The Storm…The Reaping…The Rewards – Thomas Harry

Posted on Wednesday, 18 October, 2023 by Richard Barker

Thomas Harry, senior leader of Mount Zion International Tabernacle in Falkirk, Scotland, writes to me :

“We truly live in a historic time and the time of fulfilment of all things is here along with the expected shakings.

The Lord gave me a word on the reward of the righteous and wicked which is in keeping with a lot you share about the exposure of wickedness over the pond. In addition, it has some clarity on the current Israel situation and in particular how the Lord is using all of this to tests our hearts like Matthew 25 will impact nations.

I do not often feel such an urgency with a word, but the aspect of Israel and all of our hearts being judged has been confirmed by several people, so felt I should send to you in case you can share as I know it is central to God’s earth agenda right now. Link is below and was just published today:”

https://z3news.com/w/urgent-the-time-of-rewards-for-the-righteous-and-the-wicked/

As recommended, first read > https://z3news.com/w/the-calm-before-the-storm/

In view of my long-standing personal interest and inspiration (“This is ALL about to be fulfilled” as told herein) regarding Matthew 13 parable of the wheat and tares, I note Thomas asks in this introductory post (emphases added):

What Type of Storm Is Coming?

Haggai 2:6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.”

“The coming storm is a culmination of all things, spiritual, financial, physical. It will affect all parts of life and nations. It is a clashing of kingdoms. It is the maturity of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13:30 “Let both grow together until the End Time harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers the angels, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Many can see already the various agendas that are being pushed upon the world and this will only continue until all End-Time scripture is fulfilled. As the Tares must be allowed to be revealed with all their demonic anti-God agenda’s and then judged by God. All of this will further shake the church and the true church (the Wheat) will finally arise from the midst of it. However, we can be encouraged as scripture clearly tells us that there will be a global outpouring, harvest and the manifestation of the sons of God that will lead to the church rising in power. So we all have a part to play if we want to be part of God’s plan for our time.”

His ‘urgent’ follow-up on Time of Rewards for the Righteous and the Wicked refers to Israel and I note especially our standing in agreement on my opinion upon the prime purpose behind satanic strategy:

“This is a land conflict that began with God’s covenant promise to Abraham to give him offspring and the Promised Land back in Genesis 12. That covenant He made with Abraham about the land of Israel predates the Mosaic Law and stands today as God does not break covenant. This is why scripture says in the New Testament – “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” – Galatians 3:26. That is the same promise which believers today are a fulfilment of in Christ, exactly as scripture tells us.

Therefore, it is vital believers realize this is a spiritual battle of the highest level as the devil wants Israel wiped out. The same as the enemy sought to abort the destiny of Moses and Jesus and killed all the children in an attempt to stop their arrival and purpose. This is because he wants no nation of Israel to exist for Jesus to return to on the Mount of Olives, which will end the devil’s time of influence on the earth. If believers can grasp that point alone, many will change their perspective forever. Believers would also be greatly impacted if they could only realize that praying for peace in Jerusalem, is actually praying for the Lord’s return, as only the true Prince of Peace will establish peace in Israel, that the entire world is currently burdened with.”

So, A HUGE thank you to the Lord and to Thomas. Also, I note this accords with my asking on Monday Is this 2nd Pivotal Point for humanity versus satan?

From Fear to Victory… -Veronika West

Posted on Monday, 16 October, 2023 by Richard Barker

..”FROM FEAR TO VICTORY: EMBRACING THE POWER OF GOD’ VOICE AND AUTHORITY”..!

…I hear the Spirit say,…”Beloved,…Do not let the sound of War drums deafen your ears to the Sound of My Still Small Voice that is Speaking louder in this hour,…Incline your ears to the frequency of Heaven and let the vibrations of My Glory and Power re-synchronise and re-energise your inner most being,..taking you from a place of Fear and turmoil to a position of Great Victory and Triumph over your enemies…

…Listen!…My Child,..I Call you to Come Up higher,…and to Be Seated in Heavenly Places,..for My desire is to Lift you up and out of the enemies territory,…For I have made you Kings and High Priests that you may Rule and Reign in Power and Authority over the Kingdoms of Darkness,…

…Look!…Open your eyes and See,..For this is a strategic and critical hour for the Nations,..the Bowls are full and the Scales of Justice and Righteousness are now at a divine tipping point,…and though your enemies are already rejoicing in great anticipation of their many Victories,..

…Know this,…if you will lay hold of the Horns of the Altar in unrelenting and steadfast prayers of Repentance and Thanksgiving,..the plans and purposes of the enemy will be thwarted and overturned,..for have I not said,…that the Weapons of your Warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of every stronghold…

…Beloved,..I have invested in you,..All the Power and Authority of Heaven and earth,..and all that is under the earth,…Therefore,…I SAY,..ARISE,..IT’S TIME TO LAY CLAIM,…ENTER IN AND TAKE IT,..THERE IS NO TIME TO WAIT,…

…So Shake off Passivity, Intimidation and Fear,..and do even as your enemies have done,..and boldly begin to anticipate and even declare with a loud voice the Great Victory that is to come,…

…I say,…Put on the Garments of Praise and Celebrate,…Did not the Walls of Jericho fall when they marched as One and when the Sound of the Trumpets were released into the Atmosphere,…

…Did not the Moabites, and Ammonites turn on one another killing each other while the Army of Jehoshaphat went out onto the battlefield dancing, singing and giving Praise to My Name saying,…”Thank the Lord,..because his love continues forever.”…

..and Did Jehoshaphat not gather up the spoils of his enemies for three days after they were annihilated by My hand,…

…and Did I not throw the Egyptian army into confusion,…jamming the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving through the desert sands,…

…Ha!…and Did not the Waters of the Sea then swallow them up and they were seen no more,…

…Oh My Beloved,..For surely I Tell you again that those who Call Upon the Name that is above Every other Name,..shall be answered BY FIRE,…Yes! The Fires of My Glory shall fall and Consume ALL THAT IS DEFILED AND UNHOLY in My sight”…!

🔥🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏

….PS….Friends,…Holy Spirit is reminding us not to let the noise of war drums drown out His still small voice….

…In times of turmoil and fear, it is crucial to incline our ears to the frequency of Heaven, allowing the vibrations of God’s glory and power to re-synchronize and re-energize our inner-most beings…

…Through this, we can transition from a place of fear and turmoil to a position of great Victory and triumph over our enemies….

God calls us in this hour “to come up higher and stay seated in heavenly places”.

…This invitation is not just a metaphorical concept,…NO!….but it is a powerful reality in the spiritual realm. As Kings and High priests, God has given us the authority to rule and reign over the kingdoms of darkness.

…We are not meant to be defeated by our enemies, but rather we are to Arise to exercise power and authority over them….

The Spirit is directing our attention to the critical hour for the Nations. The bowls are full, and the scales of justice and righteousness are at a divine tipping point….

…While our enemies may rejoice in anticipation of their victories, we must remember that our prayers of repentance and thanksgiving have the power to thwart and overturn their plans.

…The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pull down strongholds…

Beloved, God has invested and entrusted in us ALL the power and authority of Heaven and earth….We are called to Arise and claim what is rightfully ours.

…There is no time to wait or be passive. We must shake off intimidation and fear, and boldly anticipate and declare the great victory that is to come.

Like the walls of Jericho that fell when the people marched as one and the sound of the trumpets filled the atmosphere, we too can see strongholds crumble as we put on the garments of praise and celebrate.

…Just as the Moabites and Ammonites turned on each other while Jehoshaphat’s army praised God, our enemies can be thrown into confusion as we worship and give thanks to the Lord.

For those who call upon the name of the Lord, the fires of His glory shall fall and consume all that is defiled and unholy. This is the promise that awaits those who trust in God and stand firm in their authority.

…Today we are reminded of the urgency to listen to God’s voice amidst the chaos and to embrace the power of His voice and authority….In doing so, we can transition from a place of fear to a place of GREAT VICTORY….!!

15 years-old ‘lost’ Kim Clement prophecy of two-term, anointed “No more war!” President

Posted on Wednesday, 20 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

I hope and pray you may be able to watch this brief video as YouTube is blocking it intermittently from this pc (maybe as it’s still Win7 – am today prepping Win11 pc):

‘8 Nov 2022 #houseofdestiny #kimclement #trump Donnè has found a lost prophecy that her father, Kim Clement, gave in 2007 about President Trump having two terms.’

Every part of this prophetic word has yet to come to pass, but history has proven the control by darkness, eg. as in the corruption of the ‘deep-state’ Biden regime.

Also, that one of President Trump’s first term accomplishments was to NOT engage the USA in any wars – and his repeatedly emphasising he will end the Ukraine vs Russia war the Obama-Biden regime have encouraged, according to many impartial historians and independent, investigative journalists and anonymous ‘digital warriors’, a few of whose papers are re-blogged herein (eg Dr Patrick Walsh, Leo Hohmann).

Auto-generated transcript with extensive embedded formatting but minor editorial amendments and emphases mine:

Is anybody excited about this?! That same man, that same man, says the Spirit of God, shall put his feet onto this platform, and God says, they will say how did this take place? Laws shall change. Young men and young women shall have access into the kingdom, and with authority into politics, and with authority into the industries that now have beencontrolled by Darkness because of this man that shall rule for another two terms.

For two terms, God said. Do not fear for the Lord says there will be no unnecessary, unnecessary stuff. But there will be things that men shall question. Fear not for you shall sit in that seat, and suddenly My Spirit shall come upon him and baptize him with a fire and with anointing, says the Spirit of the Lord.”

Come on! Come on! No more war! No no more War! No more war! No more war!! No more war!![Applause] [Music]

[Applause]

Time for war has gone

Time War has gone

Peace shall reign the streets, as they have,

not like before [Music] time for was has gone

Time for peace has come, and I will walk in your streets again,

[Music] and the house they call White

shall receive a man [Music]who stood in your night

and the house that you call White, shall receive a man, a knight.

(Music)

Fought for you, in your night

[Music]

Invisible chains fall off – freed at last from satan!

Posted on Tuesday, 19 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me to...“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”

Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:

Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.

Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.

As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!

I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be?

WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second! What utter freedom! Praise Him!

That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.

How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:

1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?

2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!

‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.

3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!

My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

If you’re unfamiliar with Charles Wesley brother of the renowned evangelical founder of Methodism, John Wesley, read here about his equally famous influence as author of many well-known hymns; eg. Love Divine, all love’s excelling, Hark the herald angels…

Listen to one of the greatest hymns as broadcast some years ago in Songs of Praise, thanks to Fabio Ramsay.:

I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! (Hab 3:1)

To read my testimony in full go to Jesus Freed Me! There, you’ll find an overview of my background, two life-changing divine appointments and how the Lord began to instruct me…all to HIS glory. May you be mightily blessed upon following the links therein…

I remain, your brother in Christ

Bible’s Author shows me ex-New Agers’ testimonies

Posted on Monday, 18 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. [St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:13-14, Amplified Bible.]

To continue my testimony upon my 34th spiritual birthday:

As well as checking out Christians’ claims of hearing God direct and getting astounding personal evidence for that, I wanted to know lots more not only about Him, but also and especially to follow-up on the personally revelatory scriptures about false teachers.

In my great wariness of religious folk I’d assumed none would be able to comprehend my story because they’d be ignorant about those things. Doubtless, none would have been through my kind of bad, meditative ‘trips’ – or so I thought!

But direct help was again at hand from the Bible’s Author…Yet first, there’s one little-suspected aspect of His character that amazingly revealed a very personal thought and thus confirmed He knows all about me. Here’s what had happened many years earlier.: Continue reading →

The Bible’s Author opens it to answer my ‘newbie’ questions

Posted on Sunday, 17 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, ‘For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]

IN CELEBRATING MY SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND ETERNAL LIVES

Lord, help me love everyone,even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love

Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 1989, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask…

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation and my rescue

Posted on Saturday, 16 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)

Quite some time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation thirty-four years ago and being confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE! As mentioned, I fully expected to take my last breath there and then and be dropped down into Hell.

It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me, my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.

That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginary. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents! Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein). Yet it took me 30 years for it to dawn upon me that when that happened I’d been given the first two pieces of an ‘invisible jigsaw’!!!

The First Advent was when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year. The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to begin in the city of Jerusalem.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ that heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus Christ himself, and that His impressive swift descent was a foretaste of His promised return in all His glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass. This gave the scriptures for Sunday services throughout the year together with a picture symbolising the theme for each service. As a boy very keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, telling of events before his Second Advent!

The validation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat six years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed He did for a lady whom I’d never met and was seated at my table confided after lunch that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

It was a photo taken from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ as though standing within the clouds. But the facial features were hazy; exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face!! (I seem to recall hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one shown is published by Bible Probe.)

My legs gave way upon seeing this photo as I couldn’t remain standing but had to drop down into a nearby chair! My companion, Yvonne, said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall. Continue reading →

34 years ago I awoke from a life-saving, life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ!!

Posted on Thursday, 14 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

Upon awaking on 14th September 1989, I was overjoyed to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!

The previous evening I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But the night-time had been spent at my childhood home of 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event. [PS. Number is emphasised in view of God-incidence today! – click to read all about it.]

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened, as copied from original with comments in italics, pls bear with close-type as too much formatting code to revise.:

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
‘A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
‘I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolute lucidity…)
‘The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation.)
‘I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
‘All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
‘Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
‘Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into Hell.
‘Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
‘Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
‘Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
‘As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!’

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by Holy Spirit’s convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace – a totally undeserved favour!

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus, and which I’ve yet to tell, proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with an absolutely sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111).

Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own Kingdom and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none like this one.

The only one remotely similar was that of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, but where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – far, far worse than any nightmare!

I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.

In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!

Moreover, this amazing encounter was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!

So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?

Testimonial continues >

34 years ago tonight I shut the door to the Good News, but in the night nearly died of fright!

Posted on Wednesday, 13 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

‘Twas a fateful day written in my destiny – perhaps in heaven too?

On the evening of 13th September 1989 a young man, barely an adult, came to visit and chat – but I ended up discretely disagreeing!

I didn’t know a false gospel had lured me to the Devil’s Door around the time Peter was born 21 years earlier – thus half my age. However, I was to discover it wasn’t a normal door but a trapdoor about to be sprung – with me standing on it!!

In abject terror I groaned “My number’s up!” because I’d unexpectedly and suddenly come to the end of my life!

What’s more, I was absolutely terrified to realise hell really is below me and that I’d be heading down there – even though I didn’t believe in it! I was wrong – so badly, badly wrong!!

Being anti-Christian had been a grave mistake – but it was now far too late! Yet I’m now able to tell this true story purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

How did I get there you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it? Continue reading →

The Lord is going to get His Church back! (GPS 98) – Chris G Bennett

Posted on Wednesday, 13 September, 2023 by Richard Barker

From Rotherham, Chris G Bennett almost simultaneously, and thus God-incidentally as a ‘global prophecy signal,’ CONFIRMS my thoughts upon being appalled when entering Winchester Cathedral after 11.00am yesterday, Tuesday 12th September.

Tuesday is market day in a nearby local East Hants’ town but Nina was interested in checking out a place where I’d walked whilst she was attending a choral workshop on Abba songs – they sounded splendid! After wandering alongside the River Itchen we went for coffee in the cathedral’s Visitors’ Centre and then strolled by the cathedral and I decided to see what I may be able to see inside.

Inside the main door the nave is roped-off to the right but ahead, down the northern side-aisle is a kiosk to pay for entry (worship times free). Pay to enter our ‘Father’s House’ – supposedly a haven for prayer! Whatever does Jesus think of this? I recalled His outrage and overturning money-changers’ tables in the Jerusalem Temple and looking into the nave I got the distinct feeling of it all being a ‘dead’ place! So a minute after entering I walked out!!

AN hour later, we returned for lunch and after having finished were pleasantly surprised by Nina’s daughter turning up during a school visit. As the two of them queued at the servery I got nudged to turn my phone on to check for any reaction to Verse for Today Phil 4:4 but up popped the above image from Chris Bennett that he’d posted an hour earlier.

It speaks right into and expands upon my impression inside the Cathedral. Here’s His Kingdom Prophecy version:

THE STORMING OF THE CHURCH

Last night, as He has done recently, The LORD came to me with both Words and Vision.

As a friend heard — and I subsequently also heard — “I want My House back!”

It was loud — it was firm — The LORD was obviously not looking for a discussion. Rather, like a General addressing the Troops, He was giving us His Agenda — and expected results!

Then this morning, I heard, this time just by me, “I AM taking My Church by storm!”

This is a slightly unusual thing to hear, so I pressed in for more. Here is what I heard and saw last night and today.

When Jesus cleared the temple, in John 2:13-17, He spoke about His Father’s House being a ‘House of Prayer and a den of thieves’, and He took The House back by storm — using nothing but a His Authority and a whip!

I saw a great shaking coming upon the modern Temple, The Church, and I saw The LORD taking His House back — by storm.

Church, there is a new storm coming — it’s ‘clean up time’ and The LORD is bringing a new ‘whip’ with which He will clear the sin from His House!

No more will ‘commerce’ exist within The Church.

No longer will it be a place of entertainment!

The Church shall be what it was always intended to be — a Holy House — a place where The LORD is revered and respected rather than a place of community and fellowship where God is coincidental to the business model it has devolved into!

Prayer has always been the ‘engine room’ of The Church, but it has always been a ‘weak, two stroke lawn mower engine where a powerful V8 tractor engine is needed’.

Incidentally, this explains much about the condition of The Church in these times!

No longer!

The LORD is planting seeds of Love —The Love of Prayer — back in His Church!

There will be an urgency to start 24/7 prayer rooms where people can come to pray and where, usually, a prayer team is always on duty.

I see daily intercessor groups’ Prayer Meetings being raised in importance, making a place for God’s Glory to manifest, and I see us carrying The Glory from the Prayer Meeting into every Service or Meeting!

Daily church-life will equate to our daily lives — even young families will have or find the time for prayer together.

In short, I see The Church coming to its knees to worship The LORD — in Prayer!

Yes, PRAYER IS WORSHIP, and everyone will join in the soaking/ worship/ listening to God for His “Word for the Day”!

I see His Presence bringing Healing, Prophecy and Encouragement on a scale never before experienced by The Church, as The LORD cleans it, sifts it, and prepares it first for revival, then as His Bride.

It’s Glorious!!!

I Love it, and I, for one, cannot wait to be used as part of The LORD’s end-time Remnant Church.

Oh HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH \o/

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” John 2:13-17

Matthew 13 and Andrew Whalen’s vision of the destroying angels and word on September shaking

Posted on Wednesday, 16 August, 2023 by Richard Barker

Time to remind ourselves of the parable I needed to check in 2008, but upon opening my pocket-sized Bible I inwardly hear “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” (as recounted in my first writing on End-times, The Endgame Is In Play).

Figuratively, the increasing exposures of political corruption can be likened to ripening wrong seed, as in Matthew 13 parable of wheat and tares/darnel quoted below, and I often look back to that personal event and forward to the fulfilling in these days of Jesus’ unequivocal promise to cull unrepentant servants of satan

Thus, it was most encouraging that two days after Nina’s open vision of dancing angels in church on Sunday 6th August, Dr Patricia Show was given the Lord’s word on angels and cited their dealing with false priests in Jerusalem, as recorded in the word given to Ezekiel.

Then on Thursday, Andrew Whalen brought another prophetic promise on the angelic removal of evil, as recounted in the following discussion beginning 6 minutes into this broadcast, and which brings solid teaching on the angelic realm:.

Click here for link to play video:

At 27 minutes Andrew recounts a dream of 17 July in which he teaches about angels and current events and “Then I prophesy by revelation, saying

“It is important for the Church to understand that in this new era of time The Lord is releasing the angels of antiquity. They will be engaging with the prayers of the saints to work with believers. The names of the two primary angels of antiquity being activated are ‘Destroyer’ and…” but then I wake up!”

(NOT the same as the demonic devourer I encountered decades ago during a dream as a New Ager- my testimony refers.)

Andrew asks (at 30:50) “Why did you give me only one name?” and sensed Holy Spirit saying it’s because,

“This is the primary mission of the angels I’m releasing right now, to destroy the works of the devil!”

Psalm 78:49 puts it in context, remembering what God did for His people in Egypt:

He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them.

“WHoaa, we haven’t begun to see anything yet!!

Therefore, let’s check what Jesus is recorded as saying about such decisive action:

MATTHEW 13 (Amplified, courtesy BibleGateway.com, quotation marks inserted)

²⁴Another parable He set forth before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. ²⁶So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also.²⁷And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it? ²⁸He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out?²⁹But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it.³⁰Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.”

³⁶Then He left the throngs and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the field. ³⁷He answered, “He Who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

³⁸The field is the world, and the good seed means the children of the kingdom; the darnel is the children of the evil one,

³⁹And the enemy who sowed it is the devil. The harvest is the close and consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels.

⁴⁰Just as the darnel (weeds resembling wheat) is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the close of the age.

⁴¹The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offence [^[^m^]persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly,

⁴²And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.

⁴³Then will the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears [to hear] be listening, and let him ^[ⁿ^]consider and perceive and understand by hearing.”

“Soon and very soon…” open vision of rejoicing angels filling a church

Posted on Saturday, 12 August, 2023 by Richard Barker

Last Sunday right at the very start of this worship song, which was new to us, my dear Nina was strongly touched by Holy Spirit – wearing a blue cardigan on the left of the screen she disappears out of sight as she heavily drops back into her seat…(and of course, it runs from 7:22 minutes!)..then Richard Lloyd begins his message about the “acts of the Holy Spirit… think of a surprise gift…”!

Knowing that’s how Holy Spirit touches her, I see her eyes well up in tears and she tries whispering about watching dancing angels celebrating Jesus’ soon coming. So once again Nina gets a ‘knowing’ in her spirit that it is indeed very close!

As with the first move of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, she feels quite giddy and ‘drunk’ upon walking to the leader to share what’s happening. On returning to her seat then the power surges begin and she continues watching the invisible heavenly celebration through the whole service. Hence, my accompanying her when she’s invited to share the vision at the close of the service (at 55:45 mins).

SO it really IS important to note these very distinct insights from Holy Spirit!

PS. (14.8)
In case you miss the accompanying comments below, in needing to be a brief as it was Saturday and thinking it implicit, in writing this post I didn’t mention my text is what Nina told the congregation. Personal testimonies on live transmissions get blocked in case anyone may object on privacy grounds – but Nina is keen to share this .

Upon recounting it y’day to our ministry leader she got Holy Spirit power surges again!

Jesus says, “My words will never pass away” – Therefore, pray His way!

Posted on Friday, 21 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

Building on my musings upon the eternal permanence of what Jesus continues to say, let’s now look at what He’s led me to focus upon. His words have application and consequences for everybody, not just those who believe in Him – so we again consider the ‘Therefore’…

First, note ‘‘The Lord’s Prayer’ is a misnomer because it’s the template, or blueprint, He gave His first disciples: a ‘How To Pray 101.’ Thus, it’s ‘The Believers’ Prayer’, or as Catholics say, “The Our Father”. Continue reading →

A prophetic word on “My Church of England” per Ezekiel 16 – Revd Christopher Wickland

Posted on Wednesday, 19 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

Earlier today a notification prompted me to check Christopher Wickland’s Facebook in view of comments arising on the following prophetic word posted yesterday. Although a sad, salutary admonishment, it serves as a ‘coincidental’ confirmation of the second part of my postings on Jesus’ words will never pass away, and which covers the Anglican General Synod under the heading ‘Therefore ditch what He does NOT says!’ (Yet again ‘coincidentally’, my birthday number 22 suggests it’s timely.)

OH MY CHURCH OF ENGLAND (Prophetic Word)

Based on Ezekiel chapter 16

Church of England, I remember the day you were born. You were born from blood, heartache and treachery. You were despised by many at your birth, even in this green and pleasant land. Yet I saw you in your infancy, in your nativity and I took compassion upon you. And when I passed by you and saw you in your blood of birth I said, “Live! Yes I said to you in your blood, “Live!”

I caused you to multiply and grow in strength, in honour and dignity. You grew in stature before Me, you became beautiful and regal in this land. A beautiful Amethyst set in green clover. You were Mine and I was yours. Through you this land was blessed, this land was safe, I was pleased to call you My church. You excelled in your beauty and became the honour of kings, queens and the mighty.

I clothed you with embroidered work and dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I decked you with ornaments and I put bracelets upon your hands and a chain upon your neck. I gave to you the privilege of anointing kings and queens. I bequeathed to you great honour, riches and prestige.

However, in time you trusted in your own beauty and strength. You became proud and pompous and slowly but surely you turned your back on Me. You played the harlot because of your renown. You took the gold, the silver and the jewels I gave you and made for yourself images of men and did commit harlotry. You have set my oil, incense, flesh and blood before a profane altar. You have abandoned Me in pursuit of your own glory instead of promoting Mine.

I have heard your profane prayers, I have seen your abominations and wickedness. You have forsaken Me in your pursuit to hunt down power, influence and lovers. I have to call you what you are, you have become a harlot before Me.

However, there are many who have not defiled and soiled their garments within you, there are many who grieve over you. There are many who have cried, travailed and prayed to Me on your behalf. To those who have remained faithful to Me I say this, “Because of you and your intercessions, I will relent from a full chastisement to the Church of England.” You will see some painful days coming as My chastisement is worked out. I will half her strength and greatly humble her. She will lose her position of honour for a season.

I will leave a remnant, those who love Me, who will not leave her but endure her pains as their own. I will leave her as a stump, but in time she will return to Me and fresh branches will grow and she will again increase in might. I will then turn to her and restore her and will love her again and be pleased to call her My church.

For thus says Adonai, the LORD, I shall deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath you took before Me. Nevertheless I shall remember the oath sworn by those previous and I will remember you and look kindly upon you as I did at your nativity. I will remain faithful to those who have remained faithful to Me.

Finally to My faithful, be strong, be courageous and endure the chastisement, set your faces like flint and look for the joy set before you. You will see the harlot become true again and I promise to restore her and be pleased to call her My own in the days ahead.

Chris Wickland. 18/07/23

RB Footnotes:

A cleric reminds Christopher of Jesus’ instruction to avoid judging and thus first remove the plank from one’s eye (Matt 7). I note “We are to correct our brethren who fall into apostasy, are we not?” (Am not one for citing verses but recall ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’ – 2 Tim 3:16 – and this prophecy is based upon Ezekiel 16, ‘Jerusalem as an Adulterous Wife’; NIV)
Personally, although brought up in Catholic church my heart is for ALL churches to follow our Lord Jesus closely and we attended an Anglican parish church presided over by a couple of Spirit-led ministers. However, when Archbishop Welby failed to stand upon scripture some years ago, thereby allowing demonic access-rights, we moved to a Bible-based church. Not long afterwards three couples followed us.

PostScript to ‘….Therefore, ditch what He does NOT teach!!’

Posted on Wednesday, 19 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

My reference to others’ opinions in the previous part, as putting themselves in spiritual danger, is not to cause offence; but I’m very concerned over believers failing to benefit personally from Jesus’ torturous death. I can attest to the fact of having almost died and been dropped into hell as an unsaved soul upon His visiting me in 1989, as told in this post:

On a trapdoor into Hell – Jesus swoops to the rescue!

Moreover, that was an astonishing holy contrast with what scared the wits out of me years earlier when confronted by the gigantic demonic devourer!

A letter to the editor of the Telegraph from VB published last Saturday supports my previous post on the fatherhood of God and arrives at the correct conclusion:

Thank you VB for it is well-worth noting and remembering your personal testimony.

Jesus says, “My words will never pass away!” – Therefore, ditch what He does NOT teach!!

Posted on Monday, 17 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

Therefore, in other words, ditch demonic doctrines sown in Jesus’ harvest field or else perish by being culled and burned, just as He promises in Matthew 13 parable on wheat and tares, and as in the adage “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” (Initially, this post’s title referred to the contrast with current ‘theological’ news, as below.)

As we further consider the implication of Jesus words never passing away, please bear with my brevity on this unsavoury aspect but FIRST, FOCUS ON FATHER and know that, had the Church of England taken on board what Bishop David Pytches of St Andrews Chorleywood brought home of the Toronto Blessing in the mid-1990’s (I was visiting when he reported upon his return), then it wouldn’t have got into such an unsafe and unsound doctrinal mess!

The major internationally recognised, theological outcome of that Outpouring in Canada was that of the Father-heart of God, which accords with it being the vital foundation in prayer ministry for healing and deliverance as taught, for example, by Ellel Ministries.

“The books are being opened” – come, feast on Father

By Revd William Smith

The day I was moved by Matthew 24:35 on Jesus’ words, this year’s Anglican General Synod (sin-nod) was convened and, despite the Archbishop of York’s call for unity in his President’s Address based upon The Lord’s Prayer, disquieting news soon spread:

Further news emerged:

NOW we have this opinion from the lead lay-person encouraging the CoE’s divergence from Jesus’ teachings, as read some years ago in the House of Bishops papers (wherein holy writ gets distorted),, and which is published in today’s Telegraph – so assess for yourself:

Does this person and similar folk not recognise it’s far safer to stand up for our Saviour than stand in for the serpent that was kicked out of heaven and will eventually be cast into the lake of fire?

NB. I’m not being offensive but very concerned over self-styled believers not benefitting from Jesus’ torturous death for them personally. I can attest to the fact of having almost died and dropped into hell as an unsaved soul.

CHURCH & POLITICS

Also, consider what drivel this UTTER LACK of authoritative teaching from Anglican leaders is now responsible for:

HERE’s an example of how teaching these falsehoods seriously affects the governing of this once Christian nation. Note: being politically ‘conservative’ I will now no longer vote for a party that does this:

We must pray for and support our brother as we watch the deserved demise of that once principally Christian political party. Also that Holy Spirit convicts them of their deep sinfulness and bring true repentance – make each an offer about personal future post-mortem status they can’t refuse!

Jesus says, “My words will never pass away!” – Therefore…

Posted on Saturday, 15 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

Since reading this verse early Thursday morning 6th April, I’ve been meditating upon it and especially how it puts current and future events into perspective. (Subsequent daily verses then formed a topical thread, as on my Facebook.)

Click to read the full chapter, also known as ‘The Olivet Discourse’ wherein Jesus tells His disciples about End-times and specifically prophesies the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, which happened about 40 years later. He foretells of false teachers and false prophets and great ‘falling away’ or full-blown apostasy, yet alongside full global evangelism, as Signs of the Times and End of the Age, with it’s Great Tribulation and His Return. The chapter continues from verses 32 to 37 and beyond

“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it [He] is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

Thus, verse 35 alludes to a possible pre-Genesis and beyond Revelation period of non-existence of the earth, humanity, creatures, plants and physical objects, as well as the sun, moon, planets, asteroids, stars, galaxies and black holes, plus the entire electro-magnetic spectrum, physical forces and sub-atomic particles!

In other words, it would be an universal void with no sentient beings!!

My contemplation can imagine a situation where everything and everyone vanishes: all that exists IS ONLY ALL the words Jesus ever speaks, like R~E~D L~E~T~T~E~R~S F~L~O~A~T~I~N~G on an I_M_M_E_N_S_E invisible scroll.

Moreover, we know that before and right ‘In the Beginning’ Jesus really IS THE WORD which God spoke out to create the heavens and the earth that we live upon. His close disciple John perceived this truly awesome spiritual reality:

‘In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God. ³All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ⁴In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend [overcome] it.’

Furthermore, readers may recall how that first verse sits geometrically as the base of a triangle the apex of which is the opening verse of Genesis:

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ²The earth was without form, and void; and darkness on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.’

For details click title of this post:

Amazing geometrical symmetry of Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 (cont’d)

AND we must not forget that in his first letter John describes what it was really like to know that awesome superhuman-being personally,

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning The Word of life..”

Consequently, John must not have been at all surprised during his deep experience of the ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants,’ to hear that ‘The Testimony (ie. ‘WORD’) of Jesus is The Spirit of Prophecy’!!

Thus, this puts all else – especially sin and all demonic beings and works such as rebellion against the written Word – into the perspective of non-existence. Or not quite, because Jesus doesn’t refer to the spirit-realm and Hell, which we expect to continue, or else The Holy Trinity would not be THE eternal divinity.

Also, as the Word exists and will never perish then Jesus’ Presence and speech is always in the present tense. So by His statement in Matthew, we can regard all Jesus’ recorded and unrecorded words (John 21:25) as being said not just in the past, BUT ALWAYS in the ‘here and now’.

Hence my thinking of and describing Jesus as “Always Now”!

In view of my interest in Time and science it’s salutary to contemplate it all. I encourage you to consider it, but note that not only was this a visual theological exercise over that weekend but also it gives an authoritative scriptural answer to the issues of our day, as exemplified by closure of accounts over transgenderism and how the Anglican General Synod that had just convened handles that topic.

IN mulling over all that and more, I had in mind to blog these thoughts as best I can. Furthermore, soon after awaking on Thursday, the 110th anniversary of my father’s birth, I ask how to connect those events succinctly within the post’s title along with Matthew 24:35. Next, simply using ‘therefore’ dropped into mind.

Minutes later the Lord CONFIRMS IT upon my seeing the first word in the Verse of the Day and upon which I shared the impact of this latest ‘God-incidence’:

[More prophecy-related news on my Telegram channel]

So thank and praise the Lord. In another post we’ll consider what this post title’s ‘Therefore’ is there for….

AND it’s repeated in this morning’s…

The Lion and the Eagles – Chris G Bennett

Posted on Thursday, 13 July, 2023 by Richard Barker

PREAMBLE

The above Facebook screenshot isn’t shown because it’s yet another ‘coincidental’ appearance of my birthday number, but to introduce a ‘BOBOB’ – Background of Bit of Bother. On Tuesday morning prolific prophet Chris Bennett found he was blocked out of Facebook and unable to post anything. Linda sought help from a couple of friends who, like her, could publish his new items on their timeline. Therefore, Chris began moving over to Telegram under the moniker of ‘Ancient Disciple’ and wrote the above update which she posted, and over which I chuckled in view of 22!!

Soon to follow, Chris brought another word relating to this blog’s strap-line, ‘Looking for signs of Jesus’ return’:

THE LION AND THE EAGLES – Chris G Bennett

I’m seeing a Lion sitting next to an Eagle

A large ‘crowd’ of Eagles sit behind them and one of the crowd separated and joined the Lion.

The Lion was looking this way and that, giving the appearance of scanning what laid before him.

However, I knew this, I don’t know, yet I knew that I knew that this was Jesus with the ‘two witnesses’ of Revelation 11!

The company of prophets was gathered behind them, watching and waiting expectantly.

I sat and watched this quiet scene unfold gently before my eyes. Jesus would look, perhaps intently, I couldn’t quite discern that, but as He looked, so the two witnesses turned to look in the same direction apparently seeing the same things.

Then a further revelation came by The Spirit. They were strategising — Jesus explaining, their roles in Revelation 11, and then the woes that followed.

In my mind, I thought, “Really? Surely that’s a way off still?”

Then The LORD spoke to me, firmly, “How long is not your concern, although it’s not as far off as most people think!

How many times have I told you to tell My People that I AM coming SOON?

Don’t stop! — keep telling them! Keep warning them!

Even so, some will still ignore the Warning and be left behind!”

Jesus is coming soon, sooner than you think!

Prepare for a coming war – Christopher Wickland

Posted on Thursday, 29 June, 2023 by Richard Barker

NB: As with all prophetic words this is to be weighed and prayed about as well as tested. A valuable ensuing discussion may be found on Christopher’s Facebook:

Another prophetic word today.

WAR IS COMING

1 Samuel 14:6. ‘Jonathan said to his armour bearer, “Come on, let’s go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised people. Maybe ADONAI will do something for us, since ADONAI can rescue with a few people as easily as with many.’

“The days of Saul have been numbered. The season of Saul always starts well but sometimes goes astray. To be a man or woman who loves Me is not enough to be one who leads My people. Many Pastors in this day have been Sauls. Men and women who love Me, yet lean on their own understanding. Saul is great at strategy and war-craft, but his emphasis is always on his own strength and his own abilities, he doesn’t think to look to Me for wisdom, counsel and might. Such things would be considered foolish to Saul. Saul is one who fears man and his opinions. He capitulates to the pressures of man instead of following in My ways.

1 Samuel 13:8-9. ‘Saul waited seven days, as Samuel had instructed; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal; so the army began to drift away from him. Saul said, “bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings,” and he offered the burnt offering.’

When the pressure is on, Saul will justify his ends, even when it violates my word, written or prophetic.

1 Samuel 13:13-14. ‘“You did a foolish thing. You didn’t observe the commandment of ADONAI, which He gave you. If you had, ADONAI would have set up your kingship over Israel forever. But as it is, your kingship will not be established. ADONAI has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and ADONAI has appointed him to be prince over His people, because you did not observe what ADONAI ordered you to do.’

I am taking away the kingdom from My Sauls and giving it to My Jonathans and the Davids. I have seen how over the last thirty years many Sauls have hounded and tried to put down the Jonathans and the Davids. You have sought them out and oppressed and suppressed them. Because like Saul, you saw something in them which you knew you lacked. You considered them to be dangerous for you.

Yes some of them were young, immature and underdeveloped in maturity. Yes many of them were rough around the edges. But Saul, you were to bless them, and train them up. You were supposed to teach them your strengths and abilities that it may help them overcome their shortcomings. In fairness some Sauls have done the right thing and trained and equipped my Davids.

A war is coming, the likes never seen before in modern days. The enemy will be considered a giant to many, too strong and too powerful to topple. The might of Saul will simply not prevail in these days. Only those with the spirit of Caleb, Joshua, Jonathan, David, Esther and Deborah will prevail in the days ahead.

For it is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit. (Zechariah 4:6). In the days ahead I will pour out My Spirit for My people to do exploits. Some shall run through a troop, leap over a wall or slay the Goliaths of the day. But the ways of Saul will simply not work or suffice in those days.

I need My people to be daring, to be bold, to expect Me to move as they run and charge the enemy as David did to Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:48)

These are the days of Elijah. These are the days of mighty prophets and great leaders to arise. My church needs shepherds and My church requires mighty men and women who are valiant in the realms of faith and prayer to lead My people to battle.

It is time to take the promised land. It is time to take the land for Me and reinstate My statutes and ways over this nation again as it once was. This battle will be long and it will be arduous, it will take a generation to reinstate that which was lost.

This nation needs to be ready and come back to how she once was if she is to be ready for the last days and face off the rise of the antichrist and his beastly worker of miracles. The sands of time are slipping away, but as the top of the hour-glass runs out, the bottom of the hour-glass is the increase of My glory and power over My people.

Some of My Jonathans and Davids are old men and women now, but I say to you, Be like Caleb! Gird your sword on your thigh and go to war, fight and be strong in the power of My might, not your own. (Ephesians 6:10). Your age is irrelevant for I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh including children, young people, middle- aged and the elderly.

In your weakness you are strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). I command you not to disqualify yourselves. David was a youth when he slew Goliath and Caleb was an old man when he fought the enemies of Israel. Your age and experience is nothing to Me. I require you to have a humble and contrite heart, (Psalm 51:17) I require you to simply say, “Here I am. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)

Finally I say to My Sauls, “You need to prepare the Jonathans and Davids and be prepared to hand the keys over to them.”

If you do this I will exceedingly reward you with honour and blessings. My Sauls, many of you have done well and run a good race, but you need to know that everything is about to change. You need to be brave and strong and when I instruct you, hand over the keys.

A new darkness is coming, a new enemy from the pit is being released, the old ways will no longer work or suffice. Only the warriors of faith will prevail against the unclean spirits that are coming. I love you My church, I love you all dearly. It’s time to begin, it’s time to dust off your swords, oil your shields, and put on the armour of God. It’s time to go to war!”

Christopher Wickland 27/06/23

DISCUSSION EXTRACTS:

Diana C: I assume you mean actual war, rather than spiritual warfare? Or maybe both?

Chris W: Diana C honestly I don’t know. I am re reading what I believe God gave me today and I have to be honest, I only kind of understand in part what this message is about.

Fiona Y: Diana C – war is more than spiritual, artillery etc; it can be financial, psychological, biological, tyrannical, transhuman etc etc…

Fiona Y: Karen C – we’re already in a war and it’s progressively getting worse. Christopher Wickland is correct. The darkness is creeping in and Jesus is turning us into living lights. Christopher is often given the same prophetic insights as me – that is because we are pilot prophets or Waymakers – specifically called to warn, prepare, make way, declare God’s provision and intercede. Praise God we are all called to different parts of the puzzle!!!
