“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-23 NKJV)

Of myself: born and baptised in Roman Catholicism but when an adult became anti-church; but blessed to be saved and born-again by and baptised in the Holy Spirit, I regard myself as being non-denomination and desire the manifestation of the above prayer by My Saviour Jesus the Messiah.

And guess what? I find Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, is in the same boat with me – ie. non-denominational – as we shall soon see!

RECAP

So let’s quickly recap thus far on this posts’ specific topic. We’re examining the claim from British pastors’ perspective that, as reported superficially by biased media, there are grounds for doubting Donald Trump has “the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom.”

However, my blog’s historical data reports:
  • Trump is honoured, supported and prayed for by black churches, one bishop of which attended his Inauguration.
  • Prayer played a major role in his Inauguration, which featured more religious leaders than any other inauguration in history.
  • Independent editor based in the White House reported, “I rejoice at the change because it has been very tough being in the White House press corps the last eight years…Fortunately, Trump, Pence…and the nominees are very pro-Christian, pro-Evangelical and pro-Israel. This is truly a new day for believers in Yeshua.”
  • Furthermore, “not since Ronald Reagan’s presidency have all Christians been so welcome in every area of the White House as they are under Trump & VP. Pence.”

An inserted re-blog from the ‘Never-Trump’ author Joel Rosenberg tells what changed his mind and how he told President Trump when ‘Veep’ Pence took him to meet him in the Oval Office:

“Sir, if you accomplish nothing else for the rest of your term, you will go down in history as the most pro-life and pro-Israel president in the history of the country. And I just want to say, on behalf of my wife and me, thank you.”  The President seemed moved. Then I noted the Bible commands believers to “pray for kings and all those in authority.”

“I want you to know, sir, that I have prayed for you and your family every day since you took the Oath of Office.”

“Thank you, Joel,” Trump replied. “That means a lot to me.”

1.  One of my regular readers in New Zealand responded to Part 2 by informing me of comments by Revd Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church, California, about Trump:

“For me it is worthy of note that I’ve never seen a president who loved prayer as much as Donald Trump — and that includes from those I voted for and those I didn’t,” Johnson, who regularly preaches on revival and the Holy Spirit, said. “His passion for godly counsel is also legendary. His historic actions for Israel should appeal to believers, as the biblical mandate to pray supportively for Jerusalem is a clear priority in scripture.”

‘Explaining that he isn’t trying to coerce anyone or tell them who to vote for, Johnson said he believes Trump “is the only one who isn’t owned by either party, and is fully capable through courage and boldness to bring about the changes needed.”

2.  Religion News Service report of 19th October Both Candidates Went To Church This Weekend; Their Experiences Were Very Different makes for interesting reading and includes a brief prophetic word given to President and First Lady Trump.

3.  An exclusive and extensive interview with RNS published 23rd October reveals,

‘President Trump said in a written statement that he no longer identifies as a Presbyterian and now sees himself as a non-denominational Christian. “Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian,” Trump, who has repeatedly identified as a Presbyterian in the past, said in a written response to RNS. 

‘Saying that his parents “taught me the importance of faith and prayer from a young age,” Trump went on to say that “Melania and I have gotten to visit some amazing churches and meet with great faith leaders from around the world. During the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, I tuned into several virtual church services and know that millions of Americans did the same.”

‘The revelation about Trump’s religious identity appeared in an interview that was conducted in writing and covered a variety of faith topics, ranging from the president’s own spiritual life to his plans for the White House office tasked with engaging faith groups.’

4.  In President Trump: “Our Rights Do Not Come From Government, They Come From God” Gary Bower at LifeNews.com examines RNS interview’s five questions put to him:

  1. Last week you gave reference to thanking God that you had COVID. What did you learn spiritually during your COVID experience?
  2. You are regularly associated with influential Evangelical leaders what have you learned from them spiritually?
  3. Given the support you have received from evangelical Christians in particular, do you consider yourself to be an evangelical Christian and, why or why not?
  4. What have you done to help persecuted Christians around the world?
  5. You have continued the efforts of past administrations to have a “faith-based office.” What specific results have been produced by the Faith and Opportunity Initiative since you established it in 2018 and what do you expect it to accomplish in the coming years?

CONCLUSION

I trust my readers will be surprised and encouraged to join me in visiting the above links to learn more about President Trump’s renewed faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. May the Lord be the Trumps’ strong tower and keep them secure during this vital election.

Next, we’ll be surprised to note how Trump has put his faith into action as a politician!

Is Donald Trump’s heart for God’s Kingdom? – part 2: 2017-2020

Further to Part 1’s closing quotation from William Koenig on Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, readers may like to check this overview of his book on Obama’s dangerous legacy.

His location brought close familiarity with the work of several presidents and so William noticed the contrast between the last administrations is like that between darkness and light!

He emphasises that not since Ronald Reagan’s presidency have ALL Christians been so welcome in every area of the White House as they are under Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. As a newly refreshed believer the President has become more open to the Lord and, supported by Franklin Graham and other Christian leaders, is moving forward in his faith. SO please avoid jumping to conclusions and making inaccurate even presumptuous judgments.

We will look more closely at Donald Trump’s faith and its application in furthering Kingdom principles later.

First, let’s look at his overturning a couple of his predecessor’s policies that were detrimental to moving God’s Kingdom forward.

DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – ABORTION

Previously a pro-abortion businessman but now Christian president, Trump unequivocally and vociferously attacks malign activities of politicians who promote what is truly the worship of Molech (the demon-god of child sacrifice) in his speech to this year’s Pro-Life March. Quoting from The Root Behind the Plot to Impeach Trump?

“It is my profound honor to be the first president in history to attend the March for Life. We are here for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential….”

Breaking Israel News headline of the time notes Trump Invokes ‘God’ Eight Times as First President to Address ‘March For Life’. I especially note that this POTUS stresses,

“All of us here understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life…

“When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God’s creation. When we hold a newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a family. When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul. One life changes the world – from my family, and I can tell you, I send love, and I send great, great love – and from the first day in office, I have taken historic action to support America’s families and to protect the unborn…

“I notified Congress that I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policy or that encourages the destruction of human life.

“At the United Nations, I made clear global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life. Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.

“As the Bible tells us, each person is wonderfully made.”

DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – ISRAEL / IRAN

DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – EMBASSY
BREAKING THE MOLD
By David R. Parsons, 30 Oct 2020

As someone who worked hard for passage of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, it was disappointing over the ensuing years to see one president after another break their promises to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama – Democrats and Republicans alike – had all promised during their election campaigns to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US Embassy there. Yet each one reneged on their promises once in office.

And then along came Donald J. Trump. Twenty-two years after I first drafted a bill to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem for Senator Jon Kyl, President Trump was finally the one who kept his campaign promise to give this revered city the respect it is due. It proved that Trump was no ordinary politician. And it was a great personal relief and vindication that all the work and effort put in some two decades earlier had not gone to waste. When granting official recognition to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017, Trump specifically rested his decision on the overwhelming support that bill had already received in Congress back in 1995….click to continue reading at ICEJ

Is Donald Trump’s heart for God’s Kingdom? – part 1: 2008-2017

Posted on by

There’s extensive, heated discussion on the upcoming US election [2020], and of which my fellow ‘watcher’ John Barber’s Trumpwatch 35: Crunch Times presents an honest, balanced viewpoint.

According to Professor Wayne Grudem, author of the huge tome Systematic Theology on my bookshelf, “every time viewers heard a negative evaluation of Biden, they heard 158 negative evaluations of Trump. For every positive statement they heard about Trump, they heard 18 negative statements” (emphases mine). He doesn’t cite his source but we’ll revisit his opinion later.

Personally, after hearing the Lord say “This is all about to be fulfilled” upon opening my Bible 12 years ago (as recounted in The Endgame is Now in Play), I began paying close attention to events in the Middle-East, especially those related to Bible prophecy. Also, I began emailing some friends and church leaders in order to keep them appraised of the situation. This included monitoring American involvement through weekly reports from a Christian editor based in the White House. Things took a fascinating, surprising turn of direction with January 2017’s change in the US administration.

Yet politics turns most Christians in Britain off because of its nature and public distrust of politicians. However, biased mainstream media makes us not only uninformed – even accepting media’s deceptions – but also disables our grasp of how the Lord and His servants are working behind the scenes. Moreover, much as I respect church leaders, too few appreciate the prophetic.

UNEASE OVER TRUMP – MY CHALLENGE

Consequently, pastors are prone to dismiss prophetic insights, as have national prayer and healing ministry leaders I’ve known!  After circulating the video of Trump declaring Jesus Christ is more famous than himself to some local leaders, I got a gentle rebuke in some useful depth from one who cites two scriptures relating to his unease over Trump, and encourages me to look carefully at the fruit of his words, attitudes, values and actions, viz: “I have to say that I struggle to see the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom in what I have seen over the years.”

This is not surprising as he readily admits to not being well-informed on politics and, in view of Trump’s seemingly peculiar character, his cynicism is most understandable. He offers, “I suspect that many have done this for votes or political advantage – and few have actually been in submission to God and on His side. I pray that Trump and Biden both get to this place, and that God’s will is done and His Kingdom comes in the US election.”  

We can stand in agreement and I say a definite ‘AMEN’ to his closing prayer! Even so, I can’t let the opportunity go by without sharing some facts for the sake of being better informed.

So I sent a short briefing based upon what I’d already said by email with that video: “In thirty five years watching events relating to Bible prophecy, and involvement in the prophetic for the latter half of that time, plus keeping close tabs on US administrations since 2009, I do not recall being so blessed with how the Lord graciously used me as this week.”

I since realise my reply, expanded by some post-2009 observations, may be of some help to my readers on both sides of ‘the Pond’.

First, the criticisms based upon:

BRIEFING 1 – re. Scripture

“These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” (Matt 15:8) – Reply: “This can refer to Democrats’ leaders Obama and Biden (supposedly Catholic yet a RC bishop of Tennessee asks of Biden, “At your judgment before God, how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting no limits and allowing all protections removed protecting the most innocent? Will you tell God you supported the ultimate child abuse because of the American Constitution?”)”

“By their fruit you will recognize them.” (Matt 7:16) – Reply: “Some is obvious in Trump’s attempting to return Kingdom values back into public life (eg his Pro-life stance and his supporting ‘March For Life’) and nomination of Amy Barrett for a Supreme Justice, as well as furthering Father’s prophesied purposes for the state of Israel.”

BRIEFING 2 – re. President OBAMA

May 2009 – Early in his first term Obama met Netanyahu to discuss the latter’s 2-state solution for the Middle-East….involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan/Pakistan.) Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran. No wonder Egypt and S.Arabia – both kept militarily informed by Israel – and five Gulf emirates turned a deaf ear to Obama’s secret (and 3rd) delegation seeking hundreds of billions dollars investment in US and global economic stimulus plans! That weekend a political furore gripped Washington and frayed Obama’s key policies.

June 2009 – Obama’s infamous Cairo speech to Muslim world included delegates from the banned Muslim Brotherhood who were invited at Obama’s specific request against president Mubarak’s wishes. I express reservations about his claims as a Christian and historian as he negated known facts and gave an Arabic and Palestinian narrative!

These indicated Obama’s direction of travel in being thoroughly anti-Israel, getting MB members in his administration (as well as throwing pres Mubarak ‘under a bus’ and creating a diplomatic rift with Saudi Arabia!) and courting the terrorist regime of Iran.

He was also plainly anti-Christian in taking no action whatsoever against Islamist violence against Nigerian Christians; wanting American black churches to turn away from Biblical principles of marriage; promoting and celebrating lgbt and same-sex marriage nationally and globally; increasing accessibility of abortions and making US overseas financial dependent upon receiving countries introducing legislation to facilitate abortion (Ie. modern-day practice of abominable child sacrifice in worship to false-god Molech.)

Here’s a brief review of Obama’s legacy upon Israel .

BRIEFING 3 – re. President TRUMP

During his 2016 campaign, REUTERS STOPPED RECORDING on Sunday (4 Sept) as Donald Trump received a standing ovation at a black church and praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit. As Pastor Jackson presented Trump with a Hebrew shawl (tallit), a Jewish Bible, and offered his prayers, the black audience cheered and clapped. As a Reuters cameraman became suddenly aware of the strong impact of the moment, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!” The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this“ – but the feed got cut!

Just before his inauguration The Times interviewed Donald Trump with Tory party MP and ex-leader of the Brexit campaign, Michael Gove and reported: ‘Britain and America will get a new trade deal “done quickly and done properly”, Donald Trump said on Sunday night as he promised he would help make Brexit great. The US president-elect praised Britain for voting to leave the European Union, saying: “People, countries, want their own identity, and the UK wanted its own identity”. (emphasis mine)

It’s not so much that Trump trashes Obama’s ‘mobster-style’ threat, made during his visit to support ex-PM Cameron, to send Britain “to the back of the queue” in trade negotiations if we to vote to get out of the EU…more that Trump’s incisive remark about Britons wanting our own identity tallies so closely with a four years-old prophetic word brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone. His remark demonstrates that, both nations’ new and radically different leadership that’s come into office through exceptionally unusual circumstances, IS ALIGNING WITH THE LORD’S STATED PURPOSES AND DESTINY FOR OUR NATIONS. (Fulfilled Prophecy #15)

Inauguration 20 Jan 2017 – Unprecedented Prayer On Display

Prayer played a major role in the inauguration of Donald Trump. The ceremony featured six religious leaders, more than any other inauguration in history. The list included Paula White, one of his spiritual advisors, Rev. Franklin Graham, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, Rabbi Marvin Hier, and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.

Black History Month (Feb 2020)

‘African-American religious and political leaders lay their hands on Donald Trump as they pray for him at a White House reception to mark Black History Month. The US president vowed to deliver ‘abundant’ equal opportunities for all.’

And check out Trump’s dealing with the Nigerian President over Christian persecution:

PS. After the Inauguration, William Koenig notes in Eye View From The White House:

“There is great hope with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. They will need our prayers daily because the tasks at hand are enormous and very serious. I rejoice at the change because it has been very tough being in the White House press corps the last eight years.

“I am ready for greater involvement in the pressroom and keeping you up-to-date on what is taking place behind the scenes. Fortunately, Trump, Pence, Conway, Priebus, Bannon, Spicer and the nominees are very pro-Christian, pro-Evangelical and pro-Israel. This is truly a new day for believers in Yeshua.”

For a while I’ve noticed news of how our once noble police force has been silencing street preachers and failing to protect Christians at Speakers’ Corner from Islamists.  Details of today’s news confirm the word that awakened me one night, “MaSk is only ONE letter away from MaRk” (“Wake Up Church!” – few IF ANY pastors/leaders are prepared to teach about and rebel against.that!)  Moreover, pondering how to title this post I found I was typing the one shown above (by Holy Spirit’s inspiration?).

Shake Off The Dust From Your Feet! – Chris Bennett

Posted on by
2

The following jotted by Chris Bennett this afternoon reminds me this scripture was one of the few that hit me between the eyes when starting to attend church 30 yrs ago. Having heard similar but from the ‘other camp’, I immediately recognised its validity – and stayed for more, lots and lots and lots more!! (Emphases below are mine)

DUSTY FEET

I was disturbed earlier today when I had a vivid mini-vision of someone talking to a group of people. They were very important, government people, and their leader sat behind a beautiful wooden desk. Many were smiling or smirking, indulgently it seemed, as the speaker addressed them.

There was some head shaking, some words exchanged, and the speaker turned to leave. Then, quite suddenly, and to the shock of many present, he stopped. He removed his shoes saying, “Excuse me, but the Lord would have me do this before I leave!” Then he shook the dirt and dust from his shoes and walked out bare-footed before putting them on again. The effect was significant in that one or two scoffed, but most were shocked and alarmed as they understood the import of what they had just seen. The vision faded.

The Lord took me to these verses – “And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.”
Matthew 10:14, Mark 6:11, & Luke 9:5

I asked the Lord what this was all about? It seems to me to be a warning to our leaders and our people, government, church, and business in both UK & America, that the Lord is about to wash his hands of us if we don’t start to listen to Him. I didn’t see any consequences of their refusal to listen, but I, and they, certainly understood the seriousness of the situation.

It is said, in 1 Peter 4:17, that judgement begins with the church, but I got the impression that before or when that happens, the Lord will remove power from those who currently hold it, and give the power back to the people. Not in a militant sense but more in a righteous sense. He is taking the candlestick, (Revelation 2:5), and moving it to where it will be stewarded reverently and responsibly by righteous men and women of God. I got the impression of righteousness returning to every level of government from kindergarten to national levels and all in between.

If and when the Lord kicks the dust from His feet, the shaking will be felt in every corner of the realm. If we don’t starting to listen to Him, either directly or through His prophets, then the consequences will be serious indeed!

Set Your Face As Flint! – Chris G Bennett

Posted on by
9

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…’ !!!

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by
Reply

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).

Christian Post

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.

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!

Posted on by

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…

I remain, your brother in Christ

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)

Posted on by

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

Posted on by
Reply

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.
Alex Alexander

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

Posted on by

‘…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 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).
