Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me,
“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”
Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:Continue reading →
‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)
A little time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation over 13-14th September ’89, when I got confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE! So I fully expected to take my last breath there and then as an invisible trapdoor would open up in the floor and drop me down into Hell.
It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.
That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginary. Even more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents! Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein).
Upon awaking 32 years ago (14th September 1989), I was utterly happy to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!
The previous evening in Pangbourne, Berkshire, I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But that night had been spent at my childhood home at 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event.
In a most unusual dream I went back in time and place. A dream so lucid that even three decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what had happened (copied from original, explanatory comments in italics).: Continue reading →
AMERICA, SET AS A SIGNET-RING NATION – THE SIGN THAT GOD IS NOW REBUILDING, RESTORING AND REFORMING THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH!
(See below. This is the First Vision of two Visions. The second will soon follow!)
I heard The Spirit say, “America, I set you as a Signet-Ring Nation, the sign that I AM now Rebuilding, Restoring and Reforming the Nations of the Earth!”
Can I first say,.. I believe both of the following Visions speak into the New Year ahead. God is now Rebuilding, Restoring and Reforming the Nations.
Both Visions speak to us seeing, that in the midst of God’s Judgement coming upon the works of wickedness, there is a great Harvest of Souls coming to The Nations.
I hear the Words, ”The Hour of Harvest is here!”
Both visions speak to God’s Redemptive Power to Save, Heal and Deliver Nations — Nations that align with True Repentance and return to their first love.
This is the Master-Key — the weight that will shift The Scales in The Courts of Heaven in this New Era.
I believe we will see a great manifestation, as The Hand of God’s Justice moves to radically Intervene and bring Rescue and Redemption, Restoring what has been lost, stolen and destroyed by the hands of the devourer.
These Words speak to the manifest Power of The Seven Spirits of God going forth across Nations as a mighty Whirlwind to scatter and to gather — to scatter the works of Satan and to gather in a great Harvest of Souls!
So let’s begin. I received the first Vision on the 7th August 2021 where the Nation of America was shown to me as a man drowning in deep and fast rising floodwaters.
I saw his hands flaying, waving frantically, trying to keep his head above the water. He was gasping for every breath; his cries for help filled the airwaves. He was looking for someone to rescue him from the waters that were getting deeper and deeper.
I watched as the drowning man was becoming more and more desperate, time was running out, when suddenly, I saw what looked like a multi-coloured Life-ring being thrown down to the drowning man.
Then I heard these Words, ”America, it’s time! It’s time to wage War with My Covenant and win!”
As I heard those Words, I saw the hand of the drowning man reach out and take hold of the multi-coloured Life-ring, and as his hand touched the Life-ring, I saw the Life-ring fall upon the finger of the drowning man, and it became a Gold Signet Ring upon his finger.
Again I heard these Words, ”America, it’s time! It’s time to wage War with My Covenant and win!”
Suddenly, I saw that the drowning man was no longer struggling to stay afloat in the deep flood waters, but his feet were now standing on dry, solid ground, and as I watched this taking place, I heard The Spirit say these words over the Nation,
“America, see, for I have set you as A Signet-ring; the sign that I AM now Rebuilding, Restoring and Reforming the Nations of the earth. Watch as My Hand of Justice and Righteousness now moves to bring this Nation full circle.”
“Watch as I take you back to the future, by bringing you back to the foundations on which you were built.
America, I say to you, “Fear not!” Take hold of My Covenant Promises in this hour. Take hold of the manifest power of My Seven Spirits.
Yes! I say stop trying to hold onto man, leaning on the arm of the flesh, but take hold of My Hand, take hold of My Life-Ring and be set as a Gold Signet-Ring upon my finger!
America, long enough you have faltered between two opinions. Whom will you serve? Will you serve Baal or will you serve the Living God?
America, your strength is waning, your power is failing in the turbulent waters of chaos and confusion, fear and torment.
See! For your right wing has been wounded, so take hold of My Covenant and fly again?
I say, it’s time to fly again!
America, your heart is torn, for you cannot serve two masters. Return! Return America, and I shall rescue and save you. I shall raise you up greater, stronger and mightier than before.
I shall pour out My Glory upon your streets. Healing, Restoration and Reformation shall come to this land.
So take hold of Me and Live! Return to The Altar of Awakening this day. Return quickly to your First Love and be liberated from the shackles and chains that have weighed you down and dragged you under!
America, nothing is too difficult for Me. Nothing is to hard for me to handle. What shall stand in the way of the manifest power of My Seven Spirits?
America, this day I have remembered and I have reminded you of My Covenant with you. See! For My great Redeeming Power shall come to rescue you from drowning and from going under.
Look up! Look up and see My Eyes are upon you, and My Hand is now reaching out to draw you up and draw you out of the rising flood waters that seek to overwhelm and overtake you!
America, do you hear the sound? The sound of wedding bells? The sound ofcelebration? The sound of liberty bells ringing out across this land?
The sound of wedding bells that herald My Covenant Blessings over this Nation?
Listen! For The Sound of Freedom shall be heard as the chains and shackles that have kept you bound are shattered and broken to pieces.
America, a prodigal Nation will now return to her senses, no longer will you eat with the pigs or dine on the delicacies of darkness, but your blind eyes will be opened, your deaf ears will be unblocked, and your voice that has been silenced will roar again.
A Nation lost shall be found. A Nation that went her own way will return to her First Love and be fully Revived, Restored and Reformed!
America, I AM calling you in this hour to arise in your true Kingdom Identity and Authority! I say to you, America, you are My Ring.
You are My Authority. You carry My Presence among the Nations. I have sealed you, and set apart. You bear My Mark. You are My Image Bearer. I have given you all Power and Authority over everything you touch!
So I say to you again, America, it’s time to wage War with this Covenant and win, for even as Jacob wrestled with God, so you have now entered into a time of Divine Contention and intense Warfare for the blessing of God over this Nation.
I say to you America, will you be like Jacob and refuse to surrender or retreat during this time and season of great wrestling for the blessing, or will you loose your Faith, Hope and Love?
Will you choose now to dig your heels in deeper and refuse to let Me go, until I call you by a new name and bless you?
For even though Jacob wrestled with God and his hip was broken, look! Fear not! For out of the brokenness came the blessing of a new name, a new identity and a greater destiny.”

Considerations on the Great Reset and the New World Order.
“No one will be part of the New World Order unless he carries out an act of worship to Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he receives L..n initiation.” David Spangler, Director of the United Nations Planetary Initiative Project( Reflections on The Christ, Findhorn, 1978)
‘For more than a year and a half we have been helplessly witnessing the succession of incongruent events to which most of us are unable to give a plausible justification. The pandemic emergency has made particularly evident the contradictions and illogicalities of measures nominally intended to limit contagion – lockdowns, curfews, closures of commercial activities, limitations of public services and classes, suspension of citizens’ rights – but which are disavowed daily by conflicting voices, by clear evidence of ineffectiveness, by contradictions on the part of the same health authorities. There is no need to list the measures that almost all the governments of the world have taken without achieving the promised results. If we limit ourselves to the presumed advantages that the experimental gene serum should have brought to the community – above all immunity to the virus and renewed freedom of movement – we discover that an Oxford University study published in The Lancet (here) stated that the viral load of those vaccinated with a double dose is 251 times greater than the first strains of the virus (here),despite the proclamations of world leaders…’ [click to continue..]
My readers have come across this Godly incisive cardinal in a couple of my blogs warning about the danger of Biden and as so-called Catholic. During 20 years spent unwittingly in the devil’s domain I’d heard about Spangler but failed to appreciate his nefarious nature! Continue reading →
“STAY ON HIGH GROUND”…; FOR THE SOUND OF MY GLORY IS NOW RAISING A STANDARD…!!!!
•••So I was woken suddenly last night to these words like a clap of THUNDER in my Spirit,…”STAY ON HIGH GROUND, FOR THE SOUND OF MY GLORIOUS IS RAISING A STANDARD”….as I heard those words,…I saw A ROGUE WAVE RISING OVER THE NATIONS,…and I heard these words,…”SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ASSIGNMENTS OF SATAN”….this was enough to get me out of bed and onto my knees,…as I began to cry out in the Spirit, as I had no words in my own tongue,…
•••Suddenly, I saw in the Spirit SATAN ON THE RUN,…DESPERATELY ATTEMPTING TO TAKE AS MUCH GROUND AS HE COULD,…he was shouting out his marching orders to his hordes instructing them to ‘TAKE, TAKE, TAKE GROUND’, …but as I saw this taking place I HEARD A SOUND RISING FROM THE DEEPER DIMENSIONS OF THE SPIRIT and I saw a WHEEL OF BLAZING FIRE WITHIN A WHEEL,…WITHIN A WHEEL,…WITHIN A WHEEL,…and I saw THE WHEEL WITHIN THE WHEEL OF BLAZING FIRE CARRIED A SOUND,…A SOUND THAT BEGAN TO RELEASE CONFUSION INTO THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS,…A SOUND THAT BEGAN TO DROWN OUT the marching orders of Satan,…
•••I saw this BLAZING WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL BEGINNING TO CIRCLE OVER THE NATIONS,…I watched as HEAVY DARK SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERES OVER NATIONS AND CERTAIN TERRITORIES OF NATIONS BEGAN TO INSTANTLY LIFT,…THE SOUND WAS BRINGING FORTH A GLORIOUS LIGHT THAT WAS NOT ONLY DISPELLING THE DARKNESS BUT IT WAS FULLY ILLUMINATING AND EXPOSING EVERY HIDDEN AGENDA AND ASSIGNMENT OF SATAN,…
•••Then I watched, as THE BLAZING WHEEL OF FIRE WITHIN A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL THEN TURNED AND I SAW IT BEGINNING TO ROLL WITH GREAT POWER AND ACCELERATION ACROSS THE NATIONS AND AS IT ROLLED IT LEFT A TRAIL OF BLAZING FIRE BEHIND IT,…and I saw A HOLY FIRE SETTING A BOUNDARY LINE AROUND CERTAIN NATIONS AND TERRITORIES AND AS I SAW THAT BATTLE LINES WERE BEING DRAWN,…
”THE FIRE OF MY GLORY SHALL DRAW A BOUNDARY LINE THAT THE ENEMY SHALL NOT CROSS, THE FIRE OF MY GLORY SHALL BECOME A FIRE-BREAKER AGAINST THE POWERS OF DARKNESS, …LISTEN! FOR THE SOUND OF MY GLORY SHALL SILENCE THE SOUND OF THE ENEMY AND SHALL CAUSE GREAT CONFUSION AND CHAOS TO COME INTO THE ENEMY’S CAMP,…FOR THE FIERY WHEEL OF MY GLORY SHALL ROLL FORTH ACROSS THE NATIONS TO BRING A NEW AND DIVINE ALIGNMENT AND A RE-ORDERING TO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH IN THIS CRITICAL HOUR”…!!!!
Next, around 4pm:
“A DIVINE UNRAVELING AND A SUDDEN BREAKING OF THE REIGNS OF DEMONIC POWER OVER THE LAND”…!
This afternoon while busy taking care of a particular errand,…suddenly I felt an overwhelming unction to go before the Lord,…I saw a scroll being released out of the Spirit realm and I saw that it was suspended in mid-air,…but strangely as I looked at it,…I was shown that the scroll was being offered to whoever would take the time to stop and open their mouth wide to eat it,…YES!…that might sound strange but I believe God is looking FOR THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY, those who are cultivating a lifestyle of WAITING, WATCHING AND BEING READY TO ENGAGE WITH HEAVEN…for the hour is critical,…and there is a CALL TO COME UP HIGHER..!!!
So as I went before the Lord and I waited on Him,…suddenly the Scroll dropped,…and as I saw myself opening my mouth wide to eat it in the Spirit, immediately I saw the American flag come up before,…and it was raised on a flag pole,…when suddenly a PURE WHITE DOVE appeared in the sky,…and began to circle the American flag that was on the flag pole,…and as I watched the Dove begin to fly around the flag pole,…I saw that its wings began to generate a strong wind that began to move the flag,,….and as the Dove continued to circle round and round the flag pole so the winds got stronger and stronger until the flag could be seen flapping wildly in the strong winds,..,and then after the seventh time of the Dove circling the flag pole,…I saw the Dove fly up to the flag that was being blown violently in the wind and I saw the beak of the Dove take hold of a tiny thread in the material of the flag and I watched as the flag suddenly began to UNRAVEL,….and I heard these words,…
”WATCH FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION COMES ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE,…WATCH AS A SUPERNATURAL UNRAVELING BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE AS THE MIGHTY WINDS OF MY SPIRIT BLOW FORTH UPON THIS NATION,…FOR THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL SOON CRUSH SATAN UNDER HIS FEET”….
••••As I heard those words,…suddenly I saw JB riding on a horse,…and I watched as he was trotting,…but then he took a whip that was in his hand and he began to whip the horse and dig his heels into the horse’s side,…and as he did this the horse began to canter,…and then I watched as he began to whip the horse even harder and dig his heels even deeper into the horse’s side and he began to shout loudly for the horse to go faster and just as the horse began to go from a canter into a full on gallop,…my eyes were drawn to the bridle and two small metal bolts that seemed to hold the bridle in the horse’s mouth and it looked to be coming loose when suddenly,…I heard a loud snapping sound and the main strap that connected the bridle to the reigns broke in two, …and I watched as the bridle that controlled the direction of the horse fell out of the horse’s mouth and the entire head gear and reigns of the horse that was in the hands of JB fell to the ground,…and suddenly I saw JB loose all control of the reigns and horse and he fell hard to the ground,…and with thick dust filling the air,…I heard these words,…
”WATCH! FOR THERE WILL BE A SUDDEN BREAKING OF THE REIGNS OF DEMONIC POWER THAT HAS SOUGHT TO CONTROL AND BRIDLE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER THIS LAND,…WATCH! AS THE ONE THAT SITS UPON HIS HIGH HORSE IS SUDDENLY AND SWIFTLY BROUGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SHALL NEVER RECOVER”…!!
PS; I believe GOD IS REVEALING A POWERFUL PROPHETIC TIME-LINE concerning JB and how things will begin to unfold,…but at when things look to be taking an even greater and more accelerated pace…(an even greater exerting of more and more power and control over the Nation and a digging in deeper and deeper of the heels through rebellion and pride)….when SUDDENLY AND SWIFTLY GOD WILL DEAL WITH THE ONE THAT SITS HIGH UPON HIS HORSE AND BRING HIM TO THE GROUND…!!!
As well as yesterday’s word about supernatural paradigm shifts and reversal of the curse Veronika also published this in His Kingdom Prophecy, and which takes previous prophetic visions further – love the Lord’s ‘BACK TO THE FUTURE’ reference:
During my time of prayer with The LORD for the Nations this morning, I saw The Finger of God drawing a line in the sand, and then I heard a loud sound of screaming and shrieking coming from deep within the Nations and I saw the powers and principalities of darkness fleeing in seven directions.
Now as I stayed watching, The Finger of God drawing a line in the sand, I felt a tangible shift taking place in the Realm of The Spirit over the Nations.
Then suddenly, I saw the line in the sand beginning to curve, and a Full Circle appeared before in the Vision.
As I looked at the Full Circle, I heard these Words,
”Watch — as My Finger of Justice now moves within The Sands of Time to draw Boundary Lines within the Nations.
“For Nations are now being Realigned and Rearranged for a greater outpouring of My Spirit draws nigh.
“Watch! For a Divine and Supernatural Circling Back to The Future is now taking place over the Nations of the earth.”
As I heard those Words, suddenly I saw the Full Circle become as a Gold Signet Ring upon The Finger of God, and then I heard,
”The Gold Signet Ring of The Synergy of The Ages!
“Watch! For a time of Divine Overturning of demonic thrones and the shattering of the powers of foreign kingdoms shall take place!”
As those powerful Words washed over me, I heard The Spirit say,
”Watch, as My Finger of Justice now moves within The Sands of Time to bring the Nations full circle.
“Watch — as My Finger of Justice begins to circle back to Redeem Time, to Restore the fortunes of Zion and to Reform a Righteous Remnant that has been scattered.
“Watch — as My Righteous Right Hand goes forth to bring to full Completion and Perfection the good work that I have started within the Nations of the Earth!”
I’ve occasionally encountered opposition over some postings – thereby indicating they are of particular significance, which then gets quickly confirmed within a day or two that my action was definitely on the right track. On this occasion I soon received the following from the leader of Catch The Fire in Toronto:
GOD IS CRASHING OUR CHURCH MEETINGS
By Steve Long
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (NIV)
Let all things be done decently and in order. (NKJV)
Doing all things in a beautiful and orderly way. (Passion)
1 Corinthians 14:40
Around the world, the Spirit of God is moving. There are signs within Catch The Fire Partner churches that a fresh wave is here and it’s about to crash in on us again. Many other churches in other denominations and movements are experiencing similar things. God is showing up uniquely.
The ‘Luke 4:18’ Prophetic Word
Years ago, Paul Cain’s mother passed away on April 18th at 4:18 pm. (Paul was one of the key prophetic people whose ministry focused on revival.) Just before Viola died, she came out of her coma to give a prophetic blessing to her son and Mike Bickle (leader of International House of Prayer), who was also in the room.
The prophetic word was from Luke 4:18 related to the anointing. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
Fast-forward to April 2021. Chris Reed, who is about to minister at IHOP on the April 7-10th weekend, has a dream from the Lord. The dream says “When the prince has passed, 4:18 will begin.”
Chris shares this with the IHOP leadership to see if it meant anything to them. Daniel Lim, the CEO, knew of Paul Cain’s prophetic word about 4:18 and tied them together. On April 9th, while Chris was ministering at IHOP, Prince Philip of England passed away.
On Sunday, April 18th, 2021 the anointing from Luke 4:18 was seemingly freshly released around the world. It would appear that none of the churches experiencing this wave yet knew about the 4:18 word.
At Hope City Church, a Catch The Fire Partner church in Melbourne, Australia, the Spirit of God dramatically interrupted their Sunday meeting on April 18th.
Andrew McGrath, the senior leader, said, “As I stood up to preach, people fell out of their seats, unusual manifestations occurred. I had heard God say in the week leading to the 18th that I needed to start teaching on the glory, so I prepared to teach on Matthew 17 and the transfiguration. And it came. On the 18th, a spirit of prophecy flowed, and I felt I could prophesy over everyone with such ease. People have been delivered, and others were filled with the Spirit after the service in the cafe!”
God Is Moving In Catch The Fire Partners
Since April 18, churches throughout the Catch The Fire Partners family have seen an increase in God’s movements. At Catch The Fire Church in Auckland, New Zealand, gemstones appeared at the feet of many of the attendees. Pastor Stu Allan said that “The Spirit identified the evangelists in their congregation and marked them via these gems.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Greensboro, North Carolina, they are seeing the spontaneous weight of God’s glory, laughter and deliverances. Jacob Murphy says, “A few times, the preacher has moved WAY past their prepared notes into revelatory preaching.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Boulder, Colorado, the Holy Spirit is releasing spiritual sight. The seer gift is resulting in dreams, visions, and angelic activity, especially with children. Christie Owings shares, “We are experiencing God’s presence in tangible ways, and we are all filled with awe and wonder!”
At Catch The Fire Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, people who had formerly left the church angrily have come back with repentance and humility. They are also gaining a reputation as a place of inner healing and restoration.
At Horizon Church, a Catch The Fire Partner Church in Lorrainville, Quebec, they are seeing a measured increase in God’s presence. They have greater freedom and authority to release the anointing. Pastor Terry Caron says, “I feel we are entering into a new season of His glory.”
At Catch The Fire Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, they have, over the past three months, felt a coming revival similar to the Welsh and Hebrides revivals. They’ve had a dramatic increase in angelic and spirit visitations and prophetic dreams. Pastor Ken Haslam says, “One of the words over us as a church right now is to prepare the way for the Lord.”
[NB] At Catch The Fire Church in Toronto, Ontario, Lillian Brown was preaching on the topic of end-time glory, when the glory came and she just couldn’t continue to preach ! Toronto is in lockdown and the few others in the room were on their faces under the weight of what was happening.
All of these churches, plus many others, have seen this increase in the presence of God since April 18th, 2021.
What Is An Encounter With God?
Many of the Catch The Fire Partner churches around the world share the same vision statement; To Encounter God’s Transforming Presence. We believe that God is to be experienced, not just talked about. When the Bible says to know Father God it isn’t talking about information and facts, rather it is referring to tangible experiences.
Every significant personality the Bible talks about had experiences with God. Enoch walked with God, Moses talked to God face to face, David had God’s heart, Paul met Jesus on a road, the twelve disciples all had God moments.
Revival and A History Of Critics
When God shows up, not everyone likes it. I’m not talking about people outside the church. There are some followers of Jesus who don’t like what their church now looks like.
In 1994, Catch The Fire Church in Toronto (then known as Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship) had about 300 attendees on a Sunday. They were a growing congregation experiencing God moving occasionally via healings, some people being slain in the spirit, some people crying. People were okay with occasional occurrences, but when it was almost everyone was having tangible experiences, it frightened and confused people. Many left.
It wasn’t until September 1994 that we were able to double the size of our meeting space by leasing an empty warehouse in the industrial plaza where we were located. We told all the international guests to go to the overflow and watch the Sunday meeting from there while our church family met. Shockingly, there were only 100 people left in the church meetings. 200 attendees didn’t like the crowds, didn’t like the manifestations, didn’t like the long meetings, didn’t like something and left.
Bill Johnson tells the same story. When he pushed in for more of the Spirit at Bethel, in Redding, California, and when the Spirit came; people left. In his case 2/3rds of the church family left as they didn’t like the way that Bill and Benni were allowing the Spirit of God to operate.
The critics of what happens when the Spirit moves, often refer to the verse at the start of this blog. They say, “1 Corinthians 14:40 says that things need to be done decently and in order.” They feel that leaders aren’t leading the way they should be.
But what is the criteria? What does decently and in order mean?
As we read 1 Corinthians, we see many corrections that Paul is making for this church, and for us today. He gave protocols for how we take part in remembering the body and blood of Jesus. He talked about eating meat offered to idols. He spent two chapters talking about how prophecy and tongues fit into a church gathering.
Look at Paul’s conclusion on how church meetings are to be conducted.
Following The Spirit and Scripture
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. 1 Corinthians 14:39-40 NIV
Paul says that the supernatural is to be pushed into rather than being limited. We are to be expecting that the prophetic will happen each meeting (in our small groups and large gatherings). When people have prophetic words via tongues, we give room for them to be shared and we listen.
Perhaps because our church in Toronto started out as a Vineyard church, I lean on the wisdom of John Wimber who was the founder of this brand of church. He was very used to people not liking how the Spirit of God was manifesting at his church in Anaheim, California, or in his international travelling ministry.
I remember Wimber in Toronto speaking at a pastor’s gathering with several hundred leaders from our city. The question was asked by someone who didn’t like our “brand” of Toronto blessing meetings. “What I see at these meetings is not decent and in order.” He quoted 1 Corinthians 14:40.
John Wimber in his wisdom asked the pastor. “Do you allow the prophets to speak every Sunday? Do you let people sing and speak in tongues during worship?” The Toronto pastor answered “No.”
John Wimber then said something like this. “The verse you quoted starts out with Do Everything. Because you haven’t started obeying that part of the verse, you have no right to criticize me or John Arnott. We are attempting to do everything. We are seeking to lead decently and in order but you can only do that after you start Doing Everything.”
Wow. What an answer.
I remember how pastored and fathered I was as a new leader at Catch The Fire Toronto. I remember that my spirit jumped and encouraged me to push for more of the Spirit, rather than holding back.
When God Comes To Your Church
John Wimber was also famous for asking another question of pastors. “How do you know that God attended your meeting last Sunday?” He was looking for tangible evidence that God was in the room doing things that only God can do.
Anyone can speak a great sermon. You don’t need to be a follower of Jesus to do that. Anyone can say a nice-sounding prayer. Anyone can sing a song backed by a great band of musicians. None of these are evidence that God showed up to your church.
So how do we measure God being in the room?
By experiences that people have. By an accurate prophetic word or words of knowledge. By a dramatic healings and miracles. By testimonies of changed lives. By seeing demons leave people. By favour coming on people and giving them promotions and opportunities. By healing the emotions of troubled people. By raising people from the dead, and more than we can even imagine.
As we see more evidence that the Spirit of God is visiting the Catch The Fire Partners churches around the world, let’s all push in for more. Let’s celebrate when Lillian Brown can’t finish her talk. Let’s celebrate when gemstones show up, feathers float down from the rafters, people shake for an hour, and experience God is ways that we couldn’t have imagined.
It means Father God is in the room, and that is always a good thing! Let’s start by doing everything!
RB’s Footnote:
Nina and I have very fond memories of our times in Toronto, especially her awesome healing when John Arnott heard the Lord telling him ignore his message as He wanted to do some healing. So visit Catch The Fire, read their take on prophecy and politics.
In view of my personal re-focus and a debate arising from last Thursday’s post, this by my End-times friend posted 8th April is now a featured item:
ARE WE READY?
I have been trying to grasp something that has been hovering on the edge of my consciousness for a while. Last week I had a dream where I urgently needed to fly home (from Germany, I think). I had not booked a flight, I had not arranged for transport to the airport, I had not shaved, I didn’t have a razor, I didn’t even have a washbasin, I had not packed; and so it went on. Each element of the dream identified another level of unpreparedness. Continue reading →
As I was searching to find the information of what some people are talking about concerning the rumors of Billy Graham being a very wicked man, these folks may be disappointed for I wanted the truth. Where is the proof this man did such horrid things…that no one else can find the proof of other than sources said. So, the more I search, I keep finding more revealing Holy Spirit filled work that is as powerful today as the day he preached it. This led me to many great awarenesses and remembrances, as his words caused me to go back in time a bit…
HELL IS WALKING ON TOP OF THE EARTH and we know not until the flood comes and takes us away…I for one, am not going to spend my last moments arguing with those who bring rumors. There is too much work to do to prepare, and to many that need some help in getting ready. The news is changing minute to minute and the shaking is increasing. We are headed right into a summer of maggotts crawling all over everything of God. Attacking from all sides so there is a lot of lifting up and faith building that needs to be aroused out of each one who hears the call to stand and hold up those who may fall prey to evil rumors and lies.
In view of the debate over Franklin Graham’s very incomplete thoughts on how Jesus would deal with vaccinations, had they been available two millennia ago, Dianne digs into accusations about his father and gives a commendable description on the nature of the current spiritual battle raging on earth.
IN ADDITION TO THE ARMOUR WE HAVE THE BLOOD-COVERING OF JESUS!
As promised in her brief notice on Monday, Veronika has now published full details on her Ignite Ireland Ministries. (As it’s a long-read I’ve not been able to edit its Facebook formatting, but have emboldened sub-heads, as well as Veronika’s references to the Lord’s words, to help this continuous script read more easily on WordPress.):
Further to Chris Moyler’s recommendation on Monday of essential viewing, I’m so pleased Carolyn Stewart kindly provided Chris G Bennett with this transcript (NB. bold-face added and some “says the Lord” amended to … for ease of reading). I note once again a clearly implicit reference to the parable of the wheat and tares at the imminent world-wide harvest!…

Opening Prophecy
“For many said have said,” says the Lord, “That ‘God failed us’, and that I did not come through for you. But know this, I am never late. I am always on time. And I thy God say to thee: Watch me now, because I’m going to shake the earth and I’m going to shake the heavens…I’m going to shake the earth because of the blood of the innocents that has been shed in the soil, not only of this nation but around the world,..because the earth has been filled with innocent blood that is crying unto Me, I am now going to judge the nations for what they have done to the innocent around the world”, says the Lord. “And I am going to send an earthquake around the world, and it won’t just be in this nation, but I’m going to begin to shake nations. This will not be just a spiritual earthquake,..but this is going to be a natural earthquake, and it will be like nothing that you have ever seen. There will be many many casualties,..because I am going to put the Fear of God back in this world. And I, thy God, say unto thee that, though you think that I have failed, I am not yet done with the election.”
The Lord says: “I have warned you not to touch My anointed and to do My prophets no harm. I made Donald Trump…My anointed, and you have touched him,” saith God to the wicked. “And because you have touched him,..you have touched My anointed. And I will restore that man,..because I am King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And though you have mocked Me,..and you have stood and said this cannot happen, I am God…and I raise up kings and I put down kings. And to those that have mocked My prophets,” says God, “I am in an hour when I am vindicating My prophets,..for I have waited a season,..to uncover the false prophets, and to those who would not stand for My word. And also in this hour,.. I have allowed those churches to fold that did not honour My Presence, and I withdrew My Presence from them. They will not come back,..and I will take their buildings and their facilities, and I will give them unto the righteous,” says God. “For did I not say I would give you vineyards you have not planted, and houses that you have not built,..for I am uncovering the muscles of My arm in this hour,” saith God.
“I also say to you: Watch the domes, watch the domes, watch the domes. Watch the dome in Jerusalem. Watch the dome in Rome and watch the dome in Washington DC,” says the Lord. “For they have risen up and rebelled against My hand. And there shall be a crack,..by the Hand of God that shall be the rock that the very nations of this earth, for this is My hour,” saith God, “and there are those that have said that the church is dead, and she is weak and she has been defeated. But know this,” saith the Lord, “I will not come back for a church that is weak, that is spotted, that is wrinkled and that is defiled. For the timeline is wrong that men have said that I am done. But know this:
“By the end of 2024 the light and the glory of God will be so bright in the earth that men and women will be drawn unto My Presence, and unto My Spirit. For this is not just a revival, but this is the final harvest,” saith the Lord, “that I am going to draw from all nations, and I am going to cause the wicked to bow down to the hand of the Almighty. And I am going to fill My House, not only with souls, but with the honour and the glory and the Majesty of God. So choose what side you are on, for evil has triumphed, but I say to them, I am saying that that day is over. This is the Day of the Church. This is the Day of the Glory of God. I am going to cause the wicked to turn on each other, and there will be a devouring spirit and I will cause them to tell each other secrets in the public square. They will reveal the evil that has been done out of their own mouth. For I am God,” saith the Lord. “I bow down to no man. This is My hour,” saith the Lord. “This is My time,” saith God. “So lift up your voice because this is your time. Shout up to the Lord because I am still God and I rule and reign,” says the Lord.
Other Prophecies on 14th March
‘I want to encourage you in the Lord. You have stepped over into a dimension. You and I have touched something that is divine, and that is supernatural, and that is holy. The Lord says that this is a God-portal right now in this place. And God said: “I am expanding this God-portal. And I will always provide room for the harvest that is coming into the Kingdom of the Lord.” And the Lord says, “As it was in John G Lake, in his ministry in Spokane, where over 100,000 people with bone-fide diseases were healed by the power of the Lord,” God says, “Get ready. They are going to come from other States.”
‘The Lord says, “You will see that day where I am moving you. You will have a place for ambulances to drive up and they will be in line.” And God says, “They will come out of the ambulances being carried, but they will come out of the building walking by the power of the Holy Ghost.” The Lord says that “I have reserved in Myself a release of the Anointing and of the Glory of God.” God says, “Get ready, because I am going to so baptize you with the Glory of Myself that there will be church around the clock. The house of the Lord will always be open. That nothing else will matter,” says the Lord. “That the glory, the glory, the glory. Even right now,..I opened the heaven over this congregation, by the power of My Spirit, and I loose on you the desires on your heart, may there be liberty come, divine healing begins to flow, jobs begin to come.”
In the name of the Lord, the baptism of Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues be released right now in the name of Jesus. Every demon is fleeing, hallelujah. Every demon is bowing down at the name of Jesus. “For this is My hour, and as I release the fear of God in this nation, you will not be moved, be not dismayed,” saith theLord, “for I have raised up a Goshen in this hour for My men and women, that they will be protected and untouched. You will see a thousand fall on your one hand and 10,000 on the other, but it shall not come nigh unto thy dwelling. And the plague that is yet to come upon the earth, it will not touch the church,” saith the Lord. “It will not touch you. For there is an immunity in your Spirit called the Blood of the Lamb. And this day I make covenant with you,..that My Hand and My Glory is upon you. Release, release, release! May the Cloud of the Glory of God be released on you, the sound of the Lord come up out of your spirits.”

Upon reading my post gathering items Dianne Marshall blogged on ‘Lights, camera, action’ for the ‘Joe Biden Show’ after his unusual ‘inauguration’ and the latest discoveries of fake ‘live news,’ I’m astonished Veronika messages me last night with a couple of links as follows:
For intercessors’ information, Lisa Nolland based in Bristol has written to me:
I lead an email-based prophetic/strategic prayer group praying into the US election aftermath, and praying DT back into office. If any would like to see a sample please email drlisa1957@gmail.com
Sunday was the 12th anniversary of my first writing on Bible prophecy playing out in our days. And having been stunned by the privilege of being given the Lord’s opinion direct on the matter, I was left with absolutely no doubt whatsoever about it!! But more on that shortly…
Thus, began a small flow of emails to friends and church leaders drawing attention to how current events seem to tie into the scriptures.
In fact, I’d forgotten all about that until early this morning when mulling over the blog I’ve started drafting on developments in America and a certain political theory on what’s happening; and which appears to reflect scriptural and contemporary prophecies!
And just like 12 years ago, I was ‘nudged’ to check what Jesus had said about God’s Kingdom being likened to His sowing a field of wheat and finding it contaminated by weeds. So, in my quiet time after breakfast I checked that particular parable in Matthew chapter 13 and considered how it fits in with the Apocalypse, or Book of Revelation, as well as with ‘The Rapture’ outlined in Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians.
Therefore, I decided the draft-blog needs splitting; that is, the bad and the good bits separating into two parts (LOL I now realise how that reflects the parable HA)! BUT the story of that scripture really necessitates an introductory background for that blog. Only then did I recall the original email I’m now writing about – AND little did I suspect that MORE was yet to arrive!!
Having read, contemplated and decided upon that action plan, I booted up the pc and the very first thing I spotted was a comment sent two hours earlier by ‘hitch-hiker’ Tim Shey far over ‘the Pond’ in Idaho. It connects directly into what I was contemplating with the Lord! Tim’s contribution follows shortly…
FIRST, here’s the vital part of that first email The Endgame Is Now In Play sent on 28th February 2009: ‘Last year, I encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matt 13:36). So I went to check scripture BUT upon opening my Bible a deep excitement exploded within as I heard,
“This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOW!!’
Now, so we don’t miss its great import, let’s read what Jesus says after explaining why he teaches the masses in parables, whereas His disciples are entitled to know the mysteries of heaven (Matt 13 NKJV, BibleGateway.com – emphases mine):
‘Another parable He put forth to them, saying:“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, butgather the wheat into my barn.”
NB: tares, also known as darnel, is similar to ordinary wheat, but carries a toxic fungus.
The Parable of the Tares Explained
37 ‘He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares arethe sons of the wicked one.39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil,the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.40 Therefore, as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.41 The Son of Man will send out His angels,and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire.There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Revisiting Jesus’ explanation of the parable and how evil people will be dealt draws a distinct parallel with current events in all realms of affairs, especially as explained by a British computer specialist whose investigation of election fraud, and reference to his essays on the ‘Q’ phenomenon, are included in my coverage of the US election fraud.
Then, as mentioned above, in comes Tim Shey’s comments (read thread here). Not only do they relate directly to one of the main sources of ‘Q’ theory in quoting Cesare Sachetti’s Tweets, but also to last week’s posts on Queen Esther. Read Tim’s terrific insight carefully:
‘Sacchetti writes: “Trump is demolishing the deep state under the puppet Biden administration. Basically, Trump is using his enemies to fulfill his goal and defeat the globalist cabal. Trump is beyond Sun Tzu.”
‘It looks like the Book of Esther and Haman hanging from his own gallows revisited. The Lord is in control and President Trump is absolutely brilliant.
‘I love Sacchetti’s quote: “Trump is beyond Sun Tzu”. Sun Tzu, of course, wrote the classic THE ART OF WAR. I read half of THE ART OF WAR a number of years ago. Halfway through, the Lord told me to stop reading Sun Tzu’s book. I asked the Lord, Why? (because it is an excellent read). The Lord told me, “The man who obeys the Lord defeats Sun Tzu every time.”
‘Praise the Lord! Sun Tzu was a great military strategist, but the Lord can run circles around Sun Tzu any time He wants to. Glory to God in the Highest!
‘Trust and obey.’
Please keep all this in mind as background for the next postings and we will see how the dots are getting connected – or pieces falling into place in God’s Invisible Jigsaw.
After the previous post I trust you have now read the reference to ‘The King’s Ring’ in the prophetic vision recounted by Tim Dixon. This dream is highly significant in referring to vast crowds in Washington congratulating Trump and its revealing a hidden, secret person holding The King’s Ring, which he’s had since Trump left office!
On Tuesday I got this directly relevant email from David Chapman, one of this blog’s authors (emphasis therein added):
‘We had a v good Sun morning prayer time, and saw for first time – I know I’m slow on some things! – how Esther in 8 v 1 has a second plea to the King and the sceptre held out again. This time to plead for the safety of all Jews everywhere.
‘The King then told her and Mordecai to write the Decree and Seal it with his ring! We actually put together our own Decree for this present w/w situation from that account, based on America of course at present but clearly much wider, which was a completely new understanding for us regarding Decrees. So we know God is up to something. Many blessings, Dave.’
I asked if he’d would kindly prepare a briefing on this, which with the editorial assistance of his dear wife Ann reads as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL DECREEING FROM A BIBLICAL BASE
Queen Esther by Edwin Long (1878)
Many, if not most of us, are familiar with the story told in the Book of Esther of how Esther, a Jewess, became Queen (church bride type) to the King Xerxes (Jesus typology) of the Persian Empire some 500 years before Christ actually came to the earth. She was rightly positioned to petition the King – placing her own life on the line – to save her people from the Decree that the wicked Haman (anti-Christ Governor type) had made to kill, destroy and annihilate all Jews on a certain future date. Of how Mordecai (watchman type) urged her to go before the King, as she had “come to the Kingdom for such a time as this” 4 v 14, to plead their cause.
After prayer and fasting for three days, she did so, and to her relief the King held out his Golden Sceptre to her. She requests a Feast for him and Haman together. That night she holds back her real reason for the Feast and asks for another evening Feast the next night. The King grants her the request. Meanwhile Haman is enraged that Mordecai will not bow to him, and at the advice of his wife (Jezebel type) builds a gallows to hang Mordecai on.
The next night at the Feast the King asks Esther what is her request. She states there is a plot to kill all her own people. After finding it out it was Haman’s plot, which had been decreed with the Kings seal (signet ring) he orders Haman to be hung on his own gallows! (7 v 9) Moreover, Mordecai was introduced by Queen Esther to the King as her relative that had brought her up, and he was given the King’s signet ring and charge over Haman’s house! Time for rejoicing, celebration at such a great victory, and go prepare their own Feast! NO SUCH THING. Continue reading →
THE WHOLE POPULATION – EVEN CHURCHGOERS! – ARE BOWING THE KNEE TO THE SPIRIT OF FEAR RUNNING RAMPANT ACROSS OUR NATIONS.
CHRISTIANS, FORGET NOT YOUR TRUE IDENTITY IS IN CHRIST JESUS and so WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER ALL unclean spirits, demonic and human! (Hence my using lower case to put them in their place!)
When taking authority over the, command them by “In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who came in the flesh!”, for there are deceiving spirits calling themselves ‘Jesus’!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all my regular readers and contributors, subscribers, visitors and folk who occasionally drop-in here and on Facebook, for it’s you who encourage me to keep going since I went public by launching this blog on 21.11.2011 – now it’s heading for 2 million views!!
Our dear friend Veronika West posted this at Ignite Ireland Ministry on Saturday prior to a full-some prophetic flow:
Then yesterday, 16th February, she writes,
“SATAN HAS POWER….BUT….IT IS LIMITED….;FOR THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE LEASH….DETERMINES THE PERIMETERS AND SETS THE BOUNDARIES”…!!!
•••Yesterday afternoon while out walking and talking with Holy Spirit the Lord quickened a powerful word to me,…that I shared concerning the LIMITATIONS OF THE ENEMIES’ POWER….,so on my return home I scrambled through my past prophetic journals and found the very word that the Lord had suddenly flooded my spirit with on my walk….
•••As you read…LET FAITH, HOPE AND EXPECTATION BEGIN TO RISE AND EVERY THOUGHT OF FEAR, DOUBT AND UNBELIEF BE UPROOTED AND TORN DOWN…!
That word was published on September 4th 2019 by His Kingdom Prophecy, as below:
Thank you Lord for doubly blessing me last night and this morning.
Wednesday evening is when Catch The Fire Church, Farnborough opens its zoom meeting to Christians who are not formally on its members’ roll. Recent open meetings have been spent ‘soaking’ in worship and last night’s, Wednesday 10th February, began by reading Psalm 46 and focusing upon its closing verses
‘Be still, and know that am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.’ Selah.
As our minstrel began quietly worshiping I had a sense of seeing a large white robe in front of me but I was viewing at its mid-chest level. I knew someone was there but was unable to distinguish the person because they were only inches in front of my face!
Then I ‘heard’….“I am ‘WHO I AM’!”
The final three words state and describe His identity as containing EVERYTHING about Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as containing THE WHOLE COSMOS, ALL of our Father’s Creation! I was left ‘WOW’
After our soaking the prophetical pastor said that Word confirms the nature of the paper he’s writing: ie. Jesus’ “I am” statements! Again I was stunned. Pastor Bird also shared a vision of armies of angels stationed in many locations worldwide, their swords readied for circumcising the hearts of Jesus’ followers so they may be purified for the imminent harvesting of souls!
THEN today, upon visiting John Barber’s facebook I espied this published in Las Vegas only yesterday, Wednesday 10th February, in confirmation of pastor’s vision – another instance of the spiritual Bridge o’r The Pond’, perhaps angels are using it to get across the Atlantic!
The above-titled 18th Century hymn by William Cowper is one that moved me deeply on hearing it sung in my primary school morning assembly and music classes. Let’s bear it in mind as we append this blog to the previous parts of this series.
MOREOVER, it’s timing is most encouraging because these video clips were sent to me ‘coincidentally’ early today from two sisters in the Lord, one by email and other on FB messenger – so thank you J and S:
Moreover, this ‘God-incidence’ is yet another example how when the negative strikes then the Lord is swift to bring encouragement that I’m in His will and thus brings His peace.
You see, as well as these items in came three contrary comments politely at odds with prophecy! So the above videos encouraged me greatly in responding to enquiries and blogging with a hectic schedule.
IS DONALD TRUMP’s HEART FOR THE KINGDOM? – THE SERIES:
This afternoon while busy taking care of a particular errand,…suddenly I felt an overwhelming unction to go before the Lord,…I saw a scroll being released out of the Spirit realm and I saw that it was suspended in mid-air,…but strangely as I looked at it,…I was shown that the scroll was being offered to whoever would take the time to stop and open their mouth wide to eat it,…YES!…that might sound strange but I believe God is looking FOR THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY, those who are cultivating a lifestyle of WAITING, WATCHING AND BEING READY TO ENGAGE WITH HEAVEN…for the hour is critical,…and there is a CALL TO COME UP HIGHER..!!!
