Deeper and higher – and catch fire!

Lion_Roars_email_logo_HIGHERThese are the encouraging prophetical confirmations ‘coinciding’ with the 7th anniversary of writing and watching. They’re also related to an invitation and spiritual sighting of a huge blank scroll seen a week ago today and, as stated in closing the last post, are a personal directive:

DIVE DEEPER INTO THE WORDS OF GOD (Lion Bites Friday 26 Feb)

Still yourself and listen to your heart. Can you hear it cry out for more of the nourishing word of God, as a hungry stomach rumbles to be fed – or as a deer pants for the water?

If you dive in and read and listen to the word of God you will be rewarded. There is most certainly a need and a time for slow, careful study and quiet reflection (always!) but this particular urgency is to dive into new and deep places, reading longer passages and dining on larger portions. You will be rewarded and refreshed. If you can, read aloud, so that the words bless your mouth and your ears, as well as your eyes. Dive deep, swim into a new adventure in the word of God! There really are few things that you can possibly do in this world that will be more beneficial and radically transforming.

What are you waiting for?!

PS Why not start with Psalm 119, an epic celebration of the word of God?

Psalm 119:9-16 (but go on and read the whole Psalm!)
How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

“WHAT DO YOU SEE?” (Lion Bites Monday 29 Feb)

There is a deep place of revelation and a higher place of sight that God is pulling you up to in this time. Like Jeremiah, you will be one who sees the word of the Lord, interprets it and brings it into a place of action and application.

Where there has been hinderance with your spiritual sight, God now releases ease. Where a fog of confusion obscured what you saw, now there is a release of clarity and understanding. As you receive this anointing, God asks you, ‘What do you see?’ There are new revelations and insights that you have yet to receive that now you will.

But God also asks you, “Where do you need to look again?” There are places, peoples and revelations that you are being prompted to look at again through this new anointing. In the previous season, as you looked at these things, you may have missed some of what God was doing but now, as you look again, you will have a wider view and a higher perspective to see the fullness of what the Holy Spirit is orchestrating in this hour.

Receive the gift that God freely gives you; open your eyes and look at the new things but also look again, through fresh spiritual eyes, at previous things.

Jeremiah 1:11
“Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

And today’s Lion Bite returns to the subject of holy fire, what else:

THE ALL-CONSUMING FIRE

God has placed His fire around you; to those who seek Him it is a fire of love, warmth, protection and provision.

He desires that you would come closer to His fire, as if you were embracing the flames of love and feeding from Him – He is the fire. He is a holy fire that will consume all those things that would set themselves up against you, leaving you safe and in a place of his warmth and love.

All you have to do is say, ‘yes’ and draw ever closer in your worship and adoration. Let Him do the rest for you. Remember, He wants to give you more than you care to receive. He cries for you to surrender all, so that His fire is in you, as well as around you. He is an all-consuming fire.

Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Hebrews 12:28-29
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

7th Anniversary of Watching

Courtsey StoonnDedicated to personal and cyber friends and readers who’ve followed my musings over the years – kindly bear with any repetition below.

On the last day of February seven years ago I emailed some friends in various churches about how I’d been stunned upon opening my Bible. Having been in touch about the previous year’s events in Lakeland, Florida, we continued chatting occasionally. However, my attention was suddenly directed to look at Biblical prophecies in much more depth.

We will see how this may be relevant to the previous post but first, in celebrating that date, let me repeat the opening of that two-part email (click title to read in full – and I hope the many links below don’t cause readers any scrolling problems):

WOW! This word confirms and thus speaks directly into a dream of 11 days ago whilst attending the Awake conference (and which plugged into the podcast on Time). ALSO, for some reason this word was missing from my email notifications, although the next (Angels of Recovery) was in today’s in-tray! It was found by looking in my WordPress’ Reader folder, which I don’t always check upon blogging as I usually go straight to its admin desktop.

Bobby Conner: “Behold! The Centricity of Christ!”

Steve Schulz at The Elijah List writes, “This is both an exciting and sobering word from Bobby Conner about the days we are in. Yes, “…the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken” (Isa. 40:5). Bobby had what he called an “electrifying prophetic experience” that is a MUST READ!

“I won’t give too much away but will share this from Bobby:

These are some of the most exciting days in human history. Prepare for the dawning of a new day!

“Be greatly encouraged by this word from Bobby!”

Bobby_Carolyn_Conner_500px

In an electrifying prophetic experience I was shown an emerging glory cloud covering the entire Body of Christ. As this cloud emerged I watched as Masterful hands with hammer and chisel forged this statement into the cloud of Glory:

“THE CENTRICITY OF CHRIST!”

At the completion of these words chiselled in the cloud, as Heaven’s host joined in victoriously shouting out the declaration, all Heaven and earth shook with the proclamation.

NOT WHAT BUT WHO!

Behold the Lamb in His Glory!

These are days of destiny, filled with wonder and excitement. The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the heart of God’s people with great expectation.

Something new and revolutionary is at the door—but the question is not what is at the door, but Who. A cry for the manifest Presence of God is about to be answered (see Isaiah 64:1). Every eye shall behold His brilliance and magnificent Glory (see Isaiah 40:3-5) and every veil shall be removed in order to behold the Lamb in His Glory (see 2 Corinthians 3:18).

Indeed, much will be discovered in these revelatory days concerning the Glory of God and the God of Glory. Now is the time for every child of God to behold the Lord Jesus in His revealed Glory (see John 1:14). The Word of God plainly declares that the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of God.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14

As we prepare the way of the Lord, the entire earth will behold His grandeur—and God’s plans for these end-time days will result in the entire world discovering that His Son, Christ Jesus, is King of kings and Lord of lords ( see 1 Timothy 6:15)!

These are some of the most exciting days in human history. Prepare for the dawning of a new day!”

Behold God’s Warnings!

Yes, we are living in unprecedented times. We are observing end-time events unfold before our eyes. Intense anticipation is building within the saints of God. However, we are also clearly beholding the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy concerning the condition and conduct of humanity at the end of the age (see 2 Timothy 3:1-5).

In many places and among many people, it is the norm to mock and belittle Christ Jesus. Mocking and blasphemies, however, are about to come to a sudden halt. We would do well to take time to read the “coming attractions” of Revelation 19:11-16:

Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in Blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Let the heathen rage: his mind is filled with vain, blasphemous thoughts. God will bring a swift end to mockery and scoffing (see Acts 12:23). Scripture states that every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord:

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

Let this warning flood the earth—starting with our own hearts from Psalm 2:1-12:

Why do the nations assemble with commotion [uproar and confusion of voices], and why do the people imagine (meditate upon and devise) an empty scheme? The kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ). They say, Let us break Their bands [of restraint] asunder and cast Their cords [of control] from us.

He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. He speaks to them in His deep anger and troubles (terrifies and confounds) them in His displeasure and fury, saying, Yet have I anointed (installed and placed) My King [firmly] on My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, You are My Son; this day [I declare] I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like potters’ ware. Now therefore, O you kings, act wisely; be instructed and warned, O you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with reverent awe and worshipful fear; rejoice and be in high spirits with trembling [lest you displease Him]. Kiss the Son [pay homage to Him in purity], lest He be angry and you perish in the way, for soon shall His wrath be kindled. O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are all those who seek refuge and put their trust in Him!

Behold the Harvesters!

The Spirit of God is, at this point in time, harvesting the harvesters and reaping the reapers. Why? The Body of Christ is standing at the verge of the greatest harvest the world has ever seen—the harvest at the end of the age when all seeds become fully ripened and mature fruit, both good seeds and evil seeds.

Never forget: the Lord will have His harvest. In the midst of the world’s confusion and chaos, the Kingdom of God is advancing swiftly across the nations. The Spirit of God is anointing ordinary people to do extraordinary exploits for the Glory of God (see Philippians 2:13) and countless multitudes are turning to Christ. Soon, more than one billion people will be brought into the Kingdom.

Beloved, be confident: you were born for this day. Don’t delay: move forward in victory, taking your place as a harvester and as an overcomer, embracing fully the destiny God has planned for you (see Ephesians 2:10).

Truly, as stated in Esther 4:14, we are in the Kingdom for such a time as this. You can know for certain that the Kingdom is in you for such a day as this. Take your stand be a bold and brave beacon of God’s love and light.

More focus upon holy fire

Tongues of Fire Acts 2-3

Tongues of Fire, Acts 2-3 – credit Iris Ministries

Over the weekend and today I heard about and read a few items from prophetical voices focusing upon the Holy Spirit’s flame falling upon and setting believers ablaze.

First, today’s Lion Bites from Glasgow:

THE POWER AND PURITY GENERATION

I am calling a generation to walk in both power and purity. In this day there are many influencing forces trying to pull my children from left to right and those who would dilute my word and my revelation. Yet with power and purity married together in your life, you will stand and not be overwhelmed by these influences.

I come to you today to baptise you with the spirit and with fire; to fill you with power and to set you apart as a pure one. I desire that you live life in the undiluted, raw, power of my gospel but also that your life would be established on an ever sanctified, set-apart, purity.

Would you allow me today to first baptise you in my fire: to burn and refine you and fill you with my Spirit and a greater measure of my power?

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

What is the “Gospel of the Kingdom”?

Posted on by

Since posting a couple of items on orthodox Judaism’s reconciliation with Christianity (here and here) – as well as on Time – I revisited Romans 9-11 (which continues in 12:1 ‘Therefore…’ ) to prepare a follow-up. So this weekend I was mulling over the disciples’ prayer, “Our Father…Your Kingdom, let it come” and their wanting Jesus to tell them when that would happen (Acts 1:6). This morning ‘God-incidence’ arranged an email about Nelson Walters’ incisive new post on these matters (note interesting discussion thread too):

mike-parsonsThank you to Mike Parsons for the first of two posts that will give my readers a base for what I’m about to blog on prophecy and time, as an outcome of weekend’s Awake meeting. Also, I’m pleased he quotes Matt 6:33, which continues ‘and then all these things taken together (ie. everything!) will be given to you besides’ – the ‘Caleb’ personal promise of 40 years ago (see There’s a river flowing through this nation).

with Jeremy Westcott –

As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (John 17:18)

We are sons of the kingdom, sent to colonise this world, the very same mission God gave to Adam and Eve:

God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over it’ (Gen 1:28).

They were to rule over it in the authority God gave them, and so bring it under the rule of God. God still calls us to bring that rule of love into the world, to make earth like heaven. To make earth like heaven you have to know heaven, so we need to access heaven.

The realm of heaven is a dimension that is right in front of us. It is not somewhere up in the stars. It is here…

Aliss Cresswell: prophetic word for 2016 – massive spiritual shift

Posted on by

RobnAliss_200_photoAliss and husband Rob lead Morning Star Europe and its relational network from Chester, England.

Several especially interesting points in the detailed word she brings resonate with me, for example: the return of those who’ve been offended or hurt by church or feel disqualified, misunderstood and disillusioned – unexpected ones from other faiths, New Agers and celebrities encountering Jesus – the emergence of radical followers – the prophetic going up a whole new level – the relevance of Daniel and of Cyrus for 2016.

Aliss writes,

“There has been a massive shift spiritually worldwide, which is also affecting the physical realm. Here is what I sense the Lord showing me beginning to happen right now at the start of 2016….” continue reading here.

She covers prophetically:

  • A Grassroots Movement Arising
  • Signs, Wonders and Miracles
  • Many Returning To The Fight
  • True Christianity Going Viral
  • The King Cyrus Anointing
  • The Spirit of Wisdom & Revelation
  • Apostolic & Prophetic Partnership
  • The Warrior Bride
  • Revelation 4:1 Doors Are Open
  • Love and Courage Will Increase

May you be mightily blessed as you weigh and discern with the Lord and His Word.

Dream of Pope and Potus on a plane

Posted on by
1

Credit Reuters_Kevin LamarqueA headline on Barack Obama’s ‘stand-out’ moment of praying with Pope Francis reminds me of a dream I had a few weeks ago. [2 Jan’25, I don’t recall this, but had it been another’s I’d have cited the source. ]

Christian Post’s reporter Stoyan Zaimov briefly summarises Potus’ wide-ranging interview on ‘CBS This Morning’ and quotes him as singling out the Pope’s visit to the White House last September as a ‘stand-out’ moment in his presidency. Obama shared thoughts and prayers with the leader of the world’s Roman Catholics and says, “He’s somebody who is the real deal. I think he deeply cares about people, about the vulnerable”.

I recall awakening from an unusual dream about the two famous personages, wondering what it meant.  The dream had no sequential story or dialogue but was simply a snapshot. That is, I saw them in a large room on board an aircraft high in the stratosphere and my first thought was they were on the renowned Air Force One.

An obvious inference is they’re both ‘high flyers’ as global leaders. But my understanding upon asking as I awoke is that, despite appearances to the contrary, they’re both moving so far above ground as to be out of touch with real affairs – if not in ‘cloud-cuckoo land’! For instance, announcements during the official visit to New York indicate their agreeing that the world’s number one priority is tackling climate-change – not the on-going genocide of Christians in the Middle-east and Africa!!

More importantly, such a dream scenario signifies seclusion to confer and plan in secret well away from prying eyes and minds – BUT nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account! (Hebrew 4:13 NIV)

Furthermore, let’s not overlook Neville Johnson’s prophetical remarks about these leaders activities during that visit (Why this September is special – 2: refers).

God wants to be seen in our wilderness experiences

Posted on by

JMK“I want to share the most supernatural thing that’s ever happened to me in my life” said associate pastor John Michael Kilpatrick when he started addressing online viewers of Sunday’s service at Church of His Presence.

He’s experienced things that were beyond comprehension at the Brownsville Revival, which his father hosted from 1995 – but last Friday morning was so “very special…I’ll never forget”.

John Michael recounts how he was awakened at 1.30am by a ‘chirping’ smoke-detector to warn of flat battery. After dealing with it, it just wasn’t possible to return to sleep but he lay trying to wind down and not think of anything. He tells what happened next.:

“God’s my witness – I’d never lie to you anyway….I’m telling you this happened – I’m not drifting off to sleep, I’m just laying there (and)

“Like a speaker came on in my room and an English accent – a man with an English-accent voice – spoke these words to me. He said,

“Would you like to see me in your wilderness experience?”

“I was so blown away I could not believe what was happening. I heard, I did not sense in my spirit. The Lord did not speak to me in my spirit – (tapping his left ear) these ears heard an Englishman talking in my bedroom!

“I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t alarmed, I didn’t freak out. I knew it was of God, sending some messenger…

“I’m here to tell you I don’t know what you’re going through but God wants to be a part of it…”

Listen to the full 5-6 minutes, beginning at the 1:05:25 mark on this archive video. This includes John Michael’s response, his brief man-to-man chat and declaration of break-through, and receive the blessing conveyed to everyone after he emphasises,

“I’m telling you: God wants you to see Him in your wilderness experience – alleluia!”

Maybe the use of an English voice means this is especially for Brits. But whatever, as an Englishman I seized upon this word straight away for application wherever suitable. Also, knowing others in the UK who watch CHP, maybe this word could encourage them too.

As blogged the next day, that morning’s Scottish Lion Bite Suddenly I Acted echoes and expands upon what the American brought. For example,

‘…the Lord says that this is the day that He begins to manifest into your midst that which He has spoken!…’

Lastly, this was highly amusing because we chuckle at the occasional funny oddities of father and son’s Alabama accents and love their friendly way. Leaders and members of CHP are very well acquainted with our accent from Nathans Morris and Marrow’s work during The Bay of The Holy Spirit Revival.

Is this my exploding Bible’s 1,000th ‘piece’?

Posted on by

This month is the 7th anniversary of when my Bible exploded upon opening it!

Courtsey StoonnIn connection with a controversy over an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in 2008 in Lakeland, Florida, I’d encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matthew 13:36).

So I went to check that scripture but, upon opening my Bible, I was hit by a deep excitement EXPLODING WITHIN as I heard,

“This is ALL about to be fulfilled!” 

I informed some friends and church leaders by email, reminded them about my earlier remarks on a sifting of the Church – and that Jesus had urged His disciples to look out for signs of the times (see The Endgame is now in play). On their questions about His return at the end of this Age, I noted Jesus stressing 7 times, “Watch…be alert…on your guard“ (Mark 13).

That was the start of my regularly writing about these matters. Just a few months later that decision was confirmed by a visiting prophet, and after a couple of years I went public with this blog in Nov 2011. (Sept 2011 was a turning point in UK according to Bill Johnson – as herein.)

Last Thursday I’d almost finished the previous post and, unusually, was able to dash it off on Saturday and continue with our weekend. But I spotted something! I don’t often look at the list of posts from WordPress’ working area or ‘desktop’ but I clicked from there into the listing and saw that post was the 960th of published posts.  Now I knew the blog’s menu has 60 static pages, and realised this latest makes a COMBINED TOTAL of 1,000.

Is it ‘coincidence’ that The most momentous world-changing events in 2,000 years?  is the ‘1,000th piece’ on this blog?  Or is it a ‘God-incidence’ confirming that the subject is especially significant in the Lord’s plans??

Most extraordinary, but it had to wait ’til I was back at my desk this morning. AND look at today’s Lion Bite “Suddenly I acted”  >

“I have spoken and now I am acting. My word has gone forth and now I am fulfilling”, declares the Lord. 

The detail of that prophetic word mirrors what pastor John Kilpatrick taught yesterday at CHP in USA about the importance and power of retelling testimonials of what the Lord has done, not only in scripture but in our own lives too.

AND more specifically, it reiterates detail of what his son, assistant pastor John Michael, shared about hearing the audible voice of the Lord, “speaking like an Englishman”

“Put Me into the middle of the wilderness you’re in”.

The Lion Bite has it: ‘…the Spirit of the Lord says that this is the day that He begins to manifest into your midst that which He has spoken…’

MOREOVER, along with that daily ‘Bite’ comes news of another prophetic word received yesterday that’s relevant to this post. It also includes an appropriate prayer for us:

“I pray that revelation will just explode in you about this!”  AMEN

LOL! And I was going to wait for the 7th anniversary of that first email on 28th February – good job I didn’t, methinks.

World-changing socio-economic and spiritual trends in 2016

Posted on by
2

A fortnight ago today (21 January) Rick Joyner, founder of Morning Star Ministries, wrote,

“The premise of my last Prophetic Bulletin on the five trends that would change the natural world in 2016 began unfolding faster and with more impact than I expected. I wrote that it would happen in the first quarter of this year, but I honestly did not expect it to begin on the first day as it did. My prayer now is that what I’ve been shown that will unfold in the Spirit will likewise come faster and with greater impact. What is coming in the Spirit is the antidote to the troubles of the world. It is far more exciting than anything the world has seen…” (emphasis added)

In referring to ‘natural world’ Rick means geopolitical and socio-economic realms. I’ll briefly outline that Bulletin’s content before considering its follow-up, which leads into something of fundamental historical importance that’s been brewing. Rick doesn’t refer to this special seismic shift. Nevertheless, it’s implicit in the conclusion of his subsequent Bulletin.

Published on 14 December his Prophetic Bulletin #96, Five Trends that Will Change the World in 2016, opens as follows:

“A geopolitical shift has taken place at the end of 2015 that could change the world more than we have seen since the collapse of the Iron Curtain. Core beliefs and values are being challenged across the globe. With such a major change of direction happening, where are we headed? The following are the five major events that will likely define our immediate future and impact world affairs for the foreseeable future….”

Rick presents these five in chronological order of occurrence, which isn’t necessarily the sequence of importance or impact, namely: 
  • China’s stock market crashes
  • falling energy prices
  • Russian military intervention in Middle-East
  • terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino
  • the candidacy of Donald Trump.

Having closely watched political events in the States with increasing concern throughout Obama’s terms, and thus being one of 300 founding leaders of The Oak Initiative, Rick’s brief analysis is well-worth noting.

Therefore, in looking at each of those five events of major impact upon the world and their potential consequences Rick starts, “First we will briefly discuss the most basic change factor in world affairs—initiative. In military operations and world affairs, having the initiative is necessary for success…”.  He goes on to examine factors in each case and draw ‘the bottom line’. I note his gentle indictment of Obama regarding terrorism:

“…most people are smart enough to understand the politicians try to come up with politically correct and expedient solutions instead of a real strategy. Even so, the Paris and San Bernardino attacks did a lot to wake up the people. This awakening is helping to throw off the delusions of unrealistic idealism and political correctness. This is crucial for sustainable war that will defeat ISIS and other groups whose primary strategy is terrorism. Although French and British leadership are waking up some, it is an awakening among the people that is creating a sharp turn to the right in Europe. Putin has chastised Europe for its attempt at multiculturalism…”

Read Rick’s brief evaluation in full here and note, as does he, that other factors are also affecting current events and trends; but the far more positive ones are spiritual trends. To continue from my above opening quotation.:

“We all “see in part,” but these are the five most important trends I saw unfolding that we will begin to see emerging this year:

  • A new reformation of the church will begin to take definition.
  • Councils of leaders will begin to form with true apostolic authority. 
  • A kingdom economy will begin to form.
  • A new generation of prophets and teachers will begin to emerge with unprecedented authority and influence 
  • So many Christians will rise up in Europe and North America with zeal and focus that it will be recognized as another Great Awakening, while the moves of God in the rest of the world will gain new traction.”

Continue reading Bulletin #97 here > Five Spiritual Trends That Will Change the World in 2016.

In particular I like this promise:

“…The Lord really has saved His best wine for last. The quality of what He will serve His people will eclipse anything ever experienced before.

“Knowledge has greatly increased in the natural. What is about to be released in the Spirit will mirror this. For those who love knowledge, truth, wisdom, and understanding, there has never been a better time to be alive. This increasing love for the Scriptures will be contagious, helping to feed and strengthen every move of God now unfolding.”

…as well as Rick’s closing remark:

“We are entering the first stages of the great harvest that is the end of this age. This will be the greatest in-gathering there has ever been. It will change the spiritual and moral fabric of nations, profoundly changing the church throughout the earth. The church is then going to help change the earth and prepare the way for the coming King.”  

His reference to spiritual and moral fabric reminds me of the open vision that appeared in front of me of Britain and hearing/seeing the Lord’s plan, “The fabric of society is so rotten – (like old, wet sacking) – it will tear apart”.

I then watched as the centre of England was ripped apart and forced open by a huge rock. That is, the rock that is Christ Jesus will arise throughout the land, becoming the bedrock of our nation once again – Praise the Lord. (See Comments Upon the Collapse of Society)

AND, in connection with Rick’s remark another truly historic and exceptional trend has started, which I reported upon last year. The next post will update you…

If you have time and inclination you may like some ‘prep’, especially the last item:

As He stood before me, I felt such a tugging in His heart, the only way I can describe it was a deep yearning, I was undone by the level of yearning I could feel pulsating from His heart….”

Lana tells of the surprising words He brought and, “...All in one moment I felt the purest form of love that I have felt…”

Also, this morning’s Lion Bites appropriately reads:

HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER

‘Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice! God is mighty and His love endures forever!

‘He brings healing to the sick because His love cannot be shaken. He brings breakthrough where there is lack because provision is in His name. He gives welcome to the prodigals for His heart is full of love. He forgives because of His great mercy and compassion. He brings wisdom in work situations because He is wise. He pours out His creativity over us because His creation is limitless and his ideas are inspirational. He blesses us with a clear conscience because He is our righteousness.

‘He brings strength to the weak, joy to those in sadness, hope to broken relationships, light in the darkness, direction to the lost, freedom to the captives, salvation to those who are seeking, straight paths to those who do His work and anointing to those who need it.

‘Whatever thoughts come to you today, whatever emotions pass over you, rejoice in God, give thanks and proclaim His unending goodness, His bountiful provision in all things and His incredible love! For His love endures forever!’

Psalm 136:1-2
Give thanks to the Lord for good! His faithful love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, His faithful love endures forever!

Dr Bill Hamon: 2016 – “God’s Spiritual World War III”

“God’s 1st World War was when He so loved the World that He sent His commander-N-Chief of the armies of Heaven and Earth as a Baby Human. He won the Battle for the redemption of Mankind and purchased His Church by His blood shed on the cross. He won the war against Satan, took the keys of death and hell from the devil. Gave the keys of the kingdom to the Church. Then His Apostolic Generals with their army of Saints established Christ’s Church in the world. God Won His 1st World War!

“God’s Second World War was to recapture all territories of truth and ministries that Satan had taken from the Church. The war began in 1500 and continued for 500 years, until all truths and ministries lost during the Dark Age of the Church was retaken and restored and activated in the Church. God Won His 2nd WW with the birthing of the Saints movement in 2007. In 2008 Heaven revealed to God’s Prophet that God’s 3rd World War was declared. From 2008-2015 – 7 years of intensified training and testing of the preachers and saints. 7 years completed the testing and Gideon’s process of elimination to determine who would be God’s Generals, Lieutenants and Warriors in God’s 3rd WW. God’s 3 wars correlates with His 3 Church Reformations. The 3rd Reformation Reformers have been chosen.

“This is a short summary of the 1st 2 pages of my 5 pages of 2016 Word of the Lord to let you know that God says, most of you have passed the test and now are chosen to be Generals in God’s 3rd World War. NOW – in 2016 – God says, your major tests are over. Boot Camp training is completed for WW-3. Now in this 8th year since God’s World War 3 was declared, it’s a new beginning and new level, where you will receive your greater weapons of war. War strategy for winning. Victory after Victory in 2016.

“This is your year to see prophetic fulfillment, great prosperity, increase in the miraculous – personally and in your ministry. Like Joshua we are past the “Achan” situation and now it’s victory all the way. Battles, yes, but they are all won. We are receiving the spoil and capturing our inheritance like Caleb did at age 85.

“Battles will not cease until the great battle of Rev. 19:11-21 takes place when Jesus comes forth with His Army of Saints and wins the final battle which ends God’s WW3. Then the Kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of Jesus and His Church. God Wins His Spiritual World War III.”

“I Am Ready To Pour Out”

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!

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

Simon_Braker-147x150A 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

Puzzle Globe and Book by ThanunkornDr 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_Tom_Hamon_2016_500pxJane 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.
