“I Am Ready To Pour Out”

Posted on Monday, 25 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Thank you to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and Lin Wills for permission to publish this word dated 14th January:

I will be exalted among the heathen says the Lord. And My glory shall fill the earth. And My Name shall be known throughout the earth.

For I am the Lord, the God that has lifted you. And I am the Lord, the God that is going to lift others. Many many others will be ushered into My Kingdom in these last days. And My Spirit shall be poured out upon the earth in a new measure. For you shall see the rain come as never before. And you shall see life come as never before. New life. Life born from above. And you shall see a manifestation of My presence in the church as never before; and a new fresh anointing on the preaching of My Word.

For there shall be signs and wonders in the earth and into heaven, says the Lord. And there shall be a great outpouring and a moving, says the Lord. And a new thing shall spring up. For I am doing it by My Spirit. And I will bring it to pass. For My glory shall be seen in all the earth.

And many many shall come, many shall come and shall be delivered from their bondage; and be delivered from darkness and death, says the Lord, and be brought into My light. For you shall see many coming in to My Kingdom. And you shall see My church come alive and be awakened for I am bringing the new thing. I am bringing the new thing.

And I say to you My people. BE READY, GET READY, GET PREPARED in PRAYER. For as you PRAY, as you SEEK MY FACE, as you CALL UPON ME, so as you HUNGER and as you THIRST, and as you are DESPERATE for MORE of ME, so I am ready to pour out. So I am ready to run to your hunger. So I am ready to fill you, overflow you says the Lord. For out from the church shall go the rivers, into Bristol, into the Nation, and touch many hearts, and bring transformation in many lives.

For I will be exalted among the heathen, and My glory shall be seen in the earth. And many shall come into My Kingdom.

Selah…

Geoff Pick: vision of bolt cutters for Church – empowerment to Breakthrough!

Posted on Monday, 25 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Thank you to Geoff Pick for telling me the words Patrick Schatzline brought (here) line up with a vision he’d received in October and now posted on UK Prophetic Words, as below.:

“I saw a lobster, and the view moved closer to focus on its massive claw.
“As I watched, the claw became a bolt cutter.
“I believe that we are entering a phase where the body of Christ (in the UK in particular), will be breaking through in ways and places, that the enemy has seemingly secured and locked down, where until now only disappointment, dismay and hopelessness has been the order of the day.
“Jesus’s church is strengthened and tooled-up to bring about break-through. Where facing near immovable giants; we’ll see strongholds coming down.
“As in the days of Elijah, the day finally arrived when the long withheld rain finally fell.
“Even the dead will be raised.
“The dead will be raised.
“No more limits.”

Psalm 107

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.

15 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

16 For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.

Isaiah 45

2 “I will go before you and level the exalted places,a I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron,

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me.

5 I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me,

6 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

7 I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things.

8 “Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the LORD have created it.

Revelation 3:7-8

“These are the words of the holy One, the true One, and the One who possesses the key of David, which opens the possibilities so that no one can shut them. The One who closes all options so that no one can open:

8 “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. I have done this because you have limited strength, yet you have obeyed My word and have not denied My name.

Acts 5

But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and led them out, saying, “Go and stand and speak in the Temple. Tell the people all about this new life!”

Luke 4

‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord’.

1 Kings 18:36-39

36 And at the time of the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. 37 Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” 38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.”

Footnotes:

I note the reference to Elijah and the keys of David, both of which Dr Stone had spoken about in 2016 Word of the Lord – and the echo of the ‘No Ebb’ prophetic word on rains Arthur Burt had carried since 1930s.
Two years ago a raft of connections between rains, floods, Athur Burt and Bob Jones cropped up: see Parts of an ‘invisible jigsaw’ point to bigger picture.
Intriguing timing in reference to ‘bolt cutters’. Last night we watched Spielberg’s film ‘War Horse’ and I was especially struck by the use of large wire cutters offered by a German to an English soldier to cut thoroughbred Joey free from barbed wire. (He’d bolted from German service behind the trenches and, after crashing through barbed wire defences strewn all over ‘no-man’s land’, was felled by severe entanglement.)

Simon Braker: stepping over into a new position

Posted on Friday, 22 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

A week ago today, on 15th January, Simon Braker spent the morning with city leaders praying for Leicester and the nation. He reports on Facebook:

‘I felt the Lord speak – as we shift into this next season we have began (sic) to step over into a new position, no longer are we pushing for a move of his Spirit in the nation we are now on the other side as the trickle has began, there is the beginnings of a fresh awakening in the nation with increasing numbers coming to Christ and an increasing number of healings and demonstrations of his power invading earth, we must now shift in our thinking we are no longer seeking a move we are in the move, Gods call to us now is to keep our eyes fixed on him and seek wisdom in the stewardship of the new season, do not get distracted from the face of God by the works of God, do not worship his works or even his presence, stay fixed on him and worship his person!

‘The supernatural will continue to increase, as we move forward we must not become fascinated by this instead of him, signs are never an end in themselves they point to a destination in this case the destination is God himself.’

Dr Jane Hamon: puzzle pieces & prophetic words

Posted on Thursday, 21 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Dr Jane Hamon introduces a prophetic word and teaching on “A Year Heaven Partners with Earth in a New Way”,

“This word is a bit lengthy, however, it has been interesting how God has shown me several different things like puzzle pieces and fit them together for the fullness of what He is saying for this exciting and challenging season”,

Fascinating to read this sister in the Lord recognises the revelatory mode that I often blog about: ‘Invisible Jigsaw’.

The detailed words Jane brings refer to the Lord as saying,

“If you show up, I will show up – if I did it then (as in the Bible), I will do it again!.”

Jane also refers to the Lord bringing us into a time of spiritual climate change because we’re in ‘A Jubilee Year of Release’, as well as a ‘Year of Divine Reversals’. Carefully read and weigh for yourself after Steve Shultz introduces Jane to his Elijah List readers here.

Fulfilled prophecy (and answered prayers) #6 – families

Posted on Thursday, 21 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

More news of answers to prayers and prophesied fulfillment.:

First, and most dramatic, is news that Christian foster parents whose adopted sons were removed by social workers will have their case re-opened. They’re supported by Christian Legal Centre, extracts of whose report Court of Appeal: Boy’s removal from Christian parents to be scrutinised, read as follows:

‘When their case was heard last January (2015), the ‘Browns’ said the opinions of social workers were taken as truth by the judge (and they) exhibited no clear understanding of Christianity, and the Browns’ parenting methods were criticised. The primary reason the judge gave for refusing to return the children to their adoptive parents was that a psychologist’s report didn’t recommend the children’s return. (Christian Legal Centre’s CEO) Andrea Williams said:

“We have been unable to expose the gross injustice in this case because of the secrecy surrounding the family courts. This case is the tip of the iceberg. These wonderful parents have been greatly disrespected. The state seemed not to treat them as parents because they were adoptive parents.

“The objective evidence of the boys’ progress over years seems to have been dismissed. Such a flimsy rationale for the removal of children from a loving home is appalling.”

The foster-father commented that we’re not in Soviet Russia or North Korea and yet, “Objective evidence is not required in these courts. And this is Britain…The net effect is that, in this place we consider home…our boys can be taken…by the British state.” (See accompanying video.)

‘In May 2015 the Court of Appeal’s Lady Justice Black ruled there should be a review as to whether the judge at the Family Court had taken the right factors into account in deciding the boys’ future, and whether he had failed to give proper weight to the good parenting that had been given to the children for three years prior to their forced removal.

‘The parents’ appeal was heard on Tuesday morning at the Royal Courts of Justice and Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Simon have allowed the appeal and have ordered a retrial of the case.’

Read the full report here and readers may wish to consider supporting the CLC’s work – see Christian Concern.

This promising outcome and the timing of this legal appeal is not only directly related to prophetic words brought by Dr Sharon Stone for 2016 on appealing to the Sovereign Court of Heaven for our families (as at 2 herein) and by Jane Hamon at the close of Awakening, but also to an appropriately encouraging daily word from Glasgow Prophetic Centre.

Tuesday morning I received Christian Concern’s Prayer Alert on the appeal case and an hour later that day’s Lion Bite arrived from Glasgow – Now is the time! – which reads:

The Lord hears your prayers: “So long you have waited to see a change in your circumstances”. And He declares over your life that, “Now is the time!”

“As you have come to the end of your own strength and abilities, you have been tempted to think negatively. But know this, you are in exactly the place I desire for you to be so that you can experience the power which comes from my Spirit.”

Allow the Holy Spirit to take over and, by faith, place your trust in God and He will bring the miraculous into your situation. (Emphasis added)

Halleluia!

Secondly, at that Tuesday morning’s weekly service for healing at the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation we heard a lady tell of her unbelieving husband’s sudden, surprising wish to attend some church meetings with her!

Nina also testified to the return of our ‘prodigal daughter’, whose whereabouts were totally unknown, after 12 years (as recounted in Fulfilled prophecies 5).

Thirdly, during one of the now regular calls our daughter reported a wonderful change in her own daughter and restoration in their relationship as a result of getting back in touch with us. Our 23 years old grand-daughter’s so happy that all three generations are now in a proper family relationship.

Fourthly, one of our local friends reports that her sister and mother have at long last been reconciled.

Fifthly, after reading Fullfilled prophecies 5 Julie Barton commented about her sister and brother getting back in touch with their mother…

I recall reading of another a few months ago in Bristol area via Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival.

How many others?? MORE LORD!

Conclusion

Many prayers and words we hear from the Lord bring comfort during troubles and so often we also need to ask for patient faith over many years. SO it’s heart-warming and highly encouraging that recent prophetic words from several sources (eg. Sharon Stone, Patrick Schatzline, Lana Vawser and within John Kilpatrick’s 20 words – and last August from Val Williams & Aliss Cresswell) about the Lord taking widespread action to restore families are actually being fulfilled for believers in Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord…

Click hereto read more about how God was using Pastor Saeed Abedini to preach the Gospel inside the worst prisons of Iran.

(Riverside, California) — Yesterday here in Southern California, I did a Q&A session and delivered a sermon on the differences between Apocalyptic Islamic eschatology (End Times theology) and Biblical eschatology.

I explained why this topic matters, and why it’s particularly important right now.

This was the first of a series of messages I will be delivering as part of our month-long book tour for The First Hostage,and I’m very grateful to my friend, Pastor Greg Laurie, for inviting me. My intention is to post notes and the video or audio of each message along the way. I hope you find them…

Update 1: “Nets and Lines” prophecy of online harvest of souls

Posted on Monday, 18 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Referring yesterday to one of the 20 prophecies and words of knowledge for 2016, pastor Kilpatrick reminded everyone how the one on “Nets and Lines” came upon hearing in his spirit, whilst asleep, the Lord asking him how fish are caught.

“Immediately, when I heard ‘On the net and on the line’ I woke wide-awake”. John was so excited he knew to, “Write it down because it immediately registered in my spirit that the Lord was telling me the internet and online is about to have a great touch and wind of God on it”.

So John encouraged listeners to consider and, if they believe it, to catch it and hold onto it and then proceeded to clarify a specific point:

“God’s about to touch the internet in a powerful way and He also said that His glory and His wonders will be exhibited through the internet, and the Lord said that ‘It would be without edit!”

“I took that to mean that when God really begins to move a lot of networks, television networks and news outlets, won’t air it because they’ll know it’s supernatural and they’ll know that people are hungry for the supernatural – for the power of God – and many will refuse to air it, just like they refuse to air things about Israel because they know that Israel’s supernatural.

“They might not know it in the natural, but their spirit rebels against Israel because they know that God is still with Israel. Just as the same way many things are going to happen in the world and news agencies and news outlets won’t even air it, they won’t talk about it, but the Lord said, “I’m going to go to the internet and without edit the world will be able to see what I’m doing – it’ll be signs and wonders!”.”

Ref: Church of His Presence video (from 45:50 mark). See also Update 2.

Revd John Kilpatrick: prophecy of internet harvest of souls

Posted on Saturday, 16 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

This is the 15th of ’20 Prophetic Words and Words of Knowledge for 2016 and Beyond’, as given to pastor John Kilpatrick by the Lord and delivered 8th January, as in the previous post.

John pauses during his lengthy delivery to preface this particular prophecy,

“Early in the morning on January 1st 2016, just about a week ago – (looking up from the notes to stress) I could never have thought about this – I’d could never have dreamed this up – I know this has to be from the Lord – listen to it..”

Here’s what the Lord gave him:

“Jesus said to Simon Peter and his brothers, “I will make you fishers of men”. Jesus later gave Peter a word to go fishing and informed him that the first fish caught would contain a coin in its mouth that would be used to pay their tribute (taxes). It was supernatural provision that resulted from privileged information.

“Last Friday morning, as I was sound asleep, I heard Holy Spirit speaking directly to me. He said,

“There are usually two ways that fish are caught—with a net and on a line.”

“I was so startled that I awoke immediately and looked at my clock. It was 5:55. Now awake, I heard the Lord continue. He said that there is coming a great international harvest of souls through “the net” (Internet) and “online”. He said that the Internet will light up as Holy Spirit accelerates His mighty wonders. He also said that “the net” and “lines” will bring tremendous and miraculous provision to God’s people because time is of the essence, and the waters are abundant for harvest. A new and very powerful wind of anointing will blow through the Internet. In real time, signs and wonders will be witnessed without edit. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament will show forth His handiwork!”

Footnote: The number five is the number of grace. The Holy Spirit is revealing to us that we are in a triple grace season. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. I want everyone in this house, and especially those on “the net” and “online,” to give Him glory. Glorious days are indeed just ahead. Come on! Let’s give Him great and high praise! 2016 – “The Year of the Wind!”

NB: see Update 1 for explanation of “without edit” and Update 2 about an existing internet program of evangelism and discipleship.

RB’s notes:

Also, 5s could be likened to giving a ‘high five’ where two hands join together to appear as one lot of 5. That is, one conjoined 5 is made by two separate 5s belonging to different people. So at that time of 5:55 am maybe the Lord’s doing His own ‘holy high five’ with John? Just a thought…
Is the transmission, or the flow, of Holy Spirit’s power possible over the internet? We can personally attest this happens: we’ve seen or heard things that carry a strong, holy anointing on various occasions and been powerfully affected. Eg. on 3rd January Nina had to take an urgent phone call and left the lounge where CHP’s service was being live streamed to our TV. Upon returning she didn’t know what the assistant pastor John Michael K was saying as he addressed the online audience direct – BUT Nina got blasted. JM was blessing us all to receive Holy Spirit’s gifts!! So the power either came through the internet via satellite or else spiritually direct from heaven (See also Holy lightning beyond ‘The Pond’ strikes in the UK.)

Revd John Kilpatrick: 20 prophecies and words for 2016 & beyond – “The wind has shifted”…

Posted on Saturday, 16 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Note: for readers new to or unfamiliar with prophecy this post includes John Kilpatrick’s preface before teaching upon the current wind of God. For the benefit of visitors to the 10th anniversary of Church of His Presence in Daphne, Alabama, on 8th January pastor John briefly explains prophecy. Using powerful John 3:8 (a favorite of mine) and 1 Timothy 1:18 (more insightful in NKJV than NIV) to help us understand the Spirit and personal words of prophetic direction, he says:

“One of the reasons so many people have come from all over to be here is because people need a word from the Lord – some are desperately seeking Him. Now I want to make this clear: I’m nobody’s fool for I understand that the Word of God – the Bible – takes priority. We’re fed by the Word, and the Word has meat and the Word has milk – it nourishes ‘baby’ Christians and it nourishes mature Christians…

“This is the main way we’re fed, it’s the word of God. But there’s also in the Bible the gift of the Holy Spirit, of the word of knowledge, there’s a gift of faith, a gift of healing…there’s nine gifts of the Holy Spirit and one is the word of knowledge where the Holy Spirit gives to someone a word for someone (else) about situations that only the Holy Spirit could have known about. And when that person hears that then they know the Lord’s watching out for them, or maybe God’s confirming something to them, and it really puts wind under their ‘wings’…

“In difficult times people wonder why they’re not hearing from God. They want Him to speak and can find God speaking to them from a sermon where the preacher’s been hearing from God and this nourishes them…But also we need not just a word from the Bible but we need a word from people that are used by the Holy Spirit, where God can speak to us and confirm things or to give some guidance. A prophetic word or word of knowledge is not to control somebody… but brings encouraging words.”

After teaching on the Wind of God, John directs the congregation and those live streaming on the internet to watch the deeply moving worship video “Alpha and Omega”. (Hence, the recent post on this blog.)

Then before he reads the words received from the Lord I was amazed to hear his reason for changing his mind against listeners’ giving, or ‘sowing’, money whilst he preaches. His explanation confirmed the startling vision of what I’d ‘seen’ whirling around Charlie Shamp when he spoke about the same thing last Good Friday!! His host told him people need to have the opportunity to give. So John sought the Lord for doing so at the end of this service and was told,

“I want you to tell the people to sow to the wind… and they’ll reap a whirlwind!”

Then John tells what happened to him after Christmas,

“On December 27, 2015, I was on my back porch, and I casually looked out and saw the wind blowing gently out of the south. A moment later, I looked, and it was blowing out of the northeast. As soon as I saw that, I heard Holy Spirit say to me, “The wind has shifted.” I was immediately filled with such a strong unction that I left the back porch and went inside. My pen literally began to fly across my yellow legal pad. For over 2 hours, I wrote prophetic words and words of knowledge as fast as I could. It was literally a divine download and was a total surprise to me. I continued to receive more words in the days that followed. In total, there are 20 prophetic words and words of knowledge, both personal and for the nations, for 2016 and beyond.

“I believe these words will relate to many people, and I trust they will minister to you. I also believe that they were not given to direct you, but to confirm things for you. I do not believe that all of these are specifically for the year 2016, as I received them with no timeline; although many of these will relate to this year. For some of you, these words may have already begun to come to pass. For others, you may begin to see them activate in the near future. Please feel free to contact our office with any testimonies regarding these words. I am looking forward to what the Lord has for His Church in the days ahead!

“May God’s Best Blessings Rest Upon You.”

20 PROPHETIC WORDS & WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE FOR 2016 AND BEYOND

THE YEAR OF THE WIND

“This year will be very unusual on many levels. As a matter of fact, a phrase will be repeated over and over on the lips of people of many nations. You will hear it said, “I have never seen anything like this before.” There will be a great stir among the people of the nations. Seemingly, nothing will remain normal any longer. This will not be just an American phenomenon, but it will touch all the continents.

The Lord shall rise up and make Himself known.
The forgotten shall shout for great joy.
The heathen will see a great light.
Unbelievers will take another look.
Experts will be stumped.
Nations shall be shaken, but kingdoms shall be jolted.
Dead, dry bones will experience a fresh prophetic wind.
Some will struggle with the question, “Is this God, or is this the devil?” But God will receive all the glory for His mysterious wonders.
This will be the year of the winds of God, and those winds are already blowing even as I speak this word.”

John continues delivering the remaining prophetic words and words of knowledge, as in above video, on:

Update 12 May 2016: Apolitical prophecy in His Presence

LATEST 4 Nov 2016: The Wind Has Shifted – Update from John Kilpatrick

Fulfilled prophecy #5 – Return of a ‘prodigal’

Posted on Tuesday, 12 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

“…Prodigal children will return to the front doors to once again embrace the awesomeness of God…” (Patrick Schatzline: 2016 – The Lord’s Joyous Shout)

And that’s exactly what happened as the old year 2015 got ready to draw its last gasp!

As the clock headed for 6 pm a fortnight ago today Nina’s mobile phone rang. It displayed an unknown number and so she thought it’d be another of those nuisance cold-callers selling PPI. Therefore, she declined it right away and put the phone down.

But within seconds it rang again. So she answered and heard a faint voice, “Mum, is it you? Are you there…?” Nina hadn’t heard anything from and been unable to contact this lost daughter of hers for far, far too many years. This daughter was desperate. We phoned a few accessible friends for prayer support as we didn’t know what lay in store.

Nina tells what happened next in this email to a Vineyard pastor, Ginny, who’d previously prayed with her:

‘Twelve years ago, due to a tragedy in her life my daughter tried to kill herself as well. I have never heard from her or knew anything about her. I prayed every day to our Lord that she would one day come home but I did pray that it would be better for her to know Jesus and then come back to me. At the end of November 2015 I drew a small heart, wrote her name on it, put it in the palm of my hand and lifted her up to God afresh.
‘Guess what, the telephone rang early evening on December 30th and it was E…, weeping that she wanted to see me. Needless to say my response was ‘Come’. She did get lost but Richard was able to meet her and she followed him home.
‘Then a scene took place that I have imagined many many times over 12 years – I opened the door and she fell into my arms weeping. She stayed with us 24 hours, slept all night with no nightmares and best of all SHE KNEW JESUS. She had been praying to Him for about 8 years. We are in daily contact by texting and her first one to me said “Thanks for being my mum, I love you”!!!!!
‘This is as brief retelling as I could make it as I am still going through PMS – Post Miracle Shock.
‘Richard and I used to come along to Winchester on a Saturday evening and on one occasion you happened to mention prodigals and I started crying. You prayed for me and E…’s return. So you have been part of this miracle too.’

(Another aspect that retired pastor unwittingly played during E…’s return is told below.)

The evening’s weather was atrocious and E… had an hour’s drive in driving heavy rain in darkness and under glaring car headlights and street lights in towns. She parked to phone again just inside our town’s limits because she didn’t know how to get to our house. I was reminded of the parable of the prodigal son and how Jesus described the father seeing his adult child and setting off running to greet the homeward-bound ‘lost’ one. (This is also our heavenly Father’s nature, which is why Jesus used this parable to show what God is like.)

Prophecies

The way E… turned up on our doorstep and what happened when Nina opened the door fitted so precisely what the Lord had given Pat Schatzline. I didn’t read that word he’d sent me direct until I’d blogged it. All I knew was its great importance and that I had to slot it into my very tight pre-Christmas schedule, as recounted in my footnote to his post – click link. No wonder there’s a joyous shout from the Lord.

After we’d updated one of our prayer-partners she emailed by return,

“Extraordinary that I should receive this the day after your news! Scroll down to prophetic words about restoration of families.”

The section of Hugh & Ginny Cryer’s Culture Changers ‘ezine’ our friend’s referring to reads as follows (emphasis mine):

‘A number of people have written to us saying that they are following Lana Vawser, At the beginning of this New Year I thought you might be encouraged by part of a word Lana gave in mid-November 2015 (Keys of strategy are turning…He is the key to your family).

“Joy will return to many homes again. Laughter and honour is being restored. The time for unprecedented miracles in families has arrived.” “Next year 2016 will be a year of many prodigals coming home!!! He then began to share with me how He is doing a deep work in families right now and it is going to hit a point of celebration and increase next year. Next year will be a year of greater restoration of family!!! One of the waves of revival to be poured out across the earth is going to be released in unprecedented ways through the testimony of the restoration of the family unit”.’

The latest from Lana, Fire and Favour on Families, is mightily encouraging. Thank you Lord.

So the Lord is putting tangible pieces into the part of His invisible jigsaw that shows our lives. He directed Pat to email and Ginny to refer to prophecies about prodigal children returning and others have noticed too (eg. see Confirmation of prophetic word: holy winds of change).

It’s especially interesting that Nina’s daughter E… has a belief and prayer life without being in contact with any particular church. Some years ago Ginny, who’d ministered to Nina as above, was most astonished to learn direct from the Lord that ‘out-of-church’ Christians are very acceptable to Him.

WHAT A TERRIFIC START TO THIS NEW YEAR!! Thank you Lord that 2015 began in a severely adverse way medically but ended with a miraculous celebration in restoring this mother and daughter to one other – and are now keeping in touch!

SO be encouraged, praise and thank the Lord that these contemporary prophecies are of Him and are quickly being fulfilled. More please Lord…

Update 21 Jan: E… has since reported her return has brought about a wonderful change in her own daughter and restoration in their relationship too. And so our 23 years old grand-daughter’s very happy now that all three generations are ‘family’ at last. So are we 🙂

Dr Sharon Stone: 2016 Word of the Lord – “The momentum has shifted”

Posted on Thursday, 7 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

A prophetic word was brought by Dr Sharon Stone at a Christian International Europe conference on 5th December. I pray this transcript conveys the anointing of the spoken word as Sharon prophesies, teaches and points out practical applications, especially on the heavenly court.

By way of preface Sharon asks those gathered, “Why do you need to have a word of the Lord for this season that you’re in?”, and then answers her question.:

I believe it’s because it helps you to align with God so that you can make a difference in your world.

And that’s what all of our hearts’ desire is, but the problem is then: God’s idea of time often does not agree with our natural understanding of time. But remember this: He’s the One who made time and He made us to be aware of His timely plans.

I love what 1 Chronicles 12:32 speaks of: it says there was a tribe in Israel that knew the times and the seasons of God [‘sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel should do’]. Now Israel was always successful when they were compatible in opinion and action with God; to carry out His will, His way, in His time. Even though there were other nations who had more powerful armies and influential leaders, they could not compete with the edge of knowing what God had planned for the particular times.

Now, God is giving His children the ability of knowing His times and seasons, and not only that but also recognizing the signs of the times and correctly interpreting them. He wants you to have knowledge from Him of the course we need to take, precisely what needs to be done and how to do it.

So, when you and I choose to receive and apply God’s revelation, then we benefit from its counsel. This includes you, the church, government, leaders and those in business can all benefit when they have a timely word of the Lord and revelation to align with.

Now, when revelation is released in the spiritual realm (as today) the atmosphere begins to shift. And what happens there? The atmosphere begins to shift, it has a chain reaction causing changes in the natural realm to come to pass. And then, what seemed to be impossible before that is now possible, because God’s word is a creative word.

So, this 2016 Word of the Lord is about intentionally partnering with God’s will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. (Prays for delegates and herself to hear Him.)

1. The Voice of the Lord is a Force for a New Course!

I want to start with revelation concerning the prophets for this season probably because it’s so near and dear to my heart – I love raising up prophets:

In prophet Elijah’s day Jezebel obtained a throne of authority in God’s covenant land. Now Elijah also had a seat of authority, but his was not given by man but it was established by God. Prophet Elijah’s authority not only countered Jezebel’s advances but it realigned Israel with the Lord and it set a new course for the future.

So with the prophets, the voice of the Lord is a force for a new course!

Prophets must now align with each other for increased revelation to release a force for a new course, as it did in Elijah’s day. You may ask me how that works and I want you to look at Psalm 29 (reads verses 3-9 aloud) We read how the thundering voice of God is so powerful, the only thing everyone could say was “Glory!” There is a fresh revelation and power coming to prophetic people that’s going to cause the Church to be struck with awe – as they were then – the only exclamation they can make is “Glory, glory!”
A whole new prophetic velocity is being released. In this momentum more individuals are going to embrace the prophetic and be trained in hearing the voice of God than ever before because a whole new prophetic velocity is being released.
Time to Prophesy Resurrection. Even in the last season we were prophesying like prophet Ezekiel to the scattered dry bones – “Come together, come together”. It is switched in this season; God says it’s now time to prophesy resurrection to the valley of bones. What is that resurrection? In Ezekiel 37 verse 9 (reads aloud …lifeless bodies received resurrection, they stood up on their feet and became an exceeding great army). God is raising up prophets at this time because we’ve been speaking to the Church, “It’s time for dead bones to begin to connect and to come together”. Now God is saying “Listen, I am taking those things and the resurrection power of My Spirit is coming upon them that they might stand and be a great army”.
You see, God is calling His prophets to GLOBAL government influence and impact – so you have got to begin to prophesy that resurrection power. Prophets have to align with each other also during this time because we need the increased revelation for solutions in the earth!

2. The Sovereign Court is in Session

One of my main focal points for this session is Daniel chapter 7. I have just met with many different major prophets and there was a prophetic consensus. You don’t often get that, but when you do, how precious it is – but the consensus is this: Daniel 7 is now being fulfilled. I’ll read some scriptures but what I want you to take note of is: the Sovereign Court is in session (emphases added).

v 9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire;
v10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: a thousand thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.” Did you hear that?…

The Judge of the universe has now seated Himself in readiness and the book of appeals and verdicts are opened for Sovereign decisions at this time. Where our lower courts have made bad decisions our only option is to appeal to a higher court – “The Sovereign Court” to overrule. Then all the lesser courts have to align with the highest court decrees.
You need to do this for your family – Job 5:8 reads; “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He provides rain for the earth; He sends water on the countryside. The lowly He sets on high and those who mourn are lifted to safety” (NIV)
God wants us to appeal for our homes, He wants us to appeal for our Land!
YOU are someone that during this season God wants you to know that there’s going to be divine legislation for transformation – divine legislation for transformation!

3. Time to Possess the Kingdom

What else is currently being fulfilled out of Daniel chapter 7? The time is NOW to possess the Kingdom – it says in…

v 21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
v 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”

That time is NOW. Major prophets all over the world are going, “The time is now!” Now, to possess the Kingdom! We’ve been given the ability we didn’t have before – we’ve been given the “Ok”; we’ve been given the marching orders; we’ve been given the assignment.

The saints in this verse were contending against spirits of darkness, the spirits of fear and the spirit of anti-christ. It says they were being overpowered and marginalized in the midst of their challenge. But right there, there was a verdict that was released. That verdict is now forming our future. Suddenly we, the saints, are released to possess the Kingdom!

The momentum has just been shifted, I hope you can feel that! – in spite of very unlikely odds, the time has come for the saints to possess the Kingdom. That means to advance His Kingdom on a grand scale that couldn’t be seen before. So there’s a resurgence of the saints; that means there’s no law that cannot be changed. So it’s time to deal with what we’ve thought of as lost causes (eg. abortion and same-sex marriage) for the Court of Heaven is seated, the books opened and He’s waiting for the Church to rise up and say “Enough is enough” and divine intervention is going to come from the Ancient of Days.

As I pondered these things, I heard the Lord say this;

“You are the power behind the Throne.”

I knew He was speaking of us, the Church. What does that mean? It means we are the “Shadow Government” of the government in the earth. A shadow government is an invisible authority demonstrating that power resides not only with publicly elected representatives or monarchy, but with the Ecclesia, the Church – you and I.

The Sovereign Court of Heaven is the place where appeals and decrees will shift nations regardless of the earthly government.

The Ecclesia will function to advance Kingdom territory – they’re going to use the Keys of David. What are these? Revelation 3:7-8 says “…He who holds the key of David. What He opens no-one can shut, and what He shuts no-one can open.” Why of David and not Moses or Abraham? David was the only one who was a prophet, a priest and a king. Those are keys to nations. We’ve seen people in times past who’ve used these keys to open up our cities and our nation for revivals, for miracles, for awakening.
We want to learn how to do the same thing with the Key of David that the Spirit of the Lord has given us. When we use that key in pray and worship it looks like this: when David functioned as a priest his prayer was petitional and worship was devotional…but we want to move on and as a prophet, the prayer and worship is full of targets, of detail, clarity and of revelation…but when he operated governmentally in the kingship anointing we have governmental prayer and apostolic courtroom worship. That’s how we function now as kings. These keys will open up the Kingdom of God’s advancing transformation in the earth, for this is a year of staking claim to the land and of possessing the land

4. Increase in Authority

Complacency is breaking off God’s sons and daughters.They will not just believe “that someone else will go”, but they will act on God’s behalf and say as Isaiah said; “Here am I send me.” (Isa 6:8) [RB: Similarly, with boy Samuel when lying down by the Ark of the Covenant when the Lord stood beside and called him then he responded, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening”. 1Sam 3]
We are going from faith to faith as a new measure of authority is released into the earth. Faith will appropriate this authority that has already been given. The authority of the Lord is increasing as we passionately follow Him and it’s coinciding with our expanding territory to impact and to steward the work of the Lord.

With every new endeavor or territory that God assigns to us there is the responsibility that comes with it. Your new authority is needed, for your new territory because it comes with obstacles that can only be overcome by it. So I want to talk about revelation this season of what are some of our obstacles – not that we won’t have some that are the same but what are the ones unique to this season?

5. Unique Obstacles

Persecution of Christians will increase in this season…Remember, prophetic prayer worship and prophetic warfare sounds can still reach where you cannot, resulting in opening of prison doors, just like it did for those in the Bible.
Main obstacle is Fear. Be really careful not to allow yourself to be motivated by fear or to the fear that’s released in the atmosphere – not to live under it; you affect the atmosphere rather than living under it! |Even when hearing of wars and rumours of wars – they’re going to be part of our existence from now on – do not let that shake you because fear is the opposite of faith and it will rob you of your faith. Instead, know this is the time for you to expand and be blessed, to create new things (including wealth, the Bible says), to bring forth words of life that heal. The world needs hope and God has called you to demonstrate His love and His power for Christ in you is the hope of glory!
National security/immigration. There will be greater focus on national security so the Lord will give guidance for praying and use your prayer language to reveal the will of God. Likewise, we need a solution from heaven for the issues of immigration.
The economy. I don’t believe it’s about a falling economy but I believe the Spirit of the Lord has said another credit crunch is coming. It not something to pray and avoid but is one of those things that’s still balancing and exposing for we should pray that the systems and kingdoms of this world might be transformed by the will of heaven.
Racial division in the earth will bring unrest. The Lord says this can be downsized or avoided as pastors/leaders pray and decree for racial unity from the pulpit. They must also demonstrate working together with other pastors/leaders. Racial division can be downsized through prayer.
Rise in terrorism and insurgent attacks will continue. We’re going to see a greater increase of one-man terror assaults (many small attacks). They will seem to be disjointed and random but the Spirit of God says; “They’re not”. But can I take you to look at the word that releases fear in people, like ‘cancer’ used to. That word is:
1. ‘ISIS’ – Isis is the name of an Egyptian god. Note that I’m speaking of demonic spirits, NOT Muslim people – Egyptian god spirits, not Muslims. But it is not a coincidence this army has laid claim to the area of the Middle East that the Lord claims as His own in Isaiah 19, because it’s a spirit behind the army that wants to halt God’s plans. Let’s look at chapter 19 verses:
2. v 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt…
  v 20 And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt…
  v 23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria… v 24 …Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria…
  v 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.” (Please read those carefully later…)
3. One motive of the demonic spirits behind ISIS is to try to halt the Isaiah 19 Highway. The Lord has miraculously freed His people from Pharaoh’s oppression and these scriptures tell us God will do it again, but this time it will include Egypt and Syria. And the gods of Egypt will be toppled again – the result is multitudes are going to be delivered and awakened to their Lord Jesus Christ.
4. ‘ISIS’ will continue to operate for a time, because one of the reasons is that true motives of the spirit behind Islam are being exposed to many people who have a searching heart. Like Haman, the Lord will allow ISIS to prepare its own gallows, waiting for the Esther intercessors to re-write the decrees – remember the book is open and the Judge is seated.
5. Greater shakings to be experienced in the Middle East as division comes upon the “House of Islam”.
  Mark 3:25 gives us our prayer strategy; “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” We need to and it is time to use the same strategy against Satan that he has used against the Church; and that is division. This is a time for praying increased division between the demonic powers behind Islam. Continue to pray for the conversion of terrorists as well as for the halting of activity and for preserving people. Remember Saul the terrorist became Paul the Apostle in Acts 9.

6. We have had Restoration of Apostles, but now it is a Time for Apostolic Action.

The Day of the Saints is what my father in the Lord, Bishop Bill Hamon of Christian International, calls this season. This the anointing and movement of the apostolic, not just the restoration of the apostles. So we are anointed to equip people to be “Sent Ones” with signs, wonders and miracles. They’re on assignment to bring transformation into their territory and they get to build apostolically during this time.
Time to Build Apostolically
This begins with the Church again being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, so there are some shiftings that are going on around the earth right now. This foundation is being restored in a new dimension of God’s government. He is giving us fresh strategies for today and so new blueprints to build are being released to enable the Church to partner with God in this new mandate. For some it will look like a redevelopment plan, but for all participating it will be structures that are going to accommodate an incredible harvest. There’s going to be blueprints for finances, strategies for raising, equipping and sending of the saints – and it will seem to many like an acceleration time. Apostolic/Prophetic churches and centres will multiply. So we get to “Arise and Build” and be the victorious Church that the gates of hell cannot stand against. I love that! Now because the Lord is building His house, it says when the Lord builds the house our labours will not be in vain. So we’re not building out of religious ritual or tradition, even though we’re building territorially, because we’re bringing the will of heaven right into our communities and into our nation. With this going on…

7. There is an Agitation of Wineskins

Luke 5:37-38. “And no man puts new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the wineskin, and be spilled, and the wineskins shall perish. But new wine must be put into new wineskins; and both are preserved.”

Individually and corporately, we/Church are these containers. Jesus is telling us that we must have a capacity to hear a fresh word from Him to build apostolically. And what’s happening?

There is a catch-up movement of the Holy Spirit very similar to the Charismatic movement when Holy Spirit poured out into all denominations regardless of the name over the door. So there’s coming another season like that into denominational streams and old wineskins, giving people an opportunity to update before the coming evacuation from old wineskins – some say “Update before evacuate”, but we need to know that’s of God’s agenda. There are some old spiritual wells that have to be re-dug but there are vast new glory spots of revival springing up throughout the earth that God wants you to partner with in Him.

Prophet Jane Hamon has a great revelation that during this time of:

the spirit of Leviathan being stirred to resist this awakening and new wineskin and revival, and to stagnate and stalemate the Church in our nations. She saw Leviathan resisting awakening on every hand. Churches would be resisting the awakening, most media will ridicule it, and the government in places would even try to stop it – but the spirit behind it is Leviathan. [See 2016 “Awakening”.]

The Hebrew word Leviathan actually means “to mourn.” The enemy’s strategy has been to get the church into a place of mourning over things that have gone against us and to immobilize us with a sense of hopelessness. God is waiting on His people to engage in battle, which would release them to move forward and deal with the resistance. We have to shake ourselves and awaken from the grief and mourning over the dead past. People are being awakened in the world and the Church needs to be awakened to go to them!

8. Awakening, Harvest, Reformation and Transformation

As we are coming upon the 500th anniversary since the Great Reformation (Martin Luther), Kingdom understanding of what’s going on in the atmosphere right now is creating links between awakening, harvest, reformation, and transformation. There is a shifting of the Saints into the Great Transformation of the Church for the Transformation of our nations. So…
We’re on the verge of another Great Awakening and the chains of hope deferred are breaking off you and off churches right now. The prayer army is being awakened first and coming out of their slumber. An awakening is taking place in the Church. A remnant is arising, they’ve been maturing, they’re increasing there’s a momentum being gained. There will be an increase in God’s manifest glory and His healings. There’s going to be a voice of truth and righteousness with no compromise that will not be silent. God’s people will be known for their boldness and love. And apostolic, prophetic churches and centres are multiplying at this time. Also, there’s a greater move of the Holy Spirit upon children and they will be awakened in the middle of the night and hear the Lord, as did the child Samuel.
It is also the Beginning of a Great Harvest! There is a fresh release of labourers empowered by the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. Believers are going to realise they’re “sent ones” now, into the fields of Harvest.
Prophetic Evangelism is going to be a main tool the Spirit of God will use and so it’s time to get trained in those areas. It’s going to have its greatest harvest during this season as a major strategy for Kingdom advance.

9. Unity

Christian fellowship is a key aspect of Christian life. Coming together in love, faith and encouragement is an element of family and authentic relationships. We cannot influence society with the truth of who Jesus Christ is without that love for God and for each other that He wants us to have. We need those authentic relationships. As corporate church flows in unity we’re going to see God’s presence with a mighty outpouring of signs, wonders and miracles. God’s people are going to rise in this pressure of current world situation and we’re going to create a unity in the Kingdom of God and the House of God that’s without precedent in former generations!

I believe Heaven is actually standing to attention and they’re waiting – there’s almost with an intake of breath – waiting for the prayers of God’s people to link arms and to fight as one. It’s an incredible time and, as a matter of fact, Psalm 133 says this is what’s going to release, this unity will release the commanded blessing of the Lord.

10. Nations

The next area of revelation that God is speaking is concerning the nations and here in Europe we need to know – even if we read the news we would hear this –

1. Europe is shaking in disunity in the EU. But there is also a different shaking going on – there’s a clash of the Kingdoms in Europe. This conflict begins in Europe but it negatively spreads to the nations of the earth if God’s people do not pray…This clash of the Kingdoms will also cause the Church to awaken and arise, and what will happen is a fresh joinings of passion for the Lord as a war cry is raised from the Church. Intimacy and warriors – it’s an incredible time…and coming from the voice of the Church in Europe! Remember, this conflict is for who’s going to rule, who’s going to sit on the throne of nations? We have a King of Kings and a Lord of Lords – we’re going to give Him His inheritance: the nations!
  Re. our most recent history, Cindy Jacobs says: “Through crises the enemy has used a Trojan Horse to enter Europe. But God says; ‘I have a plan for a sweeping awakening of Europe and the nations of the earth, to actually reap a harvest of the Muslims nations“. So God is going to turn that Trojan Horse around for the benefit of harvest.
2. The church in England will see it’s true Apostles rise and build.
3. The church in Wales is about to birth an end-times prayer movement.
4. The church in Ireland will water itself in great intercession and see an early harvest of souls.
5. There is a fire beginning to burn in Scotland.
6. The church in France is rising in power.
7. The church in Germany will begin to show its strength.
8. Netherlands, God is giving you watchmen assignments for the EU, the European economy and terrorist attacks against your country.
9. Spain will become a focus for the spirit of Islam…but the true Church is also rising up in Spain.
10. Russia. Putin will continue to stir unrest in the world with his alignments. Yet God is moving in the Church in Russia and especially a move of God among the young and next generation in Moscow.
11. Small embers are beginning to burn for God in Estonia, Siberia and Serbia.
12. Ukraine has a strong underground church forming that will ignite this nation for God.

You know, we’re beginning this year with a grace of empowerment to be more than conquerors. What an amazing way: that’s how God is causing us to move into this year!

Psalm 110:3 Your people will be Your love offerings like living sacrifices spilled out before You. In the day of Your mighty power, You will be exalted and in the brightness of Your holy ones You will shine, as an army arising from the dawning rays of a new day.

There are so many of us forerunners in all spheres that are being matured and being promoted into fresh intimacy and authority this year – make sure you grab hold of that!

I actually believe you can hit that reset button in this season. Go before God and set that rest button in the areas you need to reset…because God wants so much for you than you want for yourself.

Sharon closes with a strong encouragement that we’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, some of whom we know personally – there’s many more of them than of us!

“I believe that we’re on a fresh momentum with the shifting of the saints to possess the Kingdom, that’s going to cause us to finish well.

“God bless you and be blessed in 2016.”

Selah!

Paws-4-thought: the Queen, prophecies and jigsaw pieces

Posted on Tuesday, 5 January, 2016 by Richard Barker

Last night it popped into mind that the previous post about Her Majesty’s Christmas broadcast omitted the pertinent part of her hereditary title: ‘Fidei Defensor’ – Defender of the Faith!

STOP, PAUSE, REWIND < < back 500 years…and then fast forward > > to 20th Century England.

‘Fidei Defensor’ was the papal honour bestowed on young King Henry VIII in 1521 for his literary defence of the sacraments (ie. including marriage!) and papal supremacy against Protestant ideas of Martin Luther. However, lack of a male heir to the throne and Henry’s desire to remarry brought a break with the Roman church. That Latin title was revoked but Parliament then conferred ‘Defender of the Faith’ upon Henry VIII and subsequent monarchs as protectors of the Anglican faith in being Supreme Governors of the Church of England; that is, above the Archbishops of Canterbury and York – see Wikipedia.

Consequently, in my humble opinion Her Majesty’s message could be regarded as being an apologia, or brief expository defence of the Christian faith. And so we may surmise how this complements related prophetical material and I suspect more pieces of the Lord’s invisible jigsaw pieces are falling into place.

>> to 6 decades ago

A little nostalgia now: I recall a very small toy model coach with team of horses as a gift from my grandfather in preparation for celebrating the Queen’s coronation on 2nd June 1953. There was also model scenery between which to drive the golden coach. Parents and family were getting excited. My father made a large heraldic shield coloured in the Union Jack, from which three similar but small flags could proudly fly when hung outside our house. And he even bought a television and invited neighbours to watch the whole event in black and white vision.

A few years later my school teacher proudly told the headmistress about a story I’d written along with my picture of a RCMP ‘Mountie’ on horseback chasing a criminal – ‘The Mountie always gets his man!’ Consequently, he won a bravery award from Queen Elizabeth II in person. This story may have been inspired by TV cowboy stories and accounts of her state visit to Canada in 1956.

> > to 4 years ago

What I felt in my spirit upon hearing the recent Christmas message and the evening’s news announcement was so similar to what I was sensing during and after our visiting Royal Windsor in Berkshire in 2011. For some reason the view of the castle from a few miles away in the Great Park caught my attention. (Little did I know that Dr Sharon Stone and husband Greg were relocating to Old Windsor.)

That impression was noted in ‘Paws 4 Thought’ of 28th June 2012 when blogging about A special town in the Thames Valley (note photo of cloud of UK over town). Therein, I refer to my chat with Sharon in February of that year:

“After talking about her class in Windsor an image of the Castle’s famous round tower came to mind. This was followed by the notion that its crenellated battlements looked like the teeth of a giant cogwheel which could fit into some sort of invisible socket where earth could get plugged into heaven.

“It’s a little hard to explain, but then the thought dropped into mind that such engagement would enable the heavenly kingdom to ‘wind up’ our earthly kingdom, or ‘queen-dom’, for the Lord’s purposes (eg. revival) – rather like putting a key into and winding up a clockwork toy.”

I’d suggest we keep these musings in mind when considering current prophetic words for the United Kingdom.

Time is running out – a second dream

Posted on Wednesday, 30 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

The follow-up dream Tony Puccio received:

My Dreams and Visions

The morning of December 29, 2015 I had a an early morning dream. I believe that it is a restating of the previous dream regarding clocks about to strike midnight. The fact that this is the second time this theme of time running out has been the subject of my dream tells me that its message is important.

In the dream I saw an hourglass like the one pictured in this post with the sand just about to run out of the top of the hourglass. Normally one would take the hourglass, flip it over, and begin again. However, this was not the case with this dream. In the dream I saw the hour glass like the one pictured above being held in a man’s hands. The man attempted to turn the hourglass over but the sand kept pouring from what was the top of the hourglass to what would…

Time is running out

The first of two dreams received by Tony Puccio of Tucson

My Dreams and Visions

Eph. 5:15-16See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

The morning of 12/28/2015 ,just before waking, I had a dream. In the dream I was in a room and there was clocks everywhere the eye could see. The ticking of all these clocks was so loud that if this were in real life instead of a dream it would have driven me crazy. I believe that in the dream that the clocks were so loud is because they were meant to get my attention and that they did. There was, however, one thing that all of the clocks had in common and that was that each clock was about to strike 12 AM. Hence the verse I chose to start off this post…

Pat Schatzline: prophetic message for 2016 on ‘The Lord’s joyous shout’

Posted on Tuesday, 29 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

It’s not unusual for the Lord to direct my attention online and, as explained below, the following message from Patrick Schatzline is no exception – click title for original:

THE LORD WILL SHOUT IN 2016!

The year 2016 will be a year of reformation for the believer. I have never felt such a deep stirring to bring forth a message concerning a new year! For several days I have felt a deep impression from the Lord that I deliver a prophetic word for the year 2016. Each day I have sat on an old church bench that came from New London, Connecticut. This old pew sat in a church that experienced the Great Awakening in the 1740’s. As I sat in the pew to pray I would hear over and over the Lord say to me, “Son, I will shout over my people in 2016!” I have never written a prophetic word concerning a new year; yet, I have personally been deeply grieved over the last several months. While I hold onto the vision of the Remnant Awakening I also know that time is running out. In 2015 we have seen much of the diabolical plan of Satan begin to reveal itself bolder than ever before. We saw marriage redefined by an over reaching court, Isis take more ground, the exposure of Planned Parenthood’s selling of baby body parts, and many of the main stream Christian movements move closer towards the euthanasia of the Holy Spirit movement. But, I am here to announce, “all is not lost!” Wake-up and prepare yourself for a new day.

As I have already stated, I heard the Lord say over and over to me, “Son I will shout over my people in 2016!” This stirred me so deeply, because I once heard a powerful quote by C. S. Lewis, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”[1] I also began to study the places in the Bible where God shouts. Here is a verse that declares the Lord’s shout in Psalms 47:5-6, “God went up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.” (MEV)

I have personally heard this shout on several occasions. Once, was in the middle of the night in Kingman, Arizona, when God awakened me in my hotel room. It was March 7, 2011, at 3:30 in the morning, and the Lord informed me to write my first book called, Why is God so mad at me? This interruption changed everything. I also heard the Lord say to me in July of 2014 the term, “Ah Sovereign, Lord.” This became a message of repentance and also a chapter in my last book. My wife, Karen, also had this experience with her first book. I also believe for many of us that God waits till the stillness of the night to awaken us, because during the day we speak more than we listen. The Bible says in Psalms 78:65, “Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.” (MEV)

I asked the Lord what it meant that He would shout over His people in 2016. He led me to Psalms 89:14-15, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your presence. Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout. They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your presence.” (MEV) The shout of the Lord is “joyful” to those who know His ways! I then heard Father say,

“I have heard the cries of the righteous”, and He is declaring respite for His children. “My shout will cause the enemy to cower and take refuge from my glory.” Then He said, “Deliver a message to my people”.

The following is what I felt the Lord has told me to deliver to you:

2016 will be a year of reclamation, restoration, revolution and revival. The righteous will experience an unprecedented awakening of those whom have grown weary and tired in the battle. The righteous whom have lost their will to fight will suddenly be endued with power as never before. They will be given visions and dreams. They will suddenly find themselves with opportunities that have caused Heaven to smile at their obedience. Doors will swing wide open that no man can shut. God is handing out parchment and scrolls in prayer closets to those who know His heart. The parchments are announcements of what the Lord is about to do in the land, and these scrolls have hidden in them the keys to the kingdom of God. The Lord is clothing His righteous ones with humility and boldness. The Lord has reserved for Himself a Holy Remnant that know His voice. These are those whom have decided to go deeper and walk out His precepts. Favor will be upon their heads. They will suddenly find access to places once considered locked, and they will walk with supernatural influence.

There will be much civil unrest across America. The civil unrest will be caused by different political and social movements. It will look like the late 60’s. This will cause the righteous to stand up and say enough! God will awaken the mom movement. Mothers will stand up and declare leave our children alone. Their passion will be to tell culture, government and politicians that they will not stand by and watch their children’s identity be stolen. If they listen to the Lord they will be more powerful than the suffrage movement. These women will not be led by celebrities, but by prayer warriors.

God will visit the churches that have and are declaring His holiness and the pure Gospel. They will experience supernatural growth. Even churches that many have said will never grow will suddenly become shining voices in their cities. Waves of His glory will roll through the services like a fog in the early morning. The services will be marked with repentance and miracles. There will be a mass exodus from the churches that do not preach the whole council of God. Prayer and intercession will once again mark houses of worship. God is causing new wells to spring up. Children’s ministries services will resound with the sound of worship, gifts of the Spirit and miraculous moves of God. There will be a renewed call to evening worship in places that are hungry for more. A new sound of worship will come forth from psalmists. This will be a sound that is birthed by Heaven. God will awaken older and retired ministers to realize that their job is not complete. They will be endued with power to once again proclaim God’s truth. Youth services will no longer be about the crowd or the party atmosphere, but rather sacred assemblies where God will ignite a fresh fire.

Righteous church leaders will suddenly find their physical and spiritual selves renewed with wings like eagles. They will be cured of disease and find themselves resting like never before. Mentally leaders will find that depression has lost its grip on their lives. They will brim with fresh vision. They will also see their households refreshed. Their marriages will glow with renewed love, intimacy and spiritual bonding. Their children will become enamoured with the joy of the Lord. Prodigal children will return to the front doors to once again embrace the awesomeness of God. The Lord will bless their homes with uncanny finances. Many of these leaders will be reminded of prophecies and promises from the Lord as He brings them into fruition. These leaders will also write books birthed in the prayer closet.

Warning: For the leaders who no longer preach a message of conviction and truth, and those who declare their pre-packaged humanistic messages, their words will not go farther than the pulpit. It will be as if the people in the congregation have earplugs keeping them from hearing. These leaders are on trial in the court of God’s kingdom, and if not careful they will be found in contempt. Even now Father is visiting many of these leaders, and they are being given an opportunity to repent. If they do not repent they will find themselves staring at empty chairs in their palatial structures. Their places of leadership will be vacant. God is shouting over them.

God is visiting homes both Christian and secular. God is restoring broken marriages. Family altars and times of worship will be released in homes that have grown stagnate and comfortable. God is breaking off lethargy. There will be a renewed sense of conviction in homes that have allowed God to be locked outside. Prayer rooms will take over rooms reserved for guests. For the houses that are willing to restore God to His rightful place they will feel Him walking through their home. Healing will be in their water. Fathers and mothers must anoint their families. Worship will come from the bedrooms of children. Father’s will have their voices restored as leaders in homes where they were subjugated by culture. They will rise early and pray. Prodigal fathers and mothers will return to their place of leadership as the Lord’s grace calls to them.

The gatherings of the “unknowns” will take place across America. These gatherings will be planned and impromptu. They will be powerful movements that lead people to repentance and adoration. They will not be gatherings with well-known speakers or worship bands, but rather those whom have been awakened by the awe of the Lord will lead them. I believe that the Remnant Awakening will be a part of this.

In 2016 there will be a great awakening in parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and parts of the USA. The enemies of the cross will rise against these movements and in return they will experience great calamity and disease. Their evil plans will be exposed in supernatural ways. Israel will once again turn back the tide of Islam, and its borders will be enhanced. America will experience several close calls by terrorists and all but one will be thwarted. This will cause our nation to once again cry out to God. A renewed sense of God’s sovereignty will over take many communities, and with that people will awaken to the lies of the secularist. God’s people will suddenly stand in opposition to the lies of the enemy. They will find themselves marching as if to war.

There will be many outbreaks of God’s glory on university and college campuses. Christian universities that no longer stand behind their creed and original plan will have opportunity to return to the Master’s Plan! God will use the quiet and meek to be a powerful voice of freedom to those whom are blinded by the enemy.

There will also be a holy awakening of God’s love and deliverance within the homosexual community. There will be those whom have experienced and know God’s presence that will be driven to their knees. God is fiercely jealous of His kidnapped children. He is answering the prayers of righteous parents who are demanding that their seed be returned.

USA Presidential Election: There will be a major surprise during the USA presidential election. Christians must pray for God to show them the right candidate. They must not listen to the hype, but ask for discernment. The church must pray for the Lord’s will to be done.

Finances: The global market will grow increasingly unstable. Yet, the Lord is releasing finances to the righteous. Conviction will fall upon many wealthy to sow into ministry. This will allow the churches and ministries that the Lord trusts to experience financial growth for the vision. The camels are coming to the places where they can drink fresh water. We will see the systematic reduction of large ministries that have lost their compass.

Lastly, the Lord declares that,

“His shout will not be heard by all, but only by those whom have made themselves attentive to His ear!”

He is close to the broken-hearted and your cries are before Him. The shout coming from Heaven is preparation for the final shout found in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.” (MEV)

I challenge every believer to pray and fast! I believe that the Lord is giving us an opportunity to change our world. We know that in Psalms 103 it says, “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy” (MEV). Yet, we also know that in Psalms 7:11, “God is a righteous judge, and God has indignation every day” (MEV).

The Lord is shouting! Are we listening? Revelation 2:17, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except he who receives it.” (MEV)

We must awaken. It is a new day! The Remnant is rising!

Footnote: In view of a busy time leading into the holydays I’d intended republishing the previous post only and nothing else last Wednesday. But upon getting online we found friends had sent an email headed ‘Joy’ with a link to USAF flash-mob. I realised it should go on this blog before the Christmas blessing, thus postponing that to Christmas Eve.

After copying video and modifying text I dashed off a new title because its terse one word needed improving upon. So I found myself quickly referring to our Father’s joy in His Son.

After publishing it I checked my emails before closing down and found Patrick had sent a link to the above message. So I printed a hard-copy to mull over at leisure – only then did I read that message is based upon the Lord’s joyful shout! LOL 🙂

Surely the Lord’s using this ‘coincidence’ to confirm and stress the importance of this word for 2016!

Messages from one who stands in The Almighty’s Presence

Posted on Tuesday, 22 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

(Originally published on this blog on 23rd January 2014 and now re-published in view of the increasing expectation lately among Jews of the appearance of their Messiah.)

Angel Gabriel’s introduction of himself is familiar from Christmas scriptures. Yet I propose to connect his messages with the concept of prophesying into Time, especially about the Holy Spirit – and with an intriguing prophecy for Jewish people today.

Angelic Announcements

This post’s title is from Gabriel’s response to an elderly Jewish priest’s disbelief, to which I refer below. Several months later Gabriel was sent to a betrothed teenager, as depicted in 1898 by Henry Ossawa Tanner in Annunciation (click image for gallery).

The maiden’s visitor greeted her,

“Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

It wasn’t so much the surprise of an invisible spirit becoming visible that troubled her, as what he’d said and how it was said. But this messenger then reassured her,

“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Although not disbelieving what he’d said, the young lady posed a logical question because she was a virgin, “How can this be since I know not any man?” So Gabriel explained,

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”

At this Mary responded laudably, “Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. Let it be according to your word”.

How different was the young maid’s acceptance of this decree about her own future to that of the very much older priest Zacharias when Gabriel had visited him a few months earlier. Apparently, Mary hadn’t heard about what had happened. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Gabriel to have confided the news of that first miraculous conception.

So what went wrong for her cousin’s husband?

Zacharias had the once-in-a-lifetime privilege of burning incense in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. In view of its performance being in the Holiest of Holies, this duty was done by drawing lots rather than by a rota from many teams of priests.

Whilst Zacharias was officiating, an invisible, supra-natural spirit subtly scintillated at the side of the altar. It proved to be a holy messenger – an archangel, so some believe. He brought news of the future mission of a mightily powerful man of God – the priest’s own son! But Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth were childless for she was well past child-bearing age!

However, their prayers for a baby were to be answered and the angel prophesied this special one would be filled with God’s Holy Spirit from before his birth! It isn’t any wonder the priest was in disbelief! When he asked, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years” , the angel’s response was most emphatic,

“I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.” (emphasis added)

If you’re unfamiliar with physician Luke’s investigation into those encounters with Gabriel and what happened when the two cousins met, and to Zacharias too, I’d recommend reading his full account here, by courtesy of BibleGateway.com.

Points to Ponder

Those accounts are particularly interesting in connection with speaking into the future, as summarised in Prophesy TO 2014 and Talking to Time seems to work!

Prophesying is speaking forth the mind and counsel of the Lord God, as communicated to an individual. Therefore, it’s a declaration that cannot be known by natural means – a direct revelation from God. [For more see An Introduction to Prophecy.]

Now let’s check Gabriel’s announcements in the light of John Kilpatrick’s message of the first Sunday in 2104, as outlined in my recent posts (ie January 2014):

1. In that last quotation, Gabriel issued a decree that happened immediately but which had a limited duration. That is, he spoke into Time by prophesying, did he not? Right away the priest became dumb until he was released from the decree’s power when the baby came to be named months later.

My underscoring of “my words…will be fulfilled in their own time” indicates New Testament support for ‘talking into Time’. Gabriel’s words brought from God were not only welcome news but also, and far more importantly, announcements on earth of declarations that had been issued in heaven. They’re excellent examples of oral statements of God’s will and are thus prophetic and creative, in we can understand from the Word of the Lord given to prophet Isaiah (Isa 55:11 – emphasis mine):

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Thus, what God speaks not only through His holy prophets but also through His angelic spirits who minister to His people, as well as through His Son, is sure to happen sooner or later.

2. From the principles of Genesis 1 the power of divine and human speech is creative, . The presence of Holy Spirit is necessary to bring about a divinely created manifestation. A Hebrew understanding of ‘over’, or ‘hovering’, in Genesis 1:2 is that Holy Spirit was next to or immediately adjoining what was about to be acted upon – all that was required to start the process was a spoken word.

Therefore, when Gabriel spoke to Zacharias the combined action of his words and the Holy Spirit fully rejuvenated his wife’s body. She was no longer barren but could carry and bring a child to birth normally. And even in her womb Holy Spirit was present to make baby John respond to the sound of Jesus’ mother’s voice!! (Luke 1:39-41)

The same happened when Gabriel spoke to Mary. The ‘overshadowing’ power of the Most High that he referred to carries the same meaning as that of ‘hovering’ in Genesis. Being of the Holy Spirit, the same creative power that was ‘In the Beginning’ brought about an ‘immaculate’ conception after the angel’s prophetic announcement. That is, it would not happen until a decree, a spoken announcement, had been delivered and received. Once again Gabriel had spoken into Time – into the next nine months!

3. The creative application of Gabriel’s prophetic description of Jesus’ kingship and its relevance to a possible prophecy given to the late rabbi Kaduri warrants consideration in another post. Read about him meanwhile in Who are the Jewish people expecting?

Return from clinical death reveals End-times urgency and impact of Sept 2015

Posted on Thursday, 17 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

A viral video in which an Israeli teenager describes what happened and what he learnt about the return of the Messiah whilst clinically dead is making waves around the world. Being controversial as well as fascinating, it raises many questions and reservations.

I first thank a contributor ‘over the pond’ for sending me the information late last month as well as folk here at Father’s House of Prayer for emailing me this week, thereby spurring me into action!

I’d read the first report but not had opportunity to see the video until a few days ago and, having now done so, I recognise its great importance. So I’m posting the video and links to covering articles for your earliest attention. As the video drew to a close I especially noted that the boy shares an insight directly related to my own observation about the date which he refers to on the End-times! (See Tuesday’s post on September’s importance).

FIRST, read Breaking Israel News’ exclusive report Israeli Teen Returns for 15 mins of Clinical Death with Spiritual Messages Concerning the Coming Redemption. Later, they published an account of the interviewing rabbi’s own near-death experience and thus qualifying him to appreciate Natan’s experience.

(Details of End-times begin at 27:30 mark. My observations will follow in next post.)

As you assess teenage Natan’s account with what Jesus teaches, also watch his face as he recounts the good and troubling parts of what he learned and saw in the ‘movie of the future’.

Also, international body-language expert Susan Constantine’s professional assessment may be read here. (BIN claims her particular expertise lies in detecting deception.)

“Who is like the wise man, and who knows the meaning of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the boldness of his face is changed.” (Ecclesiastes 8:1)

Update of Library of Prophecies: 2007 vision of war in Middle-East

Posted on Thursday, 10 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

Last month’s many prophetical words published on this blog are now logged into the Library of Prophecies together with a couple from a contributor to the Comments thread

I’d especially draw your attention to his word on Jerusalem and, in view of recent events, to a series of short pictures received around 2007 entitled Where East Meets West.

In the latter, it’s interesting to note a contrast between ground troops and air-borne strikes. Also, in October there were concerns over the Russian presence near vital underwater internet cables, as reported here. Then on Tuesday a Russian submarine fired missiles from the Mediterranean into Syria (report here). Today, Putin expresses hope of not needing to use nuclear tactical weaponry against ISIS.

Advent True Story: part 2 – Night Visitor Breaks In!

Posted on Tuesday, 8 December, 2015 by Richard Barker

(Continuing the personal account in commemoration of victims of terrorism and the 4th anniversary of both posts’ publication.)

That night of 14th September’s second visit was far more challenging than polite Peter’s chat – this time it was life or death!

And I went back in time!

Stepping into my ‘time machine’ I found myself in a most unusual dream. One so lucid that, over twenty years later, it remains vividly etched within me. So it must be exceptionally significant. Come back with me :

I find myself in the lounge of my childhood home and in front of the large casement window abutting one corner of the room. I look up into the inky, dark night sky.

A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!” (Occasionally in dreams I’d be aware of dreaming and could change the scenario.)

I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ appears from the right and heads towards the first.

Now, the dream changes gear (rather, goes up a level) from the normal mixture of mental material > to that of absolutely convincing lucidity:

The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers – I didn’t know Jesus appeared as the commander of the Lord’s host, or angels, to Joshua when outside Jericho. Here, I cannot see any individuals but have inner knowledge of the situation.)

I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!

All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.

Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!

Beyond any doubt I realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!

“My number’s up!” I groan, inwardly trembling in knowing I’m about to die at any moment and an invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into hell.

Uttermost mortal terror strikes and I dive right under the drop-leaf table in the other corner of the room to hide from Jesus. But he knows where I’m hiding and swoops down straight through the wall at the side of the window to stand in my room and right beside the table!

Cowering under the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the waist down, his face out of sight above the table.

Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…

As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…

Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!

The event reminds me of an evocative small picture that impressed me as a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought through his Holy Spirit in convicting me of my personal sinfulness (ie. wrongdoing) and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace (ie. undeserved favour).

Also, what happened when I touched Jesus proves he’s intimately acquainted with the private details of my thoughts as a little boy. The last moments of the dream show he will topple my childish concepts of him and thus hint at his replacing them with a sure knowledge of his true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111). Mercifully, he plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into his own and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

The most remarkable, life changing dream I’d ever had. Therefore, over several months I carefully reconsidered all my New Age notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none whatsoever like this!

The only remotely similar dream was that of an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. However, ecstasy then turned to abject terror at the sight of an approaching hideous, devouring beast of blackness far worse than any nightmare! (I didn’t take drugs.) In this dream, however, fear had been overcome by Jesus himself and his wonderful mercy and love – and pervasive peace.

REALITY CHECK

Time now to take a reality check. We’ll find this story can be validated and in three ways! The first confirmation was to come from an unexpected source…as herein.
