End-Times Briefing 2: the ‘When?’ of Watching > NOW!

Continuing the reasons for watching for the End-times, we consider when that might happen:

WHEN?

Jesus’ major End-time teaching was given soon after leaving the Temple with some of His disciples and having foretold its complete destruction, which was to happen about 40 years later after the infamous Roman siege of Jerusalem.

Jesus on the Mount of Olives:

When He went and sat on the nearby Mount of Olives, two sets of brothers (Peter & Andrew, James & John) asked Him to expand upon that prophecy, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” (seee Mark 13, Luke 21, Matthew 24).

He answered in some depth, and by examination of the details we can conclude that not only does Jesus describe later events in that First Century but also those of a much later time, one yet to come but which is now at the door!  So Jesus did, but didn’t, tell them precisely ‘when’!

In talking of that far future time however, He tells them a parable about the appearing of leaves on a fig tree – which many believe refers to the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel.:

“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it (or ‘He’) is near – at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place..But of that day and hour no-one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is…Watch therefore…I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:28-37 NKJV emphasis mine)

Other passages of the New Testament imply that He, or Holy Spirit, subsequently gave those leading disciples, and Saul of Tarsus who became Apostle Paul, further insights on the approximate timing of those signs, as below:

Peter preaching in the Temple:

After Jesus’ Ascension into heaven Peter, when teaching in the Temple, called people  to,

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since time began…” (Acts 3:19-21 – my emphasis.)

So there’s a huge contribution followers of Christ have yet to make across all spheres of society towards such restoration – we’ve hardly started; not to mention both human and demonic opposition – but however do we restore ‘all things’?  We must conclude that only The Almighty is able to bring about the ‘restoration of ‘all things’ – and doubtless in the manner Zecharia prophesied to governor Zerubbabel:

“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit”, says the Lord of hosts. (Zech 4:6 NKJV)

Although we need to beware of false prophets, Acts 3:21 implies that the Lord will keep His prophets informed of His intentions in bringing this about (Amos 3:7). Hence the important relevance of contemporary prophecy.

Paul writing to the Thessalonians:

We know from Acts and accounts in Paul’s Epistles that this Apostle to the Gentiles was blessed with visions of and revelations from Jesus Himself as, for example, in the main scripture quoted by ‘pre-Tribbers’:

‘For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
‘For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.’ (1Thess 4:15-17 NKJV)

‘But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.’ (1Thess 5:1-5 NKJV – emphases added)

Maybe it’s as well the Palestinian leaders have been defiantly intransigent over the so-called ‘peace plan’ with Israel and, like Iran and Hezbollah, want to wipe Israel off the face of the map!  Even so, let’s keep watching!

NB: the theme of UN’s Year 2017-18 is ‘Together for Peace, Dignity, Safety  & Respect For All’, as outlined in Three Prophetic Jigsaw Pieces.

Next, we include Paul’s later explanation so click 3 below for what we’re watching for…

End-Times Briefing 1: the ‘Who?’ and ‘Why?’ of Watching

In view of current events it’s time to reconsider the End-times foretold in the Holy Bible with a series of brief overviews, followed by others’ recent insights.

First, we revisit the mini-series published in February 2018 and lodged in the main menu for reference purposes. It was preceded by a couple of re-blogs referring to one of eight possible eschatological scenarios – a pre-Tribulation Rapture – and, together with a theological blog’s discussion, I was prompted to expand upon one of this blog’s earliest entries – ‘Why Watch?’

Now, let’s consider the ‘Who, Why, When and What’ of our watching:

WHO?

You, me and everyone, especially those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ – HE is the WHO and thus the basic reason we should be watching. If you’re not familiar with His life, ministry and status, or with the fact we can be in a close, loving relationship with Him, then dip into this blog’s brief outline at Do You Know Jesus?

WHY?

For me, a totally unexpected and very spectacular, life-changing event in 1989 made watching very personal and connected into relevant, directive scripture. Then in 2008, wanting to check Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13, I opened my Bible and IT EXPLODED! and I heard

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”

Thus impelled in February 2009 I began emailing friends and church leaders on current events and prophecy with The Endgame Is Now In Play, wherein I wrote:
‘Jesus urged His disciples to look out for and observe signs of the times. Regarding their questions about His return at the end of this Age, the earliest Gospel account has Jesus stressing 7 times, “Watch…be alert…on your guard“ (Mark 13). Matthew 24 reports Jesus saying 4 times, “Watch…and when you see…” followed by the parables of the burglar (Jesus coming “like a thief in the night”) and of the virgins > “Don’t be caught napping!” [Is the Church still asleep?] Luke’s account has, “Be always on the watch…” (Luke 21:36 and chapter 12 (NIV) has sections on watchfulness and interpreting the times. In each Gospel Jesus commands, “Learn the lesson of the fig tree…”. Also, the Apostles went on to give more indicators (Acts 3:20-1, Hebrews 12:26-7, 2 Peter 3, 2 Timothy 3 and the first and second letters to the Thessalonians).’

It’s claimed that for every OT prophecy about Jesus Christ’s birth and life there’s seven to eight times as many about His eventual return or ‘Parousia’, also called ‘The Second Advent’ or ‘Second Coming’. I’m of the opinion the likelihood of that event in our lifetime is rapidly increasing !

Jesus stressed the great importance of His return. Eg, His instruction to the four who’d been with Him from the outset of His mission is given at Mark 13:33-37 (NKJV):

“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.

“Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning – lest, coming suddenly, he finds you sleeping! And what I say to you, I say to all, ‘Watch!’.”

That’s why I’m watching and, believer or not, you too are included, as is implicit in Jesus’ admonition: “I say to ALL…“

So, watching for Him is and always has been THE ‘inclusive’ activity – and one with divine warrant!

How Can We Be Sure?

You may object and say, “But even if that’s an accurate quotation it’s only guesswork”. That is, prophecies don’t always come to pass. In answer and in synopsis only, I offer the following key to foretelling the future.:

We’re privileged to learn what Almighty God has decided is to happen. He shared his plans with a select number of ancient sages, or prophets, over a long period that started 29 centuries ago, and several centuries before Christ. Amidst extensive instructions He told the prophet Isaiah:

“For I am God and there is no other, I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand and I shall do all My pleasure’…” (Isaiah 46:9-10 NKJV)

In fact, some years before Isaiah the first of the ‘writing prophets’ had received a distinct word about God’s intention to divulge His plans. This is recorded in Amos’ scroll at the seventh verse of the third chapter (in modern notation):

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

Next, we learn when we’re to be watching for whatever’s coming, so click 2 below…

Follow The Cloud – Tony Puccio

“I’ve seen this vision for a while now so I am going to post it.

“Imagine, if you will, a church building that had been destroyed and this will show what I saw in the vision. The church lay in ruins, no roof overhead, walls crumbled, but some pews remained intact. I saw people there and at first glance one would want to commend them for their faithfulness.

“However, what I saw next changed my perspective…

“I saw a cloud moving away from the destroyed church building. There were a few, and let me re-emphasize, a few saw the cloud and left, while the majority stayed in the destroyed church building. I saw nothing else around, ie, new church buildings.

“It was just the people who had chosen to follow the cloud wherever it was leading.  The Israelites followed the cloud. When it moved, they moved. When it rested, they rested. Like the church building in my vision those refusing to follow the cloud would be left basically in the desert to fend for themselves. Following the cloud is imperative in these last days as we are headed into uncharted territory. Those in the destroyed church building, although the cloud was no longer there, stayed because it was a place they were familiar with.

“The cloud represents a walk of faith, a giving-up the familiar and yielding to the unfamiliar. To not follow the cloud is to be in rebellion, face famine of hearing God’s Word, His presence.

“This vision started when I heard the Lord speak to my spirit saying the cloud is moving.”

Tony Puccio, 3rd June 2020, My Dreams and Visions

I comment as follows on his blog: “Obviously Tony this is the next part of your unfolding visions that I was blessed to cover a few weeks ago in connection with other ‘GPS’ from the Lord (A Directive: Urgent Word For The Global Church – GPS#47.4).
To my understanding, this fits with part of the directive pastor Thomas Harry of Falkirk, Scotland, received. Under section ‘Unprecedented Signs & Wonders’ he writes,
‘Christianity as we have known it and church as we have known it is over. God has saved His best for last and we will be unrecognisable in both our identity and how we operate’.”

Tony replies: “To quote prophet Daniel, ‘those who know their God will do exploits’.”

GPS #48.2: Divine Launching of a Greater Kingdom Work in the Nations – Veronika West

As mentioned in the previous post about my musing upon the Lord’s possible purpose this Pentecost for His Bride-to-be, here’s its second God-incidental confirmation posted by Veronika West on the same day:

“KAIROS MOMENT OF DIVINE LAUNCHING INTO A GREATER KINGDOM WORK IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…!

‘I have just been WATCHING THE LAUNCHING OF A ROCKET ON US SOIL….and as I’m watching I am shown by the Spirit of Revelation that this is POWERFULLY SIGNIFICANT PROPHETICALLY….I believe what’s taking place in the earthly realm is a DIRECT REFLECTION OF WHAT’S NOW TAKING PLACE IN THE SPIRIT REALM IN THIS HOUR AND SEASON….!!!

‘Get ready Beloved….I hear the Spirit say, “WATCH FOR THIS IS KAIROS MOMENT OF DIVINE LAUNCHING INTO A GREATER KINGDOM WORK IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”….I see that this a time where God is now catapulting His people into their callings and Kingdom destinies, many are being supernaturally launched out into a GREATER KINGDOM WORK….and many are now being taken higher and further than they have ever experienced before….!

‘See this Powerful Prophetic Word God have me in early January, long before the Coronavirus struck the Nations, many aspects of this Word is being fulfilled in this hour….New E-R-A = EXPECT RADICAL ADVANCEMENT (click for MUST READ).’

This vision of Veronika’s is yet another example – the 48th – of the Lord’s GPS system (ie. His Global Prophecy Signalling) in action!

Isaiah 50:4 gem: The Bride of Christ’s own resurrection at Pentecost? (GPS #48.1)

The Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to hear as the learned.
(Isaiah 50:4 NKJV, courtesy BibleGateway)

Awakening early Saturday – 30th May, the in-between Shavuot-Pentecost day – I found my spirit buzzing excitedly over Messianic scholar Dr Fruchtenbaum’s brief exposition on Shavuot, aka Pentecost. I’d re-read it last thing Friday and scribbled an introduction for re-blogging it next day, if I may get a half-hour online.

Of Jesus’ followers, 120 disciples/apostles were ‘born-again’ and baptised in the Holy Spirit and fire, thus bringing the church of Jesus Christ into existence.

I submit: the learned doctor’s thesis is foundational to current prophecies on the church-changing importance of Pentecost 2020. Moreover, my early-morning musing brought the following notion, which I’d like prophetically gifted readers to weigh. First, a bit of background:

Since last year I’ve been asking the Lord to deal with the growing apostasy and put His spirit of holy fear into reprobate church leaders. The ‘dragon’ found a way to close down all churches worldwide by sending the ‘Chinese flu’ and, for the first time in history since the original Passover in ancient Egypt, all Jews and Christians are behind locked doors because of a plague during their holiest festivals; Passover, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday – and 50 days later the situation at Pentecost remains unchanged.

I remonstrated with and asked the Lord, “Is today’s Church the one you started building to become Your Bride; the one you said the gates of hell shall not prevail against? Lord, the snake has slithered into its holy precincts unchallenged; even welcomed by some!”

Then a few months ago we were delighted to learn of a pastor who moves strongly in the Holy Spirit’s gift of prophecy, whom the Lord told to resign from leadership and then to watch how He – Jesus Christ – builds His Church today!!!

With all that in mind, plus challenging an author who, self-admittedly not a prophet, is  adamant he knows what God is doing – which includes not blessing The UK Blessing and similar ‘siren songs’! – this dropped into mind upon waking Saturday morn..:

With church buildings shut according to civil law, the bride of Christ is locked away as though entombed – like the first disciples were after Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection and during prayer-period leading into Shavuot. That is, her body stopped functioning in the natural but the Lord has arranged for her to be revived with Holy Spirit’s power, just like at His Resurrection!

Therefore, today’s churches are going through a ‘death’ and ‘resurrection’ to prepare those who ardently desire Jesus for a new life; one empowered to fulfill His mission.

That is, I believe we’re about to witness the Bride of Christ’s Resurrection in preparation for His Return…!!!  This means a radical change within church-goers to move out and do the ‘Greater Works’ (John 14:12) in the ripening global Harvest.

1st God-incidental Confirmation:

In that morning’s shared devotional reading from Sanctuary – Moments in His Presence, the author David Strutt tells of a couple of reminder cards pinned above his desk, one of which is Isaiah 50 and thus confirmed my minutes-before musing. David quotes that verse:

‘…He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to listen as a disciple‘ and continues, ‘If you are being taught by the Lord, you are His disciple. I often repeat this verse to myself on waking, long before i get to my desk. I commend it to you as a way of life – it is true. It is the word of the Lord to you.’

2nd God-incidental Confirmation:

This God-arranged ‘coincidence’ appears in Veronika West’s personal vision published that same day, 30th May, which I didn’t read ’til getting back online today! (click here)

Our Father’s Joy in facing the Evil One — Wanda Alger

This profound word on how Abba laughs at the Adversary, as shared with Wanda, goes hand-in-hand with the previous post on Steve Hepden’s insight about Jesus’ trial and the counterfeit ‘son‘…

We are in a protracted battle that is not ending any time soon. We are facing things many of us never thought possible. Not only is our nation in massive turmoil and chaos, spiritual forces are pressing upon believers and we need to gird ourselves for the days ahead. 727 more words

The Time of Reckoning is here — Wanda Alger

Quote

This direct word of stern exhortation to believers on the Lord judging the Church is aimed mainly at our brethren in the USA; yet as one would expect, it complements those recently received of the in-depth ‘directive’ for the global Church and upon the ‘humbling’ of Britain.  Herein, we’re taken to task for not rising to perceive the Lord’s perspective, yet encouraged to keep His purposes paramount:

This word is not for the faint of heart. I rarely give words in first-person from the Lord, but this one flowed out of me during a recent time of prayer as if I was transcribing a dictation. Though this is a strong exhortation, I felt the Lord’s deep passion concerning our plight as well…

Word of Discernment: The battleground has shifted – Abel Praise

After having posted the transcript on Monday of Veronika West’s hearing from the Lord, “Get ready, get ready! For the stage is set, for a Spiritual Showdown is about to take place in this land!”, it is significant that the following two-part Facebook posting was published the next day by a Nigerian brother:

THE BATTLEGROUND HAS SHIFTED

THE BATTLEGROUND HAS SHIFTED I

The Enemy Thinks He Is Attacking The Church By Lengthening The Time To Halt Gatherings; The Church Thinks The Enemy Is Attacking Her By Trying To Stop Her From Gathering. The Kingdom Sees It’s At The Threshold Of A New Era; And Needs To Accomplish The Overhauling Of The Living Systems That Has Entrenched Perversion; And Will Accomplish This Through The Ignorance Of Religion and Perceived Wickedness of The Enemy. At The End Of All These, Those Who Hear The Voice, The Shepherd’s Voice, Would Have Hoisted The Flag Of The Kingdom For They Know That The Battle-Ground Has Shifted; And New Territories Are Being Contested In This Hour For The Next Phase of Kingdom Advance.

THE BATTLEGROUND HAS SHIFTED II – THE BATTLEGROUND OF THE ARMIES

The battleground has shifted; while in Egypt; they didn’t need boots, spears or weapons of war; they had amongst them ministers that spoke, taught, encouraged them in their assemblies to believe and have faith that the promises of their deliverance and a deliverer would come through; but when the battleground shifted; their ministers/ ministry shifted; they now needed to be kitted up for war; they had to; and had transitioned into The Battleground of The Armies. Armies are those equipped with the authority to pull down and rebuild territories. The Battleground of The Armies would equip them and get them to recover the authority, heritages and weapons of war because they were coming into a new phase; the tearing down of territories and their rebuilding of territories according to heavenly blueprints.

Those who didn’t understand that the battleground has shifted cried to return to the old normal; those who discerned the shift and walked forward into their new battleground like Joshua and Caleb believed for conquest.

We have been fed hope in the days of hope; but we must discern that the battleground has shifted; and are now in the battleground of The Armies – this we already see in the enemy attempting to wield authority to tear down state-structures and rebuild them into his way – but those who walk through this; discerning the shift and peeping into the wisdom of The LORD will be equipped in this critical hour for the tearing down of strongholds and rebuilding the cities of their inheritances measured out to them.

The Battleground has shifted – Out of The Battleground of The Armies; the authority to tear down and rebuild cities will be gained. Who will wield this authority in your city – The Righteous or The Perverse?

Background

Abel Praise writes at The War-Room Ministries: Kingdom Military Missions and I’m aware that Veronika values his insights and Biblical interpretations of prophecy. He provides the following details about this word on the battleground:

“The Origin Of The WORD:
It’s The WORD The LORD shared with me in time of fellowship; more so, it has been built up through series of things The LORD had shared with me over recent months to build a new understanding within. I usually see them as my teaching moments with The LORD; because it’s taken a number of dreams, visions, insights in time of fellowship; so I put out a great deal of understanding that several experiences had brought to create a perspective of the what’s ahead.

Veronika West’s post was a big boost and gave that A-HA moment; so it’s worth making reference to. I do not yet know if I will be allowed to put out all of the dreams, visions and all; but one critical experience I had in the midst of this season; and in all The LORD had shown concerning Covid19 moment; was an instruction in one of the dreams where The LORD said to me; “I had been given responsibility to prepare people concerning The Covid19 season the nations would walk through”; and that is the point from where The Posts concerning The Battleground shifting began to be released yesterday (Tues). I trust that with this; the perspective will be clear in your heart and the divine flow will be seen. Once again; I am humbled by the commitment to the work entrusted to you; and your reaching out to me.”

Five-fold prophecy on waves of awakening and opening wells…etc

Highly recommended by the pastor of the new Catch The Fire Church in Farnborough, this prophetic vision and word premiered on 24 April from Australia’s Nate & Christy Johnson confirms and enhances not only what Veronika West brought in February on reopening ancient wells, but also my 2004 vision of the Rock bursting through the rotten fabric of society and much earlier one on Shaking, as well as prophetical musing of the exposure of evil and corruption and fulfillments thereof (F/P #10). 

I want to share a vision I had a little while ago that I didn’t feel immediately released to share until now. It speaks of five specific events, two that we are already in the middle of, and three events that are to come. I also want to share some prayer strategies for you, so I encourage you to read to the end. Continue reading →

Holy Fire caught during church video meeting

Three weeks after our first video meeting with Catch The Fire Farnborough, as told in this confirmation of the establishing of ‘new wineskin’ church, pastor Bird asked one of the attendees to read a scripture he’d submitted as being relevant to this new church:

The Coming Glory of God’s House (NKJV – BibleGateway)

2 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came [a]by Haggai the prophet, saying: 2 ‘Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: 3 “Who is left among you who saw this [b]temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,” says the Lord; “and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,” says the Lord, “and work; for I am with you,” says the Lord of hosts. 5 “According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!”

6 ‘For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the [c]Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this [d]temple with glory,” says the Lord of hosts. 8 “The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,” says the Lord of hosts. 9 “The glory of this latter [e]temple shall be greater than the former,“ says the Lord of hosts. “And in this place I will give peace,“ says the Lord of hosts.’

I’m amazed that once again a scripture brought to our attention had been highlighted in my old Bible, as in the attached photo. This was probably done in connection with having heard “Hebrews 12” over 29 yrs ago and when I highlighted v 26 about ‘The Shaking’, which is why I’ve oft referred to it when blogging (see tag).

A Word of Warning to the Church – Veronika West, 18 April 2019

I found this visionary prophetic word re-published by a FB friend whilst scrolling my Facebook’s ‘Home’ screen. Being Fb I couldn’t find it again but had opened its link. In view of this ‘alert’, therefore, I believe it is a ‘now’ word (which proved accurate that evening): 

Two days ago I SAW SOMETHING TERRIFYING COMING TO THE CHURCH, I WAS STANDING IN A CHURCH IN OUR NATION AMONG MANY BELIEVERS WHO HAD THEIR HANDS LIFTED AND THEY WERE IN WORSHIP, WHEN SUDDENLY A WHIRLWIND OF FIRE CAME THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH AND AS THE WHIRLWIND OF FIRE CAME IN I HEARD THE PEOPLE BEGIN TO CRY OUT FOR MERCY AND I WATCHED AS THE WHIRLWIND OF FIRE MOVED SLOWING ACROSS THE PEOPLE BURNING AWAY THEIR OUTER GARMENTS, WHICH LEFT EVERYONE COMPLETELY NAKED AND TRANSPARENT, NOT ONLY BEFORE ONE ANOTHER BUT BEFORE ALMIGHTY GOD.

I WATCHED AS SOME TRIED DESPERATELY TO HIDE THEMSELVES BEHIND WALLS AND PILLARS AND UNDER TABLES AND PEWS, BUT THE FIRE WAS TOO INTENSE. IT WAS A CONSUMING FIRE, IT WAS AN INESCAPABLE FIRE, IT WAS A FIRE THAT WAS ALIVE AND IT MOVED WITH GREAT POWER AND GREAT FORCE, THEN I WATCHED AS OTHERS TRIED TO HIDE THEIR NAKEDNESS BUT THE CONSUMING FIRE HAD COMPLETELY BURNED AWAY EVERYTHING THAT STOOD IN THE SANCTUARY, THE PEWS, THE PULPIT, THE ALTAR EVEN THE DOORS ON THE BUILDING WERE BURNED, THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED WERE THE NAKED PEOPLE, THEN SUDDENLY I HEARD THESE WORDS,

“THE TIME HAS COME FOR MY HOUSE TO BE CLEANSED BY THE PURIFYING FIRES OF MY GLORY, MY WHIRLWIND OF FIRE SHALL COME SUDDENLY AND SWIFTLY UPON MY FATHER’S HOUSE AND IT SHALL CONSUME AND IT SHALL CLEANSE AND IT SHALL PURIFY, WATCH AS THE FIRES OF MY GLORY COME TO EXPOSE AND UNCOVER, WATCH! AS MY FIRE COMES TO SWEEP CLEAN MY FATHER’S HOUSE, FOR LONG ENOUGH MY CHURCH HAS BEEN A PLACE OF HIDING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DEFILED MY WORD AND QUENCHED MY SPIRIT, FOR SURELY I TELL YOU MY WHIRLWIND OF FIRE SHALL BURN AWAY ALL THINGS THAT ARE FLESHLY AND NOT OF THE SPIRIT, FOR MY FIRE COMES TO CONSUME THE WORKS OF WICKEDNESS AND CORRUPTION, YES!! FOR THE WORKS OF EVIL AND CORRUPTION IN MY HOUSE HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO DEVOURING SPIRITS AND TO THE SPIRITS OF WITCHCRAFT AND WICKEDNESS. WATCH! AND GET READY MY BELOVED AS MY WHIRLWIND OF FIRE COMES TO STRIP AWAY AND TO SWEEP CLEAN IN THIS SEASON, FOR I SHALL BURN AWAY EVERY UNGODLY THING TO REVEAL A HOLY AND SET APART REMNANT THAT SHALL WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, WATCH! AS THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD COMES TO STRIKE A HOLY AND REVERENTIAL FEAR ONCE AGAIN IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE”, says God

Ps; This Spirit encounter was TERRIFYING, I believe the Church is about to HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH A HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS GOD THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW…, for too long the Church has been lifting their hands and their voices to a God of their own imagination and not to the GOD OF THE BIBLE. Many have become SO ACCUSTOMED TO A god OF COMPROMISE AND CONVENIENCE that they are ill- equipped to deal effectively with the forces of darkness that are working in the midst of them. Many have Worshiped at the altar of a god of their own making and they have lost ALL FEAR AND REVERENCE. Is it not a wonder why the Spirit of Islam is advancing with great power across the Nations of the Earth, for surely while the CHURCH SLEEPS AND SLUMBERS PASSIVELY SATAN IS GAINING GROUND AND TAKING TERRITORIES.

“THE WHIRLWIND OF FIRE DRAWS NEAR; ARE YOU READY TO ENCOUNTER HIS GLORY??

[With gratitude to the unknown creators of the above images, yet known to the Lord]

Birth of ‘New wineskin’ church confirmed by Veronika West prophecy (GPS #45.1)

Further to my reference in the previous post to Catch The Fire in Farnborough, Hants, the senior leader Revd Christopher Bird aims to have its official launch in September. Before then, a ‘thought for the day’ and a weekly teaching from Christopher at 7pm every Sunday is ‘live’ on its Facebook page.

Nina and I were invited to join its second weekly video meeting last Wednesday evening and got online just in time to hear Christopher outlining this new church’s DNA, viz:

    • committed to welcoming the presence of God;
    • being disciples who make disciples, and
    • cultivating a true sense of family.

On the first point he taught about the meaning of and necessity for new wineskins and how this applies to churches, and as an example referred to Moses’ encounter of the Glory of God. On being told to “Lead these people” Moses reacted that he’d not been told whom God would send with him and quoting the Lord, “I know you by name and You have found favour with me” asked, “If you are pleased with me, teach me Your ways so I may know You and continue to find favour with You…” Exodus 33:13 NIV).

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest.”  The rest of the passage is conversation about God’s Presence, and then He showed Moses His Glory!!!  

My finger remained in those pages when we turned to the Gospels but I got impelled to go back and noted Exod 34:10 as being what the Lord is promising us today!

The Covenant Renewed

10 And He said: “Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do [a]marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.” [NKJV courtesy Biblegateway.com]

SO, this morning I find that Veronika West has published a confirmation on her ministry Facebook(emphases mine):

‘Yesterday I heard the Lord say so clearly,

“WATCH! FOR NEW WINE SKIN MINISTRIES ARE NOW BEING BIRTHED IN THE EARTH”…!

‘When I heard the Spirit say those words, I saw a NEW BREED OF MINISTRIES BEING BIRTHED in this time of RESET…,I saw the words ‘DYNAMIC’ AND ‘DUNAMIS POWER.’…THEN I SAW DIVINE EXPLOSIONS WHICH WERE TAKING PLACE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT….AND THEN I HEARD THE SOUND OF MANY RUSHING WATERS….AND I COULD SEE WELLS OPENING UP ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH…!

‘THESE ARE THE WELLS OF REVIVAL…BURSTING FORTH UPON THE NATIONS WITH THE NEW WINE OF THE SPIRIT AND WITH THE DUNAMIS POWER OF GOD…!

‘Ps; I will let you into a conversation I had with a dear friend who shared with me that the Lord had given her the word “FUNNEL” while she was praying…and so she asked if I had some insights…and this was what the Lord showed me;

“The funnel is so interesting, I thought straight away of the NARROW PLACE…a PLACE OF BIRTHING….! Also A TIME WHERE THINGS ARE BEING BROUGHT TO A HEAD/POINT!!!  A place of DIVINE CONVERGENCE…!

‘A Time of FRESH INFILLING, OUTPOURING AND RELEASE. I hear the words, “A SEASON OF DIVINE DECANTING”… gradually pour (wine, port, or another liquid) from one container into another, typically in order to separate out sediment.

‘Often a FUNNEL IS USED TO DECANT WINE….! I believe this is a TIME OF DIVINE SEPARATION, THE SEDIMENT AND IMPURITIES ARE BEING REMOVED….’NO MORE MIXTURE’…EVERYTHING DEFILED AND UNCLEAN MUST BE DONE AWAY WITH.

‘I SEE A HOLY PURITY COMING FORTH IN THE EARTH….A PURE AND UNDEFILED MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT THAT WILL REDEFINE MINISTRIES FOREVER…HE IS REPOSITIONING AND REALIGNING THOSE WHO HAVE ‘CLEAN HANDS AND PURE HEARTS’ WITH ‘A NEW WINE SKIN MOVEMENT’ THAT IS BEING BIRTHED IN THE EARTH.

‘There is a “DIVINE DECANTING TAKING PLACE, A DIVINE EXCHANGE…AND A SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION”…!!

‘I hear the words, “NEW WINESKIN MINISTRIES ARE NOW BEING BIRTHED IN THE EARTH …!

‘If you have not already read this powerful dream please prayerfully do so, it speaks to the ‘OIL OF HEALING AND THE VINEYARDS OF NEW WINE’;

Visions of spiritual ‘atomic bomb’ confirmed by Emma Stark

I don’t get time to watch video links that folks kindly send me, but this one is highly recommended. So I suggest allocating an hour to watch and consider will be time well spent.

We’re not, admittedly, fans of American shows, BUT this one’s important. It was brought to my attention by a reader and contributor to this blog, Dave Hood, but being extremely busy I got to hear the early minutes only whilst tapping on my keys. Others mentioned it and I chatted about the first speaker’s claims with members of the Prophetic Releasers Fbk group, and so I intended taking time out to watch. But a couple of days later I got spurred into making it a priority, and the way that was done can only be of the Lord..!

In video conference for those interested in a new Catch The Fire church planned for Farnborough, its leader Christopher Bird drew attention to a vision we’d both had, and his wife Rachel added that Emma Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre had also had a similar one – and then referred to that video I’d yet to watch!

In fact, what Emma witnessed was the second confirmation in chronological sequence of the original vision a pastor in Reading, Berkshire, had 30 years ago. 

2ND CONFIRMATION OF VISION

Initially, the video caught my attention when Tracy Cook began talking about a dream two months ago about the suspicious source of ‘Chinese Flu’ and the subsequent world-wide Shaking. (I stopped there and didn’t hear the remainder.)

At 31:20 min mark Sid Roth tasks Emma for more of her thoughts on what we can do about the spirit of fear associated with this crisis; but first she qualifies her reply:

“I think a new breed of church is going to emerge and it’s going to be a post-Pentecostal and a post-Charismatic church; it’s not going to look like any version of church that we would say should be our ‘go-to’ aim. In actual fact, we’re going to enter the days of the Church of Holy Power, and that’s what’s going to be established at the end of this Shaking.

“Last year I was on my face in Africa in prayer, and I heard a bomb going off in the spirit realm. (Elsewhere, she describes it as a ‘terrifyingly awesome sound.’)  You know, I grew up in Northern Ireland so I’m used to hearing bombs in the natural. But this was a bomb in the spirit realm, and I said to God, “What have You done?”

He said, “Watch!” and the spray of this heavenly-sent bomb covered the entire globe and the spray started to land on the flesh of men and it started to have an effect on their skin and their skin started to melt and I said to God, “What are You doing” and He said,

“I’m making sure that it is not about one man, it is not about one ministry. I’m making sure that it’s not about ego. I’m making sure that I’m going to shake people so that all that is fleshly in them disintegrates. And on the back of that I will re-fire My Church with Holy Power.”

“And so when we actually come back to regather, we’re going to find churches move in a greater demonstration of the power of God than ever had before, but we have to deal right now with this fear situation…”

Emma proceeded with practical ministry for everyone – which briefly affected her too. To learn more about what had happened in South Africa last May read chapter two of this free book:

I now recall our first visit 6-7 years ago to the church pastor Bird had moved to, not too far from us. (Nina had witnessed the Birds’ prophetic gifting in action at a lady’s house group.) As worship started at that church I suddenly had an open vision of a huge flame of fire shoot out into the hall from above the small band. 

Some may recall Jigsaw Pieces Portray 27th June’s Significance in Prophecy in which I recount my own and pastor Bird’s experiences of a spiritual ‘atom bomb’, but didn’t have the finer details Emma brought. Here are those relevant ‘pieces’…

3RD CONFIRMATION (Pastor’s ‘atomic bomb’)

In referring to that conference at the start of Sunday’s service at FBC, Revd Christopher Bird described it as being like an “atomic bomb” in introducing theology students to the Holy Spirit’s practical, power ministry.  Now, he had my complete attention because I’d blogged about having seen one of those explode in a vision 27 years ago today, as told when inviting readers to February’s One Voice prophecy conference (Bringing the Glorious Word of the Lord to the Nation).

Maybe Chris was referring to my vision of golden rainfall and exploding atomic bomb, because I’d mentioned it in my email inviting him to the One Voice event?

Afterwards therefore, I asked Chris why he’d used those words and he said he’d seen a picture in his morning prayers that developed into an atomic explosion of God’s glory across our nation!  However, he apologised for NOT having read my email yet – and then thanked me because I was confirming what he’d seen that morning! Therefore, it must surely be a God thing!!

1ST CONFIRMATION (My vision and original)

In other words, Chris directly confirmed the vision I’d had as he hadn’t read my account from my first years as a new believer at Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which reads:

‘At a very early Pangbourne prayer morning on 27 June 1992 I saw “a waterfall of golden rain which became like a nuclear bomb but in reverse”. When I later told associate pastor David about this he expressed keen interest in view of the vision of liquid fire he’d previously seen over Tilehurst (ie. in 1980s).

‘What particularly impresses me about this picture was that the golden rain (flames?) suddenly condensed into a focal point and there followed a brilliant flash of light. In films of nuclear bombs I’ve seen, the immense flash was followed by fire.

‘Regret I’ve not got any relevant scripture for this but believe it may relate to TFC. Like that widespread ‘rain’, we’ve reverted into a more compact unit, or operation. Perhaps the next phase is for the Lord to ignite us into a powerful instrument, such that His light will go off like a mighty bomb.’

Subsequent considerations connected that vision to meetings held in late 1990s along the Thames Valley and prayers for God’s glory to flow through them into London.  Now however, as emphasised by this Hampshire minister, that glory explosion won’t be localised but will affect the whole nation!  But I was yet to learn of Emma’s ‘bomb’…

Sanctuary (Britain’s role) – Neil Mackereth

On reading Yinka’s prayer and hearing about unbalanced scales and seeing “an amazing grand cathedral”, I was reminded of Neil Mackereth also having seen one a few months ago. He emailed on 7th January about what had happened whilst writing an article (emphases mine, other than for sub-heading): 

Dear Richard,

This morning, whilst working on a paper about the history of Replacement Theology, I had a word from the Lord. I had returned to the start to add: ‘A lie that is wrapped in many layers of brilliant, scholarly, eloquent, heart-warming, loving, compassionate and seemingly reasonable exegeses, is still a lie,’ when the Lord broke in and said,

“Make it clear: I HAVE NOT ABANDONED MY PEOPLE ISRAEL!”

Time to Address the Scourge of Replacement Theology

The Lord made it clear to me this morning that there is an urgent need to address the very dangerous and deceptive nature of Super-sessionism (Replacement Theology).

I asked: “Why now Lord?”

The Lord showed me a picture of a very large cathedral dominating, as it were, the island of Great Britain. The doors were wide open and people were pouring in, while others were outside showing no interest. I was taken inside and many clergy were there standing in dazzling robes in shafts of light with arms outstretched, ministering to the visitors. In the shadows there were other clergy dressed in black.

“What does this mean, Lord?”

“I am making Great Britain a refuge (a sanctuary for the time of “Jacob’s Trouble”). Do not be judgmental, I am asking the praying remnant of Bible-believing Christians to intercede for those clergy in the shadows, that they will move into the light. The multitude of would-be believers are not to be led astray by clergy whose views of Biblical truth and Kingdom values, particularly in regard of the significance of Israel, are unsafe and unsound. The Holy Spirit will empower you for this task.”

“Why is it so important?”

“Soon the enemies surrounding Israel will intensify their screaming for Israel to be crucified and it BREAKS MY HEART.”

That was it – I am often tempted to add things, but not to this!

Blessings, Neil

Veronika West confirmation of ’emerge’ vision (GPS #43.2)

Simultaneously and by serendipity with my post on the 2004 vision of the emerging Rock of Christ and newspaper op-ed echoing the word I heard, and Andrea William’s newsletter’s main highlight on the ‘Rock‘, another confirmation came that very morning in what Veronika West published on her Facebook. NB: my post had been written on Thursday but I decided, or maybe the Lord ‘nudged’ me, to set auto-publication for 6.00am the next day, Friday.

Here’s Veronika, as copied from her Fb and from His Kingdom Prophecy:

“IT’S TIME TO…’EMERGE AND SEE’…THAT THE LORD IS GOOD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING…”

As I woke up this morning I saw this Word come up before me, ‘EMERGE and SEE’.

I then heard the word “emerge-n-cy” and I saw this Word being written over many nations of the earth.

Then I heard the Spirit say,
“Watch! As signs, wonders and miracles will begin to ‘emerge and many eyes will see’ My Glory arise as never before.

“So Watch and Pray… As a righteous remnant will emerge and many will see….

“And many will say, ‘from contagious to supernatural catalyst, from outbreak to outpouring and revival, from isolation to greater unity, integration and kingdom advancement, from fear to an unbridled boldness, freedom and victory and from death to resurrection power and new life, for surely the attacks and the assignments of the enemy which sought to rob, kill and destroy have now been reversed and turned for greater kingdom increase, influence and impact in the nations’!”

I Declare: March 2020 will be, ”A gateway month for a greater manifestation and demonstration of his glory in the lives of many.”

I Declare: Sudden and swift supernatural miracles and deliverances as ungodly alliances and even generational curses are bound and broken. The words “freedom and breakthrough” will be on the lips of many.

I Decree and Declare: A divine and supernatural emerge-and-see over the nations. The Glory of The LORD has risen upon the Sons of God and all nations will be drawn to their rising!

Blessings to you all.

We’re not in a contest of power – but are contending in God-given AUTHORITY — Wanda Alger

In this ace follow-up Wanda reminds me of what I heard upon opening my Bible 12 years ago to check the wheat and tares parable only to hear, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled”. (Hence I began writing about End-times with The Endgame is now in play.)

Note that Wanda writes, “…In these days when the wheat and the tares are growing together and evil is continuing to rise, it is not those who exert the most power that will determine the outcome, but those who have been given the greater authority…”

As our president faces ongoing threats and attacks from his opponents, we can be assured that his assignment will not fail if we understand the superiority of legitimate authority. 828 more words

Do we know what we’re fighting for? — Wanda Alger

In addressing American disciples of the Lord, what Wanda says about that political scene also applies to Britain; eg. in standing against the illegal action of cancelling venues for the Frank Graham evangelistic tour > click to sign petition to the Home Secretary!  (See also ‘Thought police’ cancel events with Christian speakers.)

‘…It’s only when the legislation that is being passed behind closed doors comes to our own front doors, that we start to realize we need to pay attention and get involved. Yes, we must pray. Yes, we must stand in the gap and start speaking up about these issues that are core to our faith and critical to our witness. But, we must also begin thinking about our own responsibility in leading the way to reformation and transformation…’

Given current events, it is obvious we are in for a long stretch of war this coming year. But, this will not be a war of political parties as much as a war of spiritual powers in the high places of our nation. 904 more words

Leisa Ebere: Whirlwinds of the Spirit

Leisa emails me today, ‘The Lord is at work preparing His Bride for His purposes, as His Glory stands knocking at our doors. Please find below, the powerful Word the Lord gave me early this morning:

WHIRLWINDS OF THE SPIRIT PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 13th February 2020

“In the next five years ‘Whirlwinds of My Spirit’ shall touch down and cause nations and whole people-groups to experience holiness and power in such a life-changing way, that eternal heavenly portals will be established, as heaven relates to earth in a deep and favourable dimension, not previously known or understood by mankind. A new vernacular of heavenly revelation and understanding will abide within My People, as My true and humble apostles and prophets arise to raise up a people ready and willing to walk into the fires of revival, casting off all fears as they go. For though I am already releasing supernatural signs and wonders to begin wedging open the doors of true harvest, a transitioning must occur first so that My People can access higher revelation and understanding and My Power. Press into Me with all humility,” says the Lord, “for My Glory stands at your doors knocking, and yea, you must unlock the door and stand with expectancy and courage, as this current season of night turns into day.”

Leisa Ebere: White horse dispatch prophecy

Leisa’s email of last night reads: ‘I had been seeing the face of a shaggy, white horse for two nights in my dreams, then the Lord took me into an open vision and showed me what He is doing in this hour. Wow and Hallelujah!

THE WHITE HORSE DISPATCH PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 28th January 2020

I saw a white horse with tufts of hair all over it, and I knew that it had been in the wild a very long time and that this horse knew how to survive. Then I saw the horse rounding up his herd, even though several dark demons were trying to oppose him as much as possible. The horse was not beautiful, but I saw that he was protective and faithful towards those that had been entrusted to his care, and then suddenly I saw the horse and his herd stampede towards the demons and chase them away. After that, I heard the Lord say:

“I am raising up ordinary people and giving them extraordinary abilities, and these I am dispatching with specific missions to stir up My body to clear out the blockage that currently stands in the way of My People walking into their destiny. These anointed ones shall be free of all religious mindsets and be fast and efficient as My Words and My Power flows out from their mouths and their fingertips. These are My rapid-fire prophets that I am launching initially into Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, and then into the uttermost parts of the earth. And the hands of time shall be expedited as a result of their influence. I am Moving amongst My People,” says the Lord, “and releasing My Power. Get ready for upheaval and get ready for change!”

Veronika West: 7 eyes of 7 spirits within whirlwind of Elijah

Posted by Veronika on Monday 20th January on Ignite Ireland Ministries Facebook:

WATCH! FOR THE SEVEN EYES OF THE SEVEN SPIRITS WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND OF ELIJAH NOW MOVES TO AND FRO ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH…

HAHA!!! GET READY….!

Early hours of this morning [20th] was woken by the sound of a TRUMPET in the realm of the Spirit…it was LOUD, DISTINCT AND PIERCING, as I sat up in bed trying not to disturb my family, suddenly I was caught up in the realm of the Spirit where I saw A RED VELVET CARPET BEING UNRAVELLED before me and I heard the Spirit say, “WATCH! THE TIME IS NOW, THE STAGE IS SET, THE KING OF GLORY DRAWS NEAR”..! As I heard those words, I saw these words come up before me, “THE RED CARPET NOW UNRAVELS BEFORE MY RIGHTEOUS REMNANT”.., as I kept listening, watching and praying in this encounter suddenly I saw THE RED VELVET CARPET LIFT UP BEFORE ME AND IT BECAME LIKE A MIGHTY RIVER, in the twinkling of an eye THE RED VELVET CARPET TURNED TO A RIVER OF GOLD and I felt myself being PUSHED FAST FORWARD BY THE MIGHTY CURRENT OF THE RIVER and then I heard these words, “ARISE SHINE FOR MY GLORY HAS RISEN UPON YOU”,…as I heard the voice of the Spirit speak, suddenly I saw thousands upon thousands of people being drawn to the RIVER OF GOLD WHICH WAS RUSHING ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, and as they came so they to were caught up by the river’s mighty current and carried away, and then I heard these words, “ALL NATIONS WILL BE DRAWN THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR RISING”…!

As I heard those words echo in the realm of the Spirit I saw a BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW COME UP BEFORE ME AND AS I LOOKED AT THE RAINBOW…. I SAW SEVEN EYES WITHIN THE RAINBOW AND THEN I FELT A MIGHTY WIND BEGIN TO BLOW ROUND ABOUT ME AND A MIGHTY WHIRLWIND BEGAN TO FORM WITHIN THE RAINBOW, THEN AGAIN I SAW THE SEVEN EYES WITHIN THE RAINBOW WHICH WAS NOW WITHIN THE MIGHTY WHIRLWIND…and then I heard these words,

“WATCH! FOR THE SEVEN EYES OF THE SEVEN SPIRITS WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND OF ELIJAH NOW MOVES TO AND FRO ACROSS THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH…WHO SHALL I SEND?…WHO SHALL GO?…IN THE POWER OF MY SEVEN SPIRITS?…FOR NOW THE WHIRLWIND OF ELIJAH COMES IN THE POWER OF MY SEVEN SPIRITS TO TRANSFORM AND REFORM THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..!
