A couple of postings by Veronika West appeared yesterday on Ignite Ireland Ministry (Facebook). First at 09:04…:

A SIGN OF FLOODING; PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED..!

UK: A Prophecy Being Fulfilled
March 18, 2019 Veronika West

A sign; His cleansing and purification!

The waters levels are rising, the rivers of His Glory will flow forth upon the land…!

Then suddenly I saw the nation covered in a thick white blanket and I heard The Spirit say, “Watch, for in the days ahead there will be a sign that cleansing and purification has come to the land.”

Then I saw flood waters begin to rise in different parts of the nation and I heard The Spirit say, “For even as Ezekiel saw the water levels rise higher and higher in the temple, so shall the water levels rise higher and higher in this nation and this shall be a sign that the rivers of My Glory will flow forth upon the land!”

See original HKP Word The Remaking of the United Kingdom , 27 January 2019;

Blessings to you all.

PS; “AFTER THE RAIN WE GET TO SEE CLEARLY”!!

As I have prayed over this recent flooding in the U.K., this morning the Father said to me, “AFTER THIS RAIN THE NATION WILL SEE CLEARLY, THE DUST WILL SETTLE AND THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE WILL SEE WITH GREATER CLARITY”, I believe there are times that God sends His rain in the midst of great chaos to settle the dust of confusion and disillusionment, its after His rain that greater clarity of mind and vision is birthed, our spiritual sight becomes clear, precise and accurate.

I hear the Spirit say, “BELOVED INVITE MY RAIN IN THIS MIDST OF THE DUST STORM FOR MY RAIN BRINGS CLARITY AND VISION TO THOSE WHO HAVE BECOME HOPELESS, VISION-LESS AND DISILLUSIONED”!

Secondly, yesterday afternoon:

“FLOODING ACROSS THE UK….As I was praying concerning the flooding across the U.K. the Spirit of God reminded me of another poignant prophecy that I posted in March of this year concerning the significance of the Months APRIL, MAY, JUNE AND JULY…! I believe the WATERS WE ARE SEEING BREAKING FORTH ACROSS THIS NATION IN THE MONTH OF JUNE IS PROPHETICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND CERTAINLY A SIGN OF WHAT IT TAKING PLACE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT OVER THE LAND…,”YES! I BELIEVE THAT A CLEANSING AND A PURIFICATION IS NOW TAKING PLACE OVER THE LAND, BUT! IS IT ALSO A SIGN OF THE BEGINNINGS OF THE BIRTHING OF A NEW AND GREATER NATION?”..!

And Quote; “I KEEP HEARING THESE WORDS, “WATCH AND PRAY, FOR WE HAVE NOW ENTERED INTO THE LAST TRIMESTER OF A LONG PREGNANCY, GET READY, FOR THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK FORTH”!!

Part of the Word posted; March 2019 BREXIT: Delay and Extension – Fear Not! 

I submit to you FAITHFUL PROPHETS AND WATCHERS OVER THIS NATION that as we have now seen a vote passed to DELAY BREXIT WE MUST NOT BE TEMPTED TO LOOSE HOPE BUT WE MUST RESIST ALL FEAR AND KEEP OUR EYES ON THAT WHICH IS TO COME FORTH FROM THE TOMB.

I submit to you that the next “4 MONTHS” are going to be CRITICAL MONTHS for the Nation, I believe they will be BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND POLITICALLY STRATEGIC MONTHS FOR THE BIRTHING OF OUR NATION, “APRIL, MAY, JUNE AND JULY.., AND ESPECIALLY THE MONTH OF JULY HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED TO ME AS A VERY SIGNIFICANT MONTH FOR THE NATION.

I KEEP HEARING THESE WORDS, “WATCH AND PRAY, FOR WE HAVE NOW ENTERED INTO THE LAST TRIMESTER OF A LONG PREGNANCY, GET READY, FOR THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK FORTH”!!

As Lisa Tierney notes, “Re Flooding in the UK, get ready the BABY is on its WAY!!!!!!!!”

Prophecy Update 2.2: Boris Johnson warns against blocking ‘no deal’ Brexit

Posted on by

In Prophecy Update 2: Press reports ‘no deal’ Brexit is ‘back from the dead’ posted on 29th March 2019, I quoted Veronika West’s prophecies of 8th January, and as reiterated on 15th March, about our nation’s death being reversed. She introduces it with this bold statement…and later makes an exceptional dating of the prophecy’s fulfillment, as in my emboldened paragraph :

‘AN URGENT ‘NOW’ WORD CONCERNING GREAT BRITAIN; “FEAR NOT! LOOK TO LAZARUS TOMB FOR A TIME OF DIVINE VISITATION IS UPON YOU; A DEATH AND A RAPID ACCELERATION IN KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT IN THE MIDST OF DELAY, WATCH! FOR RESURRECTION POWER SHALL RAISE UP A NATION TO NEW AND GREATER LIFE IN ONE DAY”…!

‘…I submit to you FAITHFUL PROPHETS AND WATCHERS OVER THIS NATION that as we have now seen a vote passed to DELAY BREXIT, WE MUST NOT BE TEMPTED TO LOOSE HOPE BUT WE MUST RESIST ALL FEAR AND KEEP OUR EYES ON THAT WHICH IS TO COME FORTH FROM THE TOMB.

‘I submit to you that the next “4 MONTHS” are going to be CRITICAL MONTHS for the Nation, I believe they will be BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND POLITICALLY STRATEGIC MONTHS FOR THE BIRTHING OF OUR NATION, “APRIL, MAY, JUNE AND JULY..”, AND ESPECIALLY THE MONTH OF JULY HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED TO ME AS A VERY SIGNIFICANT MONTH FOR THE NATION.

‘I KEEP HEARING THESE WORDS, “WATCH AND PRAY, FOR WE HAVE NOW ENTERED INTO THE LAST TRIMESTER OF A LONG PREGNANCY, GET READY, FOR THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK FORTH”!!’

(RB: is that the real reason behind this June’s record-breaking wet weather??)

Now, I note these extracts within this afternoon’s news feed in The Telegraph about the latest political developments, especially the stark warning of retribution by voters:

  • 8:52am – Labour’s plan to block no-deal – ‘Today, Labour will use allocated opposition time to put forward a motion seeking to suspend the Commons’ standing orders, the rules which govern MPs in the Chamber…
  • ‘Here we go again. Labour have tabled a new motion for tomorrow’s Opposition Day debate, paving the way for MPs to introduce and pass legislation in June – as they did in April – to constrain a new Prime Minister’s ability to pursue no deal on 31 October…’
  • 11:01AM – PHILIP HAMMOND: NO DEAL IS NOT AN OPTION – ‘Just moments before Boris Johnson is due to launch his leadership campaign, the Chancellor has weighed in on no deal, claiming that Parliament will move to prevent it from happening…’

  • 11:54AM – MPs face ‘mortal retribution’ if they block no deal

    ‘Taking questions from journalists, Mr Johnson said that it would be “very difficult” for MPs to “obstruct the will of the people and block Brexit”.

    ‘He adds that should they do so, they face “mortal retribution” at the ballot box as voters punish them for failing to deliver.

    “[There is a] real existential threat that faces both major parties if we fail to get this thing down,” he continues.

    “Parliament voted overwhelming to trigger Article 50. I think if we do block it collectively as Parliamentarians we will reap the whirlwind.” (Emphasis RB)

Now the EU’s reaction, noted at 12:40pm – ‘The European Commission issued a stern no deal Brexit warning as Boris Johnson took to the stage for his leadership launch to succeed Theresa May as prime minister. 

‘As Mr Johnson spoke, the EU executive warned that even if there was a no deal Brexit, Britain would still have to pay the Brexit bill, guarantee no hard border in Ireland through the Irish backstop and safeguard EU citizens’ rights living in Britain. 

‘The EU would not restart any negotiations after no deal until those condition were met, according to the document, which said the bloc would also demand continued access to British fishing waters. 

‘The no deal communication warned businesses to get ready for a possible no deal exit after the October 31 Brexit deadline. 

‘Mr Johnson has said that he would prefer a Brexit deal but insists that the withdrawal agreement must be renegotiated, which the EU has ruled out. He said that Britain should leave the EU, deal or no deal, by November 1.’

Lest we may forget, on 3rd October 2017 Boris Johnson warned the Conservative Party that the British Lion must be allowed to roar, as covered in Fulfilled Prophecy #23.

Bringing the Word of the Lord, through the voice of the Ekklesia to the nation!

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.

I’m privileged to bring news of this event convened by the Vice-President of the Baptist Union, Revd Yinka Oyekan pastor of The Gate, Reading, because I was most surprised to be invited to join discussions in its preparation.

Formerly Reading Community Church, The Gate was formed in July 2005 when two existing churches, Tilehurst Free Church and Groveland’s Christian Fellowship, joined together under Yinka’s leadership. Before I married Nina and moved to her town, I’d regularly attended TFC (Baptist) because it was where the Lord put me after my night-time encounter in 1989, as told here.

Whilst talking to the folks in Reading a memory of an interior vision suddenly ‘flashed’ – the operative word! – into mind. So I’ve dug into my files to give you a hint of the likely significance of Yinka’s above announcement. As with all prophetic visions it should be weighed with the Lord.

EXPLODING ‘GLORY-BOMB’

If you’re of the age when video footage of exploding nuclear bombs was often televised (during the Cold War), then you’ll recognise the description in this extract from my letter of May 1998 to TFC’s pastor Barry Kirk about Reading’s inter-church meetings and the fire of the Lord.:

‘At a very early Pangbourne prayer morning on 27 June 1992 [27 = 3 x 3 x 3 years ago!] I saw “a waterfall of golden rain which became like a nuclear bomb but in reverse”. When I later explained this to David D [associate pastor] he expressed interest in view of the vision of liquid fire he’d previously seen over Tilehurst.

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

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

Subsequent considerations connected that vision to many meetings being held along the Thames Valley and prayers for God’s glory to flow through them into London.

PS: Within a fortnight of writing above, I’m most delighted to receive a confirmation of that open vision from a prophetically gifted Baptist pastor whom I know, as recounted in ‘Jigsaw Pieces’ Portray 27th June’s Significance in Prophecy.

Lana Vasa: a word from the Lord for prophets in their private battles

I trust many readers will be as encouraged to read this mighty prophetic word as am I (click title to access original on Lana’s website):

A WORD FOR PROPHETS THAT HAVE BEEN IN A FEROCIOUS, PRIVATE BATTLE!!
by Lana Vawser Ministries

The Lord spoke to me that many prophets have been in a private battle especially recently. Many prophets have been “fighting for their lives” and for their “mantle” behind closed doors of late. These private battles have left many feeling beaten down and broken. The Lord spoke to me that this word is not a corporate word for every prophet in the body of Christ, this is a word for those prophets who have been in a ferocious battle lately.

The Lord showed me that there has been a spirit of python that has been coming against many prophets to suck the life out of you, to suffocate you, to break you, to silence you and to completely take you out and hinder you from moving into what the Lord has destined for you that is just up ahead.

The Lord showed me that there have been this intense battles and opposition of the enemy against many of you to take you out, but also the hand of the Lord is moulding you and shaping you, preparing you for what you are about to release. See the Lord has been depositing things within you in the most broken place that you do not even realise He has been doing and He is about to decree a divine RESET. Continue reading →

Monday newsmix – NI-Eire Prophecy Update #13

Posted on by

NORTHERN IRELAND

Roger Jervois writes Thursday, “Things are moving nicely, but more prayer is needed importantly. See the statement from Sinn Fein’s President [Time for a real negotiation to start in Stormont talks]:

“We are working hard to achieve the objective we all want to see – the restoration of the devolved institutions at Stormont. We had leadership-level round tables twice this week, with the working groups continuing to work through the challenging issues every day.

“Nobody is under any illusion that the route ahead will be easy. There are significant challenges ahead but we continue to make progress.

“Next week we will accelerate the process further, with more frequent meetings at leadership level to discuss the outcomes from the working groups. All our efforts are focused on reaching agreement in the weeks ahead.”

However, today’s news quotes Eire’s Foreign Minister as saying that the same issues are preventing a Stormont return for Sinn Fein, namely a disagreement over an Irish Language Act and the parties also remain at loggerheads on same-sex marriage.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Jonathan Ely at Why Leave the EU? displays a photo of Ireland’s Prime Minister Leo Varadkah deeply engaged in thought, and shown over Daily Express headline: Ireland PANIC: Dublin admits being ‘second biggest losers’ of Brexit – ‘Profound change’.

This is based upon The Irish Times report Ireland will be “second biggest losers” if UK leaves EU, according to Irish Minister of Finance Paschal Donohoe. He was speaking  on Thursday at the Congress of the European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) conference in the RDS in Dublin.

‘Mr Donohoe said Ireland will be the “second biggest losers” if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal on October 31st [and] the UK would be “the biggest losers” but Ireland would also be impacted “given the level of inter-connectivity that exists between the two islands”.

“The projections of my own Department of Finance indicate that the real output of the Irish economy would be of a magnitude of five percentage points lower than it otherwise would be,” he said.

“This would affect domestic demands, it would affect our public finances and most importantly it would affect employment levels within our economy.”

Background:

These updates relate to the extensive prophetic word received by Emma Stark of the Glasgow Prophetic Centre whilst in Belfast at the end of February. She asked the Lord about Brexit, the Backstop and the Irish border and on where the solution lies. She was stunned to hear Him respond, “Emma, the solution is in Dublin.” Then He explained there’s “a tangled ball of wool sitting in Dublin’s Parliament building and the end of that ball of wool is in the hands of Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach, or PM of Ireland.”  This very significant word explains the necessity for leaders of north and south to work together in a new way to iron out issues that prevent Britain leaving the EU.

Veronika West confirms spiritual tug-of-war

Posted on by

When I received and scan-read Paul Clift’s dream, (see previous post) I thought it rang a bell. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this message from Veronika West appended to my entry in Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival on Facebook, and which I hadn’t re-blogged:

Veronika West Thank you Richard great confirmation of a word I posted a few months back. A TUG OF WAR IS DEFINITELY RAGING; WE DECLARE CUT…!
“IN THIS HOUR I SEE A FIERCE BATTLE, A TUG OF WAR THAT RAGES OVER THE DESTINY AND BIRTHRIGHT OF BRITAIN, BUT FEAR NOT FOR YOUR WORDS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD AND HE HAS COME”!

This morning in my time of soaking in His presence, suddenly I was shown a fierce battle that is raging over the Birthright of Britain in this very hour. I saw in the Spirit Mighty Warring Warrior Angels in what looked like a fierce battle and tug of war over the future Destiny and Sovereignty of the United Kingdom.
As I watched intently, Immediately the Holy Spirit quickened these words to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words and prayers have been heard, and I have COME because of your words and prayers.”
Now After hearing the Spirit speak, suddenly I could clearly hear the sound and the intensity of the words and prayers of the Sons and Daughters of God that have been crying out for the plans and the purposes of God to be made manifest in this hour and season over the Nation of Britain and the United Kingdom.
As I pressed in deeper into what I was hearing and seeing in the realms of the Spirit, suddenly I was shown the ‘Guardian Angel of the United Kingdom’ standing over the land. This Mighty Guardian Angel stood hundreds of feet tall and with eyes of blazing fire he stood with a raised sword and shield which completely overshadowed the whole Nation of Britain. Immediately the Holy Spirit likened this incredible Angel to me as the Archangel Michael who was the Guardian Angel and fierce Protector over the Nation of Israel, who had warred against and defeated the powerful territorial spirits that ruled over the Nations of Greece and Persia.
(“Then the messenger from God said, ‘Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I am through with him, lo, the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince”!)
Friends, Here we see the mighty Angel of the Lord going back to fight against the demon prince of Persia to DEFEAT HIM. As we read on we see yet again another enemy spirit, the powerful demon prince of Greece, these were the territorial spirits that had rule and dominion over the Nations of Persia and Greece! These were the demonic spirits that held sway over these Nations and they needed to be dealt with by the Warrior Angels of God in order that the plans and purposes of God could be established in the land in that day.

“A SPIRITUAL TUG OF WAR IS RAGING”

Prophetically this morning I was shown this same battle that this raging in this very hour over the Birthright and Destiny of the United Kingdom, BUT I HEAR THE SPIRIT SAY, “FEAR NOT, FOR FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT YOU SET YOUR MIND TO UNDERSTAND AND YOU HUMBLED YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR GOD, YOURS WORDS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD, AND I HAVE COME”!

Call to intercessors to declare “CUT” over our nation!

Posted on by

I’m privileged that Paul Clift has shared the full details surrounding the following dream with me as they authenticate his account and its importance. The ‘Background’ provides a good example of prophetic protocol, and next post shows it confirms an earlier word:

A Prophetic Dream of the Spiritual Tug-of-War

We are in a very fierce spiritual war for this nation of the UK. The evidence is all around us. We need to earnestly pray at this time.

I saw a tug-of-war taking place. This is not a party game but a massive spiritual war between opposing sides. It is a David and Goliath situation. I was reminded from the book of Ecclesiastes that a three-stranded cord is not easily broken. There are many more strands in a rope.

The Holy Spirit said that,

“The rope will not break in the natural realm. The rope can only be broken supernaturally. If the intercessors, prayer warriors and people of God repent and rise up together then all it will take is ONE word: “CUT”. God will respond and take hold of His sword which is sharper than any two-edged sword. The rope will be cleanly cut. The effect will be the two teams pulling on the rope will be taken by surprise. Each team will fall to the ground some distance from each other. Each team will be in a heap wondering what has happened.

“Do you not know there is an enemy within? They smile and shake hands, but deep inside they are not for this nation, the United Kingdom. They are traitors!”

I was taken aback at the word ‘traitor’ but the Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus called the religious leaders of the day white-washed sepulchres.

“Do not be deceived by what you can see, because I see deep into the very depths of each human heart. In these days I am shaking everything that can be shaken and exposing for all to see the inner motives of people’s hearts.

“The heaps of people on the ground represents disarray, not knowing what to do, a difficult season. However, there will be a realisation after a short time that the United Kingdom is no longer in a tug-of-war. There will be a recovery. The EU will begin to blame each other and there will be much infighting. They will not recover.

“I need to bring Europe to its knees because I long for all people everywhere to come to repentance but pride is the obstacle. At this time intercede for Europe but repent and declare “CUT” over this nation.” [Underlining RB]

Gordian Knot Legend

Eve, my wife, noticed something on the TV and told me that I might be interested in what was being said in an interview.

On the morning of Wednesday May 28th 2019 an interview took place on BBC with Jacob Rees-Mogg (JRM). The interviewer asked him about a comment Jeremy Hunt had made earlier in the day describing the current situation between the EU and the UK “as a Gordian knot”. JRM described the legend.:

“There was an ox cart tied up with a complicated knot. An oracle had declared that any man who could unravel its elaborate knots was destined to become ruler of all of Asia. Alexander the Great wanted to untie the knot but struggled to do so without success. He then reasoned that it would make no difference how the knot was loosed, so he drew his sword and sliced it in half with a single stroke.”

Paul Clift
Wednesday 22nd May 2019 5.25am

Paul and Eve Clift started Healing Rooms England & Wales 16 years ago and passed it on last year but continue as Directors of Halifax Healing Rooms. They are Divisional Directors of Healing Rooms, which looks after about 15 nations across Europe, mostly Eastern Europe, and are part of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) at Kings Church, Halifax, which they’d started in their home.

Background:

The Prophetic Dream and the Gordian Knot were submitted in accordance with 1 Cor 14:29 to the SLT on Thursday 30th May 2019. At the next day’s SLT meeting both were considered and it was decided the Prophetic Dream and Gordian Knot should be read at the following Sunday’s morning meeting of Kings Church, when Paul was scheduled to conclude his teaching series on gifts of the Holy Spirit.

However, upon waking on Sunday Paul encountered a strong spiritual attack upon his health, which they realised was because of the dream. He needed help to get to church and was allowed to bring the prophetic dream at the beginning of the meeting – only then did the opposition start to lift.  A period of prayer and intercession based upon the prophetic word was held later.

In fact only the previous Sunday, 26th May 2019, the full time leader at King’s Church, Paul McMahon, had recognized the real need to pray urgently for this nation. Although this significant prophetic dream had come to Paul Clift days earlier whilst away, he felt constrained not to respond. He later realised this was appropriate for the subsequent submission of the dream to the church’s leadership.

Remembering and anticipating ‘Deliverance-Days’ 1944 & 2019 – Britain’s Destiny

Grateful thanks to the unknown creator of this splendid illustration

In his latest paper Dave Chapman briefly reviews pertinent parts of our history relating to spiritual conflict, as well as legal niceties, and looks forward to an upcoming ‘D-Day’ this year which we trust and pray will be Britain’s ‘Destiny-Day’, or day of deliverance.

I’m grateful for his permission to publish this document that draws attention not only to the spiritual but also to the legal rather than political truths of our Nation’s situation.

It is noteworthy that the day after David completed this paper the Lord told Leisa Ebere, “My Glory shall bring about National Deliverance” (as herein):

REMEMBERING D-DAY

by Dave Chapman

AN OLD WAR

It is the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy on the 6th of this month.
Though the War itself is not to be celebrated, the beginning of its end indeed is!  ‘D’ is simply a militarily term used as a countdown to the day of action – hence ‘D’ minus 3, 2, 1, then ‘D’-Day itself. In the event it became our ‘Deliverance’ Day, as Britain with its allies, including America, invaded Normandy in a western alliance to drive back and defeat the forces of Hitler; while Russia under Stalin, invaded from the East, all on cue. This long, bloody War was entering its last phase. Thank God for the freedoms though that were won in those ensuing days.

Jonathan Dimbleby, on interview for Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme on Friday 31st May, when asked about his father Richard Dimbleby, the first War Reporter for the BBC in 1936, ever speaking about his own role or experiences after the war, said:

“Not really.  Like so many he was so relieved victory had been achieved, that democracy and the rule of law had triumphed, he did not talk about the War……he thought you just got on with the future”.  (Emphases mine)

 

OUR PRESENT BATTLE

Poignant words indeed, and yet these are the two battle fronts we face – but from a different ‘foe’ now. This time it is from within! [Emphasis RB] Continue reading →

Leisa Ebere: Holy Spirit’s Trumpet Call re. shaking and changes in high places

Posted on by
2

In her email of yesterday morning Lesia writes, ‘In the light of Brexit and the winds of change currently underway in regards to the political landscape of the UK, the Lord has given me this Prophetic Word today:’

TRUMPET CALL TO THE UK

I heard the Lord say: “There is an outsider coming into leadership of the British Isles that shall bring a fresh perspective to old habits. I am fashioning My Will to abide in this nation and causing major changes to take place in high places”, says the Lord. “More of the same shall not be the UK’s portion,” says the Lord. “For revival winds are beginning to touch upon fertile fields and shall cause the heads of standing wheat to bow down, as new crops spring up to replace tainted fields eaten up by disease and demonic infestations, which have troubled this nation for far too long. My Glory shall bring about National Deliverance,” says the Lord.

“Be not surprised as a shaking takes place in the next years ahead,” says God. “For I am bringing about change across many nations and positioning them to bring forth My Power, as establishers in the Faith stand their ground,” says the Lord. Continue reading →

Veronika West: the Lion King of Glory is invading and shaking the nations

Posted on by

With the hour Veronika posted the following vision on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Fb. Having heard the angelic choir singing ‘All Hail The Lamb’, I’m absolutely sure what Veronika heard was utterly awesome. So we wait and continue watching the Shaking. (Her Fb follows with a vision of a dove landing on Donald Trump’s shoulder):

“WATCH!! FOR THE LION KING OF GLORY IS NOW INVADING THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”..

Then a powerful vision opened up before me where I saw the MIGHTY LION KING RUNNING THE LENGTH AND THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH, AS HE RAN SO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WERE SHAKEN VIOLENTLY, THEN I HEARD HIS MIGHTY ROAR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE GOING FORTH UPON THE WHOLE EARTH AND THEN SUDDENLY I SAW THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY BREAKING FORTH UPON THE NATIONS, I SAW THE POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES OF DARKNESS TREMBLE AND FLEE AT THE SIGHT AND THE SOUND OF THE MIGHTY LION KING, THEN I WATCHED AS POWERFUL DEMONIC STRONGHOLDS BEGAN TO CRUMBLE AND FALL, I SAW THRONES OF WITCHCRAFT AND WICKEDNESS BEING OVERTHROWN AND OVERTURNED. THEN I HEARD THE SOUND OF A MULTITUDE OF ANGELS BEGIN TO SING OVER THE NATIONS,

“BEHOLD THE MIGHTY LION KING OF JUDAH WHO RULES THE HEAVENS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE NOW ARISES OVER THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”’!!

BE EXPECTANT!! Many will begin to have divine encounters with the Lion of Judah He is revealing Himself to His servants, His friends in this hour, He is REVEALING TO BRING FORTH AN ACCELERATION OF HEALING AND REPENTANCE TO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Brexit Party God-incidence via ‘Bridge o’er the Pond’ (GPS #33)

Posted on by

At long, long last another instance of the spiritual bridge over ‘the Pond’ ! (An imaginary supra-natural bridge linking Britain with North America used by Holy Spirit for delivering the same, or similar, teaching, messages or prophetic words on opposite sides of the North Atlantic ocean on the same, or next, day – see earlier posts.)

As told last Thursday in the previous post, it was the day of the EU elections when I emailed Dave Chapman about an intercessor at his church having contacted Nigel Farage. We didn’t proceed further in view of the Bank Holiday weekend and awaiting results of the election. However, on the holiday Monday, Canadian intercessor Maxine Phyllis left this notable comment to the dream about the next Prime Minister, and which warrants separate publication (note; a ‘gremlin’ treated it as ‘spam’!):

Symbolic of Holy Spirit's active power across the Atlantic

Endless Bridge by Evgeni Denev (credit Freedigitalphotos.net)

‘From Atlantic Canada: This brings me to an experience I had with the Lord in which I was given a free air ticket in 2008, to travel to England where I spent two weeks based in Somerset County. I flew out of Halifax, Nova Scotia on October 31, 2008 and spent the Remembrance Day season in Britain. As a descendant of Canadian war veterans it was a huge deal to me, but the LORD – the Holy One of Israel – had something to show me about where the political realms came to an end and the Kingdom of God begins. I saw in the Spirit a great dark veil spread over all of North America and I heard the Lord say “The entire western hemisphere needs to learn the way of the cross for what comes next.”

‘From this perspective, as I read through the text of this spiritual dream above, it speaks volumes to me about what’s to come next for the Judeo-Christian world. From a Kingdom perspective the BREXIT campaign is NOT just about upholding democracy for Britain, but it’s about preserving freedom for Kingdom sons to become all they were created to be for such a time as this. All of creation is waiting to see it, as the fullness of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit takes up residence on earth as He is in heaven (Romans 8:17-21). Therefore, any political leader who promises Brexit in order to support democracy only will not be able to complete the task because, in the fullness of the Kingdom, there comes an end to freedom for individuals to continue promoting the sinful human nature. Whether he knows it or not, a governing authority put in place as a Prime Minister responsible for carrying Brexit to its completion, is one put in place by God to facilitate the separation of goats and sheep (Romans 13, Matthew 25). Unless he understands how God is using him he will be thrown into utter confusion by thinking his highest goal is to ensure financial freedom for a Judeo-Christian nation; even if it means ensuring those who practice rebellion towards God are free to continue doing so.

‘Since I returned to Atlantic Canada I’ve had powerful visions from heaven about the New Jerusalem coming down from God through the UK and over to North America, for the sole purpose of bringing forth the fulfillment of His promises about Israel and the Jewish people. On the day of the Brexit referendum – June 23, 2016 – the Lord led me to go prayer walking on behalf of the UK and I saw in the Spirit an open heaven between Atlantic Canada and the heavenly realms over England. I saw the LORD stand up from His throne and applaud. I asked Him how to pray and He revealed to me that His plans lined up with another 23rd day described in the book of Esther (Esther 8 – 23rd day of Sivan). He led me to pray for the Hamans to be hung on their own gallows. Then He showed me it was a time for the Church to write new decrees, however we see fit. The goal is the same now as it was then: to defend His sovereign purposes for Israel and the Jewish people. The nations are redeemed, or not, through their willingness to line up with His plans accordingly. We need to pray for all our governing authorities to be used as facilitators for this cause: to bring forth new wine and oil related to His coming Kingdom and His will to be done on earth as He is in heaven.

‘In the face of all that, the key word that hits my spirit from this dream described above, is the word ‘SCROLL’. It speaks to me of the Great Scroll of Isaiah which was preserved as one of the most important Dead Sea scrolls and which, when translated into English, proves the veracity of the original King James Bible. The text of Isaiah in the original King James is almost word-for-word identical to the Great Scroll of Isaiah translated directly from Hebrew to English. Also, the word SCROLL in this dream speaks to me of Revelation 10:10. I’ve had literal experiences here in Atlantic Canada with this, hearing the voice of the seven thunders speaking from up over the UK to the free Judeo-Christian world. I’ve had visitations from the Lord as a result of having met Him in a powerful way at the Morning Room of Wesley’s Chapel, Bristol, UK. It’s like an open heaven from there to Atlantic Canada follows me around and I often hear the word “SCROLL”; as if this scroll described in Revelation 10:10 is originating from the ministry begun by the Wesleys in Bristol and London. There is something decidedly English about it all, as the English language was spread far and wide along with the distribution of the King James Bible, and English is now the world’s ‘lingua franca’ – the ‘go-to’ language for people of other tongues to have one common language in order to communicate.

‘I’ve made it a personal mission to pray for Nigel Farage to be transformed into a Kingdom son, so that Brexit will be used to point people to the coming Kingdom of God. Then the freedom that is so desperately being sought will be used to exalt above all else the Name of the Lord and His Word. That the Prime Minister in this dream above placed his head on the author’s shoulder, speaks of him resting his understanding on the Presence of the Kingdom of God in the life of the author, and on the truth that ‘the government will be on His shoulders’. (Isaiah 9:6). The Prime Minister in this dream is asking for understanding and support from the Kingdom of God to sustain our God-given freedom for the Judeo-Christian nations. He needs to be transformed into a Kingdom son to make it happen. He needs to learn what it means to take up the cross and follow Christ – first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. This is an anointing and mantle the Lord has given me to teach to the ‘entire western hemisphere’ but it currently appears that the darkness will get darker still before even Spirit-led, mature believers will agree to meet the Lord at the cross in a personal way.

‘Feel free to connect for the purposes of interceding for the Kingdom’s plans for Brexit to prevail. I have a site – Through Fire and Water – which the Lord continues to prompt me to rename ‘gloryofzioncanada.ca’. He has done a very hidden work from a Canadian perspective related to the cross, for the purpose of standing in the gap for both UK and USA.’

Norris Point, Newfoundland, April 2008

Maxine’s message evokes strong personal connections for several reasons.

First, I well recall my first sightings of the other end of the ‘bridge’ upon flying over Newfoundland and Nova Scotia en-route to Toronto, as well as down to Florida for the Caribbean and inland to Arizona.

Also, within 10 miles of our home in East Hampshire are three Canadian war memorial sites. Our associated church of St Mary’s in Bramshott has a cemetery of over 300 graves of our Canadian allies fallen in the Great War (Alison Avery’s photos include those of Canadian Memorial planting of maple trees).

My earliest memory, however, is told in my 2,000th post in connection with my writing as well as sketching a short story which my class-teacher commended to the headmistress of my primary school. (Inspired by the motto “The Mountie always gets his man”, the hero received a medal from the young Queen Elizabeth for his bravery.)  And what’s more, as I blogged about that we were following the Netflix drama ‘When Calls The Heart’, which features the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Mulling over ‘May-hem’, the Battle for Britain, the EU elections

Posted on by

[Prepared on Thursday 23rd May, the afternoon before PM May’s resignation, and held pending permission for added quotation.]

Such exceptionally historic days for our nation and, as a consequence, for the federal union of European nations. Therefore, I offer a few thoughts jotted at the beginning of April and then on the subsequent launch of the Brexit Party and Friday’s unexpected elections for UK representatives to sit in the European Parliament!

Seven weeks ago today I jotted thoughts percolating in my mind over the demise of democracy, as shown in public reactions to the legitimate result of the largest vote in British history encouraged by our dishonest representatives in Parliament, aided and abetted by grossly muddled and incompetent government. We see the collapse of the Conservative party as its leader Theresa May scythes through its grassroots’ support, on top of the ‘May-hem’ in politics, media and across public and business domains.

AND what an astonishing week it’s been with the whole party now against its leader as Prime Minister, but who steadfastly refuses to resign – yet!  I regret to come to no other logical conclusion but that Mrs May has deliberately betrayed the electorate and trying to compromise with every shade of opinion.

Also, I’m reminded how the grave state of national breakdown, not only politically but also spiritually and therefore morally, exactly fits what I saw emerging out of thin air 15 years ago as an open vision of Britain (as here).

Let me stress straight away, as when collating my expanding series of blogs about the EU and the In/Out question: my own politics are non-partisan because the Kingdom of God has priority.

SOME SCRIPTURES

Let’s check a couple of pertinent New Testament scriptures penned by Paul. The first was written about 10 years before Nero persecuted Christians after the great fire of Rome, and then followed by many other persecutions across the Roman Empire. Yet such atrocities did not result in this passage’s ‘redaction’ at the hands of the early Church for they appreciated the essay’s content was inspired by the Holy Spirit; that is, they were words from God Himself. Here’s the basic Christian perspective of worldly, ruling authorities:

Submit to Government

1. Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore, you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. [Romans 13; courtesy Biblegateway.com]

Another ten years and Paul instructs his protégé Timothy upon responsibilities in caring for souls:

Pray for All Men

1. Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. [1 Timothy 2, courtesy Biblegateway.com]

MODERN & BIBLICAL PROPHECY

Therefore, much as it is right to weigh, test and question prophetic words that seem to have endorsed Mrs May’s premiership, nevertheless according to scripture her position and authority are God-ordained. So, even if we doubt a prophet’s claims about a word from God saying she’s His person for the UK (and infer they come from the prophet’s opinion only), such a claim is nevertheless accurate in being in accord with scripture.

After all, the Lord used satan and its schemes promulgated through the leaders of the ancient Jews for His purposes in bringing about a plot to crucify His own son, our Lord Jesus Christ, for our own good…!

So, we could say even arch-betrayer Judas Iscariot was God’s man for that time!

Thus the Lord is no doubt using Mrs May and the may-hem she’s created, as well as manipulated within her government, party and Parliament to bring about His purposes and Britain’s End-time destiny in Him. All this unprecedented chaos and confusion fully accords with what some prophets said about the purpose behind these convulsions.

In other words, our fuller prophetical understanding of the mess the nation has fallen into, lies in not only national leaders’ rank rebellion against God and their disavowal of our unique, most ancient Christian heritage, but also in an appreciation that our turmoil and humiliation is precisely what He is permitting for our own eventual good.

Furthermore, let’s remind ourselves of the mechanism of this great apostasy foreseen by Paul and stand in dreadful awe and holy fear of his description of how God will allow and enable those reprobates to empower, yet imperil, themselves. Note how it happens:

‘…The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.‘ [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, emphases added]

BREXIT PARTY’s STANCE

Since my drafting the above, Nigel Farage has returned to politics with the launch of the Brexit Party and spectacularly overtaking Conservative and Labour support, as shown in pre-election polls (as herein). We’ve now witnessed the electorate’s contempt for her  governments’ failure by Nigel thrashing and trashing Theresa’s Tories into fifth place!!! (Slumping to its lowest ever share in European elections.)

Further to his article on Brexit and our Democratic Responsibility, Dave Chapman tells me that “one of our prayer partners in the House of Prayer felt she had to write to some key politicians.” He writes, “Just thought: Old Testament prophets regularly got involved in speaking to kings in Israel, often giving their tacit backing as well as rebuking them.

“The particular prayer partner comments that Nigel Farage’s ancestors were French Huguenots, so like Trump, there is a trace of steely Godly influence somewhere in his DNA.  In fact, after the Referendum result she wrote to him – because she believed the Lord prompted her to – commending him and thanking him for all his input. 

“She specifically said to him that there was another who was reviled, in fact even more than he, and was crucified for such as us.  Some time later she had a reply, apologising for his delay in responding, as he’d decided to write personally to everyone who wrote him.

“From that letter it became clear to her that he understood our heritage in this Nation was of a Judeo-Christian nature and there would be a real battle to maintain it, even though he did not have her kind of faith.”

GOD’S STRATEGY FOR EU ELECTIONS?

Now permit me to speculate: if the Brexit Party wins the European elections in Britain by a landslide then their representation in Brussels will give huge support to other nations’ rejection of the EU’s dominance, thereby assisting in its prophesied downfall. In fact, the one-time Prime Minister of the Czech Republic ended his speech at the Party’s Olympia Rally almost pleading, on behalf of the peoples in Europe who want to be free of the EU’s domination, that Britain lead the way by completing our exit.

Had Mrs May not been so obdurate in delaying implementation of Brexit, then Britain would have left the EU on 29 March and we wouldn’t be eligible for representation in its parliament – and thus unable to rock the EU’s boat, as is likely with the Brexit Party’s expected wins.

So in some mysterious way, maybe the now resigned Prime Minister Theresa May and ‘reignited’ politician Nigel Farage are actually serving the Lord’s purposes!

As Dave closes our correspondence: “Btw, what would Leave voters have done in these EU Elections if there were no Brexit Party?  Must have been a ‘God thing’!”

TODAY’S  EUROPEAN  PARLIAMENTARY  ELECTIONS

According to God’s word in Psalm 145:4, ‘One generation shall declare Your works to another’:

We decree and declare a fresh awareness of the Godly heritage within our political system, of the Biblical foundations under it and of the principles released through it, will sweep across this land. We declare media, churches, schools and individuals will see the relevance and significance of that heritage; teaching and instructing according to the truths of history.

We thank You for that Godly heritage and in the Name of Jesus, we declare it will be recovered, restored and connected to Your future purpose for this land. We decree and declare this Nation will be connected, shaped, led, governed and influenced according to Your Kingdom purpose and plan, and we decree the outworking of the European Parliamentary elections will cause this Nation to move according to the Spirit of God.

Even as the winds of God are blowing across this land, we declare His people will stand upon their watch, to see and to pray, that the political weariness upon the land will be lifted and His Will done. We declare He is working within the power structures of our land, and He is working within the streets and communities, that this Nation will walk in the fullness of its God-given calling.

Prophecy Update #4: 1997 Dennis Cramer prophecy for England

Posted on by
6

Geoffrey Pick, editor of UK Prophetic Words and FB’s ‘Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival’ draws attention to a prophetic word published on The Elijah List in 2005, but which was first received in 1997 by Dennis Cramer.  “That was a time”, says Geoff, “When prophecy over the UK was rare here … we are already in the season of some of this word and will be entering into the best of the healings to come soon – welcome Holy Spirit, glorify Jesus over our land – Prophets have a major role in protecting the nation.”  AMEN.

Moreover, I recall 1997 was when I witnessed Smith-Wigglesworth’s prayer partner in rapture with the same absolutely awesome vision of Britain in the far future that the evangelist-healer had been given.

At this moment in our history, Dennis’ reference to God dealing with our nation’s rotten political system is bang-on target in view of the unprecedented shaking we’re now going through!!

Background

First, here’s Steve Schulz’ introduction to his republishing on 14 July 2005 what Dennis had brought earlier. (Visitor’s to my blog’s Library may recall references to Chuck Pierce and the terrorist attacks on London Transport – 2005 ‘shelf’ refers.)

‘I was in Europe when the attacks came to London last week. It’s interesting that, before I flew away three weeks ago, I set my Elijah List publishing staff down and told them, “If while I’m gone there is a 9/11-type of attack anywhere, this is how you are to handle it, because I may or may not have access to the Internet.” They did a splendid job, by the way . . .

‘Among other instructions I gave them, I told them, “If some attack occurs, call Chuck Pierce’s office first to see if God has given anything to him.” God woke Chuck Pierce up at 4:30 AM the morning of the London Attacks. And Chuck rushed out the revelation through the Elijah List and several other outlets. Now, on the day of the one-week “anniversary” of that attack on London, I’ve arrived back home. You can read that word at:http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=3217.

‘There was a message waiting for me when I arrived home last night from Denny Cramer, a prophet that I’ve ministered for many years with. We carry several of his books, including the one that this England word below was excerpted from his best-selling book, THE NEXT 100 YEARS. In this book are many profound prophecies about many cities, states, and countries around the world.

‘Dennis’ message left on my voicemail suggested I look at what he’d written in 1997 about England, including his references to what would happen to England regarding events from revival to terrorist attacks, which would bring England to the brink of war.’

1997 PROPHETIC WORD CONCERNING GREAT BRITAIN

England: A Preparer of the Church 
England will become a great “exporter” to the world-wide Christian Church. She will export a new breed of apostles, a new model of preachers, and an army of women evangelists.

A Healing Anointing
Unusual healings will take place in cities all across England. Specific cities will be known as healing centers for specific diseases. Many people will be healed on their way to these geographical locations – before they even arrive!

Incredible supernatural demonstrations of God’s power will free many from lifelong ailments in an instant, and people from around the world will come to drink of these healing waters made available by a loving, caring God.

As this healing anointing spreads, city after city will witness inconceivable, unimaginable, divine healings that will set the standard for power evangelism around the world. As a result, these cities will birth a new breed of power evangelists, many of them women.

These highly prophetic women will take this healing anointing throughout Europe and Asia, then around the world! Specifically, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic will benefit from the overflow of this English revival.

Standing Guard
As England is sovereignly blessed within her borders, foreign powers outside her borders will rise up against her.

England will be targeted by non-Christian nations, especially Islamic nations, who will push her to the brink of war. Some of her former allies, however, will stand by and mock her. [Emphases mine]

In the face this assault, Christians from around the world will unite in intercession, and England will be spared. Her biggest ally of all, the United States, will stand faithfully by her side militarily, politically, and spiritually.

As foreign tensions mount, a group of valuable “watchman” type prophets will stand guard over England, issuing accurate prophetic warnings to the nation. Even now God is issuing such a warning against a new insidious form of terrorism that will strike against England’s population.

God says to England, “Guard yourself against foreign terrorism, especially in the cities of your northeastern coast. Don’t be fooled by the past. Nations who claim to be your friends will prove otherwise.”

The Hand of God
Economically, England will enter the 21st century stronger than ever. When other allies are not doing well economically, she will prosper. This will be a supernatural sign from God.

National illnesses – physical ailments that have gone unchecked for years – will suddenly decrease as God’s mercy falls on England. Her national birth-rate will increase dramatically -a blessing from God.

Even new oil reserves will be discovered off her shores. Finally, God will clean up her political process, eliminating corruption and greed, making England an example for other nations to follow.

Clearly, the hand of God will be on England in a special way. She must remember to whom much is given, much will be required.

RB Note: Some ask did Dennis mean just England, or the whole of the UK & NI. In my opinion, and judging from Tony Puccio’s remarks concerning his references to England, this is normally American shorthand for Britain, unless specific reference clearly applies; eg. as in Tony’s accurate dreams about Big Ben.

Triple validation of the reality of my encounter with Jesus

Posted on by
2

APPENDIX TO PERSONAL TESTIMONY

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

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

The First Advent was the time when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year.

The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to begin in the city of Jerusalem.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ the heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus, and that the impressive action was a foretaste of his promised return, when He will come in all His power and glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the content of every Sunday service throughout the year with a diagram symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for First Sunday in Advent. This depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, indicative of events before his Second Advent!

The confirmation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed, after lunch a stranger who’d been seated at my table confided that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

christinclouds-lrgIt was a photo taken, it was claimed, from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ, as though standing within clouds. However, the facial features were hazy, not defined. It was exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face.  (I recall dark, hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one is published by Bible Probe.)

Upon seeing this photo my legs gave way – I couldn’t stand but fell into a nearby chair! My companion said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall.

Yet, just how did a stranger know to show me this photo?  I’d not divulged such a personal dream – she simply said, “It’s the Lord’s doing”.

SECOND VALIDATION

I was puzzled over the closing element of the dream-event, that is:  upon my reaching towards Jesus’ feet to grasp his robe, it turned into the branch of a Christmas tree!  So, when I tugged, a Christmas tree toppled over and its fairy fell off and onto the floor.

Weird?  Not really, because that spot by the window was where the family Christmas tree used to be erected. It was a corner closely associated with Christmas.

As a devout Catholic, my mother had told me about Jesus from an early age. When I painted pictures I would put a blue stripe at the top of outdoor scenes to represent heaven, as children did. But I’d also draw a Christmas tree in heaven as being Jesus.

Why? Not only had I associated all the wonder of Christmas with his birthday but I also heard an actor  on TV mention his name whilst looking at a small fir-tree. So in my childish way I took the actor at his word and would draw Jesus as a Christmas tree.  Hence, the dream changed him to match that image.

At its close, therefore, the dream-event signified the time had come to put away not only childish misconceptions but also all false teachings and replace them with absolute truth – the one who is the Truth in person.

Truly, the most fantastic Christmas present ever – one that’s daily an ever-present encouragement and help in every time of need, no matter how dire. Thank you Lord.

These events started in 1989 and culminated in 1995 with its prime confirmation. Yet more was to come!  Sixteen years later upon revisiting this story for the purposes of this blog, I was surprised by a couple more insights that dropped unbidden into mind. One was tantalising: could the street number of my childhood home (212) possibly be significant in pointing toward the coming year? That is, to 2012!  

Could that notion be true?  Such musing would be confirmed in a fascinating numerical manner at 2012’s first Christian conference we were to attend…Upon our arrival at the venue I was curious about distance driven from home. The car’s odometer was ‘212’ miles!

THIRD VALIDATION

Once again, timing proves crucial in presenting another objective confirmation!  Again, had I not been writing about the visitation I would have missed the crucial linkage!

Whilst writing installments of My Journey Into Freedom (Sept-Oct 2013) I inserted a report on something pertinent that happened at that time in the USA, as recounted in the previous post. This came as a ‘new revelatory word’ from the Lord to Revd John Kilpatrick and began at 2:22am. This too, is very interesting on two counts. Numerically, because my birthday falls on a 22nd. Orally, because that word is directly relevant to my dream visitation in referring to the angelic host as well as in closing with Luke 21:28, namely:

“But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.”

My mother’s Missal for the First Sunday of Advent is shown below and notice how the scripture on page 69 links into my personal visitation and what pastor John brought.

Prophecy for appointed nations on ‘The Governing of My Spirit’

Posted on by
Reply

Leisa writes, ‘I am presently in America in…and sensing the discouragement and battles of many of my Prophetic Kin. But God will arise and His enemies be scattered. Please find this prophetic word the Lord gave me yesterday. God will have His Way. Hallelujah!’

THE GOVERNING OF MY SPIRIT PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere, 12/05/19, whilst in America:

The Lord would say that “America faces a grave battle, for the hands of the prophets are tired and the battle fierce, and yet My Spirit is doing a mighty thing in the midst of this darkness; as the church learns to redirect its focus from the patterns and directives of man to My ways. The Dry Bones shall receive the watering of My Spirit. And I am imploring My Prophets to arise for such a time as this; and not to let fear and discouragement keep them from speaking forth My Words of Life. I am deposing an old-world government and bringing a governing of My Spirit into My Body,” says the Lord. “And some will step away; but others will embrace the winds of change as I sweep across the nation of America, the UK and other appointed nations, and cause the world to be changed by their ever increasing brightness. Cutting words shall arise from the mouth of the evil one to criticise and condemn the move of My Spirit that I am sending in the next years ahead because it will be like no other that has ever been seen. But trust Me, My People, that the outworking of My Spirit shall cause such things to have little or no effect, as the harvest of My Strength brings about a radical and lasting change to those who are hungry and thirsty and it will deliver healing and peace to the nations. Credibility shall be restored to My Remnant, as the stranglehold of Leviathan no longer polarises and deceives My Church. Rise up Prophets of God and receive your bounty. I am here and empowering you to take the nations by storm and to invoke a lasting change,” says the Lord of Hosts.

Bible’s Author opens it to answer my ‘newbie’ questions

Posted on by
2

(5 of 7) Awesome as my ‘rescue’ was, the dream-vision recounted in part 4 didn’t make me want to rush off to church. That visitation’s effect and the ramifications upon my way of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out New Age claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the late 2nd Century ‘Muratorian Fragment’ drawn up in the church at Rome. It lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who took Him seriously. I soon did so but needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask…

CULTURE SHOCK

A few months before the dream-visitation, I’d learned some members of the church that had invited me to hear Billy Graham met in the school next door to my house! Later, I heard they’d given young Peter prayer-backing for his discussions with me (as in part 3). That is, they’d targeted me!  And God answered their prayers by giving me that ‘dream’.

The first service I attended there in that familiar, small school hall was a culture shock!

Standing before a young man devoid of dog-collar but wearing an acoustic guitar led the meeting in song and spoke without any script or ritual whatsoever – even engaging the congregation in discussion!  Some attendees testified to angelic protection in their lives: I’d thought this subject was lost to churchgoers. Starting the ‘sermon’, he said he’s going to look at the shortest gospel, that of Mark, and would continue in the next weeks. In saying, “It’s action packed and full of urgency” he intrigued me, and this fitted in with my intention of checking out the Bible.

Therefore, I thought it might prove useful to come again. At the next session one thing he taught stuck in my mind: “In Mark, who was the first to recognise who Jesus really is?”  Answer: an unclean spirit (see Mark 1:24). I was thus reminded of that dream’s events – and of the exceptionally unsettling, very vivid one years earlier of a devouring monster of darkness (as in ‘Reality Revealed’ in part 2).

[I was reminded of that scripture at a school of healing in 2017, when the teacher asked why would Jesus silence a demonic testimony of His identity? The answer: coming from an unclean tainted source, even truth itself gets contaminated!  Also, I know that’s been satan’s modus operandi since the Garden of Eden – the father of lies and half-truths. Moreover, this fact points out that being’s pretext for rebellion, and raises questions about the religiously sanctioned practice of ‘taqiya’, as in Islam.]

MOVING TOWARDS FREEDOM

During 1990, therefore, I came into a good place to build upon that dream encounter by learning about the Bible and, more importantly, by listening to God through His written word and to come into a close relationship with Him. As stated above, it was opportunity to test claims about discussing the Bible’s content with its Author without any priest as ‘intermediary’.

The first of many times this happened brought incredibly clear – and shocking! – proof that God really does speak from the Bible, as claimed by many believers in Jesus.

My 1st Question of God

It was important to review my uncharitable views about the clergy. You may understand  how difficult it was for me to contemplate attending church, let alone with regularity – not to mention being under the oversight of clergy.  I wrongly suspected they couldn’t comprehend the dark situation I’d come from.

And so I put preachers’ claims about the Word of God to the test and asked if God could  show me from His book His opinion of clergy and about my attending this church…

My Bible fell open at Hebrews 13:17, giving this most apposite answer and instruction:

Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. (Emphases mine.)

That well and truly put me in my place and enabled me to make my mind up. Thank you Lord for answering and correcting me!

My 2nd Question of God

Later that year I reviewed the occult teaching about Jesus in that brotherhood’s books on His ‘mystical life’ and ‘secret doctrines’. They’d attracted me at 20 years of age, and there were various claims in a massive mound of monographs, as well as teachings of its sister brotherhood based on the dogmatic Kabbalah (Jewish esoteric belief system based upon Creation;  eg. the ‘Sepher Yetzirah’).

Initiates of one of that Gnostic initiatory group’s highest degrees were styled as ‘veiled prophets’ on the spurious grounds of using 2 Peter 1:19.  Yet the Bible was very rarely discussed throughout my membership. Moreover, not only did this sole reference not quote the subsequent qualifying verse 20 (about the origin of all prophecy being in God’s Holy Spirit) but their practicum also failed to enable such initiates to prophesy! Hardly surprising…YET…

I asked God for His guidance through scripture on my membership and opened my new, pocket-sized Bible.  I’ve never been able to repeat what happened next – it immediately fell open at the very same second chapter of Apostle Peter’s second letter.  Its first ten verses stood out with startling clarity (the rest were hazily out-of-focus) – they warn about false teachers who:

‘…secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying our sovereign Lord who bought them – bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful way and bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with the stories they have made up. Their condemnation has been long hanging over them and their destruction has not been sleeping. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell…to be held for judgement…then the Lord knows how to…hold the unrighteous for the day of judgement, while continuing their punishment. ‘ (2 Peter 2:1-9 NIV)

The emphases hit ‘bull’s eye’, and the subsequent verses explain that assessment and what happens to such teachers as ‘springs without water and mists driven by storm’. This answer to my question was startlingly exact!  It  was jaw-dropping and eye-popping, as well as being a chilling condemnation of the teachers I’d known – absolutely awesome!

The Holy Author of the Bible had used it to answer my own personal question (Paul’s letter may be read in full here).

Specifically, that occultic group claimed its information had come from the Essenes and early Christians. Members of that Qumran community by the Dead Sea and across Judea were supposed to have assisted at Jesus’ birth and crucifixion, and as a Roman warrant had supposedly been issued to release Jesus before death, those supporters and ‘secret disciples’ helped to resuscitate Jesus.  Also, as God’s Holy Spirit had come upon Jesus during the baptism in the river Jordan and left during the crucifixion this supposedly indicated Jesus was human only, not one with Almighty God.

Furthermore, this group taught the necessity of acquiring initiatory knowledge to enable attainment of illumination and perfection of ourselves through reincarnation, and thus be one of the ‘ascended masters’ or world teachers, as claimed of Jesus the Christ.  That is, it had descended from the Gnostics and continued their doctrines, together with many others within the Western esoteric tradition.

The Gnostics and other heretical false doctrines about Jesus had vied for dominance over the early Church, and later greatly influenced the founder of Islam. This is why Apostle John’s first letter speaks so adamantly under direct inspiration of the ‘Author of the Bible’ about the spirit of anti-Christ and its slithering into churches to contend against the One who’d destroyed satan’s authority over humanity:

Beloved, do not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone into the world. By this you may know (perceive and recognise) the Spirit of God; every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God as its source];

And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, severe, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [non-confession] is the spirit of the antichrist, (of) which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.’ (1 John 4:1-3 Amp Bible)

Therefore, that brotherhood denied the divinity of Jesus Christ and the centrality of His sacrificial death and resurrection – from actual death – for the salvation of human souls, and thereby reconciling us with God and enabling our right of entry – in this life and the next – into His throne-room by the Blood of the Lamb.

Moreover, the Author of the Bible had pointed me to His truth about that group’s motives and its leaders’ dreadful destiny.

Conclusion

Consequently, I wanted to know lots more from the Living Lord God and His Son Jesus Christ.  It was a great blessing, therefore, that He soon directed to testimonials like mine (next).

Only upon revisiting this testimony many years later did I realise those passages in Peter’s letter and that to the ‘Hebrews’ starkly contrast both forms of leadership under which I’d served. The first was highly ungodly, and the latter is blessed by Father’s supreme protective cover for all His children.

Fulfilled Prophecy #10 cont’d – exposure of the EU’s evil

Posted on by

Three years ago this month a thought dropped into mind whilst I was taking a walk. I was only musing, or so I thought, but wanted to offer it to readers for consideration. So upon returning home I tried doing so, BUT my email got hit by a cyber-gremlin attack – this hindrance confirmed the Lord was behind that insight!  Thus, on 26th May 2016 I asked Is the Lord Exposing Rotten Politics? UK, USA – next EU??

Regular readers will recall that six months later that passing thought became fulfilled prophecy – and it’s since been repeated so many times I’ve been unable to report each instance. This blog’s Fulfilled Prophecies hub currently lists five examples, and Belgian video Brexit: Behind Closed Doors in my reblog of Comes the Hour, Comes the (New) Party makes the sixth for it specifically exposes the European Union’s evil heart!

Brexit Central publishes Mark Francois MP’s dununciation of EU based not only upon the video’s content but also upon his personal ministerial experience of working there (emphases mine):

‘How can it be, that our so-called ‘EU partners’ can treat our elected representatives – and by inference the British people – with such utter contempt?

‘Perhaps I can help offer an explanation, based on my experience as the Conservative Party’s Shadow Europe Minister between 2007 and 2010. In those three years, reporting to the then Shadow Foreign Secretary, William Hague, I spent a considerable amount of time travelling around the EU and interacting with those in the European institutions, such as the European Commission and the European Parliament. This taught me a number of things but, more than anything, it brought home to me that the desire to form a federal European state – often referred to by its advocates as “the Project” – is almost an act of religious faith among some politicians on the continent, such that absolutely nothing and no-one may be allowed to stand in its way.

‘For these people, such as President Macron of France but other European leaders too (and certainly the political elites in their countries), what the British did in voting to leave the European Union in 2016, was, therefore, simply unforgivable. We rejected “the Project” and thus committed an utterly heretical act. This was apostasy – and as such, in their view – we deserve everything we get.

‘This was absolutely plain for all to see from the sheer derision with which the British were treated throughout the two hours of footage. On one occasion – incredibly, bearing in mind he was on camera – one of Verhofstadt’s staffers, exclaimed on hearing that we had agreed to the 585-page so-called “Withdrawal Agreement”, that “We have made them a colony!”. The sheer joy that was evidenced on the faces of the European negotiators when it became apparent that we had acceded to the “Withdrawal Agreement” tells you everything you need to know about why they regarded it as a clear victory over Britain...’

Read Mark’s full article for why BBC4’s Brexit documentary should be compulsory viewing before voting in the European elections. He concludes,

‘Perhaps the best quote from the EU side, although admittedly it did not feature in the programme, was when the EU’s Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier said some months ago:

“I’ll have done my job if, in the end, the deal is so tough on the British that they would prefer to stay in the EU.”

‘In summary, for all our sakes, I would urge every MP and indeed everyone who is thinking of casting a vote in the European Elections on 23rd May (which I hope will be as many people as possible) to watch this programme before deciding how to cast their ballot.

‘The European elite have completely given themselves away – on camera – and proven once and for all via this programme that 17.4 million people were right all along.’

As blogged some time ago, I claimed exposure of what the EU is truly like should repel all right-thinking British citizens and make our ‘EU-Remainers’ rethink their opinion and attitude towards everyone who wants Britain to leave the EU free of all constraints.

The night Jesus broke through the window!

(4 of 7) The second visitor over the night of 13-14th September 1989 was far more challenging than that evening’s first one, when I’d shut the door on hearing about Jesus – this time it is life or death!  Mine!!

THE HEAVENLY VISITOR

In a most unusual dream that night I go back in time. A dream so lucid that even thirty years later, it remains vividly etched within me. Therefore, it must be exceptionally significant. Continue reading →

The day I shut the door on Jesus!

(3rd of 7) NOTE: This two-part testimony was posted as one of my first blogs. Originally written over 25 years ago as ‘More Than A Dream’, it’s expanded to elaborate upon my changed life as a committed Christian in my journey into freedom.

THROUGH THE DEVIL’S DOOR!

A very brief recap:

Since my teens I’d wholeheartedly embraced esoteric spiritual doctrines and practices such as the Eastern and Theosophical belief of reincarnation and ascended masters, as well as those of Western occultism plus concepts generally known as deism.

I thought that as all religions are equal there are many paths to a supreme being –but which is not the same as the anthropomorphic deity of the Abrahamic religions. That is, it’s different to and far superior to human beings – a ‘cosmic mind’ with which we can be attuned and attain ‘cosmic consciousness’, as experienced by many and practised in the associations of which I was an active member.

I appreciated the linkage with mystical Islam of Sufism as well as having read its Book. It was only after becoming a born-again Christian that I studied its early history and came to understand its fundamental, doctrinal differences with Judaism and Christianity.

Thus, two decades of an occultic practicum made me disdainful of churches, clergy and laity. They were all so very behind the times – even archaic!  Intellectual and spiritual pride made me think their preaching could never compare with the profound philosophy found within ‘New Age’ movements. Such arrogance, of which I’m ashamed!

A DIFFERENT DOOR OPENS!

Sometime in July/August 1989, a young man named Peter knocked at the front door with an invitation to hear the world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham at Earls Court in London. We could be taken in a coach trip from outside our house west of Reading. How much? Nada, entirely free!

Naturally, I rejected the offer outright but my almost-teenage son piped up he’d like to go because a classmate had told him about it. So I said I’d take him.

As can be gathered from my journey into spiritual captivity, personal experiences had made me extremely wary of churchgoers. Never did I suspect my own well-being hung in the balance at that moment after the knock on the door!.

Can you imagine my bewilderment, therefore, upon sitting ‘up in the gods’ at Earls Court and finding myself agreeing with what Billy Graham said as he spoke from the rostrum? 

I was flummoxed! Utterly bewildered! Who’s thinking that? Can that be me? Never!… Really?

Afterwards, as a follow-up, those who’d been on the trip were invited to an informal meeting at a local ‘free’ church. The leader explained that similar chats could be held   at our own homes, if we so wished. I agreed to be on-hand for my son but I was NOT personally interested. A youth worker, Peter, was assigned to help him but, in practice, he ended up discussing the material with me.

The evening of Wednesday 13th September 1989, is Peter’s third visit to our house to discuss Billy Graham’s follow-up material entitled Life. I have not yet divulged my firmly held – even entrenched – opinions, but this time he goes too far!

WHAT WENT WRONG?

This session is entitled, ‘Yoga, Eastern Religions and The Occult’ – all of which I’d been involved in since before Peter had been born!

Peter shows a diagram of two cliffs facing one another. One represents heaven and the other earth, with a large deep gap separating them. Over this Peter places a large plus sign over the gap. The ends of the horizontal arms touch each object, thereby bridging heaven and earth. He explains the cross of Christ is the bridge between both realms.

He then says the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. This statement implies my own ideas are wrong!  Without giving the game away I gently question him on this. But he insists not many paths lead to the same, supreme God – there’s only one way to one almighty God and it’s through his Son Jesus Christ.

What’s to be done with a young man half my age who unwittingly points out the error of my ways?

I’m thinking, “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. How can he, who’s not done any of the things I know far more about…just how can he tell me it’s wrong?  He’s wasting my time!”

Peter’s ideas are not only mistaken but also intolerant. Before the end of the evening I’ve had enough!

I SHUT THAT NEW DOOR

So I bring our discussion to an early end, show him to the door and, excusing myself from future meetings, bid him farewell. Peter is most gracious – he smiles politely and goes his way

But little did I know I may not make it through that night! My life was at risk!
