Fulfilled Prophecies catalogue now rebuilt

Posted on by

Introducing the paper on The State of The Prophetic in the UK – 2nd edition I asked my readers a couple of questions:

  1. Do you know that news media headlines and cartoons have mirrored two dozen prophecies by unwittingly quoting their text or imagery…?
  2. Do you know how presidents Trump and Obama unknowingly participated in fulfilling British prophecies?

Then in the next brief blog I claimed to know “150 examples of non-personal prophetic words and visions coming to pass in recent years”.

All this made me mull over the impact of those statements, which is immense because it attests to the frequency, power and validity of accepted prophetic utterances in Britain!!

Therefore, I’ve spent a few days restructuring this site’s catalogue of fulfilled prophecies – which includes updates on developments in those that are moving toward fulfillment. This catalogue has been compiled over several years but was in need of re-organising.

It was an intricate task because half the collection was numbered and linked in order of publication as specific prophecies came to pass. The remainder, being updates or news on progress, had no numbering – and those relating to the EU Referendum result are located elsewhere.

Now, all items are numbered using two different notations yet remaining in consecutive order. The originals retain their ‘#’ prefix in bold font, and newly numbered items show their number in ordinary font without a prefix. (This is explained in the catalogue.)

Also, for ease-of-reference the listing is re-organised with prophecies that have been echoed or mirrored in the media at the beginning. The catalogue closes with a linked listing to all updates relating to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Therefore, you are most welcome to peruse this site’s Prophecies – Fulfilled page.

NB >> ANSWER to question 2 is found at numbers 106 and #16, which are dated January 2017 and adjacent to one another in the ‘Chronological Validations’ listing.

“I’m aware of 150 examples of non-personal prophetic words and visions coming to pass in recent years, two dozen of which their text or images have been unwittingly repeated in the news media.” (Richard Barker)

And that’s only those known to me personally, as reported on this blog. So there must be many more out there of which I’m unaware. That number also includes over two dozen accurate prophecies on the outcome of the 2016 EU Referendum.

Do you know that news headlines and cartoons have mirrored two dozen prophecies by unwittingly quoting their text or image, even in a Prime Ministerial speech? Also, that their incidence has increased rapidly in the last two years?

Thus, not only actual events but also the way they’ve been reported has validated many modern prophecies, thereby giving prophets credibility. For example, presidents Trump and Obama unknowingly participated in fulfilling British prophecies! (See Appendix C.)

I was honoured to be tasked by Revd Yinka Oyekan of The Gate in Tilehurst, Reading, with writing a briefing paper for guests unfamiliar with prophecy attending the One Voice Prophetic Conference in Reading, on 8th February. The paper gives them an overview of the prophetic in Britain, together with some examples of fulfilled prophecies.

If you were a delegate there you may have seen it as one of two papers in their email’s Dropbox links, and which was done in collaboration with Geoffrey Pick of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival, and with input from Neil Townsend of Salt and Light, and David Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre.

That paper is now published as a second edition augmented with a two-years old prophecy of the conference, a brief summary plus extra material replete with links.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Through a ‘coincidence’ in mid-1980s, as an unbeliever I learned that Bible prophecy connects into modern events. Whilst flipping through a book on geo-politics quoting ancient Hebrew seers as a documentary on Iran-Iraq war was showing on TV, I saw their elite troops rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem!  1989: a life-saving Visitation from Jesus Christ led to attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), Reading. 2008-9: upon opening my Bible I heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”, thus started writing on signs of Jesus’ return. 2011: a dream on the Kingdom being set-up in UK prompted the launch of this blog for posting news on Biblically-relevant events plus contemporary prophecy and church. (Read full testimony at I’m Free!)

Formerly Reading Community Church, The Gate was formed in July 2005 when TFC and Groveland’s Christian Fellowship, joined together under Yinka’s leadership. Three years earlier, however, my attendance closed because I married Nina and moved.

Therefore, 17 years later I was totally surprised to be invited out-of-the-blue to join a working group to prepare for a conference Yinka was convening for the purpose of enhancing the standing of the prophetic across as many denominations as possible

Whilst discussing the plans in our first video conference a memory of an interior vision suddenly ‘flashed’ –the operative word! – into mind. So I dug into my files and to find the details, which I shared when first announcing the One Voice Prophetic.

1. SUMMARY

This paper provides an overview of the history and development of prophecy within the UK. By nature, it cannot be encyclopaedic and is presented from a personal, thirty-year perspective.

Prophecy can be brought from the holy, spiritual realm into that of factual daily life, thereby confirming a prophecy’s validity. This data demonstrates that not only are Bible prophecies coming to pass in our day, but so too are modern prophecies!

That is, today’s prophets have an established track record additional to that for personal prophecies. It is incumbent, therefore, upon leaders to know what the Lord is saying to, and expects from, churches, nations and individuals, as brought through duly weighed and tested prophecy.

In the 20th Century, prophecy was spasmodic but became more noticed and accepted with the expansion of the charismatic movement and wider outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Since the millennium, prophetic words to the nation began to come more often. Then during its second decade, the quantity and sharing of prophetic visions and words accelerated rapidly – and the timescales of their fulfillment got radically shortened.

Moreover, prophets’ predictions about two nationally historic events were diametrically opposite to ‘expert’ opinion, yet proved 100% correct. Moreover, we’ve witnessed a rapid increase in news media-mirroring of prophetical terms and images as prophecies are fulfilled. AND the present and previous US presidents’ have unwittingly participated in British prophecies coming to pass!

By 2020 many prophecies on what the Lord is doing in Britain have come to pass – 150 examples since 2011 – and thus validated by the news media! So we give Him all the glory for this and the way He’s working through this conference.

As indicated in the final sections, ministries and churches in many towns and cities across Britain are now open to prophecy.

Therefore, prophecy is demonstrably relevant to our national life and should be taken seriously by those inside and outside Church.

2. WHAT IS PROPHECY?

Prophecy (Greek prophetiea) is the ‘speaking forth the mind and counsel of the Lord God’ and thus a declaration that cannot be known by natural means – ie. a direct revelation from God. It is one of the Holy Spirit’s gifts to Jesus’ disciples

Although prophecy is ‘telling forth’ what the Lord is saying rather than ‘foretelling’ the future, that latter aspect is not excluded. So primarily, prophecies shape our hearts and understanding in order to sharpen or challenge the way we think, act and pray.

Apostle Paul referred to apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as ministers appointed for equipping and edifying the body of Christ (Eph 4:7-16). Prophecies through such recognised ministry carry more authority than those from disciples moving in Holy Spirit’s gifting

When received in gatherings of believers it is a protocol of accountability to submit prophecy to someone in authority for weighing and checking that it aligns with scripture and reflects God’s character and purposes. Another person may be aware of something similar from the Lord and confirms what is brought. Thus, by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established’ (Deut 19:15; reiterated by Paul on authority at 2 Cor 13:1, ‘By the word of two or three witnesses every word shall be established’).

So a word spoken as coming from the Lord finds witness within the hearer’s spirit; eg. In Acts 15:28 “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us…” for making decisions at the first Church council.

NKJV Amos 3: Authority of the Prophet’s Message, vv 7-8: ‘Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?’

As with OT prophets, words brought as from the Lord are uplifting, encouraging insights bringing hope. Yet as ‘covenantal watchmen’, today’s prophets may speak into the state of a nation challenging personal and political preferences and activities, as in the current state of widespread personal and national ungodliness.

A couple of observations:

  • “The Word of the Lord, or prophecy, is not solely prediction-based, it is to give the Church God’s narrative on nations on three levels: insight – oversight – foresight.” (Tomi Arayomi)
  • “When God is using prophets… they repetitively are tasked to tell nations where the nation may not be in covenant with another nation – it is a key function of prophets in Scripture. Prophets need to know which nation aligns with which nation. It’s part of our job description!” (Emma Stark)
Related Scriptures:

Matt 7:15-20 – Jesus’ instruction to be aware of and to test false prophecies
1Cor 14:1 – eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy
1Cor 14:29 – two or three prophets should speak and others weigh carefully
1Cor 14:31 – all can prophesy in turn, so all can be instructed and encouraged.

3. THE BIBLE PROPHESIES MODERN EVENTS

End-times are here, as foretold – even defined? – by Jesus: “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all peoples, and then the end will come!” (Matthew 24:14). According to Barnabus Aid magazine: ‘by 2,000 there were indigenous Christians in every country of the world’ (A History of Christian Persecution, Pt 12 – October 2019).

Other examples of End-times prophecy coming to pass in our day: Jewish people return en-mass to their homeland (Zeph 3:19-20, Jer 23:3-8) – increasing apostasy in church teachings (2 Thess2:3) – the return of ‘the days of Noah/Lot,’ as evident in gay-pride parades! (Luke 17:26-29) – waving a hand to buy goods without cash (Rev 13:17) as in today’s cashless society!!

4. HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF MODERN PROPHECY

It is important to acknowledge that fresh seed of the Kingdom was planted in Holy Spirit Revivals in Wales (1904-5) and the Hebrides (1949-52).

Appendices to this paper are linked to the author’s compilation of prophecies delivered over the period 1909-2017, as published in this site’s extensive Prophecy Library, and demonstrate the growth of modern prophecy. The rapidly increasing volume of material necessitated its discontinuance but subsequent prophecies can be found in this site’s monthly archives. All items are to be weighed with the Lord.

  • Appendix A: 20th Century – overview of Holy Spirit moves and major prophets
  • Appendix B: 21st Century – notes on significant prophecies and developments

Appendix A’s most well-known prophecies are Smith-Wiggleworth’s 1947 vision of future revivals and Jean Darnall’s 1967 vision of many local fires and lightning strikes. Many of their forecasts have come to pass, as examined in Geoffrey Pick’s Revival Prophecies – Where Are We Now? [The conference’s second paper.]

In the 1990s, his church elders advised the author that prophecies are normally put in a pending tray because they take many years, even decades, to come to pass. Thus, no-one really knew at the time of receipt if they’re accurate and reliable. However, by 2020 that situation no longer pertains because an increasing number have been fulfilled within months – even days!

The overflow of 1990s Holy Spirit outpouring within Britain made prophetic ministry available. Eg, teams visited Thames valley in 1996; author’s vision of spiritual ‘atomic’ bomb’s fireball rolling along the Thames to London gateway towns, confirms assistant pastor’s vision of 10 years earlier.

Geoffrey Pick writes on the situation after the millenium, “Prophecies were rarely shared outside local church meetings in the UK prior to the rise of social media. Even words that were significant remained within a local church or home-group. Individuals seeking to find out what the Holy Spirit was speaking could not easily find more than a few prophetic words for the nation. Many who received such words for the nation, as I did in October 2000, could not find a platform to share with others. It took 3 years before I found a place to share and that was an International prophecy website. In 2004, encouraged by others, I launched a webpage to bring together UK national prophecy, followed by UK Prophetic Words.”

In 2001, commissioned by ‘father of prophets’ Dr Bill Hamon, Revd Dr Sharon Stone and husband Greg Black moved to England and started Christian International Europe (CIE). Their teaching and ministry encouraged the growth of prophecy in British and European churches. Also, by 2005 New Frontiers church movement was operating with a few recognised prophets.

Personal Perspectives:

A startling open vision in 2004 left the author needing advice. Its content was confirmed the next year by Dr Stone at a conference in Bath, one of a small number of places where local prophetic ministry was already established.

July 2005’s terrorist attack upon London was quickly followed by a profound prophetic vision and message on Britain’s End-time destiny brought by Wendy Alec. Having retired early from an EU governmental agency, this author noted her reference to Britain being entangled by the EU and God’s desire for separation. Hence, he began noticing prophecies on this topic over subsequent years. In addition, Geoffrey Pick published a collection of such prophecies on Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival.

In September 2011, Revd Bill Johnson of Redding, California, confirmed this author’s ‘God-incidental’ dream by referring to that date’s possibility as a turning point in the history of the Kingdom in Britain. Subsequently, there’s been a noticeable, increasing acceleration in the prophetic.

Three years later came a clear vision of an enormous bulldozer demolishing ungodly structures, which eventually began to come to pass after another five years.

5. PROPHECY AS JIGSAW PIECES & GPS

‘…on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed.’ (Deut 19:15)

Bringing prophetic ‘jigsaw pieces’ together

Being active in the prophetic opens one up to Godly coincidences or ‘God-incidents’. The author began noticing an increasing number of prophecies brought by various brethren within days of one another. It can be likened to pieces of an invisible jigsaw falling into place to present a larger prophetical picture – like a team of separated prophets bringing words and visions that fit together to give a bigger picture. [For about 70 examples see ‘Jigsaw’ tag.]

Also, like an aircraft controller at an airport, the author noted over 40 similar prophecies given in various places globally, as though heavenly Father’s got his own GPS system, ie. ‘Global Prophecy Signals’. [For examples visit ‘Gods_GPS’ tag]

One good example, published only days before the conference, tells of two ‘pieces’ that had appeared much earlier than others arriving together via ‘GPS’ – as herein.

Dr Stone describes such serendipity as a Biblical ‘law’ for advancing the Kingdom: “Amazing, accidental discovery! Wow! No matter what we do and what God does, He surprises us with lots more – eg. Pentecost” (see Ephesians 3:14-21).

6. PROPHECIES COME TO PASS

Monitoring the possibility of Wendy Alec’s 2005 Vision for Great Britain coming to pass and learning later of prophetic insights on the outcome of the 2016 EU Referendum, the author collected that data and discovered their accurate predictions confounded those of all ‘expert’ political pundits and pollsters – and likewise for 2019’s general election!

This led to the logical question: how many other prophecies are coming to pass?

So maybe another set of fulfilled prophecies could be gleaned from this site’s cyber-library, the listed content of which is available via Appendix G?

In view of the size of the undertaking, the author looked at prophecies in the preceding 10 years but time constraints prevented in-depth analysis. A list of fulfilled prophecies was compiled over subsequent years.

Appendix C provides links to 150 instances of prophecies since 2001 that have been, or are in the process of becoming, fulfilled. A noticeable trend relates to the Hebrews 12 shaking/exposure of the ungodly, including many examples on the EU, and increasingly includes national media headlines using terms (‘fox’, ‘lion’, ‘bulldozer’) that had already been given in prophecies!!.

Appendices D, E and F are documented prophecies on the 2008 Economic Crash (with copy news), on ‘Exposure with Big Shake-up’ in 2019 and on the General Election.

7. THE PRESENT & FUTURE OF PROPHECY

“For the first time in history Europe’s prophets have come out of their caves” – Revd Dr Sharon Stone (1.2.2020).

The 1980s saw a major restoration of the prophetic movement, and 15-20 years ago teaching and ministry was focused upon the prophetic gifting and not upon training anointed prophets.

Compared with 30 years ago, there’s now a wider appreciation of the gift of prophecy and office of prophet across churches, and many more local ministries across Britain (see Directory). Moreover, the prophetic anointing in Britain may possibly overtake that of America.

In 2020, “We’re standing in the greatest prophetic move in history…God is building His church on the foundation of apostles and prophets.” Dr Stone reckons a reformation in training prophets is now necessary in order to bring breakthrough and shifts in all areas within churches and the nations. Therefore, Christian International Europe in Windsor and Glasgow Prophetic Centre have started new training courses on equipping the prophets.

For some years the UK Council of Prophetic Elders met under Dr Stone’s leading. This has now been succeeded by the British Isles’ Council of Prophets, with Dr Stone and senior prophets and apostles on its Advisory Council. It forms a network of prophetic voices in Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland, Eire and the Channel Isles.

The vision, aims and core values of the British Isles’ Council of Prophets can be read via the preceding link, where its latest prophecies and membership may also be found.

Suggested Goals:

The following goals for prophetic ministry continue to be of importance:

    • Greater focus upon the spiritual state of the nation
    • Linking up of specific scriptures with prophecies
    • Increasing call for accuracy, especially on timing
    • Improved joining of prophecy with intercession
    • Greater influence across all churches and in society.

8. ONE VOICE PROPHETIC CONFERENCE

Geoffrey Pick advises that a prophecy about such a gathering was brought two years ago to the week by Jeroma Davis (13 Feb 2018):

“Thank You Holy Spirit…I am Seeing in the Spirit ….. A Round Table.. A Circle of Seers/Prophets/Deliverance voices/Pastors/Apostles/Prayer Intercessors and Leaders in Ministry forming a Spiritual Bond/Chain Link Globally that will stand the test of time! The enemy is losing ground as The Body of Christ is emerging with a Holy Fire that will never be extinguished. The Call onto Holy Ground will be deeply rooted from Radical Lovers of Jesus Christ as the Holy Fire burns deeply within their hearts! I see flames of the All-Consuming Fire going up into the high heavens as the Bride returns to Purity/Holiness in God our King.”

The stated purpose of One Voice Prophetic Conference 2020 reads:

‘We believe that God is still speaking into the Nation and the Church is responsible for bringing that prophetic word to the attention of leaders, people in power and those who carry responsibility for the care of the Nation. It is important that the word of the Lord comes out of a united ekklesia and we come together from our different streams to speak as One Voice. This is a space for influential voices from the church, business, education and other spheres of influence.’

Pastor Oyekan invited leaders of the Assemblies of God and, as President-elect 2020 of the Baptist Union, especially encourages Baptist churches to take prophecy seriously.

The conference morning began with extended period of worship for intimacy with the Lord and then groups gathered to wait upon Him for words about specific areas and for a few certain individuals, viz:

  • government
  • business & finance
  • international relations
  • emergency services
  • health & social care
  • church denominations
  • justice system
  • the royal family
  • arts & culture
  • education
  • media

Guest speaker Dr Mark Birch-Machin of Speakers of Life outlined a national prophetic strategy based upon the neurological communication principles of the human body.

Revd Betty King, Emma Stark and Veronika West brought teaching and prophecies. Of these, I particularly noted Betty spoke on the vital importance of dealing with buried personal issues that affect our serving the Lord (my wife had received a very effective personal word upon that in the previous week). Emma stressed we’re not to look for a repeat of the Toronto-style Revival because the Lord is already bringing this in a very different format.

In an unscheduled message Veronika revealed what the Lord told her during the night when He alerted her that we need to:

“Get ready, get ready for the stage is set for a spiritual showdown!”

After explaining, she said He will demolish false altars and build new ones throughout Britain where evangelists will emphasise altar-calls once again. Also, an unusual picture of a horse and ox yoked together shows that apostles and prophets will begin working together as teams for the Kingdom.

Drawing to a close, Veronika also prophesied about Reading being on a spiritual hill and of the Lord’s fire coming down. (Confirms impression I’d brought at the working group’s planning meeting in November and previous visions of decades ago, one of which I’d ‘seen’ like an exploding ‘atomic bomb’ with fireball rolling down Tilehurst hill and along the Thames Valley towards the capital, as told in June’s 2nd of four jigsaw pieces!)

Democracy’s Resurgence & Restoration of Sovereignty 23 June 2016 (credit+link to Archbishop Cranmer)

Guess it’s been a long month with my referring only now to the celebration of Britain’s Independence Day of leaving the European Union on 31st January 2020. However, and absolutely without any engineering on my part! – today’s date neatly fits this post into the earlier Yet again ’22’ pops up and Veronika West brings an insight on 02.02.2020!

LOL! Upon searching for that blog in my archive I see the number posted so far this month…22!

It’s been busy time on top of all those blogs. So my only action in regard to our leaving the EU was to re-publish Veronika’s vision of two days earlier of her being on-board a ship turning and heading into a New Day and New Dawn, as told below. I’m re-publishing with my added emphases to draw attention to the details and the way the vision was mirrored five days later by the Prime Minister in his speech on 3rd February – in a location deeply redolent with British naval history; the Royal Naval College in Greenwich!

‘For about a week now I have been hearing in the spirit a DEEP, DEEP sound of WOOD, LIKE WET WOOD that you would hear on the DECKS OF AN OLD SHIP, a deep sound of CREAKING, CRACKING AND MOVING…. it has come to me over and over and over again and every time I heard it I would see so clearly a MASSIVE SHIP MADE OF BEAUTIFUL WOOD, it was OLD AND BATTLE-WORN BUT I COULD FEEL THE GREAT POWER AND STRENGTH THAT LAY DEEP WITHIN ITS FRAME, this ship had seen many things in its time, fought many battles, some defeats but many VICTORIES, I could almost tangibly feel the wind and the moisture in the air and I could almost taste the salt on my lips, but as I stopped to give it my full attention yesterday I said, “Lord what is this?”, and the Spirit said…”THE NATION IS NOW TURNING TO FACE A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN”

‘….those words hit me hard and I felt such a rise within me and I could then tangibly feel the MOVEMENT AND ACCELERATION THAT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE, but as the old ship was TURNING IT WAS SLOW AND VERY PRECISE, IT WAS FINDING ITS BEARINGS, FINDING TRUE-NORTH, the MOVEMENT FELT SLOW… BUT IT WAS TURNING!…I COULD FEEL THE GREAT WEIGHT AND POWER OF THIS ANCIENT SHIP AND THE WATERS OF THE SEA WERE CHURNING, WAVES WERE BEATING HARD AGAINST THE SIDES….BUT WE WERE TURNING!..then suddenly the sound of CREAKING AND CRACKING WOOD changed, and I could hear the sound of howling winds and the sound of voices many voices, COMMANDS WERE BEING GIVEN, and then I heard “RAISE THE SAILS, RAISE THE SAILS”, and then I could hear the sound of RIPPING, RINGING AND WHISTLING AND THEN THE SOUND OF A FAINT FLAPPING which quickly turned to the sound of A MIGHTY BLOWING AND I COULD SUDDENLY FEEL AN ACCELERATION AS THE MIGHTY SHIP TURNED AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD…’(continue reading here).

Now, yesterday I received this excited email from Margaret H entitled the Ship Cartoons’ Extra Relevance:

‘Thank you for posting the cartoons and Veronika’s comment…The extra bit which I thought of straight away is the relevance to Boris’s speech in Greenwich on 3.2.20 (so hours after the cartoons and Veronika’s word about seeing the date of 02.02.2020) where he talked with passion about sovereignty, freedom and global free trade in particular.

Right at the end, he had the nation personified as a ship:

“There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail…the wind sits in the mast. We are embarked now on a great voyage, a project that no one thought in the international community that this country would have the guts to undertake, but if we are brave and if we truly commit to the logic of our mission – open, outward-looking – generous, welcoming, engaged with the world, championing global free trade now when global free trade needs a global champion, I believe we can make a huge success of this venture, for Britain, for our European friends, and for the world.”

‘His reference to ‘there’ follows from what he’d just said about a ‘global perspective’, by which he clearly means something which is the opposite of globalism. It’s part of the taking us back to our ancient ways and true foundations as prophesied universally. He didn’t use those words, but the whole thing is implicit in the setting at Greenwich, looking up at the ceiling, his references to our maritime past, the freedom from tyranny etc. He stage-managed it in true Boris-style. I looked at the transcript of the whole speech on the government website as well as watching it.

‘Veronika saw the ship before Boris described it!

Margaret trusts her contribution “will cause others to rejoice as well”.  The PM began his speech in the famous ‘Painted Hall’ of the Old Royal Naval College (known as ‘Britain’s Sistine chapel’) by directing his audience towards its ceiling (emphases added for ease-of-comparison with Veronika’s vision):

“It is great to welcome everyone here to Greenwich and I invite you first to raise your eyes to the heavens. 

“The Vatican has Michelangelo. Greenwich has Thornhill who spent 20 years flat on his back on top of the scaffolding, so rigid that his arm became permanently wonky, and he’s left us this gorgeous and slightly bonkers symbolic scene that captures the spirit of the United Kingdom in the early 18th century.

“This painting above you was started in 1707, the very year when the union with Scotland was agreed – and does it not speak of supreme national self-confidence?

“Look at these well-fed nymphs and cupids and what have you. They are not just celebrating the Triumph of Liberty and Peace over Tyranny – the official title of the scene. This is the settlement of a long and divisive political question about who gets to sit on the throne of England.

“And it is visibly resolved as you can see in favour of William and Mary and the result is stability and certainty and optimism and an explosion of global trade propelled by new maritime technology.

“And above and around us you can see the anchors, cables, rudders, sails, oars, ensigns, powder barrels, sextants, the compasses and the grappling irons.

“In fact the only important bit of kit that is missing is Harrison’s sea clock – also exhibited close-by here in Greenwich and also commissioned in the same era, that allowed every ship in the world to determine how far they were from this Meridian.

“So this is it. This is the newly forged United Kingdom on the slipway: this is the moment when it all took off…”  (Read in full here).

Therefore, we thank the Lord that once again a prophecy is validated not only by a news item but also through the location and content of our Prime Minister’s inspired speech. The prophetic vision’s final fulfillment lies in the implementation of the PM’s plans for our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Physics and Faith: a personal journey

Paul’s account reminds me of my days as a physics student after which I became anti-Christian but later after the Lord rescued me, like Paul, I later realised He really does have a sense of humour. I’d vowed never to touch Baptists with a barge-pole because they’re biblical bigots – but a years later I realised He’d put me in a Baptist church to get grounded in scripture!

TONIGHT – prophetic pastor who died speaks on BBC South Today

Some may recall Revd Christopher Wickland’s prophetic messages posted on this blog, but hundreds have been praying for his recovery after an unexpected heart attack some weeks ago. His totally unexpected recovery has featured in national, local and overseas press as well as on radio; and his TV interview features on tonight’s BBC South Today!

Click to read full article (not in new window)

Premier Christian News reports, ‘Rev Chris Wickland stopped breathing after he collapsed at a trampoline park he was attending in Southampton with his children. Staff members at the Flip Out centre performed CPR on the pastor and administered four electric shocks with a defibrillator after his heart stopped beating, at which point Wickland began breathing again and an ambulance arrived.

‘Wickland, who is the senior pastor of Living Word Pentecostal Church in Fareham told Premier that paramedics who arrived on the scene were amazed by his recovery: “In 24 years of work, they said they’ve never seen anyone come back after a fourth shock.”

‘He claims he was resurrected by the power of prayer. After his collapse his daughter contacted his wife Tracey who told the children “to pray for him immediately”.

“Then immediately my wife put it out onto the prayer network and our churches and it hit social media and just went out everywhere. So lots of other churches picked it up and started praying. For the next several days we had like literally hundreds of Christians all over the world and churches praying for us,” he added.

‘Wickland was rushed to hospital after the incident and put into an induced coma. He remained on life support for a number of days (being) unable to breathe independently. Doctors had warned Mrs Wickland his chances of survival were unlikely once he was taken off the ventilator and said if he was he’d likely suffer severe mental damage due to the lack of oxygen…’ (emphases added)

So we praise and thank you Lord of Lords and King of Kings for your answering prayers and blessing this dear family.

Frank Sui has fun with the Lord’s numbers too (two!)!!

Posted on by

You may recall Frank Sui’s meeting with Prime Minster Johnson in the lead-up to the General Election and the word he gave him from the Lord. I caught up yesterday with a couple of Veronika West’s prophecies and noted a personal aspect of number 22 that the Lord had pointed out to her and that the earlier one was timed at 12:12.

SO, I was amused upon reading what Frank had posted very early today on Facebook and grateful for his kind permission to republish (editorial formatting added):

‘In recent months I’ve been seeing a lot of double numbers on my phone, oven and even microwave while running – 12:12, 14:14, 15:15, 17:17, 21:21, 22:22 etc.

‘When I wrote the article about Boris Johnson I wrote it overnight, and the few times I looked at the time on the computer, they read ’01:01′, ’02:02′, ’03:03’, ’04:04’… I won’t count 05:05 because by 5am I was watching the clock by the seconds. 😂 I was like, “What is going on?” And the Lord said, “It all comes in twos!” In this new season, everything comes in twos.

‘Modern-day prophetic has a lot of jargon and you can pretty much predict without being prophetic. I hate that. So one of my goals in the beginning of this year was to make it through to March without mentioning “2020 Vision” – And guess what, I failed by the 3rd of January. The Lord said, “You really want to have a 2020 vision because I ‘am’ doing a new thing.”

He gave me a few Scriptures for this year, and notice they’re all in 2s.

‘2 Chronicles 20:20 – Trust in the Lord and you’ll be established, believe His prophets and you will prosper.

‘Habakkuk 2:2 – Write down the vision, make it plain so that he who reads may run with it.

‘Mark 2:22 – No-one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.

‘God is doing a new thing in 2020. We will be established if we trust Him, but we will prosper if we believe what He is saying through prophetic voices. (BTW, how many churches are still standing against Brexit for “social justice” reasons despite that every prophetic voice is shouting otherwise from the rooftops? Just sayin’!) If we want to prosper we need to get on-board with what He’s doing.

‘Then, in the light of knowing what He is doing, we need to have a vision for ourselves. And we need to write it down. What are we believing for? Make it plain, so that those around us can read and understand and stand with us in prayer.

‘Lastly, believing for new things is not enough. We need to position ourselves for them. We need new wineskin for new wine. What do we need to adjust in our lives to see these promises come to pass?

‘As for me, I have decided to take 40 days to focus on seeking God for this year. Without planning, I started at sundown on 2 January (there’s the number 2 again), and ending on the 11 [two ones, RB] February at sundown – which is effectively the 12th February. Paul Cain died a year ago on 12 Feb, and it was 7 Adar on Hebrew calendar, the day Moses died according to Jewish traditions. I’m just sayin’!

‘Paul Cain was a Moses figure for the end-time Stadium Revival vision, and there’s been a lot of talks about the Joshua Generation. When Moses dies, you know it’s time for a Joshua Generation to rise and take the Promised Land. (If you’re alive you’re part of this generation.) I’m just sayin’!

‘All the numbers, times and dates are falling into places in such perfect ways without planning. It’s up to you to decide whether God is speaking or not. I’m just sayin’!’

My reaction was to inform Frank of the prophetic word Leisa Ebere brought on October 2017, and which I’ve oft quoted: “2018, I will impart to My Prophets the ability to see clearly ‘My Numbers’, such as dates, times and even denominations of money as I loose significant detail…”

In spending the full day on blogging and FB messages plus trying to sort out pc security issue, I’m getting trying to get through my 100+ emails of the past 10 days only to now come across this one from Lana Vawser issued on 24th December…and to what did I refer in my first blog of this New Year 2020?  ‘My contemplation of Genesis 1:0 – that’s right, you read right – before ‘The Beginning’,’  which has been my nightly practice for  going to sleep!!

Bye ’til next week and be mightily blessed…

I HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD AND HE SHOWED ME LARGE BOOKS CALLED ‘BOOKS OF BEGINNINGS’

‘At the start of last week I had an encounter with the Lord and He showed me large books and on the front of the book it said “BOOKS OF BEGINNINGS”. The Lord showed me that in this new era there are going to be many BEGINNINGS.

BEGINNINGS: the point in time or space at which something begins.
SYNONYMNS: dawn, birth, inception, conception, origination, genesis, emergence, rise, start, starting point, launch, onset, outset, unfolding, development, developing, debut, kick-off, commencement, opening
(Definition taken from Google)

The Lord spoke to me that in 2020 there are going to be multiple BEGINNINGS and BIRTHINGS. We have entered into a new era, a new beginning and in 2020 there is going to be a dawning, a rising, a launching, an unfolding, an opening that is going to take place like never before.

There is going to be clarity and development of vision like never before. There is going to be the manifestation of things God has said in the dark, come into the light in their manifestation.

There will be significant birthing of promises in 2020 and monumental upgrades, and there will also be conception of new vision from the Lord. New assignments and commissions….continue reading Lana’s full post by clicking here.

Bible’s Genesis 12:3 brings stunning election results!

Posted on by
8

When I began ‘watching’ world events 30 years ago in the light of Bible prophecy, and because God’s Kingdom is paramount  I kept a detached distance from all political matters, leaving it to politicians and public.

Nevertheless, after becoming aware 14 years ago of the vision Wendy Alec was given and what it foretold about Britain and the EU, I began taking careful note. 7 years ago an avalanche of prophecies about that topic began and then gathered momentum. Thus, I was left with no option but to begin blogging 4 years ago in depth leading into the 2016 EU Referendum – and ever since!

Then when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister last July I blogged that, in view of his rabbi forefather and fond appreciation of Israel and the Jewish people, this would bring the UK into a Biblical blessing according to Genesis 12:1-3 (emphases mine) viz:

Now [in Haran] the LORD said to Abram, “Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

“And I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

“And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language towards you; in you ALL the families and kindred of the earth will be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].” (Genesis 12:1-3 Amplified Bible – link to blogs on these vital verses)

On the day of the election, polls and pundits were forecasting a ‘hung’ parliament as the Tory lead over Labour had almost  vanished.  SO, this would put prophecies to the test!!

Later, upon hearing the 10 pm exit-poll radically reverses those figures to predict a huge majority of 86 for the Conservative party, I thought of Genesis 12.

Therefore, I sense the Lord’s hand behind the general election applying His promise to Britain by blessing Boris Johnson’s campaign with a massive, landslide electoral victory – as well as ‘cursing’ his opponents by capsizing the main opposition party because of its leaders’ entrenched anti-Semitism, as well as knocking the Liberal Democrats’ leader off her perch; mirroring how they removed their past leader Tim Farron, and recently deselected Rob Fello, for their Christian views!

And, of course a number of prophecies are now fulfilled – so the astonishing election result did NOT take the prophets by surprise!! (More on that next week – see General Election Validates Prophecies part 1 and part 2.)

More than a ‘coincidence’? More fun with numbers > Daniel 2:21!

In my recent journal of a week in blogging and numbers that cropped up on changing my car, its mileage and then getting confirmed by a prophetic word, thus indicating the Lord had joined in my fun, I referred to personal numbers of ’22 and ‘212’.

Now take a look at what I saw when nudged to check the statistics of posts when I was logging off at 5pm today:

It’s an intriguing repetition of numbers from Rick Davis’ prayer declaration based upon the Book of Daniel.  It’s the second time this numerical mirroring with my own personal numbers has happened, so this time I thought to take a screen-shot for the record.

 

Milestones and crossroads in two disciples’ walks with the Lord

Posted on by
4

The following is offered on the grounds prominently stated on the first printing of my testimony, upon this blog’s homepage and in About Comments – ie. it is all purely

‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE’

IN chatting with Geoff Pick, creator of UK Prophetic Word blogspot, about a conference paper being prepared on the prophetic in the UK, we were intrigued to learn a couple of dates marked rather similar events in our long-standing activity in prophecy.

Our personal paths had ‘crossed’ twice and, although marked by spiritual signposts that point out our different, distinct routes, those ‘locations’ were ‘milestones’ marking each crossroad’s significance – perhaps like the altars to the Lord the ancient patriarchs and Hebrews had set up to mark where and when the Almighty had appeared and broken into their lives.

It’s especially amusing that our milestones actually have numbers on them – as dates.  So these milestones indicate ‘space-time’ distance travelled in walking with our Lord..:

2004

Geoff noted that, after the Millennium, most prophetic input was coming from America, or other English-speaking nations, with little from believers across Britain. So in 2004 he started assembling national prophecy and, encouraged by others, launched a website bringing together those prophecies, as well as Facebook group Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival. His UK Prophetic Words public blog on the same theme followed in 2011.

2004 was when I was ‘God-smacked’ with an open vision of the rotten state of Britain, but was unable to discuss it in-depth with anyone in churches until we went the next year to a prophecy school run by a church prophecy team at Bath at three levels to allow for delegates’ abilities. Nina and I daringly plumped for Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s ‘masterclass’ and I sounded her out on that dream. Right away she accepted its validity – then called her students to intercession on it!  Sharon and husband Greg had come to Britain in 2001 to start Christian International Europe under Dr Bill Hamon (based in Florida). 

2011

Seven years later, in 2011, Geoff and I were involved with the Revival Alliance gathering in Westminster, but from completely different angles because mine was a ‘flying visit’ in a dream wherein I ‘saw’ and declared, “The Kingdom is being set up!” Afterwards, when briefed about the event and Bill Johnson musing that “We would look back at 1st Sept 2011 as the day things changed in the UK,” I emailed organiser Christen Forster about the dream.

That prophetic linkage impelled me to go public with my email observations on Bible prophecy and world events by launching this blog on 21st November 2011. 

Only months later in 2012 did I discover Geoff’s website and the 10 Prophetic Visions therein.

Moreover, only in recent weeks have we noticed yet another Biblically-relevant activity in common: an appreciation and understanding of the relevance of numbers!

Contemporary prophecy and ministry is our common interest, but not my prime focus. In view of what had happened in my pre-Christian days, Bible prophecy certainly takes precedence, as well as being the raison-d’etre of my writing.

Geoff became aware of my work on this blog, yet in recent discussion I realised he’s not familiar with the whole cyber-library of hubs and static pages. This would also apply to anyone using a mobile phone unless they choose to see the ‘full site’.  To check that very large library’s content click its aforementioned link.

Therefore, I composed and sent him the following synopsis of my personal history and thought it would interest you too…(Moreover, as the anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 has just passed, I recall its relevance to my journey. Later in the Readers’ Digest I read a lady’s account of dreaming about an attempt upon his life and trying to warn the authorities.)

MILESTONES WITH THE LORD

In summary, here are the personal milestones with associate links to read about them if you have time and inclination to do so:

Mid-1980s – ‘The Invisible Hand’ by Victor Dunstan about ‘ancient seers’ prophecies, as in this blog’s Bio Info, which also gives brief overview of few notable ‘milestones’.

1989 – dream visitation from the Lord as told in I’m FREE [5th bullet-point refers; article summarises my background – 1990, started attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist) with its very sound Bible teaching. 1998 healing and deliverance with Ellel Ministries.]

1992 – dream vision and word re “fall of Islam” – stunning reality of prophetic visions.

1996, 2008, 2009 – THREE personal prophetic words about writing and prophecy

2004 – open vision of Britain being ripped apart as ‘fabric of society is rotten’ but rock of Christ appears, as later published in email of 18 August 2011.

2008-9 – As my Bible explodes I hear “This is ALL about to be fulfilled” and thus began  emailing on End-times. [First is in two-parts entitled The End-game Is Now In Play.]

2011 – a vivid dream connects not only with Bill Johnson’s prophetic word on pivotal point in UK’s prophetic history but also location of his meeting (see ‘Father Let Your Kingdom Come’).

2011 – launched ‘Richard’s Watch: Looking For The Signs  Of Jesus’ Return’ with this Welcome. Posts on False Theology, Eschatology, Prophecy, Why I’m Watching were to follow with my testimony, and this on Biblical/historical/financial Cycles for 2011-12.

Paws 4 Thought: ‘God-incident’ of 3 personal emails on Israel

Posted on by
Reply

On Monday I had three emails referring to Israel from readers, one of whom is a personal friend. It was mid-morning when I got online and, unusually, did things back-to-front. I didn’t boot up my browser but instead hit email button first. Normally it’s the other way around and start-up browser tabs slow down their full online display, which hinders email program from connecting and downloading mail.

The ‘God-incidental’ and noteworthy relevance of this will, I trust, will become plain.

Although appreciative of this modern state’s role in the Almighty’s plans and purposes, only very rarely do I communicate outside this blog about Israel, but I keep abreast of top-level news about the nation via the internet.

Therefore, I offer a brief resume of those emails for readers’ discernment, especially in the light of the vision Veronika West reported on the Israel’s, Britain’s and the USA’s inter-linked destinies wherein she states,

“…Suddenly, I found myself aware once again of my natural surroundings and I began to pray as the Spirit led me to pray for the three Nations I was shown. The Spirit of Revelation quieted my Spirit as I began to meditate on everything I was shown. I believe and submit that the three Nations I was shown have a UNIQUE AND DIVINE CONNECTION IN THIS HOUR AND THAT THE DESTINIES OF THESE THREE NATIONS ARE INTRINSICALLY INTERWOVEN WITH ONE ANOTHER…”

INTERCESSION

‘Susan’ forwarded news from a 3-day prayer-and-fast convened by Dovetail Shalom Ministries in the last week of November and, in view of my earlier reference to Genesis 12, this extract is noteworthy on the state of our nation (emphases mine):

‘…We had imagined that the Brexit would have been completed by October 31st, but the Lord knew that another prayer push would be needed, and He showed us a big block to Brexit being accomplished. We prepared everyone for deep repentance on day 2 at 2pm, concerning our shameful treatment of Israel in the Yom Kippur war. We all understood how we had completely treated Israel’s sovereignty as of no account, and the Gen 12 curse took effect in Britain, and we soon lost our own (sovereignty) through the EU.

‘As Brexit is a matter of the restoration of British sovereignty, it was clear this issue had to be dealt with before God. He showed us that actually it is His land, and the only place on earth He has chosen to dwell, which we also failed to honour, and that Matthew 25 was relevant here: whatever we do (or don’t do) to His brethren, it is as though it was done (or not done) to God Himself. Extremely serious! It was easy to humble ourselves as we all felt the weight of it. Many around the nation joined us at the time, and we knew that the Lord had heard us, and received our confession. ‘S’ from Tel Aviv was among our guests, and she released forgiveness on behalf of the Jewish people. There were around 150 intercessors present, but hundreds more around the world..’

INTERCEPTION

Upon being strongly nudged to get my email up and running first on my desktop, I noted at the top one sent just minutes earlier from ‘Julie’ headed, ‘Is this something for our nation of significance?’  It refers to the sonic boom heard the previous day (Sunday).

Being drowsily awake at the time I thought the two sharp bangs came from our nearby army training ground where a night-time exercise may be under way. However, I later read a very brief report on the event and wondered if the RAF jets had intercepted a Russian military plane, as on previous occasions, as the pilot was incommunicado.

Therefore, I took keen notice of Julie’s remarks:

“I have some thoughts that I’ve mulled on this morning and want to pass them along for you, and those who move in the ministry to consider, and share if they have relevance. I will just lay out what I have so far.

“Sunday morning people awoke to sonic boom over eastern uk. It was in the news. I felt compelled to look at what newspaper reported – and dissect.

So, plane leaves Tel Aviv; captain is Steven Giorgiono. Tel Aviv = spring mound source. Steven = a crowned garland and Giorgio = river Jordan flowing down.

[RB: Wikipedia – Tel Aviv was built on sand dunes north of Jaffa and was envisaged to become a city. ‘The name chosen in 1910 from several suggestions…It was found fitting as it embraced the idea of a renaissance in the ancient Jewish homeland. Aviv is Hebrew for “spring”, symbolizing renewal, and tel is a man-made mound accumulating layers of civilization built one over the other and symbolizing the ancient..’]

“This plane flies across Europe and at 4:20 am uk, two planes from Lincolnshire (and near Boston) scramble to intercept it and sonic boom is radiated across eastern uk.

“So thoughts here are. Number 2 significant on relationships two planes, time 4:20 = 4 = wisdom; 2 = relationship;  0 = spiritual

“The commanders name at RAF base is Mark Flewin: Mark = a hammer coming down and Flewin = Glory flow.

“Looking at Boston; it was at one stage really important trading point as was Jaffa in Israel and apparently New Hampshire, USA (sic – Boston is Massachusetts) was too.

“I’m not sure how to take this really I do think it’s important. I’ve asked Holy Spirit to lead me but this is so far all really got. It could be it’s about brexit, but I think it’s far deeper, about this being a significant time for our nation spiritually, and how we treat Israel.
Obviously my other thoughts were it was first day of advent when we remember Christ’s first coming and more significantly his imminent return.”

RB Note: According to Monday’s Daily Telegraph the pilot told the BBC that problems developed “whilst flying across Germany en-route to the USA…It took us 10 minutes to realise the radio wasn’t working and then about 10 minutes to resolve the problem.” He said the RAF Typhoons stayed with the airliner for 5 minutes before leaving.

REFUTING RABBINIC OBJECTIONS…

The third email is from ‘Ann’ headed ‘Eitan Bar: One for Israel’ and asking,

“I was just wondering if you are familiar with this man who is a young Jewish Christian and an academic. He has recently written an interesting book,  ’Refuting Rabbinic objections to Christianity & Messianic Prophecies’…I found it really, really interesting!   

Digging around I find Eitan is ONE FOR ISRAEL’S director of media and evangelism – and was born in Tel Aviv!  The 3rd time the city is mentioned, connecting these emails!

Fun with ‘God’s numbers’ – and He joins in the play!

Posted on by
11

What you’re about to read is a true story of events three weeks ago this weekend.

‘Tongue-in-cheek’ I had mischievous fun with a couple of well-known, ‘holy numbers’ –  only to find the Lord joined in and, not so much the joke being on me, humorously He gave a fresh insight into and confirmation of two personally significant numbers – as well as what’s been happening in my life!

What’s more, all this got verified during ‘prophecy play’ on Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring day!!  Furthermore, it was all very straightforward and not complicated or controversial – but do note the dates.:

What Had I Done?

The fun and games had begun without my realisation on Monday 4th November for I’d planned reporting upon the excellent insights of some readers upon numbers in the previous week’s Triple-twelve Significance of December’s General Election. To help readers get as full an appreciation as possible a structured briefing would be helpful…

So I began the week’s blogging by republishing the prophetic word Leisa Ebere had brought for 2018 – “I will impart to My Prophets the ability to see clearly ‘My Numbers’, such as dates, times and even denominations of money…”

Tuesday 5th saw second part of Fulfilled Prophecy #38.1: ‘Seeing’ God’s Numbers and followed by developments in investigating numbers based upon their appearance in the  Bible and a possible connection with dates and timing for ‘escapes’.

On Wednesday 6th I republished the two-part ‘who, why, when and what of watching’ for the Lord’s return. These aspects of numbers and watching led into an overview of a new book by Jonathan Hill, Unlocking the Biblical Watch.

Thursday 7th saw things begin to get significant! Being a full blogging day, I’d got a number of items to post – but it began to unravel. First posted is my chat with Jonathan on watching numerically for Jesus’ return, but I then saw a fresh fulfillment of prophecy (#46) in what Emma Stark had prophesied on 22nd Jan about a praise song being ‘top of the pops’ No.1 hit. So next, not only did I blog on that and then the song of Kayne West but I also remarked upon yet another reappearance of my personal number 22.

However, all that interrupted the flow of the week’s theme because I’d intended blogging upon Jonathan’s numerically revisiting the date of Brexit as end-January 2020. But with Emma’s news I recalled her and Veronika West on the timing of Brexit.  So instead, I asked What do prophecy and numeracy indicate about Brexit’s timing? and reported upon what those well-known prophets say compared with his controversial calculation about that timing. Thus, another different blog to what I’d planned was to be posted.

Nevertheless, during that busy day I’d been able to draft the news I’d been mulling over during the previous weekend and entitled ‘Triple Twelves’ General Election Is Really ‘Quadruple Twelves’!

So What Did I Do?

Those two posts needed publishing but dinner-time was rapidly approaching with its start of our long weekend. Yet they were almost set to go and so I could schedule for automatic publication whilst offline unwinding for the weekend.

Laughing out loud to myself, I decided to have a little fun with numbers by setting their publication for 7:07pm that evening (7th) and next morning 8:08am on 8th November!

What Happened Next?

Friday 8th was when I was to collect a car friends had offered me three weeks earlier. The acquisition is an intriguing story of the Lord’s provision in itself, but even more so is the fact that on that very day (on which I collected it), its odometer’s display of 52,122 miles was personally significant!

Yet once again, we have ‘22‘ (my birth-date) and the central numbers ‘212‘ are doubly special. The triple digit is not only the house number of my childhood home and where the Lord took me back to during the night I almost died during His Visitation 30 years ago, but it’s also the mileage noted in early 2012 (or 2012) from our house to the door at a conference hall in Torquay, as a validation of that awesome event – one of which also reiterates 22! It’s a definite validation because of this associated event – and is again getting reiterated, as you are soon to discover!

It is there that I told Revd Dr Sharon Stone about the connection I’d sensed between heaven and earth at Windsor – I didn’t know she and husband Greg were planning on moving there!

And What Did God Do?

Arising early Saturday 9th November (2019) to go to Windsor for Dr Sharon’s mentoring day I found a very heavy frost. In having prepared my manual-drive car for sale/disposal I wanted to use it, rather than the new automatic, in order to use up fuel in its tank – but upon opening its windows the one in the passenger door stopped halfway and refused to return. It wasn’t just frozen but broken! So I couldn’t drive 33 miles to Windsor with it open but good to have a replacement – an upgrade even! (Also, our domestic electrical power is being upgraded with a new consumer unit.)

I had to get there for, and little did I know, all the above numbers would get confirmed!!

And during her afternoon session Sharon said the prophets are getting an upgrade!

Moreover, during the prophetic activation exercise a sister sitting next to me gave me a detailed word about those numbers 7, 8 and 9 and what the Lord’s doing in my life.

I told her about the above numerical significance of my new car’s mileage and was most surprised to hear that 22 is her birth-date too AND that she’d recently needed to use the A212 route for travelling to a church in Croydon!!!

DOH…it was the next day when I put two and two together. It dawned upon me that the Lord was having fun with me by using the numbers of the dates I’d been playing with – as well as the personal ones!

In joining in with my play He was confirming the validity of what I’d been blogging, as well as the timing of upgrading my car and in its ‘handover’ mileage!!

That is, it’s all ok by Him!

AND THERE WAS EVEN MORE FUN TO COME >>> click to read about it!

Good reasons for attending One Voice conference, Feb 2020

As mentioned on the blog’s 8th anniversary last Thursday I attended a working group for convening ‘One Voice – The Prophetic Voice’ conference next February, as blogged here. It was good to meet up in person and better than trying to discuss over internet video with its attendant complications – so encouraging to meet up with like-minded guys and gals, one of whom wasn’t present when Yinka took this photo.

Listen to David Stark, co-director of Glasgow Prophetic Centre, talking briefly about the event and his good reasons for attending (note need to unmute the sound icon):

Blog’s 8th Anniversary – thank you to all my readers

I wish to “Thank YOU” personally for taking your valuable time visiting my blog, no matter whether you’re dipping in for a quick read – perhaps for the first time – or subscribe to notifications of new postings – even contributing your opinion on some of them – I greatly appreciate your involvement either via this site or via its Facebook page.

To all those who’ve been with me over the years I say “Thank you very much indeed for joining me on this journey.”

By some ‘God-incidence’ it is fitting that today I have the honour of presenting a draft briefing paper on the status of the prophetic in Britain to a team convened by President-elect of the Baptist Union, Revd Yinka Oyekan, to prepare for February’s One Voice conference in Reading, Berkshire.

In fact, it is a double-God-incidence because we’ll be meeting in the house of the home-group leader overseeing the Pangbourne group of Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), in which I spent 12 years as a newly baptised believer before moving away when marrying my dear Nina in 2002. It was there I began to learn about and carefully move forward in the prophetic. Therefore, it is a spiritual home-coming!

This blog was launched on 21st November 2011 with a ‘Welcome’ to whomsoever was out there. It was followed by a warning on false theology followed by brief introductions to eschatology and then my personal testimony of being rescued by the Lord from the enemy’s camp. The year closed with a briefing on Biblical/historical/financial cycles in modern End-time events.

The blog’s launch came after months of being nudged to discontinue private emails and go public about the relevance of current events to End-times. Some may recall the 10th anniversary last February of my starting to write as a result of what I audibly heard from the Lord when my Bible exploded upon checking a parable, as told herein (“This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”)

A double event in early September 2011 strongly motivated my moving out of email and into a public blog. It involved a dream of the Kingdom being set up, and which featured a connected location and timing of where and when Bill Johnson was giving a prophetic word about that date becoming recognised as important in the history of the Kingdom in the UK. And so I fondly look back and forwards in proclaiming,

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS BLOG
