Revd John Kilpatrick: prophecy of internet harvest of souls

Posted on by

Watcharakuns globeThis is the 15th of ’20 Prophetic Words and Words of Knowledge for 2016 and Beyond’, as given to pastor John Kilpatrick by the Lord and delivered 8th January, as in the previous post.

John pauses during his lengthy delivery to preface this particular prophecy,

“Early in the morning on January 1st 2016, just about a week ago – (looking up from the notes to stress) I could never have thought about this – I’d could never have dreamed this up – I know this has to be from the Lord – listen to it..”

Here’s what the Lord gave him:

“Jesus said to Simon Peter and his brothers, “I will make you fishers of men”. Jesus later gave Peter a word to go fishing and informed him that the first fish caught would contain a coin in its mouth that would be used to pay their tribute (taxes). It was supernatural provision that resulted from privileged information.

“Last Friday morning, as I was sound asleep, I heard Holy Spirit speaking directly to me. He said,

“There are usually two ways that fish are caught—with a net and on a line.”

“I was so startled that I awoke immediately and looked at my clock. It was 5:55. Now awake, I heard the Lord continue. He said that there is coming a great international harvest of souls through “the net” (Internet) and “online”. He said that the Internet will light up as Holy Spirit accelerates His mighty wonders. He also said that “the net” and “lines” will bring tremendous and miraculous provision to God’s people because time is of the essence, and the waters are abundant for harvest. A new and very powerful wind of anointing will blow through the Internet. In real time, signs and wonders will be witnessed without edit. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament will show forth His handiwork!”

Footnote: The number five is the number of grace. The Holy Spirit is revealing to us that we are in a triple grace season. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. I want everyone in this house, and especially those on “the net” and “online,” to give Him glory. Glorious days are indeed just ahead. Come on! Let’s give Him great and high praise! 2016 – “The Year of the Wind!”

NB: see Update 1 for explanation of “without edit” and Update 2 about an existing internet program of evangelism and discipleship.

RB’s notes:

  • Also, 5s could be likened to giving a ‘high five’ where two hands join together to appear as one lot of 5. That is, one conjoined 5 is made by two separate 5s belonging to different people.  So at that time of 5:55 am maybe the Lord’s doing His own ‘holy high five’ with John? Just a thought…
  • Is the transmission, or the flow, of Holy Spirit’s power possible over the internet? We can personally attest this happens: we’ve seen or heard things that carry a strong, holy anointing on various occasions and been powerfully affected. Eg. on 3rd January Nina had to take an urgent phone call and left the lounge where CHP’s service was being live streamed to our TV. Upon returning she didn’t know what the assistant pastor John Michael K was saying as he addressed the online audience direct – BUT Nina got blasted.  JM was blessing us all to receive Holy Spirit’s gifts!! So the power either came through the internet via satellite or else spiritually direct from heaven (See also Holy lightning beyond ‘The Pond’ strikes in the UK.)

Great to see Lindell Cooley leading worship on Friday at 10th anniversary of Church of His Presence (here). Let’s go back in time to a most memorable evening in mid-2006 and join him and Kelley Warren somewhere in the Caribbean.:

Ever since then that praise song stirs my spirit, especially this rendition:

Read about that event in Holy lightning beyond ‘The Pond’ strikes in the UK! and, in case anyone asks, yes that’s Heidi Baker on the steps at the start of the video clip. Later that evening the Lord took Nina swimming underwater with Him despite being in severe pain from a spinal injury that had been mis-diagnosed on that holiday. She became officially registered as permanently disabled with wheelchair but the Lord healed her, as in her powerful testimony (here).

So ‘Yes’, JESUS HAVE ALL THE GLORY, YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY – thank and praise you Lord…

You Lord Jesus, are Alpha and Omega; we give You all the glory!

You are Alpha and Omega,

We worship You our Lord.

You are worthy to be praised.

We give You all the glory,

We worship You our Lord.

You are worthy to be praised.

Let your spirit be moved and blessed by the Holy Spirit, like we were hit upon hearing this by Israel and New Breed (details and lyrics here). May it prepare us to hear Him a lot more clearly…

Millions of Muslims leaving Islam as they watch the extremism of Iranian & ISIS leaders, says a top Iranian Christian leader.

Very timely in view of Dr Stone’s word from the Lord for 2016 (paras 5 D & E refer) as well as many earlier prophecies on this matter.

joelcrosenberg's avatarJoel C. Rosenberg's Blog

hormoz-joel-sept13The violent, fanatical, and apocalyptic actions and rhetoric of the Iranian regime and the leadership of the Islamic State are causing millions of Muslimsto rethink whether they want to be part of such a religion, and many of them are turning to faith in Jesus Christ.

This is the assessment of Dr. Hormoz Shariat, a former Muslim who came to faith in Christ himself in the early 1980s. Today, Dr. Shariat is one of the the most prominent Iranian Christian pastors and evangelists in the world.

Last month, I had dinner with this dear friend, a man I call the “Billy Graham of Iran” because he is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to millions upon millions of Iranians through his 24/7 Farsi satellite television network.

We were talking about the trends he’s seeing in the Islamic world, and I left the conversation surprised by how encouraged he is. Yes, the Iranian regime and ISIS…

Dr Sharon Stone: 2016 Word of the Lord – “The momentum has shifted”

Posted on by
7

A prophetic word was brought by Dr Sharon Stone at a Christian International Europe conference on 5th December. I pray this transcript conveys the anointing of the spoken word as Sharon prophesies, teaches and points out practical applications, especially on the heavenly court.  

By way of preface Sharon asks those gathered, “Why do you need to have a word of the Lord for this season that you’re in?”, and then answers her question.:

Rev Dr Sharon Stone, courtesy CIEI believe it’s because it helps you to align with God so that you can make a difference in your world.

And that’s what all of our hearts’ desire is, but the problem is then: God’s idea of time often does not agree with our natural understanding of time. But remember this: He’s the One who made time and He made us to be aware of His timely plans.

I love what 1 Chronicles 12:32 speaks of: it says there was a tribe in Israel that knew the times and the seasons of God [‘sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel should do’]. Now Israel was always successful when they were compatible in opinion and action with God; to carry out His will, His way, in His time. Even though there were other nations who had more powerful armies and influential leaders, they could not compete with the edge of knowing what God had planned for the particular times.

Now, God is giving His children the ability of knowing His times and seasons, and not only that but also recognizing the signs of the times and correctly interpreting them. He wants you to have knowledge from Him of the course we need to take, precisely what needs to be done and how to do it.

So, when you and I choose to receive and apply God’s revelation, then we benefit from its counsel. This includes you, the church, government, leaders and those in business can all benefit when they have a timely word of the Lord and revelation to align with.

Now, when revelation is released in the spiritual realm (as today) the atmosphere begins to shift. And what happens there? The atmosphere begins to shift, it has a chain reaction causing changes in the natural realm to come to pass. And then, what seemed to be impossible before that is now possible, because God’s word is a creative word.

So, this 2016 Word of the Lord is about intentionally partnering with God’s will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. (Prays for delegates and herself to hear Him.)

1. The Voice of the Lord is a Force for a New Course! 

I want to start with revelation concerning the prophets for this season probably because it’s so near and dear to my heart – I love raising up prophets:

In prophet Elijah’s day Jezebel obtained a throne of authority in God’s covenant land. Now Elijah also had a seat of authority, but his was not given by man but it was established by God. Prophet Elijah’s authority not only countered Jezebel’s advances but it realigned Israel with the Lord and it set a new course for the future.

So with the prophets, the voice of the Lord is a force for a new course! 

  1. Prophets must now align with each other for increased revelation to release a force for a new course, as it did in Elijah’s day. You may ask me how that works and I want you to look at Psalm 29 (reads verses 3-9 aloud) We read how the thundering voice of God is so powerful, the only thing everyone could say was “Glory!” There is a fresh revelation and power coming to prophetic people that’s going to cause the Church to be struck with awe – as they were then – the only exclamation they can make is “Glory, glory!”
  2. A whole new prophetic velocity is being released. In this momentum more individuals are going to embrace the prophetic and be trained in hearing the voice of God than ever before because a whole new prophetic velocity is being released.
  3. Time to Prophesy Resurrection. Even in the last season we were prophesying like prophet Ezekiel to the scattered dry bones – “Come together, come together”. It is switched in this season; God says it’s now time to prophesy resurrection to the valley of bones. What is that resurrection? In Ezekiel 37 verse 9 (reads aloud  …lifeless bodies received resurrection, they stood up on their feet and became an exceeding great army). God is raising up prophets at this time because we’ve been speaking to the Church, “It’s time for dead bones to begin to connect and to come together”. Now God is saying “Listen, I am taking those things and the resurrection power of My Spirit is coming upon them that they might stand and be a great army”.
  4. You see, God is calling His prophets to GLOBAL government influence and impact – so you have got to begin to prophesy that resurrection power. Prophets have to align with each other also during this time because we need the increased revelation for solutions in the earth!

2. The Sovereign Court is in Session

One of my main focal points for this session is Daniel chapter 7. I have just met with many different major prophets and there was a prophetic consensus. You don’t often get that, but when you do, how precious it is – but the consensus is this: Daniel 7 is now being fulfilled. I’ll read some scriptures but what I want you to take note of is: the Sovereign Court is in session (emphases added).

v 9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire;
v10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: a thousand thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.” Did you hear that?…

  1. The Judge of the universe has now seated Himself in readiness and the book of appeals and verdicts are opened for Sovereign decisions at this time. Where our lower courts have made bad decisions our only option is to appeal to a higher court – “The Sovereign Court” to overrule. Then all the lesser courts have to align with the highest court decrees.
  2. You need to do this for your family – Job 5:8 reads; “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He provides rain for the earth; He sends water on the countryside. The lowly He sets on high and those who mourn are lifted to safety” (NIV)
  3. God wants us to appeal for our homes, He wants us to appeal for our Land!
  4. YOU are someone that during this season God wants you to know that there’s going to be divine legislation for transformation – divine legislation for transformation!

3. Time to Possess the Kingdom

What else is currently being fulfilled out of Daniel chapter 7? The time is NOW to possess the Kingdom – it says in…

v 21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
v 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

That time is NOW. Major prophets all over the world are going, “The time is now!” Now, to possess the Kingdom! We’ve been given the ability we didn’t have before – we’ve been given the “Ok”; we’ve been given the marching orders; we’ve been given the assignment.

The saints in this verse were contending against spirits of darkness, the spirits of fear and the spirit of anti-christ. It says they were being overpowered and marginalized in the midst of their challenge. But right there, there was a verdict that was released. That verdict is now forming our future. Suddenly we, the saints, are released to possess the Kingdom!

  • The momentum has just been shifted, I hope you can feel that! – in spite of very unlikely odds, the time has come for the saints to possess the Kingdom. That means to advance His Kingdom on a grand scale that couldn’t be seen before. So there’s a resurgence of the saints; that means there’s no law that cannot be changed. So it’s time to deal with what we’ve thought of as lost causes (eg. abortion and same-sex marriage) for the Court of Heaven is seated, the books opened and He’s waiting for the Church to rise up and say “Enough is enough” and divine intervention is going to come from the Ancient of Days.

As I pondered these things, I heard the Lord say this;

“You are the power behind the Throne.”

I knew He was speaking of us, the Church. What does that mean? It means we are the “Shadow Government” of the government in the earth. A shadow government is an invisible authority demonstrating that power resides not only with publicly elected representatives or monarchy, but with the Ecclesia, the Church – you and I.

The Sovereign Court of Heaven is the place where appeals and decrees will shift nations regardless of the earthly government.

  • The Ecclesia will function to advance Kingdom territory – they’re going to use the Keys of David. What are these?  Revelation 3:7-8 says “…He who holds the key of David. What He opens no-one can shut, and what He shuts no-one can open.” Why of David and not Moses or Abraham? David was the only one who was a prophet, a priest and a king. Those are keys to nations. We’ve seen people in times past who’ve used these keys to open up our cities and our nation for revivals, for miracles, for awakening.
  • We want to learn how to do the same thing with the Key of David that the Spirit of the Lord has given us. When we use that key in pray and worship it looks like this: when David functioned as a priest his prayer was petitional and worship was devotional…but we want to move on and as a prophet, the prayer and worship is full of targets, of detail, clarity and of revelation…but when he operated governmentally in the kingship anointing we have governmental prayer and apostolic courtroom worship. That’s how we function now as kings. These keys will open up the Kingdom of God’s advancing transformation in the earth, for this is a year of staking claim to the land and of possessing the land

4. Increase in Authority

  1. Complacency is breaking off God’s sons and daughters.They will not just believe “that someone else will go”, but they will act on God’s behalf and say as Isaiah said; “Here am I send me.” (Isa 6:8) [RB: Similarly, with boy Samuel when lying down by the Ark of the Covenant when the Lord stood beside and called him then he responded, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening”. 1Sam 3]
  2. We are going from faith to faith as a new measure of authority is released into the earth. Faith will appropriate this authority that has already been given. The authority of the Lord is increasing as we passionately follow Him and it’s coinciding with our expanding territory to impact and to steward the work of the Lord.

With every new endeavor or territory that God assigns to us there is the responsibility that comes with it. Your new authority is needed, for your new territory because it comes with obstacles that can only be overcome by it. So I want to talk about revelation this season of what are some of our obstacles – not that we won’t have some that are the same but what are the ones unique to this season?

5. Unique Obstacles

  1. Persecution of Christians will increase in this season…Remember, prophetic prayer worship and prophetic warfare sounds can still reach where you cannot, resulting in opening of prison doors, just like it did for those in the Bible.
  2. Main obstacle is Fear. Be really careful not to allow yourself to be motivated by fear or to the fear that’s released in the atmosphere – not to live under it; you affect the atmosphere rather than living under it! |Even when hearing of wars and rumours of wars – they’re going to be part of our existence from now on – do not let that shake you because fear is the opposite of faith and it will rob you of your faith. Instead, know this is the time for you to expand and be blessed, to create new things (including wealth, the Bible says), to bring forth words of life that heal. The world needs hope and God has called you to demonstrate His love and His power for Christ in you is the hope of glory!
  3. National security/immigration. There will be greater focus on national security so the Lord will give guidance for praying and use your prayer language to reveal the will of God. Likewise, we need a solution from heaven for the issues of immigration.
  4. The economy. I don’t believe it’s about a falling economy but I believe the Spirit of the Lord has said another credit crunch is coming. It not something to pray and avoid but is one of those things that’s still balancing and exposing for we should pray that the systems and kingdoms of this world might be transformed by the will of heaven.
  5. Racial division in the earth will bring unrest. The Lord says this can be downsized or avoided as pastors/leaders pray and decree for racial unity from the pulpit. They must also demonstrate working together with other pastors/leaders. Racial division can be downsized through prayer.
  6. Rise in terrorism and insurgent attacks will continue. We’re going to see a greater increase of one-man terror assaults (many small attacks). They will seem to be disjointed and random but the Spirit of God says; “They’re not”. But can I take you to look at the word that releases fear in people, like ‘cancer’ used to. That word is:
    1. ‘ISIS’ – Isis is the name of an Egyptian god. Note that I’m speaking of demonic spirits, NOT Muslim people – Egyptian god spirits, not Muslims. But it is not a coincidence this army has laid claim to the area of the Middle East that the Lord claims as His own in Isaiah 19, because it’s a spirit behind the army that wants to halt God’s plans. Let’s look at chapter 19 verses:
    2. v 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt…
      v 20 And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt…
      v 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria… v 24 …Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria…
      v 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.” (Please read those carefully later…)
    3. One motive of the demonic spirits behind ISIS is to try to halt the Isaiah 19 Highway. The Lord has miraculously freed His people from Pharaoh’s oppression and these scriptures tell us God will do it again, but this time it will include Egypt and Syria. And the gods of Egypt will be toppled again – the result is multitudes are going to be delivered and awakened to their Lord Jesus Christ.
    4. ‘ISIS’ will continue to operate for a time, because one of the reasons is that true motives of the spirit behind Islam are being exposed to many people who have a searching heart. Like Haman, the Lord will allow ISIS to prepare its own gallows, waiting for the Esther intercessors to re-write the decrees – remember the book is open and the Judge is seated.
    5. Greater shakings to be experienced in the Middle East as division comes upon the “House of Islam”.
      Mark 3:25 gives us our prayer strategy; “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” We need to and it is time to use the same strategy against Satan that he has used against the Church; and that is division. This is a time for praying increased division between the demonic powers behind Islam. Continue to pray for the conversion of terrorists as well as for the halting of activity and for preserving people. Remember Saul the terrorist became Paul the Apostle in Acts 9.

6. We have had Restoration of Apostles, but now it is a Time for Apostolic Action.

  1. The Day of the Saints is what my father in the Lord, Bishop Bill Hamon of Christian International, calls this season. This the anointing and movement of the apostolic, not just the restoration of the apostles. So we are anointed to equip people to be “Sent Ones” with signs, wonders and miracles. They’re on assignment to bring transformation into their territory and they get to build apostolically during this time.
  2. Time to Build Apostolically
    This begins with the Church again being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, so there are some shiftings that are going on around the earth right now. This foundation is being restored in a new dimension of God’s government. He is giving us fresh strategies for today and so new blueprints to build are being released to enable the Church to partner with God in this new mandate. For some it will look like a redevelopment plan, but for all participating it will be structures that are going to accommodate an incredible harvest. There’s going to be blueprints for finances, strategies for raising, equipping and sending of the saints – and it will seem to many like an acceleration time. Apostolic/Prophetic churches and centres will multiply. So we get to “Arise and Build” and be the victorious Church that the gates of hell cannot stand against. I love that! Now because the Lord is building His house, it says when the Lord builds the house our labours will not be in vain. So we’re not building out of religious ritual or tradition, even though we’re building territorially, because we’re bringing the will of heaven right into our communities and into our nation. With this going on…

7. There is an Agitation of Wineskins

Luke 5:37-38. “And no man puts new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the wineskin, and be spilled, and the wineskins shall perish. But new wine must be put into new wineskins; and both are preserved.”

Individually and corporately, we/Church are these containers. Jesus is telling us that we must have a capacity to hear a fresh word from Him to build apostolically. And what’s happening?

  • There is a catch-up movement of the Holy Spirit very similar to the Charismatic movement when Holy Spirit poured out into all denominations regardless of the name over the door. So there’s coming another season like that into denominational streams and old wineskins, giving people an opportunity to update before the coming evacuation from old wineskins – some say “Update before evacuate”, but we need to know that’s of God’s agenda.  There are some old spiritual wells that have to be re-dug but there are vast new glory spots of revival springing up throughout the earth that God wants you to partner with in Him.

Prophet Jane Hamon has a great revelation that during this time of:

  • the spirit of Leviathan being stirred to resist this awakening and new wineskin and revival, and to stagnate and stalemate the Church in our nations. She saw Leviathan resisting awakening on every hand. Churches would be resisting the awakening, most media will ridicule it, and the government in places would even try to stop it – but the spirit behind it is Leviathan. [See 2016 “Awakening”.]

The Hebrew word Leviathan actually means “to mourn.” The enemy’s strategy has been to get the church into a place of mourning over things that have gone against us and to immobilize us with a sense of hopelessness. God is waiting on His people to engage in battle, which would release them to move forward and deal with the resistance. We have to shake ourselves and awaken from the grief and mourning over the dead past. People are being awakened in the world and the Church needs to be awakened to go to them!

8. Awakening, Harvest, Reformation and Transformation

  1. As we are coming upon the 500th anniversary since the Great Reformation (Martin Luther), Kingdom understanding of what’s going on in the atmosphere right now is creating links between awakening, harvest, reformation, and transformation. There is a shifting of the Saints into the Great Transformation of the Church for the Transformation of our nations. So…
  2. We’re on the verge of another Great Awakening and the chains of hope deferred are breaking off you and off churches right now. The prayer army is being awakened first and coming out of their slumber. An awakening is taking place in the Church. A remnant is arising, they’ve been maturing, they’re increasing there’s a momentum being gained. There will be an increase in God’s manifest glory and His healings. There’s going to be a voice of truth and righteousness with no compromise that will not be silent. God’s people will be known for their boldness and love. And apostolic, prophetic churches and centres are multiplying at this time. Also, there’s a greater move of the Holy Spirit upon children and they will be awakened in the middle of the night and hear the Lord, as did the child Samuel.
  3. It is also the Beginning of a Great Harvest! There is a fresh release of labourers empowered by the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. Believers are going to realise they’re “sent ones” now, into the fields of Harvest.
  4. Prophetic Evangelism is going to be a main tool the Spirit of God will use and so it’s time to get trained in those areas. It’s going to have its greatest harvest during this season as a major strategy for Kingdom advance.

9. Unity

Christian fellowship is a key aspect of Christian life. Coming together in love, faith and encouragement is an element of family and authentic relationships. We cannot influence society with the truth of who Jesus Christ is without that love for God and for each other that He wants us to have. We need those authentic relationships. As corporate church flows in unity we’re going to see God’s presence with a mighty outpouring of signs, wonders and miracles. God’s people are going to rise in this pressure of current world situation and we’re going to create a unity in the Kingdom of God and the House of God that’s without precedent in former generations!

I believe Heaven is actually standing to attention and they’re waiting – there’s almost with an intake of breath – waiting for the prayers of God’s people to link arms and to fight as one. It’s an incredible time and, as a matter of fact, Psalm 133 says this is what’s going to release, this unity will release the commanded blessing of the Lord.

10. Nations

The next area of revelation that God is speaking is concerning the nations and here in Europe we need to know – even if we read the news we would hear this –

    1. Europe is shaking in disunity in the EU. But there is also a different shaking going on – there’s a clash of the Kingdoms in Europe. This conflict begins in Europe but it negatively spreads to the nations of the earth if God’s people do not pray…This clash of the Kingdoms will also cause the Church to awaken and arise, and what will happen is a fresh joinings of passion for the Lord as a war cry is raised from the Church. Intimacy and warriors – it’s an incredible time…and coming from the voice of the Church in Europe! Remember, this conflict is for who’s going to rule, who’s going to sit on the throne of nations? We have a King of Kings and a Lord of Lords – we’re going to give Him His inheritance: the nations!
      Re. our most recent history, Cindy Jacobs says: “Through crises the enemy has used a Trojan Horse to enter Europe. But God says; ‘I have a plan for a sweeping awakening of Europe and the nations of the earth, to actually reap a harvest of the Muslims nations“. So God is going to turn that Trojan Horse around for the benefit of harvest.
    2. The church in England will see it’s true Apostles rise and build.
    3. The church in Wales is about to birth an end-times prayer movement.
    4. The church in Ireland will water itself in great intercession and see an early harvest of souls.
    5. There is a fire beginning to burn in Scotland.
    6. The church in France is rising in power.
    7. The church in Germany will begin to show its strength.
    8. Netherlands, God is giving you watchmen assignments for the EU, the European economy and terrorist attacks against your country.
    9. Spain will become a focus for the spirit of Islam…but the true Church is also rising up in Spain.
    10. Russia. Putin will continue to stir unrest in the world with his alignments. Yet God is moving in the Church in Russia and especially a move of God among the young and next generation in Moscow.
    11. Small embers are beginning to burn for God in Estonia, Siberia and Serbia.
    12. Ukraine has a strong underground church forming that will ignite this nation for God.

You know, we’re beginning this year with a grace of empowerment to be more than conquerors. What an amazing way: that’s how God is causing us to move into this year!

Psalm 110:3 Your people will be Your love offerings like living sacrifices spilled out before You. In the day of Your mighty power, You will be exalted and in the brightness of Your holy ones You will shine, as an army arising from the dawning rays of a new day.

There are so many of us forerunners in all spheres that are being matured and being promoted into fresh intimacy and authority this year – make sure you grab hold of that!

I actually believe you can hit that reset button in this season. Go before God and set that rest button in the areas you need to reset…because God wants so much for you than you want for yourself.

Sharon closes with a strong encouragement that we’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, some of whom we know personally – there’s many more of them than of us!

“I believe that we’re on a fresh momentum with the shifting of the saints to possess the Kingdom, that’s going to cause us to finish well.

“God bless you and be blessed in 2016.”

Selah!

BBC headlines quote Queen proclaiming the Gospel on Christmas Day

Posted on by

In delighted astonishment we heard BBC News voice-over-video headlines announce on Christmas Day that the Queen had said,

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Moreover, I realised that by declaring a scriptural statement as Head of the Church of England and hereditary Defender Of The Faith, and in its being heralded and announced by national media, our longest reigning monarch’s biblical declaration has the power of a prophetic decree. (If you’re unfamiliar with this principle see this two-part report on spiritual alignment and decrees.)

The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast to the Commonwealth follows the pattern set by King George V (her grandfather) in the very first broadcast in 1932. Upon introducing this startling innovation he opened it with, “I speak now from my home and from my heart to you all“.

Yearly our sister in the Lord refers to her Christian belief as a source of inspiration and comfort. This Christmas Her Majesty made no bones about the majesty of her faith, as in forthright yet gracious remarks about the Good News of God in the birth of Jesus Christ..

Soon after opening, Her Majesty speaks about reflecting upon the year’s events,

“Many people say the first Christmas after losing a loved one is particularly hard. But it’s also a time to remember all that we have to be thankful for.

“It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.”

Jesus’ Message of Love

She continues by referring to the custom Queen Victoria and Prince Albert introduced of using fir-trees at Christmas, and every year since WWII the people of Oslo send a huge tree for erection in Trafalgar Square. (Over 1,000 years ago our Saxon kings brought our ancient Viking enemies to Christ, especially Olaf 1 of Norway.)

Furthermore, Her Majesty related this and Jesus’ birth to the contemporary migration of refugees to Europe:

“…(this London tree) has five hundred light-bulbs and is enjoyed not just by Christians but by people of all faiths, and of none. At the very top sits a bright star, to represent the Star of Bethlehem.

“The custom of topping a tree also goes back to Prince Albert’s time. For his family’s tree, he chose an angel, helping to remind us that the focus of the Christmas story is on one particular family.

“For Joseph and Mary, the circumstances of Jesus’s birth — in a stable – were far from ideal, but worse was to come as the family was forced to flee the country. It’s no surprise that such a human story still captures our imagination and continues to inspire all of us who are Christians, the world over.

“Despite being displaced and persecuted throughout his short life, Christ’s unchanging message was not one of revenge or violence but simply that we should love one another. Although it is not an easy message to follow, we shouldn’t be discouraged; rather, it inspires us to try harder: to be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives, and to look for ways of spreading that love to others, whenever and wherever we can.” (Emphasis added.)

Read her message in full on the official website The British Monarchy, or watch the above video.

A couple of Press reports

In Monarch quotes from Bible to address a nation shaken by a year of atrocities, the Telegraph’s religious affairs team open as follows,

‘The Queen used her Christmas Day broadcast to make one of her most overtly religious addresses to the nation in recent years. Quoting directly from the Gospel of John, she spoke of light which “shines in the darkness” which she described as a “verse of great hope”.

‘Her comments come at the end of a year in which Britain has been stunned by terrorist atrocities, from the mass shootings and bombings in Paris last month to the gun attack at a Tunisia resort during the summer.

 ‘Reflecting on the past 12 months, the monarch said: “It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year. But the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.”

That broadsheet’s Boxing Day editorial also notes,

‘Britain’s religious leaders are in the mood for telling home truths. In a stark Christmas sermon, the Most Rev Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, compared the Jihadist threat to King Herod, to whom Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, also alluded. In the Bible, Herod orders the massacre of young children in a delirious attempt to kill Jesus Christ. In today’s Middle East, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) is no less bloodthirsty.

‘It murders critics and religious minorities, enforcing its religious code with violence. It represents a fanatical perversion of Islam, and to defeat it, the West must understand its motivations. Religious leaders, educated in theological nuance, are well placed to decode its language. Archbishop Welby told congregants that it seeks to trigger an “apocalypse… defined by themselves and heralded only by the angel of death”. Isil cannot coexist with Western democracy. It is hell-bent on destroying it.’

I’ve underscored the essential key to the solution that too many illiterate and misinformed political leaders have totally ignored to people’s peril.

There is more Encouragement for the Dawn of 2016, as reported by Prophecy Today UK:

“Despite all the problems our nation has faced over the last year, we at Prophecy Today found a little encouragement over the Christmas season to hear the Prime Minister’s affirmation of Christian values in our nation (see latest – RB) and also the Education Secretary’s resolve to promote the Christian heritage of Britain in our schools.”

It will be interesting to watch how all this may tie in with prophetical words received lately and being delivered in the coming months…

Rejoice! The Lord Almighty has sent His Joy into the world.

I make no apology if you’ve already seen this splendid celebration! Be thoroughly blessed!

Published 5th December 2013 it’s amassed over 15 MILLION HITS on YouTube! Starting with a single cellist on the floor of the National Air and Space Museum’s “Milestones of Flight” gallery, and swelling to 120 musicians, The U.S. Air Force Band exhilarated museum visitors with its first-ever flash mob. The four-minute performance featured an original arrangement of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring/Joy to the World,” led by the band’s commander and conductor, Col. Larry H. Lang. Unsuspecting museum visitors including tourists and school groups were astonished as instrumentalists streamed into the gallery from behind airplanes and space capsules, and vocalists burst into song from the Museum’s second floor balcony.

Advent True Story: part 2 – Night Visitor Breaks In!

Posted on by

(Continuing the personal account in commemoration of victims of terrorism and the 4th anniversary of both posts’ publication.)

That night of 14th September’s second visit was far more challenging than polite Peter’s chat –  this time it was life or death!

And I went back in time!

Stepping into my ‘time machine’ I found myself in a most unusual dream. One so lucid that, over twenty years later, it remains vividly etched within me. So it must be exceptionally significant.  Come back with me :

I find myself in the lounge of my childhood home and in front of the large casement window abutting one corner of the room.  I look up into the inky, dark night sky.

A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”  (Occasionally in dreams I’d be aware of dreaming and could change the scenario.)

I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ appears from the right and heads towards the first.

Now, the dream changes gear (rather, goes up a level) from the normal mixture of mental material > to that of absolutely convincing lucidity:

The ‘light goes on’!  In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers – I didn’t know Jesus appeared as the commander of the Lord’s host, or angels, to Joshua when outside Jericho. Here, I cannot see any individuals but have inner knowledge of the situation.)

I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO!  Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!

All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night. 

Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!

Beyond any doubt I realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!

“My number’s up!” I groan, inwardly trembling in knowing I’m about to die at any moment and an invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into hell.

Uttermost mortal terror strikes and I dive right under the drop-leaf table in the other  corner of the room to hide from Jesus. But he knows where I’m hiding and swoops down straight through the wall at the side of the window to stand in my room and right beside the table!

Cowering under the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the waist down, his face out of sight above the table.

Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…

As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…

Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!

The event reminds me of an evocative small picture that impressed me as a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

2ndAdventDiagm

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought through his Holy Spirit in convicting me of my personal sinfulness (ie. wrongdoing) and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace (ie. undeserved favour).

Also,  what happened when I touched Jesus proves he’s intimately acquainted with the private details of my thoughts as a little boy.  The last moments of the dream show he will topple my childish concepts of him and thus hint at his replacing them with a sure knowledge of his true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111). Mercifully, he plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into his own and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

The most remarkable, life changing dream I’d ever had. Therefore, over several months I carefully reconsidered all my New Age notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none whatsoever like this!

The only remotely similar dream was that of an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light.  However, ecstasy then turned to abject terror at the sight of an approaching hideous, devouring beast of blackness far worse than any nightmare!  (I didn’t take drugs.)  In this dream, however, fear had been overcome by Jesus himself and his wonderful mercy and love – and pervasive peace.

REALITY CHECK

Time now to take a reality check. We’ll find this story can be validated and in three ways! The first confirmation was to come from an unexpected source…as herein.

Update on comments on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s faith

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby (Reuters)

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby (Reuters)

Some who read the previous post soon after its publication may not know the Archbishop of Canterbury has since explained on his official blog what he’d said in a televised interview.

I inserted that original material in my blog whilst prepping the draft because it illustrates what we’re seeing happen, even to believers, as prophesied about global events by Nathan Morris.

So I wrote as follows but have amended (emboldened text) the closing paragraph  to reflect Justin Welby’s update:

‘Consider this with yesterday’s headline ‘Paris attacks made me ‘doubt’ presence of God, admits Archbishop of Canterbury’, as in yesterday’s BBC Songs of Praise. (See also The Independent and Daily Mail.)  Justin Welby candidly admits the massacre caused him to doubt where God is and why it happened and that it made a “chink in his armour”.

‘BUT the Press fails to quote him in full – what’s new? In telling presenter Aled Jones of his seeking and engaging the Lord over the issue, Justin was asked, “What answers did He give you?” – he replied:

“He said, “In the middle of it”! And also an answer from the Psalms, Psalm 56 – ‘He stores up our tears in a bottle’. None of our sufferings are lost!”

‘See also Justin Welby’s official site for his Statement on Paris Attacks, as well as a blog published after this one was posted and in which His Grace explains Why Arguing with God is not the same as not believing in him. Interesting to read because it’s easy to infer from the references to two psalms how much the BBC edited out of the interview. What else would we expect in view of its jaundiced, inaccurate coverage of Israel, as monitored by BBC Watch?‘

Birmingham, 16th January – Exposing the spirits of jezebel & antichrist

Posted on by

Harvest Church eventOver lunch with William Smith, author of Feasting on the Father and his wife Susanna yesterday we discussed the undesirable and adverse effect of church leaders who let a controlling, religious spirit – which is demonic and thus divisive – quench things of the Holy Spirit within church; even resulting in churches splitting up!  Now hasn’t that been a strategy of satan since the days of the first disciples and throughout church history?

There are even well-intentioned prayer meetings that study the Word of God supposing certain scriptures as suitable for the purposes of intercession, but which are adamant in not listening to what the Lord has to say, as though blocking ears when direct words or pictures are brought from the Lord!  As Dr Sharon Stone oft states: “The religious spirit hates the spirit of prophecy” (let’s recall Revelation 19:10 – the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy).

So the news of an event I received the same morning, which would enable the Bride to discern and overcome the adversary’s strategies and facilitate moving into the new era of the church, would be exceptionally timely, essential instruction and ministry:

Harvest Ministries recommends Exposing the Spirits of Jezebel and of Antichrist to anyone in church leadership of any kind, is involved in the prophetic or has a healing ministry. Harvest Ministries is associated with The Revival Alliance.

This one day event is hosted by Harvest Ministries with teaching by Wes Boxall, who has pastored for over 20 years. He has done extensive research into the spirits of Jezebel, Anti-Chris and Mammon. He has discovered, startlingly, these spirits directly oppose and counterfeit the Godhead! These divisive spirits would like nothing more than to tear-down, divide, exhaust and otherwise incapacitate the church.

This day is likely be as shocking as it is informative!

However we, as the church, cannot afford to allow these spirits to influence our lives. As we step up, and step out, into our destinies and spiritual gifts, we must be on guard and resist the enemy.

Chuck Pierce et al: key prophetic revelation – a turning point

Posted on by
Reply

“We truly are at a “turning point” in the Church and God is doing a NEW thing in us and through us. We are at a shift and transition unlike any other time we’ve experienced before…and He is preparing His Church.

“Chuck Pierce is one I highly regard and look up to, to understand the times and seasons and where God is leading us. Below are the latest prophetic words and revelations from Chuck Pierce and his team…and all I can say is, “Wow!” (Steve Schultz, The Elijah List.)

The following prophetic words were brought on Sunday 1st November through Chuck Pierce, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otxoa, Brian Kooiman, Lisa Lyons, Melinda Richardson.

Click for video and on following sub-header for original Elijah List post plus prophetic dreams and interpretations. Observations appended below refer to paragraphs with [number suffix].

THIS IS THE DAY OF THE TURNING POINT!

chuckpierce[1]I would say to you, “Embrace your turning point. Over this past season you’ve been sifted and you’ve been strained, and you have even fought for your very breath. But this is a day of change! This is a day of rearranging! This is a time that I AM sending a three-fold cord of empowerment into your soul that cannot be broken. For many of your nerves were strained and broken over the last seven years. Many covenants that you thought would last are now lying by the wayside.

“I am now sending a three-fold cord to reform, and to restore, and to rebuild. I am causing My restoration of your future to begin to rise. Step into the well and the water that is now stirring and moving. Watch Me begin to wash away what strained you. Watch Me cause you to shine. Watch Me give you new territory for this season. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

“You have heard Me release Safe Passage. You have heard Me release Turning Point. But now you will see and hear Me as I come forth as Redeemer, Restorer, and Rebuilder. I am sending angels connected with these three dimensions of transformation. What was broken will be fixed, brought forth, and renewed.

“When you look at yourself don’t look for the pot or vessel that you were. I’ve had to disconnect elements from how you were built, crush, and then add new liquid that would cause you to be made into a structure for the future. What I am rebuilding, restoring and redeeming will look different from anything you expected from the past. Others that look you at would say, ‘Who is this person?’

“Your heel will crush the head of the snakes you’ve seen in the past. The attacks you’ve seen between brothers and brothers, and sisters and sisters – look ahead and see the covenant that I have been developing. I will send My people realigned into the enemy’s camp. This realigned army will defeat the enemy and the booty will be brought to My Kingdom. You will fight alongside those you thought were sifted away. I am restoring an army in a new way, and I am realigning a new day.

“For I am bringing down the Ancient Book with mysteries. These books carry the strategies for legislators of the Kingdom. These strategies contain revelation for a new dimension of Kingdom power. These strategies will overtake the enemy in every region that I assign you to. So receive the books – the Ancient Books – that carry the strategies of the legislation of God.” [1]

“I Need You! Therefore, I Am Drawing You!”

“This will be a time that I will release a new seeking draw upon your life. You will begin to seek Me and long for Me. You will begin to say, ‘I must have intervention! I must have a breaking-in of God’s presence and His life!’ I am going to draw you, and you will seek Me in a way you haven’t sought Me! You will know Me in a way you haven’t known Me! Feel the drawing, and submit to the drawing. Watch your new level of seeking begin. I will draw you into that which you have been longing to experience.

“For this is a time that I am beginning to brood and reform in a new way. For there are things that I have longed to see come into the earth realm. As My people gather and loose the sound of Heaven, I will hover and rearrange chaos. I am calling My people into a new place of alignment. My army is beginning to assemble. A new sound of joy, a new sound of laughter, and a new demonstration of power is beginning to arise. Allow My Spirit to brood over you. As I meet with you, you will see the two ends that could not meet in the last season begin to form a new line of demarcation. [2]

“Your praise and worship are rising as an occupying force in the spirit realm. There is a rout (sic) taking place in the spirit world! This will only increase. There is a displacement coming in the second heaven from the worship and praise of My people as they seek My Spirit and respond to all I am offering them.” [3]

“I Am Rearranging Your Past Confusion!”

“I have been rearranging your confusion, for you have not been able to see the joy in the midst of the chaos around you. This will be a time that I draw out the joy that is in you. I have placed you in that chaos that is around you to produce joy. If you will release the joy that I have developed within you, the chaos will subside and you will see the order around you.

“It’s not how eloquently or long you pray! The key is the ONE WORD of faith. As you speak that one word, your situation will change. Do not let the downdraft pull you down into the circumstances that are surrounding you. Remain buoyant with that one word. The one word is your breakthrough in this season.

“Declare breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough into everything that seems chaotic. Your buoyant faith is what causes you to arise in the midst of everything that is trying to pull you down. Don’t stop at one breakthrough, but go from breakthrough to breakthrough until you are beyond breakthrough.

“My Names that you have built within you in the past season will now come into fullness. This will cause angelic armies to align with you and push you through the atmosphere that is attempting to hold you. Every force must bow! It is not the mere words that you speak, but it is the one effective word that causes a ‘bulls-eye’ shot.” [4]

(Prophetic dreams with interpretation follow…as here.)

Observations:

As well as confirming several recent words (eg. James Bailey: My people have reached a tipping point), I was struck by these words in particular.:

  1. ‘Ancient Books’: last month I discussed with Nelson Walters the book referred to in Daniel 12 and his concluding it’s very likely the Lamb’s Book of Life. I pointed out Daniel 10 refers to it as ‘writings of Truth’ and Daniel 7 refers to other books being opened, as well as insights gained independently by Paul Keith Davis and Bobby Conner in December 2000. (See Is the Book of Daniel Unsealed in Dan 12? and comments thread.)
  2. ‘Allow My Spirit to brood over you’: this, together with ‘I will hover’, ‘new place of alignment’, ‘My army is beginning to assemble’.. ‘a new demonstration of power beginning to arise’, all remind me of Charles Shamp’s: Prophetic Prayer Points for 2015-2020 published on New Year’s Day and his teaching in A scriptural context of the 4th lunar eclipse of the ‘Blood Moon Tetrad’.
  3. ‘Praise and worship..an occupying force…’: More biblical boasting on who Jesus is quotes Pat Schatzline that the days ahead will require a new level of praise.
  4. ‘My Names..come into fullness’: echoes Pat’s “bragging” on Jesus’ identity in Old and New Covenants as well as in Hebrew – Let’s continue boasting…

About Chuck:

Charles D. “Chuck” Pierce serves as President of Global Spheres, Inc. (GSI) in Corinth, Texas; an apostolic, prophetic ministry used to gather and mobilize the worshipping Triumphant Reserve throughout the world. He’s also President of Glory of Zion International Ministries, a ministry that aligns Jew and Gentile.

Chuck is well known for an accurate prophetic gifting which helps direct nations, cities, churches, and individuals in understanding the times and seasons in which we live. It was through Rev Dr Sharon Stone in 2004-5 that I learned about his ministry and later I read about Chuck’s vision of ‘crossed swords’ over London and word connected with Big Ben when en-route to Nigeria. The need for action was so urgent they called 40-days intercessory prayers. The teams were to meet at the end of that period but, upon leaving Euston station on foot, Sharon and her companion Martha Lucia were met by the devastated double decker London bus blown up during the bomb attacks on London Transport. (See ‘2005’ sub-pages to Library of Prophecies for UK.)

Also, three years later he had a vision of the United States being divided and separated like the Grand Canyon, as well as in 2013 of a 3-year unlocking and shaking with the War of the Kingdoms.  In early 2012 he brought encouragement of the Lord doing a new thing in England. For these and more on this blog click tag ‘Pierce’.

Profound prophetic word: “My people have reached a tipping point”

This prophetic word brought by James Bailey and published on Z3 News resonates with and amplifies many words received about the Lord’s worldwide action. On a personal note, James’ opening remarks reflect what’s happened this week through God-incidents with this blog and email. James writes:

MY PEOPLE HAVE REACHED A TIPPING POINT

church_doors-235x350I started noticing changes. It has been over a week ago, increased intensity with increased excitement. It hasn’t gone away. It has increased more. Here is what I heard today:

“Just as the world has reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming, so have My people reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming. Just as the world has cast out all restraint and entered into lawlessness, so have My people cast out fear and entered into fellowship, closer fellowship with Me. Because where there is fear there is torment and I do not want My people in torment, but My perfect love casts out all fear until the only thing left is fellowship, loving fellowship.”

“Things are beginning. Things that I have promised from long ago are now coming to pass. This is the day and the hour that you have awaited, that you have wanted to come for so long. Now it is here. Now it has come. I claim you to be My own. Deeper intimacy, this is what you have wanted. It has come. Stronger fellowship, this is what has come, greater peace, greater love, and far greater joy! For you belong to Me now.”

“I want you to walk with Me in fellowship like never before. I want you to know Me. Bind your heart to Me like never before. Make My paths straight before you. Let your feet never veer off course, neither to the right nor to the left, but stay on My path, for I put before you things that I, and only I, have desired from long ago, for you to know. But if you want to discover them, you will only find them on My path, which I put before you.”

“The day and the hour have finally come. My people get ready, for before you I leave an open door, and I say I am that door. So walk in, enter into the fellowship that I set before you. Come into the place. The table is set. The banquet is ready. I have prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies and they will know that I am before you and you are before Me. They will see it in the midst of you. They will know it and they will declare, I am the Lord God Almighty.”

“Make known my innermost counsel. Make known My plans before men. Make known My heart and My will and My purpose and My plan. Make known all things I declare to you. Make known My will above the plans of men, above the will of men. Make My plans clear. Make them known and let them be established in the earth.”

Lion Bites: the refining fire

Posted on by
10

Today’s Lion Bites word from Glasgow continues the earlier Invite My Fire! and I pray it deeply blesses you too:

THE REFINING FIRE

fire-of-Holy-Spirit-300x194Are you really ready for the heat to be turned up? With more heat comes more refining, more purity and a heart that ignites, burning with a fire for Him. The Lord is a consuming fire. Will you allow Him to burn up all the dross, so that what is left is pure gold?

Others may not like (they may be challenged by) what you carry. Because of the level of purity they may not be able to stand around you. Nevertheless, sons and daughters of the King, God will use you if you choose to allow Him to turn up the heat and ignite you afresh.

He will use His radiant, ‘on-fire’ ones like lasers. Just as a laser is super-concentrated energy that can cut out diseased flesh (in the hands of a skilled surgeon) to allow for new growth, so He will use those who allow Him to refine in the fire. Choose to be one who goes through the refining: be on fire, be pure, be concentrated, be accurate, be like refined gold. Speak out the Father’s words of life and truth wherever you go.

1 Peter 1:7
…so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Let’s continue boasting about who Jesus is…

566xNxfiery-furnace_jpg_pagespeed_ic_aXtdrK6kJ2Continuing the previous post, we exalt with Pat Schatzline the identity of the fourth man in the fiery furnace, whom Nebchadnezzar described as a ‘Son of God’ and officially declared and affixed his royal seal thereto that,

“…No other god can save in this way!”

Excitedly, Pat continues recounting His identities in the New Covenant as follows:

“Hallowed be Thy Name”:

  • in Matthew, He is The Messiah.
  • in Mark, He is the Wonder-worker.
  • in Luke, He is the Son of Man.
  • in John, He is the Son of God.
  • in Acts, He is the Holy Spirit and Fire.
  • in Romans, He is our Justifier.
  • in Corinthians, He is the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
  • in Galatians, He is the Redeemer from the curse of the law.
  • in Philippians, He is the God Who Supplies All Our Needs.
  • in Ephesians, He is the Christ of Unsearchable Riches.
  • in Colossians, He is the Godhead Bodily.
  • in 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, He is the Soon-Coming King.
  • in Timothy I and II, He is our Mediator between God and Man.
  • in Titus, He is our Faithful Pastor.
  • In Philemon, He is the Friend that Sticks Closer than a Brother.
  • in Hebrews, He is the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant.
  • in James, He is the Great Physician.
  • in I and II Peter, He is the Chief Shepherd who shall soon appear with a crown of unfading glory.
  • in I, II and  III John, He is the Everlasting Love.
  • in Jude, He is the Lord Coming with Ten Thousands of His Saints.
  • in Revelation, He is the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

“Do you know my King? Do you know the fourth Man? Lift your hands and praise…praise Him!”

Reading from the overhead screen Pat had to interrupt these exciting declarations after saying “Soon and Coming King”. Rapidly speaking under the anointing he declared,

“He just told me to remind this house who He is. There is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, not a thing! You can’t write it down because, He said to Moses “Tell them I AM sends you, Elohim, the I AM, sends you: LORD, Sovereign LORD. Tell them that’s who sends you”.

“It means I AM everything that you could ever imagine will supply My people’s needs!”

The last description applies to His Name as El Shaddai, which reminds me of how Paul Keith Davis tells of a Jewish listener saying that, “El Shaddai is the God of utter ruin and destruction, who’s able to supply all that man cannot”.

Watch this thrilling message on Church of His Presence video (start 1:39:10). Pat’s opening prophecy may be read on this blog at Revival in the USA – a prophetical perspective from ‘over The Pond’.

With grateful acknowledgement to Pat Schatzline and to CHP for the great blessing of all this information. Pat’s website is located at Remnant Ministries International.

More biblical boasting on who Jesus is…

PatSchatzline-chp‘Live wire, rapid fire’ Pat Schatzline says, “I have a sleep disorder called revelation!”.

His focus last Sunday prompted me to resurrect a ‘Do You Know Him?’ video from a menu page published in April 2012. Hence, this week’s earlier post, Let’s boast in who Jesus Christ is, because…

566xNxfiery-furnace_jpg_pagespeed_ic_aXtdrK6kJ2Pat’s message is based upon the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refusing to bow down to king Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, and the fourth man with them in the fiery furnace. The king describes him as “like a son of the gods” (Aramaic; ‘being-like to-son-of Elohim’, Daniel 4:27).

First, however, Pat stresses the importance of ‘bragging on the Lord’ because the Lord told him that’s the difference between meetings where there’s lots of healing miracles and none. Pat wants to go to churches with ‘ed’ on Sunday, where he can talk about what God did there and brag about it, all in accord with scripture!

His prophetical message (see ‘Revival on the Gulf Coast’ header here) about the new era notes that the days ahead will require a new level of praise, as in Psalm 150:1-6 and the congregation rises up with him:

“It’s what washes your mind. You gotta praise when you get up, praise when doing things in the day, praise when you go to sleep – it will keep you from doing dumb things.”

Pat’s been on a very intense journey since being there last Summer because the Lord’s been saying, “If you’ll allow me to take you to the places of revival, you’ll be part of the next one”.  So he’s been reading history books and writing one on the present lack of altar-calls to repentance, which thereby break demonic bondage rather than as in some services where demons are sanctified.

“He hasn’t abdicated! He is still on the throne and He’s calling us back to the altars…You’ve GOT to get your eyes on Him because the culture’s intense right now: right is wrong and wrong is right – faith is being challenged at every level!

“When you use scripture the world’s against you because of political correctness and so you’ve got to know who you are in Christ…

“I’m watching prophets running round who are friends of mine and they’re declaring gloom and doom. I get it – the four blood moons, the shemitah, signs and wonders on earth – I understand all that kind of stuff and believe it! But I’m watching all that and think:

“We’ve gotta talk some life here, we’ve gotta realise everybody ain’t saved yet…BUT what if we praise Him, we just praise Him!

Pat quotes 1 Peter 4:12 and 13 – ‘Dear friends do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering as though something strange were happening to you but rejoice that you participate in the suffering of Christ so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed’, reinforced by The Message version of Matthew 6:26. He continues,

“God told me what to tell you is to brag on Him and  things in your life will change – turn that stupidity off your TV! Learn to brag on Him, brag on Him, brag on Him…Look what it says in His Word at Isaiah 60:1-5,

‘Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon YOU. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn…’

Recounting, with video, the account of Daniel’s friends being saved in the furnace by the fourth man, he reminds us the king issued an Empire-wide decree that anyone saying anything against these three men’s god be executed and homes demolished. Why? Because “No other god can save in this way”!

So too, ‘the fourth man’ is with us in all our trials. As Pat struggled in the night preparing this message the Lord told him to boast about Him because of what’s about to be done and seen wherever He’s praised.

He concludes by revealing the identity of that fourth man whereby we may boast of the Father and Son; or in other words, to introduce our King:

  • in Genesis, He is the Seed of the Woman.
  • in Exodus, He is The Passover Lamb.
  • in Leviticus, He is the our High Priest.
  • in Numbers, He is the Pillar of Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night.
  • in Deuteronomy, He is the Prophet like unto Moses.
  • in Joshua, He is the Captain of our Salvation (and of the heavenly host).
  • in Judges, He is our Judge and Lawgiver
  • in Ruth, He is our Kinsman Redeemer.
  • in 1st & 2nd Samuel, He is our Trusted Prophet.
  • in Kings and Chronicles, He is our Reigning King.
  • in Ezra, He is our Faithful Scribe.
  • in Nehemiah, He is the Rebuilder of the Broken-down Walls in our lives.
  • in Esther, He is our Mordecai.
  • in Job, He is our Dayspring from on high and our Ever-living Redeemer.
  • in Psalms, He is The Lord our Shepherd.
  • in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, He is our Wisdom.
  • in the Song of Songs, He is our Lover and our Bridegroom.
  • in Isaiah, He is The Prince of Peace.
  • in Jeremiah, He is the Righteous Branch.
  • in Lamentations, He is the Weeping Prophet.
  • in Ezekiel, He is the Wonderful Four-faced Man.
  • in Daniel, He is the Fourth Man in our Fire (and Son of Man).
  • in Hosea, He is the Faithful Husband, forever married to the ‘backslider’.
  • in Joel, He is the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit and Fire.
  • in Amos, He is our Burden-Bearer.
  • in Obadiah, He is the Mighty To Save.
  • in Jonah, He is our Great Foreign Missionary.
  • in Micah, He is the Messenger of Beautiful Feet carrying the Gospel.
  • in Nahum, He is the Avenger of God’s Elect.
  • in Habakkuk, He is God’s Evangelist crying out, “Revive Thy work in the midst of the years!”.
  • in Zephaniah, He is the Saviour who sings songs over me.
  • in Haggai, He is the Restorer of God’s Lost Heritage.
  • In Zecharia, He is the Fountain Open in the House of David for sin and uncleanliness.
  • in Malachi, He is The Son of Righteousness Risen with Healing in His Wings.

“Do you know Him?

“I don’t care what you’re walking through;

“He said, if you put me as pre-eminent, I’ll change the atmosphere,

“If you’ll learn how to praise me, I’ll change the atmosphere,

“If you’ll learn how to trust me again, I’ll change the atmosphere…I have the power to transform your…to transform what’s been coming against you..”

An exceptionally inspirational message! Much of it reinforces the prophetic word from Jerusalem received on the first day of the past Feast of Tabernacles – read it again.

Also, those are Old Covenant identities of the Fourth Man – so there’s more to come in the New. First, however, let’s mull over and appreciate Who the Lord is.

Now, to continue boasting in who Jesus is >>>

Let’s boast in who Jesus Christ is, because…

Let him who boasts boast in the Lord (2 Cor 10:17 NIV)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV)

One of the latest comments on this YouTube version reads:

“I’m not looking for likes I just want to share this. I was lying in bed watching this with a badly scraped knee to where I could not move it. After 2 minutes passed a hot chill shot through my body and my pain stopped and I could fully move my leg. I felt the love and passion from God through me. Please if you believe this was the power of the loving beloved, please respond with amen. I lift your name on high.” (KPX)

Amen!

If you’re a visitor to this blog and don’t believe in Jesus Christ I invite you to consider my few notes, Do You Know Jesus?  On that page hear Shadrach Meshach Lockridge tell where God came from and how He created everything – it’s a clever, brief exposition and asks the same question, “Do you know Him?”

Dr Maurice Sklar vision: “Tell them all, the Day of The Lord is upon you now!”

As well as receiving a prophetic word re. Israel (on war, times of the Gentiles) during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles,  28 Sept – 4 Oct), Dr Maurice Sklar reported another personal experience on Facebook. Similar to the vision in chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation, it is re-posted below:

“THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!”

Dr M Sklar

Dr M Sklar

Nearly every day since I have arrived in Jerusalem this year, I have received something from God. Yesterday, as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, Connie Wilson, who was in her kitchen preparing a brunch, and who is flowing so strong in the prophetic, began to quote the old praise and worship song from Joel:” Blow the Trumpet in ZION, ZION…for the day of the LORD is….and she paused for a second…it’s HERE!”.

As soon as she spoke the word…HERE…I was caught up in a prophetic experience / vision which lasted several hours. Though I could still function in “the natural” somewhat, I was overwhelmed in my spirit. This is what I experienced:

First, I saw I was in what looked like a Cathedral, and a courtroom at the same time. There were two rows of twelve angels. One to the left and one to the right in parallel columns facing each other. They had long golden trumpets in their right hands. They simultaneously put them to their mouths and blew a long blast. It grew louder and louder until the building itself began to shake and I could not bear the sound and fell on my face. Then, after I was helped up to my feet again by my angel, I saw a majestic throne. I could see the Outline of our Heavenly Father, but I could not see his face. It was just blinding light that I could not look at for very long. Under him stood Michael the Archangel. He was a giant warrior, clothed in glorious armor and stood like a statue almost, with his arms folded. A great sword was in a sheath at his right hip. He had a bronze-like color to his face, and a grim, but noble and exalted expression. He was standing right under God’s throne and in the middle between the two columns of angels who blew the trumpets. Then, I was allowed to look around, and I saw other thrones that were grouped in a semi-circle around and above them. They had black robes on, and looked like they were judges. I knew that this must be like the Supreme Court of Heaven. As my eyes seemed to adjust to the brightness, then I could recognize some of those who were Judges in this great meeting. They were some from the Bible, and others who were from both Jewish and Christian history that were Overcomers. They were seated with crowns on their heads of stunning glory and majesty. It was clear that this meeting was extremely important and there was a great awesome holiness in the giant room. The Angels that blasted their trumpets seemed to exit to the sides of the room. Michael stood like a statue in the same place. Then, Gabriel stepped forward next to him and cried out, “THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!!” Then, in absolute unison, every one on their thrones dropped to their knees and began to worship. Then, an Angel that I could not recognize, came forward with a scroll in his hand. It had an old-fashioned type of wax-like seals on it that held it closed. There were seven big wax-like seals on it that were bright red. He gave it to the Ancient of Days who took it. Then the LORD spoke, “WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THIS? WHO IS FOUND WORTHY TO BREAK THE SEAL?” Then, every one began to weep. Suddenly, I started weeping as well. None of those great men and women were worthy. We all could see where we had sinned and failed in our lives. None were worthy. Then, the Lord Yeshua our Messiah just appeared in front of the throne, but facing us. He was looking at each of us as if we were the only ones in the room. Then, I saw he changed! He became a Lamb…then He became the biggest and most noble Lion that I had ever seen. And every few moments, He would transform from a Man, to a Lamb, and then to a Lion, and then back to a Man. When He was in the form of His body as a Man, I could see the holes in His hands. Then, he turned around and took the scroll from the Father. There was total silence. Then, a huge shout came! It seemed that all of heaven was watching and joined in! A ROAR of PRAISE erupted. Now all the Judges were on their feet. They said in unison, “WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO TAKE THE SCROLL AND LOOSE THE SEALS THEREOF!!” This proclamation, though I heard it in English, was shouted by all of heaven in every language at the same time. Yeshua then sat down on His throne next to the Father. He took the scroll, and it seemed like I zoomed in and could see it clearly. He broke the first seal, and said, as He was looking into me with His glorious eyes of fire and love, “TELL THEM ALL, THE DAY OF THE LORD IS UPON YOU NOW!”. Then the experience ended.

May God have mercy on us all! Amen and AMEN.

Dr Maurice Sklar: Blood moon prophetic word re. Israel

Posted on by

The concert violinist and Messianic Jew, Dr Maurice Sklar, was the recipient of a couple of revelatory events during The Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. The first appears below as published on Facebook (click title for original and commenting thereto). As with all prophetic words and visions both are to be weighed against scripture and with the Lord. (The second follows tomorrow – now published):

A PROPHETIC WORD:

The LORD says, “War is coming against Israel! Just as I have clearly spoken in My Word, and just as I have confirmed through my holy servants the true Prophets, I will hold it back no longer. You say to Me, “What do all of these signs converging together this month mean?” Many of My church are in fear, thinking only of doomsday and despair. Some leaders are trying to tell fortunes and predict days and times, thinking that I must do what they say when they predict it. Some are making millions of dollars by merchandising and sensationalizing these events to the point it is idolatry and distraction instead of sound prophetic ministry. I (the LORD) am far greater than your false prognosticators and charlatans. Do not follow after those deceivers – you must judge them and their ministries by their fruits and take everything you hear and judge it according to My Word.

To My beloved Bride: Look and see the signs in the heavens and upon the earth. Notice them, but don’t focus on them! Keep your eyes on Me! I am the LORD, not the sun, moon, or stars. I am greater than any event that has or will come to shake the heavens and the earth. Many of My people are crying out to Me in prayer for clarity and guidance right now. So, I will answer you… I will explain to you a little bit of what is shortly to come to pass….So your heart will not be troubled…

I am announcing to the world through these four red moons these things: Continue reading →
