ProphecyTodayUK: ‘Brexit Battles Begin’

Managing editor of ProphecyTodayUK, Frances Rabbits encourages comments upon and sharing the website’s articles, and she opens her weekly email update as follows,

‘As anti-Brexit rhetoric streams from the mainstream media and anti-Israel rhetoric gushes from the UN, there has never been a more important time to stand up for truth – clearly, courageously and without compromise.

I hope that our articles this week are a help to you, in praying and living with understanding of these significant days. In particular, we would like to encourage all our readers to keep praying over the Brexit process – for the enemy loves to try to thwart the plans of the Lord.’  

Read about anti-democratic activity and anti-God purposes proposed for Parliament and the necessity for Christians to continue praying in Brexit Battles Begin.  Friends have informed me in recent months of dreams and visions of serious damage being done to the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben clock tower, all indicative of the current struggles.

This timing is particularly interesting in view of the timing as forecast by Dr Sharon Stone THREE years ago this month (re-visited in Fulfilled Prophecy #8: part 3 – Timing, Purpose and Outcome of Britain’s Spiritual Battle) and as foreseen over the ‘pond’ by Mena Lee Grebin within a 40-day time frame of 5th September (thank you Nick). See Z3news for details in Sudden Change Coming to the Untied Kingdom!.

Thank you from and update on Nina

A deep thank you from Nina and me to those who kindly prayed for the trapeziumectomy. She was home from the Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford, for a decent mid-morning coffee and needing to rest after the usual noisy night in any medical unit.

Yesterday, she was out of recovery by 11:30 am, three hours after going to theatre.  Just before I went for lunch the surgeon’s registrar came to say they were very pleased with the operation. So now it’s time for rest and recuperation: left arm in soft bandage kept as high as high as comfortably possible. (Presently is dozing in armchair with kitty snoozing on tall cushion behind her but her head resting on top of Nina’s 🙂 )

In three weeks her progress will be assessed and decision made on the next three week’s form of support before Nina can start regaining the use of her dominant hand.

A couple of people on different prayer networks remarked upon surgeon Mr Magnusson’s brilliant reputation. When we first met to discuss the work I commented it’s like what we’ve seen on TV’s Supervet, featuring the university’s prof Noel Fitzpatrick whose practice is in nearby Godalming.  He laughed heartily when I quipped that he’d best not think he’s a vet in view of my surname!

We remain amazed at the very efficient and effective hospital-watch at the Liphook church we started attending only six months ago – thank you Lord for such brotherly support from there, Acorn and elsewhere.

Perry Stone: Trump and the Washington set

In view of my ‘pop-out’ remark on Donald Trump Tuesday evening, and whilst awaiting Nina’s recovery from surgery the next morning, I was amused to note over a long coffee my paper’s world news item ‘Unshackled’ Trump wars with Republicans. So it’s not at all surprising he may be going ‘independent’.  Much later I read Tim Shey’s comment and his recommendation to watch Bible teacher Perry Stone’s personal insights on the political corruption rife within American politics. You may like it too – fresh link via comments below:

Promoted to home head chef!

“Richard, my hubbie, will be my sous-chef…” , Nina told the church’s hospital-watch prayer coordinator.

“Not at all, he’ll be head chef whilst you’re indisposed!” came the gentle correction in Stevie’s Scottish lilt.

To our great surprise we’d arrived home from holiday to find her letter with listing of today’s dawn-to-dusk prayer cover for Nina’s hand operation. She’s first to the surgeon this morning for repairing a thumb joint, possibly being discharged first thing tomorrow. For several weeks, however, her left arm and dominant hand will be out of action in a sling.

So I’ll be her 24/7 nurse for a while. Being a good organiser my dear wife prepared most things for her temporary manual infirmity. But most of all she’ll miss cooking and so we’d thought the washer-up guy could act under her guidance. (I do super steaks, omelettes and spicey full-veg and beef chilli. And soon time to bake a yummy Christmas cake!)

So, writing full blogs will not be as frequent as usual, but I want to pop a few brief links up whenever I can and re-post a couple of past items. These would prepare for a re-blog that connects with fascinating facts about mathematics and the Bible – and on Time.

A huge thank you and blessing from both of us to the medical team and everyone who’s praying for us.

A ‘pop-out truth’ about the Trump vs. Clinton debates

It was out of my mouth before I could even think.:

“Maybe he’s the only one who’s got the guts, male strength and determination to stand like a bull against the on-going destruction of America!”

I’d flipped the tv to hear Channel 4 News headlines whilst clearing up after dinner. So we just caught a few seconds of the latest presidential debate before switching off and deal with dishes but heard Trump’s retort about jailing Clinton (re her misdemeanours?). Nina expressed her disdain for both contenders’ character but – without thinking of what to say – out popped my quick response, as above.

We’re not politically partisan but, like many brothers and sisters, would prefer a Christian of strong faith to be a contender for the presidency.  So it was good to see the CBN video clip of Mike Pence’s anti-abortion stance posted on Veronika West’s Facebook (5 Oct).

My quick quip was mindful of her many visionary warnings for the USA, and of what I’d only scan-read earlier that day. That is of the Lord telling Lana Vawser in Oz about the lack of discernment in Christians over what’s going on behind the scenes as well as in the spiritual realm, and especially His heart and intentions for the USA.. According to Lana, Jesus has a stern warning to believers:

“My people that are not pressing in for discernment, to hear My heart concerning the US election and who I have anointed for the next Presidential Term, will be brought to a place right now in this season where they will be blinded by deception. This army that is about to be released into the body of Christ in the USA are coming to blind people to the truth that I have anointed Donald Trump and Mike Pence and the people of God need to hear this so that they keep pressing in for discernment despite what the media and the ‘natural world’ says. Things are going to continue to escalate and pressure intensify to push Donald Trump out, but My people need to take their place and stand with Me to see My purposes come to fruition.”

Just before the encounter Lana was ‘standing in what looked like a “commission room” in hell and so much darkness around. I saw the enemy and he was about to release a horde of demons upon the earth into the United States with a specific target against believers. 

What I noticed about these demonic spirits was that they had blindfolds in their hands and they were ready to “move”. 

 I asked Jesus what these demonic spirits were and he said that they were “spirits of deception”. 
’  

Therefore, I recommend reading and weighing her full account of An Encounter With Jesus Concerning the US Election and Donald Trump.

Update: Lance Wallnau adds several valid points in this video-clip (thanks Caroline):

For Trump’s attitude to Israel see John Kilpatrick: Apolitical prophecy in His Presence

Consider also Dr Clifford Hill’s analysis and wise guidance for our prayers: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Therein, he refers to the Sovereignty of God and reminds us of his appointing Cyrus as king in order to implement His purposes for His people.

Also, in a Prophetic Bulletin issued in March Rick Joyner makes many telling points when considering the pros and cons in Is Trump the One? (Thank you Peter Allman.)

Last but not least, thank you to those readers in the States who’ve written to me about their dreams and visions on the next President of the United States.  We’ll soon know if they’re accurate.

Anointed in a new way for a new day and spiritual battle

Yesterday’s illustrated word published by Veronika West of Ignite Ireland Ministry well reinforces what Dr Sharon Stone and Chuck Pierce received in late August, as in my previous post (NB: videos not available after Mon 10th Oct!). Be mightily blessed as you join with Veronika’s prophetic decree:

IN THIS SEASON GOD HAS ANOINTED US TO WAR IN A NEW WAY FOR A NEW DAY IS NOW UPON US!
Image may contain: text

I prophesy, the Spirit of God says,

“In this season I am releasing a new and unprecedented level and dimension of Faith, Hope and Expectation over My people, they shall not be moved or motivated by fear, they shall not be intimidated, limited or confined by the powers darkness, chaos or confusion that are round about them. LONG ENOUGH! have My people lived as if they were second class citizens powerless, ineffective and impotent going around and around in circles being unable to take back what the enemy has stolen from them. Watch! For NOW My Spirit is moving in a different direction and with greater power and acceleration over the earth. In this season I have called and anointed My people to wage war in a new way, for it will not be by might nor by power but by My Spirit that they shall overcome. Watch! I am raising up a mighty army of Overcomer’s and just like the army of Gideon My Warriors shall fight fueled and filled with the spirit of Might, Power, Strength, Knowledge, Revelation, Understanding and the Fear of the Lord. Watch! For even now I am rearming My people and unveiling new weapons in the midst of increased warfare, I am releasing greater kingdom strategy giving them full advantage over the enemy of fear, destruction and death that has come against My people in this hour”, says God.

“Fear not! for those that are fully surrendered and fully dependent upon Me and My prevailing power shall now taste and see Victory over defeat in the land of the living”.

DECREE; IN THIS HOUR I AM READY, PREPARED AND RIGHTLY POSITIONED TO WAGE WAR IN A NEW WAY, FOR MY WEAPONS ARE NOT CARNAL BUT POWERFUL TO THE PULLING DOWN OF EVERY STRONGHOLD OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS IN MY LAND.

I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR ARMED WITH THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT, POWER, STRENGTH, WISDOM, REVELATION, UNDERSTANDING AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD. My destination has changed from being in a place of Hopelessness and defeat to now walking in Expectation and Anticipation for Radical Restoration, Redemption and Great Victory. In the midst of this intense battle I will not retreat or shrink back, I will not be half-hearted, compromising or passive, BUT I will RISE UP and become as the Violent that will take the Kingdom by force, I am a mighty conqueror through Christ who enables, empowers and equips me to do ALL THINGS. Satan and his demons are afraid of the power of God that is at work in me, YES, they turn and run in fear, fleeing in 1000 different directions.

I am confident not in my own ability, strength or wisdom but in the Lord of the Angel Armies who fights for me. His Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation has given me access and understanding of how the enemy is moving and advancing, I Know his tactics even the hidden schemes and plots of the enemy, nothing is concealed or unrevealed, I am fully awake and activated to Wage war effectively and overcome my enemies.

I Know and I am assured that the Lord Sabaoth goes before me in this hour, I am confident that the outcome of every battle I face has already been settled in the heavenly realm, I WIN!!! MY DELIVERANCE AND VICTORY IS ASSURED.

The boundaries lines around my life have fallen for me in pleasant places, only the GOODNESS AND MERCY OF THE LORD SHALL FOLLOW ME. I am always in a state of Readiness, I am always Alert and Armed against the enemies tactics and activities. I am a Watchman on the wall, I am always full of High Praises, therefore my life is protected and preserved by the Fire of His Glory and Grace.

Today I choose to Declare to the spirit realm, that no matter what situation or circumstance I am faced with in this hour, this is not a setback for me but rather a divine setup for me to receiving and experiencing the greatest Breakthrough in my life. I AM ADVANCING WITH THE TASTE OF VICTORY IN MY MOUTH.

WARRIORS, I want to remind you all that the devil is a defeated foe, his end is very near and his time is very short, soon and very soon he shall be vanquished and we shall SEE THE LORD OF GLORY LIFTED HIGH AND MAGNIFIED ABOVE ALL THE EARTH.

Selah!

Dr Sharon Stone: New Year 5777 (2016-2017) – the Sword of the Lord will arise

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

 “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come”. (Jer 33.3 NLT)

At an international gathering of prophets in Windsor, Berkshire, on 3rd September Rev Dr Stone gave attendees a heads-up on this new Hebraic Year 5777, ie. a month before it began on Rosh Hashanah at sundown last Sunday (2nd October 2016).

PART 1: Words & Numbers 

Rev Dr Sharon Stone, courtesy CIESharon’s purpose in providing an early analysis and report is to enable us to understand this new season, thereby aligning and positioning ourselves to receive the great blessing of what’s coming. Knowing what’s in our future gives us momentum to bring it into the present.

Her opening instruction stresses the importance of getting a ‘NOW’ word from the Lord;

“For those who don’t understand why we need a ‘now‘ word; as soon as I know what the Spirit of God is doing I align myself with that. I put my eyes where His are, I put my heart where His is, I put my hand where His is, I put my feet where I see He’s focused and I’m in a place of such great blessing, opportunity and advancement because I’ve not had to struggle to do that. It’s being in the right place at the right time – and that’s my prayer for each one of you.”

The pictorial characters of the Hebrew alphabet are not only of linguistic use and meaning but, like ancient Greek, also have a numerical value by virtue of their place in the alphabet, and some represent larger numbers in multiple of ten and of hundred. Thus, rich layers of meaning may be found within these letters and correspondingly within holy scripture.

Hebrew letter ayin

Ayin

She explains 5700 means ‘may this be the year of…’ and we’re in the decade of the 70, which is represented by letter ‘ayin’ or a pair of eyes (pictographically).

“So in every year of this decade we come to a new place of enlightenment for the church in different arenas – but it also means personally that your eyes are being opened up! Your (spiritual) vision is becoming more clear (and your getting) details of a strategy rather than an overview.

“By the end of this decade you need to expect that the prophetic has been increased in the midst of you…and you can go from one level to the next level in a greater way and a faster way than you could at any time before…At this time the Spirit of God is giving me two scriptures for this season we’re in.”

Sharon then speaks in-depth on Jeremiah 33.3, as quoted above about this remarkable season where the Lord’s putting a hunger in us for knowing about things to come. Next she expounds upon Isaiah 42:16 as another key pertinent to our prophetic eyesight:

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known. Along paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them and I will make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do and I will not forsake them”.

Meaning of 777

It seems God’s favorite number is 7, especially in the Book of Revelation, and this year’s number has 3!  Number 7 means perfect, complete, and when something’s mentioned three times in scripture it’s for emphasis.

777 is ‘divine – divine – divine’ or completion of perfection. Therefore, Sharon is hearing the the Lord say to her that over-longstanding issues and delayed promises are about to be finished and completed, and Holy Spirit will enable us to become overcomers.

So in this season of bringing to completion, or perfection, God’s giving us opportunities to learn and overcome and gain victories by which we can testify as overcomers.

During this time of perfected completion many will see a finished manifestation, especially for incomplete personal deliverance and for lengthy healing processes, these will come to completion and finish so that we can move on.

PART 2: Dream of Weapons

Sharon recounts a dream of a week or so earlier of being in a museum and seeing many Medieval weapons. Just before the end, her attention is drawn to “a very strong sword; a broad two-edged sword but it’s hilt had a crown that covered the hand”.

Upon telling husband Greg about the dream and about 5777 he told her to see what he’d emailed her about Chuck Pierce’s Head of the Year 5777 gathering that, “has on the front of it a picture of a sword with a crown on top – isn’t that incredible!”

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

Sharon explains its direct relevance to the 7th letter Hebrew ‘zayin’ which is written like a sword with a crown on top (footnote’s link refers).  As a sword means ‘war’ and being in a ‘zayin’ season we have to prepare for war and battle.

THE SWORD OF THE LORD WILL ARISE

Sharon continues by delivering an important prophetic word: “The Spirit of the Lord says,

“Surely I am in this season putting out a call to arms. My sword – the Sword of the Lord – will arise”, but the Lord says, “Also, the sword of the enemy will arise at this time.” 

But the Lord says, “Nations will behold not only My wisdom but, My sons and daughters, the nations will behold My severity also.” 

And the Lord says, “You will come to be one that no longer runs from spiritual warfare but you will realise that you are in a season” He says, “where I am unveiling new strategies.”

And the Lord says, “But just like in Gideon’s day there was a winnowing down of the troops until I had a people that I could operate through”, and the Spirit of the Lord says, “in this nation and in many other nations of the earth there has been a shifting in the prayer movement, there has been a shifting in the prophetic, there has been a dispersing and a going back home, and there has been a remnant that has arisen”, says the Lord.

And the Lord says that, “I declare even over the UK – (and globally in the nations, offers Sharon) – now there is going to be a Gideon army coming together” and the Lord says that, “The reason for My Gideon army is not because I despise revival and harvest – I don’t want the many saved? No, the reason I’m going to raise a Gideon army is I’m going to cause you to know My Power” says the Lord, “So it’s not going to be by your strength, by your power”, says the Lord, “but it’s going to be by My strength and My power and my Spirit.”

And the Lord says that, “You will see Me as the Lord Sabaoth – the One leading His troops forward”,  but the Spirit of the Lord says, “Where many expect Me to lift up My standard that you might follow” the Spirit of God says, “YOU are going to be My standard in the earth”, says God and the Lord says, “I will cause others to see your great exploits.”

And the Lord says, “You have all been in Kingdom conflict” but the Lord says, “This is different from yesterday for now you are in armed conflict”, for the Lord says, “I am giving you, furnishing you even with new weapons, weapons for a battle for victory” says God, “I will fight not simply because you are a warrior but because of your love for Me, your love for others and your love for the land that will motivate you.”

And the Lord says that, “You will wage war (look at this play on words), you will wage war and I will release back to you your stolen wages and it will be a financial season of  the power in you as well.”

And the Lord says, “The armed robber needed an armed guard to deal with him, but I’m releasing you even as an armed guard in the earth!” says your Father.

Sharon then mentions a sister had told her about a similar vision in the previous week that made her understood new weaponry would be released at the gathering.

Footnote: Hebrew for Christians website is most illuminating about Letter Zayin, especially in connection with time, viz: “since Zayin represents both the number 7 and a sword it is not surprising that it is used to divide or “cut up” time into units of sevens” (!!)

A ‘God-incidental’ word for UK and email on PM May

Surely the Lord must have arranged for two items ‘coincidentally’ in my in-tray today. They’re from separate sources but their contents are connected and thus stress in my spirit their import. AND it strongly resonates with the content of my post 7th April: The Four Faces of God and Unity:

First, take especial note of what Father’s House of Prayer intercessor Lynne describes in her email sent last night:  

“…I was watching the news and Theresa May came on at the [Conservative Party’s annual] conference and I hadn’t realised it was being held at the NIA in Birmingham.  What came to me is they are in the same room that the WPC Trumpet Call is held in and it’s also the site of the Old Bingley Hall and when they demolished it they found wheelchairs, leg braces, crutches etc., in the cellar from the days of George Jeffreys visits to Birmingham in the 50’s. …I also remember that on the day of the referendum I had decided come what may I was going to the WPC because…I’d never been able to go to their premises. Anyway, when I got off the train at the revamped New Street Station, now known as Central Station, and started to walk into the new dome part, I was stopped in my tracks! – I could feel the Holy Spirit. The only way I can describe it is whirling and swirling around, never ever experienced anything like that it my life.

“And I’m just thinking of the prayers offered in that place and in the WPC also about Father saying in one of the prophecies that Birmingham was the heart of prayer. Might not be anything but it just keeps coming.”

[NIA is the National Indoor Arena – for information on WPC click World Prayer Centre.]

Secondly, yesterday’s Facebook posting by seer Veronika West of this exceptionally powerful and encouraging vision:

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM!

“DAUGHTER WATCH! AS MY 7 SPIRITS BEGIN TO MOVE MIGHTILY, STRATEGICALLY AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY IN THE NEXT 7 MONTHS UPON THERESA MAY, FOR I AM BRINGING TO FULLNESS, COMPLETION AND PERFECTION MY KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES UPON THE 7 MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE IN THIS NATION”, says God.

On hearing these words, I saw a divine visitation and a divine encounter taking place in the life of Theresa May, the next 7 months will not only be a life-changing 7 months for Theresa May personally and spiritually but it will be a key time and a crucial time prophetically for us as a Nation.

THINGS ARE ABOUT TO BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT, GOD IS ABOUT TO REVEAL HIS GLORY AND POWER IN A NEW WAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

In the next 7 months as a Nation we are going to see the 7 Spirits of God begin to move mightily and suddenly upon the 7 mountains of Influence in the land, there will be such an acceleration and momentum taking place in the realms of the spirit that it will cause a mighty shifting and shaking to take place especially over the mountain of Government, Religion and Family, I hear these words, “A Special Forces Army of Mighty Awakeners and Reformers are now emerging and advancing in greater power and authority over the 7 mountains of influence, not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit you shall reclaim what has been stolen, recover what has been lost and revive what has been dead, as My Special Forces Army you shall rebuild the ancient ruins, pursue and overtake your enemies, overturn and overthrow every stronghold and throne of darkness, you shall occupy new ground and establish My Kingdom purposes of in the land”.

I Prophesy Over the next 7 months we will see the 7 Spirits of God moving in an unprecedented and unexpected way in our Nation, we will see and feel the tangible Power of His Glory gaining even greater momentum and acceleration over every sphere of influence, there will be a sudden manifestation of even greater Signs, Wonders and Miracles that will be birthed right across this Great Nation.

I Decree, In this next 7 months many in the body Christ in this Nation will begin to receive a new level and a new dimension of supernatural sight, divine wisdom, kingdom strategy and supernatural revelation. BE EXPECTANT AND BE READY? For God is releasing a finishers anointing for mighty Breakthrough in this hour and season, His Image Bearers are being freshly empowered and enabled to stand steadfast and strong against the powers of increasing darkness, I believe the hand of God is bringing to fullness and completion in this season what He started in the last season, and those that have been living in isolation and in the darkness of the caves shall suddenly Arise, Shine and go forth to reflect the true light, likeness, life and Power of the King of Glory, and like a moth to a flame those that have been living in deep darkness will suddenly see a great light and they will be drawn out and delivered from the pit of death and destruction. We will See and Testify to the Spirit of Truth removing the scales that have blinded many to their true Identity and Kingdom Destiny in this Nation, true Sonship is now being birthed.

Watch! For In the next 7 months many will see the Unquenchable Fires of God sweeping across our Nation, many will hear the sound of mighty rushing waters as the Rivers of Life and Liberty flow forth from their bellies upon a dry and parched land, many will see great mountains being Levelled and deep valleys being filled, many will feel the mighty Winds of His Resurrection Power beginning to blow upon the dry bones in this Nation, many will feel and experience the breath of Heaven breathing new life and new vision over that which has laid spiritually dormant and decayed.

Here below is a word I posted exactly 7 months ago I feel it is significant for the season we have now entered into as a Nation.: Continue reading

Update on geopolitical status of Syria vis-a-vis USA vs Russia

A very brief note on news and background report on the geopolitical situation behind the horrendously severe conflict in Syria.:

Interviewed by ITV News PM Theresa May reminded everyone the blame lies with the Assad regime and president personally, and she’s deeply pessimistic of any solution in the near future.

The dreadful attack against an aid convoy on 19th Sept could have been in some way connected to breakdown in communications not only between Russia and USA but also with US command over sharing of intelligence, as exclusively reported by Debka in US, Russia on brink of military showdown. Three weeks earlier they’d reported upon the ‘disconnect’ in Obama hands Syria over to Russia.

Over the weekend Bill Koenig’s World Watch Daily covered headlines on the deteriorating  diplomatic situation:

For a sound in-depth analysis read Why Putin Wants Syria published by Middle-East Forum in Spring 2016.

Lana Vawser: Rosh Hashana 5777 – I saw Jesus coming with a sword in His hand

LanaVawser‘As I spent time with Jesus today as Rosh Hashanah is upon us. I had a vision where I saw Jesus coming into the lives of believers and He was dressed as a warrior and had a HUGE SWORD in His hand.

“The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name” (Exodus 15:3)

‘He moved towards God’s people with such intentionality and victory. Each one of His steps was like the most skilled of warriors. His eyes FULL OF FIRE!!! As He moved towards God’s people He was wielding His sword back and forth. Every move SO precise. Every move made with perfect intention. The sense surrounded me that the Lord has been working deeply in the hearts and souls of His people in the last month, digging at roots and areas of demonic assault, all preparation for what He was about to do…’ continue reading on Lana’s blog

A word or two of wisdom – ‘coincidentally’, of course!

Coincidentally? How else on this blog? And when getting back to blogging after a welcome break!

Readers will know sooner or later there’s bound to be some ‘God-incidence’ of the sort Dr Sharon Stone used as an example when teaching on ‘divine guidance’ on Saturday.

‘Incident’ #1

Whilst away we bought a perpetual calendar on daily scriptural studies of NT Greek and decided to start using it from 1st October. Right away we observed an obvious example of the paucity of meaning conveyed in English translations. They may fail to do justice to the original language and thereby not give the depth needed for a full understanding of God’s word; as in the first example provided by Rick Renner :

“If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally.” James 1:5

‘ask’ (from ‘aito’ : to be adamant in requesting and demanding assistance to meet tangible needs).  The study likens this to respectfully approaching a superior with a very strong request in full expectation of getting what’s firmly requested.

‘When James tells us to “ask” God for wisdom we need, the Greek tense used is a command (imperative, emphasis RB). This plainly means God isn’t suggesting that we come to Him for wisdom – He is commanding us to do so!’

More from that verse was to follow the next day.: ‘of God’ (from ‘para theou’ : come right alongside God, as close as possible). The study reads: ‘If we want wisdom, we must come right up alongside God in order to obtain it. You see, God wants a relationship with us. He doesn’t want to just freely hand out answers to our problems, He wants us to come to Him. And the moment we get side-by-side with God He opens His hand and reveals everything we need to know and understand about the situations we are facing.’

I liked this last part in particular because it speaks into what had come to our attention the weekend before chilling out over our anniversary and my birthday – that Adam and Eve would hear the voice of God walking in the Garden of Eden and walk alongside and be in conversation with the Living Lord God.

BUT, they lost that direct connection and only a few patriarchs and prophets were blessed to get that close, direct relationship; the first being Enoch who so pleased God that he took him bodily into heaven.  In fact, that profound aspect of ‘The Fall’ featured in both morning messages we heard (at local church and on-line with CHP in Alabama – God: What Is He Like?) on 18th September.

‘Incident’ #2

Within an hour of reading that better definition ‘of God’ I read a mathematician’s remarks about Revelation 13:18 in a printout from a site I’m investigating:

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six”. (KJV)

Vernon Jenkins MSc writes in An Obligation Declined,

“Observe the use of imperative mood here (emphasis RB). Those who possess ‘understanding’ are required to proceed, as directed!

Oh what a ‘coincidence’!

‘Incident’ #3

Back to the usual routine with Monday morning’s tasks and then back to the pc I got ready to churn as quickly as possible through the mass of awaiting emails.  As soon as all had downloaded a new one from WordPress ‘pinged’ its presence at the top of the list. As with new post alerts it’s easy to read the introductory snippet and decide whether or not to read the full blog – but here’s yet another coincidence!!

On ‘the third day’, following hard on the heels of the two foregoing ‘incidents’ it would have been very difficult to ignore this opener by ‘Joseph’ to his latest opinion on the state of scientific endeavour, Are We Lost?..:

A Persian mathematician and astronomer by the name of al-Khwarizimi (died 850AD) spent his career working in the House of Wisdom; a fantastic mathematician from which we derive the algorithm. (Emphasis added)

Conclusion

In view of many observations upon ‘coincidences’ reported on this blog, I’d respectfully submit the following empirically ascertained equation for reader’s deliberation.:

3 coincidences =  1 ‘God-incident’

England

Originally posted on 24th May 2014 this prophetic vision is now featured on the home page in view of June’s successful referendum for Britain to leave the EU:

Fantastic! Thank you Lord for this blessing to my friend Tony in Tucson. A later post refers to a similar picture on a card for guests at the previous year’s Christmas breakfast, where my wife had brought a message: On The Majesty of His Majesty, King of Kings.

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I saw in a vision 05/23/2014, the country of England rise up but not completely out of the water, it seemed to become more prominent than it had before.  I saw a crown above the country sort of like the one pictured below but instead this one was covered with what looked like diamonds and light seemed to be radiating from the crown as it hovered over the country and giving that same light to the country.

Keep Praying and Bless: Day 70 – City of London & environs


Decree: I AM THE EXALTED HEAD OVER ALL

“Yours, O LORD is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom O LORD and You are exalted as head over all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11)

We decree that YOU, O GOD, ARE THE EXALTED HEAD OVER ALL THE BRITISH ISLES AND EVERY NATION OF THE WORLD, that YOURS IS THE GREATNESS, THE POWER AND THE GLORY, THE VICTORY AND THE MAJESTY.

Aaronic Blessing: The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, The Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace. Thus, we put His name upon you and He will bless you (Numbers 6:24-27).

Prophetic words on Britain and the EU’s demise cont’d

To continue on the double ‘coincidence’ of receiving a ‘joint message’ on the two themes on which I’d published a blog: first, the last night of the Proms – secondly, my recollection of the word received by one of those parties on the demise of the EU.:

News of expected stiff opposition to Brexit at the weekend’s summit of EU chieftains in Bratislava was ludicrous in view of national divisions and deep disquiet within the Union. In addition, there are several prophecies over many years about the Lord’s desire for Britain to get out of the EU whilst the going’s good. (See 16 prophecies listed here.)

In particular, I was minded of the very clear statement received by David Noakes last November and which some enthusiastic prophecy-buffs may have seized upon to the consternation of one of my cyber-friends.  Nevertheless, being addressed to “Nation of Britain” it’s highly relevant and the pertinent part reads:

“…Rather than rely on Me and my faithfulness to you, you chose, for worldly purposes, to join yourself to an institution which has denied my Name and refused to acknowledge Me in its councils. My fierce anger is upon that institution on account of its rebellion, its defiant rejection of me and its hardness of heart towards my ancient people Israel.

“I warn you now that the European institution will not repent, even though I bring disaster and destruction upon it. I urge you, O Britain still beloved by Me for the sake of your godly forefathers, come out of her, so that you may not be caught up in that same destruction, for I am even now arising in judgment to bring to nothing what she has sought to achieve. If you will separate yourself from her declared rejection of God, I will have mercy upon you and restore my hand of protection; and I will use you once again to bring light to many lost in the darkness which is now steadily increasing.

“Hear Me, O once godly nation and respond to my call, or you also will come to ruin in that same judgment of destruction. This is not my will for you, but you must choose the course which you will take. I urge you to respond to Me and choose life under my hand of discipline and protection, rather than death in the disaster which is even now coming upon Europe.” (UK/EU in/out #4: Prophetic Warning Urges “Come Out!”)

And so I was musing upon that theme and how current events will be affected by God’s plans and actions. Therefore, I was stunned to be updated only hours later!  Clifford Hill introduces the new message on what the Lord’s about to do in Britain and our need to be encouraged, whilst bringing expected disaster upon the EU, as follows.:

BRITAIN AT THE CROSSROADS (From A Prophetic Word To Britain)

C Hill 163835‘Today Britain is at the crossroads! We are a nation under judgement. We crossed a red line when we defied the God of Creation who made us in his own image – male and female – and we dared to redefine marriage, despising the beautiful love relationship that God intended for his people. Forty years ago we joined ourselves in a pact with European nations driven by humanist values and infiltrated by Satanists. They seek to live in unity and peace but are doomed to failure by their rejection of the Prince of Peace.

‘God has mercifully given to Britain the chance of deliverance from the marriage with the European Union and the opportunity to forge a new role in the world under his blessing. This could be a sign and powerful witness to the nations of the rewards that are open to all who seek a right relationship with God and are prepared to love and obey him.

‘There are many in Britain today who are fearful of the future because they lack understanding of the word of God and lack faith in the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many churchgoers who share that fear because they too have never really learned to recognise the word of the Lord as the sheep recognise the voice of their own Shepherd. But God is loving and merciful and he has a word for those who are anxious about the future since the vote to leave the EU. My friend and colleague David Noakes and I have worked together in the prophetic Ministry since the early 1980s. David received a word this week which I commend to all our readers.

‘Please read it prayerfully and weigh it carefully. I think it may bring you a blessing.’

A WORD OF PROPHECY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE BREXIT VOTE 

“Beloved, you who are called by My Name, I want to say to you in these days, when there is confusion and turmoil and upheaval: Do not be alarmed or concerned, for I am fully in control. I have brought about these circumstances, and my adversary is full of rage, and would like to oppose and if possible, to undo, that which I have done.

“My word to you is that I have done a good work, but I call upon you who are faithful to stand firm and to persevere in prayer that the work which I have begun will proceed to the conclusion which I have purposed. The task is far from complete and it is not a time for complacency, so be vigilant and continue to pray that I will complete the work. It will not be a short or an easy battle, so have courage and do not be tempted to lose heart.

“Have gentle hearts towards those who are confused and upset and distressed. There are those who feel that the nation is being thrown into exile, and this is causing them to feel afraid and angry, but they do not know that it is I who have brought this about. But I say that this seeming exile is in order to preserve you. You in Britain are like the good figs who were taken into exile before judgment fell (Jeremiah 24).

“There will be great darkness and upheaval in the European institution; but I have done this in your nation at this time in order to preserve you.

“Therefore, look up and be greatly encouraged, because out of this time of turmoil and upheaval will come great opportunity. Those of you who are committed to me I will uphold, I will protect, and I will send upon you a new outpouring of My Spirit, that you may speak My word in Spirit and in Truth; and My Spirit will bear witness to it and it shall bring forth fruit.

“I do not say that your whole nation will turn to Me, for that will not be the case; but beloved, I will bring multitudes into a valley of decision and many will turn to Me, for despite the apostasy which has gripped the nation, I have not failed to love the nation of Britain, and in My grace and mercy, I will continue to pour My love upon you, even though you have angered Me greatly.

“Take heart, be encouraged and look up. I will walk with you through the time of turmoil and upheaval. There will be those who will hate you for the testimony you will give, but I will cause many to repent and acknowledge that what you say is truth; for beloved, My people have been failed by many who now lead them, but I am come as the great Shepherd of the sheep. I want to recover My people and to gather many others into My sheepfold.

“Therefore be of good heart, and be afraid of nothing, for in the events of these times I am fully involved, and I will walk with you, every one of you, on every step of the uncharted path which lies ahead.

David Noakes 11th Sept 2016 

Notes:

  • Jeremiah reference is most informative and I realised later that the EU’s strong anti-Israel stance is another reason for the Lord’s detestation of that institution.
  • Prophecies of the EU’s collapse aren’t the sole province of Christians but secular experts have predicted it too!  Eg. Alasdair Macleod, Why the EU is Doomed.

Keep Praying and Bless: Day 65 – Bexley & environs


Decree: I AM THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY

“For yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.” (Matthew 6:13)

We decree that Yours, O God, is the Kingdom, the power and the glory.

Aaronic Blessing: The Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, The Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace. Thus, we put His name upon you and He will bless you (Numbers 6:24-27).

We bless the people in the British Isles with continually saying “Yours, O God, is the Kingdom, the power and the glory”, maintaining our Christian heritage.

Plus the Lord’s Prayer and the Prayer of Protection.

The Proms and prophecy on Britain and EU’s demise = a double ‘coincidence’!!

The post on Land of Hope and Glory Anthem should have been published last Monday but matters delayed it ’til Friday, yet I found it served to show the truth and reality of scripture:

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend (lit: ‘winnow’!) my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue (or pc!), but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit or where can I flee from Your Presence? (Psalm 139:1-6 NKJV) Selah!

MOREOVER, the moment I hit the ‘publish’ button an incoming email linked into almost identical wording and opinion!!  Mere coincidence or an awesome ‘God-incident’??

‘Disruption’ of Events?

  • Mon 12th intention to report on Last Night of Proms got waylaid by urgency of words on US presidential elections – and I got directed to rare, pertinent video of Trump.
  • + taking advantage of warm weather for outdoor work and other vital tasks make all online work intermittent;
  • + republishing couple of spiritual anniversary posts on due date;
  • + time to draft only bullet points on the Proms and not complete checking;
  • = Friday’s usual start of long weekend (cyber-silent). So ‘Proms’ item NOT posted!
Morning Coffee

Nero_6Unwinding over coffee and yummies with paper and crossword I laughed out loud at its front-page item – EU ploy to force UK rethink on Brexit. The strap-line reads – ‘The European Union elite seem to think the game is to make us change our minds’.

‘Senior figures in the EU believe that Britain will give up on Brexit if they make negotiations as tough as possible, The Telegraph understands. British officials are fighting to stop Europe adopting a no-compromise position in talks in the hope that the UK will change its mind about leaving the bloc...’. Other remarks show European Commission president Juncker likes insulting 17M voters’ intelligence.

Sheer folly!  I recall last November’s prophetic warning received by David Noakes (who’s known to us).

In mulling this over I recall a friend’s very recent vision regarding judgement on Parliament and wonder if this may be related to political consequences of trying to disrupt the Lord’s plans for New Britain, or even those of arrogantly changing His ordinance of marriage? We agreed it’s important to complete my final version about what happened to Nina and publish that mid-afternoon.

A Trip in a Time Machine

Hand with News icon - WatcharakunHad last Thursday been the usual full blogging day, subscribers would have got an email alert to that new post. The Lord, however, was at work with another writer and His hand brought that to my attention on-screen Friday!

Had it not been long-weekend offline and the actual post intruding into our time, it would have been followed by His astonishing confirmation.

So, let’s get in an imaginary time-machine and go back to when you may have read Holy Spirit Strikes During ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ Anthem.  Can you do that? Is it clear in your mind?

Open opening it you’d have read in the first paragraph that the anthem, ‘Traditionally featured with ‘Rule Britannia’ in the sensational climax to the Last Night of the Proms, was sung with exceptional gusto by a flag-waving public during the Proms 121st season.’

I’d hit the publish button at 15:30 hrs, logged off WordPress and was about to shut down my pc but checked incoming email ‘ping’ and saw it was the weekly update from Prophecy TodayUK. So I printed hard-copy to read at leisure – but the main feature STUNNED me!

As we’re in a time-machine, look at how A Prophetic Word for Britain, Clifford Hill’s joint message with David Noakes (issued at 15:04 hrs) opens:

‘I watched the Last Night of ‘The Proms’ last Saturday along with millions of other viewers and the vast open-air crowd in Hyde Park and similar gatherings in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Was it my imagination, or did anyone else detect an extra (Brexit?) fervency in the patriotism that flowed out of the Albert Hall in waves and resounded from the crowds across the road and other parts of the UK?… this year’s final night seemed to have an extra edge of enthusiasm. It was not just that a guest soloist, Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez (a foreigner!!), dressed in elaborate costume lustily sang’Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves’ but also the Finnish Conductor Sakari Oramo, (another foreigner!!) participated enthusiastically in singing ‘Jerusalem’.’

Sheer coincidence?  Regular readers will have occasionally noted how critical the timing of events can be for posts on certain matters, which strongly suggests their significance for some reason that’s ‘beyond our ken’.  Also, there’s a scriptural law of serendipity, as explained by prophecy teacher and mentor Revd Dr Sharon Stone (God-incidents).

So, in view of what I’d been reading earlier that day, I realised the importance of that word and trust you will visit PROPHECYTodayUK to consider it carefully too.
