A Rallying Cry to Prayer – Your Country Needs You!

Someone was unable to go with friends from our church to a Kingdom Come conference in West Sussex and we were offered her place. Nina already had an appointment, so I took an unscheduled seat in their car and en-route was pleasantly surprised to learn what and whom we have in common! And that soon connected into this post!

I learned of our friends’ attendance several years ago at Winchester Vineyard church, where we went for monthly Encounter evenings (and prophecy courses) and got to know pastors Hugh and Ginny Cryer.

As a result of a ‘God-incidence’ in 2015 I introduced readers to them and their ministry ‘Culture Changers – Reconnecting His Family’ (as told in Heidi Baker, Cindy Jacobs: Prophetic Messages Applied and Verified).

We keep in touch through the monthly ‘E-zine’ but Ginny emailed asking if I’d publish the latest, which I’d already thought about and so replied, “Something in my spirit is excited about this and its timing.”

As Ginny says, “Although these are just little shoots – I feel that the Lord is really in this too.” I too am no great pray-er – so join in the Cryer’s request and rise up as ...

A VAST ARMY

I write this with urgency. We believe that the Lord is about to move powerfully in this nation once again. This time not just on the indigenous people of this land as in Wesley and Whitfield’s time but now in present day UK, where we are represented by many different tribes and nations who have settled here and can call themselves British.

For this move of God to come, I believe that the Lord is wanting to raise up an army and that we are all part of that army. His army for His battle for Britain today. Just as Rees Howells wrote about the battle for the skies and the heavenlies in 1940, so we are now called to wage war in the same way.

To be perfectly honest, Hugh and I do not feel we are great “pray-ers” and I want you to know that this letter is for those of you like us. To be even more candid, our hearts rather sank when we felt the Lord calling us to obediently follow Him to rally prayer gatherings. Yet we believe that the Lord has spoken to us from Ezekiel 37 – that we are like dry bones and that there is so much more that the Lord wants to pour into us – His very life! For that to happen He is showing us our need and wanting us to start to pray without perhaps always feeling the equipping to do so.

Will you join us? Will you, in this summer season of rest and holiday, when the flesh may crave “not now”; will you answer this call?

We really believe that as we all ask Him who we could gather and pray with (regardless of denomination or not), He will pull our dry bones together supernaturally and a vast army will arise, and it will be His doing to save a nation that is in desperate need.

“SO THAT THEY WILL NOT PERISH”

Does your heart sink? If so I would ask you to reflect on Jonah when an unbelieving sea captain asked him to call on his God but Jonah was asleep. The captain said incredulously, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish” (Jonah 1:6).

The thing that particularly cut me to the quick was the point that it is not about us, but about them! About all the peoples that do not know Him in our nation. Dear friends, this is not about how we feel either. It is about who we are. The Lord is calling ALL His people to come together in our homes and other venues to pray for our nation

We believe that as we step out in faith – the Lord will give us the strategies – not just to know how to hear the warnings of what the enemy plans to do – but more than that, He will speak to us from heaven showing the counter-attacks we are to use. So whenever there is a warning coming to us – “Seek me” says the Lord “And I will show you the strategy to stop it.” Indeed we believe the Lord is saying, “I will show you how to do it.” He knows we are not yet alive as He would want us to be and we probably know that in our heart of hearts too. All this is about to change! Will you answer this call to the “unqualified”?

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!

Whether you live in the UK or not, I felt the Lord say that this applies to you too. If you are not living in the UK, please ask the Lord what your response should be, as our joint response is to serve Him.

So this is a time for action – a time to ask and pray about what YOUR response might be as part of an army which may usher in a fresh move of the Spirit of God in our nation. The issues are above politics, they concern the spiritual future of our nation We need His family to be reconnected and to call upon God, to forget our political differences and as a “Christian” nation to pray that God’s will shall increasingly be done on earth here as in heaven.

WILL YOU JOIN US?

A few months ago I had a text from a friend in Newbury. It was abundantly clear that his heart was to see this nation turned around once more. Since then we have met together in another home equidistant between him and us and our little gathering has begun to grow.

Indeed he has just sent me this prophetic word for the UK [previous post] which I think you would want to see. Here is an excerpt from it which is very encouraging for us as Culture Changers. Not least, as it talks of the importance of keeping the home fires burning at this time:-

“I see prayer gatherings beginning to emerge in the United Kingdom in an immense way, and many will be a part of many home churches/home groups, that will be very Apostolic and Prophetic in nature. Much of the prayer gatherings will come from these, and I see a great wave of the moving of God’s Spirit through these groups. It will be a grass-roots movement of God’s remnant there…”

Would you like to be part of something like this? If so then do follow our lead and just get going – the more vulnerable we feel – probably the more powerfully the Lord can use us. And if, of course, you are intercessors and all this makes your heart soar but you know you are already on course, then please pray for those of us who are starting out!!

GETTING ALIGNED FOR WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO

To finish, in early 2012 the Lord spoke to us about not starting a movement but reconnecting His Family. Just this last week He sovereignly reminded us that now is the time. As I close you might like to know of two, of no doubt many more, events being organised by others who sense the urgency of this hour.

NATIONAL DAY OR PRAYER

One is the national Day of Prayer organised by David Hathaway of World Vision which to be held on 8th September in Westminster Central Hall.

CALL THE NATION TO PRAYER – AS ONE

The other is what looks like a smaller endeavour yet I feel has national importance too. On 29th September, Call the Nation to Prayer is organising, two linked gatherings, ‘As One’. First, at the old Coventry Cathedral ruins and later in the nearby village of Meriden, traditionally the centre of England. ‘As One’, is about unity and reconciliation, prayer and declaration to call forth the release of revival prophecy upon the nation.

Remarkably the date is on the same weekend as a small gathering at our home on Sunday 30th September.

A RALLYING CRY!

This letter is meant to be a rallying cry. We believe we see the beginnings of the Holy Spirit moving in our land once more. How thrilling to be part of it. Let’s not look down and be overwhelmed by what we see. Let us look up and get His perspective once more and know that He has a good plan and that we can be part of it.

Much love dear friends

Ginny and Hugh

Richard’s Note – A Repentance Issue: this weekend sees yet another example of the End-times (#15 of About Signs) as the spirit of Herod influences the church (see this post) – read Revd Gavin Ashenden on Ely Cathedral and the Great Apostasynote some images are extremely distasteful but convey the gross unrighteousness of such parades!

Brexit-EU battles follow Bible history and prophecy – 1: ‘spirit of Herod’ exposed in politics

It’s important not to loose sight of the fuller insights afforded by two related words from the Lord received during Trooping the Colour; one in 2016 only days before the EU-Referendum, the other this year just before Parliament voted on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill.

Troops parading along The Mall on return to barracks after the Trooping the Colour ceremony in Horse Guards Parade (photo BBC iplayer)

Having appeared ‘out-of-the-blue’ in our own house, the first word (“This is My country”) enabled me to recognise the authenticity of the extensive one Veronika West received . Both words bring news of Father’s heart for Great Britain, thereby confirming we’re in His awesome plan.

However, there’s one aspect of that second word we’ve yet to consider, AND it links the European Union, our government and the church to Bible history and prophecy – even bringing a fresh insight to eschatological theory.

Also, I submit that it accounts for the deep, persistently anti-democratic stance of EU-Remainers.

This year’s word came on 9th June and Veronika posted video-cum-notes entitled, A Divine Convergence, a Trooping of the Colours, the (Fox) Spirit of Herod over the Land, of which I quote extracts below and underline points for consideration:

She was told, “Daughter Look and See for the Spirit of Herod seeks to destroy and annihilate the Vision and Destiny of this Nation, WATCH AND PRAY! for this cunning, crafty and treacherous Spirit is now operating over the Government and the Church in this Nation”! …

…He then likened the Houses of Parliament to a HEN HOUSE and said, “Just as a fox comes to the hen house under the cover of darkness to scatter, to steal, to kill and to destroy, so the fox has come to the Houses of Parliament in this Nation”.

The Holy Spirit quickened her to read Luke 13:31-32 where Jesus referred to Herod as ‘”that fox” and she explains, “Now as I read that verse, I inquired again from the Holy Spirit what He was showing me and He revealed to me that the ‘Fox’ was prophetically symbolic of the Spirit of Herod that is now operating over the Nation. The Spirit of Herod comes with the purpose and goal of total destruction and annihilation, this cunning and dangerous spirit comes at a time when a people, nation or individual is about to reach full maturity, growth, purpose and Destiny. The Spirit of Herod hates anything good or godly, this treacherous spirit seeks only to kill and destroy destinies that are on the verge of blooming.

‘As I continued praying, I began to see a powerful prophetic parallel unfolding before (me) concerning the Nation and BREXIT. I clearly began to see how this same Spirit of Herod which came against the Destiny of Jesus, John the Baptist, Elijah (operating through Jezebel), Moses and Joseph is now operating over our Government and over the Church in the Nation. This Spirit of Herod is Warring against the people of God in this Nation, and this Treacherous Spirit is contending for the Birthright and Destiny of Great Britain. (This Spirit of Herod is a GREAT THREAT TO THE NATION AT THIS TIME)!”

Drawing her to a close, Holy Spirit repeated but in more detail:

“Daughter just as the fox was seen on parade square in the light of day, out in the open for everyone to see, Watch! as My Spirit of Truth and Righteousness moves to uncover, expose and bring to light the works of wickedness and witchcraft in the land, and Watch! For those who have dishonoured Me and who have turned away and rebelled against My plans and purposes in the Nation, I will cause them to be stripped naked and paraded out in the open before all men, FOR NO LONGER WILL MY JUSTICE AND VINDICATION TARRY IN THIS NATION”!

So, this word reveals that this ‘spirit of Herod’ exhibits a dual-aspect of “operating over the Government and the Church”. In my opinion, it may possibly be identified with one of the satanic ‘trinity’ known in deliverance ministry as the Spirit of Jezebel.

OVER THE GOVERNMENT:

We observed the political aspect of this prophecy start to manifest within days. It was publicly exposed by the Daily Mail (see Today’s Press Scoop Exposes Anti-Brexit Schemers) followed later by The Telegraph’s summary, ‘An Often Baffling Episode in The Brexit Story’. Meanwhile, my scripture trail on the parliamentary plotting brought a surprising insight, which soon got confirmed. The skullduggery continued across the political spectrum and a month later a video summary unwittingly captured the above prophecy’s specific aspect: Mogg ‘Outfoxed’ Remainers To Save Brexit.

Those blogs considered evidence of a ‘spirit of Herod’ operating through people in, or directly connected with, Government. In part 2 we’ll consider its modus operandi within the Church.

Prophetic Parallel

First, however, let’s unpack the “powerful prophetical parallel” Veronika saw between that spirit’s working against the destiny of Old Testament prophets, Jesus’ birth and life and today’s intense, prolonged battles over Britain’s destiny and our leaving the EU.

As in biblical times, this spirit of Herod’s mission would be to constrict any nation that has a holy history in God’s purposes into becoming a vassal state of the ungodly (even satanically directed) modern Roman Empire, and thus stop it moving into its destiny!

Herod ‘the Great’ was ancient Rome’s puppet ruler of its province of Judea and the Jewish people, plus Galilee, Samaria, Idumea, Peraea and territories north-eastward. As recorded in Luke’s historically detailed Gospel, this Herod treacherously told the eastern magi who were searching for new-born Jesus that he wanted to visit and worship the child born to be king of the Jews. But instead, he directed the ruthless massacre of boys under the age of two years! (His sons Herod Antipas inherited Galilee and Archelaus, Judea, but after the latter’s banishment through incompetence in 6 AD it came under the direct control of a procurator responsible to Rome (eg. Pilate).

Therefore, we notice the spirit of Herod’s mission in our day is once again on behalf of a man-made empire founded upon and growing out of the Treaty of Rome (1957) that’s now a large, united federation of European nations, thereby re-establishing a ‘Revived Roman Empire’; as may have been foretold in the Bible’s closing book at Revelation 13:3 (see Footnotes).

That insight enables us to understand the intensely vociferous anti-democracy aim of EU-Remainers, and the dishonesty, betrayal and treachery working within government but now exposed by Prime Minister May’s Chequers Agreement, plus its political fall-out in which many claim this would leave Britain as a vassal state of the EU!!

Moreover whilst I mull it over, Herod started building the magnificent Second Temple in Jerusalem in 19 BC but it wasn’t completed until 64 AD – six years before the Romans destroyed it. That wasn’t so much because the Jews rebelled against Rome, but more from Jesus’ prophetically weeping over the city, because they “did not know the time of your visitation!” (Luke 19:41-44).

Therefore, in considering prophetic parallels, is it fanciful to think that, as the European Economic Community and its subsequent governmental beast, the European Union and its parliament’s modern Tower of Babel, are ruled over by the spirit of Herod then it, too, could follow the destiny of his earlier achievement? That the EU too will fail and fall; be dismantled and destroyed with little left to mark its earlier existence??

I close with realising this is the second ‘scriptural trail’ that’s led to ‘the fall of Babylon’ reference. (The first followed a scriptural remark by Jacob Rees-Mogg MP indirectly related to ‘the fox’, as told here and confirmed later.)

Also, we again note that Bible prophecy and contemporary prophetic word, albeit a different one received November 2015 (here), firmly predict the EU’s eventual fall.

  • Evangelical theologian John F Walwoord’s The Revelation of Jesus Christ – ‘The Deadly Wound of the Beast’: ’13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.’ John in his vision sees one of the heads of the beast as wounded unto death, and the apparent parallelism is to the slain Lamb, described in 5:6. John further observes that the deadly wound (literally “plague”) is healed and that the entire earth marvels at the beast…The wounding of one of the heads seems instead to be a reference to the fact that the Roman Empire as such seemingly died and is now going to be revived. It is significant that one of the heads is wounded to death but that the beast itself is not said to be dead…The beast is both personal and the empire itself; so also is the head. The revival of the future empire is considered a miracle and a demonstration of the power of Satan.’
  • There’s some debate among scholars as to whether or not this passage, relating as it does to the vision of the fourth beast described in Daniel chapter 7, refers to an empire, nation or to an individual, eg. the Antichrist (per Dr A. Fruchtenbaum).

Wanda Alger: Holy Fear and Terror of The Lord

Another timely posting from Wanda which reinforces what we’ve just heard from Kevin Zadai on what he learned upon meeting Jesus when he unexpectedly died during a dental procedure (To Heaven and Back), and recalls my terror upon His visitation (as told here).  Also, Wanda’s dream brings to mind Smith-Wiggleworth’s stunning vision.

Given some recent events that are making national headlines, I feel compelled to share a dream I had in 2015 in which I had an open vision of the coming days. The weight of it’s message was clear and I believe we are getting closer and closer to a shift we could never imagine and […]

Update on ‘Rule Britannia’ and more ‘God-incidents’ re Brexit

Thank you Dave Hood for notifying me that within an hour of closing down for the long weekend by publishing Rule Britannia – Raising of the Titanic, Veronika West re-posted it with ‘GOD IS CONFIRMING HIS WORD OVER GREAT BRITAIN’ preceding a copy of the image that spoke deeply into my spirit whilst preparing Dave’s article for this blog:

Just before yesterday’s morning’s church service a subscriber-friend who’d read that post told me it had affected him too – and upon speaking of it he felt Holy Spirit’s tingle that confirmed it’s something of God. Naturally, we went on to share our concerns over Friday’s betrayal of Brexit at Chequers and surmised that nevertheless it may ‘give EU and supporters enough rope to hang themselves’. (I recalled there may be prophetic words on this relating to Haman re EU and Brexit – now found here and here.)

Just before that re-post, Veronika used the video from the Proms ‘Rule Britannia’ from my preceding post on hers and another’s contribution to Fulfilled Prophecy #32, and wrote this:

‘I PROPHESY WE THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN SHALL NEVER, NEVER BE SLAVES, THE STRANGLEHOLD OF THE SERPENT SPIRIT LEVIATHAN HAS BEEN BROKEN OVER THE LAND. NO LONGER WILL GREAT BRITAIN REMAIN SHACKLED BY THE CHAINS OF BONDAGE AND WITCHCRAFT, FOR THE BATTLE HAS BEEN FOUGHT AND WON, THE SOUND OF THE RECLAIMERS CRY WILL NOW BE HEARD GOING FORTH ACROSS THE LAND. I DECREE AND DECLARE THIS IS THE SEASON OF DIVINE RESTORATION AND KINGDOM REFORMATION IN THE NATION”!

‘Ps; Thank you RichardsWatch for sharing this UTube Video.’

I’ve been ruminating over the weekend of the importance and very appropriate timing of Donald Trump’s visit to the UK and then read this from a few hours ago on Veronika’s facebook:

‘BREXIT UK! GOD COINCIDENCES?

‘David Davis RESIGNS AT MIDNIGHT (11th Hour: Divine Intervention)

‘Prince Louis Gets Baptised with River Jordan Waters today (Freedom Stands before the Nation)

‘TRUMP due to Arrive same week (BREAKER ANOINTING)’

On Friday, she’d received more from the Lord on the England vs Colombia match:

‘BREXIT; MEDITATING AGAIN OVER THE PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ENGLAND GAME AGAINST COLUMBIA, the Holy Spirit highlighted to me the Name of the Goal Keeper who saved the last penalty; JORDAN PICKFORD, JORDAN MEANS ‘FREEDOM’ See; Josh 3:17, GOD IS IN THE DETAIL’

After Friday’s ‘Now’ word on crossing over the Jordan to Freedom, Saturday’s quarter final victory over Sweden saw Jordan Pickford named as ‘Man of the Match’! Also came news (Daily Express) of Prince William’s having brought water from the River Jordan for Prince Louis’ baptism today. So Veronika notes:

‘RIVER JORDAN WATERS BEING FLOWN INTO U.K. FOR PRINCE LOUIS BAPTISM…!

‘WHEN GOD SPEAKS, HE SPEAKS LOUD, CLEAR AND WITH CONFIRMING SIGNS…!!

‘To think that Prince William who STANDS REPRESENTING THE NATION OF GREAT BRITAIN was standing on the banks of the Jordan is now bringing the waters home to baptise his son. (THIS IS NOT ONLY A POWERFUL PROPHETIC PICTURE OF WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN OUR NATION AT THIS VERY MOMENT BUT IT CONFIRMS THE WORD GOD GAVE ME YESTERDAY CONCERNING BREXIT; Joshua 3; ISRAELITES CROSSING OVER ON DRY GROUND)

‘See Word posted yesterday; “WATCH AND PRAY! FOR THE NATION NOW STANDS ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN (Freedom), WATCH! AS YOUR ENEMIES WILL BE DRIVEN OUT BEFORE YOU AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF, FOR THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED OVER THE LAND, ITS TIME TO ADVANCE, ITS TIME TO CROSS OVER INTO THE LAND THAT I HAVE PROMISED YOU”!

‘Half-time’ briefing: God as ‘Game-changer’ (Fulfilled Prophecy #32)

Could England’s progress through the World Cup unite Britain after two years of deep bitter divisions over the democratic result of the UK Referendum on the EU??

Wimbledon tennis championship’s now on and, as we don’t follow football in any way, shape or form, there’s no contest over what we watch on TV – especially as the camera homed in on our 9-year old grandson and his mother sitting near the front of Centre Court, courtesy of last year’s ticket lottery, during Tuesday’s opening minutes of Rafa Nadal’s match! (Also, they were given seats in Court No.1 to watch his hero, Novac Djokovic.)

That delight helped us persevere with the BBC’s technical incompetence and lack of information in failing to deliver continuous, live pictures to internet-linked televisions!

On this blog’s Facebook version of my previous post on the England-Colombia match, Michael Nixon comments:
“May I share something, while watching the game I saw an intervention. The team looked definitely out, then saving the penalty and then scoring, turned the whole game around.

“I saw this as the country from nowhere, being a complete turn-around. Coming out of The E.U. taking control back from out of nowhere. The intervention is God, He is the game-changer….”

That’s precisely what Veronika understood too. I hadn’t intended interrupting the flow of the two guest posts by Dave Hood but got a prompting to check her site as I don’t get any feed from it. Upon reading her latest and surfing through bits of the video I knew it just had to be inserted into this schedule. So upon getting Michael’s comment I’ve now revisited what she says, namely:

“I was glued to my TV screen and, as I began to watch, the Lord clearly said to me, even before the game started, “Daughter watch! I’m going to confirm to you that I’ve overturned and reversed the curse that has been over the land.”

“The Lord showed me that the game would be prophetic sign about what’s happening between England and the EU…As I saw the game unfold and how dirty Colombia was playing and how badly the players were treating ours and how they were doing everything in their power to undermine and discredit our players, the Lord kept saying, “This is how the EU has been treating England”. So I kept praying in the spirit all through the game…”

[RB: See, for example, Maradona’s inappropriate insinuations noted by BBC Sport.]

“As they went into the penalty shoot-out the Lord again said to me, “Daughter watch, I am showing you and confirming to you My word to you, that I am overturning and reversing the curse over the land!” (She knew nothing about the ‘penalty curse’ until seeing next morning’s headlines.)

All in all, these two posts are wholly (and holy) appropriate for what’s revealed in the next part of Dave’s material…!!

Unbelieving, Undemocratic Bishop

Also yesterday, political blogger Adrian Hilton, aka ‘Archbishop Cranmer’, wielded his mighty ‘pen’ against the Bishop of Liverpool’s (and all undemocratic sorts) unsound public whingeing about the increasing possibility of no deal being agreed with the EU. In Deal or no deal. EU theology and Brexit ideology he concludes,

‘There may be a negotiated deal with the EU, or there may not. But to leave with no deal would not be senseless, irremediable evil, as the Bishop of Liverpool intimates, for the WTO is a beneficent and fraternal global union of law and order; of regulation and inspection; of facility and freedom. Pray against it, if you will, by all means; and signal your virtuous prayer, if you must, to the whole nation: #wisdom #consensus #listening #revisit. But far better and wiser would it be to subject your private revelation to the scrutiny of reason, and, instead of fomenting discord, to place your political conviction humbly at the feet of the democratic community: ‘Hearken unto the voice of the people…‘

To encourage his readers and share the benefits mine have gained through this blog, I joined in the usual extensive discussion by referring to some of our recent material on prophecies about Brexit and their approaching fulfillment. (To peruse discussion click preceding link and scroll to foot of the article.)

Moreover, if you’re a subscriber who’s especially interested in British history and our legal system, you’ll find a highly informative sub-thread based upon a contribution about oppressive Napoleonic Code vs English Common Law (wherein I remarked about King Alfred and a Spiritual Magna Carta).

In particular I liked an earlier, pithy remark from ‘Watchman’ in response to a reference to the National Anthem: ‘That’s a verse we don’t sing now. In my childhood I used to sing it with gusto, particularly the line “Frustrate their navy’s tricks”. It was a time when we were taught proper English history: that Britain rules the waves!’ (Emphasis mine)

According to Wikipedia’s entry on Rule Britannia, ‘This British national air was originally included in Alfred, a masque about Alfred the Great‘! Here’s its famous chorus:

‘Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!

‘Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.’

Its third verse seems most appropriate for these times and what Dave Hood brings in the next part of his guest post.

Passion for the Nation: a Declaration for The Church

P4Nation

Join with Passion for the Nation in making the following prophetic declaration, as posted on their website today and re-published by kind permission:

CHURCH

“Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?” – Song of Solomon 8:5

We declare this is a new day, when the Bride of Christ will arise in all her fullness, radiant and covered in Glory and we call her forth in the Name of Jesus.

We decree that as Your people move in revelation from servants to sons and from sons to the Bride, fresh awareness of Your love, Your care and Your faithfulness will come to Your people, fueling a new boldness to step into all You are making possible in this day. We declare this is the day for Your people to come out of the wilderness, out of fear and failure, into the dreams, the plans and the purposes You have prepared for them.

We declare Your Bride will arise, surrendered to Your Spirit, moving with great authority in the spiritual realm, influencing the earth, ruling and reigning as You have desired.

Now, as You are establishing new Kingdom networks across the nations, we decree and declare these nations will stand in their God-given calling and identity, be visited by the power of Your Spirit, releasing the life changing power of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Even as Jesus said Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for the catch” we declare networks and relationships across Your people in these lands that have not carried life in the previous season, will be replaced and renewed, that the capacity to bring in the fullness of the Revival and Kingdom Transformation You are opening before us will be established.We decree and declare life-giving Kingdom relationships will be extended across the nations of Europe, preparing the way for Your Kingdom to increase in both numbers and influence, reversing every negative statistic and forecast in the Name of Jesus.

The Choice – ‘tipping point’ for an Outpouring is close at hand!

Leisa Ebere contacted me last weekend and writes, ‘Please find the powerful Word the Lord gave me concerning His timing and authority.  I am convinced more than ever that the tipping point for His great outpouring to the nations is very near at hand.  But, He is waiting for His people to take their positions as is written about in Jude 1. I have attached the prophecy, if you could please publish this Word to bless God’s People.’ (Emphasis mine.)

THE CHOICE

“The lasting proviso which is required to access the full benefits of My Spirit is reaching out with great extended arms as I seek to surround My People,” says the Lord. “My measuring rod is going backwards and forwards, as My Remnant decide to receive peace instead of pain, and light instead of darkness. The choice is theirs and has always been theirs,” says the Lord. “But I grow weary of tarrying whilst My People waiver to and fro; and show fear, whilst stepping back from the wondrous depths of My Spirit. My Creation must walk in tandem with Me,” says the Lord, “as alignment with My Ways, however unusual or uncomfortable, is My requirement for a great breaking down of barriers that now batter My People with such force.

“Step Out, My People, and be not afraid of those who might bruise in Word or Deed. For My Servant, Stephen, feared not and saw all of Heaven, as He declared My Power and My Glory. And I say to you in this hour, that tapping into My Power must not come through trembling lips and hidden gestures; but by bold declarations and actions; as My People move with pinpoint accuracy, led of My Spirit in the next days ahead. Be bold, and be fearless, and see My Spirit increase as the days grow dark,” says the Lord.

“A Blood Moon with an eclipse in 2018, was the first true heavenly sign of the beginning of the new era of My Rising,” says the Lord. “And I shall cause My prophetic minstrels to gain prominence with a greater release of My Spirit, which shall curtail the power of the dragon. And I shall cast him aside like a limp cloth as My People stand encircled by My Glory and speak the Word of Truth to the masses. The tide of My Spirit has shifted and shall gain momentum as the Harvest comes into My storehouse. Take your positions, My People, for I have marked this season for change,” Amen.

Given to Leisa Ebere on June 1st, 2018.

For more delivered by Leisa click the ‘Ebere’ tag below. The first prophetic word she brought is God’s Mandate for the Prophetic Profiling of our Nation, followed by a very powerful collection known as The UK Nationwide Circuit Prophecies, the first of which promises the Lord will give His prophets the ability to see clearly ‘My numbers’ in 2018!

Leisa advises that the Blood Moon referred to above was the total lunar eclipse of 31st January last. It’s so named because of the typical red colour during a total lunar eclipse. Being near its perigee on 30th January 2018 this moon was also known as a “Supermoon”, as well as being described as a ‘blue moon’ it was also called a “super blue blood moon”. (The term ‘once in a blue moon’ refers to the occasional occurrence of TWO full moons within one calendar month.) 

God’s ‘sign language’: follow-up to EU-web #1 – St George and the dragon

‘Jo Blogs’ post on God’s Sign Language posted Friday, proved to be an excellent lead-in to a couple of ‘signs’ sitting in my Tuesday morning in-tray on matters that had been on my mind – and then came yet another!

The first was within hours of having posted Tony’s Night Vision Concerning Brexit of a huge spider’s web and I’d then mulled over its connections with the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem on Monday 14th May.

The vision Tony Puccio saw was of a spider’s web within Europe and England being severed from its sticky strands. That evening ‘Fiona Z’ emailed me and kindly permits me to publish her message, viz:

‘Hi Richard I was in my orchard interceding for the UK with regards to the EU. I was asking the Lord, ‘How do we become totally detached?’

‘At this point I saw a clear picture of George and the dragon which I initially ignored but, on singing in tongues, the image became clearer and I asked the Lord, ‘Why Lord? Dragons are for fairy-tales – surely your Holy Spirit is enough?’ 

‘My thoughts were that fairy-tales were exactly that and if not George then ‘Who’ would the Lord send to fight and defend us in that way at this time. The Lord replied clearly,

“Michael will prepare the way for my Spirit, all unrighteousness will be burned away by the fire of my Spirit’ – He WILL have the victory!”

‘I was then reminded of Daniel 12v1. [‘At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise…’ NIV: RB insert]

‘Please ignore if you feel this not to be relevant, please test and do whatever is the Lord’s will. All I can say is that it is the clearest vision the HS has given me.’

I responded, ‘...it is indeed a most relevant revelation!  Interesting how it also relates to the weekend’s course on the book of Daniel, where Dr Fruchtenbaum explained about angelic warfare. So your email suggests our patron saint’s similar territorial activity under the head angel, the archangel Michael.

‘You will be interested to know, together with your email I had a notification from Tony’s blog of a video clip. It opens to show a person who’s been in my mind yesterday and first thing this morning…’

The rest of my reply and its associated details are for part 2 of this post. I was amazed a testing – or rather a ‘confirmation’ – of Fiona’s email was to come by lunchtime through another follow-up in God’s ‘sign language’ – or ‘God-incident’!!

During a ministry session at the day’s service for healing at Acorn Christian Foundation a dragon was sensed as having caused a great deal of bother. Within minutes the Lord quickly brought our brother through with a great blessing – He’s a good, good Father – praise Him!

As Fiona says, “Awesome when we surrender and the Lord moves in power to change everything for good!” Amen.

Footnote:

Thank you Wikipedia for the most informative entry on St George and the Dragon. It’s second paragraph offers a highly apposite insight relating to the essence of this topic, and which I’ve emphasised:

‘The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices; the saint thereby rescues the princess chosen as the next offering.

‘Only a kernel of the legend occurs in the ancient hagiography of Saint George dating to the 7th century or earlier. Here, a monarch referred to as “dragon of the abyss” persecutes the saint. The dragon-slaying may have been transferred from the legend attached to St. Theodore…’

However, that entry fails to mention that, as patron saint of England, his emblem of the red cross on white background is England’s national flag. With the addition of the diagonal crosses of St Patrick (red on white) for Ireland and Saint Andrew (white on blue) for Scotland, it becomes Britain’s flag, also known as The Union Jack.

God’s sign language

Here Joanne Rolston shares her personal reflection upon what I’ve termed as ‘God-incidents’. May our Father bless and encourage you with His ‘sign language’ direct to you too…

Jo-Blogs's avatarThe Kingdom

Einstein quote, coincidenceWhat do you think about coincidences?  Is it God trying to get our attention?  Or, as Einstein said, “a small miracle where God chooses to remain anonymous?”

I think people often get signs and dismiss them as coincidences.  I don’t dismiss them, you can miss out on a lot when you do that.

Have you experienced God trying to get your attention?  Has He tried to sign to you or speak to you with a word?  To hear, you must have the Word.  Hearing comes from the Word.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

There are two kinds of Words in the Bible, LOGOS for general application and RHEMA for personal application, where the Holy Spirit will speak directly to you, bringing  revelation.

I think hearing with the Rhema word is something that is caught rather than taught.  When I heard people…

GPS #16: are you too receiving a shower from Daniel’s book?

Dear reader – please let me know if you too have been showered by ‘jigsaw pieces’ of prophetic material within the Book of Daniel, especially regarding End-times. It’s like the Lord’s wanting us to help Him complete an invisible jigsaw by picking out pieces and dropping them into our minds – as though pushing a pile of pieces to our corner of the table.

Or to put it another way: it’s like a heavenly cloud’s been sitting for weeks over the three counties-overlap of East Hampshire – West Sussex – Surrey, to release flurries of flakes and then in fly a few pieces from overseas!  It’s a melting pot of metaphors where ‘God-incidents‘, ‘Invisible Jigsaw‘, ‘Bridge O’er the Pond‘ all indicate God’s ‘Global Prophecy Signals‘ are definitely operational.

For the record, here’s twelve pieces I’ve noticed:

  1. 10 April – learn previous week’s message at service for healing was on Daniel
  2. 17 April – Daniel again features at Acorn (unusually, 3 readings over April)
  3. 19 April – Cycles and Israel’s 70th Anniversary prompts rethink of Daniel’s 70
  4. 23 April – review previous on Daniel for summary on unsealing and new post
  5. 23 April – Nelson Walters blogs on his new book on Daniel: ‘70 Times 7′
  6. 26 April – intending posting on Daniel but publish Genesis & John geometry
  7. 26 April – need to split Daniel draft into two parts (published 6th & 11th May)
  8. 26 April – Veronika West vision of heaven and earth’s time synchronising
  9. 28 April – Receive invitation to Highlights from Daniel teaching weekend
  10. 3 May – Nina tells me of Anne Graham Lotz’s new book: ‘The Daniel Key’
  11. 6 May – Flag up Daniel in Signs from God? (Iranian earthquake on Israel’s 70th)
  12. 10 May – Finish synopsis on unsealing Daniel as next post > more to come!

Let me know in Comments below if you’ve been getting pieces too. Alternatively, you can email me (richardswatch@talktalk.net) or comment on Richard’s Watch Facebook.

Jarrod Cooper: A new prophetic word on a new season in God

A notification of this in my in-tray preceded a private message on keeping our unity of the Spirit as we move forward in the healing ministry.  SO, I believe we all need to know and weigh this fresh word. Thank you Lord – and Jarrod:

In prayer this morning (3rd May 2018), I felt this word from heaven. I sense God would say: There is a ripping open of the heavenly realms above the United Kingdom right now – bringing the Church into a new season in God. Encounters are increasing; the prophetic realm is being amplified, clarified, and magnified…

Yoke-breaking anointing coming upon the earth – Veronika West

Thank you to UK Prophetic Words for publishing this from Veronika West:

A YOKE-BREAKING ANOINTING IS BEING RELEASED IN THE HEAVENS AND IT IS COMING DOWN INTO THE EARTH IN THIS HOUR

I hear the Spirit say, “A YOKE-BREAKING ANOINTING IS BEING RELEASED IN THE HEAVENS AND IT IS COMING DOWN INTO THE EARTH IN THIS HOUR. TELL MY PEOPLE TO RECEIVE IT..!

While praying today, I saw tormenting and lying demons standing behind many trying to drag them down and pull them backwards, I could hear the sound of the demons voices as they screamed words of defeat and despair over the lives of many, and those who stopped to give ear to their lies quickly became weak, weary and began to wander off from the path of truth and light.

Listen! satan knows that there is an UNLOCKING OF A NEW AND GREATER LEVEL of Freedom, Breakthrough and Divine Revelation that is being released from heaven to the Sons and Daughters of God in this hour, the enemy is aware of the mighty signs, wonders and miracles that are about to be made fully manifest in the earth.

As we know, the greatest opposition and fiercest battles always come before the greatest release and VICTORY!!

Now as I continued to pray, I felt the heat and intensity of the spiritual warfare that is going on in the heavenly realms. I saw how the enemy is ruthlessly and relentlessly pursuing the Sons and Daughters of God that are aligned and rightly positioned on the front lines of battle.

As I stayed pressing into the Lord, the Spirit of God quickened to me His Word from Isaiah 10:27 which says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

Today I Decree: There is a yoke-breaking anointing is being released from heaven to those that find themselves on the front lines of intense conflict and relentless battle. I Declare: you have been Called to be Fruitful on the Frontline, you have been Anointed to Advance and take New Ground, you have been empowered and equipped to Pursue, to Overtake, to Overcome and to RECOVER ALL that has been stolen from you in the last season.

NOW HAVING DONE ALL, STAND YOUR GROUND IN THIS HOUR; Do not Retreat but Run towards your adversary. FEAR NOT for you are fuelled by the Fires of the Holy Ghost and you are filled with the Spirit of Might and Power. YES! “For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire”.

Again I Decree, just as God has said, “This battle shall be with burning and fuel of fire”. I Declare, Let God ARISE on your behalf and let your enemies be scattered! In this hour, I see you overtake your overtakers in the MIGHTY name of Jesus!

I hear the Spirit say, “MY BELOVED FEAR NOT! For I am the Mighty Breaker that goes up before you to break through the gates of the enemy and to open up new doors and carve out new pathways for you, for just as I blessed you before so shall I bless you now. Watch! As My Spirit of Might and Power now leads and guides you forward into Great Victory, for you will walk in a new level of clarity, Understanding, Wisdom and Revelation in this hour. My Son, My Daughter, truly I tell you this is your turning point, a turning point towards the fulfillment of My purposes, My plans and My promises for you in this season,” says God.

“I tell you, I am not the author of chaos and confusion, but I am the author and finisher of your faith. Now As you Look into My face you will see through My eyes and you will become strengthened, steadfast, immovable and unshakable in your Faith, Hope and Expectation. My Beloved Stand, Be Still and know that I am your God, I will Never leave you nor forsake you, but I will deliver you, I will uphold you with My Righteous right hand, I will protect and preserve you from the onslaught and assault of the evil one that has come against you in this hour”..!

“Surely I am not a man that can lie, but I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, I will never leave you Helpless, Alone and Hopeless to stumble and fall in the darkness, For I am the Light and the Door that leads to Kingdom Destiny”, says God.

“Now gird your loins and strengthen yourself in MY VICTORY over the works of darkness, death and destruction. Even in this moment I am preparing you, propelling you and re-positioning you as mighty Warriors who will go forth to overthrow every throne of Witchcraft and Wickedness that has been established in the land. So Awake and Arise Oh Mighty Warriors and TAKE UP THE BANNER OF VICTORY, GO FORTH MY BRAVE HEARTS AND TAKE THE LAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN INTO YOUR HANDS. LOOK! I Have anointed you with the Breakers and Finishers Anointing, YOUR VICTORY is assured in this hour.”

Three pertinent prophetic words relating to recent posts

I’d like to draw readers’ considered attention to three words published by Lana Vawser within the past week because they’re pertinent to what I’ve sensed and noticed in my personal life since the New Year, as well as to recent blogs. One of hers is especially encouraging in connection with prayer ministry – click linked-titles to read:

8 March – Don’t Be Discouraged by the Attack on Your Inheritance…

9 March – I Am Healing the Traumas of Past Seasons (lifting the ‘cloak’ of trauma)

12 March – Prophets of His Heart, There Are More With You Than Against You! Keep Decreeing. A Major Increase of Breaker Anointing is Being Released…

The second brought confirmation of a deep work the Lord did during last week when a ministering couple chose not to delay help by usual counselling procedure but to work with the Holy Spirit instead.

That word’s importance is enhanced by the ‘God-incidental’ fact that I happened to be online Saturday morning catching up on emails to reduce Monday morning’s quantity in view of our plans to start house maintenance/re-decorating that day.

Not having time to read Lana’s email of Friday, but noticing its pertinence, I printed a hard-copy for perusal at leisure – and very soon after having done that in came an email from Leisa Ebere with the ‘Cave Dwellers Arise Prophecy’, which is a shorter version of Lana’s more in-depth word.

May the Lord be with you as you weigh and pray over the above words in preparation for a deeper follow-up to the last one.

Two prophetic words on a new wind and the armies of heaven

Thank you to Glasgow Prophetic Centre and to UK Prophetic Words for the following published yesterday:

LION BITES: A SECOND WIND OF THE PROPHETIC

God is releasing a wind from Heaven to come and surround you in these days. This is a second wind of the prophetic that will enable you to hear God’s voice with greater clarity; through visions, dreams, encounters, nudges and more. You’re going to start to see and hear more revelation as you get caught up in this wind of the prophetic. As it comes and surrounds you, start to ‘look and see’ what God is doing and ask how you might partner with Him in this work.

So catch this second wind of the prophetic. Start to listen and hear God speak, look and watch Him move. Open your mouth and release your voice and watch what God does.

Ezekiel 37:9-10
Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

THE LORD IS REGROUPING THE ARMIES OF HEAVEN – GOD IS ABOUT TO COME IN POWER

Chris Bennett writes

I sense a very short lull in the war in the heavenlies. The Lord is regrouping the armies of heaven for a decisive ‘Blitzkrieg’ to clear the way for Holy Spirit to land His invasion of the enemy’s territory. In short, the decks are being cleared for Holy Spirit to come in power among us, bringing revival at a level of power never before witnessed on this earth. Even the parting of the Red Sea for the Israelites fleeing Pharaoh will be realised as minor in comparison to that which is about to be released upon the dark forces of this world.

Chris Bennett, 9th March 2018

Blitzkrieg – an intense military campaign intended to bring about a swift victory.

Early morn’ musing on Jesus’ promise of our doing what He did

Not long after 6 o’clock a gate-shaped line of light started glowing around our bedroom curtains. Awake well before the alarm-clock had woken up I ‘said in my head’, “Morning Lord.”  Thursdays being a full-on blog-day, my mind’s usually ‘motoring’ away but, as I’d downloaded yesterday what had been cruising around my neural network since Sunday it seemed today’s going to be free-and-easy.  I could blog on something buried at the back of my mind since answering comments on the ministry of Rolland and Heidi Baker. And so I gave the day to the Lord… [LOL, several time-consuming tasks were to crop up!]

Lolling on my back and enjoying our cat’s furry back, I found my thoughts went back 50 or more years to a verse of scripture – one that’s the justification for my youthful disdain of churches and religious beliefs – not only of my encounters with inter-denominational  animosity, but also of believers failure to follow Jesus’ own life and instructions! (See my testimony.)

A scripture? One against church? Surely not, you say. The NIV version of the verse in question reads,

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing – he will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father…” (John 14:12-13)

I’d never heard of such things being done by Christians in 1950’s and 1960’s – surely my devout mother would have known and talked about them!

And so the Lord reminded me of the path I’d taken, from which He rescued me decades later and brought me into the Kingdom; and then shown me that a number of churches  were, in fact, turning to His Way of Working as a result of an immense outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He started by introducing believers globally to the reality and meaning of our heavenly Father’s love in 1994 and has since continued to do so. And so I recalled the various ministries arising from that momentous event and my encounters therein.

<<<A_L_A_R_M >>> Get up, make two cuppa tea and cereal, over which I read aloud the ‘reflection’ for today from one of our ministers. It comes as no  surprise to discover the Lord has already lodged in my head what He wants to show me.:

The opening words for ‘Day 68 – March 8th’ in David Strutt’s Sanctuary…Moments in His Presence read:

‘Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.  Whatever you ask in My name….’ !!!!!!!

I really couldn’t expect anything less; now could I?

David reminds us: Jesus often teaches us to ask and ask, to keep asking through the relationship we have with Him and His Father. In fact, before the above verse He divulges that They are in one another and later continues with in-depth instruction in that upper room on Their other partner, The Holy Spirit – and how to live and abide in The Three of Them.:

“Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him…If anyone loves me he will obey my teaching. my Father will love him and we will come and make our home in him.” (John 14: 21 & 23)

As David puts it: ‘He says that we are to abide in Him…The ultimate mutual abiding community!’  I recall 12th February’s evening prayer meeting where David read from the day’s devotional on Heidi’s facebook entitled Reckless Devotion, Day 43 – Humble.

I thought he’d said, “Wreck-less” because she often describes her encountering Jesus as His leaving her “wrecked” and “undone” by His love and presence. Hence, she’s often unable to stand and has to kneel, sit or lie down in conferences. ‘Practising the Presence’ leaves her in a non-intellectual mode of communication that may strike those who haven’t yet been baptised in the Holy Spirit as being rather silly.

It was, therefore, a very pleasant surprise to learn that, like our Vicar, David is familiar with the Bakers’ ministry.

After we’d been to Toronto, where I had an open vision of the effects of their ministry upon my first seeing Heidi 15 years ago, we found it very hard being in churches that were closed to the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, it was a terrific surprise upon visiting this Anglican church two years ago to get three confirmations, one from David, immediately upon our arrival of our being in the right place – and another one months later upon learning the Vicar has connections with Bath, Bethel and Toronto!

In the prayer meeting Dave told us about one of the worship sessions at last year’s New Wine event. The band was introducing new songs, which didn’t help the congregation get into normal worship. But then came time for the preacher: Heidi entered singing in tongues and the presence of the Holy Spirit fell in power!!

Like to know why and how that happens? Then listen to Heidi’s explanation of getting close to the Lord and knowing His mind:

“So it’s obedience and love; and low and slow – and it’s all together: it’s awesome!”

Footnote: for details of my open vision see A Third Great Awakening?  Rolland Baker told me Iris’ Director Surpresa Sithole saw the same at the start of his ministry; and it relates to reactions at highest levels of the Islamic world (see Not Many People Know).

GPS#11 part 4: ‘from the ends of the earth’ – New Zealand

Another incoming ‘alert’, this time the first of two from overseas was received from the Lord’s ‘Global Prophecy Signalling’ system a fortnight ago today.

Over that weekend I’d been musing over the query from ‘AD’ on a call for more prayer for our nation and Suzanne’s introducing me to her intercessory ministry, Passion For The Nation and booklet Declarations to Change a Nation – plus Sharon’s mentoring day being of direct personal relevance!

Furthermore, I’d noted a friend’s email that evangelist David Hathaway is calling for a national day of prayer (more on this and the other overseas ‘ping’ in part 5). So an influx of intercessory calls was gathering momentum and Monday morning 5th February saw more arriving – and aligning with what I’d heard at the weekend’s meeting!

“PROPHESY WITH ‘TEETH’ – like a ‘Threshing Sledge’!”

In catching up with my long weekend’s cyber in-tray of email and WordPress/Facebook notifications I espied a courteous request from ‘Victoria’, who blogs ‘from the ends of the earth’ in the North Island of New Zealand. She asks for permission to republish my blog of the revival prophecy that Arthur Burt carried since 1937 and known as ‘There Shall Be No Ebb’. It now features on her group’s Facebook calling prayers for an Awakening in New Zealand and the South Pacific – and it was soon to be repeated here!

In its republication I’d sensed a possible reinforcing of that word in broadcasting across a cyber-platform and thus, as a prophetical declaration, in keeping with what Dr Stone had heard of the Lord blessing prophetic words with ‘teeth’. That is, the prophetic’s now going up a level, beyond what Sharon a few years ago on its fulfillment getting closer to declaration (ie acceleration), into delivery with a ‘threshing’ action now it’s harvest time.  Hence for example, the ‘fortuitous’ re-appearance of the ‘castles’ prophetic word just after this New Year. AND this is borne out by the general tenor of new material coming daily from UK Prophetic Words (UKPW).

Also, each of the Saturday’s main sessions were of direct relevance to me; not only on very recent spiritual exercises (‘Engage’ with Jesus) and a 50 years-old ambition (being a ‘friend of God), but also regarding my calling 10 years ago to blog on the prophetic! So, my focus that week was to return to basics and blog in-depth on watching and what to watch for; which resulted in two new ‘About’ reference hubs on this blog’s menu – and I reversed the title of an existing one to follow them alphabetically (Brexit vs EU).

Then on Wednesday 7th, UKPW published Prophetic Decrees for Revival in the UK – Arthur Burt  – ‘There Shall Be No Ebb’. Day’s later I asked Suzanne Payne whether or not she’d been contacted or read Victoria’s focus on that word in NZ. She replied in the negative saying ‘No other reason other than it’s the oldest prophecy for the UK that I know of.’

In fact, Sue had introduced the rationale for republishing prophecies in that post, viz:

‘Over the last few months, God has repeatedly been calling His people to DECREE the PROMISES that have been PROPHESIED over OUR LIVES, our CHURCHES, our CITIES and our NATION.

‘For this reason, I thought I would be good to daily post KEY PROPHETIC WORDS that have been given for this nation, so we can MAKE DECREES from each Word, LEADING UP TO David Hathaway’s Day of Prayer for Britain 23 March (see here )

‘It would be great if we could be in unity in doing this and SEE REVIVAL BREAK FORTH in the UK.

‘Starting with decreeing this Word from Arthur Burt 1937: I DECREE over the UK:

It (Revival) shall come as a breath…

And the breath shall bring the wind…

And the wind shall bring the rain.

And there shall be floods and floods and floods…

And torrents and torrents and torrents.

Souls shall be saved like falling leaves from mighty oaks swept by a hurricane.

Arms and legs shall come down from heaven…

… And there shall be no ebb.”

Thus, we have a confirmation of the answer to the question AD had raised that began the influx of calls for prayer that I was observing – and now a reiteration and declaring of existing prophecies on both sides of the world – giving them ‘teeth’!!

Here are links to UKPW’s subsequent decrees based upon these prophecies:

UK Prophetic Words provides a valuable resource to the body of Christ and, as with all prophecies and visions for any source, discernment and weighing with the Lord’s Spirit and scripture are essential prerequisites when reading and using them in prayer.

Bible Update: 2Thess 2 cont’d – the new Gay Gnosticism, by Gavin Ashenden

Further to my briefing in the previous post, here Dr Gavin wields a scriptural scalpel with forensic precision to expose unrighteous falsehood behind some discussions at last July’s ‘Sex Sin-od’.:

New heresies spring up in the life of the Church from time to time, although on closer examination they turn out to be old heresies slightly reformatted. Jayne Ozanne is a vocal exponent of a gay rights and her approach is a very simple one, but no less perverse for its simplicity She preached recently […]

John Kilpatrick: 21 powerful prophetic words for 2018

‘This is a Year of Divine Interruptions’ and ‘Final Word’, respectively the opening and closing of twenty-one words delivered Friday 19th January deal with the global scene specifically. We heard these words after I’d finished drafting the previous post on my insights gained a fortnight ago on Zecharia 2.

Revd John Kilpatrick brings what the Lord told him after waking him on 23rd December 2017 and four minutes into this message he refers to the issues over Jerusalem and Israel that I’ve blogged about.

Prophetic ‘castle’ words and pictures now coming into play

Several readers have commented or emailed me on the timeliness of the word from Liz Evans in her Call to pray for our nation and establish God’s rule.

It is undated and thereby avoids attribution of dating or thinking its ‘dated’, or it’s gone stale. After all, the Lord looks over His word to ensure it achieves its purpose and thus doesn’t return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). This word brought by Liz was received several years ago, but we’ll connect the ‘prophetic dots’ or ‘jigsaw pieces’ and examine them as being evidence from the Lord as to that word being timely for 2018.

Bringing prophetic pieces together

Many regulars will be familiar with my use of godly coincidences as a tool in receiving, checking and testing prophetic words and visions. The scriptural warrant for doing so is quite clear but new readers wishing to investigate further are directed to ‘The Protocol of Prophecies’ in An Introduction to Prophecy.

‘BRIDGE o’er POND’ – ALABAMA

At about five past five last Sunday afternoon I found myself nodding in agreement with pastor John Kilpatrick at Church of His Presence saying the Lord has been giving him prophetic words for each new year…but it was the actual date that made me nod:

“It started in 2009 when the Lord first gave me a prophetic word. We waited on the Lord for the New Year and when He left I just got a download…” (listen from 1:03:00 here)

I was pleased to get a confirmation from a pastor that had been the start of a prophetic process for him too. Yet for me it had been a ‘need’ to write on the prophetic. Moreover, I’d been unconscious to a specific thread that had been sewn throughout the years until recently, when another sudden shower of serendipity surrounded me with ‘jigsaw pieces’ – just like snowflakes lying around my feet!

This time, it gave me grounds to get out my old files from 2009-10.  And this wasn’t the first time buttons had been pressed to open up and relive my visual memory.

The first such ‘re-opening’ had come after debating an issue at Prophecy Today in mid-December. A confirmatory word brought by Brett Dewey had plugged so powerfully into one of mine in 2011 when I’d had a very vivid dream relating to Bill Johnson’s prophecy on that 3rd September being a turning point for the Kingdom of God in the UK. Brett’s dream in December 2017 showed that what ‘our’ dreams cover is now at the next stage of active unveiling – God-incidents Validate Three Prophetic Visions refers.

[Moreover, Brett’s earlier vision of a beach and wall has strong similarities to details in a personal prophecy given to me by Bath’s team in 2005 when we met Liz.]

‘BRIDGE o’er POND’ – ARIZONA

The second ‘re-opening’ of my visual memory came last week from Tony Puccio after I’d joked in his second England Ablaze about his ‘spiritual observatory’ in Tucson, Arizona. On Wednesday 3rd he kindly sent me a file with covering note simply saying,  ‘Thought this might interest you’ – Wot! – a HUGE understatement!

Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson (RB 4.2008)

In view of a couple of dreams he’d had about an inevitable change of monarch, I’d already put him in touch with a group of intercessors, who’d kindly supplied some historical prophecies on the royal family. It included a transcript of Liz Evan’s Word for UK.

I replied to Tony: ‘Re your…attachment that MIGHT interest me Tony!! It MOST certainly does, as explained below – I’m extremely grateful you’ve kept me in the loop on this…as its re-connecting me and taking me ‘full circle’…

‘…we often went to Bath City Church as it’s very special to us since 2002 (we married 6 months later) and it’s where we connected into the prophetic and met Revd Dr Sharon Stone and Liz Evans very soon afterwards.  Liz’s website is endorsed by a close friend of ours.’

I copied Liz into that reply and, after greeting her, wrote, ‘Tony’s attachment of the ‘Call’ you brought and its reference to castles immediately opened up my visual memory to the time several years ago I told you of the angels on battlements I saw close by Bath City Church.  Think I may also have emailed you on what I’d sensed of Windsor Castle being a connection between heaven and earth and then sharing that with Sharon six years ago next month!  (I didn’t know she’d soon move there)

‘Only last weekend did we watch episode 5 of The Crown (on Netflix) and noted its very close attention to detail of the ‘secret ceremony’ of Her Majesty being anointed during her Coronation, and to which your article refers. (My Her Majesty’s 90th birthday also refers.)’

BATTLEMENTS o’er BATH

I find in my personal prophecies papers that I’d emailed Liz on 18 March 2010, after our attending BCC’s Partner’s Day and wanting to discuss that weekend: ‘Yesterday was most encouraging and exciting, especially in what you said about castles and Magna Carta for I believe it may be relevant to some things that popped up over the last year… it develops upon the vision that Sharon weighed at her school [in Bath] a few years ago.’

There wasn’t time at the next weekend school to discuss, so I followed up with the details of what I’d seen in 2009, as may be read in this scanned email:

Liz replied, “Fantastic, definitely worth weighing” but I don’t recall seeing a paper version of what she’d shared. However, someone had transcribed it from her ‘Prophecy in the UK’ session at 2010 Release Conference in Bristol with Bill Johnson (him again!) and Mark Stibbe. A copy of that came from Tony, but Liz kindly sent me her version for publication (see previous post).

INVISIBLE JIGSAW PIECES

After last Thursday’s frenetic to-and-fro of the above messages the following ‘God-incidental’ input soon burst upon the scene:

  1. I realised 7 years have elapsed since this Call was made at Release 2010.
  2. That evening’s meeting with our curate of Bramshott & Liphook Church discussed her pre-Alpha spirituality course. She will be teaching on ‘interior castles’ (per Carmelite St Teresa of Avilla)!!
  3. Thus, I told her of my day’s activity and past connection with ‘castles’ and she reminded me of her Bath connections: especially Paul Skelton’s H.O.T.S. and ministry in India. (Soon after launching this blog I helped Paul by publicising the issues HOTS Bath had with Advertising Standards Agency in 2012)
  4. Our vicar Valentine Inglis-Jones was previously curator at Holy Trinity, Coombe Down Bath, and will be with out there with Paul later this month!

So Sunday’s passing remark by pastor John in Daphne, Alabama, makes yet one more confirmatory ‘God-incidence’. On top of all that is what I’d sensed about Windsor Castle in 2011 and shared with Sharon in February 2012.

HEAVEN TOUCHING EARTH

In that month, at a conference in Torquay, I mentioned to Sharon that Nina and I had visited Windsor the previous year and I’d sensed a spiritual atmosphere there. As we spoke, an image of its Castle’s famous round tower came into mind. This was followed by the idea its crenellated battlements look like the teeth of a giant cogwheel, and this could fit into some sort of invisible socket where earth could get plugged into heaven!

It’s a little hard to explain but then the thought dropped into mind that such engagement would enable the heavenly kingdom to ‘wind up’ our earthly kingdom – or ‘queen-dom’ – for the Lord’s purposes (eg. revival) – rather like putting a key into and winding up a clockwork toy. [Paws 4 Thought – a Special Town in the Thames Valley refers.]

There’s other observations I could make but for now let’s note Liz’s emphasis is reiterated by Suzanne Payne editor of UK Prophetic Words (emphasis added),

“Richard…it is a key time for this word!

Now, it is particularly significant that 8 years have passed since Liz published the full word and call to Christians to defend our Nation and establish God’s rule. In biblical symbolism 8 represents a new beginning, a new order or creation. In the account of creation God created the earth and heavens in 6 days and rested from that labour on the 7th. So the whole creation as a universal, harmonious corporate entity had its first ‘working day’ on the 8th day! (See next post for unexpected confirmation on ‘8’!)

Also, I’d had the distinct impression of 2018 being a year of going up a level, like in spiraling up after having gone around full circle ie as in a 7-year cycle. Personally, I wanted to move into the more restful 7th year of this blog’s cycle (as in my New Year thanks) yet have a strong sense of moving into a new level – and most astonished to get an award!

A most intriguing closing thought: I’d considered re-publishing my first New Year’s blog  Points to Ponder 2011-12 on its 6th anniversary. I didn’t do so yet its subject of Biblical cycles is repeated a couple of paragraphs back – and I sure didn’t plan it that way!

Many thanks to all those who have kindly shared Liz’s call to pray for Britain.

A Prophetic Word and Call to Pray for our Nation

An unusual turn of circumstances that can only be of the Lord have drawn the following document to my attention. I invite readers’ prayerful weighing of and intercession based upon this valuable word of prophetic encouragement and direction from Liz Evans. (An account of those ‘God-incidents’ will follow.)

I’m grateful for her kind permission to publish and, as Liz writes, “The more prayer the better”. I’ve copied/pasted it direct from the email to retain her emphases (hence the Times Roman – depending on your browser! – rather than usual sans-serif typeface and minimal editing).:

Liz Evans’ Word for UK – Call for Christians to pray for the Nation 

 

Sharon Stone was chatting to Liz in the green-room at a conference and asked her, “I believe God has given you a high-level Word for the UK about castles?” Liz asked her how she knew, and Sharon replied that God had told her about it.

 

Liz went on to tell Sharon what God had been showing her:

“God is doing a work of restoration in His church at the moment. He is restoring the church to Himself in intimacy and commitment, He is restoring the church to one another in unity, and He is restoring authority to the church. 

What is authority? Authority is the spiritual right and power to enforce His Kingdom rule to the world and in our lives.

 

God gave me a picture. In this picture I was having balls thrown at my head and I was being knocked over. And then quickly the picture changed. I was learning to duck and dive, and the enemy was throwing balls at me, but none of them were hitting me because I was getting wiser. But then God showed me the 3rd picture. And in the 3rd picture I had the ball. And it was now you run. That’s where the church is in this season. This is key for where we are as a nation. Some of you have been downtrodden and things have come against you in your lives but you’ve got more mature, you’ve learned how to walk in spite of those things and in spite of the things that have been happening in our nation. But you see in this season God is giving us the ball, and He’s expecting us to do something with the authority that He is giving us.

 

Where are we as a nation, and what does He want us to do with that authority? I want to tell you a story of our nation. In the 11th century, 1066, the Normans came over and they conquered the country and they put the whole of the country under King William – William the conqueror. And in order to establish and perpetuate their rule, they embarked on a series of castle building. Please note that at this point they already had authority in the land. It was theirs. But they built these castles to do certain things. They were a place of presence in the area, they were visible, so they made a statement. And they proclaimed the rule of the King and defended the land that had been given to them.  They were places of watch, seeing what the enemy was doing, seeing what was happening; and they sorted it out, they brought safety and they enforced his rule. They enforced the rule of the kingdom.

 A place of presence. A place to bring rule and order, and enforce the rule of the King, that’s justice in the land. And a place of watch, a place of prayer. What does that sound like to you? That is our remit as the church of Christ. To be the castles in the nation. This is the function of the church. You might say well that’s a nice parallel Liz, it kind of works, but why is that pertinent to the Word for the UK at the moment, at this Kairos time in our nation? Because you know that a Kairos time is ‘now’ [emphasis RB]. It’s a window of time. It’s not a Chronos time, which is on-going.

We’re at a key time. It passes. And I need to tell you that, while I’m being calm and considered because I want to communicate this to you, inside me there is a cry and I want to be on my knees before God saying ‘O God, let us not miss this time as your people because it will not come again’. And the issue of timing is key. You know, there are many prophetic people here. Timing and application are what makes a prophecy, after interpretation, effective. We don’t just want to get the revelation; we want to bring forth the fruit that God intended.

 

Now the function of a castle took on a particular importance at a certain time in the nation. And this is where we are. When King William was getting older, castle building became a key strategy because when a monarch dies, it’s a key time, it’s ripe, for the rule of the land, of the occupying force, to be challenged. It’s a vulnerable time. It needs covering. So their castle building increased to be a presence and impose rule. You know what’s coming. Since receiving this Word I’ve been hearing from God and then prophetic voices around the kingdom and the world, in totally different streams of the church, talking about the Queen. And I’ve realised that they’re picking up on it too. One of the prophets I was talking to at lunchtime, one of the speakers in the speakers’ lounge said; not knowing what I was going to bring or even that I was going to bring this this afternoon;

Hey Liz I had a vision, I had a vision that the Queen was lying in state, she’d died, and then this man came and stood next to me and he said this: “The mantle of authority and peace that the Queen has carried since the moment she had hands laid on her as Queen, lifted when she stopped breathing.” And things are about to change. This same person had friends who lost a child. And the Queen wrote to them, and she said can I meet you in a hotel? And this isn’t a vision, this is true. And she went to them and she wept with them and she knelt with them and she prayed. And they said the presence of God that came while the Queen was praying with them was immense. You see, she’s carrying something. A mantle of authority, and peace.

 

Do you remember our 3 balls picture? I have to tell you that the authority ball is about to be passed. And this is a Kairos time in our nation. It’s a time when the rule of the occupying force of the land will be challenged. So our castle building needs to increase, to be a presence, and impose the rule of the Kingdom. And that has great benefits to us. The places of authority were also places of provision. When we bring order and peace to our nation and into our nation from heaven we benefit. Our children and our loved ones prosper. But I have to tell you that we have a window of time, a Kairos, to pray.

 

And He is restoring the authority to the church. There’s a unity about this prayer movement. As we come together and pray for our nation at this time. You see the time of the intercessors being isolated is being drawn to a close. They’re being drawn into the castle to bring power and to enhance rule. Because He is restoring the church to one another.

 

And God kept speaking to me about what was happening historically. It’s interesting to me that just after the Normans took over, when the castles were being raised up, the Magna Carta was written. When God was talking to me about this, this fell out of the drawer. And it happens to be a piece of the Magna Carta. And it says this, ‘The English church shall be free, with her rights and liberties unchanged’. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed but recently the freedoms of the church, especially around who they employ, what they believe and what they say, have been in question. Even in minute detail in believers lives. Whether you can wear a cross to work. The rights and liberties of the church were set in place in this nation. But, they need a watch.

And in the Magna Carta I noticed another sentence. ‘No free man shall be imprisoned without a proper trial by jury.’ What’s that? Justice. And that one has very real challenges in a time of terrorism and immigration. And our government needs wisdom. 

What were the castles? A place of watch. And a place of rule, a place where we pray for these things.

 

And then I had a dream, and it terrified me. It’s a dream which tells of a time yet to come. And in the dream I found myself standing on a pavement and there were people close, and then a black car came by. And there was a coffin in the car, and the car was covered in flowers. And I realised this dream looked forward to a time when the Queen’s rule was passing. In the dream it had happened, and we didn’t pray. I was terrified. I have to tell you that the authority ball will be passed. And God is raising up castles all over the land to defend the country. To establish His presence, His rule, and bring order in His Kingdom, to earth.

 

And there will be princes in this nation, men and women that God is raising up into a place of authority in government, in industry, government, education and in the church to take a place with God, Israel. He’s putting a name upon you of rule for this nation. Mordecai said to Esther ‘for such a time as this’. And there’s also a company of believers who are going to take their places on the walls behind those men, and pick up the watch for our nation. Esther prayed and fasted when she was in trouble. The Jews prayed and fasted. And this is what it says in Esther 8 v 11. The Kings granted to the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves. Of course I’m not talking about people. We battle not against people. We battle against principalities and powers of this dark age. 

 

The castles are a place of presence. What does it say in the Psalms? ‘God is present in the company of the righteous’. And you’ve been raised for such a time as this my friends. The ball will be passed. But we have a window.

 

And I have to tell you that application of Words is vital and if the soil doesn’t receive and respond to this Word there will be no fruit. And I’m not going to tell you who they are but the prophet at lunchtime told me what the fruit would be if we don’t pick up this Word and fight with it. But I’m looking here for good soil. Soil that produces a crop. 30% 60% or even 100%. Because our nation depends on it. Let me tell you, are we going to have 30% of our nation left to us, 60% of our nation left to us, or 100%? 

And this is a ‘masa’ Word; it’s an intercession Word. The Bible talks about the watchman of Israel as dogs that didn’t bark, well the watchman of the church are barking. All over this nation. And we’re beginning to hear it. And we need the watch and the prayer to come forth in response to that. Because we will never have such a strong position in this nation again if we don’t. This is vital. We’ve got to hold the land that we’ve been given. Because it’s our watch. So who’s going to carry that ball in prayer? So that the authority ball is passed well and it’s not dropped? If you’re a leader, we’re going to commission you that you go and call people together for prayer.

 

And He also told me that we were to prayer-walk and proclaim and that the authority of God comes where our feet tread. And I want you to understand your authority because He is the King and we are bringing the declaration that He is the King of all the earth. And  that He is the King of the nation for evermore. There will be no break in His Kingship. He has given it to us and we will hold it. The time of the priests of God to rule is arising because His Kingdom is coming. It’s time for the sons. And it’s time to anoint the priests. Leaders who will take up the watch of God. The Bible says that creation is longing for the sons of God to be revealed.”
