In my humble opinion this by David Robertson is essential reading for ALL who claim to follow Jesus Christ, and especially for church leaders… 

This months EN article…. 1 Chronicles 12:32 is a fascinating verse. It speaks of ‘men who understood the times and knew what to do’. In an age of confusion it’s clearly something that we need today. The devil’s tactic as the father of lies is to sow discord, create confusion and magnify division. It appears…

Veronika West: 2 prophecies today for the UK – the restoration of the broken

[Publ 26 Feb 2020]

UK: THE RESTORATION OF THE BROKEN IN A RIVER OF GOLD

A powerful dream for the United Kingdom!

“The clay, the gold and the precious living stones shall come together and shall become a vessel of honour upon The Altar and a carrier of the New Wine among the nations, for a great outpouring has begun!”

In the dream I saw a large clay pot that was completely broken and shattered.

I could see even the smallest particles of the clay (the dust of the clay) and as I looked at the shattered clay pot in the dream, my heart began to cry out at the complete brokenness that was before me. Continue reading

Veronika West: 2 prophecies today for the UK – Rivers of Glory, Wells of Revival and New Altars

Ever since hearing the word Veronika brought at One Voice Prophetic Conference two weeks ago (see section 8 here) I’ve been eagerly awaiting a fuller published full version. So I’m pleased to get her news of its appearing on her Facebook, as well as this version at His Kingdom Prophecy, especially as it may relate to several dreams of living waters of mine over the recent years:

UK: EXPECT NEW ALTARS OF AWAKENING & WELLS OF REVIVAL

A ‘now’ Word for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

“It’s time! For the rivers of My Glory will flow forth upon this land and the trenches of warfare will become trenches of transformation and triumph!”

I heard The Spirit say to me in an intercessors prayer meeting on Monday morning,

“It’s time! For the rivers of My Glory will flow forth upon this land and the trenches of warfare will become trenches of transformation and triumph!”

And as I heard Father say those Words, I saw deep trenches, even some ancient trenches that seemed to stretch far and wide across the spiritual landscape of the nation, and I heard the Words, “Denominational Strongholds!”

Then I saw what looked like demonic strongmen who guarded over these high-places. But then I heard the sound of THUNDER come out of the heavens as I heard The Spirit say,

“The thunderings of My Seven Spirits shall bring forth seven-fold restoration and reformation in this land.

“The strongholds of religion shall be demolished and The Altars of Awakening shall be built, and The Wells of Revival shall flow forth upon this land which has been divided.

“And that which caused a rift shall now begin to shift, and the land shall be restored, and the people shall be revived, and the five shall become the stones that go forth in Unity and Power to bring down the giants that have occupied this land!”

Blessings to you all.
~ by Veronika West

RB’s Note: ‘the five shall become’ – is this nations of England, Scotland, Wales, Ulster and Eire??

Status of prophecy in Britain in one sentence

“I’m aware of 150 examples of non-personal prophetic words and visions coming to pass in recent years, two dozen of which their text or images have been unwittingly repeated in the news media.” (Richard Barker)

And that’s only those known to me personally, as reported on this blog. So there must be many more out there of which I’m unaware. That number also includes over two dozen accurate prophecies on the outcome of the 2016 EU Referendum.

For details see Prophecies – Fulfilled, as well as overview in The State of the Prophetic in the UK.

[Originally published with The State of the Prophetic in the UK – 2nd edition but now posted as a separate preface on the document’s genesis and author’s connection.]

Do you know that news headlines and cartoons have mirrored two dozen prophecies by unwittingly quoting their text or image, even in a Prime Ministerial speech? Also, that their incidence has increased rapidly in the last two years?

Thus, not only actual events but also the way they’ve been reported has validated many modern prophecies, thereby giving prophets credibility. For example, presidents Trump and Obama unknowingly participated in fulfilling British prophecies! (See Appendix C.)

I was honoured to be tasked by Revd Yinka Oyekan of The Gate in Tilehurst, Reading, with writing a briefing paper for guests unfamiliar with prophecy attending the One Voice Prophetic Conference in Reading, on 8th February. The paper gives them an overview of the prophetic in Britain, together with some examples of fulfilled prophecies.

If you were a delegate there you may have seen it as one of two papers in their email’s Dropbox links, and which was done in collaboration with Geoffrey Pick of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival, and with input from Neil Townsend of Salt and Light, and David Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre.

That paper is now published as a second edition augmented with a two-years old prophecy of the conference, a brief summary plus extra material replete with links.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Through a ‘coincidence’ in mid-1980s, as an unbeliever I learned that Bible prophecy connects into modern events. Whilst flipping through a book on geo-politics quoting ancient Hebrew seers as a documentary on Iran-Iraq war was showing on TV, I saw their elite troops rehearsing an attack upon Jerusalem!  1989: a life-saving Visitation from Jesus Christ led to attending Tilehurst Free Church (Baptist), Reading. 2008-9: upon opening my Bible I heard, “This is ALL about to be fulfilled!”, thus started writing on signs of Jesus’ return. 2011: a dream on the Kingdom being set-up in UK prompted the launch of this blog for posting news on Biblically-relevant events plus contemporary prophecy and church. (Read full testimony at I’m Free!)

Formerly Reading Community Church, The Gate was formed in July 2005 when TFC and Groveland’s Christian Fellowship, joined together under Yinka’s leadership. Three years earlier, however, my attendance closed because I married Nina and moved.

Therefore, 17 years later I was totally surprised to be invited out-of-the-blue to join a working group to prepare for a conference Yinka was convening for the purpose of enhancing the standing of the prophetic across as many denominations as possible

Whilst discussing the plans in our first video conference a memory of an interior vision suddenly ‘flashed’ –the operative word! – into mind. So I dug into my files and to find the details, which I shared when first announcing the One Voice Prophetic.

1. SUMMARY

This paper provides an overview of the history and development of prophecy within the UK. By nature, it cannot be encyclopaedic and is presented from a personal, thirty-year perspective.

Prophecy can be brought from the holy, spiritual realm into that of factual daily life, thereby confirming a prophecy’s validity. This data demonstrates that not only are Bible prophecies coming to pass in our day, but so too are modern prophecies!

That is, today’s prophets have an established track record additional to that for personal prophecies. It is incumbent, therefore, upon leaders to know what the Lord is saying to, and expects from, churches, nations and individuals, as brought through duly weighed and tested prophecy.

In the 20th Century, prophecy was spasmodic but became more noticed and accepted with the expansion of the charismatic movement and wider outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Since the millennium, prophetic words to the nation began to come more often. Then during its second decade, the quantity and sharing of prophetic visions and words accelerated rapidly – and the timescales of their fulfillment got radically shortened.

Moreover, prophets’ predictions about two nationally historic events were diametrically opposite to ‘expert’ opinion, yet proved 100% correct. Moreover, we’ve witnessed a rapid increase in news media-mirroring of prophetical terms and images as prophecies are fulfilled. AND the present and previous US presidents’ have unwittingly participated in British prophecies coming to pass!

By 2020 many prophecies on what the Lord is doing in Britain have come to pass – 150 examples since 2011 – and thus validated by the news media! So we give Him all the glory for this and the way He’s working through this conference.

As indicated in the final sections, ministries and churches in many towns and cities across Britain are now open to prophecy.

Therefore, prophecy is demonstrably relevant to our national life and should be taken seriously by those inside and outside Church.

2. WHAT IS PROPHECY?

Prophecy (Greek prophetiea) is the ‘speaking forth the mind and counsel of the Lord God’ and thus a declaration that cannot be known by natural means – ie. a direct revelation from God. It is one of the Holy Spirit’s gifts to Jesus’ disciples

Although prophecy is ‘telling forth’ what the Lord is saying rather than ‘foretelling’ the future, that latter aspect is not excluded. So primarily, prophecies shape our hearts and understanding in order to sharpen or challenge the way we think, act and pray.

Apostle Paul referred to apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as ministers appointed for equipping and edifying the body of Christ (Eph 4:7-16). Prophecies through such recognised ministry carry more authority than those from disciples moving in Holy Spirit’s gifting

When received in gatherings of believers it is a protocol of accountability to submit prophecy to someone in authority for weighing and checking that it aligns with scripture and reflects God’s character and purposes. Another person may be aware of something similar from the Lord and confirms what is brought. Thus, by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established’ (Deut 19:15; reiterated by Paul on authority at 2 Cor 13:1, ‘By the word of two or three witnesses every word shall be established’).

So a word spoken as coming from the Lord finds witness within the hearer’s spirit; eg. In Acts 15:28 “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us…” for making decisions at the first Church council.

NKJV Amos 3: Authority of the Prophet’s Message, vv 7-8: ‘Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?’

As with OT prophets, words brought as from the Lord are uplifting, encouraging insights bringing hope. Yet as ‘covenantal watchmen’, today’s prophets may speak into the state of a nation challenging personal and political preferences and activities, as in the current state of widespread personal and national ungodliness.

A couple of observations:

  • “The Word of the Lord, or prophecy, is not solely prediction-based, it is to give the Church God’s narrative on nations on three levels: insight – oversight – foresight.” (Tomi Arayomi)
  • “When God is using prophets… they repetitively are tasked to tell nations where the nation may not be in covenant with another nation – it is a key function of prophets in Scripture. Prophets need to know which nation aligns with which nation. It’s part of our job description!” (Emma Stark)
Related Scriptures:

Matt 7:15-20 – Jesus’ instruction to be aware of and to test false prophecies
1Cor 14:1 – eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy
1Cor 14:29 – two or three prophets should speak and others weigh carefully
1Cor 14:31 – all can prophesy in turn, so all can be instructed and encouraged.

3. THE BIBLE PROPHESIES MODERN EVENTS

End-times are here, as foretold – even defined? – by Jesus: “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all peoples, and then the end will come!” (Matthew 24:14). According to Barnabus Aid magazine: ‘by 2,000 there were indigenous Christians in every country of the world’ (A History of Christian Persecution, Pt 12 – October 2019).

Other examples of End-times prophecy coming to pass in our day: Jewish people return en-mass to their homeland (Zeph 3:19-20, Jer 23:3-8) – increasing apostasy in church teachings (2 Thess2:3) – the return of ‘the days of Noah/Lot,’ as evident in gay-pride parades! (Luke 17:26-29) – waving a hand to buy goods without cash (Rev 13:17) as in today’s cashless society!!

4. HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF MODERN PROPHECY

It is important to acknowledge that fresh seed of the Kingdom was planted in Holy Spirit Revivals in Wales (1904-5) and the Hebrides (1949-52).

Appendices to this paper are linked to the author’s compilation of prophecies delivered over the period 1909-2017, as published in this site’s extensive Prophecy Library, and demonstrate the growth of modern prophecy. The rapidly increasing volume of material necessitated its discontinuance but subsequent prophecies can be found in this site’s monthly archives. All items are to be weighed with the Lord.

  • Appendix A: 20th Century – overview of Holy Spirit moves and major prophets
  • Appendix B: 21st Century – notes on significant prophecies and developments

Appendix A’s most well-known prophecies are Smith-Wiggleworth’s 1947 vision of future revivals and Jean Darnall’s 1967 vision of many local fires and lightning strikes. Many of their forecasts have come to pass, as examined in Geoffrey Pick’s Revival Prophecies – Where Are We Now? [The conference’s second paper.]

In the 1990s, his church elders advised the author that prophecies are normally put in a pending tray because they take many years, even decades, to come to pass. Thus, no-one really knew at the time of receipt if they’re accurate and reliable. However, by 2020 that situation no longer pertains because an increasing number have been fulfilled within months – even days!

The overflow of 1990s Holy Spirit outpouring within Britain made prophetic ministry available. Eg, teams visited Thames valley in 1996; author’s vision of spiritual ‘atomic’ bomb’s fireball rolling along the Thames to London gateway towns, confirms assistant pastor’s vision of 10 years earlier.

Geoffrey Pick writes on the situation after the millenium, “Prophecies were rarely shared outside local church meetings in the UK prior to the rise of social media. Even words that were significant remained within a local church or home-group. Individuals seeking to find out what the Holy Spirit was speaking could not easily find more than a few prophetic words for the nation. Many who received such words for the nation, as I did in October 2000, could not find a platform to share with others. It took 3 years before I found a place to share and that was an International prophecy website. In 2004, encouraged by others, I launched a webpage to bring together UK national prophecy, followed by UK Prophetic Words.

In 2001, commissioned by ‘father of prophets’ Dr Bill Hamon, Revd Dr Sharon Stone and husband Greg Black moved to England and started Christian International Europe (CIE). Their teaching and ministry encouraged the growth of prophecy in British and European churches. Also, by 2005 New Frontiers church movement was operating with a few recognised prophets.

Personal Perspectives:

A startling open vision in 2004 left the author needing advice. Its content was confirmed the next year by Dr Stone at a conference in Bath, one of a small number of places where local prophetic ministry was already established.

July 2005’s terrorist attack upon London was quickly followed by a profound prophetic vision and message on Britain’s End-time destiny brought by Wendy Alec. Having retired early from an EU governmental agency, this author noted her reference to Britain being entangled by the EU and God’s desire for separation. Hence, he began noticing prophecies on this topic over subsequent years. In addition, Geoffrey Pick published a collection of such prophecies on Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival.

In September 2011, Revd Bill Johnson of Redding, California, confirmed this author’s ‘God-incidental’ dream by referring to that date’s possibility as a turning point in the history of the Kingdom in Britain. Subsequently, there’s been a noticeable, increasing acceleration in the prophetic.

Three years later came a clear vision of an enormous bulldozer demolishing ungodly structures, which eventually began to come to pass after another five years.

5. PROPHECY AS JIGSAW PIECES & GPS

‘…on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed.’ (Deut 19:15)

Bringing prophetic ‘jigsaw pieces’ together

Being active in the prophetic opens one up to Godly coincidences or ‘God-incidents’. The author began noticing an increasing number of prophecies brought by various brethren within days of one another. It can be likened to pieces of an invisible jigsaw falling into place to present a larger prophetical picture – like a team of separated prophets bringing words and visions that fit together to give a bigger picture. [For about 70 examples see ‘Jigsaw’ tag.]

Also, like an aircraft controller at an airport, the author noted over 40 similar prophecies given in various places globally, as though heavenly Father’s got his own GPS system, ie. ‘Global Prophecy Signals’. [For examples visit ‘Gods_GPS’ tag]

One good example, published only days before the conference, tells of two ‘pieces’ that had appeared much earlier than others arriving together via ‘GPS’ – as herein.

Dr Stone describes such serendipity as a Biblical ‘law’ for advancing the Kingdom: “Amazing, accidental discovery! Wow! No matter what we do and what God does, He surprises us with lots moreeg. Pentecost” (see Ephesians 3:14-21).

6. PROPHECIES COME TO PASS

Monitoring the possibility of Wendy Alec’s 2005 Vision for Great Britain coming to pass and learning later of prophetic insights on the outcome of the 2016 EU Referendum, the author collected that data and discovered their accurate predictions confounded those of all ‘expert’ political pundits and pollsters – and likewise for 2019’s general election!

This led to the logical question: how many other prophecies are coming to pass?

So maybe another set of fulfilled prophecies could be gleaned from this site’s cyber-library, the listed content of which is available via Appendix G?

In view of the size of the undertaking, the author looked at prophecies in the preceding 10 years but time constraints prevented in-depth analysis. A list of fulfilled prophecies was compiled over subsequent years.

Appendix C provides links to 150 instances of prophecies since 2001 that have been, or are in the process of becoming, fulfilled. A noticeable trend relates to the Hebrews 12 shaking/exposure of the ungodly, including many examples on the EU, and increasingly includes national media headlines using terms (‘fox’, ‘lion’, ‘bulldozer’) that had already been given in prophecies!!.

Appendices D, E and F are documented prophecies on the 2008 Economic Crash (with copy news), on ‘Exposure with Big Shake-up’ in 2019 and on the General Election.

7. THE PRESENT & FUTURE OF PROPHECY

“For the first time in history Europe’s prophets have come out of their caves” – Revd Dr Sharon Stone (1.2.2020).

The 1980s saw a major restoration of the prophetic movement, and 15-20 years ago teaching and ministry was focused upon the prophetic gifting and not upon training anointed prophets.

Compared with 30 years ago, there’s now a wider appreciation of the gift of prophecy and office of prophet across churches, and many more local ministries across Britain (see Directory). Moreover, the prophetic anointing in Britain may possibly overtake that of America.

In 2020, “We’re standing in the greatest prophetic move in history…God is building His church on the foundation of apostles and prophets.” Dr Stone reckons a reformation in training prophets is now necessary in order to bring breakthrough and shifts in all areas within churches and the nations. Therefore, Christian International Europe in Windsor and Glasgow Prophetic Centre have started new training courses on equipping the prophets.

For some years the UK Council of Prophetic Elders met under Dr Stone’s leading. This has now been succeeded by the British Isles’ Council of Prophets, with Dr Stone and senior prophets and apostles on its Advisory Council. It forms a network of prophetic voices in Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland, Eire and the Channel Isles.

The vision, aims and core values of the British Isles’ Council of Prophets can be read via the preceding link, where its latest prophecies and membership may also be found.

Suggested Goals:

The following goals for prophetic ministry continue to be of importance:

    • Greater focus upon the spiritual state of the nation
    • Linking up of specific scriptures with prophecies
    • Increasing call for accuracy, especially on timing
    • Improved joining of prophecy with intercession
    • Greater influence across all churches and in society.

8. ONE VOICE PROPHETIC CONFERENCE

Geoffrey Pick advises that a prophecy about such a gathering was brought two years ago to the week by Jeroma Davis (13 Feb 2018):

“Thank You Holy Spirit…I am Seeing in the Spirit ….. A Round Table.. A Circle of Seers/Prophets/Deliverance voices/Pastors/Apostles/Prayer Intercessors and Leaders in Ministry forming a Spiritual Bond/Chain Link Globally that will stand the test of time! The enemy is losing ground as The Body of Christ is emerging with a Holy Fire that will never be extinguished. The Call onto Holy Ground will be deeply rooted from Radical Lovers of Jesus Christ as the Holy Fire burns deeply within their hearts! I see flames of the All-Consuming Fire going up into the high heavens as the Bride returns to Purity/Holiness in God our King.”

The stated purpose of One Voice Prophetic Conference 2020 reads:

‘We believe that God is still speaking into the Nation and the Church is responsible for bringing that prophetic word to the attention of leaders, people in power and those who carry responsibility for the care of the Nation. It is important that the word of the Lord comes out of a united ekklesia and we come together from our different streams to speak as One Voice. This is a space for influential voices from the church, business, education and other spheres of influence.’

Pastor Oyekan invited leaders of the Assemblies of God and, as President-elect 2020 of the Baptist Union, especially encourages Baptist churches to take prophecy seriously.

The conference morning began with extended period of worship for intimacy with the Lord and then groups gathered to wait upon Him for words about specific areas and for a few certain individuals, viz:

  • government
  • business & finance
  • international relations
  • emergency services
  • health & social care
  • church denominations
  • justice system
  • the royal family
  • arts & culture
  • education
  • media

Guest speaker Dr Mark Birch-Machin of Speakers of Life outlined a national prophetic strategy based upon the neurological communication principles of the human body.

Revd Betty King, Emma Stark and Veronika West brought teaching and prophecies. Of these, I particularly noted Betty spoke on the vital importance of dealing with buried personal issues that affect our serving the Lord (my wife had received a very effective personal word upon that in the previous week). Emma stressed we’re not to look for a repeat of the Toronto-style Revival because the Lord is already bringing this in a very different format.

In an unscheduled message Veronika revealed what the Lord told her during the night when He alerted her that we need to:

“Get ready, get ready for the stage is set for a spiritual showdown!”

After explaining, she said He will demolish false altars and build new ones throughout Britain where evangelists will emphasise altar-calls once again. Also, an unusual picture of a horse and ox yoked together shows that apostles and prophets will begin working together as teams for the Kingdom.

Drawing to a close, Veronika also prophesied about Reading being on a spiritual hill and of the Lord’s fire coming down. (Confirms impression I’d brought at the working group’s planning meeting in November and previous visions of decades ago, one of which I’d ‘seen’ like an exploding ‘atomic bomb’ with fireball rolling down Tilehurst hill and along the Thames Valley towards the capital, as told in June’s 2nd of four jigsaw pieces!)

PM’s speech validates Veronika’s vision of the UK’s New Day (FP #63)

Democracy’s Resurgence & Restoration of Sovereignty 23 June 2016 (credit+link to Archbishop Cranmer)

Guess it’s been a long month with my referring only now to the celebration of Britain’s Independence Day of leaving the European Union on 31st January 2020. However, and absolutely without any engineering on my part! – today’s date neatly fits this post into the earlier Yet again ’22’ pops up and Veronika West brings an insight on 02.02.2020!

LOL! Upon searching for that blog in my archive I see the number posted so far this month…22!

It’s been busy time on top of all those blogs. So my only action in regard to our leaving the EU was to re-publish Veronika’s vision of two days earlier of her being on-board a ship turning and heading into a New Day and New Dawn, as told below. I’m re-publishing with my added emphases to draw attention to the details and the way the vision was mirrored five days later by the Prime Minister in his speech on 3rd February – in a location deeply redolent with British naval history; the Royal Naval College in Greenwich!

For about a week now I have been hearing in the spirit a DEEP, DEEP sound of WOOD, LIKE WET WOOD that you would hear on the DECKS OF AN OLD SHIP, a deep sound of CREAKING, CRACKING AND MOVING…. it has come to me over and over and over again and every time I heard it I would see so clearly a MASSIVE SHIP MADE OF BEAUTIFUL WOOD, it was OLD AND BATTLE-WORN BUT I COULD FEEL THE GREAT POWER AND STRENGTH THAT LAY DEEP WITHIN ITS FRAME, this ship had seen many things in its time, fought many battles, some defeats but many VICTORIES, I could almost tangibly feel the wind and the moisture in the air and I could almost taste the salt on my lips, but as I stopped to give it my full attention yesterday I said, “Lord what is this?”, and the Spirit said…”THE NATION IS NOW TURNING TO FACE A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN”

….those words hit me hard and I felt such a rise within me and I could then tangibly feel the MOVEMENT AND ACCELERATION THAT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE, but as the old ship was TURNING IT WAS SLOW AND VERY PRECISE, IT WAS FINDING ITS BEARINGS, FINDING TRUE-NORTH, the MOVEMENT FELT SLOW… BUT IT WAS TURNING!…I COULD FEEL THE GREAT WEIGHT AND POWER OF THIS ANCIENT SHIP AND THE WATERS OF THE SEA WERE CHURNING, WAVES WERE BEATING HARD AGAINST THE SIDES….BUT WE WERE TURNING!..then suddenly the sound of CREAKING AND CRACKING WOOD changed, and I could hear the sound of howling winds and the sound of voices many voices, COMMANDS WERE BEING GIVEN, and then I heard “RAISE THE SAILS, RAISE THE SAILS”, and then I could hear the sound of RIPPING, RINGING AND WHISTLING AND THEN THE SOUND OF A FAINT FLAPPING which quickly turned to the sound of A MIGHTY BLOWING AND I COULD SUDDENLY FEEL AN ACCELERATION AS THE MIGHTY SHIP TURNED AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD…’(continue reading here).

Now, yesterday I received this excited email from Margaret H entitled the Ship Cartoons’ Extra Relevance:

‘Thank you for posting the cartoons and Veronika’s comment…The extra bit which I thought of straight away is the relevance to Boris’s speech in Greenwich on 3.2.20 (so hours after the cartoons and Veronika’s word about seeing the date of 02.02.2020) where he talked with passion about sovereignty, freedom and global free trade in particular.

Right at the end, he had the nation personified as a ship:

“There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail…the wind sits in the mast. We are embarked now on a great voyage, a project that no one thought in the international community that this country would have the guts to undertake, but if we are brave and if we truly commit to the logic of our mission – open, outward-looking – generous, welcoming, engaged with the world, championing global free trade now when global free trade needs a global champion, I believe we can make a huge success of this venture, for Britain, for our European friends, and for the world.”

‘His reference to ‘there’ follows from what he’d just said about a ‘global perspective’, by which he clearly means something which is the opposite of globalism. It’s part of the taking us back to our ancient ways and true foundations as prophesied universally. He didn’t use those words, but the whole thing is implicit in the setting at Greenwich, looking up at the ceiling, his references to our maritime past, the freedom from tyranny etc. He stage-managed it in true Boris-style. I looked at the transcript of the whole speech on the government website as well as watching it.

‘Veronika saw the ship before Boris described it!

Margaret trusts her contribution “will cause others to rejoice as well”.  The PM began his speech in the famous ‘Painted Hall’ of the Old Royal Naval College (known as ‘Britain’s Sistine chapel’) by directing his audience towards its ceiling (emphases added for ease-of-comparison with Veronika’s vision):

“It is great to welcome everyone here to Greenwich and I invite you first to raise your eyes to the heavens

“The Vatican has Michelangelo. Greenwich has Thornhill who spent 20 years flat on his back on top of the scaffolding, so rigid that his arm became permanently wonky, and he’s left us this gorgeous and slightly bonkers symbolic scene that captures the spirit of the United Kingdom in the early 18th century.

“This painting above you was started in 1707, the very year when the union with Scotland was agreed – and does it not speak of supreme national self-confidence?

“Look at these well-fed nymphs and cupids and what have you. They are not just celebrating the Triumph of Liberty and Peace over Tyranny – the official title of the scene. This is the settlement of a long and divisive political question about who gets to sit on the throne of England.

“And it is visibly resolved as you can see in favour of William and Mary and the result is stability and certainty and optimism and an explosion of global trade propelled by new maritime technology.

“And above and around us you can see the anchors, cables, rudders, sails, oars, ensigns, powder barrels, sextants, the compasses and the grappling irons.

“In fact the only important bit of kit that is missing is Harrison’s sea clock – also exhibited close-by here in Greenwich and also commissioned in the same era, that allowed every ship in the world to determine how far they were from this Meridian.

“So this is it. This is the newly forged United Kingdom on the slipway: this is the moment when it all took off…”  (Read in full here).

Therefore, we thank the Lord that once again a prophecy is validated not only by a news item but also through the location and content of our Prime Minister’s inspired speech. The prophetic vision’s final fulfillment lies in the implementation of the PM’s plans for our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Cartoons mirror prophetic visions on leaving the EU (FP #62)

As a result of Britain leaving the EU on 31st January Veronika West posted a couple of confirmations in national press of prophecies she’d already published on her Facebook:

Readers may recall the vision of the UK breaking away like an iceberg from a glacial ‘bloc’, as told here last June, then ‘confirmed’ in news coinciding with July’s Brexit May-hem, and again in October.

Declaration for the spiritual harvest

Click/tap image for link to Passion For The Nation and previous declarations

By Suzanne Ferrett of Passion for the Nation on Monday February 17th, 2020

HARVEST

‘Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper’ (Amos 9:13)

We declare across this land, this is the day of revival and awakening, and we thank God for all those who have already come to know Him in this season, for the miracles that have taken place and the resources already released. Now, in the Name of Jesus, we speak increase and multiplication and we call God’s people into a revelation of the openness upon the land.

We come into agreement with God’s word that we are anointed...“to preach good tidings to the poor … to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” 

In Jesus’ Name, we call forth salvations, we call forth Jesus-centred conversations, we call forth prophetic encounters, dreams and visions, and we declare our nation will not miss the day of His visitation. (Isaiah 61:1)

Even as God is releasing many ministries within the church, we declare this is a new season of the Evangelist and we call forth those who will speak to individuals and we call forth those who will speak to the crowds. We declare God’s people will speak His word with fresh faith, authenticity, compassion and urgency, as the revelation of His justice, mercy and goodness increases upon them; that God’s word will go out with boldness and clarity, yet sensitivity and wisdom, and the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ be heard.

We declare that grace and truth come through Jesus Christ and we speak the revelation of Jesus into the lives of individuals, families, communities and all cultures in our land.

Suzanne Ferrett.

The Revival Prophecies – where are we now?

THE REVIVAL PROPHECIES

Britain’s Christians have heard promises of future revival coming to the nation for generations, yet the long wait continues.

Are we now to give up hoping for a turnaround in church decline?

Can we really expect a revival to come suddenly, as it did in 1904-1905 in Wales, when hundreds of thousands were saved in a few years, swelling the congregations and igniting other revivals worldwide

The 20th-Century church in Britain saw a steady decline with membership as a proportion of the population shrinking ever decade since World War I. In a mere generation, Britain went from being a missionary sending nation to a mission-field. Foreign evangelists such as Billy Graham and Louis Palau took up the mantle for converting the nation through stadium evangelism. Even so, many foreign evangelists were not always received whole-heartedly by the British churches, who had failed to raise up soul winners themselves. It is noted that by international standards Britain had also been lagging behind other English speaking nations, by failing to encourage the voices of prophets. We are beginning to catch up in recent years, but as with evangelism owe much to the influence of other nations.

For many, it goes against the grain to assume that today’s prophecy can take longer than a generation to be completed. Most expect prophecies to unfold in their lifetime or soon after. The key points from prophecies below show that although incomplete, these words are already in advanced progress to being fulfilled. This is an indication that the prophesied harvest of souls cannot be too far off.

Prophecies for Scotland: 3 – Scotland arise, your time has come!

Leisa emailed last night that ‘The last two days I have been shown visions of Scotland on fire with Revival fires and this is what the Lord spoke to me last night:

THE SCOTLAND ARISE PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 10th February 2020

‘I heard the Lord say, “I am stirring up fires of My Spirit in strategic places throughout Scotland. And I have heard the heart cries of intercessors in Peterhead,” says the Lord, “and so My Sovereign Hand shall choose bulwarks which shall stand as defensive walls around those that are hungry for the fires of revival in that place. And though spilled blood upon the ground of that land has long caused it to be as an orphan and outcast under a curse, I am in this present day gathering her to Myself, so that she will weep no more. Yea, and I shall raise up one from the house of Fargus that shall have My mark upon their breastplate, and this one shall raise the battle cry, as an awakening causes a harvest and breaks the curse of the enemy. Yea, I say to you, Scotland your time has come!”, says the Living God, “and the armies of the Lord are ready for your battle cry.”

This was soon followed by, ‘I researched the House of Fargus after the Lord gave me the Vision and Word, and found that King David and King Fergus who lived in the 1100s and who were forefathers of the House of Fargus were great patrons and revivalists of the Christian faith of that day in Scotland, and now the Lord spoke to me, He is raising up another leader from that family line to lead in the revival fires there for the future. God remembers the faithful and will bless our family lines as we are obedient to Him. Hallelujah!’

Blessings, Leisa

‘Thought police’ cancel events with Christian speakers

I understand that, as below, organisers are considering suing the stadiums for breach of contract in cancelling the Franklin Graham events. Simultaneous cancellations point to well-organised opposition behind them. Moreover, they’ve achieved other cancellations on the grounds of what MIGHT BE SAID by a Christian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEREFORE, there comes a time when CHRISTIANS MUST STAND AGAINST these strategies of satan and its stooges AS WELL AS STAND UP for freedom of speech. Otherwise, we dishonour our forebears who lost their lives fighting similar fascism and defending our now lost freedom!

Also, failure to take a stand dishonours all those saved during Billy Graham missions to Great Britain.

AS the enemy is well-organised, then why can’t Christians act? Muslims won’t tolerate it, so why should we? Have you signed the petition yet???

“They said his message that Jesus Christ can change lives might incite hate and put the gay community in danger. So they launched a campaign to bully and badger government leaders into silencing the American evangelist … If we do nothing they will be successful in silencing Christians in the public marketplace. And once that happens—you’d better believe they will come for our church houses.” – Todd Starnes (author, broadcaster)

Breaking Christian News reports,

Since the original venues have broken our legal contract with them, we are pursuing appropriate actions based on grounds of religious discrimination and freedom of speech. The Gospel always faces opposition, so we will prayerfully and boldly continue to press forward so that the Good News of God’s love and forgiveness will be proclaimed in all of the cities we have planned to visit,” the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) spokesman told CBN News.

‘Graham is not the only preacher to be banned in the UK. The Times reports Larry Stockstill, a Louisiana-based evangelist, also had his appearance in Edinburgh, Scotland canceled after complaints were received over his Biblical views on homosexuality.

‘Despite the reports in the British media, the BGEA spokesman told CBN News they plan to go ahead with the tour.

“The planned Graham Tour is going ahead and is certainly not canceled in any of the cities as some press reports have indicated. The momentum for the Tour is growing throughout the UK by the day. We are continuing to finalize sites for the Tour to determine where the events will take place. In the meantime, all of the preparation events and training programs are continuing as planned,” the spokesman said.’

See also ‘The Wee Flea’ David Robertson’s The Cancellation of Franklin Graham Tour is a Seminal Moment for UK, which opens (emphasis mine),

‘This is my latest column for Christian Today – you can read the original here. I am grateful to Christian Today for having the courage to print this. For me this is a really key tipping point in the UK. All those who love liberty, democracy and the freedom we have to proclaim the Gospel – must respond. The time for being silent is over. You can help by sharing this far and wide.The CT article is a follow up to this – The Brave New World of Patrick Harvie and the Tired Old World of Franklin Graham _ It is incredible how quick this is moving. Destiny Church in Edinburgh has been banned from using the Usher hall because of ‘objections received’. This is a seminal moment.’

More pieces to Emerald Isle invisible jigsaw, including ‘code-breaker’

(For the previous ‘pieces’ click here and here.)

This post was drafted yesterday and scheduled for publication today with a title relating to prophetic code-breaking. However, whilst preparing to retire for the night I was struck that it’s yet another jigsaw-piece relating to Ireland. So standing under the kitchen clock I made a note to change the title, and happened to note the time as 10:12. Also, they can be likened to being received by God’s GPS (Global Prophetic Signalling) system!

In discussing the following communication from Abel Praise to Veronika West with her, I note it is solid teaching on spiritual territory, as was used in spiritual mapping and prayer walking by Reading Churches Together in the mid-late 90’s, for which I wrote a paper on Reading Abbey and the town’s early spiritual history.

Moreover, I sense in my spirit not only its ‘God-incidental’ timing but also it very closely complements the open vision republished yesterday of the Rock of Christ emerging in Britain. (I hadn’t planned doing that but realised it was helpful background to petitioning the Home Secretary about preventing envangelism.) Afterwards, I realised that title may be inaccurate for it’s not yet a completely fulfilled prophecy, but then I was encouraged that in its being a published declaration ‘nailed to the wall’, thus empowering it towards closer manifestation.

AND I was most surprised at Veronika’s quick response, “Yes!! Amazing confirmation Richard. I thought of that word too, that you brought on the Rock emerging. Strong witness and confirmation.”

Therefore, this excellent and profound teaching warrants your careful study:

THE PRIESTLY HERITAGE OF BRITAIN ESTABLISHED, THE PLUMB-LINE BEING THE ERA OF JUDGES, THE TIME OF REBUILDING OF A NATION’S SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES FOR EMERGENCE OF NEW LEADERSHIP
=================================

…It’s always so delightful to see the lines of the prophetic releases from The LORD in alignment as a deeper picture is given to know how THE LORD sets us as foot soldiers to march.

I am quickened to write concerning The Experience you shared of The Angel at the Boundaries of Ireland.

The first part of this vision is extremely significant – it is first an amazing confirmation of what has taken place concerning the countries that makes up The Nation of Britain regarding breaking out of EU; the recovery of The Priestly Heritage of Britain. The Priestly Heritage and authority Of a Nation speaks of the geographical authority of that nation; being the map and territorial boundaries that defines the sovereignty of that nation. The Angel with feet on the boundaries of Ireland; which denote the lines of the map of Ireland shows this is an Angel with Priestly authority; whose function in that order is now activated; and he is set to begin a new work with the Plumbline in his hand. Whenever the priestly authority of Israel was lost to the nations that surrounded them; their lands got encroached upon and they were either taken captive; or a strange nation exerts rule over them within the boundaries of their land.

The seasons of the priesthood of Eli saw the loss of the priestly heritage, then the Ark; and the direct result was that five cities in Israel [Ekron, Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath] fell under the hands of the philistines [1 Samuel 6:17]; but through the restorative Priesthood Of Samuel, and having led through a time of repentance; in getting them to dismantle and denounce strange altars; The Scriptures record that the cities that fell into the hands of the philistines were recovered back to Israel in the time of Samuel [1 Samuel 7:14]. When the priestly authority of a nation is lost in the spirit because of perversions in the priestly ministry, the geographic authority over the land is lost, and the effect is that land or those lands come under the authority of something else; even if they do not know it; because the priestly crown bears the geographic authority for the land. This is what happened also in the time of Israel’s captivity to Babylon. So first, the prayers, righteous warfares that have gone on to restore the sovereignty of the nation of Britain; restored it’s geographic authority; this is what the posture that Angel took reveals – standing on the boundaries of the land.

* After the Israelites entered the promised land, in Joshua’s time; the focus became the internal geography of the land; that the tribes were to gain; the first job was to “clean up” the land; to tear down the structures that pagan nations had established; that formed the systems and structures by which the land was ruled in unrighteousness. The gates, the high places, the places of councils, and network of altars within each part of the land that forms the spiritual structures and strongholds determines how leadership rises and falls within that territory to advance either a demonic agenda; and they were now to contend, pull down, and rebuild in a way model their cities according to the blueprints The LORD released.

Every tribe was to be allotted places with significant alignment to the character of their destinies and they were to build from that point. That became a new era in the destiny of Israel and they were ruled by Judges – This was the era of Judges in Israel’s journey to nationhood. The Scriptures shows that The LORD raised up twelve judges over several generations for Israel [Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Tola, Jair, Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, Abdon, and Samson] since Joshua entered Canaan; and the era of the ministry of Judges in the timeline of a nation is given to do the work of cleaning things up. This is what you see as The Angel holding a Plumbline and dropping it at the centre of the land. It means the geographical and spiritual structure of the land comes in view – the gates, high places, councils, network of altars – that forms strongholds that defines how leadership rises and falls within that nation comes in view; and this takes a season of labors and righteous partnership with The Spirit Of The LORD to accomplish. This vision shows this as a key focus as a new era unfolds for Britain.

* The Two Olive Trees: The Trees are symbolic for the role Ministers play in the work of bringing healing to nations. The Scriptures in Revelations speaks of the leaves of the trees of the garden as being for the healing of the nations. The Oil flowing from the leaves goes further to bring a deeper insight: The Phase of Cleaning up the land and contending against structures that has enforced the rise of perverse leadership when in process; will also lead to the ministry of The Olive Trees that bear the oil for the emergence of new leadership whose ministry and function will bring healing and restoration to the land. A successful era of Judges is what was predestined to lead The Nation of Israel into the era of Kings within Israel’s National Blueprint; and all that era was preordained to accomplish – being the building and establishing or a national character that became significant for the timeline of Psalmist King David.

* Then comes the key for this: The Mystery of The Ministry of Joshua and Zerubabel.

* However, it is undoubtedly obvious that a prophetic chart is being revealed by The LORD concerning Britain as a new era begins to unfold; and it is time for righteous labors that will bring both a purging of perverse structures and a raising of righteous structures that will be the new pillars upon which a generation of righteous leadership will emerge that will bring healing and set the nation on an onward path as a shining light as its true destined calling.

* These are extremely significant times and significant opportunities for big changes. It is such an honor to bring perspective as The LORD gives insight.

2004 Open Vision of Rock of Christ tearing through rotten fabric of British society

Previously posted under title Comments Upon The Collapse of Society, this is to draw your attention to an open vision and word from the Lord that shocked me profoundly, and which appears in blue text below. That the vision is proving true is evident from all the upheavals and descent into degradation of recent years, but we are beginning to see changes pointing to a re-emergence of desperately needed Christian values.

NOW, satan’s strategy of lying through its unwitting stooges is exposed but it is time for ALL Christians to stand upon the Rock that is Christ and, for the good our of nations, to speak out against its hatred and lies, as will be provided in the next post!!

Extract from pre-blog email circulated on Thursday 18 August 2011
Subject: Comments upon Word received through 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 saw in my youth. It seemed the Lord was saying the fabric of our nation’s so rotten He could tear it apart so 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 subsequently offered to several church leaders for weighing yet without any response! However, upon our attending a prophecy school the next year at Bath, I submitted it to Dr Stone who immediately agreed its validity.

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

Veronika West: UK is turning to face a new day and new dawn

A WORD FOR GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND….”THE NATION IS NOW TURNING TO FACE A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN”..!

I felt led to share the following with those who are praying fervently for the Nation of Great Britain and Northern Ireland…For about a week now I have been hearing in the spirit a DEEP, DEEP sound of WOOD, LIKE WET WOOD that you would hear on the DECKS OF AN OLD SHIP, a deep sound of CREAKING, CRACKING AND MOVING…. it has come to me over and over and over again and every time I heard it I would see so clearly a MASSIVE SHIP MADE OF BEAUTIFUL WOOD, it was OLD AND BATTLE-WORN BUT I COULD FEEL THE GREAT POWER AND STRENGTH THAT LAY DEEP WITHIN ITS FRAME, this ship had seen many things in its time, fought many battles, some defeats but many VICTORIES, I could almost tangibly feel the wind and the moisture in the air and I could almost taste the salt on my lips, but as I stopped to give it my full attention yesterday I said, “Lord what is this?”, and the Spirit said…

”THE NATION IS NOW TURNING TO FACE A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN”

….those words hit me hard and I felt such a rise within me and I could then tangibly feel the MOVEMENT AND THE ACCELERATION THAT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE, but as the old ship was TURNING IT WAS SLOW AND VERY PRECISE, IT WAS FINDING ITS BEARINGS, FINDING TRUE-NORTH, the MOVEMENT FELT SLOW… BUT IT WAS TURNING!…I COULD FEEL THE GREAT WEIGHT AND POWER OF THIS ANCIENT SHIP AND THE WATERS OF THE SEA WERE CHURNING, WAVES WERE BEATING HARD AGAINST THE SIDES….BUT WE WERE TURNING!..then suddenly the sound of CREAKING AND CRACKING WOOD changed, and I could hear the sound of howling winds and the sound of voices many voices, COMMANDS WERE BEING GIVEN, and then I heard “RAISE THE SAILS, RAISE THE SAILS”, and then I could hear the sound of RIPPING, RINGING AND WHISTLING AND THEN THE SOUND OF A FAINT FLAPPING which quickly turned to the sound of A MIGHTY BLOWING AND I COULD SUDDENLY FEEL AN ACCELERATION AS THE MIGHTY SHIP TURNED AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD.

Today I prophesy….’A GREAT NATION IS ON THE TURN, NOW SET ON A NEW COURSE…BATTLE WEARY BUT NOT DEFEATED, THE MIGHTY WINDS OF THE SPIRIT ARE NOW BLOWING FORTH UPON THIS LAND, THE SAILS OF GREAT EXPECTATION ARE BEING RAISED, THE MIGHTY WINDS SHALL NOW MOVE AND ACCELERATE THIS NATION FORWARDS, A DIVINE TURNING TOWARDS A NEW DAY AND A NEW DAWN, I SEE A NEW HORIZON…I hear the words,

“DAUNTED BUT DETERMINED, THIS NATION WILL BE IN THE FACE OF GREAT OPPOSITION AND EVEN GREAT THREAT, BUT FOR HIS GRACE….WHICH WILL BE SUFFICIENT, WE WILL JOURNEY TOWARDS UNCHARTED TERRITORY AND UNCHARTED WATERS, BUT THIS GREAT NATION SHALL ARISE TO A NEW DAY AND IT SHALL FORGE A NEW WAY THAT SHALL BECOME A HIGHWAY TO FREEDOM FOR OTHER NATIONS IN EUROPE AND BEYOND”..!

Brexit: state-of-play at close of Friday, 31st January 2020

Over the last four years David Chapman has kindly contributed several well-informed briefings on the EU and our departure from membership tomorrow night, as in this site’s Brexit hub. The following of last Saturday is a helpful, succinct summary of the situation but is not to be regarded as definitive. I append extracts from a latest opinion and some links for readers who may like to monitor developments outside mainstream media:

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AT 11 pm, 31st JANUARY 2020?

For several weeks now I have been asking this question, hoping today that buying two newspapers with headings such as “Signed and Sealed” would provide the answers, only to find there is not one mention of the facts in either of them!  At one stage some weeks ago I even wrote to the Brexit Party – with no reply as yet!

Leisa Ebere: White horse dispatch prophecy

Leisa’s email of last night reads: ‘I had been seeing the face of a shaggy, white horse for two nights in my dreams, then the Lord took me into an open vision and showed me what He is doing in this hour. Wow and Hallelujah!

THE WHITE HORSE DISPATCH PROPHECY

given to Leisa Ebere on 28th January 2020

I saw a white horse with tufts of hair all over it, and I knew that it had been in the wild a very long time and that this horse knew how to survive. Then I saw the horse rounding up his herd, even though several dark demons were trying to oppose him as much as possible. The horse was not beautiful, but I saw that he was protective and faithful towards those that had been entrusted to his care, and then suddenly I saw the horse and his herd stampede towards the demons and chase them away. After that, I heard the Lord say:

“I am raising up ordinary people and giving them extraordinary abilities, and these I am dispatching with specific missions to stir up My body to clear out the blockage that currently stands in the way of My People walking into their destiny. These anointed ones shall be free of all religious mindsets and be fast and efficient as My Words and My Power flows out from their mouths and their fingertips. These are My rapid-fire prophets that I am launching initially into Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, and then into the uttermost parts of the earth. And the hands of time shall be expedited as a result of their influence. I am Moving amongst My People,” says the Lord, “and releasing My Power. Get ready for upheaval and get ready for change!”
