Profound prophetic word: “My people have reached a tipping point”

Posted on by

This prophetic word brought by James Bailey and published on Z3 News resonates with and amplifies many words received about the Lord’s worldwide action. On a personal note, James’ opening remarks reflect what’s happened this week through God-incidents with this blog and email. James writes:

MY PEOPLE HAVE REACHED A TIPPING POINT

church_doors-235x350I started noticing changes. It has been over a week ago, increased intensity with increased excitement. It hasn’t gone away. It has increased more. Here is what I heard today:

“Just as the world has reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming, so have My people reached a tipping point and their fate is sealed and major changes are coming. Just as the world has cast out all restraint and entered into lawlessness, so have My people cast out fear and entered into fellowship, closer fellowship with Me. Because where there is fear there is torment and I do not want My people in torment, but My perfect love casts out all fear until the only thing left is fellowship, loving fellowship.”

“Things are beginning. Things that I have promised from long ago are now coming to pass. This is the day and the hour that you have awaited, that you have wanted to come for so long. Now it is here. Now it has come. I claim you to be My own. Deeper intimacy, this is what you have wanted. It has come. Stronger fellowship, this is what has come, greater peace, greater love, and far greater joy! For you belong to Me now.”

“I want you to walk with Me in fellowship like never before. I want you to know Me. Bind your heart to Me like never before. Make My paths straight before you. Let your feet never veer off course, neither to the right nor to the left, but stay on My path, for I put before you things that I, and only I, have desired from long ago, for you to know. But if you want to discover them, you will only find them on My path, which I put before you.”

“The day and the hour have finally come. My people get ready, for before you I leave an open door, and I say I am that door. So walk in, enter into the fellowship that I set before you. Come into the place. The table is set. The banquet is ready. I have prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies and they will know that I am before you and you are before Me. They will see it in the midst of you. They will know it and they will declare, I am the Lord God Almighty.”

“Make known my innermost counsel. Make known My plans before men. Make known My heart and My will and My purpose and My plan. Make known all things I declare to you. Make known My will above the plans of men, above the will of men. Make My plans clear. Make them known and let them be established in the earth.”

Lion Bites: the refining fire

Posted on by

Today’s Lion Bites word from Glasgow continues the earlier Invite My Fire! and I pray it deeply blesses you too:

THE REFINING FIRE

fire-of-Holy-Spirit-300x194Are you really ready for the heat to be turned up? With more heat comes more refining, more purity and a heart that ignites, burning with a fire for Him. The Lord is a consuming fire. Will you allow Him to burn up all the dross, so that what is left is pure gold?

Others may not like (they may be challenged by) what you carry. Because of the level of purity they may not be able to stand around you. Nevertheless, sons and daughters of the King, God will use you if you choose to allow Him to turn up the heat and ignite you afresh.

He will use His radiant, ‘on-fire’ ones like lasers. Just as a laser is super-concentrated energy that can cut out diseased flesh (in the hands of a skilled surgeon) to allow for new growth, so He will use those who allow Him to refine in the fire. Choose to be one who goes through the refining: be on fire, be pure, be concentrated, be accurate, be like refined gold. Speak out the Father’s words of life and truth wherever you go.

1 Peter 1:7
…so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

“OPEN up the gates!” decree and prophetic word for the UK

Posted on by

The following came to my attention soon after it was published by SOAR Prophetic International on 25th September. As would be expected, this prophetic word brought by Rebecca King is in harmony with other recent exhortations from Father’s heart for the British Isles. Rebecca is founding director of this Canadian and British international prophetic resource group and writes:

WORD FOR GREAT BRITAIN

Union Jack 672666_origI saw a release of angels coming towards us carrying supernatural energy to combat what I can only describe as complacency…. a slumber has come upon people in many cases and opened a door to complacency – which in turn has let in a difficult fatigue and with it a tendency towards laziness. At this point, I felt everything in me speak the command ‘open up the gates’ and at the sound of my voice and the strength of the command, heavy doors flew open. Even in the natural the weight of the doors would prevent this.  God is up to something.

I felt the Lord saying to leaders,

“Beware of locking yourself into your own plans and putting community and other leaders on the back burner” (emphasis added). 

Priorities will only bear good fruit when they are God’s priorities, and alignment with Sovereign priorities will bring into your storehouse what your heart is longing for – not necessarily sticking to your agenda.  His agenda must remain in front and centre for His Kingdom to be established.

This is not a season to ‘maintain.  It is a time to put one foot in front of the other and go ahead.  Steadily.  Do not miss a step – keep in time with the heartbeat of heaven.  God is opening ears and bringing a fresh sensitivity to this heartbeat and it will determine they rhythm for you to follow and walk with.

I ‘see’ the Lord handing out white envelopes containing a single piece of paper with the words ‘All Clear’ written on it.  These words ‘All Clear’, are words some of you have been waiting to hear but they don’t only relate to physical health.  Holy Spirit is saying that the way forward – up to this point blocked by rubble and baggage – has been opened up.

Do not be afraid of what you ‘think you see’ and do not rationalise your situation – it just may stop you from doing exactly what Holy Spirit is asking of you at this time.  The word being handed to you in the envelope is ALL CLEAR – and that is the declaration that will move you forward.

I also ‘see’ men and women standing together, dressed in a similar fashion – which shows me a willingness to work and to be together.  But unusually, all of the trousers (that each person is wearing) are far too short.  Everyone’s – across the board.  Not one of them is right.  I sense that Holy Spirit is saying that there is an invitation to step into new clothes, of a different size and style for the times ahead.  What fit last year is going to make you look silly this year and so the invitation is given to you now.  I see a man standing beside all of these men and women, with a tape measure in his hand and a pair of scissors as well and straight pins.  Holy Spirit is ‘at the ready’ to get the job done and get you clothed properly.   All that is required of you is that you make yourselves vulnerable – in the presence of your peers.  Holy Spirit will meet you there and make the necessary adjustments.

So to recap……a choice and a war against complacency, a stepping aside from everything that locks us into our own world and own plans.  A great declaration of All Clear’ and a redressing in order to be fully prepared for the new say.

Rebecca King

(Click above title for original post and comments. As with all prophetic words, this is for discernment and weighing against scripture and with the Lord. Rebecca’s reference to ‘complacency’ reminds me of Dr Stone‘s explicit warning of the same in her ‘clarion call’ of October 2013 not to miss our day of visitation – Prophetic words for 2014-16 for UK & Ireland: part 2 refers.)

Confirmation of prophetic word: holy winds of change

Posted on by

After Howling Fresh Wind by Patsy Southway was auto-published on this blog today, I  tinkered around with news relating to climate change. Unbeknown to me Angela Jelf was beavering away with a comment on that post and which warrants publication as some may have missed it. Angela writes as follows, and I’ve taken the liberty to show the Lord’s word as a quotation:

Hi Richard,
After reading this, I just felt prompted to share a word that God gave to me on June 15th last year (strangely enough, when I went to find my old journal which I’d written this word down in, lo and behold, it was folded open on exactly the right page!)

“For some time the church in the UK has been battling against a head wind. We’ve had the wind against us. Despite our best efforts, particularly in the area of evangelism, progress has been slow. It’s as though we’ve had the wind and rain in our face, and been buffeted by the elements. There’s been a sense of three steps forward and two steps back. But there is a fresh wind blowing! A wind of change is on the way! It’s the wind of the Holy Spirit and its coming to our aid! It’s a tail wind which will propel us forward! Acceleration is suddenly coming. The Lord has heard our cry, He has seen our growing hunger for breakthrough. Suddenly those things that were difficult will suddenly be done with ease, because it’s not about your effort. Hope is carried on this wind. When you feel this wind you must hoist up your sails! Hoist up your sails and get ready for acceleration! Some of you have longed for things, for salvation for family members, for breakthrough in healings and miracles – let fresh hope arise today for it will surely come about.

“This wind comes upon my church to propel you out! You will go out into the community, to the highways and byways. You will no longer stay hidden behind four walls. This wind will send you OUT and propel you to new horizons.

“This wind also blows through the harvest – it is blowing on the lost and broken, the sinner with the hardest heart – this wind is stirring the harvest. It’s blowing now! I see dandelion clocks, the little seeds caught on the wind. The seed of the gospel will be caught on this wind and will travel far and wide! It will propel the lost and the prodigal into my house. They will not be able to resist this wind as it carries such power. For it’s the wind of my Spirit!”

Praise God – I truly believe the time is now!”

In response to my reply Angela added, “Thanks Richard – I haven’t blogged about it. Just shared it at our church…The wonderful thing is, we are beginning to see a shift. Prodigals are beginning to return, and last week five people responded to the gospel on a course at our church!”

Praise the Lord – more, much more Lord!

Footnote:

The Lord seems to be turning our attention back to this prophetic promise – even halting us in our tracks, turning us around so we don’t miss what He wants us to realise!!  That is, He gave a similar word not only to Patsy last May but also to others during the first half of this year about waves and winds, as well as a few years ago in  what I’d term a ‘tame tornado’.

See Library and Weighing waves, tsunami & tornado and a turning the tide, to which Tony Puccio reminded me of dreams about a Cleansing wind and Winds of change in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Also, I’m nudged to add and to check the date – it is worth re-reading the important Prophetic word on Hurricane Sandy brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone THREE YEARS AGO TODAY!

Therefore, I need to urge you and me to ‘NB’ – nota bene; pay especial attention!

PS: note Maray’s thoughts below…

Patsy Southway: howling fresh wind!

Posted on by

PwordAs well as harmonising with several recent prophetic words this follow-on from Patsy has a particularly pertinent reference to ‘Acceleration’, which has often been referred to on this blog. Patsy writes:

Patsy SouthwayThis morning (Thurs 29th October) I awoke at 5am to a howling wind blowing all around the house.  With my window open, I could hear the trees swaying and the many leaves being blown about.

I was reminded that earlier this year, during the month of May, God spoke to me about a FRESH WIND (earlier blog) and this morning as I was listening to a natural wind, He said that

“I am sending another FRESH WIND!”

In this NEW fresh wind, we, his children, are being given a choice.  We can choose to embrace what He is doing and flow with that, which means we will be totally out of our depth! OR we can choose to continue in the same way.  Doing ‘stuff’ as we have been, or embracing the NEW, it’s all good; but the NEW is better than the OLD!!

Sadly, I saw many people getting offended as this FRESH wind was blowing away strong cobwebs (some established networks, I believe) to make way for the NEW.  I was sensing His heart, the desire for us, his sons and daughters, to have a desire to embrace the NEW!

ACCELERATION

I saw an acceleration of AWAKENING!  This also, He had already spoken to me about earlier this year.  There is an acceleration to RIGHTEOUSNESS – the righteousness of God upon the NATIONS.

Changes in our Governments, Churches, Schools and families were happening as Holy Spirit brings about Heavens plans and strategies.  I felt that too many of us, His family, have embraced a mantle of hopelessness where more attention has been paid to news reports rather than what Father is saying and doing.  John 5:19

This morning, let’s break off ANY ungodly attachments in Jesus name and embrace this NEW WIND that He is releasing.

PRAYER

As some of you will know, this month we officially started our HOP (A303 House of Prayer) this was in obedience to what God had shown me a few years ago.  As I was journaling earlier this week He reminded me of the Prayer Hubs that we will be connecting with across the nations.

As there is a ‘return to prayer’ happening right now, we will see these NEW hubs surfacing.  They will be connected by those with a burning passion to see the Kingdom Of God powerfully over their villages, towns and cities with the effects rippling out to ALL the nations. Lastly, as I was reading Johns gospel this morning 6:27/29 the disciples were asking Jesus, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered:

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Amen.

Angelic reveille over the British Isles cont’d – fresh wind globally

This continues Patsy Southway’s prophetic dream she published on PICK Ministries as Great Britain – Angels of Wake Up! and which is reposted on this blog here. A week later Patsy writes:

Patsy SouthwayFollowing on from my first blog regarding the Angels of Wake Up published on the 22nd August, as I was sensing that there would be a ‘part two’ this is what was released to me during the week while I joined others hungry for more of God.

God reminded me of the Angels of Wake Up and then in an open vision showed me a HUGE clock.

There were so many parts to this clock, from tiny cogs to very, very large wheels.  Near the base of this clock was a large circular piece, a movement, that was swaying clockwise – anti-clockwise, clockwise then anti-clockwise in that rhythm.  I found myself physically moving with the rhythm of this HUGE clock.  Tick tock – tick tock – tick tock. Then I began singing a little prophetic jingle – Tick tock, tick tock, it’s time to STOP, it’s time to stop, anything that’s not in God’s Rhythm!

Anything that’s out of His timing, out of His rhythm, will cause this huge clock to malfunction.  I could then see the disorder that comes when we’re not flowing with Him.

FRESH WIND

As I continued to admire this beautiful HUGE clock, I felt a fresh wind coming and bringing with it a SETTING IN ORDER of that which is out-of-sync.  I also saw a REPOSITIONING of many people in preparation for something much bigger that’s coming!

Then God showed me a map of His World.  In several places, in different nations, I could see people on trains and buses being brought to a halt!   Masses of people getting off transport and wondering what to do?  Where to go?  At the onset of these happenings there is total chaos.  This reminded me of the current refugee crisis in Europe, but I sensed that these were people ‘in general’ just going about their business on their way to work, etc.

It was as though someone had switched off the power for commuting!!  Trains and buses coming to a halt!!

FEAR NOT

As I’m seeing this, wondering what’s going to happen…….SUDDENLY Heaven comes down.  There is calm, there is peace, there is order, there is organisation, there is MULTIPLICATION (previous blog) of food, of water, of life!!  Because the LIFE-GIVER has come!

Whatever chaos, whatever strategies and plans the enemy has dreamed up, our God, our Father, is SINGING over us.  He releases LIFE – PURPOSE – DESTINY!

As Father has released these Angels of Wake Up to the United Kingdom, and I believe in other NATIONS also, (in particular, America) placing them in strategic places; awakening the WATCHMEN, awakening the INTERCESSORS and generally AWAKENING His CHURCH, our response must be to join Him.  To intercede for the Governments, the Cities and the Nations, in preparation, for this imminent outpouring that, as yet, this world has never known and we will move into an entirely NEW LEVEL of what it means to be a CHRISTIAN – a CHRIST-follower in these days.

Such GLORIOUS days ahead…

Simon Braker: a dream of judgement/revival in USA

Posted on by

Hand Holding Puzzle Piece by PonsulakIn drafting an email about developments in UK, I wanted to insert a link to my latest posts. BUT something made me check that its opening link does work and WOW! I don’t usually bother with Facebook but this opened up Simon’s main page and I saw the first lines of what he’d just posted this morning. Intrigued, I clicked ‘More’ and read:

I’ve held this word for quite some time it came as a dream  –

A dream for the United States of America

I found myself sat in what can only be described as a frantic courtroom …
I sat and watched as one witness after another presented their evidence
One came forward and shouted with tears look at this wickedness!
I looked and saw horrific pictures of dead babies and children,
Then another came and shouted look at this greed
Then another look at this pride
Then another look at this corruption
This went on as more and more irrefutable evidence of guilt was given.

It got to the point that the courtroom was in a frenzy of outrage

Yet the high judge just sat and listened until every accusation had been given and all the evidence had been submitted,

Once all this was done he still sat silent,
All the people stood and chanted guilty, guilty, judge them, judge them!

Finally with a loud voice the judge said, “Silence!!”.
Immediately every person became silent and sat down

The judge spoke and said – “I have heard all and seen all, the guilt of these lands of the United States of America is indeed great!

“I have decided judgment is indeed due and right!”
The people cheered, he commanded them to be silent!

“Before I pass my judgment I have one last witness, can the Holy Spirit take the stand please,”

An old woman came forward she was old but not frail in any way her eyes shone as she stood in the dock –

The judge spoke – “Do you have your evidence?”
“I do indeed” and she pointed to the video screen.
There appeared an image of a small child on her knees praying then a teenager then an adult, image after image appeared of more and more Believers of every age, class and race falling to their knees in prayer, then screen went black,

The judge spoke – “Is this the last of your evidence?”
The old woman responded “Yes!”

“Please step down” the judge replied.

All eyes in the room were fixed on him.

“Your evidence is indeed compelling, yet the guilt of this land is indeed great, in fact it grows daily I have therefore chosen judgment”,

He place a black cloth over his head took the hammer in his hand and struck the gavel and said “I find this land worth of………

“A Great revival the likes of which has never been seen before or will be seen again!”

As he said this blood poured forth from his throne and swept every accuser out of the room,

I then saw a map of the United States going up in flames as God began the answer the prayers of his burning ones,

the Lord spoke and said, “The guilt of this land is indeed great but my praying church and my shed blood is greater! So I grant a great revival that will take every street town and city for I will not have the cries of my people unheard, this land will arise and she will indeed shine!

“In what seems to be her darkest hour she shall shine at her brightest!”

RB Notes:

This is especially interesting in view of yesterday’s correspondence with Pat Schatzline. One of my regular contributors emailed after I’d précised his recent teaching at CHP (as here), and so I replied and copied to his ministry, little expecting to get a reply from him. He’s deeply moved by the dream and I responded as follows on revival in USA:

“What I particularly noted was the word about revival the Lord gave you for Pastor John (Kilpatrick), which I’d previously noted and blogged after the New Year (see later half of  https://richards-watch.org/2015/01/06/prophecies-fulfilled-3-contd-revival-to-re-visit-usa/)”

I kept Simon in the loop on his Facebook, to which he responded and I’ve emphasised:

“Bless you for helping to get the word out my friend, much appreciated! And I’m glad it’s blessing. I have to say it was one of the most profound words I’ve ever been given“.

Simon Braker: a season of new mantles

Posted on by

Simon_Braker-147x150School of the Prophetic Leicester’s Facebook page dated 23 October has the following by Simon Braker.  My thanks go to Suzanne Payne for notifying me on Friday but which I didn’t read until today. This is such an appropriately encouraging follow-up to the last  post, Shut That Door! (to which a couple of readers have already responded). Please see my footnotes too:

Simon writes:

I felt the Lord say:

My body has entered into a season of new mantles. Many have served faithfully like Joseph in this last decade they have served and refused to be offended, they have took rejection misrepresentation and even personal attack yet they have stayed true, some have suffered great personal loss yet in all the testing they have stayed true to me and have refused to become bitter.

In this next season I’m releasing new mantles of authority and Anointing,

Many who have lived many years with a distant dream and longing shall now step into the manifestation of the promise, I am releasing new mantles of Anointing for this next move of my Spirit, I have a new breed of prophets and apostles who will help build for the new wine of my presence,

This will not be a time of great ministers but of great teams and great churches, the days of the corporate blessing are upon you,

I’m raising up diplomats who will know how to function across streams, nations and networks and I’m birthing in this time a global unity across my body the likes of which has never been seen before, this unity will become the foundation from which the promise of discipling nations shall begin to come to pass.

Lion Bites: Shut that door!

Posted on by

Lion-Bites-logo-2012After making a minor amendment to the Library of Prophecies’ cross-reference to its sub-page on ‘A New Era for the Church’, I noted today’s word had arrived from Glasgow Prophetic Centre. It is published with their kind permission:

SHUT THAT DOOR!

The Lord says,

“It is time to close the door to the previous season once and for all. It is time to shut it, lock it and throw away the key!”

You have been in a prolonged season of confusion and, although you have heard many prophetic statements of ‘the season coming to an end’, this has yet to be your reality. Continuing in this season makes you afraid but know that God is not a God who would leave you there.

And the Spirit says to you,

“Power lies in your choice. If you choose to move out of where you are and move into my grace, it will become your reality. The choice is yours to close the door to the previous season and open the door to the next. For I have given you the keys to the season in your hands. I have given you the ability to shut the old door behind you and lock it fast… and begin to unlock the door to the next season.”

If you feel your spirit leap at this invitation from the Holy Spirit and want to choose to walk fully into the new season you can pray prayer like this:

Father God, I now choose to close the door to this previous season of confusion. I am sorry for where I have procrastinated in the old but I now declare that I am out of that season. I now choose to move with your grace, I choose to move into the season ahead that you’ve got for me.

1 Corinthians 14:33 – For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

Is the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ re-appearing?

Nelson Walter’s Star of Bethlehem Sign Repeats Again This Week (click to read original) is re-blogged in connection with a recent post, as in my footnote below:

VenusandJupiter 2015In June 2015, a once in 2000 year conjunction of Venus and Jupiter recreated what many think “may” have been the Star of Bethlehem.  The occurrence of this sign just a couple of days after the Supreme Court’s decision in favor of Same Sex marriage led me to write this post {click here}. It has turned out to be the most popular of all the posts on this site with over 300,000 views. You may want to re-read it.

This Star of Bethlehem sign is repeating again this week. If you wake before sunrise this week in the USA, Venus and Jupiter will come within 1 degree of separation on October 25-26 high in the eastern sky. Amazingly Venus and Jupiter are again coming into conjunction in the constellation of Leo the Lion near the “King star” Regulus. This is the same exact location (near Regulus) in the constellations that was the site of the original “Star of Bethlehem” conjunction in 3 BC and the conjunction in June 2015. We discuss this in the previous article as well. I find that coincidence  amazing.

I have been watching Venus and Jupiter get ever closer together in the morning sky for weeks now. (I leave for work pretty early). This conjunction will not be as dramatic as the June one, but seeing the two brightest objects in the sky (other than the moon) that close is something to see. In North Carolina (my home state), the skies have been brilliantly clear to view it.

Is there a prophetic meaning to this sign repeating yet again? I don’t know. Certainly the second advent of our King grows closer and closer every day. Is God continuing to send us subtle warning signs for us to begin to “get ready?”

RB’ Note: I’ve corrected my reference to astronomical data for 23rd September 2017 in Supermoon Monday’s ‘Blood-moon’ and the ‘Age to Come’. Whilst writing it I was aware of this Summer’s conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, but as Charlie Shamp was not so specific in his very brief remarks I’d assumed it’s that kind of event he’s anticipating. It is not. In view of his reference to Revelation 12 he was referring to what informed observers are expecting for the constellation of Virgo – a reference to which I’d also provided. Please accept my apology for any confusion.

Let’s continue boasting about who Jesus is…

566xNxfiery-furnace_jpg_pagespeed_ic_aXtdrK6kJ2Continuing the previous post, we exalt with Pat Schatzline the identity of the fourth man in the fiery furnace, whom Nebchadnezzar described as a ‘Son of God’ and officially declared and affixed his royal seal thereto that,

“…No other god can save in this way!”

Excitedly, Pat continues recounting His identities in the New Covenant as follows:

“Hallowed be Thy Name”:

  • in Matthew, He is The Messiah.
  • in Mark, He is the Wonder-worker.
  • in Luke, He is the Son of Man.
  • in John, He is the Son of God.
  • in Acts, He is the Holy Spirit and Fire.
  • in Romans, He is our Justifier.
  • in Corinthians, He is the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
  • in Galatians, He is the Redeemer from the curse of the law.
  • in Philippians, He is the God Who Supplies All Our Needs.
  • in Ephesians, He is the Christ of Unsearchable Riches.
  • in Colossians, He is the Godhead Bodily.
  • in 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, He is the Soon-Coming King.
  • in Timothy I and II, He is our Mediator between God and Man.
  • in Titus, He is our Faithful Pastor.
  • In Philemon, He is the Friend that Sticks Closer than a Brother.
  • in Hebrews, He is the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant.
  • in James, He is the Great Physician.
  • in I and II Peter, He is the Chief Shepherd who shall soon appear with a crown of unfading glory.
  • in I, II and  III John, He is the Everlasting Love.
  • in Jude, He is the Lord Coming with Ten Thousands of His Saints.
  • in Revelation, He is the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

“Do you know my King? Do you know the fourth Man? Lift your hands and praise…praise Him!”

Reading from the overhead screen Pat had to interrupt these exciting declarations after saying “Soon and Coming King”. Rapidly speaking under the anointing he declared,

“He just told me to remind this house who He is. There is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, not a thing! You can’t write it down because, He said to Moses “Tell them I AM sends you, Elohim, the I AM, sends you: LORD, Sovereign LORD. Tell them that’s who sends you”.

“It means I AM everything that you could ever imagine will supply My people’s needs!”

The last description applies to His Name as El Shaddai, which reminds me of how Paul Keith Davis tells of a Jewish listener saying that, “El Shaddai is the God of utter ruin and destruction, who’s able to supply all that man cannot”.

Watch this thrilling message on Church of His Presence video (start 1:39:10). Pat’s opening prophecy may be read on this blog at Revival in the USA – a prophetical perspective from ‘over The Pond’.

With grateful acknowledgement to Pat Schatzline and to CHP for the great blessing of all this information. Pat’s website is located at Remnant Ministries International.

More biblical boasting on who Jesus is…

PatSchatzline-chp‘Live wire, rapid fire’ Pat Schatzline says, “I have a sleep disorder called revelation!”.

His focus last Sunday prompted me to resurrect a ‘Do You Know Him?’ video from a menu page published in April 2012. Hence, this week’s earlier post, Let’s boast in who Jesus Christ is, because…

566xNxfiery-furnace_jpg_pagespeed_ic_aXtdrK6kJ2Pat’s message is based upon the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refusing to bow down to king Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, and the fourth man with them in the fiery furnace. The king describes him as “like a son of the gods” (Aramaic; ‘being-like to-son-of Elohim’, Daniel 4:27).

First, however, Pat stresses the importance of ‘bragging on the Lord’ because the Lord told him that’s the difference between meetings where there’s lots of healing miracles and none. Pat wants to go to churches with ‘ed’ on Sunday, where he can talk about what God did there and brag about it, all in accord with scripture!

His prophetical message (see ‘Revival on the Gulf Coast’ header here) about the new era notes that the days ahead will require a new level of praise, as in Psalm 150:1-6 and the congregation rises up with him:

“It’s what washes your mind. You gotta praise when you get up, praise when doing things in the day, praise when you go to sleep – it will keep you from doing dumb things.”

Pat’s been on a very intense journey since being there last Summer because the Lord’s been saying, “If you’ll allow me to take you to the places of revival, you’ll be part of the next one”.  So he’s been reading history books and writing one on the present lack of altar-calls to repentance, which thereby break demonic bondage rather than as in some services where demons are sanctified.

“He hasn’t abdicated! He is still on the throne and He’s calling us back to the altars…You’ve GOT to get your eyes on Him because the culture’s intense right now: right is wrong and wrong is right – faith is being challenged at every level!

“When you use scripture the world’s against you because of political correctness and so you’ve got to know who you are in Christ…

“I’m watching prophets running round who are friends of mine and they’re declaring gloom and doom. I get it – the four blood moons, the shemitah, signs and wonders on earth – I understand all that kind of stuff and believe it! But I’m watching all that and think:

“We’ve gotta talk some life here, we’ve gotta realise everybody ain’t saved yet…BUT what if we praise Him, we just praise Him!

Pat quotes 1 Peter 4:12 and 13 – ‘Dear friends do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering as though something strange were happening to you but rejoice that you participate in the suffering of Christ so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed’, reinforced by The Message version of Matthew 6:26. He continues,

“God told me what to tell you is to brag on Him and  things in your life will change – turn that stupidity off your TV! Learn to brag on Him, brag on Him, brag on Him…Look what it says in His Word at Isaiah 60:1-5,

‘Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon YOU. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn…’

Recounting, with video, the account of Daniel’s friends being saved in the furnace by the fourth man, he reminds us the king issued an Empire-wide decree that anyone saying anything against these three men’s god be executed and homes demolished. Why? Because “No other god can save in this way”!

So too, ‘the fourth man’ is with us in all our trials. As Pat struggled in the night preparing this message the Lord told him to boast about Him because of what’s about to be done and seen wherever He’s praised.

He concludes by revealing the identity of that fourth man whereby we may boast of the Father and Son; or in other words, to introduce our King:

  • in Genesis, He is the Seed of the Woman.
  • in Exodus, He is The Passover Lamb.
  • in Leviticus, He is the our High Priest.
  • in Numbers, He is the Pillar of Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night.
  • in Deuteronomy, He is the Prophet like unto Moses.
  • in Joshua, He is the Captain of our Salvation (and of the heavenly host).
  • in Judges, He is our Judge and Lawgiver
  • in Ruth, He is our Kinsman Redeemer.
  • in 1st & 2nd Samuel, He is our Trusted Prophet.
  • in Kings and Chronicles, He is our Reigning King.
  • in Ezra, He is our Faithful Scribe.
  • in Nehemiah, He is the Rebuilder of the Broken-down Walls in our lives.
  • in Esther, He is our Mordecai.
  • in Job, He is our Dayspring from on high and our Ever-living Redeemer.
  • in Psalms, He is The Lord our Shepherd.
  • in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, He is our Wisdom.
  • in the Song of Songs, He is our Lover and our Bridegroom.
  • in Isaiah, He is The Prince of Peace.
  • in Jeremiah, He is the Righteous Branch.
  • in Lamentations, He is the Weeping Prophet.
  • in Ezekiel, He is the Wonderful Four-faced Man.
  • in Daniel, He is the Fourth Man in our Fire (and Son of Man).
  • in Hosea, He is the Faithful Husband, forever married to the ‘backslider’.
  • in Joel, He is the Baptiser in the Holy Spirit and Fire.
  • in Amos, He is our Burden-Bearer.
  • in Obadiah, He is the Mighty To Save.
  • in Jonah, He is our Great Foreign Missionary.
  • in Micah, He is the Messenger of Beautiful Feet carrying the Gospel.
  • in Nahum, He is the Avenger of God’s Elect.
  • in Habakkuk, He is God’s Evangelist crying out, “Revive Thy work in the midst of the years!”.
  • in Zephaniah, He is the Saviour who sings songs over me.
  • in Haggai, He is the Restorer of God’s Lost Heritage.
  • In Zecharia, He is the Fountain Open in the House of David for sin and uncleanliness.
  • in Malachi, He is The Son of Righteousness Risen with Healing in His Wings.

“Do you know Him?

“I don’t care what you’re walking through;

“He said, if you put me as pre-eminent, I’ll change the atmosphere,

“If you’ll learn how to praise me, I’ll change the atmosphere,

“If you’ll learn how to trust me again, I’ll change the atmosphere…I have the power to transform your…to transform what’s been coming against you..”

An exceptionally inspirational message! Much of it reinforces the prophetic word from Jerusalem received on the first day of the past Feast of Tabernacles – read it again.

Also, those are Old Covenant identities of the Fourth Man – so there’s more to come in the New. First, however, let’s mull over and appreciate Who the Lord is.

Now, to continue boasting in who Jesus is >>>

Sacred space in a busy world? – take a Quiet Day

Acorn Q-day2If you have a day to spare you may like to consider the next Quiet-Day at Acorn, Sacred Space in a Busy World  (click for details). Located near the A3 in East Hampshire it’s easily accessible from Surrey, West Sussex and London. Maybe it’s time for you to have a day out with Him?

Busy bashing my blog on Thursdays I’m giving up next week’s for time out with the Lord. As you may have gathered from Not blogging but…, it was well-worth my attending a recent day Quiet Day.

Acorn Q-day1That day’s focus was on how to sit, walk and stand, as Paul teaches in his letter to the Ephesian church. Additionally, I gained confirmation from the Lord about the blog’s theme at that time, plus some other personal scriptures. This subsequently bore fruit in reading and later discussing the Book of Daniel as a result of Nelson Walter’s thought-provoking blog, which I hope to cover soon.

I went on that day trying to put aside concerns about how to reschedule what was in the pipeline until the next week. From the outset I was amazed, so there wasn’t any need for concern. It all proved to be in the Lord’s hands for, as in Romans 8:28, He works out all things to the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Let’s boast in who Jesus Christ is, because…

Let him who boasts boast in the Lord (2 Cor 10:17 NIV)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV)

One of the latest comments on this YouTube version reads:

“I’m not looking for likes I just want to share this. I was lying in bed watching this with a badly scraped knee to where I could not move it. After 2 minutes passed a hot chill shot through my body and my pain stopped and I could fully move my leg. I felt the love and passion from God through me. Please if you believe this was the power of the loving beloved, please respond with amen. I lift your name on high.” (KPX)

Amen!

If you’re a visitor to this blog and don’t believe in Jesus Christ I invite you to consider my few notes, Do You Know Jesus?  On that page hear Shadrach Meshach Lockridge tell where God came from and how He created everything – it’s a clever, brief exposition and asks the same question, “Do you know Him?”

Monday Mirth – God loves drunkards too!

Posted on by

At 3.00 am this morning a man and his wife were awakened by a loud pounding on the door. The man got up and went to the door to find a drunken stranger standing in the pouring rain.

He’s asking for a push!

“Not a chance,” says the husband, “It’s 3 in the morning!” He slams the door and goes back to bed.

“Who was that?” asks his wife. “Some drunk guy asking for a push,” he answers.

“Did you help him?” she asks. “No, I didn’t, it’s 3 in the morning and it’s pouring with rain!”

“Well, you have a short memory,” says his wife. “You’ve forgotten last month when our car broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him. And you..”, she says, “You should be ashamed of yourself! God loves drunk people too you know”.

Groaning, the husband does as he’s told, gets dressed and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, “Hello, are you still there?”.

“Yes”, comes back the answer.

“Do you still need a push?” calls out the husband.

“Yes please!” comes the reply from the dark.

“But I can’t see you. Where are you?” asks the husband.

“Over here – on the swing…” replied the drunk 🙂

[With thanks to the original, unknown source and to a local church maintenance team in So’ton. When I thanked our friend in person I grinned and reminded him the church was full of ‘drunks’ at its birth!! The incredulity and shocked look was amusing for, being an Anglican, he doesn’t appreciate what Pentecost must have been like! 

He was enlightened when I said the disciples were so full of the Holy Spirit that people thought they were drunk (Acts 2:13). However, telling of abundant joy and merriment experienced nowadays when He brings refreshing to those who invite and celebrate His Presence is beyond our friend’s comprehension, for the present.

I pray that everyone reading this amusing post will be thoroughly blessed by the fullness of the Lord’s Spirit…Amen.]

Dr Maurice Sklar vision: “Tell them all, the Day of The Lord is upon you now!”

As well as receiving a prophetic word re. Israel (on war, times of the Gentiles) during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles,  28 Sept – 4 Oct), Dr Maurice Sklar reported another personal experience on Facebook. Similar to the vision in chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation, it is re-posted below:

“THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!”

Dr M Sklar

Dr M Sklar

Nearly every day since I have arrived in Jerusalem this year, I have received something from God. Yesterday, as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, Connie Wilson, who was in her kitchen preparing a brunch, and who is flowing so strong in the prophetic, began to quote the old praise and worship song from Joel:” Blow the Trumpet in ZION, ZION…for the day of the LORD is….and she paused for a second…it’s HERE!”.

As soon as she spoke the word…HERE…I was caught up in a prophetic experience / vision which lasted several hours. Though I could still function in “the natural” somewhat, I was overwhelmed in my spirit. This is what I experienced:

First, I saw I was in what looked like a Cathedral, and a courtroom at the same time. There were two rows of twelve angels. One to the left and one to the right in parallel columns facing each other. They had long golden trumpets in their right hands. They simultaneously put them to their mouths and blew a long blast. It grew louder and louder until the building itself began to shake and I could not bear the sound and fell on my face. Then, after I was helped up to my feet again by my angel, I saw a majestic throne. I could see the Outline of our Heavenly Father, but I could not see his face. It was just blinding light that I could not look at for very long. Under him stood Michael the Archangel. He was a giant warrior, clothed in glorious armor and stood like a statue almost, with his arms folded. A great sword was in a sheath at his right hip. He had a bronze-like color to his face, and a grim, but noble and exalted expression. He was standing right under God’s throne and in the middle between the two columns of angels who blew the trumpets. Then, I was allowed to look around, and I saw other thrones that were grouped in a semi-circle around and above them. They had black robes on, and looked like they were judges. I knew that this must be like the Supreme Court of Heaven. As my eyes seemed to adjust to the brightness, then I could recognize some of those who were Judges in this great meeting. They were some from the Bible, and others who were from both Jewish and Christian history that were Overcomers. They were seated with crowns on their heads of stunning glory and majesty. It was clear that this meeting was extremely important and there was a great awesome holiness in the giant room. The Angels that blasted their trumpets seemed to exit to the sides of the room. Michael stood like a statue in the same place. Then, Gabriel stepped forward next to him and cried out, “THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!!” Then, in absolute unison, every one on their thrones dropped to their knees and began to worship. Then, an Angel that I could not recognize, came forward with a scroll in his hand. It had an old-fashioned type of wax-like seals on it that held it closed. There were seven big wax-like seals on it that were bright red. He gave it to the Ancient of Days who took it. Then the LORD spoke, “WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THIS? WHO IS FOUND WORTHY TO BREAK THE SEAL?” Then, every one began to weep. Suddenly, I started weeping as well. None of those great men and women were worthy. We all could see where we had sinned and failed in our lives. None were worthy. Then, the Lord Yeshua our Messiah just appeared in front of the throne, but facing us. He was looking at each of us as if we were the only ones in the room. Then, I saw he changed! He became a Lamb…then He became the biggest and most noble Lion that I had ever seen. And every few moments, He would transform from a Man, to a Lamb, and then to a Lion, and then back to a Man. When He was in the form of His body as a Man, I could see the holes in His hands. Then, he turned around and took the scroll from the Father. There was total silence. Then, a huge shout came! It seemed that all of heaven was watching and joined in! A ROAR of PRAISE erupted. Now all the Judges were on their feet. They said in unison, “WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO TAKE THE SCROLL AND LOOSE THE SEALS THEREOF!!” This proclamation, though I heard it in English, was shouted by all of heaven in every language at the same time. Yeshua then sat down on His throne next to the Father. He took the scroll, and it seemed like I zoomed in and could see it clearly. He broke the first seal, and said, as He was looking into me with His glorious eyes of fire and love, “TELL THEM ALL, THE DAY OF THE LORD IS UPON YOU NOW!”. Then the experience ended.

May God have mercy on us all! Amen and AMEN.

Dr Maurice Sklar: Blood moon prophetic word re. Israel

Posted on by

The concert violinist and Messianic Jew, Dr Maurice Sklar, was the recipient of a couple of revelatory events during The Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. The first appears below as published on Facebook (click title for original and commenting thereto). As with all prophetic words and visions both are to be weighed against scripture and with the Lord. (The second follows tomorrow – now published):

A PROPHETIC WORD:

The LORD says, “War is coming against Israel! Just as I have clearly spoken in My Word, and just as I have confirmed through my holy servants the true Prophets, I will hold it back no longer. You say to Me, “What do all of these signs converging together this month mean?” Many of My church are in fear, thinking only of doomsday and despair. Some leaders are trying to tell fortunes and predict days and times, thinking that I must do what they say when they predict it. Some are making millions of dollars by merchandising and sensationalizing these events to the point it is idolatry and distraction instead of sound prophetic ministry. I (the LORD) am far greater than your false prognosticators and charlatans. Do not follow after those deceivers – you must judge them and their ministries by their fruits and take everything you hear and judge it according to My Word.

To My beloved Bride: Look and see the signs in the heavens and upon the earth. Notice them, but don’t focus on them! Keep your eyes on Me! I am the LORD, not the sun, moon, or stars. I am greater than any event that has or will come to shake the heavens and the earth. Many of My people are crying out to Me in prayer for clarity and guidance right now. So, I will answer you… I will explain to you a little bit of what is shortly to come to pass….So your heart will not be troubled…

I am announcing to the world through these four red moons these things: Continue reading →

Is Obama complicit in the persecution of Christians?

Posted on by
Reply

The claims made by Lord George Weidenfeld about president Obama’s inept Middle-East policy only gloss the surface of what a multitude of highly informed experts have been continually saying – including Russian president Putin, as below!.

It’s notable, for example, that on the very same day that interview was broadcast one expert (who warned of the likelihood of the 9/11 atrocity) published his ‘One-Minute Guide’ on POTUS’ foreign policy.

That and this peer’s preference to assist Iraqi and Syrian Christians escape barbarity, deserve deeper consideration in the light of recent events.

Without writing in depth on this I’d refer anyone who’s interested to read the following by Raymond Ibrahim, a few of whose writings I’ve reposted here on this blog. The last of these is on the US’ policy of preventing Christian testimony of persecution. So let me direct you to some of his latest on our matter-in-hand:

Leading publisher contradicts BBC HARDtalk on Obama, Mid-East & terrorism

Posted on by

An extraordinary interview popped onto our TV screen last night after a dvd closed down. We rarely bother with ‘talking-heads’; however, we stopped in our tracks upon hearing a question on the persecution of Christians. Joining as the first question was asked, we remained ‘glued’ to the dialogue.

Lord Weidenfeld credit Independent

Lord Weidenfeld; credit, Independent

News-makers and personalities around the world are interviewed in-depth on BBC World Services’ and News channel’s HARDtalk by presenter Stephen Sackur. Last night he interviewed British peer Lord Weidenfeld, who  made London his home for the past eight decades after escaping nazi Austria and the Holocaust just before World War II. He became one of Britain’s best known publishers of high quality, prize-winning fiction and non-fiction (see Weidenfeld&Nicolson).

The programme was billed: ‘Now 96 years old, his life says much about the modern history of Britain, Europe and the Jewish people. But as he reflects, is he filled with hope or something darker?’. It reflects Sakur’s stance, quite contrary to that of his guest!  And he didn’t cave in to the presenter’s polite grilling…

The opening question was about why he’d set up Operation Safe Haven, as publicised last July (eg. see Daily Mail article). His answer is that it’s in gratitude for and repayment of his debt to Christians because they’d helped him and his family to escape Austria, as well as when problems arose in pre-war Britain.

As the Operations objective is being purely to assist Iraqi and Syrian Christians, Sackur  objects by referring to USA’s reservations about helping and says such help should be humanitarian only: his work shouldn’t be religiously selective but include Muslims too because they’re also suffering.

Weidenfeld recognises it’s an important point and counters by referring to his inter-faith work in improving relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims. The presenter then pushes for the logical consequence of such cooperation by rescuing those of any faith.

But the guest is candid and forthright in saying Christians in those lands “get a raw deal, they don’t get sufficient support” and because of his personal experience wants to repay them.

“Let me put it bluntly” retorts Sackur and posits a position of his guest refusing to help  those in the migrating masses who are not Christians.

Weidenfeld is forthright about this ‘academic question’, reminds him of the Communist and Nazi persecutions and that nothing is being done by the Western world to help the ancient Christian world. He contradicts Sackur’s typically BBC pro-Palestinian and anti-Christian moronic mind-set,

“A great deal is being done for the Muslims…logistically they’re in the situation and their safe havens are pretty close by and a huge amount of money is available for them – but the Christians get the raw deal: that’s what I’m saying!”

Not content, Sackur pushes his point by referring to Europe and problems here only for his guest to be equally blunt,

“The Western world is in a bad moral shape and, I’m afraid, I blame the leader of the Western world, President, Obama for a lot of what’s happening now”

“You can’t surely blame him for Europe’s failure to lead on this (migrant) crisis…?” blurts the Beeb’s man.

“I blame him for having created situations in the Middle-East and undulating, uncertain, weak foreign policy that has done a great deal to bring about this present situation. I could go into great detail on this…”

As regards Europe and jihadist attacks they discuss the safety of Jews, the call for their return to their original, ancient homeland (now the state of Israel), anti-Semitism and the roots of terrorism. In view of the peer’s connections and experience in Germany a good discussion develops. Regarding anti-Semitism he thinks,

“There are two roots of anti-Semitism: a religious root and an economical root….the first is no longer valid for people don’t say, “You killed the Saviour” – so that root died out in the 18th Century. The economic root is also not so valid because, if you look at the phone directories of most European capitals many (Jewish) bankers, lawyers and dentists no longer exist there because of Auschwitz.

“So it is Jihadism – the hatred of Jews brought about by radical Islam. There’s no question about that! It’s anti the Jewish state, it’s anti-Zionism – that’s what it is really.”

Sackur notices his disquiet over the Obama administration and asks what’s made him so angry. Having spent time in the States, Weidenfeld responds that,

“…he is someone who has no talent or knowledge about foreign affairs. He may be a good orator, possibly quite well equipped to deal with home affairs, but he hasn’t got a feeling for foreign affairs. He is naïve. He builds up Putin into a position of where he’s a mixture of Disraeli and Bismarck as arbiter in the Middle-East; in Syria he made him the man for opening the debate with Iran to his own disadvantage – and I think he has weakened, he has alienated, some of our allies to a point of great bitterness. So I make him responsible for a lot of what’s going on today in the Middle-East.”

The presenter offers, as though speaking for that administration, their objection based upon delivery of democratic mandate, getting out of the M-East and making a deal with Iran, which earns the peer’s gentle but forthright rebuke,

“With Iran it is a very dangerous situation now because – although there may be a way of curbing the atomic ambitions – you’re dealing with a theocratic government of extreme violence – and the present president just has a better table-manner than his predecessor – but I think that by filling their coffers now you make it possible for them to support Hezbollah, to support all kinds of extremists and you’re probably going to have another intifada or full-fledged war before long because the Iranians are again going to be on the warpath.”
