2971B32A-EAEA-4841-9763-F626C36EAFB2In both their Arabic and English editions, the Saudi Gazette has just published a rare and possibly unprecedented front-page interview with an Evangelical Christian speaking candidly about war, peace, reform, the Crown Prince and what followers of Jesus believe.

JEDDAH — Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman is leading Saudi Arabia through the most dramatic, positive and exciting social and economic reforms in the history of the Kingdom, said Joel C. Rosenberg, New York Times best-selling author and head of the Evangelical Delegation, in an exclusive interview with Saudi Gazette, following his visit to the Kingdom recently…..

Rosenberg: None of us want to see another war in the Middle East. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are commanded in the Bible to pray for peace and to be peacemakers. So, we are praying fervently for peace and stability. At the same time, however, we…

3 prophecies in last week September for the UK, nations and USA – GPS #38.3: Leisa Ebere, white stallion & orchestra

Posted on by

Leisa writes, ‘The Lord woke me up at 4:00 am this morning, 29/09/19, and gave me this powerful message for America; as I conversed with Him. And my heart cried out for the land I was born in, though I have lived in the UK for more than 18 years. God let your mercy pour out upon America., Amen.

THE WHITE STALLION AND ORCHESTRA PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere 29th September 2019

I received a vision from the Lord concerning America and I saw a horse, a beautiful white stallion, who had gone lame because the rider had carelessly ridden the horse hard over rocky mountains and muddy valleys and harsh deserts; and had not taken care to give its hooves the proper protection they needed.

Then I saw a farrier pounding out metal horseshoes with an anvil and I saw the shoes the horse had been wearing were bent and worn, and I knew the horse had suffered much pain and damage to its hooves and tendons, as a result.  “For My Body have walked in a place of presumption and many of the leaders I have appointed have not sought My advice nor My Presence during their decision making,” said the Lord.

‘But what of President Trump and the Ukrainian dilemma he now finds himself in Lord?’ I asked.

“I appointed him as a maestro in My orchestra,” said the Lord, “but he has left out the wind instruments of My Spirit, and his lack of compassion and carelessness have opened the door for the enemy to come in, despite the magnificent music that has been played for My Kingdom’s advancement, and now the music has stopped and the horse has gone lame.” 

What can be done then Lord? I asked and He answered, “There must be repentance  and a filtering out of pride and hardheartedness; for people are dying in the towns and the cities, as many would rather allow weapons to be taken up, rather than lift their prayers and voices unto me.  My heart is sorrowful,” said the Lord “for a favoured nation has allowed the horse to go lame and now the music has stopped.”

3 prophecies in last week September for the UK, nations and USA – GPS #38.1: Leisa Ebere, demonic manipulation

Posted on by

Early on Wednesday evening 25th September Leisa emailed me on what she’d heard the Lord saying whilst was praying for the UK during that day. I copied it for posting the next day, but in view of other material decided it was better to schedule for Friday for weekend reading. However, very early Friday she asked me to hold publication until she’d written up further insights, all as follows:

Leisa 15-7 Sep19

THRONE ROOM REVELATIONS OF PEOPLES AND NATIONS

given to Leisa Ebere during the last week of September 2019

‘The Lord has been waking me up throughout this week (intermittently at night), speaking to me about the Nations of the Earth and the Body of Christ; and I heard the Lord say:

“I am not pleased with this life and death struggle that has arisen between men and women and the UK remaining or leaving the EU, for my heart is for the nations, not just one nation,” said the Lord. “And I am Moving in such a way that a sweeping of my Sovereign Hand shall cause Cleansing and a Great Positioning of the nations of the Earth and the Body of Christ for My Divine Purposes.’ 

‘Then I saw many beautiful women with eloquent voices spewing political rhetoric and their beautiful faces turned into faces of demons with dog-like features, and I heard the Lord say,

“My adversary is using this forum to cause My people to hate each other and separate from My true purposes, which is to bring My Word and My Love to the nations of the Earth. And I say to you that the demonic forces of the enemy are manipulating both sides of this issue, to halt the great commission that I have set before you, My People.

“Understand your divine destinies, My Children, and bring back My faraway sons and daughters and gather the nations of the Earth in My Name,” said the Lord. “And though you cannot see My Sovereign will is at work in this hour across the British Isles, have faith and be comforted that I am in control, My People. And I declare to you that the UK shall be separate; but it shall also still have influence over the nations.”

‘I then asked the Lord, ‘Why are you using ungodly men and women in high political positions to carry out Your will?’ And I heard the Lord say, “Because many men and women in My Kingdom have pharasaical and religious mindsets which are counterproductive to My Will and are, in truth, witchcraft abominations in My sight. For prayers are being prayed without seeking My Will for the Earth and all of its inhabitants. I have come to set the captives free, not to protect the elite. I shall cause the vulnerable chicks to be gathered under My Wings.”

‘The Lord then took me to the book of Zechariah 6 and He said,  “I have released heavenly horses and riders throughout the Earth to release My Power, Revelation, Godly Order and Judgments. And I say to you that, as from the Prophet Zechariah’s time to Nehemiah’s time where four generations came and went, so is the time yet to come for revival harvest to fully occur in the context of this Age. For a great positioning must transpire before the Walls of My Kingdom can be firmly built and for My People to rise up and flourish.”

‘Then I saw that I was suddenly at a meeting of a well-known ministry, and I further saw that the leaders would not let the people attending the meeting take part in any way and that the people could only observe what was happening.  And the leaders were joining hands and walking in a clockwise, circular fashion and I heard the Lord say:

“Many leaders in My Body are trying to control people and they even try to control time to bring about a blockage of My Spirit so that their agendas take precedence.’ 

Then a woman leader approached me in my vision and said to me in a forceful voice:  “Do you not remember that I am meant to Father you, this is the way you should go?” And I saw that this woman was very masculine in all of her ways.

Then I heard the Lord say, “This evil woman, Jezebel, has entered into the politics of nations and into the leadership of many ministries and churches within My Kingdom; but I have released heavenly horses and riders to cast her down and break her power over the Peoples and Nations of the Earth. For My Love for My People is Great and I have decreed that a shaking is coming about to Release transformation and victory into dark places.”

Then the Lord showed me a boat with people on it travelling up a mighty river canal and I saw that at exactly 11am the boat exploded; and I further saw that there were two Christians on the boat.  Then the Lord showed me that one Christian died from the explosion, and one survived; and that the survivor was flung from the boat when the explosion happened into the river and was swimming strongly with the current of the river.

And I heard the Lord say:  “Those that remain after the shaking shall be stronger and more aligned with My Spirit, and these I will entrust to carry out My Will and My Message to the Lost and to the Destitute, in the days ahead, for these are precious in My Sight.’ 

I then asked the Lord: ‘And what of the Christian that was killed, Father God?’  And He said, “My mercy endures forever and such as these cannot endure the hardships of the things to come. and so I will gather them unto Me.”

Leisa Ebere: wet and dry reeds and the Holy Spirit

Posted on by

Leisa writes, ‘I believe the Lord is calling us to immerse ourselves in His Spirit in these troubled times, in order for us to overcome the evil one…’

THE WET & DRY REEDS PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 18/09/19

I sat on the side of a body of water and I saw that there were different sized reeds on the shore, some partially in the water and some not.  And I was aware that there was a boat coming into the shore and that the reeds would be crushed by the boat, if it came there.  Yet, the wet reeds I knew would be less displaced then the dry reeds.  And then I heard the Lord say:

“The time of the total Immersion into My Spirit is now upon My people. For damaging intrusions shall cause havoc if the immersion doesn’t occur. For the immersion of yourselves into My Spirit causes protection,  strength to endure and deep revelation from Me, which will be much needed in the days ahead. Why do you walk in the old and dry ways without breakthrough or favour, when you could have power, healing and provision as you align your paths with My Spirit? For most assuredly, I shall not pattern My Ways unto man. But you must learn to pattern your ways after Me; and then you shall have victory in your cities, in your nations and in your families. Declare that this is a new day,” says God, “and light your dark caves with the lanterns of My Spirit, as I cause light to come into your troubled bodies and souls. I am Jehovah Sabaoth, and I shall command My Armies to assist you in this hour.”

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation

A little time was needed to gain a fuller understanding of that awesome visitation – the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I expected to die and was convicted of my sin!

That encounter used two very personal aspects of my life to grab my attention, thereby validating the experience as real, not an imaginary one. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they couldn’t fail to enhance my interest in End-Times and which had been launched a few years earlier by The Invisible Hand (described here).

30 years ago last night Jesus stopped me dropping into Hell

Upon awaking 30 years ago today (14th September 1989) I knew events in the early hours had been a landmark in my destiny.

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

30 years ago tonight I shut the door on God’s Good News…

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

The evening of 13th September 1989 I entertained a young man, barely an adult, only to end up discretely disagreeing!

I didn’t know a false gospel had lured me to the Devil’s Door. It wasn’t a normal door but a trapdoor and 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 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 →

Leisa Ebere: The Edge of Revival Prophecy

Posted on by

Since publishing her ‘no-deal’ Brexit revelation (notably significant in registering 212 direct views at the moment), Leisa advised me to revisit Jarrod Cooper’s prophecy, and I recall a prophet’s recent, risky word that’s open for early confirmation of accuracy.  It speaks of a UK-Eire deal by the New Year. Late last night Leisa writes with more:

‘Sorry to add a bit more Richard, but the Lord has been speaking to me for hours tonight and here is more of what He has said:

THE EDGE OF REVIVAL PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere 11/09/19

“I stand at the edge of the landscape of many nations and see transformation,” says God. “Hatred and Division shall be no more as the imprint of My Spirit makes an indelible impression upon My Remnant and they forge ahead with My Presence and My Authority and bring My mercy, patience and love across the nations of the Earth. My trumpet is sounding as my armies are being assembled,” says the Lord. “And My ways shall not be scrutinized by Man, as critical eyes and complaining tongues seek to understand things of the Spirit in natural ways. Align your spirits and minds with My Purposes and all will become clear.”

Leisa Ebere: ‘No-deal’ Brexit Revelation

Posted on by

Upon informing Leisa of my publishing the Declaration of Change Prophecy, she replied immediately as follows and, as usual, readers are to weigh personally with the Lord:

‘Thanks Richard, I had a definite revelation from the Lord on 04/09/19 (before the government vote) concerning Boris Johnson and the No Deal Brexit proposition. But as with all political revelations from the Lord, it will seem controversial to some. So please let me know if you don’t feel you wish to publish it?

‘The Lord showed me with some degree of urgency from the Holy Spirit… that the No Deal Brexit orchestrated by Boris Johnson and his followers, is actually a Sanballat manoeuvre and a distraction from the enemy, and that it has been causing confusion and strife within the Body of Christ and the UK.

‘He further showed me, that He will be providing a way for the UK to leave the EU; but that the time is not yet; and that if this is forced through… it will be damaging to the UK.

‘He also showed me a few days later, that there was pressure being exerted upon Boris Johnson to force the No Deal Brexit through, and I sensed these outside sources had a definite agenda. And I saw by the spirit, money being passed under a table.

‘Furthermore, the Lord showed me that His will was for us to follow the Norway Model in order for the UK to separate themselves from the EU. For this will enable us to keep open means of communication to have an influence on trade, communication and indeed travel, as the UK acts as a springboard country for revival across the Nordic and European nations in the future.’

[My reply: Yes this is v. important for I’m only too aware of that confusion in the faithful. I have no problem with being controversial and have been taken to task for it, but I’m a watcher and disseminator. It’s for readers to weigh and discern and, when able, I check which words have proved accurate, or are on course for being fulfilled.]

Leisa Ebere: Declaration of Change and Transformation

In her email of last Friday 6th September Leisa writes, “God is doing a new and mighty thing in our mist, and we must ready ourselves for a phenomenal change; which God will cause to happen in order to bring about a mighty harvest across the Earth in this hour.  Please find the Powerful Word the Lord gave me this week concerning this:

DECLARATION OF CHANGE PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 04/09/19

“The diagrams of church are changing to break the pride and traditions of men,” declares the Lord. “My Holy Spirit has been entrapped like a wild beast in many parts of My Body and only allowed out for entertainment or self-proclaimed reasons,” says the Lord, “and I say to you in this hour, I will not be contained. 

“I am in the wind and the desert, in the oceans and in the mountains; and My power shall transform the Earth and cause a new template of gathering to be birthed amongst My People. For I am looking for pioneers,” says the Lord, “those who will go to obscure places and establish My Truth,” says the Lord. “And a springing up of new blooms shall cover the fields as My Harvest takes root, and I declare that an ever-increasing change shall abide across this land and many nations of the Earth. My Staff and Rod are at work,” says the Lord of Hosts, “prepare yourselves for change!”

GPS #37 – Vision of The Shaking and of The Rock

Yet another of God’s ‘Global Prophecy Signals’! 

After having blogged on Monday about the Lord setting up His plumbline in our nation I espied this new item on Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival from Joanna Kinch, who kindly permits my republishing. (Note its ‘coincidental’ publication with my item):

‘Given 09/09/2019 – I saw a picture of two large long cracks in the earth, which is a fault line and this is what Yahweh revealed:

“I am going to send shock-waves through the land. There is a fault line.

“My church will be shocked, her foundations will shake, but that which is built on the Rock will stand. That which is built on My Son and My Words will stand. Everything else will shake, rattle and roll into the pit..”

The  preceding text and pictures instantly took me back to the open vision I had in front of me as worship started at a conference in St Albans in 2004. Most perplexed by its associated words I thought came from the Lord, I referred this to the presiding pastor and his guest speaker, but neither were able to comment. When I shared it the next year with Revd Dr Sharon Stone, she immediately confirmed it as being of the Lord.

To Joanna, however, I commented on PRUKR Facebook, “Seems to tally with the Amos 7:7 word I had on Sunday, published 9.9.19”, to which she replied, “…goes alongside. Get ready. This is serious business.”

“It sure is Joanna and alongside many prophecies over recent years of a great shaking – even the open vision I had 15 years ago of Great Britain on rotten old jute sacking and the Lord whispering “The fabric of society is so rotten I can tear it apart”. As I watched it start to rip down the middle, where the ‘backbone’ of the Pennines is, I saw a huge, divine rock slowly emerge.”

[Full account and details of vision in Comments upon the ‘Collapse of Society’, 2011]

Therefore, my readers you may well wish to again weigh and test prophetic words…

ALERT: Boris Johnson and Leo Varadkar are meeting now – Declaration for birthing a Nation

Posted on by
Reply

When I broke for lunch I popped TV on to check for any film to record BUT happened to see breaking news of Leo Varadkar start his welcoming speech to Boris Johnson upon his arrival in Dublin to discuss Brexit’s ‘backstop’ issue. SO it’s a good time to pray that satanic spirit’s be silenced and the Lord be in the midst of their deliberations and that both nation’s prime ministers be completely open to being directed by His Holy Spirit, and thus align with and allow Father’s will being done throughout the British Isles as it is in heaven.

Also, here is today’s declaration from Passion For The Nation:

BIRTHING A NATION

Whether we remain or leave the EU, and whatever the eventual timing, we stand on the brink of a new season for this land.  So, we come into agreement with God’s word,

‘The Government shall be on His shoulders, and He will be called, Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of His Government and peace there will be no end…  (Isaiah 9:6)

We declare God is birthing a new season for the United Kingdom, and we acknowledge Him as the Highest authority in Heaven and earth. In the Name of Jesus, we decree the God-given sovereignty and order of governmental authority for the United Kingdom will be established.

We declare the sound of the Name of Jesus will be heard in the heavenlies and upon the earth, and we raise the sound of the victory of Jesus over our nation, over every success, every failure, every fear and every confusion concerning the future of this land.

We stand as the Ecclesia in this nation and speak convergence and completion, that the new season for this nation will be birthed according to every blueprint and timing held in Heaven, in Jesus’ Name.

GPS #36.6: Day for Prayer for Britain – God’s scarifying the church and nation

Posted on by

Whilst publishing the latest addition to this series (#36.5) I was amazed to receive yet another ‘signal’, this time from Paul Clift whose climactic key to his vision of Brexit-EU spiritual tug-of-war, which confirmed a vision Veronika West had earlier, was recently echoed by the Press. Moreover, it’s sequencing is the Lord’s timing, as noted below.

Again, the reference to Godly oversight in prophecy is noteworthy, as Paul writes,

‘I am very surprised to be sending you another word for your consideration. I do not have a calling to the office of a prophet, but God can use any of us at anytime to do things we do not expect to do. We just have to be open to Him.  Our church, Kings Church Halifax, had a prayer meeting last Saturday morning in parallel with Prayer for the Nation organised by David Hathaway. One week earlier as I was in my garden, the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I was scarifying my large lawn. He said it was for the prayer meeting last Saturday.

‘I read the prophecy on Saturday morning. At the Senior Leaders Team (SLT) meeting we had on Monday morning the prophecy was discussed…Tonight is the first ‘church at prayer’ mid-week session in the series…The SLT have asked me to read the prophecy again tonight so that as a church we can pray into it’

With the prophecy in blue font, the paper Paul encloses reads: 

‘Received on Saturday 24th August 2019 While Scarifying My Lawn

‘The Holy Spirit started talking to me about scarifying. The lawn looks fine, but very slowly over time debris builds. This is usually from mowing the lawn because not all the lawn cuttings are caught by the box on the mower. Also, in some regions, such as where we live, the soil is acidic and this encourages the growth of moss. After applying moss-killer the lawn needs to be scarified to remove all debris. Holes need to be punched in the lawn through a process called tining so that air, water and fertiliser can penetrate deep into the lawn to revitalise it. This will promote strong growth especially in the roots. Over a period of time the lawn will become very healthy.

‘Immediately after scarification the lawn looks terrible, especially if a lot of debris and moss has had to be removed. The amount of debris removed from my lawn on that Saturday was over 2 full compost bins. The lawn looked really brown, but I knew from past experience that in a few weeks time the lawn would look really good and would be strong and healthy.

“At this time I am scarifying the church and this nation. There is much that is dead within the church and it is strangling new growth, in some cases suffocating any life that exists within itself. The same is true in the lives of many Christians because debris has been allowed to build, so growth is stunted and for some the life has gone.

“You are to be in the world but not of the world. You have allowed the ideas and thinking of the world to influence and infiltrate you rather than you influencing and infiltrating the world. My word to you is to come out from among them and be separate. This is a time to let my Holy Spirit get deep down into your spirit, soul and mind so you can be cleansed. It is a time to repent and respond. If you confess your sin He is faithful and just to forgive your sin and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

“I am also scarifying the House of Commons, the House of Lords, the Civil Service, the Royal Family, the Police Force and Big Business. I will bring to light that which appears to be buried. However, nothing and no-one will evade me,” says The Lord. “I have called this nation to come out from among them and be separate. The seemingly green and pleasant lawn does not look very appealing after scarification, but it is a necessary process to prepare this nation for what needs to be done. Church, will you rise up and partner with me in this time to fulfill the destiny of this nation or will you let this opportunity slip through your hands?

“It takes 2 or 3 months for the scarified lawn to start to recover. It is not a pleasant sight during this time. But if the lawn is tined and fed then the signs of growth and recovery start to take place. Just as it is with the lawn, so it will be with this nation. The next 2 to 3 months will not be a pleasant sight but then small signs of recovery will start to take place. It will take 2 to 3 years for this nation to fully recover, but it will go on from strength to strength.”

Note: A normal solar year is 365 days, but a leap year is 366 – as with 2020. Now look at the sequential number in the above title of this blog’s posting!  (‘GPS’ sequencing began in December 2016.) Therefore, isn’t this another part of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw puzzle?

Leisa Ebere: Paradigm shift for the UK – warning prophecy to leaders

Posted on by

Leisa writes on Saturday, “The Lord gave me this strong prophetic word yesterday. A paradigm shift is about to descend upon this nation and we need to be declaring God’s goodness and sovereignty across the UK. Here is the Word.:

THE LEADERS PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 2nd August 2019

The Lord says that, “The pride of the leaders of this nation has caused blockage to blessing ordained by My Sovereign Hand. For surely, as in Nebuchadnezzar’s time, there is witchcraft within the city gates, which has caused a stubbornness of heart amongst the people,” says the Lord. “And rash decisions even now are being made by leaders, which are not aligned with My Kingdom’s advancement. The darkness of mind that came in the form of boanthropy upon that Babylonian king was allowed through open doors because of pride, witchcraft and tolerance of evil; and so shall a similar fate happen to those leaders that oppose My Divine Purposes in this hour across the nation of the United Kingdom. My People, rise with an expectancy of a New Day and let your tongues be active with declarations of righteousness and breakthrough for My Will to be performed across this land. Cast aside all doubt and keep your eyes fixed upon Me. For surely, I am separating and I am choosing men and women of purpose and destiny. Do not listen to doomsayers; but declare My goodness and walk into destiny as all decisions are made according to the leading and movement of My Spirit,” says the Lord of Hosts.

Back to Biblical Basics: events leading into Jesus’ Return

Posted on by

This post appears in the hub About Signs and is the reference copy of the continuation of The Who, Why, When and What of Watching, published in February 2018.

In continuing our trilogy on getting back to Biblical basics, arising from having heard “It’s sooner than you think!!”, the following ‘signs’ foretell events indicative of Jesus Christ’s return to rule and reign upon earth:

Omitting signs that apply to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 (Note 1) and those recorded by Apostle John in his book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, this selection is compiled from the earliest Gospel (Mark 13), augmented by Matthew (24) and Luke (17 & 21), plus extracts from Paul’s letters to believers in Corinth and Salonika, to whom he told the origin of his teaching – ‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord…’ .: Continue reading →

God’s humour in mechanic’s miracle and at atheist’s expense!

Posted on by
8

The Sunday evening before last we heard how God miraculously provided about 1,300 large bread cakes from only 200 that pastor Christopher Bird had taken to a Ugandan orphanage, but to which 500 children had walked for hours for food to feed them over the week!  Next he took the left-overs to other places and watched everyone getting fed from what he’d originally brought. Only 7 loaves were left, which were for the 7 servers.

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL MIRACLE

Next, a group told him on a Sunday morning they’d take him Monday to a neighbouring nation – but he needed to apply for an entry visa. So he had to get two visa-size photos on a Sunday afternoon in Kampala – but there was a city-wide power blackout!

He saw a 50-years old photo-booth on a pavement and spoke to its attendant who said it was unplugged because of the outage. Chris told him the God who created electricity and gave mankind the ability to harness it and power machines would make it function properly. He thus prayed loudly to the Lord and a crowd began to gather.

Upon sitting in the booth and drawing the curtain, four flash lights went off and colour photos appeared right away!

PROBLEM: it was a black-and-white only camera and took minutes to print photos:

RESULT: colour photos and so attendant mechanic shouts, “I now follow Jesus!”

ARROGANT ATHEIST ANSWERED

Two weeks ago today came news of Felix Ngole’s landmark legal victory for freedom of speech and my posting was reblogged on All Along The Watchtower, where it attracted a lengthy debate – but not upon the details of the case. A new commentator is pleased this ruling allows for engaging with believers for the purpose of enlightening them on how “ridiculous and erroneous” the Bible is!!  Therefore, he or she demanded evidence for and repudiated Christians’ claims, especially for Jesus and the Resurrection.

It is amusing that their next and many attempts to answer a moderator’s request for background details didn’t get published and caused some consternation. Meanwhile, moderator mused, “Maybe God didn’t like what you wrote?”  Eventually, comments were found in the WordPress software’s trash can!

As the site is a God-fearing one then He probably considers those contributions serve only the hater of humanity. Also, the Lord was yet to have a further, amusing play with this person’s mockery.

That their comments are hidden by anonymity, are arrogant, devoid of manners as well as demonstrating a completely closed mind, renders their arguments invalid. So the bin is where they belong!

In choosing an avatar icon and name that I was familiar with when an unbeliever active in its ungodly realm, I discerned the issue and offered my testimony as a witness to the Lord for their further investigation.

I was met with, “I suggest you keep looking out for those signs of Jesus’ return, And while you are waiting why not read the bible? All of it”  I replied the Lord is our judge and wasted no further time with this lost soul but pray he, too, has a radical encounter with Him.

That was happening whilst I had a hard-copy of Neil’s paper on End-times to peruse, and had just got Nicholas’ sermon notes (previous posts refer). I mentioned them to my wife but she doesn’t closely follow my blogging and was unaware of all the details.

I’ve now realised the Lord gave Nina the audible word about His return, “It’s sooner than you think!!!”, as though answering that mocking atheist in His own way – as the adage goes: ‘He who laughs last, laughs longest!’

Next, we’ll take a fresh look at the events Jesus told us to watch out for…

GPS #35: ‘God-incidental’ messages focus upon the Lord’s Return

Posted on by
Reply

Do you get the impression the Lord is turning our faces – as though holding them in His hands – to look specifically at the important matter of His return?

In fact, I submit to you it’s on God’s GPS system, ie. His Global Prophecy Signalling for the following reason:

My offering to a forum what Nina audibly heard on the Second Advent coming sooner than we think or expect, as recounted in Back to Biblical Basics, was met by a wariness on the matter of ‘timing’.

Many will recall claims, mainly by American church leaders, notoriously setting dates for Jesus’ return and which have proven false. Even the Book of Revelation’s penultimate verse says it will happen ‘soon’ – but nearly 2,000 years is not soon!  In my opinion, this timing is in the supra-natural realm where things appointed for the future exist but have yet to manifest upon the earth, rather like faith is the substance and evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1) – or as Apostle Peter explains definitively,

‘But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8 NKJV)

I’ve blogged elsewhere that prophets don’t set any timing upon fulfillment of words and visions for such an insight is a rarity, and it becomes a measure of being a true or false prophet!  Thus, Chuck Pierce, Dr Sharon Stone and Veronika West put their reputations on the line when prophesying about major changes this month, as summarised herein.

In replying via Messenger to the forum I mentioned having recently received papers on End-times. Two contributors to this blog, unbeknown to the other, prepared them almost simultaneously in the last week of June!  So, I got nudged to close my response with a previously unconsidered remark, ‘It’s as though the Lord’s deliberately turning our faces to look specifically at this important matter’.

What I didn’t know was that, whilst I was writing, the Lord was confirming that final idea by GPS!  Upon sending my message and returning to the top of my email in-tray I found a new email from an overseas intercessor stressing this very issue:

‘I saw today the posts you put up over the weekend. Keep it up dude, that is your calling – “Looking for signs of Jesus’ return.” That is your focus…’

Therefore, much as we appreciate ‘rhema’ words from the Lord, it is very important not to neglect the prime importance of Biblical, End-times, prophecy. It takes precedence as being in the sovereign will of God, within which contemporary prophecy is interwoven.

Next, let’s consider those other two author’s papers…click to read > >

Back to Biblical Basics: direct Word on Jesus’ Return, and vision of Iran

Posted on by

At Tuesday morning’s coffee & cake meeting outside Haslemere, someone asked the worship leader to do some older songs. The first was new to me, but then came ‘These Are The Days of Elijah’ followed by Noel Richards’ famous song, so pertinent for today (courtesy paroles-musique):

“Great is the darkness
That covers the earth,
Oppression, injustice and pain.
Nations are slipping
In hopeless despair
Though many have come in Your name,
Watching while sanity dies,
Touched by the madness and lies.

[Chorus, verse 2 and chorus, then rejoicing in final verse:]

“Great celebrations
On that final day
When out of the heavens You come.
Darkness will vanish
All sorrow will end
And rulers will bow at Your throne,
Our great commission complete
Then face to face we shall meet:

“Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus,
Pour out Your Spirit we pray.
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus,
Pour out Your Spirit on us today.“

Whilst singing the chorus I noticed Nina look at me, then sit down, take paper out of her handbag and jot a short phrase. Her expression and shaky stance told me she’s being touched by the Holy Spirit. Afterwards, she told me that in the chorus she distinctly heard the Lord whisper in her ear, and thus in block caps (black ink) notes His words,

“IT’S SOONER THAN YOU THINK!!!”

Nina knows it’s not about any Revival but, as urged in the song, all about His Return.

+  +  +

I now ask, however, “Is that before, upon or after what we were soon to hear?”

The promise Nina heard becomes even more poignant by what the guest speakers from Elam Ministries reported on Christianity’s rapid growth through underground churches in Turkey and Iran, and thus moving rapidly towards the fulfillment of Jeremiah 49:34-39 – the Judgement of Elam (Persia/Iran)

[WOWEE, I’m getting a very strong sense of ‘deja vu’ in what I’m doing, as though the event, situation and what I’m blogging has already been done: but this confirms it’s all God’s Timing!!!]

“I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,” says the Lord. (Jer 49:39 NKJV)

It was awe-inspiring to hear a young lady pastor’s account of life in jail after her house church was raided and closed. Also, that only last week an ex-Muslim 14 years-old boy had a vision of mosques in Iran tumbling down and being replaced by churches!

Afterwards, I mentioned this strongly reminded me of the declaration I heard announced from heaven of the “Fall of Islam”, and of the lightning strike upon the Grand Temple in Mecca on 14th anniversary of the attack upon New York’s towers (as recounted here and linked herein respectively).

So the Lord’s pointing us back to what His Word says about His Return….(next posts).

Urgent word for UK & NI on the mantle of Churchill and whirlwind of Wilberforce

Posted on by

In May and June last year Veronika West had two prophetic words relating the move of God in the UK to ‘The Whirlwinds of William Wilberforce’, the first was republished on this blog and the second on their drawing near, including prayer for the protection of Tommy Robinson, in His Kingdom Prophecy. (Recommend reading both before you proceed.)

Yesterday, she received further insights and posted two accounts in this sequence:

AN URGENT WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND; THE MANTLE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL SHALL BE TAKEN UP IN THE MIDST OF THE WHIRLWIND OF WILBERFORCE…!

I heard the Spirit say, “WATCH! FOR THE WHIRLWIND OF MY SPIRIT IS NOW BLOWING FORTH UPON THIS NATION, WATCH! AS THE MANTLE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL IS TAKEN UP IN THE MIDST OF THE WHIRLWIND OF WILBERFORCE IN THIS NEXT SEASON…WATCH AND PRAY FOR MANY HAVE CRIED OUT “WILL THIS NATION BURN HOT ONCE AGAIN?” AND I SAY, WATCH FOR SURELY THE FIRES OF REVIVAL SHALL BURN AS THE HEART OF THIS NATION IS TURNED”..!

Veronika then quotes; ‘Suddenly the vision shifted again and I saw the nation as a wartime merchant ship which was sailing upon the high seas. As I looked at the merchant ship, the name WINSTON CHURCHILL was quickened to me in the vision’..! from the vision and word published in HKC.

Then a fuller word came soon afterwards:

W on W and W

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND; “A WHIRLWIND OF MY GRACE WILL BRING FORTH GREAT CHANGE AND VICTORY OVER YOUR ENEMIES”..!

WATCH! WILLIAM WILBERFORCE AND WINSTON CHURCHILL SHALL BE A SIGN OF HIS ‘GRACE POURED OUT’ AND ‘VICTORY’ OVER OUR NATION…!

This afternoon as I was sitting meditating on the words God has given me in the last three years concerning the UK/BREXIT and the current political climate, I heard these words,

“MY WHIRLWIND OF GRACE SHALL BLOW FORTH UPON THIS LAND GIVING THE NATION OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND GREAT VICTORY OVER THEIR ENEMIES”..!

As I heard those words I saw Sir Winston Churchill with his famous “V” FOR VICTORY SIGN, and then I heard the sound of the Song “AMAZING GRACE” within the Whirlwind, this song was written by John Newton who worked alongside one of the greatest reformers of our time, William Wilberforce, who abolished the Slave Trade.

As I saw Winston Churchill and I heard the Sound of the Song of “Amazing Grace”, I knew the Lord was revealing to me how He is now moving strategically in our Nation at this critical time; HIS WHIRLWIND OF GRACE IS NOW BRINGING FORTH GREAT CHANGE AND VICTORY FOR OUR NATION.

Now as I stayed praying for the Nation and listening to the Spirit of God, it was quickened to me; ‘This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the LORD Almighty. 
“Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘GRACE, GRACE’ to it.
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you”, says God.’

AS I READ THAT POWERFUL VERSE, I HEARD HEAVEN DECLARE WITH A LOUD VOICE OVER GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND;

“IT’S NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT, WHO ARE YOU O GREAT MOUNTAIN THAT STANDS BEFORE THIS NATION, FOR YOU SHALL BECOME A PLAIN, LISTEN! GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, AT THE SOUND OF THE SHOUTS OF GRACE, GRACE I SHALL BRING YOU FORTH, FOR SURELY MY HANDS HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS GREAT NATION AND MY HANDS SHALL ALSO BRING IT TO COMPLETION”!

See word I posted earlier (as above); “THE MANTLE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL SHALL BE TAKEN UP IN THE MIDST OF THE WHIRLWIND OF WILBERFORCE”…!
