Laying the axe to the EU’s roots in Britain & Eire

I’m grateful to the Lord and Geoff Pick at UKPW for confirmation received this morning of the detail on roots quoted in the previous post; also and especially for confirming a dream (Ireland v Germany) and my musing (here) upon Eire joining Britain:

CUTTING THE EU ROOTS AWAY – BRITAIN AND IRELAND

At 4am on Sunday morning, 9 December 2018, I was praying for the UK, and asked what to pray. Brexit came to mind.

Over time after moving to the UK in 2017, I have come to the conclusion that the UK MUST leave the EU because God has ordained it, and we would be wise to do it so that God can make us (the UK) the nation He has spoken that we are to be. I prayed for the UK, the heart of the UK, and the heart/hearts of its citizens and residents, which are, after all, the heart of the UK.

I then saw a vision in which an axe was chopping away at roots, many roots, that were growing out from the continent, the EU, across the English Channel, and which were growing into the UK and wrapping around the main root, the tap root, of a large oak tree that represented the UK — oaks of righteousness came to mind; so the righteousness of the UK.

These EU roots were wrapping around the tap root and drawing from it nourishment and life, with the result being the oak being strangled, choked out, and stopping the tap root from growing deeper into good soil for nourishment. (The parable of the sower and seed came to mind.)

While draining the UK Oak of Righteousness of its nourishment, all the EU roots gave back were darkness, unrighteousness and ultimately death. [Side-note — forest trees actually do this supplying and receiving of nourishment in the natural world, interestingly.]

So, the axe continued chopping these EU roots away from the UK all along the English Channel from south to north, around Scotland, Northern Ireland, back to the southern tip of England, making a full circle to completely sever all the strangling EU roots. (See Luke 3:9 where John the Baptist says, “Even now the axe is laid to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” He had been preaching repentance, and was speaking to the religious leaders of Israel.)

This cutting away of the EU roots from the UK seems to be not only salvation for the UK, but also at the same time, judgment on the EU, for it would no longer draw nourishment from the UK, which was being turned to support the life of darkness.

Then, I saw something that surprised me — the axe was cutting these EU roots away from all of Ireland, not only Northern Ireland, but also the whole island – Northern Ireland AND the Republic of Ireland! As I saw this, I asked if this meant that the Republic of Ireland would be severed from the EU, and what I heard was, “Yes. Not one of these isles will be controlled by the EU.”

Then, the oak tree wasn’t before me anymore, but now an olive tree that spread its branches far and wide, bringing the good news, the true gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to the extremities of the world unhindered by darkness. And the oil of the olive tree speaks to me of the oil of the Holy Spirit being spread throughout the world as an essential part of the gospel message.

I also saw unfruitful branches of this olive tree cut off and burned in fire, and these were the unfruitful branches of Government, Business, the Church, Education, the Media, Arts & Entertainment and Family. And those branches that were bearing some good fruit were pruned to bring forth more good fruit.

And with that, the vision ended.

The sense I have gotten from this is that with all the choppings, releasings, and prunings going on there will be seismic shakings and changes coming in the spiritual realm as one kingdom, the kingdom of darkness, is deposed and the Everlasting Kingdom of God reigns again; and this will cause much seismic shaking in the natural realm — sudden, drastic, remarkable changes in society at all levels of society. There will be turmoil, as there is in any war, but the Victorious Kingdom of our Lord Jesus, The Anointed One of God, will bring such a stability and peace that cannot and will not be broken — to all people, believers or not, in some measure, but to those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High, a most full experience of the Kingdom of the Almighty!

I offer this to you all for your consideration and testing.

Footnote – also this morning seen on Change Britain: The Irish government, the EU and the UK government have between them made absolutely clear that there won’t be a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, even if there’s no deal.

The ‘May-EU deal’ and prophecies on Brexit

‘For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect has come then that which is in part will be done away…Let two or three prophets speak and let the others judge…the spirits of prophets are subject to the prophets…’ (1 Cor 13:9-10; 14: 29, 32).

‘Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast to what is good’ (1Thess 5:20-21)

Grateful thanks to the unknown creator of this splendid illustration

It may have come as a surprise to readers of the previous post that a prophetic word brought a year ago says the PM’s eventually agreed deal with the EU will be a bad one,  and –  as far as the Lord is concerned – it wouldn’t be such a bad thing because He wants Britain to become humble. Also, that purpose features dominantly in what’s regarded as one of the early important and most fullsome prophecies of Brexit. Continue reading

1 year ago today: is prophetic word on Prime Minister May about to be fulfilled?

A personal thankyou to readers who dipped into my post published a year ago today in  A Prophetic Word re. Prime Minister May and Brexit, thereby drawing my curiosity to its content. So let’s revisit and review its accuracy.

That blog republished UK Prophetic Words’ posting of what Ruth Grigg had received on 8th December 2017, to which I’ve added emphases in view of events a year later:

Word Regarding Theresa May and Brexit

‘As I was praying for our government, the Lord began to speak to me. What the Lord showed me was that Mrs May will step down from leadership as soon as she manages to secure a deal and it is signed. (This is the reason she was appointed by God, to secure a Brexit deal). I sense the outcome and its follow-up and implications will be handed over to other government ministers. I sense she will step down because of all the pressure, stress and strain that she has been under; however, she will still be in a governmental position, doing good for the nation.

‘I asked the Lord who would come into power next – what government? He said that it would be another joint government leadership, but that it would be balanced (ie. no need to worry). I just sense we need to pray for her more, and that whatever happens next will be a Godly move. We need Him to be governing and ruling in our nation. We need the next leader and government to be by His hand and not purely by man’s, so that our nation is led by Him.’

My post continues with observations on Mrs May made by James Kirkup, Director of the Social Market Foundation and former executive political editor of The Telegraph, on the same day Ruth wrote as above.  James notes, “Anyone paying close attention to the election result or Mrs May’s words since would have picked up her signals about her real intentions” (see The lady’s not of turning…so is this the package May planned to deliver all along?)

He readily admits “I haven’t always been the PM’s biggest fan” and his historical recap of her tribulations of 2017 continued to mushroom, as iterated in his update of 4 weeks ago. And since then the self-inflicted issues have gone exponential – including a third humiliation – leading to over 100 members of her own party rejecting her ‘one and only deal’ with EU!

Yet is the Lord’s hand in this?

It’s been a week of unprecedented governmental and parliamentary turmoil, divisions and international incredulity, as in this part of what Chris Wickland foretold recently:

“This country is going to humbled, and unfortunately the institutions which hold this country up are now going to have to topple. The things that this country feels that it has sure foundations I am now going to take away…

“And I speak now to the Government. They have heard the voice of the prophets. They have heard the prayers of the saints that have gone up for this land. They know the petitions of my people, and they have ignored them. And I tell you now, you will not ignore the voice of My prophets in this land anymore. You will now come to a time of humility, and you will be humbled.”

What Mrs May presents is a deal equivalent to ‘terms of surrender’, as implied by the president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker’s adamant “no room for re-negotiation whatsoever”. According to him, the Withdrawal Agreement the PM wanted our Parliament to vote upon was “the only deal possible”!

Likewise with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The news of Mrs May having met her today reports an official as saying that, in her view, “there is no possibility to amend the agreed exit agreement between the EU and the UK”.

Therefore, as Mrs May has secured a deal with the EU will she step down now, or will she remain until it gets signed?

Furthermore, let’s not overlook what Emma Stark at Glasgow Prophetic Centre heard the Lord tell her in November 2017 (emphasis mine),

“I will allow a bad deal for the UK in Brexit, and it will bring a humbleness to the nation. And in the humbleness it will be an answer to your prayers, because it will break Leviathan off you. And in the breaking of Leviathan”, the Lord says, I will rush towards you with revival and awakening that you have prayed for. And so the Lord says,Do not fear the bad deal, for I am in it, and I am disconnecting you to reconnect you.” And the Lord says that there will be a move of God on the back of the humbleness that is going to come to the UK…’ (Fulfilled Prophecy #24 – Brexit Humiliation for…)

So, there’s much to mediate upon and pray over in this situation as we’re nowhere near as humble as the Lord wants us to be.

In mulling this over now, I want to check how this may tie in with the outstanding Vision of Britain that blessed Wendy Alec in July 2005 after the 40 days prayer called by Chuck Pierce. It’s central theme is the EU and our leaving its control and regaining our destiny in the Lord. In opening up that long scroll I espy,

‘And the Lord said –

“A humble and penitent heart I will not despise.”

‘ – and I saw the words written – ‘DIVISIONS AND FACTIONS’.’

Now just where did I read those last words earlier today?

A quick check of my newspaper’s op-ed and lo…

In Tim Stanley’s opinion, ‘The PM’s failure to provide truly “clear” leadership is one of the reasons why, as Ken Clarke pointed out on Monday, the House is more divided now by faction than party, and the larger faction favours some route to Remain (a second vote, permanent customs union, whatever it takes’.  (The UK is not ready for any sort of Brexit, hence this appalling chaos)

Therefore, if what Wendy brought runs in a chronological sequence then there’s some strong hope! It goes on to prophesy national repentance and the Lord bringing Britain into its end-time destiny, a new leadership and “LIONHEART” declared over the UK.

Selah!

A warning of shifting of nations, sifting of hearts + renewal, rebuilding, revival

In mulling over the weekend recent prophetical words and what the Lord may be about to do in ours and Europe’s political leaders, there came a distinct desire to ask the Lord to send His Spirit of the Fear of the Lord upon them, especially on Brussels and Dublin. Weigh with Him a tranche of inter-related visionary words Veronika West posted on her Ignite Ireland (YES do it Lord!) Ministry since Thursday’s word for the UK & NI told us about a divine unravelling taking place and collapse of our opponents’ ‘chariots’. They are words to wait upon, not only to check her anointing but also to await expectantly.: 

(Friday 7th Dec) DO YOU FEEL IT????
YES!! It’s the frequency of a DIVINE DISRUPTION ITS THE SHIFTING OF A NATION IT’S THE SIFTING OF HEARTS, IT’S THE STIRRING OF THE WATERS OF REVIVAL AND RESTORATION IT’S THE MOVEMENT OF HIS GLORY AND MAJESTY BEGINNING TO INVADE, IT’S A CHANGING OF THE GUARDS, WATCH! A SUDDEN REMOVAL AND A NEW RE-INSTATING WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE GOVERNMENT!

(Sat 8th Dec at 16:04) ALL MORNING I HAVE HEARD THE SOUND OF THE CRACK OF A WHIP.  AS I ENQUIRED OF THE LORD I HEARD THE SPIRIT SAY, “WATCH AS I TURN THE TABLES ON THE ENEMY, WATCH AS MY RIGHTEOUS ANGER BEGINS TO MANIFEST IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, FOR MY GLORY COMES TO CLEAN HOUSE”!

(Sat 8th Dec at  17:33) “WE HAVE ENTERED INTO A BUILDING SEASON IN THE EARTH, ENTER IN; DIVINE ACCESS, ACCELERATION AND A NEW LEVEL OF ANOINTING IS NOW BEING RELEASED”!

ALL DAY YESTERDAY PAPA WAS SPEAKING TO ME OF A COMMISSIONING ANOINTING BEING RELEASED OVER THE NATIONS, I ALSO HEARD HIM SAY “WATCH! A GATEWAY AND A DOORWAY IS NOW OPENING UP BEFORE MY PEOPLE FOR A NEHEMIAHS ANOINTING IS NOW BEING RELEASED, ENTER IN, ENTER IN, ENTER IN, FOR MY PEOPLE ARE NOW ENTERING INTO A BUILDING SEASON FOR THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TORN DOWN AND UPROOTED WILL NOW BE REBUILT, RESTORED, RENEWED AND REVIVED, FOR THIS IS A MOMENT OF DIVINE ACCESS AND ACCELERATION AND A NEW LEVEL OF ANOINTING TO BUILD AND TO PLANT IS NOW BEING RELEASED OVER THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH…”!

(Sat 8th Dec at 21:11) A WORD OF WARNING TO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH…!

I hear the Spirit of God say, “WATCH AND PRAY FOR THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH, THESE ARE THE DAYS OF SUDDEN AND SEVERE SHAKINGS IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, FOR A DIVINE DISMANTLING IS NOW GIVING WAY TO EVEN GREATER DESTRUCTION IN THE NATIONS, BUT FEAR NOT FOR MY RIGHTEOUS ANGER BURNS HOT AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF THE LIVING GOD, WATCH! FOR NOW I AM DOING A NEW THING IN THE MIDST OF YOU, A THING THAT SHALL ASTONISH AND ASTOUND, A THING THAT SHALL CONFUSE AND CONFOUND, A THING THAT IS STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS, EYES HAVE NOT SEEN AND EARS HAVE NOT HEARD AND MINDS COULD NOT CONCEIVE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, NOW WATCH!

“AS THE MOLES ARE DRIVEN OUT OF THEIR HOLES AND THE BLACK SNAKES EMERGE FROM THE DARKNESS OF THEIR CAVES, LISTEN! FOR MANY WILL CRY OUT “THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE, THERE IS NO WAY OF ESCAPE”, BUT SURELY I TELL YOU THAT THEIR WORKS OF WICKEDNESS AND THEIR ACTS OF EVIL HAVE COME UP BEFORE ME ONCE AGAIN AS AN ABOMINATION. WATCH AND PAY ATTENTION! FOR THE GAVEL OF MY JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS NOW FALLS UPON THE HEADS OF THE WICKED SENTENCING THEM TO AN ETERNAL SEPARATION, I TELL YOU THE TRUTH I SHALL EVEN FORGET THE DAY THAT I CREATED THEM”, says the Spirit of the Living God.

When I received this word today I was physically shaken to my core as the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord came upon me. I began to cry out to the Father to show Mercy for it was shown to me in but a fleeting moment what lay in store for those who have killed the unborn and those who have defied the ways of the Living God in the Nations, and then suddenly I saw into the realm of the Spirit where I saw two Archangels of the Lord, one had the appearance of a pillar of blazing Fire and the other held a sharp sickle in his hand, as I dared to look upon them I saw that they were standing between heaven and hell they were standing READY TO GO INTO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH!

(Sunday 9th Dec) GET READY, GET READY, GET READY…; FOR WE HAVE ENTERED INTO A THIN PLACE, HIS GLORY AND POWER SHALL BE AT OUR FINGERTIPS…!

IN THIS HOUR I HAVE BEEN ‘PRESSING IN’ LIKE NEVER BEFORE, RESISTING EVERY DEMONIC DISTRACTION THAT SEEKS TO DERAIL AND DELAY, I HAVE BECOME EVEN MORE INTENTIONAL ABOUT ‘PUSHING THROUGH’ FOR AN EVEN GREATER MEASURE AND LEVEL OF HIS GLORY.

TODAY, AS I PRESSED IN AND AS I PUSHED THROUGH, SUDDENLY THE VEIL BETWEEN THE EARTHLY REALM AND THE UNSEEN REALM BECAME PAPER- THIN, AS I REACHED OUT I COULD TANGIBLY FEEL THE GLORY OF THE LORD AT MY FINGER TIPS, AS I TOUCHED THE GLORY I IMMEDIATELY TASTED SWEET HONEY ON MY LIPS AND I COULD SMELL THE FRAGRANCE OF HIS PRESENCE WHICH WAS INTOXICATING AND ALMOST OVERWHELMING, MY SENSES WERE INSTANTLY REIGNITED AND INSTANTLY RE-ENERGISED, I COULD BARELY STAND TO TOUCH THE GLORY FOR MORE THAN A JUST FEW SECONDS AS I FEARED I MAY BE CONSUMED BY ITS POWER.

GET READY!! FOR THE POWER THAT IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED INTO THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH IS COMING WITH SUCH A WEIGHT AND INDESCRIBABLE WONDER THAT MANY ARE GOING TO BE SUDDENLY SWEPT UP AND CARRIED AWAY INTO AN EVEN DEEPER REALM AND DIMENSION OF HIS GLORY THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

GET READY, FOR THE TIME OF DIVINE VISITATION IS HERE, ITS TIME TO ENTER IN AND ACCESS THAT WHICH HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS…!

So, keep watching the disturbing saga of the EU’s Withdrawal Agreement unravel…

A prophetical banner-headline for Prime Minister May?

Daily Telegraph’s front page headline, Monday 10th December 2018

The Telegraph’s editor presumes Mrs May prayed for divine help in church yesterday!

Well, Jesus did give instruction on how to pray to our heavenly Father, including to ask for ‘deliverance from the evil one’! – “and no (ie reverse) you-may-be-into-carrying us into trial but rescue-you us from the wicked-one…”  [Matthew 6:13, Literal Greek]

It’s an interesting headline in view of not only many words of prophecy but also a couple of contributions to this blog on The Lifeguard and on The ‘Rescue’. And a friend informs me of seeing a financial advisor’s proposal to investors for an ‘Exodus Strategy’!

As the 2016 Referendum vote was an Act of God, one that even challenges churches, we know that the reality of Britain’s leaving and be freed from the shackles of the EU is one gi-normous spiritual battle. Therefore, we know Mrs May’s ‘deliverance’ is not so much from politicians and leaders, whether here or abroad, as from ungodly spirits that use them for satanic strategies and purposes.

Moreover, many were praying for as well as making prophetic declarations over the PM, her government and all MPs yesterday, eg. Catch The Fire Bournemouth (see National Day of Prayer Fb reports), Call The Nation To Prayer etc; as well as daily declarations of Passion For The Nation’s 12-Days to Shape a Nation.

AND today is the 40th day since Chuck Pierce brought a powerful prophetic promise and decree especially for London, during this critical time in our national history:

“Angels are above you, aligning you around this city, to move in ways they’ve not moved…It’s been 13 years since I felt like this about this city – God’s eye is on this city right now. He’s watching you and He’s moving in the city.

“I’m here to announce to you; there will be an alignment of angelic hosts after the next 40 days that will help you…

“Lord, I decree: in the next 40 days there will be a rolling away (of the old season and its reproaches, thus removing whatever the enemy can use to manifest as you move). You are starting anew and afresh!”  [Read full transcript here.]

I recall the astonishing and alarming accuracy of the word he brought in 2005 (as here and here) at the time of Big Ben inexplicably and coincidentally stopping, and the gross outrage committed my maniacal muslims on the 40th day, all of which was followed by an extensive vision for Wendy Alec about Britain breaking free of the EU’s shackles.

SO, LORD BLESS AND MAKE THIS WEEK EVEN MORE REMARKABLE!

Veronika West: word for Great Britain and Northern Ireland

LOL and there was I making a quip that morning to the newsagent about the old song “Three Wheels On My Wagon…” (‘and I’m still rolling along…one wheel left…’ etc) 

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND: “ITS TIME TO LOOK AND LOOK AGAIN; WATCH AS A DIVINE UNRAVELLING BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE, WATCH! AS THE WHEELS OF THE CHARIOTS NOW BEGIN TO COME LOOSE, WATCH! AS THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER ARE BROUGHT DOWN AND DESTROYED”!

During a time of prayer this evening I heard the Spirit of God say to the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND,

“IT’S TIME TO LOOK AND LOOK AGAIN, FEAR NOT!! FOR GREATER ARE THOSE THAT ARE WITH YOU THAN THOSE THAT ARE NOW COMING AGAINST YOU, MY BELOVED IT’S TIME TO LOOK AND LOOK AGAIN, OPEN YOUR EYES IT’S TIME TO SEE BEYOND THE CHAOS, THE CONFUSION AND THE COUNTERFEIT FORCES OF DARKNESS THAT ARE AT WORK IN THE MIDST OF YOU, LISTEN, WATCH AND PRAY, FOR IT’S TIME TO LOOK AND LOOK AGAIN, FOR A NEW WAY AND A NEW DAY IS NOW BREAKING OPEN BEFORE YOU, WATCH AS A DIVINE UNRAVELLING BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE, WATCH! AS THE WHEELS OF THE CHARIOTS NOW BEGIN TO COME LOOSE, WATCH! AS THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER ARE BROUGHT DOWN AND DESTROYED, WATCH! AS I THE LORD OF ANGEL ARMIES, YES! I THE LORD OF SABAOTH WILL NOW ARISE OVER THIS NATION, FOR RIVERS OF MY GLORY ARE NOW RUSHING IN”!

PAPA GAVE ME PSALMS 2 AS A ‘NOW’ DECLARATION OVER THE NATION;

The Nations Speak

2 How dare the nations plan a rebellion.
Their foolish plots are futile!
2 Look at how the power brokers of the world
rise up to hold their summit
as the rulers scheme and confer together
against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying:
3 “Let’s come together and break away from the Creator.
Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains
of God and his Christ!”

Act II – God Speaks

4 God-Enthroned merely laughs at them;
the Sovereign One mocks their madness!
5 Then with the fierceness of his fiery anger
he settles the issue and terrifies them to death with these words:
6 “I myself have poured out my King on Zion, my holy mountain.

Act III – The Son Speaks

7 “I will reveal the eternal purpose of God.
For he has decreed over me, ‘You are my favored Son.
And as your Father I have crowned you as my King Eternal.
Today I became your Father.
8 Ask me to give you the nations and I will do it,
and they shall become your legacy.
Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.
9 And you will shepherd them with unlimited authority,
crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’”

Act IV – The Holy Spirit Speaks

10 Listen to me, all you rebel-kings
and all you upstart judges of the earth.
Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
11 Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God.
Recognize his greatness and bow before him,
trembling with reverence in his presence.
12 Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son
before his anger is roused against you.
Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled!
But many blessings are waiting for all
who turn aside to hide themselves in him!

Can a Nation Be Changed in a Day? – National Day of Prayer Sunday 9th December

We are excited to hear of so many at the present time organising and being involved in times of prayer for our Nation. Today, we received an email from Catch the Fire, a church in Bournemouth on the south coast, who are challenged by The Lord to call a National Day of Prayer for Government […]

via Can a Nation Be Changed in a Day? – National Day of Prayer – Sun 9 Dec. — Call The Nation To Prayer

Transcript of Chuck Pierce word on 40 days for London

A transcript of the exceptional prophetic word brought by Chuck Pierce on crucial 40 days for London is now available for readers of this blog to weigh and pray over with the Lord by clicking here.

Chuck delivered this word on 30th October and after 40 days, on 11th December, MPs are to vote upon the EU Withdrawal Agreement. I doubt that this schedule could have been pre-arranged between Chuck and Prime Minister Theresa May!

The references at the close of his message to London as being the “Mother Bridle City” may have a connection with the equine-related prophetic words published by Veronika West on Unbridling of Britain and Yvonne Combs on Shanballat Arising on 27th and 30th November respectively.

40 things (or more!) wrong with May-EU’s Withdrawal Agreement

UPDATED with PS for further information; also note most informative comment:

One of my contributors to this blog’s series on the EU and Brexit, David Chapman, has submitted the following which he’d received from a friend, after having seen material by Martin Howe QC.

(Martin Howe is a leading barrister in intellectual property and EU law and Chairman of Lawyers for Britain, as well as a contributor to Brexit Central. His articles enable us to appreciate why the hitherto secret Attorney General’s advice to the government, as explosive as it is, came as no surprise to anyone well-informed of the nuances of the Brexit negotiations; see, for example – The Withdrawal Agreement’s Northern Ireland Protocol is Neither a ‘Backstop’ or Temporary published 22nd November!)

I’m informed the following has come from social media and it isn’t easy to determine its source. Nevertheless, David writes, “After trawling through the near 600 pages of the WA this seemed to have a much more succinct analysis than I could give.”

Also, a local friend of financial rather than legal background, reports he’s pleased to find its points are similar to those he’d noted when checking to identify the Agreement’s key issues. 

So with the foregoing in mind, let’s now take a look at :

40 REASONS (YES 40) WHY WE NEED TO BIN Mrs MAY’S PROPOSALS

From the offset, we should note that this is an EU text, not a UK or international text. This has one source. The Brexit agreement is written in Brussels.

  1. Prime Minister May says her deal means the UK leaves the EU next March. The Withdrawal Agreement makes a mockery of this. “All references to Member States and competent authorities of Member States…shall be read as including the United Kingdom.” (Art 6). Not quite what most people understand by Brexit. It goes on to spell out that the UK will be in the EU but without any MEPs, a commissioner or ECJ judges. We are effectively a Member State, but we are excused – or, more accurately, excluded – from attending summits. (Article 7)
  2. The European Court of Justice is decreed to be our highest court (Art. 86) both citizens and resident companies can use it.
  3. The UK will remain under the jurisdiction of the ECJ until eight years after the end of the transition period. (Article 158).
  4. The UK will still be bound by any future changes to EU law in which it will have no say, not to mention having to comply with current law. (Article 6(2))
  5. Any disputes under the Agreement will be decided by EU law only – one of the most dangerous provisions. (Article 168) Arbitration will be governed by the existing procedural rules of the EU law – this is not arbitration as we would commonly understand it (i.e. between two independent parties). (Article 174)
  6. “UNDERLINING that this Agreement is founded on an overall balance of benefits, rights and obligations for the Union and the United Kingdom” No, it should be based upon the binding legal obligations upon the EU contained within Article 50. It is wrong to suggest otherwise.
  7. The tampon tax clause: We obey EU laws on VAT, with no chance of losing the tampon tax even if we agree a better deal in December 2020 because we hereby agree to obey other EU VAT rules for **five years** after the transition period. Current EU rules prohibit 0-rated VAT on products (like tampons) that did not have such exemptions before the country joined the EU.
  8. Problems with the EU’s definitions: 3.1. “Union law” is too widely defined. “United Kingdom national” – we should not have agreed the Lisbon Treaty definition. That is giving away our right to define our citizens.
  9. Definitions needed to include the term “goods” and the term “services” we are promised the deal will mean ONLY EU law in relation to ‘goods’ will apply. This is a non-defined term so far. This agreement also fails to define it.
  10. The Mandelson Pension Clause: The UK must promise never to tax former EU officials based here – such as Peter Mandelson or Neil Kinnock – on their E.U. pensions, or tax any current ones on their salaries. The EU and its employees are immune to our tax laws. (Article 104)
  11. Furthermore, the UK agrees not to prosecute EU employees who are, or who might be deemed in future, criminals (Art.101)
  12. The pre-existing rights of EU citizens are to be extended to citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. They will be pleased. (Article 33)
  13. The EU’s stupidest law ever – the General Data Protection Regulation – is to be bound into UK law (Article 71 to 73). So much for escaping this madness.
  14. The UK is obliged to establish a ‘Joint Committee’ with EU representatives to guarantee ‘the implementation and application of this Agreement’. This does not sound like a withdrawal agreement – if it was, why would it need to be subject to continued monitoring? (Article 164). The Joint Committee will have subcommittees with jurisdiction over: (a) citizens’ rights; (b) “other separation provisions”; (c) Ireland/Northern Ireland; (d) Sovereign Base Areas in Cyprus; (e) Gibraltar; and (f) financial provisions. (Article 165)
  15. The agreement will last as long as the country’s youngest baby lives. “the persons covered by this Part shall enjoy the rights provided for in the relevant Titles of this Part for their lifetime”. (Article 39).
  16. The UK is shut out of all EU networks and databases for security – yet no such provision exists to shut the EU out of ours. (Article 8)
  17. The UK will tied to EU foreign policy, “bound by the obligations stemming from the international agreements concluded by the Union” but unable to influence such decisions. (Article 124)
  18. All EU citizens must be given permanent right of residence after five years – but what counts as residence? This will be decided by the EU, rather than UK rules. (Articles 15-16)
  19. Britain is granted the power to send a civil servant to Brussels to watch them pass stupid laws which will hurt our economy. (Article 34)
  20. The UK agrees to spend taxpayers’ money telling everyone how wonderful the agreement is. (Article 37)
  21. Art 40 defines Goods. It seems to includes Services and Agriculture. We may come to discover that actually ‘goods’ means everything.
  22. Articles 40-49 practically mandate the UK’s ongoing membership of the Customs Union in all but name.
  23. The UK will be charged to receive the data/information we need in order to comply with EU law. (Article 50)
  24. The EU will continue to set rules for UK intellectual property law (Article 54 to 61)
  25. The UK will effectively be bound by a non-disclosure agreement swearing us to secrecy regarding any EU developments we have paid to be part. This is not mutual. The EU is not bound by such measures. (Article 74)
  26. The UK is bound by EU rules on procurement rules – which effectively forbids us from seeking better deals elsewhere. (Articles 75 to 78)
  27. We give up all rights to any data the EU made with our money (Art. 103)
  28. The EU decide capital projects (too broadly defined) the UK is liable for (why on earth can’t they say now … oh yes, I remember, they’re bust) (Art. 144)
  29. The UK is bound by EU state aid laws until future agreement – even in the event of an agreement, this must wait four years to be valid. (Article 93)
  30. Similar advantages and immunities are extended to all former MEPs and to former EU official more generally. (Articles 106-116)
  31. The UK is forbidden from revealing anything the EU told us or tells us about the finer points of deal and its operation. (Article 105).
  32. Any powers the UK parliament might have had to mitigate EU law are officially removed. (Article 128)
  33. The UK shall be liable for any “outstanding commitments” after 2022 (Article 142(2) expressly mentions pensions, which gives you an idea as to who probably negotiated this). The amount owed will be calculated by the EU. (Articles 140-142)
  34. The UK will be liable for future EU lending. As anyone familiar with the EU’s financials knows, this is not good. (Article 143)
  35. The UK will remain liable for capital projects approved by the European Investment Bank. (Article 150).
  36. The UK will remain a ‘party’ (i.e. cough up money) for the European Development Fund. (Articles 152-154)
  37. And the EU continues to calculate how much money the UK should pay it. So thank goodness Brussels does not have any accountancy issues.
  38. The UK will remain bound (i.e coughing up money) to the European Union Emergency Trust Fund – which deals with irregular migration (i.e. refugees) and displaced persons heading to Europe. (Article 155)
  39. The agreement will be policed by ‘the Authority’ – a new UK-based body with ‘powers equivalent to those of the European Commission’. (Article 159)
  40. And, of course, the UK will agree to pay £40bn to receive all of these ‘privileges’. (Article 138)

7 years ago today: Death or Destiny? – choose wisely!

Death, or ‘destiny’, it was my choice – but I didn’t know, and I’d chosen wrongly!

Thankfully, I was given the chance to choose again – yet once again flunked it!  How?  A young man who happened to share my birthday pointed out the facts.  Yet I decided, quite deliberately, to ignore them and thus made the wrong choice.

Then another, very much older man, came like a thief in the night. He showed me how those incorrect decisions bear consequences affecting my own post-mortem existence!  Twenty two years later, that event remains vividly etched within me.

Maybe this sounds rather far-fetched or fictional, or like Dickens’ A Christmas Carol where ghosts confront Ebenezer Scrooge?

However, please make no mistake. What I’m relating has nothing to do with ideas or beliefs, faith or feelings, supposition or superstition. Rather, it has everything to do with plain, simple facts.

The eventual outcome of our own life – even one’s post-mortem existence – is a matter of fact. And it’s our choice.

Allow me to share a true story, starting with the first visitor…

‘Brexit Plan B’ leader doesn’t grasp democracy

To follow up on my closure to Truth of EU’s Trap Revealed, the former attorney general, ‘Dominic Grieve, led a successful plot by 25 Tory Remainers to give MPs the right to dictate a “plan B” to Mrs May if she loses the Brexit deal vote’, so writes political editor Gordon Raynor towards the close of content to this morning’s banner headline The day May lost control.

‘The Prime Minister saw 25 of her own MPs, including several former loyalists, join forces with Labour to pass a crucial amendment to her deal by 321 votes to 299, a majority of 22.’

Gordon provides details online in The end of hard Brexit; How rebel Tories won right to force ‘Plan B’, but I want to draw your attention to his quoting what the ‘fox’ thinks:

Mr Grieve suggested that MPs would now be able to force a second referendum.  He said: “Parliament has asserted its sovereignty to ensure that amendments – such as for a People’s Vote – can be made to any motion if or when the Government’s proposed deal for leaving the EU has been defeated.

“Parliament must now take back control and then give the final decision back to the public because, in the end, only the people can sort this out.” (Emphasis added)

We learned this person fulfilled within days Veronika West’s prophetic word on betrayal within government by his public exposure of being in cahoots with EU leaders.

Watchers of political events know that Grieve’s long been working to reverse the results of the 2016 EU referendum by holding a so-called peoples’ vote – which is exactly what that referendum was anyway!

But now he’s abdicating all democratically designed responsibility. He claims we, the people, can sort out the sheer, shambolic mess politicians of all shades and opinions – here in Britain and in Brussels, including himself – have made of the UK’s governing process!  And there’s many with him – it beggars belief! Let’s think about it, clearly.

Even so, perhaps it would be a good thing to get rid of incompetent politicians because ordinary folk – or better still, trained Spirit-led disciples of Christ (not clergy) – could do a much better job.

So it continues to fascinate me how next week’s voting on Mrs May’s Brexit ‘deal’ will turn out. With no pre-arrangement on either party’s part, this takes place on the final day of Chuck Pierce’s powerful word on crucial 40 days for London!  The 40-day prophecy he brought in 2005 proved to be explosive when London suffered a terrorist outrage – so perhaps this year’s prophecy will prove not only politically but also supernaturally explosive!!

Maybe this shaking we’ve been experiencing will ricochet deeply into all organisations comprising the European Union. After all, it’s just been rocked by Spain!

For a short briefing see What the Grieve Amendment means and how MPs voted on it.

Truth of EU’s trap revealed

After reading Neil Mackereth’s theme on ‘Divine Designs’ implicit behind a chain of totally unexpected events, ones that confounded “experts” and suggest the Lord’s hand was in them, this week has extended that list.:

The longer and more twisted became the EU’s negotiations over Brexit, the more has Brussels tyrannical heart become evident to all – that truth is being revealed and confirms what a Ukrainian pastor told David Hathaway, “The EU is a hundred times worse than communism”!

Hopefully, ALL Britons will drop our differences in ‘Brexiteers’ and ‘Remainers’ becoming united in loathing of the contemptuous, disgraceful way Great Britain has been treated over the past two years because of our desire to regain our sovereignty.

The EU’s true colours are now nailed to its mast!

When the British people wake up to see the fully tyrannical nature of the EU, then any fresh referendum should surely show a far greater percentage voting to ‘LEAVE’.

This week’s momentous, historic political events prior to Parliament’s voting upon PM May’s personal deal with Brussels are evidence of a great shaking, thereby proving Christian prognostications of such to be true prophecies.

Before covering today’s latest news, we should continue the ‘Divine Designs‘ listing by looking at just a few of this week’s events (courtesy Telegraph’s live newsfeed):

  1. Former chief whip will vote against PM for first time
  2. How PM suffered one of most bruising days in politics
  3. Theresa May reeling after three humiliating defeats
  4. Government found to be in contempt of Parliament
  5. Parliament seizes the reins of Brexit
  6. Day two of debate on PM’s deal underway in Commons
  7. Critics: Backstop would see UK stuck in ‘Brexit hamster wheel’
  8. DUP: No wonder Government tried to hide legal advice
  9. Northern Ireland would be ‘in the EU’s Customs Union’
  10. Government publishes Brexit legal advice in full
  11. UK will be trapped in backstop even if talks with EU fail.

Early this afternoon the paper’s Brexit and political correspondents write:

Britain will be trapped in the Brexit backstop even if talks with the European Union on a trade deal break down, according to explosive legal advice finally published by the Government…

‘The legal advice is likely to confirm the worst fears of opponents of Theresa May’s Brexit deal because it sets out in stark terms that the UK cannot unilaterally exit the backstop and it will apply “indefinitely”.

‘It states: “In conclusion, the current drafting of the protocol, including Article 19, does not provide for a mechanism that is likely to enable the UK lawfully to exit the UK-wide customs union without a subsequent agreement…

‘Nigel Dodds, the deputy leader of the DUP, described the legal advice as “devastating” and it was “no wonder” the Government had “tried to hide” it.

‘Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, said having reviewed the legal advice it was “obvious why this needed to be placed in the public domain”. He said: “All week we have heard from Government ministers that releasing this information could harm the national interest. Nothing of the sort. All this advice reveals is the central weaknesses in the Government’s deal.

“It is unthinkable that the Government tried to keep this information from Parliament – and indeed the public – before next week’s vote.”

AND, there’s another aspect of yesterday’s shenanigans in the House of Commons, one relating to the vision and word Veronika West brought about a treacherous fox! (Fulfilled Prophecy #30 refers) Click to continue reading in the next post >>

Prophetic word of warning and blessing for Britain re. the EU

Following Prime Minister Theresa May’s agreement in Brussels on Saturday 24th November on Britain’s leaving the EU, Revd Chris Wickland, pastor of Living Word Church based in Fareham, Purbrook and Lee-on-Solent, issued this email last Monday on what he’d brought from the Lord that Sunday night:

‘Last night at Living Word Lee I was due to give a normal sermon, but as I rose to get up God gave me a download regarding Brexit and what is soon to transpire for our nation.
‘I very rarely get anything like this and God was reminding me of many prophetic words and stringing it all together into a 30 min message of what is coming.
‘I enclose a link to the audio file of the prophetic word…(RB: see below)
‘Please listen if you get time and please feel free to share with any people you feel this would resonate with.’

I’m grateful to Carolyn Stewart for the following transcript of the first minutes of Chris’ message from the Lord (note reference to the value of declarations):

Prophecy of Warning and Blessing for Great Britain – 25th November 2018

Something has happened today which is very significant for us as Britons. The European treaty thing has gone through; that they’ve agreed on their side of things on the Brexit deal and…I don’t think God is very happy!

This is what I must declare, and I’m going to say it out loud. You see, when prophets of old would speak, they would not even necessarily go to the nations they spoke to, but they spoke to them because they were releasing the word of the Lord, and the Lord will do what He will do. Unfortunately, I have to say this over our government and our country:

‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN’. God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. You are weighed in the balance and found wanting. Your Kingdom is divided and has been given to another.’

I just feel God is really not pleased with what has happened this week and what is about to happen. I have had, over the years, many dreams, many visions for about 20-odd years about what is to come to this land. And unfortunately, what has happened now has just triggered it, because…God led this country to come out of something that he was not happy we were even in to start with. People voted for that. Not only did people vote for that, but He moved people by His Spirit to come out. And yet people who think they are better and know more than the plans and purposes of God have tried to intervene and tried to stop what God has decreed must happen. And because man has put his hatchet on the line, and because man has tried to sabotage the engine of what God was trying to do, God has unfortunately to bring down the axe of his judgment, and unfortunately it is going to bring a separation from us from Europe, whether we like it or not. But unfortunately, it is going to be costly and it is going to bring our nation to a place of humility.

You see, God cannot heal our land until our land has been humbled – ‘Unless my people humble themselves and pray I will not heal their land’ – and this land must now come to a time of humbling. This land must come to a place where it will call out to the Lord its God.

“It is a nation that is proud. It is a nation that has become arrogant. It is a nation that has thrown aside My laws and precepts and thrown aside My Word and thrown aside My people, and thrown aside My church. My church has forsaken by ways. My church has forsaken My laws and My precepts and My holy word. They have moved to the left when they should have always been in my Kingdom. They should have been teaching the Kingdom, but instead they taught the precepts and the doctrines and the philosophies of man!”
“And because of this I must humble My church as well. There are those that are following Me, and they are following Me with all their heart. I don’t speak to them. I speak to the church that takes My word and brings mixture to it, and brings worldliness to it, and brings worldly philosophies and worldly ideologies to My Word. No more!
“This country is going to humbled, and unfortunately the institutions which hold this country up are now going to have to topple. The things that this country feels that it has sure foundations I am now going to take away”, says the Lord. “And I will tear away the veil of lasciviousness so this country will finally wake up and look up and see that I alone am God, and I will save all who call upon the name of the Lord.”

But if I feel God is saying, “Enough is enough. They have had their time. MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN. You have had your time. You have had your chance. You have had your warnings. But you refused to listen, and you refused to relent and you refused to repent. And now I do not want to do what I now have to do, but YOU chose this. You chose to not follow Me. You chose to not follow the voice of the people. You chose not to follow the leading of My people. You chose not to follow the leading of My prophets.”
“And I speak now to the Government. They have heard the voice of the prophets. They have heard the prayers of the saints that have gone up for this land. They know the petitions of my people, and they have ignored them. And I tell you now, you will not ignore the voice of My prophets in this land anymore. You will now come to a time of humility, and you will be humbled” says the Lord.
“But I have plans for this nation. Yes, she must be humbled, but I will bandage up her wounds, I will take care of her and I will raise her up, and I will look after her and all of those that call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved and I will bring this country into the plans and purposes I have for it. And I have plans to prosper this country. I do not have plans to harm her; but know this…”

Click to continue at 5:40 mark to hear what God is going to do with Great Britain in the light of Brexit and of revival. It is a sobering, serious word yet brings hope and clarity for the days ahead.

Pastor Chris’ opening reference to events of the past 20 years reminds me of the Lord having opened Hebrews 12:18-29 to me at a house group meeting in late 1990s. Hence, my coverage in the last few years of many prophecies on The Shaking; eg. as recently in ‘a new season of shaking’ and in ‘a merciful but severe course correction’.

What’s more, I can relate to his personal testimony (Witchcraft to Christ) because I too was in the new age group he’d been involved with, as well as nearly having had a head-on crash. Part 2 of his story is of wider interest.

PS: the evening before the PM’s announcement I saw a long tidal wave, rather like a tsunami, about to hit our shores. It is the wave of revival and this was confirmed not only by the pastor at this Spirit-led meeting at Fleet Baptist Church but also by the desktop image of a huge wave on the visiting speaker’s tablet (John Arnott)!

May the Lord bless you as you weigh this message and wait on Him.

‘Divine Designs’ re. Britain and the European Union

In updating me on his thoughts about Britain and the EU, Neil Mackereth (author of SIGNS) enables our further consideration of the prophetic word on the Lord being in control of Brexit.

Neil writes, “I have amended the last section ‘Spiritual Significance’ somewhat, mainly to emphasise that understanding comes with hindsight. The reasons for the present political confusion and turmoil will become clear. My view is that it is necessary to ensure there is not an inappropriate compromise deal (appeasement). No political consensus may be the only way to ensure a proper severance.”

DIVINE DESIGNS

THE SPIRITUAL IMPERATIVE

A spiritual indifference has taken root in the world today. The rulers, leaders, decision makers and diplomats are trying to direct nations and solve problems using the wisdom of this age – their own “wisdom”, world-view, self-interest, conceit and disdain (see 1 Corinthians 2:6, 14.).

As always, God is in control and is working out His purposes. We need to keep our spiritual eyes and ears open in these turbulent times and seek to understand the Kingdom perspective and significance of events. We may be mystified but we can still choose to go with God in the fulfilment of His purposes. His ways are not our ways; however, He wants us to be involved and what matters most is maintaining our relationship with Jesus and doing our utmost to fulfil the great commission.

Is there a link between following biblical guidelines and the wellbeing of the nation? The secular world ridicule suggestions that God is in control. They are mistaken.

An Example of the Significance of Blessing Israel – The Balfour Declaration

The Balfour Declaration of 9 November 1917, promising a national homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, shows the efficacy of the principle expressed in Genesis 12.3 “I will bless those who bless you”. The declaration, first aired on 2 November, became agreed Government policy a week later. It was heartfelt and undoubtedly blessed the Jews: there was an almost immediate counter blessing!

General Allenby, the British commander in the Middle East, launched an offensive to capture Jerusalem on 31 October 1917. He took Gaza on 7 November and Jaffa on 16 November.  As Allenby’s forces approached Jerusalem the German and Turkish forces decided to withdraw from the city.

General Allenby and his commanders walked into the undefended city of Jerusalem on 9 December 2017. That was truly remarkable!

Unfortunately, subsequent governments have not shown unity or clarity in their endeavours to bless God’s chosen people!

THE UNEXPECTED

I meet many disheartened Christians who do not see God’s hand in the events unfolding in our nation. I, on the other hand, am intrigued and excited by a chain of unexpected outcomes. Examples where the “experts” were confounded:

  1. The Scottish independence referendum of September 2014 (unity of UK)
  2. PM Cameron, promising a referendum on EU membership, re-elected to government with an unexpected overall majority – General Election May 2015
  3. Mr Corbyn elected Labour leader – September 2015 (against all expectations)
  4. EU referendum (PM hoisted by his own petard having only anticipated a coalition government and hence no likelihood of having to honour the pledge)
  5. BREXIT – June 2016 (referendum outcome against expectations)
  6. The Labour Party, which might have influenced the Remain vote, in disarray
  7. PM Cameron resigns July 2016
  8. Mrs May elected PM July 2016 (virtually unopposed – a professing Christian)
  9. PM calls a snap general election June 2017 – unexpectedly loses her majority (against all pundit expectations/forecasts!) and has to rely on DUP support to form a government (the significance of the DUP holding the balance of power becomes more evident as Brexit progresses – unity of UK)
  10. The pessimistic ‘experts’ have repeatedly been proved wrong:
  • The stock market will crash – it has reached record highs
  • Unemployment will rise – it has fallen
  • The economy will go into recession – the opposite is true
  • The value of the pound will fall – it has but that has not been the predicted disaster. It has proved beneficial to trade and made the UK an attractive proposition/haven for overseas investors, the pound is recovering.

Cracks are appearing in the unity of the EU nations: their instability is ignored by the UK prophets of doom who continue their barrage, many demanding a second referendum. The amazing thing is, the pundits are still held in high esteem!

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

We have a God of the unexpected and the above list indicates that God’s hand is on Great Britain. The significance and progressive nature of each step only becomes clear with hindsight. Similarly, I am sure that the reasons for the current political confusion and government disarray will be apparent “after the event”. I am reminded of Habakkuk; we watch to see God’s plans unfold, confident in the knowledge that however turbulent the immediate future may be, His plans will not be thwarted. Furthermore, God told Habakkuk to tell the nation what was to happen.

I don’t know whether a deal (i.e. with fair contractual agreements) or a no-deal Brexit is best, but He does: instead of being in the worst position, as so many argue, knowing Him puts us in the best position.

We are at a pivotal moment. The signs of demonic influence in the EU are startlingly obvious, to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Brexit threatens to hasten the break-up of the EU (I think it was inevitable). Whatever people may say; Brexit is a calamity for the EU. God is rescuing the UK from an unholy alliance, to be a tower of strength, a light in a dark place, a refuge and a sanctuary.

Our God is not a God of compromise. Pray, pray and pray again for a clean, fair and complete break from the EU. Pray for the adoption of the underlying principle that UK policies will be biblically based and will seek to bless the Jewish people (this does not mean endorsing or condoning any unreasonable actions/words of secular authorities or leaders. It does mean help in safeguarding the rights and security of Israel, and of the Jewish people worldwide).

Watch and be amazed: we constantly underestimate the greatness of our God and we constantly underestimate the power and authority of His Word. He is birthing something new for the nations of the world, which apparent from the shaking and repositioning we are witnessing. It heralds the time of tribulation, which will culminate in the return of Jesus.

Prophetic word on Brexit: ‘The Lord is in control and will have His way’

This reassuring, encouraging article from Call The Nation To Prayer brings a word from an intercessory group affiliated to Churches In Communities International, and which is in line with other words noted on this blog. (Click title below for a link to ctntp’s website – emboldening of messages added):

BREXIT – ‘THE LORD IS IN CONTROL AND WILL HAVE HIS WAY’

‘CTNTP has been careful to keep out of the ‘Brexit fray’. The whole subject has become a very difficult one for The Church at large in our nation, as within our congregations, like during the Referendum, many hold one position, many the other. It has divided us, at the very time when The Lord is surely saying, we must be ‘As One’.

‘Our view is that The Lord has already gone far ahead of us! His overall plans and purposes for the United Kingdom have been in place from the beginning of time. They are good plans, plans that give us a real hope and future. It is all to easy for us to react, to ‘knee-jerk’ to the daily pendulum swing of news and commentary.

‘We are not absolved from the responsibility of prayer and of seeking The Lord, for He works alongside us, ‘co-labours’ with us. It is a great mystery, but He truly uses us to bring His plans to fruition. Prayer leads to ‘mission’ – we must hear from Heaven and deliver our personally assigned part in God’s plan.

‘We have already believed the Lord is speaking to many Christians in Britain about releasing a ‘sound of heaven’ over our Land, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read more about this – click here. The plans of the enemy are defeated when God’s people rise up, and standing in love and unity, stand, sing, speak and declare His Glory! (see 2 Chron 20). This should surely be our focus?’

A Prophetic Word from Quiver

‘We have been made aware of a Statement from the Christian prayer organisation, Quiver, written by its Convenor, Jennifer Abigail Lawson Wallace, that was released a couple of days ago. This powerfully speaks into the Brexit situation and is reproduced below. As usual, we ask you to weigh the words before The Lord.

‘We are in a time where we must keep our eyes fixed on heaven, let The Holy Spirit direct your thoughts and prayers, not the BBC (or other) news!’

A STATEMENT FROM QUIVER CONCERNING BREXIT – 24 November 2018

Last Tuesday was exactly two years ago, when we finished the intercessory journey around the UK. I had totally forgotten about that, but was at a prayer meeting at Emmanuel Centre on Tuesday 20th November (2016), when the Holy Spirit reminded me. He said “Today is exactly two years since you completed your intercessory journey around the UK.”

He began to remind me of the things He said at the end of that assignment; that He has taken control over the nation, and that whatever transpires, we should rest assured that He is in control. After the assignment, He had also said to me, “I will take you to Buckingham Palace and there you’ll complete this task, for I have taken over the nation.” A few months later, I attended the Queen’s garden party at Buckingham Palace, and there, I proclaimed Psalm 45 over the nation, declaring that Christ will rule this land with the Church, His Bride!

Since then, even though we have continued to pray concerning Brexit, the focus of the Lord to us at QUIVER has been the Church. To pray and prepare her to rise up boldly and work. The Lord need His Church to stand firm, and prepared and ready to reach out to the nation again. (Haggai 2). Hence our 36 days of fasting and prayer throughout the year, which concludes next week.

However, whenever I have felt panicky about the current situation with Brexit, I have been reminded that the LORD IS IN CONTROL AND WILL HAVE HIS WAY. I have a deep sense of peace, and the Lord has asked us to enter into rest and praise Him.

The Lord gave 2 Chronicles 20:

In the midst of a fierce threat of war from several nations, King Jehoshaphat declared to Judah and Jerusalem “Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets and you shall prosper.” Then he assigned worshipers to go before the army. They declared, “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.”

We, therefore, believe that this is not the time to panic but rather hold on to every prophetic word received regarding the UK, and stand firm and declare it. This is the time to believe that God answers prayer and He has heard and will answer and help us. This is the time to praise, worship and thank God and ask Him to glorify His name.

Indeed, it’s not by might but by His Spirit. Who are you O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!!!” Zechariah 4:6-7

As I prayed last night, I heard word: “The outcome of Brexit has already been determined in the courts of heaven.” We, therefore, believe that the counsel of God alone shall stand in regards to Brexit! No human being shall determine the outcome, God has already determined it.

After, praying last night, the Lord asked me to make a Prophetic Declaration over Britain. (I have an audio recording of this). After making the prophetic declaration, I had a vision of the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! I saw the Lion but He was with a Lioness. (This the first time I have seen the Lion with a Lioness). With this I had an assurance that the Lord, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is with His Bride, the true Church. Jesus Christ is with us in this battle for our nation. Victory belongs to Jesus.

Let us do what King Jehoshaphat and Judah did, and stand firm on His word, promises and prophecies to our nation. Let us stand in faith and believe in the Lord’s ability to deliver. Let us have a confident assurance in our God and praise, worship and thank Him. Let us stand still and firm and see the salvation of our God. PSALM 46. Amen!!!

  • I humbly submit, believers have additional responsibility of being aware of events in detail, and of discerning spirits operating therein (eg. the instance of treachery and its rapid validation, as reported in Fulfilled Prophecy #30 blogs).
  • The Lord’s hand could be seen in the outcome of the General Election making the PM’s reduced majority reliant upon the Christian party in Northern Ireland (DUP), and in the unexpected need of Parliament’s approval to any ‘deal’ with the EU; both events being invaluable in view of concerns over governmental deceit.

7 years ago today: the Key To Foretelling The Future

Now, dear reader, let’s turn the dials in our imaginary time machine again. Set your watch back yet another 700-odd years – and discover how we can go forward from there!

This takes us to the time ancient Rome was founded and the first Olympic Games got under way in ancient  Greece.  Also, Assyria was poised to conquer the Middle East and become a mighty regional power.

A Hebrew prophet and student of geopolitics, Isaiah, could see conflict approaching and, sure enough, the northern kingdom of Israel, Samaria, fell to Assyria in 721BC. A couple of decades earlier, Isaiah had a profound vision of the glory of The Holy Lord of Heavenly Hosts within His temple (see 6th chapter of The Book of Isaiah).

7 years ago today: Not Many people Know This…

This post, one of my first blogs in November 2011, later featured on the Home page to inform visitors of the acceleration of prophetic fulfillment, as may be inferred from the links to confirmatory events two years later:

As you may have gathered from my Welcome, I’m into eschatology – the theological study of the destiny and judgement of nations and all people, even angels!  You may know it as ‘The Last Days’ or, more popularly, as ‘End-Times’. The origin of this term is in the ancient Hebrew Torah’s description: Acharit Hayamin, ie. ‘Last of the Years’.

Let me take you for a very brief visit into one of my favourite classes where Dr Chuck Missler is asking his students, ‘Why Eschatology?Continue reading

The Cross Visible In England

Thank you Lord for this most encouraging dream, the timing of which is especially interesting in view of today’s teaching and personal insights at the Heaven is My Throne and Earth My Footstool conference.

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I had a dream where I saw a huge cross that seemed to have been buried for a while unearthed. When it was unearthed and placed upright I could see the imprint it from whence it had been unearthed. When stood up you could see it for miles. In fact, I saw a ship out at see coming towards England and the cross was visible to those in the ship.

This means that England will be a beacon of Christianity as the cross in my dream was a beacon.
