Set Your Face As Flint! – Chris G Bennett

ACE confirmation and encouragement from Chris Bennett this morning after this week’s correspondence over one of many leaders’ cynicism about Donald Trump. After I’d sent a link to the video of his confessing Christ in public, that leader ‘encouraged’ me “to look carefully at the fruit from Mr Trump (because) I struggle to see the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom in what I have seen over the years.”  I replied with a briefing on my watching the White House over this decade and a few brief points about Trump’s Kingdom mission to reverse the damage done by the previous, ungodly administration (eg see previous). Consequently, it did drop into mind that maybe the Lord’s using me to test and teach for His purposes?

SET YOUR FACE AS FLINT

Here’s a Word for all the prophets out there.

The Lord took me to the word ‘flint’ this morning. I had heard it the previous Sunday, and for some reason it had stuck in my memory and just wouldn’t go away. So I looked it up and this is what the Word says :-

“Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted. Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.” Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse.”
Ezekiel 3:4-11

The Lord then had me exchange the words ‘house of Israel’ for ‘UK Church’!He then showed me a castellated ruin, rather like one of the monasteries which were destroyed when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in the mid-1500’s. “This is the state of much of My Church today – desperately clinging on to whatever is left of their heritage, but failing at almost every turn, crumbling away every day! They spurn my prophets. They won’t even listen to them – but you, son of man, shall be my spokesperson to them.”

You may well protest, “But Lord, I have no platform, I have no real reputation. Why will they listen to me?” I heard the Lord chuckle – “Did you not read what I just showed you? Did you not read about being like flint? Did you not see where they may hear and they may refuse to listen? Have you not said to people that your job is to deliver my words – how they are received is none of your business?”

The Lord then showed me this verse – “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

“I am using you as a hammer to break their refusal to hear prophets. The strength and flint-like countenance will serve you well and will demonstrate my seriousness to a hard-hearted people. As I said to Jeremiah, “Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them. For behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land— Against the kings of Judah, Against its princes, Against its priests, And against the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I AM with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.” (Jeremiah 1:17-19)” says the Lord!!Louise Key also encouragingly responds on Facebook as follows:  I heard Him say “All the church has ever known and been accustomed to, I am replacing with ALL I HAVE EVER KNOWN”  
That’s His Kingdom right???
I know I am far from perfect and do not rate myself more highly than anyone else but if your role is a Watchman and a Spokesman, the Lord overshadows you as you go like a child in willing obedience. When you know you’ve heard, most often you need to speak.
Keep going my fellow Watchman; HE IS COMING SOON!!

President Trump gives glory to Jesus Christ in public!

Click here to read report AND watch video in The Independent (UK)

The video gives Donald Trump’s opening shot to an exceptional speech and declaration from any world leader as he points heavenward saying,

“But you know…we still need help from the Boss! We need help from the Boss – that’s what I think – we need help (…applause…) Yeah, we need help….Now they’ll criticise me for saying that: ‘How dare he say that! How dare he say that!’ Nah, I’ll say it…I’ll say it!

“Somebody said to me the other day, ‘You’re the most famous person in the world by far’. I said ‘No I’m not, no I’m not!’ they said, ‘Yes you are’; I said ‘No!’; they said, ‘Who’s more famous?’ I said, ‘Jesus Christ!’ (…applause…) I’m not taking any chances…Hey, I’m NOT having any argument – Jesus Christ…I guarantee…”

This marvellous declaration brings Jesus’ own words to mind, and upon checking them the Lord drew my attention to the import of their context within Matthew 10:

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [h]hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a [i]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men

32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”

Christ Brings Division

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set…” [A personally poignant paragraph follows that the Lord gave me in answer to what was happening in mid-90’s.]

Version in Luke 12 makes this acknowledgement even wider:
8 “Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God. 10 “And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.”

PS. 28 Oct: This post is an astonishing ‘God-incidental’ demonstration of Deuteronomy 19:15 (a matter is established by two or three witnesses) because of its almost simultaneous publication in the afternoon of Monday 20th October with one from Veronika West. That morning I’d checked the specific scripture covering this video. It was strongly impressed upon me to quote it in context AND to use both Gospel variants: ie. add what Jesus says about ‘fear of God,’ as well as ‘before the angels’, in honouring those who confess Him.

Hence, my astonishment to discover (after posting this) Veronika had just posted Angel Armies on Assignment in America – AND it closes with ‘…the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord…’ !!!

NEWSFLASH update: prophecies coming to pass in America 5 (F/P #25.4 cont’d) – Whistleblowers cont’d

NB. the final point shown herein (click image to read in full)

Prophecies coming to pass in America 5 (F/P #25.4 cont’d) – Whistleblowers, where’ve they come from?

In response to posting 4 on CIA whistleblower, in which the reporter’s opinion “traitors should hang on the gallows they’ve set for others” refers to scripture on the Jews’ arch-enemy Haman, also alludes to a Veronika West prophecy. Our prophet-seer writes last night (underlining mine):

‘AMAZING!! Interestingly the Lord spoke to me specifically about “WHISTLE BLOWERS” …!! Read the last paragraph of the prophetic word!!’ [as below]

At His Kingdom prophecy she expands as follows:

‘America: “Whistle blowers will rise that cannot be silenced!”

‘America: ”You will know him as ‘Emmanuel’… Fear not! For God is with you…”

‘This evening I was reminded of a powerful word I shared a few months ago about President Trump — “The restoration of The Rose Garden” and “Whistle Blowers who will rise that cannot be silenced”…’

See HKP’s: AMERICA: THE RESTORATION OF ‘ONE NATION UNDER GOD’

‘SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THE WORD OF THE LORD…AMERICA WATCH!! FOR A TIME OF BLOOMING HAS COME…; “I heard the Spirit say,

“I’M GOING TO MEET HIM IN THE ROSE GARDEN”..! AMERICA I hear the Spirit say,
“WATCH!! For My People in this Nation shall KNOW ME AS “EMMANUEL”…FOR I AM WITH THEM…For I shall NOT LEAVE THEM NOR FORSAKE THEM…But I shall SHOW MYSELF MIGHTY ON THEIR BEHALF IN THE DAYS AHEAD AND THAT WHICH THE ENEMY SOUGHT TO HIDE AND CONCEAL UNDER THE COVERS OF DARKNESS, I SHALL FULLY EXPOSE AND BRING INTO THE LIGHT, HA!! FOR EVEN NOW MY SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS MOVING UPON THE HEARTS OF MEN AND MANY WILL SAY, ‘Where have all these whistleblowers come from?..How can they be silenced?’
“…BUT I SAY, NO!! FOR THEY SHALL NO LONGER BE SILENCED, FOR AS THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS I SHALL FILL THEM WITH THE WINDS OF MY RESURRECTION POWER…SO WATCH AND LISTEN!! FOR AT THE SOUND OF MY MIGHTY ROAR THIS SLEEPING GIANT, THIS LAZARUS NATION SHALL COME FORTH FROM THE DARKNESS OF THE TOMB AND IT SHALL ARISE AND ADVANCE IN NEW AND GREATER LIFE”..!

That word was published on 28 July 2020, the opening paragraphs of which read as follows (note well);

‘SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THE WORD OF THE LORD…AMERICA WATCH!! FOR A TIME OF BLOOMING HAS COME…; “I heard the Spirit say, “I’M GOING TO MEET HIM IN THE ROSE GARDEN”..!

‘For those of you who follow me on Facebook you will recall a few weeks ago [27 June] I shared a powerful and poignant dream I had about the “PRESIDENT TRUMP, A DIVINE VISITATION AND THE RESTORATION OF THE ROSE GARDEN” (click link – RB: Prophecies Coming to Pass in America 1 refers);

‘I believe this dream speaks of A DIVINE VISITATION OF GOD’S GLORY AND THE RESTORATION OF…”ONE NATION UNDER GOD”..!

‘Please see this News Release which talks about the First Lady announcing plans to RESTORE AND ENHANCE THE ROSE GARDEN…

‘I submit to you that this announcement is a SIGN of the both the GOVERNMENTAL AND REDEMPTIVE HAND OF GOD MOVING ON BEHALF OF THIS NATION..’

A prophetic dream of President Trump’s wrestling match: part 2 – Veronika West

Readers please read Part 1 before the following, both of which Veronika posted on Ignite Ireland Ministry last Friday, 2nd October. I enquired how her publishing ties in with the overnight Thursday-Friday news of the President and First Lady’s health, and Veronika replies:

“There were two parts to the dream. The dream I shared part 1 and kept back part 2 . I felt that part 2 was not yet to be released. Amazing however, I woke the morning of Trump’s announcement, which had come late the night before [Thurs 1st Oct], which I had not seen, and felt that part 2 was to be posted. When I read news of his Covid result I was immediately arrested with the timing and indeed the content. God’s timing is amazing. Part 2 I believe was held back for that moment.”

Therefore, Veronika’s Facebook reads as follows:

Second Part…Date Received….25th September 2020;

“FOR HE SHALL BE BENT BUT NOT BROKEN, BOWED DOWN BUT NOT DESTROYED”..!
(To be shared in the day’s ahead)

His Kingdom Prophecy version:

TRUMP WILL WIN — BUT WILL WALK WITH A LIMP – Part 2

In this part of the dream, when I saw President Trump fall to his knees in the midst of the fierce wrestling match.

I was shown in that moment, that there was a not only a fight, a wrestling for the blessing over a nation, but there was a fight and a wrestling for the President’s own life and his God-given Destiny.

I was shown in that moment that a battle of life and death was raging over the nation and the president.

Suddenly I was shown Job.  Then I was shown The Courts of Heaven and I saw Satan ask for permission to touch Trump’s life and his family.

I heard the voice of the accuser asking for the legal right to touch Trump’s life.  I saw high ranking demons standing with Satan and they were raising their hands, asking to be let loose upon the land.

As I saw the accuser and his cohorts standing in the courts, suddenly I was shown a set of Scales.  As I looked at The Scales, I saw two Golden Bowls either end, and the Golden Bowls of The Scales were moving.

I heard these words, “The nations are at a tipping point…”

Then I watched and listened as the enemy began to shout out accusation after accusation against the Church in America, and he shouted out that because of the division., the disunity, the lukewarmness and the complacency of The Church, he should be given permission to bring more destruction upon the land and against President Trump and his family.

As I stood listening in The Courtroom of Heaven to the accuser as he shouted out for permission to touch the President and the Land with death and destruction, I kept seeing the Golden Bowls of The Scales moving back and forth.

But then suddenly, I heard the sound of weeping and wailing and I saw a woman appear in the Courtroom.  As I looked at her, she had a beautiful Crown upon her head, but she was dressed in sackcloth, and I watched as she knelt down before The Judge of Heaven and she began to cry out in repentance.

She began to cry out for “Mercy, mercy, mercy….” and I listened as she began to petition The Court of Heaven on behalf of the President and the Land.  I heard her cry out for a blessing to be poured out upon the President and upon the Land.

As I watched and listened, and as her weeping went up before The Judge, and her desperate cries filled the Court, suddenly a beautiful fragrance filled the atmosphere and the high ranking demons began to shriek and scatter and the accuser began to step back from the place where he was standing.

Then suddenly my eyes were drawn back to The Scales and the two Golden Bowls, and I saw one of the Bowls begin to tip over and the accuser began to shout out with a loud voice, ”Judgement!  Judgement!”

Then I heard the woman in sackcloth cry out, “Justice, justice, justice!”  and as the sound of her cries for justice filled The Court, the voice of the accuser calling for judgement was drowned out.

Suddenly the dream shifted, and again I saw President Trump on his knees in the midst of a great battle, and then I saw the weeping woman run towards the President and she knelt down beside him.

In that moment I knew by revelation I was seeing The Ekklesia (the bride of Christ) kneeling beside him and together, I listened as they both cried out with a loud voice for Justice and Mercy.

Then I heard these Words, “We will not let you go unless you bless us and bless this nation!”

In that moment I heard these Words, ”He will be bent but not broken.  He will be bowed down, but not destroyed!”

As those words echoed in the realm of The Spirit, suddenly I saw President Trump and the Ekklesia arise together and then I heard these Words, “And he shall come face to face with God and his life will be spared!”

America…. Watch and pray!

For in the days ahead, there will be a moment when President Trump will find himself upon his knees.  He will need the intervention of a praying Bride who will take her place beside him, as he battles not only for the destiny of a nation that hangs in the balance, but he will battle for his own life.

But listen!  The accuser is standing before The Courts and he is looking to tip the Bowls of Judgement, because The Church has been asleep on her watch.

She has become weak through complacency and passivity.  She has become impotent and powerless through compromise and deception.

But listen!  If the true Ekklesia, the remnant, will arise in her true identity, and if she will put on The Sackcloth of Repentance and come humbly before The Courts on behalf of the Land and President Trump, and if she will cry out for Mercy over judgement, I believe The Scales will tip in favour of Divine Justice and Restoration.

I believe the voice of the accuser will be drowned out and the enemies of God will be scattered.

Listen and take heed.  President Trump is in the midst of a battle for his own life and destiny, and for the life and destiny of a nation.

There is a battle of life and death that is unfolding and The Ekklesia — The Church — must take her place on her knees in the days ahead.

Listen!  Watch and pray — for the enemy seeks permission to touch the life of Trump.  But if The Ekklesia stands in the gap, Victory, Triumph and Blessing will be your portion.

Therefore, The Remnant must arise and take her place in the midst of the battle that is raging….

I hear these Words again, “Fear not!  For he shall be bent but not broken, bowed down but not destroyed!”

Blessings to you all.

Prophecies coming to pass in America 1 (F/P #128) – Trump in Rose Garden for SCOTUS Nomination

WE approach 200 examples of prophecies that are moving towards fulfillment, or have been logged as coming to pass in this blog’s Prophecies Fulfilled. In view of the amount of material and time constraints, I’d ask your forbearance with my minimal text and use of hyperlinks for you to read fuller accounts elsewhere.

CENTRAL WASHINGTON D.C.

Last Saturday 26th September was a momentous day in American history – we pray it was turning-point back towards living by Judeo-Christian principles and governing with righteousness and justice. Here’s Monday’s newsfeed of from Bill Koenig reporting the massively attended day of prayer and repentance for not only for the USA but also for the whole world, or ‘solemn assembly’ of The Return. It was convened by Jonathan Cahn and prominent advisors and faith leaders (eg. Revd John Kilpatrick and Anne-Graham Lotz, as known to me).

WHITE HOUSE, ROSE GARDEN

At an official presentation in the Rose Garden of the White House President Trump announced Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is his nominee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (click image for details/video)

Upon watching this event over in Northern Ireland, Veronika West realised a recent prophetic word she’d been given was being fullfilled, and thus reports on Facebook –Note well what she heard from Holy Spirit:

Read the original dated 27 June 2020 of that extensive word on Veronika’s dream of Jesus telling her, “I AM going to meet him in the Rose Garden” (ie. Donald Trump), in America: Rose Garden Nomination is a Prophetic Sign.

Psalm 2 holy laughter and great shaking of USA and the nations – Veronika West

REPRISE: pre-US election prophetic word posted 30 SEPT 2020:

A RUMBLE OF HOLY LAUGHTER THAT FILLED THE ATMOSPHERE, IT WAS LAUGHTER THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE THUNDERINGS OF A THOUSAND RUSHING RIVERS!

Published on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook around 3pm this afternoon 30th Sept 2020 Veronika writes,

‘While trying to catch up with some of the latest highlights this morning from the Presidential Debate, something amazing happened….,as I was watching suddenly, I heard what I can only describe as A RUMBLE OF HOLY LAUGHTER THAT FILLED THE ATMOSPHERE, IT WAS LAUGHTER THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE THUNDERINGS OF A THOUSAND RUSHING RIVERS….and as I heard this deep penetrating laughter fill the heavenlies, I saw in the realm of the Spirit the Nations of the Earth begin to shake and tremble and I saw the spiritual boundary lines of many Nations begin to radically shift and change…I saw the Great Mountain of the Lord shaking violently and all of creation on the Earth was awakened to the sound of His Holy laughter….!

Freed at last from satan – my chains fall off!

To celebrate our wedding anniversary today and my birthday yesterday

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,

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…

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

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.]

[Continuing my personal testimony]

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! Continue reading

Jesus says, “Watch With Me” – Neil Mackereth (GPS #51.7)

The main message of prophetical ‘signals’ #51 received globally earlier this month is of the Lord Jesus keeping His focus on our heavenly Father’s purposes (Footnote refers). Then on Tuesday, 8th September, I learned what Neil Mackereth has been hearing from Him, as revealed in this email:

‘The Lord has been speaking to me about prayer, over the last few days: the difference between watching with Him and watching for Him! (See below)

‘We are blessed to be witnesses to the unfolding of Bible meaning. The Lord has made it clear to me that we should do our utmost to attune our soul, mind and spirit to see what is happening around us with HIS eyes and understanding. (Emphases RB)

‘There is a real danger that those who are not watching with Him will forsake Him and flee, when the going gets tough. The Holy Spirit imparts the power to watch with Jesus and I pray for a renewed infilling for all of us for that purpose.’ Continue reading

A humbling confirmation of my encounter with Jesus

Please carefully note this morning’s confirming comment from the antipodean ‘ends of the earth’ (New Zealand) to my Triple Validation of Jesus’ Night-time Visitation.:

Richard,
I have only ever shared this with one person and though she was a religious person was not particularly interested.
I have actually seen the living Jesus with my own eyes.
I won’t go into detail but I’m telling you this because of the picture of Jesus in the clouds with face obscured that you have shared.
When Jesus comes back he will look modern and young. He was around 33 when he died.
People will be amazed by this attractive Jesus. There will be gnashing of teeth but they have missed their opportunity. Jesus is concerned about this. He does not want any to perish.
I hope anyone reading this will take it to heart.
Time is running out.
Praise the I AM.

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

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 – v17 is today’s Keep Praying & Bless decree: ‘I Am the Giver of All Revelation’. 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.]

Awesome as my ‘rescue’ was, the dream-visitation of 31 years ago yesterday did not make me want to rush off to church. Its effect and the 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… Continue reading

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation

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

A little time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation over 13-14th September ’89, when I got confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE! So I fully expected to take my last breath there and then as an invisible trapdoor would open up in the floor and drop me 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 imaginaryEven 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).

Jesus ‘arrested’ me to stop me dropping into Hell…

Upon awaking 31 years ago tomorrow (14th September 1989), I was so happy to find I’m still alive after having had a close call with death in the night!

The previous evening in Pangbourne, Berkshire, I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But that night had been spent at my childhood home at 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event.

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and place. A dream so lucid that even three decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what had happened (copied from original, explanatory comments in italics).: Continue reading

Anniversary of close call when I nearly fell into Hell after shutting the door on God’s Good News

‘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. 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’s now below me and 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 serious 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

Last week’s Global Prophecy Signals on new Church also include Canada and USA (GPS #51.5 & #51.6)

‘…by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established…’ (Deuteronomy 19:15) 

So eight would carry some weight!  AND now nine!!

As prophesied some time ago, Kingdom-related events – even when not yet recognised – are rapidly gaining momentum. I trust the topics blogged over recent weeks may have given us a perspective, or perhaps just a glimpse. Here’s a reminder:

THEN, along came Wednesday 2nd September and a zoom meeting of a new church in Farnborough awaiting its formal launch, wherein the pastor brought an insight on Jesus’ focus being upon His heavenly Father and His purposes; thus He commands all that’s of the flesh and the devil to get out of sight behind Him (Mark 8:33).  And that applies today too! 

THAT was followed by a series of confirmations – perhaps even simultaneously – within various messages from around the world, as though via God’s own GPS. It’s His Global Prophecy Signalling system in action; or it may be likened to a shower of jigsaw pieces that fit together, thereby revealing details on an immense invisible jigsaw. This capture and scrutiny requires the teamwork of prophets, sensitive others and scribe.

Bringing prophetic pieces together

LET’S look at those pieces (or signals) as well as a couple of new ones and note their origin. It all began with having nothing special to blog, which is most unusual for a day set aside for blogging. Then along came the signals, or pieces, that reveal something in the Lord’s heart and mind for His followers:

  1. Wed 2nd evening: Farnboro‘ pastor’s Mark 8:33 insight – mine seeing ‘pillar of fire’
  2. Wed 2nd evening: Helen McS contacts me on times and seasons and shares link on Prophetic Releasers to N&C Johnson prophecy of SAME day in Australia.
  3. Thurs 3rd am: I answer Helen, note her link’s relevance, re-blog as GPS#51.1
  4. Thurs 3rd pm: Sarah-Jane B, Scotland, “I am moving. Follow Me!” GPS#51.2
  5. Thurs 3rd: Wanda Alger in Winchester, Virginia, USA writes as below…
  6. Fri 4th am: Lynne H provides link to Chris G Bennet, Rotherham, on God’s line in the sand
  7. Fri 4th pm: ‘God-incidentally’ note Veronika West’s (N. Ireland) brand-new posting with more on God’s line in the sand – ‘pieces’ 5 & 6 posted as GPS#51.3 & #51.4.
  8. Sat 5th; Maxine Phyllis in Nova Scotia, Canada, comments upon my FB version of GPS #51.3 & #51.4 as below…
  9. SEE PS below re. Neil Mackereth in Winchester, Hampshire, England.

THAT IS, after the weekend I learn of yet two more ‘signals’, this time via the ‘Bridge o’r Pond’: one from Winchester, Virginia, USA and the other from Nova Scotia, Canada. (Readers may recall the ‘God-incidental’ blogs on the track of the 1999 solar eclipse ‘mirroring’ the Mayflower’s voyage and an invisible spiritual ‘bridge’ – see Astonishing! Previous Post Gets Immediate Double-confirmation!

On the day I was blogging on that special point from Mark 8.33, Wanda Alger also writes on it and, thereby, confirms the importance of this principle in When will the Church Recognize and Renounce the Political Pharisees?..:

‘….Lest you think our priority should be the Golden Rule right now, remember how Jesus stood up to the robed regulators of His time. Not only did He confront the religious elite, He confronted anyone who gave in to the fear of man instead of the fear of God – even His best friend, Peter.

“Get behind me, Satan!,” He said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” (Mark 8:33)

‘Instead of focusing on our measure of compassion for the weak or our ability to submit to authority, we should be much more concerned with the spiritual forces at work behind the ongoing political propaganda created by the Pharisees of our day. Our efforts at being peace-loving people and benevolent servants are being manipulated by a spirit that seeks to destroy us. Rather than defending a conviction for wearing masks or challenging others to submit to the law out of fear, we should be recognizing the religious spirit that’s still at work.’ 

Upon returning to my desk this week I find this comment from Maxine Phyllis in Canada on my Facebook version of that double confirmation:

‘During my prayer time this morning I heard the Lord speak something I’ve never heard anywhere else, and it’s based on exactly this: the Kingdom relationship between the Father and Son manifesting on earth as they are in heaven. Not politics, not empty religion that exists to serve itself, but only that relationship which includes Kingdom sons who embrace the call of the Father to walk with His Son the way of the cross…’

The legislative principle ‘By the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established’ (Deut 19:15) also applies to prophecy because the existence of an event or new word from the Lord is being revealed and thus acknowledged. We have EIGHT!

SO we need to take note of what the Lord is saying and showing in the ‘invisible jigsaw picture’ – and listen for more ‘signals’ and watch out for more ‘pieces’ to fall…

PS – AND indeed another signal was being heard that week in Winchester, England, as Neil Mackereth reports in Jesus Says, “Watch With Me!”  (GPS#51.7)

‘Global’ prophecies continue – “Get behind Me satan!” and ‘line of demarcation’ (GPS #51.3 & 51.4)

We’re blessed with a rather different weekend. This morning my wife is enjoying an online workshop with Encore Choirs and I’m taking time to update readers on more prophecies relating to what we heard in Wednesday evening’s online meeting. 

In his fast-track summary of Mark’s Gospel, pastor Christopher Bird explained this is how Jesus is rebuilding His Church to follow His example. Off the ‘top-of-his head’, he shared an insight when referring to lead-disciple Peter’s personal revelation and confession that Jesus is The Messiah. However, Peter soon received a severe reprimand to “Get behind me satan!” in payment for his own distressed rebuking Jesus upon hearing about His destined death and resurrection (Mark 8).

Pastor said that as Jesus’ continual focus is upon the Father and doing His will, then all else has to be utterly out-of-sight, discounted and ignored. All that’s of a personal fleshly and soulish nature and thus open to the adversary’s influence and harmonising with its ambitions, purposes and strategies. Therefore, these must be put aside completely. So too, in my opinion, is everything relating to the pandemic. 

Therefore, I was delighted to learn of a couple more prophetic words connecting by God’s ‘GPS’ into that teaching session.

Unusually for a Friday, as I’m normally offline, I got a 1/4 hour window mid-afternoon to watch a specific video clip from many that readers recommend but rarely get time to see.  BUT as I was searching I got nudged to check for anything new from Veronika West as my Facebook doesn’t get any feed from her page. 

AND it just so happened she’d published one only 2 minutes earlier, but I saw a phrase in the opening lines was misspelled and unclear. Veronika soon corrected it to read about ‘demonic madness’ – so had it been garbled by gremlins?

Here’s Veronika’s posting as GPS #51.3

I hear the Spirit say,

“MY HAND OF TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE IS MOVING IN THE MIDST OF THE MAYHEM AND DEMONIC MADNESS TO BRING SHEEP NATIONS FULL CIRCLE…WATCH AND SEE! FOR THIS IS AN HOUR AND SEASON OF DIVINE DEMARCATION AND A RESETTING OF BOUNDARY LINES AS MY FINGER OF JUSTICE AND FREEDOM DRAWS A LINE IN THE SAND…WATCH AND PRAY!

“DO NOT BE MOVED BY THE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS, FOR NOW MY BLOOD DRAWS BOLD BOUNDARY LINES OF SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION AROUND MY COVENANT PEOPLE…SO WATCH AND STAY ALERT AS THE LANDSCAPES OF MANY NATIONS ARE BEING SHIFTED, REARRANGED, REALIGNED AND TRANSFORMED….

“WATCH AS THE PRODIGAL NATIONS BEGIN TO COME TO THEIR SENSES AND CHOOSE TO REPENT AND RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD…

“WATCH! FOR THE YOKES OF BONDAGE WILL BE BROKEN OFF THE NECKS OF THE NATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BESIEGED BY THE HAND OF THE ENEMY…SEE! FOR THE BLIND EYES OF MANY NATIONS WILL BE OPENED AND THEY WILL BEHOLD A NEW LAND OF PROMISE ON THE HORIZON, BELOVED LISTEN! FOR NOW THE SOUND OF VICTORY AND FREEDOM WILL BE UPON THE LIPS OF A RISING REMNANT AS THE MIGHTY WHIRLWINDS – WINDS OF MY SEVEN SPIRITS – BEGIN TO MOVE AND ADVANCE ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..!

I’m grateful to Lynne H for letting me know Chris G Bennett had posted the following only a few hours earlier. Not only does he refer to the same principle as Veronika but also to Jesus rebuilding His Church – thus making GPS #51.4 – as follows:

There is Another Line in the Sand

Yesterday, I wrote about a line in the sand as the Lord applies it to us, but He also gave me an interpretation of it as applied to the forces of evil. I wrote that interpretation to a dear friend and the effect was such that I am prompted to share it wider.

I wrote : “I felt the Lord say over you, “So far but no further. I will only allow so much to attack you, then – no more! I am limiting the enemy’s ability to harass you. I am setting my army around you. You are mine and I will protect and preserve you. I have plans for you that are as yet unfulfilled. So I rebuke the enemy. Thus far – not one step further!”

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I feel a move in the Spirit. I feel the enemy is being dragged back from the worst excesses he was planning. The Lord is rebuilding His church just as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. He is restoring hope where the world has been openly mocking us. He is restoring faith where faith has been shredded and all but destroyed. He is sounding a rallying cry to every Christian who will respond.

“TO ARMS! EVERYONE TO HIS OR HER POST. LET THE TRUMPETS HERALD A GATHERING OF THE SAINTS IN A WAR-ROOM TO PROCLAIM AND DECREE THE GREATNESS OF THE LORD AND TO DECLARE FRESH HOPE FOR ALL MANKIND! IT IS TIME TO CALL A COUNCIL OF WAR IN EVERY CHURCH, EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE. IT IS TIME FOR THE WATCHMEN TO WATCH AND STAND GUARD, FOR THE INTERCESSORS TO INTERCEDE DECLARE AND DECREE THE LORD’S WILL BE DONE, AND THE PROPHETS TO LEAD AS THEY HEAR AND SPEAK AND ACTIVATE THE WORDS OF THE LORD!”

“I Am Moving. Follow Me!” Word confirms the Lord’s instruction (GPS #51.2)

Published this afternoon on Facebook, this from Sarah-Jane Biggart, Asst Director of Glasgow Prophetic Centre and leader of The Purple Company (GPCs international prophetic intercession network), confirms the essence of what was taught at last night’s zoom meeting of Catch The Fire Farnborough. In a fast-track summary of the earliest Gospel account (by Mark), pastor Christopher Bird explained how it shows Jesus’ Way of ‘doing’ Church – as He told pastor: “Watch how I build Church!”. 

Sarah-Jane writes: 

‘I AM MOVING! FOLLOW ME’

I saw the Lord in the Spirit as the Lion of Judah. He came close to my face with His gentle but strong leonine face next to mine and said firmly, but with understated volume;

“I am moving”

He then began to walk ahead and I saw around me people in increasing numbers to my left and right begin to gather and walk with me. The Lord who had walked ahead of us paused deliberately slightly ahead and turned to look at us all. He then said to us all;

“Follow me!”

After He said these words He came very close to me and opened His mouth and roared incredibly loudly and violently into my body and Spirit these words:

“I AM MOVING!”

So loud and thundering was His voice it shook me. The words like many waters repeated over and over; repeated in the roar over and over again. At the same time I could hear Him speak these words in an underlying voice beneath the roar “count the cost” . I began to weep as I heard this knowing the cost would be great for many. The Lord reminding us what He said in Luke 14 to count the cost of following Him again as He released His roar.

ANGELS OF DIRECTION:

Then; I was aware of many angels increasing in the space next to me, crowding in to my left side and beginning to draw around me, even pulling at my wrist. Hundreds there, they pulled me into the centre of their enormous crowd and I heard the Lord say these were His angels of direction. Those we read about in Exodus 23. God says listen to your angel of direction and do what he tells you as he goes ahead to prepare the way we should go in accordance with Exodus 23.

I realised these angels were beginning to mark my skin with their ‘fingerprints’ – so that we the Church would know which way to go. Leaving a permanant imprint.

I heard the Lord say this:

“I am sending legions of angels for those who will say ‘Yes’ to moving with Me in this hour.

“To those who hear the call, I say now MOVE! Move and follow Me into the unknown.”

IT’S TIME TO MOVE!’

For some of us it’s a physical and geographical move. For others it is a change of career or relationship move. Many will see this word resonate and highlight the need to move from places and positions of safety and security that are not of the Lord. Listen to the Lord speak to you personally about where He is moving you.

He is saying to us to move away from the conformity and comfort and move into the openness of the unknown He is now leading us into.

OUR RESPONSE:

We say yes Lord to Your call.

We say we will move!

We will count the cost and follow You Jesus.

I say “Yes” to moving with you and following you Lord Jesus whatever the cost and whatever it looks like. Wherever You go; I will go.

An era is ending

Bette Cox has drawn attention to what she heard from the Lord 5 years ago for it resonates with the latest delivered by Thomas Harry, thereby reiterating the importance of both items. Also, its reference to closure of the age of Grace accords with Jonathan Hill’s analysis in Unlocking the Biblical Watch.

Bette Cox's avatarEsther's Petition

“But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.” (I Cor. 14:3 NIV)

A teacher once told our Sunday School class that prophecy today isn’t authentic unless it does one of those three things, and therefore it would always be pleasant or positive. Since the main subject of that day’s lesson was something else, I gave her comment little thought. I didn’t know much about prophecy at the time, Old Testament or New Testament.

Then one day I read Acts 21:10-14. The passage describes a prophet named Agabus, who came down from Judea to give Paul a prophecy about his upcoming trip to Jerusalem. It wasn’t pleasant or positive. “Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this…
