The Timelessness of Jesus Christ, by Tim Shey

Posted on Wednesday, 26 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

My thanks go to ‘high plains drifter’ Tim Shey somewhere out on The Road for this excellent contribution to a recent post, which warrants re-publishing in its own right.:

The Road – obedience is better than sacrifice

‘When I think on the word “saved” (as in, “I was saved twenty or thirty years ago” or “when were you saved?” and so on), as a Christian, it is probably an incorrect word or concept. To be saved implies the past. The Lord Jesus Christ is past, present and future. As a Christian, I abide in Christ right here, right now.

‘Let’s say someone surrendered their life to Christ a number of years ago. This is the BEGINNING of being connected with the timeless of Jesus Christ. As we take up our cross and die daily, our body and soul life are put to death, so that the spiritual life within us (Christ) grows stronger and stronger every day. As the passions of the body and soul life dies, time dies. Think of the sinful, physical body as shackled to time: the physical body is born on a certain date (time), it lives for 85 years (time) and then dies on a certain date (time).

‘There is a point in physical time when someone surrenders to timelessness—the Lord Jesus Christ. Worldly people and lukewarm Christians are still bound to time; spiritual Christians are timeless.

‘The power and beauty of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is that that timeless event (it defied time and space) pierced human time and presented us with the possibility of living a life connected to timelessness and sinlessness (abiding in Christ)—if we act in faith and surrender our lives to Jesus Christ.

‘1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

‘The above scripture absolutely implies, not some historical event (time), but the timelessness of Jesus Christ. To an unbeliever, the phrase “and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” is totally insane: the death of Jesus Christ happened over two thousand years ago (time). To a Christian, what happened at Calvary is happening right here right now (timelessness). If we walk in the light (abide in Christ daily), the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us (not cleansed us) from all sin.

‘Enoch walked with God and then God took him because (after many years of obeying the Lord through proper blood sacrifices [dying to self] and believing in the future Messiah) he walked in timelessness and eventually timelessness (God) took him. Enoch was no longer shackled by time.

‘Prophets are very timeless because the timeless Holy Ghost inspires them to speak of future events as if they are happening right here right now.

‘Time to stop writing.’

Timing of listening to ‘Time’

Posted on Wednesday, 26 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

G’day readers.

How did your day start as you got under way? Do you notice time seems to have different speeds when you’re getting up? Sometimes I have to get a move on to beat the clock and be ready at a specific time. One day ‘hare’ minute-hand scoots along as tho’ haring around the ‘milestone’ circle – but another day it may saunter as though half awake, and ‘tortoise’ hour-hand lies huddled in its shell.:

My childhood intro to time and different speeds!

Soon after starting my search for ‘truth’ when a young man, I read that time’s related to consciousness. So I noticed its measure may depend upon alertness.

Decades later and living at a more leisurely pace I notice this puzzles me. For example, in the bathroom I’m usually wide awake when swiping a razor around my face – rarely am I drowsy and, if needing to be on the move, I keep an eye on my watch as it sneakily heads for a deadline.

I’ve noticed differences on some days between how much I can get done in that early half-hour. Maybe my wrist-watch speeds up or down, or maybe it’s simply all down to my body-clock. Even so I’d agree with Justin Abrahams’ claim that, of its own nature, time does go at different speeds – maybe I get my own ‘time bubble’ in the bathroom! But I’d much prefer to learn the practicalities of his claim to having done a two-hour wash, wax and polish of his car in half an hour!!

After posting the first announcement about Justin’s podcast on engaging Time in February I found the timing of my listening to it was intriguing!

podomatic-justin-abraham-time2 My first attempt at listening on my phone failed to work. Not having done this on my phone before I found out later that the talk did download but I needed a better ‘ap’. Anyway, it was much better this way because it grabbed my attention when I was able to give it. Had it worked it would have distracted me from a personally relevant event at the conference I was going to.

At least a couple of aspects of what Justin teaches on that podcast were relevant to that event as well as to other recent things. First, I’m amused I’d been thinking of something from dim, distant days – “He who grieves most, grieves for wasted time”. It was one of many such quotations that had been used to prompt me to search seriously for the truth and meaning of life just before the famous Beatles turned into hippies and then got into transcendental mediation.

A Few Thoughts on ‘Time’

I hope anyone who followed my suggestion to listen to Justin’s podcast (here) didn’t find his excited assertions too daunting. Perhaps his approach is too ‘off-the-wall’ for some, yet his experiences and insights are worthy of due consideration and reflection.

Those of ‘glued-on’ adherence to the literal Bible text and fixed interpretation, according to whichever adopted translation is cleaved to, may have difficulty with his challenging but Biblically-based concepts. I very much like his familiarity with scientific concepts, from which most Christians shy away. It’s something I’d urge my brethren to get to grips with in order to marvel even more at Father’s handiwork.

Without being in any way dismissive, however, it would be interesting to see evidence for Justin’s claims regarding postage dates. Also, as above, I’m ambitious to clean, wax and polish the car in such an unexpected short time-span as he experienced for two! 🙂

I recalled what Charles Shamp taught on the prophet Daniel travelling in time and seeing the stars at Jesus’ birth, thus leaving instructions on what the Magi should look for in the sky and why (Supermoon Monday’s ‘blood moon’ and The Age to Come refers).

Bobby Conner – Time Disappeared

Also, I was reminded of what Bobby Conner said in Bath city about ten years ago. After returning from a trip, he phoned his wife Carolyn from the airport to let her know when to expect him home. It’s usually well over an hour’s journey, so his thoughts turned to the Lord whilst driving. Only twenty minutes later Bobby came to the junction for the road leading to their house – total time: under half hour! Huh?

Miraculous, or a tall story? And is it Biblical?? My overview Eternity and Prophecy refer to three examples in scripture of time having been distorted and broken. And remember…

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no-one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end…

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it, God does it, that man should fear before Him.

That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God seeks an account of what is pursued [so that history repeats itself – Amplified Bible]. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amp; 14-15 NKJV)

On engaging and governing Time – in the first 15 minutes…

Posted on Monday, 24 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Justin Paul Abraham (credit Gloryrevolution.net)

…examples of time ‘miracles’ and outlines on time travel, time ‘slices’, time ‘bubbles’ and bending of time popped up in Justin Abraham’s teaching upon Time (see introduction). My near transcription/notes of the first quarter hour is below – parentheses and emphases of topics are mine.

Now and then he jokes with his audience about getting their brains ‘fried’, BUT they’re in good company! It happens to experts too! Mathematicians and scientists continue to be puzzled over the profound paradoxes of quantum physics. Phil Mason opens chapter three ‘Time and the Quantum’ of his book Quantum Glory (2010) as follows.:

A number of scientists who are kept awake at night perplexed by the counter-intuitive world of quantum mechanics have devised additional experiments in order to probe more deeply the bizarre attributes of the sub-atomic world…we need to note that these additional discoveries will totally mess with our heads concerning the nature of time itself…a significant key to understanding the quantum enigma hinges upon the issue of time as it relates to quantum space.

Justin relates Biblical prophecies to the science of relativity and quantum physics but first sets the scene to his in-depth lecture with scriptural backing. (Hence my inserting the full text of Ephesians 5:16 after Lion Bites’ Heavenly Time-Management in A prophetic word from God about Time….). So let’s dig in…

His teaching is based upon his recent course material on ‘new creation’ plus personal and others’ experience (eg his wife Rachel, Ian Clayton, Milly Bennitt – as here, here and here – and on facebook). Claiming this session will be very helpful and change our lives (as with his family), Justin begins,

“This is a truth for our generation, because the Bible says, ‘Redeem the times…’ (Eph 5:16-17). So we can redeem time…’Redeem’ means to take (back) power from another…

“You, the ecclesia (church) are to govern – so is time governing you or are you governing time? ‘cos time is a substance!…When you ask someone what time is, not many people know what time is because we’re passing through it.

“Everybody used to think since Newton’s era that all of us are all in the same time at the same time and that time’s the same everywhere…what Einstein found was that time is relative, that time exists only for you as a person.

“He said the perception of past, present and future is “a stubbornly persistent illusion!” So have you ever been in a moment where you’re having a brilliant day but someone’s having a wasted day? So – they’re in a different time!

“It’s a different time on another planet to what it is here ‘cos it depends on your definition of time what time it is…Let’s say you’re on another planet around another sun, what time would it be? How would you define time there?

“I didn’t know time isn’t moving at the same time everywhere…(refers to film ‘Interstellar’ as illustrating how time works.) Basically, time’s a stretchy fabric and you can shape time and stretch it so that we can do anything in time – time can bend – it’s a substance called the 4th dimension (space being the 3rd).

“Time is actually a substance that we can redeem the power of.

“Now in the Beginning Adam was in Eden and there he had what I call ‘rich’ time – there was no sweat, he was energised and everything’s done in rest and ease…So we’re meant to live out of Eden where there’s enough time to do what you need to do.

“So can time be stretched so you do in one hour what’s normally done in two? Can time be bent? Can time be stopped? Can you step out of time? These are what I want to look at…

“Your brain might already be frying but you need to learn about it, because everyone in this room’s got a relationship with time!

“What I want to do in this session is redefine your relationship with time so it becomes our servant and you govern time so it always works for you – and you have time miracles!!

(Justin claims to have had some ‘crazy’ time miracles since the Lord started teaching him about time but cites three, two of which Royal Mail time stamps are empirical evidence. – where somethings were sent and stamped as from the future but manifested before that in the recipient’s ‘present’ time – ie. had already been done beforehand, yet proven to come from the future and the goods thus obtained before the causative action!

He says that news was posted on facebook and someone in the Royal Mail replied it’s a miracle because “the whole system is based upon those time-stamps”! Also, another’s response was that since childhood the Lord had allowed them to travel in time and see events. This reminds me of the Chinese street urchins who’d seen events recorded in the Bible before they’d heard about them: see Visions Beyond the Veil – God’s Revelation to Children of Heaven and Hel l by H.A. Baker.)

“It came from an encounter in heaven where I realised everyone arrived on time, although going at different speeds (gives example) – in the Kingdom time will fit what you want it to fit! The time doesn’t rule you, it expands depending upon how much space you need.

“The Bible says, ‘See that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil’ (Eph 5:16)– ie. the days are ‘evil’, so since Eden we’re in ‘poor’ time…(As no-one else knew about this Justin invented his own terms for different kinds of time, and because…)

“The Lord’s been teaching me about time and showing me how different types of time can be in the same room…Ian Clayton would say to me “It’s strange: I’m getting a day’s work done in an hour now!”…I don’t understand it!

“It’s interesting when you have a time bubble someone can walk past you and not see it happening. (Cites personal examples of poor-time and rich-time distortion where energy is not lost.)

“If any man is IN Christ he is a new creation (2 Cor 5:17 and cf: Ian Cayton’s excellent teaching on what ‘in’ means: ie. ‘IN’: fully within Jesus’ whole being.) So you’re not from here, you’re not ‘terran’ as the earth’s going to pass away and you can’t define yourself as being from here…you’re born from above!

“God is looking for us to reveal Him, to become Sons so that we mirror Him in His divine essence – as we’ve born the image of earthly, so now we shall bear image of heavenly man. Now, if you’re in Him and He’s in you, what’s God’s relationship to time? He’s The Beginning and The End, the Alpha and Omega and He exists beyond time.

“It’s really interesting, all of time has already happened (according to science). So time in this era looks like a funnel post-Big Bang and then it’s made of ‘slices’ called space-time, which is like a loaf of bread! All of those slices already exist – all you’re doing is passing through your perception of where in the slice you are.

“This is why Moses could go back (to Creation); this is why John could go forwards (to see the New Jerusalem)…why David could pull the future into the past and have David’s Tent, which was the future era…why John could go right to the End and check a different time…why Isaiah could move forward in the timeline and say a virgin would give birth, and the suffering servant, the glory would come and that the earth will be transformed…

“So space-time exists and God’s in time and honours time and regards time as precious. The reason He invented it is so everything happens in its own space – that’s why we have space-time, time is not separate from space. They’re a grid we exist in, The reason He invented it is to allow, and we can enjoy, the richness of the moment – the alternative is that everything happens at the same time! – I know that’s strange to understand.

“God allows time but we’re not meant to be defined or limited by time – so we’re meant to know the times and seasons but it’s not about knowing which slice of time you’re in but of knowing The (appointed) Times, The Seasons…it’s about knowing where we are in the strand of DNA (spiral nature) that goes through time – the divine strand, the golden strand – knowing your place within it and your context within it and your relationship with time.

“So, we’re meant have an interesting relationship with it, to ‘taste the power of the Age to Come‘ – it’s a bigger creation than we’re in now and…it goes out like that (pointing)… we’re meant to ‘Taste’ of the power of the Age to Come, which means we pull from out of another creation (dimension?) backwards, which means time bleeds back.

“In Newton’s time we thought time was a river only going one way – we now know through quantum physics time it’s not going one way, it goes both ways (backwards and forwards) – it’s our perception of it that’s going one way! (Eg looking through telescope at light, that light in the past ‘knows’ you’re going to look at it and so it collapses.)

“If you didn’t look at it it would just be a wave pattern, but it ‘knew’ in the past that you were going to do it!! So you’re looking at something changes the past!!

“I know that’s hard to accept but I’m teaching quantum physics here but it’s the truth – it’s called ‘the observer effect‘ – you collapse wave patterns into photons (strictly speaking – photons into waves or else particles, depending upon methodology; even if experimentally delayed!!) by observing them BUT it goes back into the past! (see glossary in introductory post).

“So you’re already distorting time. When prophesying you’re decreeing the future shaping earth around the future – you’re future gazing! You’re answering the ‘phone call’ (Jer 33:3) into the future, your tasting the power of the Age to Come! It’s interesting as we approach that changeover more of its bleeding back. So we had little bits of ‘bleed-back’ – like Enoch …who completed ‘the ring’ for he lived out of the End at the Beginning. Same with John… as you approach that Age, the mount of bleed-back gets thicker.

“In other words, where it says in scripture that ‘heaven is drawing nigh’ – so when David had the Holy Spirit before Acts 2 (Holy Spirit coming in power upon Jesus’ disciples) he pulled out of the future and put it in his own time…he already had the Holy Spirit in the past even though He hadn’t been given – which means you can choose which time-slice you live out of.

“SO which era of Christianity, or Son-ship, are you from?

“This is how I bend time and change stuff around me: I’ve decided that I refuse to live in the time that I’m in! The heroes of the faith did not live in their own time…Elijah, Cuthbert, Columba, (mystic leaders of the Celtic Church)…Enoch lived out of a different time.

“Enoch went back into Eden before the cross had happened, because it had already happened, because Jesus was crucified before – outside of time! All of time’s encoded with the record of the Crucifixion because it happened before the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8). This is why the seven spirits (Isa 11:2) look omnipresent…

“If you think of this as a box called ‘The Beginning’ and then this bit outside it is ‘the before’. So there’s ‘The Beginning’ and ‘The Before’ …In the beginning, that’s when God created Wisdom and the other spirits (Isa 11:2), they exist there and that’s why they seem omnipresent, because they’re actually from a bigger dimension – but which dimension are you from?

“This is where it gets really interesting – that we were hidden in God in the Before the Beginning – so we actually exist as He is…This is why angels are different to us – they may be in different times depending on where they are in Creation…

“For example: as time’s like a fishing net and if you put a tennis ball in it the net wouldn’t be pulled much – that’s what gravity does. It bends time just a little bit like a light planet such as the moon, a heavy planet pulls the net and makes the days longer. So depending on which planet you live on, the days are a different length…(further explanation)

“So how do we move in time? As we spread into the Cosmos how will we define time?

“Remember all of Creation’s waiting for us (as Sons of God – Rom 8:19-22) which means, whether we accept this or not, earth’s just our cradle…where our infancy happened. We’ve got a Cosmic Mandate – ALL of Creation is waiting for the revelation of your Son-ship to free it from decay..(talks about immensity of the galactic ‘deep field’).

“I think God wants us to grow up! – He wants to be the definition – He’s the Chronometer -(NB: confirmation from Lion Bites prophetic word on Heavenly Time Management – which started this series!) – we come from Zion!

“The thing is, we’re all quantumly entangled into Him! This means we’re in Him and we exist in Him even though we exist here – that is where ground zero is for me….we don’t define ourselves by times or season because that’s to say the sun and moon govern us and we can only go as far as the headship we’re under. So do you define yourselves by them and want them, their influence, to be the governing body for you?

“And so God said to me,

“It’s time to master Time!”

Justin checked the meaning of ‘mastery’, diligently learned about the subject and noted, “Daniel saw that the antichrist, or the spirit that’s against the anointing of Christ, shall intend to change the set times and laws” (Dan 7:25). He then disclosed that,

“The first time I spoke about this I felt so bad I’d spoken on it that I sat down and said, ‘Lord I’m sorry, I must have gone too far’.

“And the Lord said, ‘If you don’t manage it, someone else will’.”

To hear what Justin says next listen to podcast at Podmatic/CoBH – Time.

On engaging and governing Time – introduction

Posted on Saturday, 22 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Our consideration of the convergence of scripture and modern science begins with this expanded version of a post published on 18 February 2016. We’ll learn how the theories of relativity and quantum physics – under-girded by the ‘queen of sciences’, mathematics – may match the supra-natural nature of God’s word in the holy Bible. Attention is drawn in particular to the important concept at the concluding section – last but not least!

This graphic is so apposite in view of my references to Time’s spiral nature, as in earlier posts on The Nature of Time and Eternity & Prophecy, as well as the mini-series on Time starting with Prophesy to 2014 and Talking to Time seems to work.

Most importantly I’d remind everyone that Jesus Christ is Lord of Time and so you may also like to read the prophetic word, “I Am The Lord Of Time”. Continue reading →

A prophetic word to physicists (2015)

Posted on Thursday, 20 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Published in January 2015, this kick-starts our consideration of science and scripture.:

Now and then upon hearing news of scientific discoveries and deeper understanding I’ve thought, “They’re catching up with scripture”. Hence my occasional posts and re-blogs on science (eg. yesterday’s Route to Reality). Jordan Gresczyk’s latest on As He Is…So Are We, therefore, sits well in my spirit as a prophetic word. He writes.:

‘I am not a Prophet and do not claim to operate or stand in that office but I do believe God speaks to His friends. So I feel prompted by the Lord to speak this Prophetic Word. I speak it in faith. Judge it according to the Spirit.

“God is going to open the eyes of the Physicists as He opened the eyes of the Magi. Both Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. Dimensions are being opened and Paradigm Shifts are coming. New wineskins. New unshrunk clothes. I see God wiping the chalkboard clean and giving new formulas and protocols. I see theories being molded by the Spirit into realities. I see these as Secrets being given to His friends in those fields. God is saying He will be known by His creation and He will be given honour and He will be worshiped.”

‘Again I am not a prophet and I do not claim to be. If this be from Him amen and if not, let it fall to the ground.’

Notes:

Readers wanting more should visit Science and Belief, a blog by Dr Ruth Bancewicz on the positive interactions between science and faith. She is the author of God in the Lab: How Science Enhances Faith, which has received many favourable endorsements from her scientific colleagues.

A prophetic word from God about time – and on time!

Posted on Monday, 17 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Upon returning home last Wednesday, as Nina rested after surgery, I caught up with email. That day’s from Glasgow Prophetic Centre was extraordinary! It’s not the first time they’re on target personally but the precision this time is breathtaking on several counts, as in my appended notes. First, the prophetic words.:

LION BITES: HEAVENLY TIME-MANAGEMENT

I hear the Spirit of the Lord say:

“I rule time and it is not to rule you!”

The Lord is breaking off a rulership that time – and lack of – have had over your life. And He is bringing a heavenly alignment into timekeeping, diaries, schedules, cycles and sleeping patterns.

No longer will your time be swallowed up by unfruitful activity, as God begins to align your life to heaven’s calendar! This will create time for you to begin to wholeheartedly pursue the call of God on your life – and with plenty of time to do so!

He says to you,

“Bring your time before me and let me show what I actually want you to do and what I don’t want you to do. Let Me tell you who I really want you to meet and who I really don’t want you to meet. Time will no longer be your enemy but instead it will now empower you to fulfil My purposes for your life on the earth.”

So, bring your calendars, your diaries, your phones and your schedules before God and let Him do some work with you today. Time is not to be your enemy but it is to be used by you and you will have the space to flourish.

Colossians 4:5 Behave wisely towards outsiders, making the best use of your time.

Now the topic of time has cropped up again it’s well to look at a literal rather than ‘dynamic’ translation of a couple of well-known verses. This will be important in the next few posts. The New King James Version and my study bible note reads:

Col 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time (‘kairos – opportune time, set time, appointed time, due time, definitive time, seasonable time, proper time for action. Kairos describes kind or quality of time, whereas chronos denotes extent or quantity of time’.)

Eph 5:16-17 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what he will of the Lord is. (‘Redeeming the time is capitalizing upon every opportunity’ – but one teacher offers an insight based upon the meaning of ‘redeemed’ as ‘Ga’al, the ancient custom of buying back something lost through helplessness, poverty or violence’: eg. Isaiah 52:9 where the Lord redeems Jerusalem.)

Also, Lindell Cooley’s Saturday morning message at CHP’s Autumn Glory Day’s on how to be led by the Holy Spirit – plus abiding in the Lord – gave more scriptural background to this Lion Bite.

Notes:

I was stunned by not only the content but also the timing of this word on aligning our activities with the Lord’s calendar because that very day’s events confirm it IN ADVANCE, as follows.:

Our usual daily routine had been changed to fit into the surgeon’s schedule plus the Lord’s help and comfort.
Our church had scheduled a full day’s prayer cover in half-hour slots by various brethren.
In view of my recent comments on time in a scientific blog I took the opportunity, whilst waiting for Nina’s return from surgery, to listen to Justin Abraham’s cutting-edge teaching On Engaging Time [2-part blog: Introduction & In 1st 15 Minutes].
The heart of that deep instruction is succinctly summarised by this Lion Bite email.

An amazing God-incidence! I doubt it may have made such a deep impact had I checked email by phone whilst in the hospital’s cafe. So the Lord well-knew our day and lined it up with His dairy – praise Jesus that You are the Lord of Time.

ProphecyTodayUK: ‘Brexit Battles Begin’

Posted on Saturday, 15 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Managing editor of ProphecyTodayUK, Frances Rabbits encourages comments upon and sharing the website’s articles, and she opens her weekly email update as follows,

‘As anti-Brexit rhetoric streams from the mainstream media and anti-Israel rhetoric gushes from the UN, there has never been a more important time to stand up for truth – clearly, courageously and without compromise.

I hope that our articles this week are a help to you, in praying and living with understanding of these significant days. In particular, we would like to encourage all our readers to keep praying over the Brexit process – for the enemy loves to try to thwart the plans of the Lord.’

Read about anti-democratic activity and anti-God purposes proposed for Parliament and the necessity for Christians to continue praying in Brexit Battles Begin. Friends have informed me in recent months of dreams and visions of serious damage being done to the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben clock tower, all indicative of the current struggles.

This timing is particularly interesting in view of the timing as forecast by Dr Sharon Stone THREE years ago this month (re-visited in Fulfilled Prophecy #8: part 3 – Timing, Purpose and Outcome of Britain’s Spiritual Battle) and as foreseen over the ‘pond’ by Mena Lee Grebin within a 40-day time frame of 5th September (thank you Nick). See Z3news for details in Sudden Change Coming to the Untied Kingdom!.

A ‘pop-out truth’ about the Trump vs. Clinton debates

Posted on Tuesday, 11 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

It was out of my mouth before I could even think.:

“Maybe he’s the only one who’s got the guts, male strength and determination to stand like a bull against the on-going destruction of America!”

I’d flipped the tv to hear Channel 4 News headlines whilst clearing up after dinner. So we just caught a few seconds of the latest presidential debate before switching off and deal with dishes but heard Trump’s retort about jailing Clinton (re her misdemeanours?). Nina expressed her disdain for both contenders’ character but – without thinking of what to say – out popped my quick response, as above.

We’re not politically partisan but, like many brothers and sisters, would prefer a Christian of strong faith to be a contender for the presidency. So it was good to see the CBN video clip of Mike Pence’s anti-abortion stance posted on Veronika West’s Facebook (5 Oct).

My quick quip was mindful of her many visionary warnings for the USA, and of what I’d only scan-read earlier that day. That is of the Lord telling Lana Vawser in Oz about the lack of discernment in Christians over what’s going on behind the scenes as well as in the spiritual realm, and especially His heart and intentions for the USA.. According to Lana, Jesus has a stern warning to believers:

“My people that are not pressing in for discernment, to hear My heart concerning the US election and who I have anointed for the next Presidential Term, will be brought to a place right now in this season where they will be blinded by deception. This army that is about to be released into the body of Christ in the USA are coming to blind people to the truth that I have anointed Donald Trump and Mike Pence and the people of God need to hear this so that they keep pressing in for discernment despite what the media and the ‘natural world’ says. Things are going to continue to escalate and pressure intensify to push Donald Trump out, but My people need to take their place and stand with Me to see My purposes come to fruition.”

Just before the encounter Lana was ‘standing in what looked like a “commission room” in hell and so much darkness around. I saw the enemy and he was about to release a horde of demons upon the earth into the United States with a specific target against believers.   What I noticed about these demonic spirits was that they had blindfolds in their hands and they were ready to “move”.    I asked Jesus what these demonic spirits were and he said that they were “spirits of deception”.  ’

Therefore, I recommend reading and weighing her full account of An Encounter With Jesus Concerning the US Election and Donald Trump.

Update: Lance Wallnau adds several valid points in this video-clip (thanks Caroline):

For Trump’s attitude to Israel see John Kilpatrick: Apolitical prophecy in His Presence

Consider also Dr Clifford Hill’s analysis and wise guidance for our prayers: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Therein, he refers to the Sovereignty of God and reminds us of his appointing Cyrus as king in order to implement His purposes for His people.

Also, in a Prophetic Bulletin issued in March Rick Joyner makes many telling points when considering the pros and cons in Is Trump the One? (Thank you Peter Allman.)

Last but not least, thank you to those readers in the States who’ve written to me about their dreams and visions on the next President of the United States. We’ll soon know if they’re accurate.

Anointed in a new way for a new day and spiritual battle

Posted on Saturday, 8 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Yesterday’s illustrated word published by Veronika West of Ignite Ireland Ministry well reinforces what Dr Sharon Stone and Chuck Pierce received in late August, as in my previous post (NB: videos not available after Mon 10th Oct!). Be mightily blessed as you join with Veronika’s prophetic decree:

IN THIS SEASON GOD HAS ANOINTED US TO WAR IN A NEW WAY FOR A NEW DAY IS NOW UPON US!

I prophesy, the Spirit of God says,

“In this season I am releasing a new and unprecedented level and dimension of Faith, Hope and Expectation over My people, they shall not be moved or motivated by fear, they shall not be intimidated, limited or confined by the powers darkness, chaos or confusion that are round about them. LONG ENOUGH! have My people lived as if they were second class citizens powerless, ineffective and impotent going around and around in circles being unable to take back what the enemy has stolen from them. Watch! For NOW My Spirit is moving in a different direction and with greater power and acceleration over the earth. In this season I have called and anointed My people to wage war in a new way, for it will not be by might nor by power but by My Spirit that they shall overcome. Watch! I am raising up a mighty army of Overcomer’s and just like the army of Gideon My Warriors shall fight fueled and filled with the spirit of Might, Power, Strength, Knowledge, Revelation, Understanding and the Fear of the Lord. Watch! For even now I am rearming My people and unveiling new weapons in the midst of increased warfare, I am releasing greater kingdom strategy giving them full advantage over the enemy of fear, destruction and death that has come against My people in this hour”, says God.

“Fear not! for those that are fully surrendered and fully dependent upon Me and My prevailing power shall now taste and see Victory over defeat in the land of the living”.

DECREE; IN THIS HOUR I AM READY, PREPARED AND RIGHTLY POSITIONED TO WAGE WAR IN A NEW WAY, FOR MY WEAPONS ARE NOT CARNAL BUT POWERFUL TO THE PULLING DOWN OF EVERY STRONGHOLD OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS IN MY LAND.

I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR ARMED WITH THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT, POWER, STRENGTH, WISDOM, REVELATION, UNDERSTANDING AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD. My destination has changed from being in a place of Hopelessness and defeat to now walking in Expectation and Anticipation for Radical Restoration, Redemption and Great Victory. In the midst of this intense battle I will not retreat or shrink back, I will not be half-hearted, compromising or passive, BUT I will RISE UP and become as the Violent that will take the Kingdom by force, I am a mighty conqueror through Christ who enables, empowers and equips me to do ALL THINGS. Satan and his demons are afraid of the power of God that is at work in me, YES, they turn and run in fear, fleeing in 1000 different directions.

I am confident not in my own ability, strength or wisdom but in the Lord of the Angel Armies who fights for me. His Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation has given me access and understanding of how the enemy is moving and advancing, I Know his tactics even the hidden schemes and plots of the enemy, nothing is concealed or unrevealed, I am fully awake and activated to Wage war effectively and overcome my enemies.

I Know and I am assured that the Lord Sabaoth goes before me in this hour, I am confident that the outcome of every battle I face has already been settled in the heavenly realm, I WIN!!! MY DELIVERANCE AND VICTORY IS ASSURED.

The boundaries lines around my life have fallen for me in pleasant places, only the GOODNESS AND MERCY OF THE LORD SHALL FOLLOW ME. I am always in a state of Readiness, I am always Alert and Armed against the enemies tactics and activities. I am a Watchman on the wall, I am always full of High Praises, therefore my life is protected and preserved by the Fire of His Glory and Grace.

Today I choose to Declare to the spirit realm, that no matter what situation or circumstance I am faced with in this hour, this is not a setback for me but rather a divine setup for me to receiving and experiencing the greatest Breakthrough in my life. I AM ADVANCING WITH THE TASTE OF VICTORY IN MY MOUTH.

WARRIORS, I want to remind you all that the devil is a defeated foe, his end is very near and his time is very short, soon and very soon he shall be vanquished and we shall SEE THE LORD OF GLORY LIFTED HIGH AND MAGNIFIED ABOVE ALL THE EARTH.

Selah!

Dr Sharon Stone: New Year 5777 (2016-2017) – the Sword of the Lord will arise

Posted on Thursday, 6 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

“Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come”. (Jer 33.3 NLT)

At an international gathering of prophets in Windsor, Berkshire, on 3rd September Rev Dr Stone gave attendees a heads-up on this new Hebraic Year 5777, ie. a month before it began on Rosh Hashanah at sundown last Sunday (2nd October 2016).

PART 1: Words & Numbers

Sharon’s purpose in providing an early analysis and report is to enable us to understand this new season, thereby aligning and positioning ourselves to receive the great blessing of what’s coming. Knowing what’s in our future gives us momentum to bring it into the present.

Her opening instruction stresses the importance of getting a ‘NOW’ word from the Lord;

“For those who don’t understand why we need a ‘now‘ word; as soon as I know what the Spirit of God is doing I align myself with that. I put my eyes where His are, I put my heart where His is, I put my hand where His is, I put my feet where I see He’s focused and I’m in a place of such great blessing, opportunity and advancement because I’ve not had to struggle to do that. It’s being in the right place at the right time – and that’s my prayer for each one of you.”

The pictorial characters of the Hebrew alphabet are not only of linguistic use and meaning but, like ancient Greek, also have a numerical value by virtue of their place in the alphabet, and some represent larger numbers in multiple of ten and of hundred. Thus, rich layers of meaning may be found within these letters and correspondingly within holy scripture.

Ayin

She explains 5700 means ‘may this be the year of…’ and we’re in the decade of the 70, which is represented by letter ‘ayin’ or a pair of eyes (pictographically).

“So in every year of this decade we come to a new place of enlightenment for the church in different arenas – but it also means personally that your eyes are being opened up! Your (spiritual) vision is becoming more clear (and your getting) details of a strategy rather than an overview.

“By the end of this decade you need to expect that the prophetic has been increased in the midst of you…and you can go from one level to the next level in a greater way and a faster way than you could at any time before…At this time the Spirit of God is giving me two scriptures for this season we’re in.”

Sharon then speaks in-depth on Jeremiah 33.3, as quoted above about this remarkable season where the Lord’s putting a hunger in us for knowing about things to come. Next she expounds upon Isaiah 42:16 as another key pertinent to our prophetic eyesight:

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known. Along paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them and I will make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do and I will not forsake them”.

Meaning of 777

It seems God’s favorite number is 7, especially in the Book of Revelation, and this year’s number has 3! Number 7 means perfect, complete, and when something’s mentioned three times in scripture it’s for emphasis.

777 is ‘divine – divine – divine’ or completion of perfection. Therefore, Sharon is hearing the the Lord say to her that over-longstanding issues and delayed promises are about to be finished and completed, and Holy Spirit will enable us to become overcomers.

So in this season of bringing to completion, or perfection, God’s giving us opportunities to learn and overcome and gain victories by which we can testify as overcomers.

During this time of perfected completion many will see a finished manifestation, especially for incomplete personal deliverance and for lengthy healing processes, these will come to completion and finish so that we can move on.

PART 2: Dream of Weapons

Sharon recounts a dream of a week or so earlier of being in a museum and seeing many Medieval weapons. Just before the end, her attention is drawn to “a very strong sword; a broad two-edged sword but it’s hilt had a crown that covered the hand”.

Upon telling husband Greg about the dream and about 5777 he told her to see what he’d emailed her about Chuck Pierce’s Head of the Year 5777 gathering that, “has on the front of it a picture of a sword with a crown on top – isn’t that incredible!”

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

Sharon explains its direct relevance to the 7th letter Hebrew ‘zayin’ which is written like a sword with a crown on top (footnote’s link refers). As a sword means ‘war’ and being in a ‘zayin’ season we have to prepare for war and battle.

THE SWORD OF THE LORD WILL ARISE

Sharon continues by delivering an important prophetic word: “The Spirit of the Lord says,

“Surely I am in this season putting out a call to arms. My sword – the Sword of the Lord – will arise”, but the Lord says, “Also, the sword of the enemy will arise at this time.”

But the Lord says, “Nations will behold not only My wisdom but, My sons and daughters, the nations will behold My severity also.”

And the Lord says, “You will come to be one that no longer runs from spiritual warfare but you will realise that you are in a season” He says, “where I am unveiling new strategies.”

And the Lord says, “But just like in Gideon’s day there was a winnowing down of the troops until I had a people that I could operate through”, and the Spirit of the Lord says, “in this nation and in many other nations of the earth there has been a shifting in the prayer movement, there has been a shifting in the prophetic, there has been a dispersing and a going back home, and there has been a remnant that has arisen”, says the Lord.

And the Lord says that, “I declare even over the UK – (and globally in the nations, offers Sharon) – now there is going to be a Gideon army coming together” and the Lord says that, “The reason for My Gideon army is not because I despise revival and harvest – I don’t want the many saved? No, the reason I’m going to raise a Gideon army is I’m going to cause you to know My Power” says the Lord, “So it’s not going to be by your strength, by your power”, says the Lord, “but it’s going to be by My strength and My power and my Spirit.”

And the Lord says that, “You will see Me as the Lord Sabaoth – the One leading His troops forward”, but the Spirit of the Lord says, “Where many expect Me to lift up My standard that you might follow” the Spirit of God says, “YOU are going to be My standard in the earth”, says God and the Lord says, “I will cause others to see your great exploits.”

And the Lord says, “You have all been in Kingdom conflict” but the Lord says, “This is different from yesterday for now you are in armed conflict”, for the Lord says, “I am giving you, furnishing you even with new weapons, weapons for a battle for victory” says God, “I will fight not simply because you are a warrior but because of your love for Me, your love for others and your love for the land that will motivate you.”

And the Lord says that, “You will wage war (look at this play on words), you will wage war and I will release back to you your stolen wages and it will be a financial season of the power in you as well.”

And the Lord says, “The armed robber needed an armed guard to deal with him, but I’m releasing you even as an armed guard in the earth!” says your Father.

Sharon then mentions a sister had told her about a similar vision in the previous week that made her understood new weaponry would be released at the gathering.

Footnote: Hebrew for Christians website is most illuminating about Letter Zayin, especially in connection with time, viz: “since Zayin represents both the number 7 and a sword it is not surprising that it is used to divide or “cut up” time into units of sevens” (!!)

A ‘God-incidental’ word for UK and email on PM May

Posted on Wednesday, 5 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

Surely the Lord must have arranged for two items ‘coincidentally’ in my in-tray today. They’re from separate sources but their contents are connected and thus stress in my spirit their import. AND it strongly resonates with the content of my post 7th April: The Four Faces of God and Unity:

First, take especial note of what Father’s House of Prayer intercessor Lynne describes in her email sent last night:

“…I was watching the news and Theresa May came on at the [Conservative Party’s annual] conference and I hadn’t realised it was being held at the NIA in Birmingham. What came to me is they are in the same room that the WPC Trumpet Call is held in and it’s also the site of the Old Bingley Hall and when they demolished it they found wheelchairs, leg braces, crutches etc., in the cellar from the days of George Jeffreys visits to Birmingham in the 50’s. …I also remember that on the day of the referendum I had decided come what may I was going to the WPC because…I’d never been able to go to their premises. Anyway, when I got off the train at the revamped New Street Station, now known as Central Station, and started to walk into the new dome part, I was stopped in my tracks! – I could feel the Holy Spirit. The only way I can describe it is whirling and swirling around, never ever experienced anything like that it my life.

“And I’m just thinking of the prayers offered in that place and in the WPC also about Father saying in one of the prophecies that Birmingham was the heart of prayer. Might not be anything but it just keeps coming.”

[NIA is the National Indoor Arena – for information on WPC click World Prayer Centre.]

Secondly, yesterday’s Facebook posting by seer Veronika West of this exceptionally powerful and encouraging vision:

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM!

“DAUGHTER WATCH! AS MY 7 SPIRITS BEGIN TO MOVE MIGHTILY, STRATEGICALLY AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY IN THE NEXT 7 MONTHS UPON THERESA MAY, FOR I AM BRINGING TO FULLNESS, COMPLETION AND PERFECTION MY KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES UPON THE 7 MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE IN THIS NATION”, says God.

On hearing these words, I saw a divine visitation and a divine encounter taking place in the life of Theresa May, the next 7 months will not only be a life-changing 7 months for Theresa May personally and spiritually but it will be a key time and a crucial time prophetically for us as a Nation.

THINGS ARE ABOUT TO BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT, GOD IS ABOUT TO REVEAL HIS GLORY AND POWER IN A NEW WAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

In the next 7 months as a Nation we are going to see the 7 Spirits of God begin to move mightily and suddenly upon the 7 mountains of Influence in the land, there will be such an acceleration and momentum taking place in the realms of the spirit that it will cause a mighty shifting and shaking to take place especially over the mountain of Government, Religion and Family, I hear these words, “A Special Forces Army of Mighty Awakeners and Reformers are now emerging and advancing in greater power and authority over the 7 mountains of influence, not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit you shall reclaim what has been stolen, recover what has been lost and revive what has been dead, as My Special Forces Army you shall rebuild the ancient ruins, pursue and overtake your enemies, overturn and overthrow every stronghold and throne of darkness, you shall occupy new ground and establish My Kingdom purposes of in the land”.

I Prophesy Over the next 7 months we will see the 7 Spirits of God moving in an unprecedented and unexpected way in our Nation, we will see and feel the tangible Power of His Glory gaining even greater momentum and acceleration over every sphere of influence, there will be a sudden manifestation of even greater Signs, Wonders and Miracles that will be birthed right across this Great Nation.

I Decree, In this next 7 months many in the body Christ in this Nation will begin to receive a new level and a new dimension of supernatural sight, divine wisdom, kingdom strategy and supernatural revelation. BE EXPECTANT AND BE READY? For God is releasing a finishers anointing for mighty Breakthrough in this hour and season, His Image Bearers are being freshly empowered and enabled to stand steadfast and strong against the powers of increasing darkness, I believe the hand of God is bringing to fullness and completion in this season what He started in the last season, and those that have been living in isolation and in the darkness of the caves shall suddenly Arise, Shine and go forth to reflect the true light, likeness, life and Power of the King of Glory, and like a moth to a flame those that have been living in deep darkness will suddenly see a great light and they will be drawn out and delivered from the pit of death and destruction. We will See and Testify to the Spirit of Truth removing the scales that have blinded many to their true Identity and Kingdom Destiny in this Nation, true Sonship is now being birthed.

Watch! For In the next 7 months many will see the Unquenchable Fires of God sweeping across our Nation, many will hear the sound of mighty rushing waters as the Rivers of Life and Liberty flow forth from their bellies upon a dry and parched land, many will see great mountains being Levelled and deep valleys being filled, many will feel the mighty Winds of His Resurrection Power beginning to blow upon the dry bones in this Nation, many will feel and experience the breath of Heaven breathing new life and new vision over that which has laid spiritually dormant and decayed.

Here below is a word I posted exactly 7 months ago I feel it is significant for the season we have now entered into as a Nation.: Continue reading →

Lana Vawser: Rosh Hashana 5777 – I saw Jesus coming with a sword in His hand

Posted on Monday, 3 October, 2016 by Richard Barker

LanaVawser ‘As I spent time with Jesus today as Rosh Hashanah is upon us. I had a vision where I saw Jesus coming into the lives of believers and He was dressed as a warrior and had a HUGE SWORD in His hand.

“The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name” (Exodus 15:3)

‘He moved towards God’s people with such intentionality and victory. Each one of His steps was like the most skilled of warriors. His eyes FULL OF FIRE!!! As He moved towards God’s people He was wielding His sword back and forth. Every move SO precise. Every move made with perfect intention. The sense surrounded me that the Lord has been working deeply in the hearts and souls of His people in the last month, digging at roots and areas of demonic assault, all preparation for what He was about to do…’ continue reading on Lana’s blog

England

Posted on Friday, 30 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

Originally posted on 24th May 2014 this prophetic vision is now featured on the home page in view of June’s successful referendum for Britain to leave the EU:

Fantastic! Thank you Lord for this blessing to my friend Tony in Tucson. A later post refers to a similar picture on a card for guests at the previous year’s Christmas breakfast, where my wife had brought a message: On The Majesty of His Majesty, King of Kings.

My Dreams and Visions

I saw in a vision 05/23/2014, the country of England rise up but not completely out of the water, it seemed to become more prominent than it had before. I saw a crown above the country sort of like the one pictured below but instead this one was covered with what looked like diamonds and light seemed to be radiating from the crown as it hovered over the country and giving that same light to the country.

Prophetic words on Britain and the EU’s demise cont’d

Posted on Tuesday, 20 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

To continue on the double ‘coincidence’ of receiving a ‘joint message’ on the two themes on which I’d published a blog: first, the last night of the Proms – secondly, my recollection of the word received by one of those parties on the demise of the EU.:

News of expected stiff opposition to Brexit at the weekend’s summit of EU chieftains in Bratislava was ludicrous in view of national divisions and deep disquiet within the Union. In addition, there are several prophecies over many years about the Lord’s desire for Britain to get out of the EU whilst the going’s good. (See 16 prophecies listed here.)

In particular, I was minded of the very clear statement received by David Noakes last November and which some enthusiastic prophecy-buffs may have seized upon to the consternation of one of my cyber-friends. Nevertheless, being addressed to “Nation of Britain” it’s highly relevant and the pertinent part reads:

“…Rather than rely on Me and my faithfulness to you, you chose, for worldly purposes, to join yourself to an institution which has denied my Name and refused to acknowledge Me in its councils. My fierce anger is upon that institution on account of its rebellion, its defiant rejection of me and its hardness of heart towards my ancient people Israel.

“I warn you now that the European institution will not repent, even though I bring disaster and destruction upon it. I urge you, O Britain still beloved by Me for the sake of your godly forefathers, come out of her, so that you may not be caught up in that same destruction, for I am even now arising in judgment to bring to nothing what she has sought to achieve. If you will separate yourself from her declared rejection of God, I will have mercy upon you and restore my hand of protection; and I will use you once again to bring light to many lost in the darkness which is now steadily increasing.

“Hear Me, O once godly nation and respond to my call, or you also will come to ruin in that same judgment of destruction. This is not my will for you, but you must choose the course which you will take. I urge you to respond to Me and choose life under my hand of discipline and protection, rather than death in the disaster which is even now coming upon Europe.” (UK/EU in/out #4: Prophetic Warning Urges “Come Out!”)

And so I was musing upon that theme and how current events will be affected by God’s plans and actions. Therefore, I was stunned to be updated only hours later! Clifford Hill introduces the new message on what the Lord’s about to do in Britain and our need to be encouraged, whilst bringing expected disaster upon the EU, as follows.:

BRITAIN AT THE CROSSROADS (From A Prophetic Word To Britain)

C Hill 163835 ‘Today Britain is at the crossroads! We are a nation under judgement. We crossed a red line when we defied the God of Creation who made us in his own image – male and female – and we dared to redefine marriage, despising the beautiful love relationship that God intended for his people. Forty years ago we joined ourselves in a pact with European nations driven by humanist values and infiltrated by Satanists. They seek to live in unity and peace but are doomed to failure by their rejection of the Prince of Peace.

‘God has mercifully given to Britain the chance of deliverance from the marriage with the European Union and the opportunity to forge a new role in the world under his blessing. This could be a sign and powerful witness to the nations of the rewards that are open to all who seek a right relationship with God and are prepared to love and obey him.

‘There are many in Britain today who are fearful of the future because they lack understanding of the word of God and lack faith in the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many churchgoers who share that fear because they too have never really learned to recognise the word of the Lord as the sheep recognise the voice of their own Shepherd. But God is loving and merciful and he has a word for those who are anxious about the future since the vote to leave the EU. My friend and colleague David Noakes and I have worked together in the prophetic Ministry since the early 1980s. David received a word this week which I commend to all our readers.

‘Please read it prayerfully and weigh it carefully. I think it may bring you a blessing.’

A WORD OF PROPHECY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE BREXIT VOTE

“Beloved, you who are called by My Name, I want to say to you in these days, when there is confusion and turmoil and upheaval: Do not be alarmed or concerned, for I am fully in control. I have brought about these circumstances, and my adversary is full of rage, and would like to oppose and if possible, to undo, that which I have done.

“My word to you is that I have done a good work, but I call upon you who are faithful to stand firm and to persevere in prayer that the work which I have begun will proceed to the conclusion which I have purposed. The task is far from complete and it is not a time for complacency, so be vigilant and continue to pray that I will complete the work. It will not be a short or an easy battle, so have courage and do not be tempted to lose heart.

“Have gentle hearts towards those who are confused and upset and distressed. There are those who feel that the nation is being thrown into exile, and this is causing them to feel afraid and angry, but they do not know that it is I who have brought this about. But I say that this seeming exile is in order to preserve you. You in Britain are like the good figs who were taken into exile before judgment fell (Jeremiah 24).

“There will be great darkness and upheaval in the European institution; but I have done this in your nation at this time in order to preserve you.

“Therefore, look up and be greatly encouraged, because out of this time of turmoil and upheaval will come great opportunity. Those of you who are committed to me I will uphold, I will protect, and I will send upon you a new outpouring of My Spirit, that you may speak My word in Spirit and in Truth; and My Spirit will bear witness to it and it shall bring forth fruit.

“I do not say that your whole nation will turn to Me, for that will not be the case; but beloved, I will bring multitudes into a valley of decision and many will turn to Me, for despite the apostasy which has gripped the nation, I have not failed to love the nation of Britain, and in My grace and mercy, I will continue to pour My love upon you, even though you have angered Me greatly.

“Take heart, be encouraged and look up. I will walk with you through the time of turmoil and upheaval. There will be those who will hate you for the testimony you will give, but I will cause many to repent and acknowledge that what you say is truth; for beloved, My people have been failed by many who now lead them, but I am come as the great Shepherd of the sheep. I want to recover My people and to gather many others into My sheepfold.

“Therefore be of good heart, and be afraid of nothing, for in the events of these times I am fully involved, and I will walk with you, every one of you, on every step of the uncharted path which lies ahead.

David Noakes 11th Sept 2016

Notes:

Jeremiah reference is most informative and I realised later that the EU’s strong anti-Israel stance is another reason for the Lord’s detestation of that institution.
Prophecies of the EU’s collapse aren’t the sole province of Christians but secular experts have predicted it too! Eg. Alasdair Macleod, Why the EU is Doomed.

The Proms and prophecy on Britain and EU’s demise = a double ‘coincidence’!!

Posted on Monday, 19 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

The post on Land of Hope and Glory Anthem should have been published last Monday but matters delayed it ’til Friday, yet I found it served to show the truth and reality of scripture:

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend (lit: ‘winnow’!) my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue (or pc!), but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit or where can I flee from Your Presence? (Psalm 139:1-6 NKJV) Selah!

MOREOVER, the moment I hit the ‘publish’ button an incoming email linked into almost identical wording and opinion!! Mere coincidence or an awesome ‘God-incident’??

‘Disruption’ of Events?

Mon 12th intention to report on Last Night of Proms got waylaid by urgency of words on US presidential elections – and I got directed to rare, pertinent video of Trump.
+ taking advantage of warm weather for outdoor work and other vital tasks make all online work intermittent;
+ republishing couple of spiritual anniversary posts on due date;
+ time to draft only bullet points on the Proms and not complete checking;
= Friday’s usual start of long weekend (cyber-silent). So ‘Proms’ item NOT posted!

Morning Coffee

Nero_6 Unwinding over coffee and yummies with paper and crossword I laughed out loud at its front-page item – EU ploy to force UK rethink on Brexit. The strap-line reads – ‘The European Union elite seem to think the game is to make us change our minds’.

‘Senior figures in the EU believe that Britain will give up on Brexit if they make negotiations as tough as possible, The Telegraph understands. British officials are fighting to stop Europe adopting a no-compromise position in talks in the hope that the UK will change its mind about leaving the bloc...’. Other remarks show European Commission president Juncker likes insulting 17M voters’ intelligence.

Sheer folly! I recall last November’s prophetic warning received by David Noakes (who’s known to us).

In mulling this over I recall a friend’s very recent vision regarding judgement on Parliament and wonder if this may be related to political consequences of trying to disrupt the Lord’s plans for New Britain, or even those of arrogantly changing His ordinance of marriage? We agreed it’s important to complete my final version about what happened to Nina and publish that mid-afternoon.

A Trip in a Time Machine

Hand with News icon - Watcharakun Had last Thursday been the usual full blogging day, subscribers would have got an email alert to that new post. The Lord, however, was at work with another writer and His hand brought that to my attention on-screen Friday!

Had it not been long-weekend offline and the actual post intruding into our time, it would have been followed by His astonishing confirmation.

So, let’s get in an imaginary time-machine and go back to when you may have read Holy Spirit Strikes During ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ Anthem. Can you do that? Is it clear in your mind?

Open opening it you’d have read in the first paragraph that the anthem, ‘Traditionally featured with ‘Rule Britannia’ in the sensational climax to the Last Night of the Proms, was sung with exceptional gusto by a flag-waving public during the Proms 121st season.’

I’d hit the publish button at 15:30 hrs, logged off WordPress and was about to shut down my pc but checked incoming email ‘ping’ and saw it was the weekly update from Prophecy TodayUK. So I printed hard-copy to read at leisure – but the main feature STUNNED me!

As we’re in a time-machine, look at how A Prophetic Word for Britain, Clifford Hill’s joint message with David Noakes (issued at 15:04 hrs) opens:

‘I watched the Last Night of ‘The Proms’ last Saturday along with millions of other viewers and the vast open-air crowd in Hyde Park and similar gatherings in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Was it my imagination, or did anyone else detect an extra (Brexit?) fervency in the patriotism that flowed out of the Albert Hall in waves and resounded from the crowds across the road and other parts of the UK?… this year’s final night seemed to have an extra edge of enthusiasm. It was not just that a guest soloist, Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez (a foreigner!!), dressed in elaborate costume lustily sang’Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves’ but also the Finnish Conductor Sakari Oramo, (another foreigner!!) participated enthusiastically in singing ‘Jerusalem’.’

Sheer coincidence? Regular readers will have occasionally noted how critical the timing of events can be for posts on certain matters, which strongly suggests their significance for some reason that’s ‘beyond our ken’. Also, there’s a scriptural law of serendipity, as explained by prophecy teacher and mentor Revd Dr Sharon Stone (God-incidents).

So, in view of what I’d been reading earlier that day, I realised the importance of that word and trust you will visit PROPHECYTodayUK to consider it carefully too.

Startling confirmations of my encounter with Jesus

Posted on Wednesday, 14 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

RJB A little time was needed to gain a fuller understanding of my life-changing encounter with Jesus, especially in view of His absolute holiness in contrast to my personal sinful nature. No wonder I was convicted of my sin and expected to die right away!

That encounter used two very personal aspects of my life to grab my attention, thus validating the experience as real, not an imaginary one. Even more amazingly, both are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents! So they couldn’t fail to enhance my interest in End-Times that had been kick-started a few years years earlier (mid-1980s) by reading The Invisible Hand and watching tv! (as in About).

The First Advent is when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about 2,000 years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated in the western church calendar as Advent, and which start the church’s liturgical year.

The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to commence in Jerusalem – it will be the bodily return of Jesus to rule and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

My personal encounter featured an element of that, as explained below, and over the next couple of decades I received intriguingly strong confirmations of the encounters reality. I regard them as a ‘triple-validation’; the first of which was as startling as the actual night-vision of 1989.

First Confirmation/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 of my encounter 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.

It 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 for I had 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 Confirmation/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. So this corner was closely associated with Christmas, and was also where my father’s armchair was located.

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 the truth for which I’d been seeking for decades – the one who is the Truth in person.

Truly, the most fantastic Christmas present ever – and a constant 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 read ‘212’ miles!

Third Confirmation/validation

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

When writing the instalments of My Journey Into Freedom in 2013 I inserted a report on something pertinent that happened concurrently in the United States. This came as a ‘new revelatory word’ from the Lord to Revd John Kilpatrick and began at 2:22am. This too, is interesting on two counts. Numerically, because my birthday falls on a 22nd and, verbally, 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.

September’s totally life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ

Posted on Wednesday, 14 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

To the Glory of God alone is this personal story told:

For He has rescued me from the dominion of darkness and brought me into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:14 NIV)

RJB Twenty-seven years ago this morning, 14th September 1989, I awoke from a night-vision that is still vividly etched into my soul and spirit. A truly awesome life-changing night.

The tragic deaths of fellow teenagers in 1960’s birthed an ambition to learn what happens at and after death. I had many questions: is there a post-mortem existence? – why’s any discussion of the topic taboo? – because it’s so deeply emotional? – why no definitive, global comprehension of an inescapable, regular event that’s common to every living creature that’s ever existed on this planet? – why haven’t scientists discovered a satisfactory answer?

My search actually led me astray and put me in a personally perilous place. But I believed my journey was an eminently sensible situation – I never guessed how wrong I was!

Decades later, I was unexpectedly confronted by the consequences of that decision upon my own post-mortem existence – a terrifying insight, and retold for the sake of all visitors to this blog.

Last night was the anniversary of my life-changing encounter with the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Continue reading →

ATTENTION: Paradigm shift

Veronika West 7th Sept: A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM

“LOOK! THE CHILDREN ARE COMING CARRYING THE FIRES OF REVIVAL, A TIME OF SIFTING IS TURNING TO A TIME OF RADICAL SHIFTING”!

Two days ago I was in a time of prayer for Theresa May when I heard in the spirit the sound of a beating drum but it seemed a way off in the distance, as I continued to press into the sound, suddenly I saw an army of children marching on the horizon, I saw them dressed in garments of pure white light, they moved and advanced to the sound of the beating drum, immediately I heard the Father say,

“MY DAUGHTER BEHOLD I AM DOING A NEW THING IN THIS HOUR AND IN THIS NATION, TELL MY PEOPLE TO FORGET THE FORMER THINGS AND NOT TO EVEN CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD, NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH; YOU SHALL KNOW IT? WATCH! FOR MY LAMBS ARE ARISING AND ADVANCING IN THIS HOUR, CLOTHED IN THE FIERY GARMENTS OF REVIVAL, AND ANOINTED WITH KINGDOM POWER, AUTHORITY AND REVELATION, THESE ARE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PEACE AND PURITY WHO WILL LEAD THE SHEEP BY A NEW WAY, A WAY THAT LEADS TO A NEW LAND OF PROMISE AND VICTORY, FOR I AM RESHAPING, READJUSTING, REFASHIONING AND REBUILDING THIS NATION, ITS TIME FOR MY PEOPLE TO MOVE AND SHIFT, MOVE AND SHIFT, EYES HAVE NOT SEEN, EARS HAVE NOT HEARD AND MINDS HAVE NOT CONCEIVED WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO IN THIS NATION”, says God.

As I heard the Father speak these powerful words, I saw His hand write across the skyline the words, “PARADIGM SHIFT, IT’S TIME TO MOVE”!

Now after hearing Him speak, I began to praise Him for the NEW THING that He is doing in the midst of our Nation, when the Holy Spirit impressed upon me a picture of a ‘Drummer Boy’ who would march on the battlefield ahead of the Army beating on his drum. The picture was so clear and so powerful that I immediately looked up some details on the duties of a Drummer Boy, and this is what I found; Now among the many tasks of a drummer boy one was to beat the cadence for the soldiers that were marching. But one of his main jobs was to be the communicator for his unit. The drummer boy established communications and kept order among the units in the field. The drummer boy would use one of many drum calls for everything from assembling the troops to march, to gathering the officers for strategy meetings, and also to sound the call to advance or retreat while under enemy fire.

Drummers always remained near to a high-ranking officer to play the drum calls that would relay the officer’s orders and commands. The drummer boys were often awakened at all hours of the night to drum the call. Frequently, he would not be able to go back to sleep, because once the men were assembled and deployed, the drummers would lay down their drums and act as runners between outposts, carry stretchers or do whatever was necessary to help the unit.

I found this information incredibly exciting, enlightening, and powerfully prophetic of what God is doing and about to do with the younger generation in our Nation at the critical time!!

Veronika West republishes month-old urgent word for USA

Posted on Monday, 12 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

Veronika’s latest Facebook entry posted early yesterday reads:

I felt to repost this word this morning as I prayed for the USA!

9th August 2016
AN URGENT WORD FOR THE NATION OF AMERICA.

“IT HAS BEGUN”, says God

‘Early hours of this morning I was woken by sudden and violent jolt, immediately I was taken up into the spirit realm where I heard these words,

“IT HAS BEGUN, WATCH, As I overthrow thrones of darkness and witchcraft, WATCH as I shatter and annihilate the strength of an ungodly government in this Nation, WATCH, as I overturn the plans of the enemy, YES, even the secret plans of the wicked one shall be exposed and rendered powerless and impotent, WATCH, as I drive out those that have opposed My plans and purposes in this Nation, WATCH, as I shake, shift and radically change the direction of presidential race to the White House, WATCH, as My Governing hand now moves strategically to realign and reposition even those that are standing as candidates to become the next President of the United States of America, and many will say, BUT HOW CAN THIS BE“, says God

‘After hearing these words, I was shown a gold signet ring and again I heard a loud voice that said, “America I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, WATCH, For I will Restore to you a place of Authority and Honour among the Nations of the Earth once again“, says God.’

psalm-33-12-usa

NB: ON 31st August Veronika posted another Word for America (emphasis added)

…Late last night while in a time of worship I suddenly heard the Spirit say,

“Daughter tell My Warriors in the Nation of America to BE ALERT, TO BE SOBER, TO BE WATCHING, TO BE PRAYING, TO BE PRAISING, TO BE PRESSING AND TO BE EXPECTANT, FOR MY HAND WILL MOVE MIGHTILY AND STRATEGICALLY OVER THE NATION OF AMERICA IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, AND WATCH FOR AN ANCIENT DOOR WILL BE OPENED TO DONALD TRUMP”! ……(click above title to read in full)

Could the opening ‘ancient door’ prophesy this recorded event?

Posted on Bible Prophecy Tracker 7th Sept (link not available), their item closes with the above video clip and reads:

‘On Sunday (4 Sept), Donald Trump received a standing ovation at a black church and praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit.

As Pastor Jackson presented Trump with a Hebrew shawl (tallit), a Jewish Bible, and offered his prayers, the black audience cheered and clapped. As a Reuters cameraman became suddenly aware of the strong impact of the moment, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!”

‘The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. “ and cut the feed.’

Veronika West: an important dream and scripture for USA

Posted on Monday, 12 September, 2016 by Richard Barker

In view of yesterday’s momentous significance in the US presidential elections with Hillary Clinton’s poor health when attending 15th anniversary of 9/11 memorial service (breaking news: pneumonia), what Veronika West received the preceding night 9-10th Sept will be of deep interest to my American friends (red and blue text added):

A WORD FOR AMERICA (click for link to her Facebook entry)

GOD IS THROWING YOU A LIFE LINE IN THIS HOUR! AMERICA TAKE HOLD OF IT AND YOU WILL LIVE.
I SAW THE NATION OF AMERICA SINKING INTO A DEEP, DARK PIT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION; THEN I HEARD THE WORDS, “TAKE HOLD OF MY ROPE OF HOPE AND YOU WILL LIVE AND TRIUMPH OVER YOUR ENEMIES”.

Last night I had a very powerful but short dream about the Nation of America. I saw in the dream the Nation of America sinking slowly into a deep and dark pit of destruction and death, I could hear the loud screams and cries of thousands upon thousands of people, the sound of their screams made my blood run cold, I could hear the desperation and the panic in the voices of those that cried out to be rescued and saved, but then suddenly, in the midst of great turmoil and darkness, I heard another sound begin to rise up from the sinking Nation, as I pressed in deeper still, the sound grew louder and louder, as I listened, I could hear the sound of many more voices, I could hear the sound of music rising, rising, rising from the sinking Nation, the voices grew stronger and more powerful, then I heard the sound of the song, “Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me”, I listened and watched intently in the dream as the sound of powerful and penetrating Worship filled the atmosphere of fear and despair, then suddenly I saw the heavens open wide over the sinking Nation and I saw the brightest of light shine forth upon the American people, and like the brightest of sunrises I watched as the Nation that was once in great darkness was now being covered like a blanket in deep gold and silver, then I saw the colours of the rainbow fill the skies over the whole Nation.

As I kept watching suddenly I saw a hand coming out of the heavens and I watched as a rope with a life-ring attached to its end was thrown to the sinking Nation. My eyes were immediately drawn to the brightly coloured red life-ring that had come out of the heavens, I watched as it went forth upon the Nation, I looked again and it had words written upon its fabric, it had the words, “BY HIS BLOOD, YOU WILL TRIUMPH OVER EVIL”. then I heard a voice that said,

“IF MY PEOPLE WILL TAKE HOLD OF MY ROPE OF HOPE IN THIS HOUR, I WILL DELIVER THEM FROM THE PIT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND I WILL LEAD THEM TO NEW LIFE, LIBERTY AND GREAT TRIUMPH”.

After hearing these words my dream suddenly changed and I was handed a stop watch, the kind you would use in a running race, Now as I looked at the stop watch I saw the seconds moving very fast when suddenly the seconds stopped at the number 59 and then over to the number 60, then I heard the words, “Isaiah 59/60”, in the dream.
Here are both scriptures, please read both together, one after another, I believe this confirms the first dream I had, and it also reconfirms the word God gave me a few days ago called; THE 11th HOUR FOR AMERICA!! Continue reading →
