Prophecies coming to pass in America 6 (F/P #25.4 cont’d) – UK Parliament’s interest in Clegg and ‘falling giants’?

Click to read Telegraph article (paywall: first month free)

For ease of reference, here are previous items in chronological order on progress in fulfillment of Veronika West’s prophecy of ‘falling giants’ which, in my humble opinion, crosses over with that on whistle-blowers:

  1. Clinton, Mueller, Comey ‘Russiagate’ farce
  2. Rotten US politics hits proverbial fan
  3. CIA whistleblower implicates Obama, Biden, Clinton in Baghazi deaths
  4. Newsflash Update – Whistleblowers – Biden family
  5. Facebook’s Come-uppance? – Payback time!
  6. Social media’s censorship of free debate

My readers in the UK may be interested in a couple of reports that bring this American issue nearer to home because of Facebook and Twitter’s unwarranted twisting of public debate. Those to whom this is new will find Cranmer’s introduction useful:

There is something rather sinister going on at Twitter. Readers will recall the daily news being full of serious allegations of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in order to influence (allegedly) the 2016 election. They may also recall the Steele dossier which was the foundation of the allegations, and how this led to an attempt to impeach President Trump, which failed.

‘Did anyone have any difficulty reading full details of the allegations on social media? The mainstream media on both sides of the Atlantic were awash with material about it, and it only it petered out when US Attorney General Barr released his report which found that the foundation of the allegations were murkily enmeshed with Hillary Clinton’s election campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The Steele dossier was discredited but it had served its purpose.  Continue reading

America falling giants prophecy – Facebook’s come-uppance?

Friday’s centre-pages op-ed of the Daily Telegraph and its World News section did not fail to grab my attention in view of my Newsflash: update on ‘whistleblowers’, as in one of Veronika West’s prophecy in its preceding post and in “giants will fall” – especially as an appropriate follow-on to my recent posts here and here on Facebook’s censorship (blocking my blog of John Barber’s Book of Daniel – his ‘badge of honour –  Jonathan Ely’s post on Chinese whistle-blower virologist as well as Veronika West’s prayers for Trump). 

‘HAVE you read the latest about Joe Biden, his son Hunter and the whiff of scandal? No, you probably haven’t, because the story has been whipped off social media faster than you can say “Left-wing conspiracy”.

‘No wonder there’s outrage. It took 16 years after founding Facebook for Mark Zuckerberg to decide that posts denying the Holocaust should be banned. But a Biden-bashing scoop gets zapped in seconds. Of course many are fulminating about the latest flagrant example of new media’s anti-conservative bias…’

Nick Allen, the DT’s Washington correspondent, opens his report (emphases mine),

‘Facebook’s Sir Nick Clegg was involved in the controversial decision to reduce the social media distribution of a New York Post story which was based on the alleged emails of Joe Biden‘s son. [RB: when leader of the Liberal Democrat party Clegg was co-Prime Minister with David Cameron.] 

‘The decision, which has caused uproar with less than three weeks to the US election, was lambasted as politically motivated censorship by senior  Republicans, who accused Facebook of “acting as Joe Biden’s PR team”.

‘Facebook’s move was announced on Wednesday by its policy communications director, Andy Stone.

‘It is understood that the vast majority of decisions on content moderation at Facebook are made automatically by artificial intelligence or comparatively low-paid contract workers. However, a small number of cases, which are considered culturally, socially, or politically sensitive, are escalated through a chain of executives. They go through the vice-president of content policy, and the vice-president of global public policy, and then to Sir Nick, vice-president of global affairs and communications.

‘A tiny number of the most difficult cases then reach Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook chief executive, and Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer. Decisions about Donald Trump‘s posts, including the president’s claims that the coronavirus was less deadly than the flu, are taken at the highest level of the company, including by Sir Nick, Mr Zuckerberg and Ms Sandberg.

‘It is not known who would have taken the ultimate decision in either of the recent cases.

‘The Telegraph understands that even decisions about posts by Mr Trump no longer always require Mr Zuckerberg’s sign-off, because the company has now had enough experience at moderating the president. A spokesman for Facebook declined to say what part Sir Nick played in the decision.

‘The row over Facebook’s role came after the New York Post published details from Hunter Biden’s purported emails, including his business dealings in Ukraine and China, along with personal photographs that included one showing Hunter asleep with a crack pipe…

Nick Allen concludes,

‘The president (Trump) suggested repealing section 230, a law that protects social media companies from being sued over content posted on their platforms.

‘Announcing the action on the New York Post article, Mr Stone said: “This story is eligible to be fact-checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.”

‘Jack Dorsey, chief executive of Twitter, said his company’s handling of the situation had been “unacceptable”.

‘He said: “Our communication around our actions on the New York Post article was not great.”

‘Josh Hawley, a Republican senator, said he wanted Facebook and Twitter to answer questions in Congress over the controversy.

‘He said: “It’s basically Big Tech versus democracy. These tech companies want to control what we read. They want to control journalists in this country. They want to control the news and we just can’t let them.”

In this connection Alex Alexander highlights Fb’s global control of free expression:

“‘Emmanuel is with us’ That is a very important word to me as elections on now in NZ.
Facebook banned an entire political party called Advance NZ. Two days ago.
They have had to take out full page advertisements in newspapers. (Emphasis RB)
Praise the I AM.”

‘A Tennessee Catholic bishop asked Joe Biden on Sunday how he will account to God for his support of killing innocent unborn babies in abortions. Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville, Tennessee has not been shy about criticizing the Democrat presidential candidate. Biden claims to be a devout Catholic, but he supports abortions without restriction and wants to force taxpayers to pay for them. He and his vice presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, are being described as the most pro-abortion presidential ticket in history.

‘On Sunday, Stika posed an open question to Biden on Twitter.

“At your judgment before God, how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting no limits and allowing all protections removed protecting the most innocent?” the bishop asked. “Will you tell God you supported the ultimate child abuse because of the American Constitution?”  click to continue reading

 

Major expose of ‘large-scale, organized scientific fraud’ in creating Covid-19 bio-weapon (F/P #10.13 cont’d)

First, we recall to this earlier news that got blocked by FBk’s CCP checkers.:

Further to my updates of 6 May, 8 June, 15 July, 19 August and 17 September upon hearing on 24 March the Lord confirm that Covid-19 is a “man-made virus”; news of the full report promised in Dr Yan’s censored interview with Tucker Carlson lies buried in the depths of Friday’s Koenig’s Eye View from the White House, which reads:

Trump with Covid-19 and global scientific opinion divided – is it coincidence or ‘God-incidence’?

In blogging briefly on the Belgian medical professionals’ open letter expressing deep concern over their governments’ handling of Covid-19 (Checking up on falsehoods… refers), I reiterated that I don’t have time for checking out conspiracy theories – and that goes for the widespread claims about scientists’ advice to our Prime Minister (some of which do make valid arguments).  Life’s busy enough writing and trying to keep up with events without additional on-screen activity – and we never waste time with the British Brainwashing Cult!!

Hence, re-blogging We Are Being Lied To by Wanda Alger and recommending anyone wanting to keep tabs on the issue to visit Spirit-Body-Soul (Facebook), where Jonathan Ely monitors a myriad of news sources.

However, I believe it is well to keep you, my reader, informed as and when appropriate, time allowing.

The UK Press, especially the Telegraph’s journalists, are highly sceptical of ministerial handling of the Covid-19 issue; as Daily Mail emphasises on Wednesday’s front-page:

It turns out that whilst President Trump was in hospital with Covid-19 on Sunday 4th October, a declaration signed by thousands of medical and public health scientists and medical practitioners was issued in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, as shown below (click image to read in full) – a noteworthy coincidence is it not?

ON TOP OF THAT, there’s more disconcerting news in the UK, as science editor Sarah Knapton reports today (emphases mine):

Click for link to read article in full

‘A re-analysis of the Imperial University modelling that led to lockdown in March shows shutting schools and preventing youngsters from mingling may have had the counter-intuitive effect of actually killing more people.

‘In a study published in the BMJ, Edinburgh University (7 October) predicted that over the entire course of the pandemic, keeping children out of classrooms would increase deaths by between 80,000 and 95,000. Likewise, social distancing of everyone, rather than just the over-70s, could cost between 149,000 and 178,000 lives.

‘Experts say the virus was able to spread faster to vulnerable people once lockdown measures were introduced than if some level of immunity had been allowed to build up in the young....

‘The Government locked down the country after Imperial modelling showed that 500,000 people could die and the NHS would be overwhelmed.

‘But Imperial had also predicted that no mitigation strategy could lower deaths to fewer than 200,000 without a vaccine, and suppressing the virus would merely delay an even deadlier resurgence.

‘The authors of the new paper, who rediscovered the figures in their reappraisal, said the Government appeared to have chosen to protect the NHS in the short term, rather than save lives throughout the whole epidemic. Although it reduced peak demand for ICU beds, it prolonged the epidemic, resulting in more long-term Covid-19 deaths…’

NB (RB): THESE SCENARIOS WERE KNOWN IN MARCH 2020 BUT IGNORED!! 

PS. Also see Sarah’s report of yesterday: Could children have been our secret weapon against coronavirus?

Psalm 2 holy laughter and great shaking of USA and the nations – Veronika West

REPRISE: pre-US election prophetic word posted 30 SEPT 2020:

A RUMBLE OF HOLY LAUGHTER THAT FILLED THE ATMOSPHERE, IT WAS LAUGHTER THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE THUNDERINGS OF A THOUSAND RUSHING RIVERS!

Published on her Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook around 3pm this afternoon 30th Sept 2020 Veronika writes,

‘While trying to catch up with some of the latest highlights this morning from the Presidential Debate, something amazing happened….,as I was watching suddenly, I heard what I can only describe as A RUMBLE OF HOLY LAUGHTER THAT FILLED THE ATMOSPHERE, IT WAS LAUGHTER THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE THUNDERINGS OF A THOUSAND RUSHING RIVERS….and as I heard this deep penetrating laughter fill the heavenlies, I saw in the realm of the Spirit the Nations of the Earth begin to shake and tremble and I saw the spiritual boundary lines of many Nations begin to radically shift and change…I saw the Great Mountain of the Lord shaking violently and all of creation on the Earth was awakened to the sound of His Holy laughter….!

Replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Amy Coney Barrett: an EPIC battle brewing? – Real Christianity

Readers wanting some background to Veronika West’s 2 years-old scripture prophecy on Trump and SCOTUS may wish to read RJ Dawson’s attached briefing of 22 January 2019. As ever, RJ is incisive and forthright in his godly analysis and opinion…

REPLACING RUTH BADER GINSBURG WITH AMY CONEY BARRETT: EPIC BATTLE BREWING? — Real Christianity

Prime Minister and media mirror “a stitch in time” prophecy – Veronika West (F/P #127)

Whilst Nina and I were enjoying a ‘mid-week weekend’ for birthday-cum-anniversary, Veronika West was busy writing about a prophetic word moving into fulfillment and I’m blessed to have been alerted to its publication. After my replying today she responds by way of introduction:

“The Stitch in Time word was incredibly timely and dare I say I have been waiting a long time to see it manifest in the newspapers. The timing of BJ report and his use of the phrase has come at such a strategic time. I believe both the date of the report (22) which matches the same date of the Needle and Thread/ Word and Spirit coming together and the fact that we are in the 9th/Month and at the head of the Year [ie. Hebrew year]… There is much happening and at an accelerated pace.”

Veronika writes on Facebook (Ignite Ireland Ministry) as follows with my editorial inserts and I’m humbled my birthday number ’22’ is of significance:

‘SEE; Two Links listed below of Prophetic Words I gave on a “STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE”…and “A NATIONS FLAG TORN IN TWO; A SILVER NEEDLE AND GOLDEN THREAD”..!

‘Well Prime Minister Boris Johnson refers to the ongoing challenges with the virus using this phrase…“(We are acting on the principle) A Stitch in time Saves Nine”. It was both a powerful sign and confirmation that the battle that is still unfolding CANNOT AND WILL NOT be won in the physical but rather in the spiritual and that the only answer and solution can only be found in a “NATION TURNING AND RETURNING TO ITS FIRST LOVE”…!

‘Furthermore, what’s also interesting is the dates of all these words, and how they connect, yesterday was the 22/09….both the day (22) and the month being the (9th) month, which I believe speaks to and confirms the significance of these words. The first word I received (SILVER NEEDLE AND GOLDEN THREAD) was also on the (22)….and the month that Boris Johnson makes reference to ‘A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE’, comes on the (22) and in the 9TH MONTH….as we know the Number 22 speaks to the HIDDEN MYSTERIES BEING REVEALED AND THE KEY OF DAVID…and the Number 9 speaks to both A TIMING OF BIRTHING AND JUDGEMENT WITHIN THE NATION..!’

Last week’s Global Prophecy Signals on new Church also include Canada and USA (GPS #51.5 & #51.6)

‘…by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established…’ (Deuteronomy 19:15) 

So eight would carry some weight!  AND now nine!!

As prophesied some time ago, Kingdom-related events – even when not yet recognised – are rapidly gaining momentum. I trust the topics blogged over recent weeks may have given us a perspective, or perhaps just a glimpse. Here’s a reminder:

THEN, along came Wednesday 2nd September and a zoom meeting of a new church in Farnborough awaiting its formal launch, wherein the pastor brought an insight on Jesus’ focus being upon His heavenly Father and His purposes; thus He commands all that’s of the flesh and the devil to get out of sight behind Him (Mark 8:33).  And that applies today too! 

THAT was followed by a series of confirmations – perhaps even simultaneously – within various messages from around the world, as though via God’s own GPS. It’s His Global Prophecy Signalling system in action; or it may be likened to a shower of jigsaw pieces that fit together, thereby revealing details on an immense invisible jigsaw. This capture and scrutiny requires the teamwork of prophets, sensitive others and scribe.

Bringing prophetic pieces together

LET’S look at those pieces (or signals) as well as a couple of new ones and note their origin. It all began with having nothing special to blog, which is most unusual for a day set aside for blogging. Then along came the signals, or pieces, that reveal something in the Lord’s heart and mind for His followers:

  1. Wed 2nd evening: Farnboro‘ pastor’s Mark 8:33 insight – mine seeing ‘pillar of fire’
  2. Wed 2nd evening: Helen McS contacts me on times and seasons and shares link on Prophetic Releasers to N&C Johnson prophecy of SAME day in Australia.
  3. Thurs 3rd am: I answer Helen, note her link’s relevance, re-blog as GPS#51.1
  4. Thurs 3rd pm: Sarah-Jane B, Scotland, “I am moving. Follow Me!” GPS#51.2
  5. Thurs 3rd: Wanda Alger in Winchester, Virginia, USA writes as below…
  6. Fri 4th am: Lynne H provides link to Chris G Bennet, Rotherham, on God’s line in the sand
  7. Fri 4th pm: ‘God-incidentally’ note Veronika West’s (N. Ireland) brand-new posting with more on God’s line in the sand – ‘pieces’ 5 & 6 posted as GPS#51.3 & #51.4.
  8. Sat 5th; Maxine Phyllis in Nova Scotia, Canada, comments upon my FB version of GPS #51.3 & #51.4 as below…
  9. SEE PS below re. Neil Mackereth in Winchester, Hampshire, England.

THAT IS, after the weekend I learn of yet two more ‘signals’, this time via the ‘Bridge o’r Pond’: one from Winchester, Virginia, USA and the other from Nova Scotia, Canada. (Readers may recall the ‘God-incidental’ blogs on the track of the 1999 solar eclipse ‘mirroring’ the Mayflower’s voyage and an invisible spiritual ‘bridge’ – see Astonishing! Previous Post Gets Immediate Double-confirmation!

On the day I was blogging on that special point from Mark 8.33, Wanda Alger also writes on it and, thereby, confirms the importance of this principle in When will the Church Recognize and Renounce the Political Pharisees?..:

‘….Lest you think our priority should be the Golden Rule right now, remember how Jesus stood up to the robed regulators of His time. Not only did He confront the religious elite, He confronted anyone who gave in to the fear of man instead of the fear of God – even His best friend, Peter.

“Get behind me, Satan!,” He said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” (Mark 8:33)

‘Instead of focusing on our measure of compassion for the weak or our ability to submit to authority, we should be much more concerned with the spiritual forces at work behind the ongoing political propaganda created by the Pharisees of our day. Our efforts at being peace-loving people and benevolent servants are being manipulated by a spirit that seeks to destroy us. Rather than defending a conviction for wearing masks or challenging others to submit to the law out of fear, we should be recognizing the religious spirit that’s still at work.’ 

Upon returning to my desk this week I find this comment from Maxine Phyllis in Canada on my Facebook version of that double confirmation:

‘During my prayer time this morning I heard the Lord speak something I’ve never heard anywhere else, and it’s based on exactly this: the Kingdom relationship between the Father and Son manifesting on earth as they are in heaven. Not politics, not empty religion that exists to serve itself, but only that relationship which includes Kingdom sons who embrace the call of the Father to walk with His Son the way of the cross…’

The legislative principle ‘By the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established’ (Deut 19:15) also applies to prophecy because the existence of an event or new word from the Lord is being revealed and thus acknowledged. We have EIGHT!

SO we need to take note of what the Lord is saying and showing in the ‘invisible jigsaw picture’ – and listen for more ‘signals’ and watch out for more ‘pieces’ to fall…

PS – AND indeed another signal was being heard that week in Winchester, England, as Neil Mackereth reports in Jesus Says, “Watch With Me!”  (GPS#51.7)

Midnight news confirms yesterday’s blog on Covid-19 effects

This news will come as no surprise to those who read my blog of yesterday in which I give more details of a report cited by William Koenig that foresees post-Covid debility. Naturally, I take no delight whatsoever in getting a ‘bull’s eye’ on this occasion!  So please take note:

Click image to read article in full

In the first minute of today a report reflecting my blog’s content was published by the Telegraph. Their science editor Sarah Knapton begins her report as follows:

“Long Covid” is genuine and leaves patients suffering debilitating symptoms for many months after their recovery from coronavirus, experts have confirmed.  Campaign groups supporting survivors of the virus have previously warned that doctors are dismissing ongoing problems or misdiagnosing the ongoing effects of Covid-19 as chronic fatigue syndrome.

‘But in the first study to show a conclusive pattern, researchers at North Bristol NHS Trust found that three quarters of virus patients treated at Bristol’s Southmead Hospital were still experiencing problems three months later. Symptoms included breathlessness, excessive fatigue and muscle aches, leaving people struggling to wash, dress and return to work.

‘Dr David Arnold, of North Bristol NHS Trust, said: “This research helps to describe what many coronavirus patients have been telling us – they are still breathless, tired, and not sleeping well months after admission.” 

The medical report in Koenig’s Eye View from the White House published 10th July states specifically (emphases mine):

‘..we will have residual side-effects and most likely more to come because we are asking our bodies to deal with an issue they have not faced before in all of humanity. No one is prepared for this. Not even those who most likely sequenced this virus know or understand the residual effects nor will they with the next Covid-20…’

PERSONAL NOTE

Once again, timing proves extraordinary and – even in perversity – demonstrates this is all part of the Lord’s ‘invisible jigsaw’. Being Thursday, today would be devoted primarily to blogging, and my looser schedule for summer-time means items don’t get written or replied to until free-time becomes available. I’d laid aside, therefore, any intention of re-publishing Stephen Mosher’s article on professor Tritto’s denunciations. News of Matt Hancock’s announcement, however, needed attention and required addition of Mosher’s relevant item.

It just so happens (!!) that we swapped our Wed and Thurs around for a coffee morning for a friend. AND it just so happens the weather co-operated too, because this morning was fine and sunny for sitting in the garden, whereas all yesterday was heavy rain and only fit for my being indoors. HENCE, I was able to see that news item and write two blogs on it and the related material – as here and then here!!!

Therefore, had our personal schedule not been re-arranged and the weather complied with both days’ activities, then yesterday’s blog would not have given a relevant lead-in to the article Sarah Knapton was about to write, if not already writing!

AND neither you nor I would be any the wiser over any of this….so ‘Thank You, Lord’!

Gov’t announcement hints at real cause of Covid-19 chaos (F/P #121.10.5)

Astute readers of my blogs will have realised the inference behind those on covid-19 as a man-made virus; especially when reading extracts from a letter sent to editor William Koenig at his desk in the White House, as cited in 3rd Validation.  Not having quoted the penultimate paragraph of that medic’s report in full, we now need to consider their well-researched, professional opinion:

The question is this: How do our bodies react “normally” to an abnormal bio-engineered virus? The answer . . . they don’t! Nor should they. This is not something mankind has dealt with over the entire world until now. Of course, we will have residual side-effects and most likely more to come because we are asking our bodies to deal with an issue they have not faced before in all of humanity. No one is prepared for this. Not even those who most likely sequenced this virus know or understand the residual effects nor will they with the next Covid-20, which we think will peak late September/early October 2020 and be even more virulent…’  (emphases/colouring RB)

Hence, governmental confusion and incompetence whilst endeavouring to protect citizens’ health in the best way possible! In other words, they’re trying to deal with a biological weapon. Hopefully, the beneficial outcome will be for nations to agree on the world-wide banning of biological weapons..

Therefore, at lunch-time yesterday I took particular notice of news of an announcement by the Health Secretary, viz:

Daily Telegraph Newsfeed Tuesday 18th August 2020


For the sake of clarity and in event of image not being legible, here’s the important content (emphases mine):  ‘…Speaking at the Policy Exchange think tank, Mr Hancock said: “Today, I am announcing that we are forming a new organisation, the National Institute for Health Protection

“The National Institute for Health Protection will have a single and relentless mission to protect people from external threats to this country’s health such as biological weapons, pandemics and of course infectious diseases of all kinds.”

“It will combine our world-class talent and science infrastructure with the growing response capabilities of NHS Test and Trace and the sophisticated analytic capability we are building in the Joint Biosecurity Centre.”

That is, we are no longer on the edge of biological warfare but now dealing with its application – even if accidentally released, as in this global pandemic. 

So, just perhaps, after failing to learn the lessons from Exercise Cygnus four years ago, the government has decided to hint at the true nature of this untamable viral beast?

Insights upon current chaos from Dr Sharon Stone and Emma Stark

 

Rarely do I get around to watching video’s but took note of a notification of his morning’s conversation hosted by Emma Stark of the Glasgow Prophecy Centre with Dr Sharon Stone, both internationally recognised prophets. I thought it was for a midday broadcast when I could be free, but after a power-cut to our domestic supply got quickly resolved, I was pleased to find a video was recorded and can be linked on this blog.

Their discussion focuses upon the demonic havoc unleashed upon humanity and brings in-depth scriptural and practical instruction for the Church on discerning and dealing with the wiles of the enemy of God’s people.

Therefore, these exceptionally encouraging insights are highly recommended for readers who’ve ‘awoken’ (as urged in my appeal based upon what I heard from – and tested – from the Lord)!

Hopeful yet warning word for 2020 and beyond – restructuring!

I’m grateful to my friend Geoffrey Pick of UK Prophetic Words when discussing Yinka’s vision of 2016 for reminding me about and permitting republication of this prophecy which describes unexpected, radical changes 2020 has seen thus far.:

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2020  – AND BEYOND

I saw a big city. Many high rise buildings that had been standing for a very long time suddenly collapsed and crumbled. In place of those disappearing structures I saw new buildings emerge instantly and very quickly. I felt there was going to be an exchange of structures and functions. This could relate to business, economy, political roles and much more.

The year 2020 will bring upheaval and powerful, swift emergence of new things. Long-established structures will crumble suddenly, not because of external destruction but because they have been in a state of decay for too long. In their place, new ‘towers’, buildings, positions, organisations and people will rise up quickly and with great strength.

This will cause a lot of disorientation to those who are used to the old structures and who are unprepared and undiscerning. It will, however, not be a big surprise to the people who walk very closely with God. They will have anticipated this according to Amos 3:7 “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets”.

People will generally struggle with disorientation as many landmarks they have used as reference points will be gone and other structures will be in place. The people of God, however, will have an opportunity like never before to reassure, give guidance and introduce God’s divine compass. Many people will listen to them, however those with severe pride and hard hearts will dismiss them and continue to try and find their way in their own strength. This will trip them up, injure them and the consequences will be severe in some cases.

Dead religion will feel more cold and carry the air of dark, icy death more than ever. Superficial religion will cause people to feel sick as if having eaten too much candy floss which pleases the taste buds but does nothing to nourish the body. True worship and the places of gathering where true worship is lifted up will have a new warmth and light that is more recognisable and distinguishable than ever before. Those who are hungry and humble of heart will flock to these places and cause the light to glow brighter and warmer.

This is a year of intense separation, and those who have camped on the middle-ground for a long time will find that it is no longer comfortable but utterly dangerous. The middle-ground will split and darkness will starkly separate from light, causing a deep trench to be created. It will be dangerous for those who refuse to choose. Even for those who choose blatant darkness there is greater hope of deliverance as the people of God will seek to establish flexible bridges to enable a crossing from darkness to the light. Those who have been camping in the middle, refusing to move, will fall into the trench which will widen and deepen fast. I saw the trench floor covered in tar pitch which will hold people down very powerfully and cruelly. It will be very, very challenging to leave that place.

Wrong priorities and choices will be a lot more costly in the days to come. Right, God-breathed choices will bring great blessing and reward. Dependence on the Spirit of God for EVERYTHING is absolutely vital.

Joshua 24:14-15 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” 

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” 

Revelation 22:12 “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

Vision of a great shaking and revival coming to New Britain – 2016

The close of the previous post refers to an extremely unusual ‘coincidence’ concerning Mabel Boyd, a sister at The Gate, Reading, and whom I knew years ago during my attendance there. As she says, “It’s so good that God knows our names!”

Upon returning to my desk last Monday I found an unexpected tranche of messages in the working group for setting up last February’s One Voice Prophecy conference. They begin with Mabel’s copying the text of her pastor Yinka Oyekan’s prophetic vision from four years ago. I asked about the reason for raising it and she replies:

“The prophetic vision came up on my facebook. I decided to take the time to re-read the post. I was deeply moved by the contents. I sometimes look at older prophetic words to see if they speak of what is happening in our nation now. I see this vision as prophetic in contents. I believe this word is active at the moment.”

Upon reading Yinka’s vision I realised it needs republishing as a development upon mine of 2004 – but then got bowled over when Mabel’s name popped up unexpectedly, when about to publish that post!! SO, the Lord’s confirmed it’s TRULY ‘ACTIVE’ and a ‘NOW’ WORD!!!

In its first publication on this blog I mused upon it being what the Pentecostal preacher-healer Smith-Wigglesworth and, 50 years later, his prayer partner Norman James may have seen of Britain in full Revival Glory (as told here):

A PROPHETIC VISION OF THE UK

There is a shaking coming to this nation unlike any that has been seen in a generation. A fulfilment of many prophetic words. God is about to move in ways that will cause the foundations of Hell to shake and the pulpits of the churches to rattle and some to be replaced. The normal acquiescence to what are considered cultural norms are about to shift.

I saw in a vision Father and He had stood up and was calling out the names of His sons and daughters, and pointing to the Cross and they came running to Him. On the streets of the UK, scales were falling off their eyes and many had a change in their countenance as they heard His voice and stood in His presence. They were transformed into courageous prophetic individuals fearless and willing to hold leaders and brothers and sisters to account.

I saw that it is not just political organisations that will be shaken in this season. I saw ecclesiastical structures and organisations being shaken. I saw crowns falling and thrones being removed. A grass-roots call for the church to return to the word of God and its foundational truth will take hold as believers become desperate for a Christianity that is authentic whilst embracing, kind but honest, pure but forgiving, reflecting of true holiness and unwilling to betray the Blood of Jesus Christ.

I saw city after city in a revival of a love for Jesus as the Glory cloud descends. I saw in the vision intercessors suddenly burning brighter, as if the Lord had turned the dimmer switch to its brightest setting, they became like glowing ones, like the angels. I saw in this vision flames of fire raging through the heavens as the tongues of prophets became like tongues of fire, a holy fire.

I see a deep conviction coming upon the church about its moral laxity and complacency, and I see the bride of Christ released from her constraints as Father’s love descends and takes a hold of this United Kingdom. And then I saw the streets filled with multitudes worshiping God with tears and with hands raised in exultation as the orphan spirit over the nation was broken and the nation turned once more to her Father in heaven.

“When Lord?” I said when I saw the vision and He said,

“Soon son, soon. Tell My people to prepare their hearts so that on the day of My visitation they will stand, and tell her leaders I want My church back, and tell My sheep in this outpouring that started in Reading, it’s them and their sons and daughters I wish to empower. So come to the waters and drink.”

For more see Revival in Reading: 1,200 People Turn to Christ in Just 3 Weeks

Upon visiting Yinka’s Facebook and church website The Gate, I noticed they meet in the building previously used by Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), which was planted by Carey Baptist in central Reading. I attended TFC from 1990, was baptised by Revd Barry Kirk and stayed until marrying my dear Nina in 2002, thereby moving to East Hants.

This reminded me of a vivid ‘flash image’ I had in a service at Meadway in the mid-90’s of a nuclear explosion but in reverse! It was about the time most Reading churches started praying together. I understood the image to mean the Lord’s power would unexpectedly explode but it would come inwards to the town and thereby get concentrated.

Let it be so Lord…

Vision of Rock of Christ emerging from rotten fabric of UK society – 2004

It’s good to get ‘space’ for mental and spiritual chilling in a rare ‘quiet’ period preparing for a long-needed break BUT I see not a few items brewing up!  They connect into the satanic strategy behind what I was blogging upon last week, the others show the Lord’s strategy of reviving old prophetic visions and words, indicated through His ‘GPS’  (global prophecy signals). Giving proper precedence to the latter, here’s the first item, as told in this extract from my email of 18 August 2011 to church friends and a few leaders:

COMMENTS UPON THE COLLAPSE OF SOCIETY

(A Word received by Revd Dr Sharon Stone)

Dear Friends,

Further to circulating a word received through Lance Lambert on the eve of the London Riots (see email 9 August) and Dr Sharon’s insights 12 August (original email and link n/a but amended Oct 2016), I was reminded Billy Graham’s grandson is coming to stir the youth of Britain in late September.

(HA! Only after having inserted that line to precede my comments written below, have I  just noticed its title, Will Graham Set to Rock the UK, alludes exactly to the climax of the event I’m writing about….)

Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of an open vision that came at the opening of worship at the start of a conference in St Albans in October 2004.

Before me I ‘saw’ a map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like old, wet coal-sacks I’d seen in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart easily. 

This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle, from about the line of Hadian’s Wall down along the line of the Pennine chain to the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled that the Pennines are known as the spine of England.)

But out of the tear arose a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.

[Previously I’d noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because of its rotten nature!!  That troubled me for I considered such to be contrary to his loving nature. 

But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert).  Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing.  All rather a profound mystery.  Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ. 

NB > the vision was soon offered to several church leaders for weighing, yet it evoked no response. However, upon our attending a prophecy school the next year (2005) at Bath, I submitted it to Dr Stone who immediately agreed its validity and called her ‘master-class’ to intercession!

2016 Confirmation: see Britain: Reformation Is Coming With Far Greater Glory.

2020 > LOL! LOL! LOL! Checking the links in this 9 years-old email still function I found Dr Sharon’s goes to The Elijah List AND shows in its Facebook ‘Like’ the name ‘Mabel Boyd’, who inspired me to republish this mini-series!!!  Wish I’d taken a ‘screen-shot’ as the name’s since changed upon my revisiting.

A Declaration over the Church in this New Season – Passion for the Nation

Click image for Facebook and previous declarations

CHURCH

“As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.”  (James 5:11 AMP)

We thank You and praise You for the work of Your Spirit in our lives through this season, we thank You for the new mantles You have given and for every new desire, method and strategy You are releasing from Heaven. We speak the release of every ministry into their God-appointed place and position – and we declare in this day: God’s people will live out of the fullness of the blessings received through Jesus Christ.

We come into agreement with Your word in Joshua 1, “I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses,” and we call God’s people into a new season of walking the land. We call forth those who pray for the streets and the communities, we call forth those called to bring healing to the land and we call forth those called to reopen past wells of revival and transformation. We declare the fullness of the Father’s love and His Kingdom’s purpose of peace and righteousness will be released across the land.

As Lockdown eases and the ‘new normality’ begins, we thank Him for the greatness of the plans and purposes He has for individuals to partner with Him to bring awakening to this nation. We stand in our true identity as the children of God and we decree and declare the power of the resurrection life of Jesus will overcome every work of the enemy seeking to delay, rob or destroy.  In the Name of Jesus, we declare over individuals, ministries, businesses and churches: this is the season of re-set, restoration and restitution, and we decree new levels of faith and hope will arise upon His people.

We declare His grace is sufficient, and we speak the release of finances, resources, strategies, and connections that every Kingdom plan and purpose will be fulfilled.

 

NB: We have posted some new videos onto our YouTube channel. I would particularly like to recommend one called – A Legacy Key – which is a useful aid in understanding the Christian heritage within our nation, and a set of three – A Tale of Two Systems.  This set looks at the fundamental differences between the worlds systems and the Kingdom of God.

Fulfilled Prophecy #10.14 – Lies exposed about number of pandemic deaths

SO-CALLED ‘FAKE NEWS’ CENSORED BY SUPPOSED INDEPENDENT FACT CHECKERS IS NOW VINDICATED AS BEING TRUE!!

Click image for link to article

This confirms what many have been suspecting and complaining about for months – also see We Are Being Lied To! by Wanda Alger and re-blogged here on 18th June.

Prophecy, politics, Boris and this blog

Introducing medical information on the bio-engineered nature of Covid-19, I questioned PM Johnson’s legislation for compulsory covering of faces in shops: is it the real reason? If not, then he should say so and tell the truth!

Readers who recognise how the Lord presents me with prophetical ‘jigsaw pieces’ as well as ‘God-incidents’, will appreciate the importance of this week’s three main items coming to my attention – all inside one day! – and demanding a lot of work. I was greatly relieved to discover it was indeed a ‘divine arrangement’, as indicated in this email from an intercessor:

“Dear Richard, I’m fwd this as it literally was the next item in my inbox after yours on the virus being man made…. another God-instance!”

Its attachment goes into great depth upon ‘The Great Covid-19 Deception And What You Need to Know to Survive’confirmation ALSO comes in its referring to what I’d omitted from the notes William Koenig published, viz: “Dr. Boyle has a great distaste for Bill Gates, Fauci, WHO, CDC and big pharma’s agenda.” OH WOT !!!!!!!!

SO dear reader, please be assured of the validity of my blogging upon this subject.

THE FOUR FFFFs

These are the four legs of my life > Faith > Family > Friends > Facts. After those are Biblical and modern prophecy followed by everything good in life, with all politics at the bottom of course. (Regular readers may have realised I’m conservative by nature and preference.)

So believe me; I do NOT wish to write on political issues, especially when needing to reduce valuable time blogging. Also and contrary as one may think, I’ve not forgotten those encouraging prophecies of Boris’ fresh term of office being ‘on Churchill’s chair’ – BUT both words clearly implied it would be for “a short time,” one even warning he may soon die! Praise the Lord that Boris survived his personally perilous attack!

Indubitably, the Lord knew of satan’s strategy for the pandemic and bringing widespread fear and turmoil. In fact, I believe it tried killing a pastor to whom the Lord had just given a detailed prophecy of 3 years of humiliation and economic woes for Britain!!

SO, events need to be addressed and my readers informed – and Boris prayed for too!

BULLDOG?

As a boy ‘baby boomer’ I became aware of politics when Winston Churchill resigned his second term of office as PM – AND that he and fellow Brits were of the ‘bulldog-breed’. Everyone needed backbone, bite and bottle to doggedly survive and win a dreadful war.

But at present, that’s missing in ‘Bojo’ and the British public – decades of liberalism and anti-Christianity have produced ‘wusses’; The Telegraph’s Allison Pearson agrees in her Compulsory face masks are proof the British bulldog has become the scaredy-cat of Europe!

MOREOVER, only today we’ve encountered crassly stupid and contrasting policies in asking coffee shops about their allowed facilities for friends meeting together!

So this morning’s news comes as absolutely no surprise!

The interviewer concludes with this revelatory, oral confession direct from the PM (emphases mine):

“I think it is more about trying to reassure those scared witless people that it is safe to go outside, it’s safe to go to shops.

“I think it acts as a constant reminder to everyone that this disease is taking over our lives and it continues to reinforce the obsession and hypochondria around one single illness to the detriment of every other aspect of life.”

In responding to a reader’s comments to Humiliating Muddle of Mixed Messages upon the BBC’s coverage of Matt Hancock, I write about Boris’ above remarks:

“This clearly implies the satanic origin of this attack upon society, which has come as a consequence of our rebellion against God and thus removing us from His protective blessing. I pray the Lord speaks to Bojo direct about the demonic spirit of fear behind it all, AND that he gets competent, anointed direction from the few Christian leaders who know how to deal with it and lead him as our nation’s political leader into repentance.”

Any Amens?

Humiliating muddle of mixed messages re. face masks (F/P #165.3)

Yet again Prime Minister Johnson has shut the stable door after the horse has bolted!

With deaths in the UK now at the lowest since lock-down began in late March and then after its easing, as well as over the weekend, the government and scientists have been giving mixed messages about wearing masks and creating confusion. We’re told that ‘experts’ (like those who overestimated the scale of the ‘Chinese flu’ pandemic) expect another wave of coronavirus infections.

So ‘Bojo’ should be eating the ‘sombrero’ he wanted to stamp down (ie. peaked graph of outbreak of infections) because we’re now back into its brim of very low numbers – yet he now insists upon mandatory imposition of wearing masks in shops to protect others from the exhalation of possibly pathogenic aerosol particles.  BUT, masks are known – and demonstrably proven – to put the wearer’s own health at risk by increasing carbon dioxide levels with the consequential undesirable effects of oxygen deprivation!

CDC is a major operational arm of US Dept for Health & Human Services

As hinted by not a few writers, this implies we’re now into experimentation in controlling the population. The ‘thin end of the wedge’ is being driven further in for introducing and preparing people for the Mark of the Beast, as in Briefing 13.

Furthermore, it’s all another indication of November’s prophecy about the institutional and financial humiliation of Britain coming to pass (Fulfilled Prophecy #165.3)

On behalf of Canadian authorities, Drs Joseph Hickey and Dan Rancourt of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association have made scholarly representations to the Director General of the World Health Organisation to again reverse its recommendation of using masks.

I’ve read Dr Rancourt’s other paper in which he cites two dozen pre-Covid-19 studies supporting his claim Masks Don’t Work.  He’s formerly a professor at the University of Ottawa, and so I enquired of my science contact there, who responded:

“There are 2 sides to the science, which is unfortunately confusing (and)

  1. This is not a peer-reviewed publication. So it is not as reliable.
  2. Evidence used is for respiratory illness, not covid or coronavirus specifically.
  3. Humidity factor does not seem to be playing out in Southern USA, where Florida is having a second wave.”

In today’s Telegraph, science editor Sarah Knapton brings an up-to-date report and, like Dr Rancourt, refers to randomised control trials (RCTs) in her considerations in Do masks work? Here’s what the science says..

Next, we’ll look at further news regarding this man-made virus…

Police Federation: ‘Unrealistic and unfair” to expect police to enforce face coverings in shops.

Prophetic warning and words: Battle for the Gates of the Nation

Posted Saturday 13th June 2020

A week to the day after Lisa Tierney posted a call to pray against random stabbings a Libyan terrorist ran amok killing three people in Forbury Gardens in central Reading, Berkshire.

Yinka Oyekan, pastor of The Gate in Tilehurst, Reading, posted on this prophetic word on his Facebook yesterday:

THE BATTLE AT HAND IS A BATTLE FOR THE GATES OF THE NATION 

(Last night I I started the evening in tears and deep grief and pain over the senseless killings in a beautiful public garden in our town, I stayed up to pray and Father downloaded this word to me)

“I am calling the United Kingdom back to righteousness

“Understand this, my heavenly activity always attracts demonic opposition. Therefore, speak to my Daughters, speak to Bristol, Reading, Southampton, Kent, London and Birmingham. Speak and do not be silent; tell my daughters to raise up their watchmen pick up their shields, strengthen their gates, gather their nobles and sound their trumpets, let her priests burn incense .

“Tell Bristol that she shall be a breaker of chains. I have seen her people throw of the stench of historic abuse, I have watched them cast down her idols and throw off the yoke of slavery. Tell Bristol I will give her a new identity, I will fight for her, heal her and restore her. Tell her to turn to me that she might have clean garments.

“A great renewal is coming to Reading, but it will be through much sifting. The Gates have been shaken, but I have heard her cry and seen her tears. I promised you My glory shall visit, and the time is drawing close; speak to Reading say to her ‘Fear not precious daughter for your gates shall be fortified, you were a place people passed through, but no longer, you shall be a place people flock to, a great spiritual awakening is coming’.

“Tell Southampton that she will be a beacon of light. I will ease her infrastructure and lighten her load, for she has spoken up and eased the burden of my people.

“Speak to Kent and tell her to get ready. She shall be a source of a new cultural renaissance. Call it forth, speak it out, declare it, says the Lord. No longer on the edge but at the centre of an artistic and cultural awakening

“Speak to Birmingham and remind her that she is called to leadership. Let the sleeping giant rise for you will be more than the heartbeat, you will be a source of great economic strength for you have laboured on behalf of the poor.

“Speak to London and remind her to be kind, to be patient to serve. Tell her watchmen, I am still in the process of redistributing power, what you see is not the end of the story, there is more to come, for the old power structures are being dismantled. But I will still strengthen Elizabeth for she honours me, I will take her along a new path but she will have to be a peacemaker for she fears My name, her wisdom will be called upon, and I will bless William for his compassion, his charity and his love for his fellow man, a man in whom there is no guile.

“Tell my daughters that as in the days of Daniel, angelic help is on the way. Daniel prayed with perseverance – do likewise.

“And Son don’t be discouraged, remember I am with you”

In the early hours as I prayed my heart was greatly strengthened my spirit revived and my pain eased although the deep sense of grief remains as I feel the pain of my town weigh heavy on me. Pray for the families affected in our town.

THE READING TERROR ATTACK; FORBURY GARDENS…”THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING AT THE GATES….THE POWERS OF THE ENEMY SHALL BE PUSHED BACK…THE WALLS SHALL FALL AS MY GLORY RISES IN THE NATION”…!!

Last night as the news broke about a terror attack in FORBURY Gardens in Reading my heart cry was Father have Mercy…,as those words came out of my mouth I heard the sound of the ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH….and I saw the FORBURY LION STATUE come up before me and I heard these words…“THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING AT THE GATES OF THIS NATION”…,as I heard the Lion of Judah Roar I saw a battle unfolding in the realm of the Spirit and I heard these words…”There is a battle for the Gates of this Nation”...but then I saw His Glory at the Gates….I saw the Captain of Angel Armies and a multitude of Warring Angels at the Gates and I heard the Spirit say,

“LISTEN!!! FOR THE ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH CAN BE HEARD AT THE GATES OF THIS NATION….BUT WATCH FOR JUST LIKE THE WALLS OF JERICHO THAT CAME TUMBLING DOWN, SO THE WALLS OF RACISM, INJUSTICE, DIVISION AND DESTRUCTION WILL COME CRASHING DOWN…I say to you Beloved, it’s time to Rally the Troops, to Awaken the Mighty Warriors for a Battle waits at the Gates…but I say FEAR NOT for My Glory shall Arise to push back the powers of darkness that threaten to overthrow the Destiny of this Nation…I say this Nation shall BE SAVED AND THE GATES SHALL BECOME A DOORWAY THAT LEADS TO TRANSFORMATION AND REFORMATION IN THE NATION”..!

AMEN and again AMEN.

Historical Footnote:

References to battle for this nation are historically resonant because centrally placed, the Forbury Gardens would possibly have been the perimeter of the Viking camp built 1,150 years ago at the river Thames’ south-bank confluence with the river Kennett during their invasion and attempt to conquer Wessex. The future king Alfred and reigning brother Aethelred’s army got close to the encampment only to be beaten back by the emerging Vikings (Reading Museum and Wikipedia Battle of Reading). The Forbury Gardens are situated on land at the western end of Reading Abbey, as established in AD 1121 by Henry I (see paper for town churches’ spiritual mapping).
