A huge thank you to you personally for subscribing to this blog and especially if this is your very first visit, as well as to everyone who’s ever read my scribblings.
Thank you for deciding to stay and dip into various posts and pages.
You are personally contributing to its success. Your reading this message today could possibly be the one to make the ‘views’ counter hit 6 digits! So thank you for being here.
I especially want to thank my dear wife, Nina, for her kindness and prolonged patience during my time spent in solitude in our office/study.
It is amazing to think that circulating a couple of emails a month to a few dozen church friends on events of prophetical relevance would go on a public blog. After launching it in November 201, I was even more amazed to find a year later it had received 10,000 visits. And that number tripled in the next year. In this third year, that 2nd year’s growth rate doubled so that a month before the 3rd anniversary it has reached 100,000 hits.
So thank you very, very much for being part of this exciting adventure.
Part 3 of Call to Pray for the UK wasn’t easy to write because of a severe distraction I’d encountered – which isn’t really a surprise as it’s about ‘battle’! A vicious attack from the accuser of the brethren came through an adult child’s wrongful accusation.
So upon opening my email this morning, I was extremely encouraged to read this from Glasgow Prophetic Centre which exactly describes and speaks right into my 20 years old situation. May it also ‘uplift’ you too:
EXTRACTION
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
I see the hand of God reaching down and extracting you from the dark and hard situation that you have been in for a time. God says, “Enough!” You have endured hardship and even loss and pain, but this is the day of extraction, this is the day of your release and deliverance. God is sovereignly extracting you now from your dark situation and placing you in His bosom, where you will find rest.
Matthew 11:29b-30 YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
It would be well to consider an aspect of the words received by Oladapo Ogungbade, as in part 2, before proceeding to read the other communication I received that day. Also, we may come to appreciate any relevance of something seen at the weekend.:

At last Saturday’s mentoring day with Christian International Europe (CIE), Dr Sharon Stone mentioned that Chuck Pierce and Mike Bickle were also meeting in England. She referred to the ‘spiritual synergy’ of these meetings and immediately I was struck by an open vision right in front of me in the assembly hall of Windsor Boys’ School.
‘Hovering’ in front of me and ‘through’ the seats, my eyes about level with the top of its track and towards the rear, was a dark blue version of the massive dozer shown above. But this one was much bigger! Its height, width and length were over 3/4 those of the hall and its very tall blade-end stood towards the stage where the team was praying.
Within minutes I heard it start up with a deep-throated roar and I could imagine smoke bursting out of its vertical exhaust, like those huge American trucks. (NB: the difference between voluntary mental imagination and involuntary visual/auditory impressions.)
This may signify that, in response to the meetings and prophetic words, declarations and intercessions aligned with His will, the Lord’s host will bulldoze through all demonic opposition. Also, It could mean they’re getting ready to clear away rubble after He has shaken and demolished ungodly human institutions and activities.
Part 2
In the last post I said its warning of a ‘coming disaster…attack’ upon the UK may have a connection with what Dr Stone gave in 2013 about our “having won a battle we didn’t continue on to win the war”, as well as with what Chuck Pierce saw for 2015 (here and here respectively).
Also, in checking through 2005 links and replacing broken ones with copy documents I’ve revisited Chuck’s call for 40 days prayer that finished the day before the terrorist attacks on London Transport, and associated reports from Watchman Network. It’s this battle to which Sharon referred, and doubtless more lives may have been lost but for the intercession.
In view of the present military offensive against ISIS in which we and other nations are now engaged, then the word received by Oladapo may possibly refer to any proposed retaliation on our territory. Therefore, it is to be taken as a serious warning.
On the other hand, it may also warn of disaster coming as a result of political and/or legalistic actions within the UK. Also, as it was received earlier this year, it may well refer to the referendum on Scottish independence and leaving the UK.
Here’s my notes from last November with Sharon Stone’s remarks. Remember, her approach to prophecy is to seek Kingdom solutions:
‘…Christian leaders worldwide are well aware of the increasingly aggressive advance of secular humanism and its antichrist spirit. Many consider it worse than the Islamist aims of establishing a global caliphate.
‘Sharon stresses, however, that whoever those involved in the conflict may be, “We love all people. We’re talking about the spirit and the agenda” (ie. entirely different things). “You’re mature enough for me not to have to teach upon that…it’s a spirit that has an agendaagainst God’s agenda! Just because issues are politically incorrect to deal with…it wouldn’t be wise for us to let it simply pass by.
“Now God says the battles are going to be in Great Britain. Let me tell you why I believe its going to be here: where there are great battles there are great victories!
“So God’s not saying, I’m choosing you as a place of war, I’m choosing you as a place of conflict, because I don’t like you…No, the Lord says,
“I’m choosing you as a place for victory, so that the victory won here has an ability to be a victory that affects other nations!”
“Do you hear this? Not just for England, or for Great Britain. So what God is doing is He’s setting up His own agenda that we might have a victory here that releases us to deliver other nations, and puts us back into a functioning position of where our true identity is.
“And we’re not talking about something that takes 10 years to come to pass any more (as with other things) but we’re talking about the next two and a half to three years! Those who have ears let them hear!”
Encouraging words, are they not? Especially if the vision of the huge bulldozer is also taken into account. And another lady who strongly moves in the prophetic brought most encouraging words from the Lord back in July 2005, right after that terrorist outrage. It is those which arrived on the same day as Oladapo’s call to pray for the UK’s future we will look at next >> (or a 4th part).
On Monday I read a couple of communications about prophecies for Britain, and within which I sensed a connection. In particular, the first also related to what had come (but remained unread) from Dr Clifford Hill in the 1st part of this post – and with his earlier call to prayer over Scotland about deception.
In particular that first item also bears a warning that has a possible connection with what Dr Sharon Stone gave in 2013 about our “having won a battle we didn’t continue on to win the war”, and what Chuck Pierce saw for 2015 (here and here respectively).
The other communication is not only relevant in that aspect but it also brings strong encouragement for prophetical prayer. Also, it’s already included within this blog’s Library but I will comment separately upon it next week.
A friend put up a post about the England and Scotland referendum recently and made an allegory out of it. This quickly reminded me of the things God told me about the UK in a Word of prophecy at the beginning of this year, which are listed below:
1. Matthew 24:5, 8, 12-14 KJV
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. All these are the beginning of sorrows. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
– ‘Many shall fall prey to many deceptions, which is The beginning of sorrows for them, and because iniquity shall abound they shall respond to God lesser, but for the believers they shall rejoice and enjoy God, the gospel shall be preached in a higher dimension and with greater intensity…’
2. Jeremiah 33:15 KJV
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
– The message of righteousness will be preached more and many will receive/ understand it more…
3. Matthew 14:25 KJV
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
– In the 4th quarter of the year there shall be miracles like never seen before…
4. Matthew 13:25 KJV
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
– If people are not attentive/firm and fervent, there will be robbed of their miracles and blessings.
Among other things He told me about a coming disaster for the UK (either peculiar to Scotland, Wales or England or all of them together I do not know); He told me that we Christians have the responsibility to pray for this nation for its protection.
The Lord made me understand that in a few years ahead, ‘there is an attack coming on the UK (either physical or spiritual I know not, God knows), it will be devastating and claim lives (either physically or spiritually I know not) only prayers for the land can avert it! It will be a time of sorrow for many and shedding of tears but the Faith-full will endure/abide’.
On 16th July 2014, the Lord spoke to me again about the matter thus:
Isaiah 22:3, 8 NLT
All your leaders have fled. They surrendered without resistance. The people tried to slip away, but they were captured, too. Judah’s defences have been stripped away. You run to the armoury for your weapons.
– The nation of UK is in need of the prayers of Christians, there’s danger ahead of this nation if the believers don’t pray.
– The leaders of this nation are going to make some mistakes very soon and only the prayers of Christians will prevent this. If the decisions are made it will affect not just the people but Christians (including leaders) at large (Prov 22:8).
– Asking for God’s wisdom for them will ensure they are guided aright (Prov 24:2,3).
I’m sharing this because the Lord will have me share it with Christians residing in UK so as to pray and avert the plan of the enemy for the nation of the United Kingdom.
Please share with as many people as you can and much more please pray for the peace and protection of the United Kingdom (Psalms 122:6-8).
In last week’s follow-up to his warning of a ‘Judgement Day for Britain’ because of deception over Scotland’s voting, Dr Clifford Hill strongly urges our deep caution against falling back into old ways, and to be fully alert to the activity of a spirit of division. He believes this may be the last opportunity for the church to overcome that ungodly spirit by a spirit of love and concern one for another, as written below:
SAVING THE UK
I have a picture of Christians in churches across the land giving thanks to God for hearing their prayers, and politicians in Westminster dancing for joy, because they believe the nation has been saved from the social and economic devastation of the breakup of the United Kingdom.
This is what the Lord says to the people of the United Kingdom who are rejoicing that the people of Scotland have saved the Union by voting ‘No’ in the Referendum. Do not think that you are now safe to do as you like and return to your old ways. The word given to the Prophet Jeremiah at a critical point in the history of Israel is relevant to Britain today:
“Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, ‘We are safe’ – safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears my name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 7.9–11).
There is a spirit of division that has been driving the nation for 40 years bringing divorce to millions of marriages and untold suffering. It has brought Britain to the very brink of disaster. But that spirit is still active in the nation and will bring division to every region of the country unless the institutionalised injustices of the past are dealt with.
The great debate that began in Scotland will encompass the whole United Kingdom and will bring division in every region and every community unless a new spirit of love and concern for each other replaces the spirit of division and divorce. The commandment of Jesus to his disciples was to love one another as he has loved us.
This is the opportunity for Christians to be creatively involved in changing the direction of the nation away from greed and corruption and self-centred interest to caring for one another. It may be the last opportunity for the church in Britain.
Bill Koenig of World Watch Daily writes: “Netanyahu had a 2-hour visit at the White House today, which I attended. It was originally scheduled only for an hour and a quarter. He likely had some intelligence on the Islamic State (IS) that he shared… Netanyahu is a true statesman, who once again warned the world about the threats from Iran and now IS. He also re-emphasized the danger posed to the entire world by Hamas. Sadly, I really sense the world is not responding to his warnings. Every year he has to come up with a different approach to warn about the seriousness of the threats. It is as if his warnings are playing to deaf ears”.

Many issues have complicated the U.S.-Israeli relationship — and particularly the personal relationship between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu — in recent years. The Palestinian issue. The future of Jerusalem. Settlements. Hamas and Gaza. But none have divided the two leaders more than how to deal with Iran.
Obama and Netanyahu have deeply divergent views of the urgency of the nuclear threat, and how best to stop Iran from building nuclear warheads and the missiles to deliver them. Now we are rapidly approaching the end game with the P5+1 talks with Iran. It is crunch time, and Netanyahu is worried that Obama is not worried enough. The Israeli premier is concerned that the President is too willing to make too many concessions to Iran, concessions that could make it easier for Iran to quickly…
Soak in the surround sound – even better via hi-fi/tv – just like the bass drumming sometimes heard behind high praise and worship, even when there’s no drummer!
All glory to and thank you Lord, and thank you too StikYard; and Lindi once again.
Hinting at science catching up with scripture? And some are moving from theory to practice…
By grace through faith in Jesus, believers may enter the ‘heavens’ whilst alive, as the apostle Paul states from his personal revelatory experience. His sublime letter to the church in Ephesus and everywhere else opens,
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ…
He proceeds to state God knew us individually before the Creation, and that His plan was to adopt us as His children after our being purchased back from Satan through Jesus’ sacrificial death and the shedding of His sinless blood (ie. our redemption).
Then, in praying “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened”, Paul gives his reason for this; “That you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe”.
Paul continues with explaining how God does this, thus implying that we can exist in another ‘dimension’ whilst living in ordinary time and space.:
“according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
“And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
“And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly placesin Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them…”
Selah!

Thank you too to Revivo and pastor Lindi for sharing this cartoon on Facebook.
ESPECIALLY FOR AMERICAN READERS! As Robert Spencer notes, ”Of course US intelligence underestimated the Islamic State. US intelligence is bound as a matter of policy to pretend there is no Islamic jihad terrorism, and that when Muslims commit acts of jihad terror, they are misunderstanding their own religion and misapplying its tenets. That means that US intelligence is forbidden to understand the enemy properly; is it any wonder that it underestimated the Islamic State?” Also see my previous links to reports on the CIA and FBI, and Raymond Ibrahim on ‘The Lone Wolf Jihad’. AND last week in the UN your POTUS praised a Muslim cleric who condoned murder of your troops! (See John McTernan’s opinion and my PS to post on Netanyahu’s speech to the UNGA.)
“Distinguished delegates, I come here from Jerusalem to speak on behalf of my people – the people of Israel – I’ve come here to speak about the dangers we face and about the opportunities we see.
“I’ve come here to expose the brazen lies spoken from this very podium against my country and against the brave soldiers who defend it. Ladies and Gentlemen, The people of Israel pray for peace. But our hopes and the world’s hope for peace are in danger. Because everywhere we look, militant Islam is on the march. It’s not militants. It’s not Islam. It’s militant Islam.
“Typically, its first victims are other Muslims, but it spares no one. Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Kurds – no creed, no faith, no ethnic group is beyond its sights. And it’s rapidly spreading in every part of the world…”
At yesterday’s 69th UN General Assembly Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered to a wide-ranging speech that touched on the scourge of radical Islam, the dangers of a nuclear Iran and a new paradigm for peace with the Palestinians. He also presented a logical case to convince the world that what Israel faces today, it will face in the near future. Furthermore, he accused many UN delegates of at best, sheer ignorance or at worst, rank hypocrisy:
“Last week, many of the countries represented here rightly applauded President Obama for leading the effort to confront ISIS. And yet weeks before, some of these same countries, the same countries that now support confronting ISIS, opposed Israel for confronting Hamas. They evidently don’t understand that ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. ISIS and Hamas share a fanatical creed, which they both seek to impose well beyond the territory under their control.
Reporting on the last day for speeches at the UNGA’s general debate, Herb Keinon writes in The Jerusalem Post,
‘Netanyahu also cautioned against focusing world efforts on battling Islamic State at the expense of ignoring Iran’s nuclear aspirations, saying that “to defeat ISIS [Islamic State] and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war”.‘Netanyahu broke up his address into five main parts: The first dealt with the challenge of Islamic radicalism, as embodied by Islamic State. The second part dealt with the danger of an already existing Islamic state – Iran – getting nuclear capabilities. The third dealt with the summer’s Gaza operation; the fourth with rising anti-Semitism; and the fifth with a comprehensive regional peace…’ (click to read full article).
“To defeat ISIS & leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power would be to win the battle & lose the war.”
“ISIS & Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree. They share the same fanatical creed.”
“The Nazis believed in a master race. The militant Islamists believe in a master faith.”
“Militant Islam is on the march. It’s not militants. It’s not Islam. It’s militant Islam.”
“What would your countries do if thousands of rockets were fired at your cities?”
“You wouldn’t let terrorists fire rockets at your cities with impunity.”
“Hamas deliberately put its rockets in hundreds of residential areas.”
“Israel was using its missiles to protect its children. Hamas was using its children to protect its missiles.”
“No other country and no other army in history has gone to greater lengths to avoid casualties among the civilian population of their enemy.”
“Hamas cynically used Palestinian civilians as human shields. Israel did everything to minimize Palestinian casualties.”
“Allowing Iran to reach nuclear capabilities will pose the greatest threat to us all.”
“A broader rapprochement between Israel and the Arab world may help facilitate Israeli-Palestinian peace.”
“Israel is prepared to work with Arab partners to confront dangers and seize opportunities.”
“There is a new Middle East. It presents new dangers but also new opportunities.”
“In any peace agreement I will always insist that Israel be able to defend itself by itself.”
“The UNHCR has betrayed its noble mission to protect the innocent. The Human Rights Council has become the Terrorist Rights Council.”
Quoting Scripture: “For the sake of Zion I will not be silent. For the sake of Jerusalem, I will not be still.”
Click to watch and/or click to read this PM’s straight-talking, no-nonsense speech. In presenting a balanced report let me state that this speech was followed by the usual clueless or duplicitous claptrap from the US State Dept, the PA and Israeli left-wing, as reported by the ICEJ (International Christian Embassy Jerusalem).
As well as Joel’s attached analysis, Dror Eydar’s frank Israel Hayom Newsletter opens, “We watched as he stood up and lied in the worst speech of incitement a Palestinian representative has ever made to Westerners, using the verified accusations made against the Palestinian Authority and turning them against Israel without batting an eye. Not a word about the reason for the war this past summer; not a word about the putsch Hamas planned against him. And we’re expected to trust him?” Also see Elliott Abrams’ brief examination why Abbas made it yet ‘another lost opportunity’.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of “genocide” during speech to the UN General Assembly this week.
UPDATED: This week in New York City, leaders from around the world are addressing the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly (GA). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently flying to New York to meet with President Obama and address the GA. His speech is scheduled for Monday. I will provide the full text and analysis at that time.
So far, speeches by two Arab leaders have drawn my attention. Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas both addressed the GA in recent days. I would strongly encourage you to read both texts. The contrast between the two was stark.
“I saw the globe and I felt like I was looking at the south pole and there was this flame underneath the south pole – and I saw people south of the equator praying and I saw their prayer coming up on the north side of the equator and I saw revival fires coming. And the Lord said…”
“When I was walking into this room I saw the Fire of God pass through..”
Upon hearing Dale Mast make that last remark it confirmed my quick open vision of a 12-15 feet high wall of waving red, orange and yellow flames stretching across the front of the low platform he’d just stepped onto. Dale was behind that ‘invisible wall’.
This was at Dr Sharon Stone’s recent mentoring day after she introduced her long-time friend/mentor Dale Mast. He went on to teach about Moses and David in connection with Jesus’ ministry and stressed the importance of our having a good friendship with God, one like reluctant servant Moses had grown into. Dale chuckled over how Moses may have sought the privilege of visiting Jesus whilst on earth, and so explained, “Friendship brings greater access than faith!”
Dale said prophets should back up what they hear with prayer and intercession to bring it to birth. Quoting Habbakuk 3, he pushed that we don’t want to just read it, we want to live it, we know what God’s done but want Him to do it again in our generation. Saying there are different levels of revelation Dale shifted up a gear into prophetic mode,
“Do you know why you in front of me are alive now? It’s because you’re perfectly matched to what God’s going to do in this generation…You were called to make a difference – in this generation – and I believe this:
“There’s something’s coming out of the prophetic movement – even out of the UK – there’s coming a voice that will literally cause it to go over many flags of the nations. And just like there was the anointing that the UK had that went over many, many nations, I believe there’s something that God is going to release that’s going to go to many nations.
“I just saw a little prophetic picture. I want to share this; it’s sort of interesting:
“I saw the globe and I felt like I was looking at the south pole, like there was this flame underneath the south pole – and as it was hitting…I saw people south of the equator praying, and I saw their prayers coming up on the north side of the equator to this hemisphere – and I saw revival fires coming and the Lord said…”
“There’s prayers coming up out of the southern hemisphere that are literally going to release fire into the northern hemisphere because they have a mantle of intercession”.
“And I also believe that there’s certain things that are being released in the realm of the Spirit. When I was walking into this room I literally felt like I saw the Fire of God pass through. It moved through and some of you are going to experience the wind of the Spirit in a very unusual way…”
In his stimulating teaching about Jesus and the throne of David, Dale focused upon the change in David’s identity that entering the ‘Holy of Holies’ of intimate relationship with God had brought him.
Another prophetic picture was of the river of God getting ready to run through this land again and of the Lord saying,
“This is going to be a time to think and drink! I’m refreshing the anointing that has been dormant.”
Dale then became very specific for this training session on what the Lord is asking of us personally as a prerequisite to what He will do nationally. We’re headed for challenging and exciting days…
It’s fascinating how this meets the concepts of a name/identity change and preparing for advance implied by the Hebrew understanding of this new year 5775, as herein. And I’m quietly amused over my musing on revival and ‘down under’ and Joanne Rolston’s quip – seems you’re right Jo 🙂
Thank you Melissa for another excellent explanation, and to Victoria Heard for a prompt to visit her site – and Ephesians 1 once again turns up! This is well timed for what I was about to blog but got delayed!
[For returning readers, the first part of this post is a rehearsal of prior research.]
Sundown on Wednesday, September 24 marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah or Jewish New Year. For the Jewish community, this is a time of reflection, purification and hopeful contemplation of the future. Not unlike our Western New Year’s celebrations, Rosh Hashanah is a time of recapping or regrouping in order to strategically move forward.
For the past month, I’ve heard the following declaration in my spirit. “God is on the advance.” Knowing this was somehow relative to the word for the year 5775, I could not wait to delve into the research you are about to read. While synthesizing the information, crystal clarity came on just how He will move in the days ahead. Prepare yourself for what will be a year of reorientation and permutation.
‘Tomorrow’ or rather at sundown today 24th September is the ‘head’ of the Jewish New Year 5775, and which is regarded as starting The Year of Advance.
Yesterday and tonight, our church has Randy DeMain, after having been the guest at our Isle of Skye associates’ Glory 2 Glory conference, bringing his fascinating Ephesian’s 1:3 perspective upon scripture. See the video on the last link for a flavour of his teaching – it opens with two scriptures I’ve been contemplating lately!!
Randy taught about a revelation that, when considered collectively, Psalms 111 to 117 may relate to the Lord’s seven spirits (Isaiah 11), thereby bringing insights into His plans for 2011-2017 and the means by which He will bring them about.
So it’s appropriate that, in referring to the Jewish New Year, I herewith quote Randy’s newsletter for this month and close by noting some relevant prophetic words. He writes:
“It is the first of 3 connected feasts and celebrations unto the Lord followed by the Day of Atonement, then the feast of Tabernacles. The New Year begins the celebration of the end the previous year’s harvest cycle, and the beginning of a new harvest cycle. Many westerners have thought that the Jewish New Year is like our new year that commences January 1st.
“That is somewhat true in that the New Year for Israel is followed by the Day of Atonement, a time of personal reflection and purification to prepare oneself for Tabernacles and a blessed new harvest season.
“However, the New Year begins in the 7th month, not the 1st month, which occurred at the day of Passover, so it has a deeper meaning and purpose.
“On the 7th and 49th year, the land is given rest, debts retired and lands restored. I can’t help but wonder if this is what the Lord is doing in this nation that has a long and deep spiritual heritage. Restoring their identity, their land and retiring their debt?
“I am going to be in Scotland for several days in the middle of this month to speak about revival and the more glorious church that is arising. Please pray the will of the Lord will prevail through the times of ministering and the messages I bring.
“For the rest of us. This month has already seen a harvest moon. Next month will be the second blood moon on October 8th, the beginning of Tabernacles.
“Therefore, this is the month to set your sights on the new harvest season ahead, prepare our plows and harvest equipment, for the harvest shall surely be great. One day the Lord Jesus will fulfill the last fall feast, just as he has the spring and summer feasts of Passover and Pentecost!
“Therefore, we must be diligent to bring in the full harvest between Pentecost and Rosh Hashanah so the ingathering will be the fullness of the intended harvest.
Definitely ‘Amen’ to the canon’s closing prayer. His conclusion isn’t so much theologically sound as wise because, imo, it’s directly relevant to this brand of Sunni Islam’s end-time doctrine in hastening the end of the world by global conflagration.
Thank you Lord for Your timing in Ajibola’s publishing this profound post, and in Tim’s reading it hours before my re-blogging Tony’s in connection with what You gave Neville!! (Comments to previous refer.) Re. Mary’s appointed time, readers may be interested in this post on Gabriel prophesying into Time, of which there’s more yet to blog!
Visions received on Wednesday through to yesterday by my fellow blogger Tony Puccio on My Dreams and Visions are relevant to my previous post on the prophetic words and teaching brought by Neville Johnson. Tony blogged as follows:
After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ. (1Cor 3:11)
I had a vision start 09/17/2014 and received clarification on it today. In the vision I saw a beautiful white church with a beautiful white steeple. This was odd. but I saw people standing around the church instead of in it like you would normally picture things to be. The people seemed to be admiring the building called church. Whether or not they had built it or not, I do not know. I just got the sense that they were admiring it. Then I saw the building called church begin to crumble beginning with the steeple. The building began to collapse in upon itself until it was destroyed. The word that I heard was faulty foundation. The foundation of any church must be Jesus and Him alone.
As I was watching a prophetic word today by Neville Johnson that was shared by a fellow blogger, Richard Barker, I saw the following:
I saw people sowing what I will call bad seed into the soil and just as the seeds hit the earth the weeds of what they had sewn sprang up entrapping their feet and ankles so that they could no longer walk. They were stuck in that position. The more they kept sewing bad seed, the more the weeds entangled them. Remember, a Christians highest calling is to walk with God and not to do things for Him. Then there was another group of people who had fruit baskets in their hands. They were giving fruit out of their baskets and people were also reaching into their baskets and taking fruit. What comes to mind is the following;
Fruit of the flesh:
Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal 5:19-21)
Fruit of the Spirit:
But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23)
Notes to this 600th post:
Tony’s visions connect directly into points #1 and #3 that Neville received from the Lord. Click on their above sub-head titles to read originals and comments threads.
I was astonished to get my email copy of the first vision! Friday was a full blogging day in a week re-shuffled for family reasons. Also, items to blog from last week, especially Neville’s video, had top priority for available slots of time – but they’d been postponed by unexpected turns re. Scotland, plus a delayed debate elsewhere.
So, I’d been wanting to blog about Neville’s video since 3rd Sept but had got waylaid. When I read Tony’s ‘Foundations’ post I thought that, living over in Tucson Arizona, he may have heard about the conference near Los Angeles. There’s lots of prophetic stuff whizzing around ‘over the Pond’. Wanting to check it out, I asked Tony if he knew of it and sent a link. He and I have been in touch since the first months of this blog and I’m confident his dreams and visions are from the Lord.
Tony kindly replied (at the start of his Friday), “No, this is the first I’ve heard of it”! The video must have grabbed him and he took time to watch that very day – then came the second vision, as related above copied from his blog.
Obviously, my delays were all part of the wonderful and mysterious way the Lord has all things under His hand. They simply served to validate what Tony was yet to see!
I’m always awe-struck at ‘God-incidents’ showing God’s the one and only Time Lord.
Thank you Lord for how you connect your people not only by a spiritual ‘bridge over the pond’ but also ‘down under’ and all around the world. For, as You declared through Your seer Hanani to Asa king of Judah.:
The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. (2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV)
Further to the NO result of the Scottish referendum on independence, Alex Salmond has stated that he will step down as First Minister as well as resign as leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party. (Sources: BBC News video and The Telegraph report.)
That he’s chosen not to continue in office to implement political changes Whitehall has promised to the half of Scotland wanting independence is most intriguing, especially in the light of his long-held antagonism toward Israel and any possible Islamist leanings (blog refers). One would reasonably believe he hasn’t been blessed but cursed, in line with the Almighty’s promise to Abram!
Prophesying into Time was a topic I started blogging about in the first weeks of the New Year. Now I can cover it again, not in analysis but in what’s being revealed about the Lord’s imminent action plans.
The last mention of timing, albeit very brief, was in Paul Keith Davis’ opening remarks at last month’s gathering in Cardiff (as here). In passing, he referred to getting “things and structures such as apostolic hubs and communities in place” between the Days of Atonement 2014 and 2015. That was all, nothing more, nothing less, as it was followed by other matters.
Whilst Paul Keith was in Wales, Australian prophetic seer Neville Johnson was in Lancaster, California. (His website is at The Academy of Light.)
Neville had spoken 18 hours earlier, in a conference’s first session, in detail about prophetic words on what’s in, or scheduled for, the same time frame that Paul Keith had mentioned, ie. after this October’s Day of Atonement.
Upon our return from Wales, our pastor produced notes for our group’s consideration of what Neville had delivered. We all recognised it’s of the Lord and its great import. For example, in view of her wish to change how we ‘do church’, we’d already discussed how to start the Lord’s first point.
Therefore, I’m including a video of the session and his notes of what the Lord gave him for your careful consideration and edification. The notes have been slightly modified for ease of reading and, additional to Neville’s use of upper case, I’ve emboldened points that spoke to me and trust this won’t detract from your study. It’s better, however, to first take time to watch and weigh:
Neville opens by referring to the importance of setting our hearts on things above and the change he senses in the conference atmosphere since last year. Upon standing outside the airport after landing, he’d sensed a gusty ‘whoosh’ go by him and asked himself,
“What’s going on in this nation? Everything is stood up in the spirit realm; both good and bad!
“You know, there’s something going down and we really need to be aware of it because the times and the seasons are very, very important.”
He continues as in the following notes published with the YouTube video:
“We have come to a critical time in our relationship and walk with the Lord. This nation (USA) has come to a critical time in the purposes of God. It’s not ‘business as usual’ – we’ve come to a critical time!
“This year I’ve had more encounters with the Lord than any other year in my life – things have become critical. It is the season of change.
“Hebrews 4 – God limited a certain day – Today if you hear my voice, harden not your heart. He limited a day – a timing factor is involved.
“The time now is limited for an adequate response before all hell breaks loose over this nation; also heaven will come, but the time is limited. When Israel came to Kadesh Barnea and spies went into the land, ten of them came back with the wrong message. There are a lot of wrong messages out there. And they died because of it. God limited the time and said, “No more!”.
“Today, if you hear His voice”…we are on the brink of something great and something terrible.
“Time is running out for us and we have to be prepared for what is coming, particularly this nation (USA), but there are ramifications for other nations around the world as well. We are on the brink of something great.
“A number of things the Lord has given me:
THE LORD HAS LAID A CORNERSTONE FOR A NEW KIND OF CHURCH. It is time for the Philadelphian church to come into manifestation in the earth and fruition in the earth. (The Faithful Church Rev 3:7-13)
YEARS OF PROMISES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN FULFILLED IN YOUR LIFE ARE INTERSECTING NOW. It is time to take hold of them and bring them into fruition.
THE ISSUE OF SOWING AND REAPING IS BECOMING CRITICAL. Everything is speeding up. The process of sowing and reaping is being shortened over recent times; scary because we don’t always sow the right things, and it is coming back quicker.
WE NEED TO BUILD A KINGDOM (NOT CHURCH) CULTURE. We are heading into the goodness and the severity of the Lord. This year they will begin.
WE MUST MOVE FROM PRAYING FROM THE OUTER COURT IN OUR PRAYERS (“ME, ME, ME”) – WE HAVE TO PRAY AT ANOTHER LEVEL.
INTERCESSION MUST BE TARGETTED – prophets must speak into the target, and intercession must bring forth the purposes of God.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST? Israel is setting itself up for a major war – the big one. There will be some skirmishes on the way, but the big one is coming, and the ramifications on the church are enormous.
THE LORD WILL RELEASE THE GIFT OF FAITH IN THIS SEASON. This gift will release the most incredible miracles that we have hardly dreamt of. There is not much spoken of about this gift.
WE MUST SYNC WITH WHAT IS GOD IS DOING.
Yom Kippur: Day of Atonement 2014 is a Cut-Off Point
[Yom Kippur 2014 is from sunset 3rd October to sunset 4th October – read about Its Christian perspective.]
“From the time of the last blood moon to the Day of Atonement is coming – it is a cut off point, something ends. Something is coming. Yom Kippur this coming year – the curtain is drawn on many things. There is no more time. God has delayed out of His kindness some things.
“He is visiting heads of state all over the world and giving them time. God took me to Europe to speak to a queen in her bedroom. God told me to give her a specific word of what she must do and what she mustn’t do…people high up in the financial realm, giving them time to repent, many of them.
“Something is happening God is visiting people right now because time is running out and they have to make decisions. Because the world is going to change next year. Once we pass Yom Kippur things will escalate and change. It will be a different world. Stuff will be released, good and bad.
“There is a definite cut-off point that is going to happen. A lot of things have been held up because God in His mercy has waited and waited and waited (like before the flood came – Methuselah had to die first. So Methuselah became the oldest man ever on this planet because God kept extending His grace and mercy); and God has given us more time and more time. But he spoke to me,
“Neville, it is over. There is no more extension of time!”
“He is visiting people the world over, in the financial sector especially. Most of them will not repent, but He is giving them opportunity. Things are going to get really, really difficult.”
The rest of Neville’s teaching is most instructive, especially about how cultivating the Kingdom’s culture will help us during the coming dangers. He explains the powerful effect of the imagination and how its unsanctified use allows evil that he’s ‘seen’ going on behind the scenes to manipulate it, eg. violent video games. He also covers time travel…!
So, be mightily blessed as you watch and read subsequent connected visions here.

Personal Note:
Last weekend I was amazed to receive a personal word at the end of a guest teacher’s message at Dr Stone’s mentoring day. It was, as with Joshua and Caleb, a 40 years-old promise will come to fruition. Also, I’d forgotten – Neville’s remarks on the Israelite spies who returned with a wrong message, except Joshua and Caleb – and point #2 above!
The Scottish people’s Yes for independence was expected to lead in yesterday’s voting. Opinion polls were expecting a close finish either way.
But the first results showed a clear swing to No, with a resounding final result announced around 8am. A terrific turnout of 86% gave ‘NO’ 55% and ‘YES’ 45%.
One could assume this means Scotland will become an equally divided people. But not necessarily so because the threatened separation should bring betterment for them and the UK as a whole. The equally comparable collective sizes of both groups suggests we could regard them as ‘twins’ rather than opponents.
It was a historic and momentous day as Scotland voted to stay in the Union, or as the Independent headlines it, “The re-united kingdom”. The main advantage is expected to be an improved devolution of power to the Scottish parliament but there’s other hurdles to overcome (see analysis).
The main lesson we must learn is that complacency nearly broke up the UK, as Dan Snow reports. Now where’ve we heard that before? From God last year!
And it’s a massive ‘WAKE UP!’ call to we English, not just to all sectors of society but to the full spectrum of church to get serious and not miss our ‘Day of Visitation’!
Thank you Lord the break up didn’t happen!
It’s proper that we review what He gave Dr Sharon Stone a year ago about Britain for 2014-2016.
Her 3-part ‘clarion call’ has been this blog’s most popular post throughout the year AND its statistics support the admonition about complacency!!
Part 1 has words for Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Those for England are in Part 2 but it has had only half as many hits as Part 1 has. And only 1 in 5 readers went on to Part 3, on England’s coming battle. In view of its nature my notes are circumspect, but it may be related to that for which we will “need the strength of Scotland for what’s coming”, as heard by Justin Abraham (UK: the Father’s heart is for unity).
So, I recommend born-again Christians to study ALL parts of that important prophetic word!
Not a nation divided, but ‘twins’!
This is my transcript of what Sharon brought for Scotland during her mentoring day in October 2013, now with relevant parts emphasised:
“For Scotland, the Lord says,
“In 2013 you were pregnant with purpose. 2014 though, you’re going to give birth to twins and there’s going to be a double-anointing released upon Scotland.
“The first ways you’re going to see it is it’s going to be the Father’s Heart and the second is Justice.
“You have started a quantum momentum for the rest of the UK and Europe for you are no longer at a crossroads but you have crossed over. As with the Israelites when they crossed over from the desert to the Promised Land everything changed. A warrior mentality had to be restored, prophetic activity released…
“Now I used to live right underneath Scotland and the things that the Lord is speaking to me now about the nations He just wasn’t talking about before, and so I’m very excited about this! (emphasis RB). The Lord is saying,
“Prophetic activity released is this: the asset of Scotland is its families. No longer a fatherless nation but a refuge for families. Scotland you are not a mother nation like England but a father nation who fights for what is just. So prophetic warfare, praise and intercession will shift your land and help align England and other nations as well.
“Eventually, you will declare new freedoms. Freedom to see in a new way, freedom to govern yourself financially in a new way…
“And the Lord speaks to Scotland AND Wales and says,
“I will not let the complacency of England hold you back any longer. The hunger and the violence to take My Kingdom by force will be released within you.”
“Now before England gets upset there, you know that complacency means there is a relaxed wait and see positionthat you take, rather than a forcefully advancing Kingdom position – that’s the difference there…
“A friend of mine Chuck Pierce said this,
“Wales and Scotland you will be thorns in England’s side”.
“England, you’re going to get prodded, you’re going to get irritated, from your borders. That’s what’s going to happen at this time. And remember that God’s not speaking to us as one because we’re in different time zones spiritually – but we are a catalyst and a complement to one another.
“So, Wales and Scotland is going to assist England to spiritual hunger – repeat after me, ‘Hunger not jealousy’ – hunger for the Kingdom and God Himself…”
Read the full prophecy from its beginning here, continuing through links as shown. It’s also worth paying attention to a couple of Part 1’s Notes:
1. In Nov 2008 Chuck Pierce closed his report on visiting Germany and England as follows: The Spirit of the Lord says to the people of England, “This is your season for your light to come forth as never before. Rifts will come in old structures and My people will unite in a new way. A message will come forth from pulpits in this land” Then I saw a picture of 5 nations and the Lord said, “I will radiate in each land. Do not allow the rifts to cause you to let go of My hand for I am raising you up with a sound of victory.”
A huge thank you to you personally for subscribing to this blog and especially if this is your very first visit, as well as to everyone who’s ever read my scribblings.
