Prophetic council gathered from around the British Isles

The UK Council of Prophetic Elders, meeting for several years under the chairmanship of Revd Dr Sharon Stone of Christian International Europe (based in Windsor, Berks), is now superceded by The British Isles Council of Prophets – with Sharon a member of its Advisory Council.

Formed as a network of prophetic voices in Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland, Eire and the Channel Isles, the Council has just held its first 2-day meeting in Leicester (not all present in this photo):

BCIP’s CORE VALUES

‘From the outset, the new British Isles Council of Prophets has been developing around a series of Core Values. These defining value statements will help to define the culture of this alliance of diverse prophetic voices and also guide how members relate to one another. We may add to this list as we journey together!

  • Relationship is at the heart
  • Relationships within Body of Christ
  • Wise Advisors
  • Prophetic responsibility
  • Legacy and gathering
  • Teaching and trainig
  • A company of honour

MEET THE  COUNCIL – click for full details of members (not all present in this photo):

BICP’s AIM

‘The British Isles Council of Prophets aims to re-establish and gather a covenanted group of trusted and recognised prophetic voices in the UK and Ireland, who will represent the voice of Jesus Christ with boldness and who will take up their Biblical mandate to foundationally serve the church on these islands.

‘The members of the Council are embarking on a mission to shift the culture of the church, so that she might once again be able to receive prophets, and not just prophetic words.’

BICP’s VISION

‘We are working together towards a vision of a council of prophets who are in close working relationship and who will sharpen, encourage and promote each other as bold and trustworthy prophetic voices.

‘The Council’s prophets will meet together regularly, issue prophetic words that edify the church on a regular basis and will be committed to – and active in – raising up future generations of prophets in the British Isles.

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken—who will not prophesy? (Amos 3:8)’

Particularly auspicious is its being preceded at another local prophecy meeting by a remarkable repentance which Emma Stark, co-director of Glasgow Prophetic Centre, describes as follows:

“This is amazing, Canon Rev John McGinley vicar in Holy Trinity Church of England Leicester, repenting for how Apostles have rejected Prophets in England, and releasing a new dynamic for relating together.
This was after us blessing English prophets and pulling from them the rejection of previous decades.
A momentous occasion.”

I pray that these prophets may hear and deliver what the Lord is saying about the state of our nation, government and politicians, especially for allowing ungodly laws of which an increasing number of legal judgments are being made against the Holy Bible and thus against Christians – or in other words, courageously speak what all ministers and clergy should have long been preaching of the full Gospel.

Revisiting the vision of ripping the rotten fabric of our society

Last Monday’s two blogs on GPS #31 began by saying that overnight and throughout Monday I’d been contemplating the relevance of the open vision I had of the British Isles back in 2004 to our nations’ current chaotic situation, and began to blog about it. However, upon seeing what Veronika West and then, Yvonne Coombs, had just posted and that both relate to that vision but take it up another level, I realised their material should take precedence. So I republished those prophecies.

In August 2011, about the time I was being ‘nudged’ to start blogging, I emailed friends in connection with current news headlines: ‘World In Crisis: Markets Dive, Mobs burn London’; `Rule of the mob – Markets dive as panic spreads’ with links to renowned Bible teacher Lance Lambert’s prophecies of 2010 (far more serious phase of judgement commences, and follow-ups herehere and here on events), as well as an encouraging insight through Revd Dr Sharon Stone on reports of ‘the imminent collapse of society’!

I asked my recipients to consider those events’ relevance to the vision I had seven years earlier, which I recounted as follows:

‘Personally, I’m encouraged that this word (through Revd Dr Stone) confirms the gist of an open vision coming right at the start of the first worship session at a conference in St Albans, Hertfordshire, in October 2004.

‘About eight feet right in front of me I ‘saw’ a large map of Britain surrounded by the sea, as though painted on rotten sacking – like disposed, old coal sacks I`d see in my childhood. I had the strong impression of the Lord saying Britain is just like them; moreover that the fabric of our society is so rotten it could so easily tear apart. 

‘This ‘map’ then began to rip apart in the middle downward, from about the line of Hadrian’s Wall down the Pennine chain into the Midlands, and I sensed the Lord say, “I’m going to put the backbone back in Britain”. (I recalled the Pennines are known as the Spine of England.)

‘Then out of the tear emerged a very long rock, which I understood as meaning the Lord would restore our strong, spiritual backbone when we stand upon Him, The Rock.’

[Much later I noted, ‘Could the Lord be allowing increased persecutions here for the purpose of putting the spine back into Christians and making us stand up strongly?’… And Parliament has since been, and continues to be, thoroughly shaken and ripped open – do it to the media and elsewhere, Lord…Did you know that mounted, body-armoured police in Manchester interrogated a street preacher just because he was inviting people to an Easter service? Next, a hate-crimes unit visited him at home!!!]

‘It wasn’t so much the unexpected and unbidden nature of the event that startled me. It was because I thought I heard the Lord say that He would rip the nation apart as easily as an old sack because it’s rotten!! That troubled me greatly for I considered such to be contrary to His loving nature. 

‘But NT scriptures do speak of judgement and He gives many repeated warnings of such impending action (eg. as given this month through Lance Lambert). Yet, we must plead His remembrance of mercy and of Jesus’ sacrifice, through which comes the fullness of true blessing. All rather a profound mystery. Also, let’s not forget that the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11.2) were aspects of the Holy Spirit prophesied for the descendant of King David’s father Jesse: Jesus Christ.’

For the purposes of accountability and weighing I submitted the vision to the presiding pastor and his guest speaker, and later to our own church leader, but they blanked out!  Yet upon attending a prophecy school the next year at Bath where one of the courses was led by Dr Sharon Stone, I submitted it to her. Immediately, she agreed its validity and got her ‘masterclass’ interceding upon it!

When, in the mid-1990s, I first heard church leaders referring to prophecies it was said they’re to be held in a ‘pending tray’ because many years pass before they usually, if at all, come to fulfillment. With the ‘acceleration’ over the past decade, however, they have begun to manifest a lot more rapidly.

To summarise briefly, the state of our nation hasn’t improved but drastically deteriorated; that is, the fabric of our society has become increasingly rotten and too many politicians led the way in opening wide the doors for demonic infiltration, control and destruction by their willful rebellion against the Living Lord God and His Holy Word.

Since that vision we’ve witnessed the rapid erosion of Biblical standards of personal and public probity; mental, behavioural and spiritual perversion of right and wrong; the disintegration of freedom to believe, think, speak and act in a civilised manner and with every courtesy due our fellows, even in what were once the acme of all advanced societies – the universities.

For example, I knew a newly graduated historian whose mind is tightly shut against empirical evidence offered by older, more knowledgeable people on Brexit. He allowed one gentle rebuke on his blog, but not my brief corrections even though he subscribed here. (As I won’t tolerate bigotry I removed him.)

Just this week, my friend and ‘mature student’ Michael tells me his “being sandwiched between two major universities and attending a church full of university students has opened my eyes to quite how vicious anti-Christian prejudice has become both in university and in the media!”

And there’s the utterly reprehensible MP who’s completely lost his marbles by denouncing leading Brexiteers as ‘neo-Nazis’!  An appalling aberration, which shows how the spiritually oppressed lack intellectual acuity and credibility.

Yet far worse are those whom Jesus said it would be better for them to lose their lives than allow them to endanger and harm little children. I refer to officials who insist parents have no right to exclude their children from school classes on transsexuality.

Nevertheless, my open vision promises that, although society will severely split apart, the Rock of our Salvation will reappear during that self-destructive period.

What’s more, according to these extracts from last week’s prophetic visions the next phase will be that of our nation becoming a ‘gold signet ring’ on the Hand of God – as here:

(GPS #31.1 Veronika West) ‘I had a powerful dream 3 nights ago where I saw the the Nation of Great Britain and Northern Ireland being drawn up by the hand of God and as He took hold of the Nation it became as a GOLD RING, as I looked at the GOLD RING suddenly I saw the finger of God come forth from the heavens and the Gold Ring which was the Nation was put on His finger and I heard these words,

WATCH! FOR I SHALL TAKE YOU, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, AND I SHALL MAKE YOU LIKE A SIGNET RING UPON MY FINGER, FOR YOU SHALL BECOME A SIGN AND A WONDER AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…!

(GPS #31.2 Yvonne Coombs) ‘I ask the Lord how it will look if we are in unity of movement and I see a giant gold ring hovering over the Houses of Parliament. I see a blow-torch melting the gold from the ring as it drips over the building.

“IF YOU CALL TO ME, I SHALL SURELY ANSWER YOU, IF YOU GO TO YOUR KNEES IN PRAYER AND CRY OUT TO ME, I SHALL SEAL YOUR UNITED KINGDOM IN GOLD! I SHALL SET MY STANDARD OVER YOU AND I SHALL GIVE OVER THE GOLD OF THE EGYPTIANS TO YOU AND I SHALL CALL YOU MY FAIR LAND, MY OASIS AND MY ACHIEVEMENT OVER YOU SHALL BE SEEN FROM THE NORTH, TO THE SOUTH, TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST.”

I felt to paint this image and I saw a sword thrusting into the river Thames.
We have THE SWORD TO DECLARE AND PRAY. IT SHALL BEGIN A REVIVAL OF FIRE LIKE NO OTHER KNOWN BEFORE BUT, EVERY CHILD OF FAITH NEEDS TO USE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

I believe the gold ring is a wedding band, a covenant promise, so let us say “I DO!”
(Psalm 63)

Prophecies about July 2019 (extracts for reference, informative comment)

In view of the current confusion on whether or not, or when, Brexit comes into effect, the following extracts from prophetic words published herein serve for quick reference purposes. I was present when the first was delivered and mentally noted to monitor this word’s fulfillment in view of its short time-scale – especially because it foretells issues of some sort will arise after the legal date of 29th March 2019 for Brexit coming into effect. I didn’t consider it could be delayed because that date was already laid down in Law!!!

So, whatever would happen over the period of end-October 2018 to early July 2019? Continue reading

Clifford Hill on God’s turning disaster into prosperity

Am pleased to learn the opening news in the reverend doctor’s latest editorial (click title below for link), as well as his aligning with what I’d heard elsewhere (footnotes refer). I particularly note his closing remarks about a coming spiritual awakening and revival:

TURNING DISASTER INTO PROSPERITY

God Is Working His Purposes Out.

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking to a packed fringe meeting at the Church of England Synod in Westminster. There were a number of bishops and clergy of all ranks and the general atmosphere was one of deep concern for the state of the nation. The meeting was in Church House alongside Westminster Abbey and I think we were all aware of events across the road, where our politicians are struggling with seemingly intractable problems.

If any of those attending the meeting came expecting, or even hoping for, easy answers or joyful tidings, I’m afraid they would have gone away disappointed. The primary message I had to give was that God holds the Church responsible for the moral and spiritual state of the nation. I had been asked to speak about my latest book, ‘The Reshaping of Britain: Church and State since the 1960s’. I spoke about the last four Archbishops of Canterbury who I’ve known and worked alongside; and I spoke about the lack of a prophetic voice from the Church giving leadership to the nation in a time of revolutionary social, economic and political change.

It was not a comfortable message and in the short time of discussion it was clear that there are no easy answers to the situation. How do you bring creative, biblically-based change into an organisation as massive as the Church of England? I was only able to repeat what I’ve said so many times that there will be no revival in the nation until there is repentance in the Church. Of course, this is no easy message for those who are dealing with a multitude of pastoral problems in their congregations.

Right Understanding

One of the clergy asked, “Should we be encouraging young people in our churches to go into politics?” I know it is a very lonely and difficult place for Christians in the House of Commons at present. If there were a significant number of those who uphold biblical values and whose trust is in God, it would undoubtedly change the dynamics of politics and that should be a future hope and objective for all church leaders.

But I think it would take away a lot of our fear about the present political mess in the nation and our vast array of social problems if we simply understood what is going on. This means discerning the difference between the social engineering that has been driving the nation for the past 40 or 50 years generated by secular humanist advocates, and what is divine activity initiated by God.

Most Christians do not think in these terms because we do not rightly handle the whole word of God. We concentrate upon the Gospels and Epistles, but neglect to study the biblical Prophets, whom God used to reveal his nature and purposes to humanity in preparation for the coming of Messiah. Without a thorough understanding of this background we can never understand what God is doing in the world today. I said yesterday that this should be the major concern of church leaders today.

Listen to this from Isaiah 45:7“I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.” All the Prophets recognised that God creates disaster! But he is more than ready to change disaster into prosperity!!! In fact, that is God’s purpose! He is longing to see his children enjoying the blessings of those who uphold righteousness and live by the standards of truth he has revealed in his word over many thousands of years.

Shaking All Things

God is at present shaking all the nations, as he first revealed to the Prophet Haggai in 520 BC, the significance of which for today is explained in the New Testament in Hebrews 12. You can see this in the upheavals and bitter Brexit divisions in Britain, in the rise of the populist movement in many countries throughout Europe, and in the fear of the Brussels elite at what may happen in the EU election in May this year.

You can see it in the USA, where there has never before been such bitter division between Republicans and Democrats. You can see it in the upheavals in South America, in Venezuela; similarly in Africa, especially in Nigeria in recent days, in the Middle East, in the distressing humanitarian crises in Yemen and Syria, and in many other parts of the world.

It is not only the nations that are being shaken, but all the great institutions in which we human beings put our trust – including the Church! Right now, the Roman Catholic Church is being torn asunder by having to face the sexual sins of its clergy over many decades that are being revealed to the public. Successive Popes have delayed the day of reckoning for many years, but the Vatican is having to face the uncomfortable truth that a system of forced celibacy in a social climate of sexual libertarianism is a recipe for disaster! Large numbers of clergy have misused their spiritual power for sexual gratification, exploiting vulnerable children and adults. The day of judgment has arrived, and this has not just been brought about by social pressure, but by the judgement of God

For Love

Why is God shaking everything? It may be amazing to those who do not study the whole word of God – but when God brings judgment upon the evil institutions of humanity it is an expression of his LOVE!

God so loved the world that he gave his own Son to save humanity from self-destruction. But our tiny minds simply cannot comprehend the magnitude of God’s purposes without the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit to flood his truth into our lives.

Let me give a small illustration of the great truth that I’m trying to convey. For more than 30 years I have been trying to teach a basic sociological truth that when you weaken and undermine the family, you destroy the social fabric of society, because the family is the linchpin holding everything together. This is what we have done in Western society and this is the underlying cause of knife crime, gang warfare, drug use, bullying, depression and suicide. We have crucified truth and produced an age of fake news, lies, hatred and violence, driven by the forces of darkness that we have embraced.

But amidst all this, God is working out his purposes to bring human beings to the point where they recognise that they have no solutions to the problems they have created. When they begin to cry out ‘O God, what has gone wrong?’ God knows they will be then open to the truth. He is calling upon his Church to be ready for a great spiritual awakening! Not a revival of the old institutions that we call churches, but a genuine new openness to the truth, met by a Church that genuinely both lives and declares the unchanging word of God.

That is the way disaster will be turned into prosperity! And the good news is that we may not be far from the turning point!

Dr Clifford Hill, 22nd February

RB Footnotes:
  1. Re. ‘shaking’ – about 20 years ago the Lord opened Hebrews 12:18-29 to me at a house-group and I was impressed to read it aloud, although no-one followed up. Hence, my blog’s covering an increasing number of prophecies on The Shaking; eg. in ‘a new season of shaking’ and ‘a merciful but severe course correction’. I’m aware that Dr Hill’s mentioned it many times before.
  2. Re. ‘prosperity’ – the foundational NT verse for this is central to Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring day as well as our associate minister’s message, on Sat 9th and Sun 10th February (ie. preceding Clifford Hill’s editorial): Matt 6:32-3 “…But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (his way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given to you besides…”
  3. Sharon’s session was the first in a track on principles behind wealth creation for a nation, introducing it with: “This morning we’re at a fresh place in our covenant – everything old is being left behind as we move into a fresh phase of ‘more’.”  
  4. After having read Dr Hill’s and ProphecyTodayUK’s judgmental condemnation of other ministries at the Wembley Day of Prayer, my reaction was that it would be far more appropriate to direct it at the apostasy and support of satan’s agenda in Anglican and other churches, and calling on them to repent!  So it’s good he’s at last addressed an Anglican synod – BUT, did they repent??  He doesn’t say.

Spiritual nature of Brexit vs. EU battle – prophecies continue to be fulfilled

Continuing the previous post about Donald Tusk’s cursing the UK, in addition to Is the Lord Exposing Rotten Politics? UK, USA – next EU?? and the Fulfilled Prophecies #10 sequence, we now revisit other pertinent prophecies, closing with those on reversal of the curse.

Dr Sharon Stone: 2019 Word of the Lord – “A Brave New World”

As though answering my reader’s query about training for the Millennium (1989 > 2009 > 2019 > The Age to Come refers), Revd Dr Sharon brings these words from the Lord about our moving into that preparation. (I note her dreaming of Revelation 22 in view of its relevance to my post and the link therein):

A BRAVE NEW WORLD

Brave
I have felt a sense of urgency concerning the word “BRAVE”.
As the angel of the Lord told Joshua, “Only be Strong & Courageous”, he was instructing him to be brave. God is telling you; “Bravery is a characteristic you will need to develop in this season. Sometimes it will look like relentless faith as you are challenged to do greater feats than you’ve ever done before. Be brave and you’ll do great exploits both inside and outside My Church”.

Prov. 28:1 tells us the righteous are bold as a lion. There is an excitement in my spirit as I hear the Lord say; “You will be called upon to break the silence and roar together with Me the Lion of Judah’”. This combined roar will fulfil Amos 3:8, A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

This brave new prophetic sound will shift your circumstances and atmosphere. Prophets it’s time to let your prophecies roar! Remember your strength and might is in the Lord, Eph. 6:10, ‘Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.’

“A Brave New World”

New
The Holy Spirit is presenting us with a challenge, “Are you willing to be an amateur in the New verses a Professional in the Old”?

God wants to give you a new beginning, breaking addictive cycles in your life. This can look like exposure or judgement and feel like shame or condemnation. But it’s God’s mercy giving you a reset in purity, authority and destiny.

Many of you will feel like God is pushing your buttons and all your issues are rising to the surface. He is and they are! Ephesians 4:13 says, ‘til we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ’.

I watched as hard ground was suddenly being broken up. Prophets were as threshing instruments with teeth. They were more frequently releasing revelation publicly and privately that exposed, judged and redeemed. There was so much shakings, because judgement must begin in the house of the Lord first.

This purging and purifying released a new Fear of the Lord. A biblical fruit of the Fear of the Lord is, Acts 5:11,12, greater signs, wonders and miracles.

This brought a new Acceleration and Escalation of God’s Plans.
The manifestation of God’s promises to you will increase forward and upward to a new level. This will be amazing times of kingdom growth, kingdom advances with a speed we have not seen before.

New Innovations and Solutions

You cannot expect to do/live life as usual. You can expect to receive creative revelation for solutions. God said; “Many avoid experimentation as they don’t want to be considered foolish or immature. But I am freeing you from the routine of old ways. I am downloading to you supernatural answers for the world needs. This is the spirit of innovation.

Prophetic innovators will meet with marketplace and government innovators to seek solutions to global uncertainties. These innovators will release claim to their patents and personal financial agendas for the greater good. I will release benefactors and financial miracles for these solutions”.

Innovations will include:
Breakthrough in preventative disease medicine and longevity, technology, communication, banking, business, social needs and even new ways of doing church.

I heard a hopeful noise from the earth asking, “What about Crypto currency?”    And I heard the Lord reply; “It is not about Crypto currency, but about forced change and an update of technology and whistle-blowers that will impact financial sectors”. And some banks in Greece and Italy will come under EU management.

The innovator Nehemiah had to deal with small mindedness, threats and mocking interruptions. Gods says, He wants you to face down your Sanballat and Tobiah. Refuse yesterday’s familiar hijacking, rise and build solutions.

New ways of evangelism and new places of harvest. I have repeatedly heard in my spirit the commissioning by the Lord of the Harvest, “to harvest the harvesters”. God knows what areas will be the most fruitful, Matt 9:38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His (now) harvest.” God will release new strategies for outreach.

I’ve dreamed of Rev 22:17, erupting from heaven and earth. And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come”. This is heaven and earth cooperating with fresh communication technologies for the proclamation of the gospel of salvation.

A New Synergy for Success

I have seen a new measurement of success. It is the Generations honouring, working and ministering together. It is the tri-generational blessing of Psalm 33 which commands success upon families, churches, businesses, government and nations that operate in this unity.

This is a new synergy of merged generations, a new synergy of revivals past, present and future, a new synergy of Western Europe realising it has much to learn from Eastern and Central Europe also. Part of the fruit of this new synergy is momentum for kingdom movements.

New Movements

God spoke to me about “Ministries becoming Movements”. “There will be a Coalition Labour Movement. This is not a government political party. It is the compliment of Christians, ministries and charities labouring together in kingdom agendas, (evangelism, social justice and basic human needs). There will be a grassroots groundswell of selfless volunteers, millennials to pensioners changing their world”.

These new movements are not meant to build someone’s empire but to create momentum, spiritual highways and Holy Spirit bandwagons to mobilise My body. This will get the attention of governments, as they see mobilised faith, action, belief and voting”.

God is asking, “Do you want My voice of many waters? Then you must be a part of the streams coming together.”

New Government Influence

I can feel Government doors of relationship for influence being opened. No longer will it be the few or elite that are given this access. But the many as Jesus opens doors that no man can shut. These influential opportunities are for support, solutions, warnings and wise counsel.

In Is. 56:9 it speaks of God giving nations the strength to birth. God calls you to midwife the “rebirth of your nations”. In the United Kingdom that means; rebirth as a nation with a Christian heritage, Godly identity and purpose. The UK will be commissioned anew to represent unvarnished, authentic leadership as a redemptive national gift.

This rebirth will be a first domino activating the Commonwealth nations to midwife their nations into Godly moral justice with anti-corruption safeguards and delay being broken.

So pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for those in authority that you might be used by God to shift discord and civil unrest in the atmospheres of and nations through governmental influence.

New Prayer Specializations

I saw a great tipping point of prayer in the earth. Christians are coming to the realisation that no government official whether a Christian or a Cyrus will always represent God with his opinions, character or morals.

Intercessors were taking the responsibility and authority of the ecclesia to rule with their binding and loosing, Matt 16:19, “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The focus was on, what are the Prophetic Watchman seeing? The results were more national prayer days, night watches and seasons of travailing prayer.

I observed Spiritual Warfare which has been marginalised in the church, return to favour and function, Eph. 6:12 says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

There was the sound and intensity of Praying in the Spirit with a new passion. Paul stated he prayed more in the spirit than all those he knew. We had this unction to pray without ceasing also. We were interceding what God’s heart was decreeing, even when we didn’t know how to pray in these historical, critical times.

“A Brave New World”

World
God has been repeating again and again; “In this season, I will use the critical times in the nations to create a stage for My presence and glory.”

Ps 77:12-14 – I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
v.13 – Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God?
v.14 – You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

This great displaying of God’s Glory and Power will be a witness to the world. Nature will also manifest this new level of glory.

We will see and hear frequently of natural disasters and volcanic activity. Do not assume this is a judgement of God, but heaven invading earth. This is also birth pains in the earth.

This witness to the world of God’s invading glory and power is also preparing our nations for revival, awakening, reformation and a vast harvest of souls.

Revd Dr Sharon Stone, 4th January 2019

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dr Sharon Stone word from the Lord on Britain and the EU: A merciful but severe course correction

Further to my brief notes from Dr Sharon’s mentoring day on 2019 being a new season of shaking for the UK, here’s the specific word from the Lord on our severance from the EU for your information and prayerful weighing:

Chuck Pierce: “The next 40 days are crucial for London!” (GPS#24.2)

I’m grateful to GOD TV (UK) for kind permission to republish this prophetic word from Chuck after having heard Dr Sharon Stone refer to it last Saturday when teaching on a new, ‘pregnant’ season of shaking during the 9 months from Nov 2018 to July 2019.  This word is noteworthy in view of Chuck’s 2005 word of warning and prayer directive coinciding with Big Ben’s inexplicable stoppage, and immediately subsequent events – see Prophecy Library’s ‘2005 Shelf’ – and to which he briefly refers 37 mins into video;

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

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

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

THE NEXT 40 DAYS ARE CRUCIAL FOR LONDON

URGENT PROPHECY FROM CHUCK PIERCE

A new day is breaking in London as God brings much-needed redirection – London Awaken 2018

Prophet ‘Chuck’ Pierce delivered an atmosphere-shifting prophetic word for the United Kingdom’s capital on 30th October at the London Awaken Conference hosted by Betty King. He said that a new day is breaking for the city bringing a major redirection over the next nine months and he calls believers to be a part of what God wants to do in the UK.

Chuck believes this is a time of visitation for London, where God is auditing the systems in place including the Government, and Church and bringing redirection. Watch this prophecy and be challenged to be a part of something new coming to London – a new worship movement that sweeps the city bringing a new bridge of revival from the city to the world.

Chuck felt an urgent call from God to share this word with the Church in the UK and partnered with Betty King of Betty King Ministries International and Truth Vine Church to deliver this message. He believes the next 40 days are crucial, especially to remove a spirit of complacency.

Chuck says women can be key here, in accordance with Isaiah 32:9. “Rise up, you women who are at ease, Hear my voice; You complacent daughters, Give ear to my speech.” 

Whoever you are in the UK or not, a man or a woman, you will be inspired by this ground-breaking prophecy which seeks to shift the spiritual atmosphere in Great Britain at this crucial time in the nation’s history. “Your gift is needed,” as Chuck says, “So, rise up!”

[Full transcript available here]

The Significance of this Prophecy

In the highlights clip below of London Awaken you will hear from event host, Betty King as well as James Aladiran of Prayer Storm, about the significance of this prophetic word for the UK.

Betty King International Ministries is devoted to the relentless pursuit of Jesus through prayer and intercession. Prayer Storm is a movement of worship, prayer and fasting which exists to provoke a spiritual awakening by raising an army of praying warriors.

Charles D. “Chuck” Pierce serves as President of Global Spheres, a apostolic, prophetic ministry and Glory of Zion International Ministries, which aligns Jews and Gentile. He is known for his accurate prophetic gifting which helps direct nations, cities, churches and individuals in understanding the times and seasons in which we live.

2019 – a new season of shaking for UK (GPS#24.1)

Three messages about a new season in the Lord are submitted for prayerful weighing, two of which are published today. The first, delivered by Dr Sharon Stone last Saturday to prepare for a prophetic word for 2019, is summarised from my all too brief notes as checked against my recording, and which I pray may do her in-depth teaching justice:

OUT OF SURVIVAL INTO REVIVAL MODE
  • God brings clarity and revelation to prophecies for the old season when we move into a new season AND brings another installment! (eg. those for 2018)
  • Many prophets have spoken of a ‘divine reversal/comeback’
  • Now a prophet’s reward season – no longer ‘watch and see’ but ‘build and plant’!
  • Fresh definition of revival needed,; one meaning it’s everyone’s revival!
  • Significance of 2019 – 9 means completion: eg. fruits of the Spirit, 9 beatitudes,9 gifts of the Spirit – now need for greater and longer praying in the Spirit which makes it like travelling by skateboard to a JET.
  • Important to operate in Ephesians 1 mode to release and move into our proper job description, authority and alignment as prophetic people.
  • Breakthrough and birth are at 9th month Hebrew letter (tet) signifies a pregnant woman, and is equivalent of ‘expectation’ – thus, push need to make manifest!
  • God wants to answer/bring delivery so it will be seen by others and bring hope.
  • 3 P’s – prayer, praise and prophesy to release powerful angels who bring about the impossible (Isa 30:31) – if feeling besieged need to repent and do 3 Ps!
  • God made prophets not to be a special elite keeping what they hear to themselves but to be BLABBERMOUTHS to bring to birth what He’s about to do!

CHANGE OF SEASON – NEXT 9 MONTHS:

  • Teaching on scriptures for change of season – 1Kings 18:36-39; Ezek 9-19; Dan 9; Acts 3:1 and Acts 10
  • Revival prayers are Kingdom-related rather than self-centred (as ‘survival mode’) and God is going to give so many miracles to focus upon what He’s doing, which gives us more time as there’s less need to focus on needs.
  • We’re pushing through to see a nation born in a day!

“I believe – and I’m not in favour of this, God didn’t ask my advice or opinion – I believe the UK is getting ready to go through a great shaking for the next 9 months…

“I believe nobody votes for shaking, but this shaking is to bring something good, something new out…It is for us and not against us but if you don’t know what this 9 months of shaking is about – then note when the earth shook when Jesus died, it released a new season and I believe what’s going to happen in the UK is a change will take place and that for 9 months God will be speaking…

“So from now to end-July 2019 the emphasis is to pray “Lord bring us through quickly! God, accomplish everything you need to do and I’m not going to let it change my opinion of what You need to do.

“I believe God’s shaking is going to bring about revival, resurrection life, the awakening of dry bones and this will actually cause a fresh declational release in this nation that Jesus IS the Son of God.”

BIRTHING A NEW SEASON

By Passion for the Nation on Wednesday November 7th, 2018

Our Heavenly Father, may the glory of Your Name be the centre on which our life turns. May your Holy Spirit come upon us and cleanse us. Manifest Your Kingdom on earth” (Luke 11:2 Passion Translation)

We declare over this nation:

“Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. We decree Your people in this nation will come into agreement with Your word, ‘to seek first the Kingdom of God’ both in prayer and lifestyle.

“We decree a fresh desire to hear Your heartbeat and perceive the presence of the Holy Spirit guiding, leading, and instructing will come upon Your people. We call them into Your Presence to understand Your ways, that the power of prayer will be exercised and increased across the land.

“You are establishing Your Kingdom to overwhelm and overcome every opposing Kingdom, You are setting things in order, setting up Your governmental rule on the earth as it is in Heaven. So, in the Name of Jesus, we declare Your purpose over this nation to display Your Kingdom and Your Kingship.”

TANGIBLE CHANGE

Lion Bites from Glasgow Prophetic Centre issued 7th November 2018

The goodness of God is falling on your skin like rain to bring physical, real, tangible change. This encounter isn’t ethereal or far off, nor is it an encounter that will make you feel good for a moment yet not last. This showering of His glory is coming to reorder your internal workings and alter the way you approach life from this point onwards. Just like God transformed Moses’ physical skin after causing glory to pass him by, so there will be a real life change for you.

Make yourself available as much as possible for God’s glory to pass you by. Create space and time in your diary and schedules to sit and press in for more of God regularly until you are forever changed.

Exodus 34:29
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD.

Another confirmation of the curse over Britain being reversed!

Text of Vision and Word on UK’s Breaking Away from the EU posted on 7th June gives Veronika West’s oral introduction to a very powerful vision of an immense glacier that the Lord gave her, as well as a copy of her written record entitled:

AN URGENT WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN – ”BREXIT; A BREAKING AWAY FROM THE EU, A DIVINE REVERSAL AND A SUPERNATURAL OVERTURNING WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE LAND”!

In watching the vision unfold as a huge piece shears away from the glacier (the EU) to form an iceberg, which then flips over to produce a huge wave and seeing its spreading ripples, she hears the Lord tell her (note my emphasis):

“WATCH! For I AM turning things upside down and inside out, I AM will reverse and overturn the curse over the Nation of Great Britain”!

Then five more pieces shear away and the Lord says,

“WATCH! For a great breaking away of the Nations from the EU will begin to take place in the days ahead as My Spirit moves mightily to dismantle and destroy the Stronghold of Globalism”!

A month later a video and news article brought confirmation that the vision does indeed relate to the EU – see News ‘Signs’ Confirm EU Glacier-Iceberg Prophecy.

Yet more confirmation was to follow at Christian International Europe meeting, as she posted last Sunday on Ignite Ireland Ministry:

‘GOD IS CONFIRMING HIS WORD CONCERNING BREXIT; “THE CURSE WILL BE REVERSED OVER THE NATION”!
Please listen to the video below (listen at 33:30 minutes – click muted loudspeaker icon) that was sent to me the other day of a National Prophetic Prayer Meeting held in Windsor on the 8th September 2018, during the meeting there comes a powerful prophetic decree concerning BREXIT AND “THE CURSE BEING REVERSED OVER THE LAND”; AS A NATION WE ARE GOING FROM BARRENNESS TO FRUITFULNESS.’

After in-depth teaching, activations and team-ministry sessions Revd Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring days close with a period devoted to spontaneous worship with intercession to change the spiritual atmosphere over our nation. This video of that time comes courtesy of Prophetic Voice TV, as produced by Tomi Arayomi, after whose praying Dr Sharon comes to the platform telling about what she’d heard as he was taking authority over the enemy of our souls,

“Even as he spoke I heard a choir of angels join in singing with us and they were saying,”THE CURSE HAS NOW BEEN REVERSED!”

Those words were then taken up in worship as a declaration “Let the curse now be reversed!” Sharon took this into warfare to return that curse back on the enemy and demand repayment, then asks the Lord, “What is the repayment?” and brings, “And the Spirit of God says this…He says, 

“Instead of fear over trade post-Brexit, I’m going to bring a supernatural feast.”

Amen!

Prophecies on the spiritual significance of hurricanes striking the USA – part 1

The Weather Channel: why climatology doesn’t have much of a say in Florence’s unusual track (click image for link).

Not following news programmes over our long weekend other than for a quick-scan of William Koenig’s newsfeed, I did however notice one about Hurricane Florence making a ‘bizarre’ change of course approaching America’s eastern seaboard.

This curious fact is reminiscent of the profound prophetic word Revd Dr Sharon Stone brought in 2012 about the special significance of Hurricane Sandy in changes the Lord is bringing to the influence of Christian history and giving a new spiritual direction and changing the course and identities of nations. The last part, on returning the UK and USA to their national identities, was unwittingly announced years later by President-elect Donald Trump (see Fulfilled Prophecy #15).

So now I’m back at my desk, let’s walk through a few related items in reverse order that have popped up. The latest come from Veronika West, which you may wish to share for purposes of prayer and intercession:

1 – the latest visionary word she posted approx 8am today (note: important clarification re the Tribulation of Bible prophecy):

A WORD OF SOBER WARNING: I SAW 7 MIGHTY WHIRLWINDS SIT UPON THE PALM OF HIS HAND AND THEN BEING RELEASED UPON THE NATIONS!

‘Last night just after midnight I was woken suddenly by a what I can only describe as a vision/dream it was very short and to the point.

‘In this vision/dream I saw the two hands of God coming together and being brought up to his mouth and then I saw Him blow forth into his closed hands and then He opened them and a GREAT WHIRLWIND sat upon the palm of His hand. Now As I looked at the Whirlwind sitting upon His hand suddenly I saw the Whirlwind begin to lift up and move forward and then I saw the Whirlwind being released upon the Nations of the earth. As I stayed Watching intently I saw again the hands of God come together and I watched as He blew into them and yet again another Whirlwind was formed and it sat upon the palm of His hand, I watched as the Whirlwind grew in size and in great power as it sat upon His hand then I watched as the Whirlwind once again lifted up and it was released upon the Nations. Now I watched in the vision this taking place “7 times”, then I looked and I saw 7 MIGHTY WHIRLWINDS moving upon the earth and then I heard these words,

“MY WHIRLWINDS COME TO AWAKEN THE SLEEPING AND STIFF-NECKED NATIONS, MY WHIRLWINDS COME TO MAKE WAY, MY WHIRLWINDS COME TO SCATTER, TO SHAKE, TO SEPARATE, TO SIFT AND SHIFT THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, FOR THE DAYS ARE COMING WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS WILL CRY OUT “THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH”, BUT THE WICKED WILL CRY OUT “THESE ARE THE DAYS OF NOAH” AND MANY SHALL LOOK FOR A WAY OF ESCAPE AND FIND NONE!”

‘Suddenly I woke up and found myself praying fervently in the Spirit, as I began to inquire of the Lord again I heard the Spirit say, “THE WHIRLWINDS OF MY SPIRIT WILL GATHER THE WHEAT AND SCATTER THE TARES, THE WHIRLWINDS OF MY SPIRIT WILL CAUSE A GREAT SHAKING, SIFTING AND SHIFTING TO TAKE PLACE IN THE NATIONS, WATCH! FOR A DIVINE DISRUPTION HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED UPON THE NATIONS”!

‘Then it was quickened to me by the Holy Spirit the Word I gave concerning the USA. Please read and PRAY!! (A Word for the USA refers)

‘PS: I DO NOT BELIEVE that this is speaking of the Great Tribulation, but rather this is speaking about the GREAT SHAKING that is now taking place in the Nations. THIS IS THE HOUR OF A GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING UPON THE EARTH. I see and feel THE WHOLE EARTH IS BEING PURGED AND PURIFIED….!’

Whirlwind

2 – Note especially the graphical allusion, which I’ve underlined in Veronika’s previous posted last night:

AN URGENT WORD FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…; WATCH! FIRST THE SHARP SICKLE OF TRIUMPH NOW THE SHARP SICKLE OF DIVINE JUSTICE AND JUDGEMENT SHALL FLY ACROSS THE NATION”, says God…!

‘While in Worship this morning as I was praying for the Nations of the Earth suddenly I clearly heard the Spirit of God say, “Daughter TELL THE NATION OF AMERICA TO GET READY, TELL THEM TO WATCH AND PRAY! FIRST THE SICKLE OF TRIUMPH NOW THE SICKLE OF DIVINE JUSTICE AND JUDGEMENT SHALL FLY ACROSS THE NATION, TELL MY PEOPLE TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN AND THAT WHICH I HAVE PROMISED WILL NO LONGER TARRY BUT SURELY IT SHALL NOW COME TO PASS IN THIS NATION, FOR EVEN NOW MY GOVERNMENTAL HAND IS MOVING UPON THE WHITE HOUSE, UPON THE HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND UPON THE COURTS OF JUSTICE, WATCH! AS MY SPIRIT OF TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD COMES LIKE A SHARP SICKLE MOVING SWIFTLY, SEVERELY AND SUDDENLY UPON THE HEADS OF THE WICKED, LISTEN! FOR THE SOUND OF RIGHTEOUS RETRIBUTION WILL BE HEARD GOING FORTH ACROSS THE LAND, WATCH AND PRAY BELOVED, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE VIOLATED MY LAWS AND MY STATUES AND THOSE WHO HAVE KILLED THE UNBORN AND THOSE WHO HAVE BOWED DOWN TO THE IDOL OF BAAL IN THIS NATION WILL NOW BE GATHERED UP LIKE RIPE GRAPES ON THE VINE AND THEY SHALL BE TRODDEN UNDER-FOOT, WATCH AS THE SHARP SICKLE OF MY JUSTICE AND JUDGEMENT NOW FLIES FORTH ACROSS THE NATION OF AMERICA”!

‘Friends, when I heard those words a powerful vision opened up before me where I saw a golden sickle coming out of the heavens and begin to fly forth across the land of America. Now as I watched the sharp sickle fly, suddenly the Holy Spirit quickened to me a powerful word and vision I received in July 2016 just a few months before the Presidential Elections. In that vision I too saw a sickle fly across the Nation, it was the “SICKLE OF TRIUMPH”. The Spirit of God showed me in that powerful vision the face of Donald Trump engraved upon the sharp sickle and I was shown that a GREAT SHIFTING AND SIFTING was about to take place over the Nation. PLEASE SEE WORD; “SICKLE OF TRIUMPH”;’

3 – Note the hurricane’s REVISED, sickle-shaped tracking as estimated by The Weather Channel on charts published Saturday:

4 – Friday’s late-night report Koenig’s Eye-View From The White House, quoted two noteworthy news items from Wednesday, as follows (emphases mine):

Hurricane Florence path shift ‘bizarre,’ could bring ‘catastrophic flooding’ to Southeast (Source: USA Today – Sept 12)

‘The weird saga of Hurricane Florence, which has already carved an unprecedented path across the Atlantic, is forecast to persist with a strange stall and trek along the Southeast coast.

Instead of roaring ashore and quickly heading inland and weakening, as most storms do, Hurricane Florence should instead “stall near the coast and then parallel southwestward toward Georgia,” Weather Channel meteorologist Greg Postel said. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”

‘AccuWeather meteorologist Marshall Moss said Florence’s track is unique. “It was located farther north in the Atlantic than any other storm to ever hit the Carolinas, so what we’re forecasting is unprecedented,” Moss said.

‘Also, most storms coming into the Carolinas tend to move northward, and this storm looks like it’s going to stall over the region, Moss added.’

Hurricane Florence Joins the Ranks of Weirdest Hurricane and Tropical Storm Tracks (Source: Weather Channel – Sept 12)

‘Florence’s path has already been a weird one and it’s forecast to get stranger through the end of this week.

‘Many hurricanes follow very clear tracks, for example, a curve around the south and west sides of the Bermuda-Azores high in the Atlantic Basin, or just a straight buzzsaw through the Caribbean Sea. In these cases, the atmosphere’s steering flow is strong and persistent enough to keep the hurricane on a steady path. Forecast tracks of those are, straightforward.

‘Then, you have others like Florence.:

Late last week Florence was in a spot that’s typically far enough north for a hurricane to curve out to sea and not impact the United States. In fact, no tropical storm or hurricane in recorded history has passed within 100 miles of Florence’s location last Friday and still made a United States landfall.’

Also that day, MSNBC’s meteorologist Bill Karins gave a warning of a ‘big change’ in the storm, as reported over here in depth by the Daily Express.

Even more astonishing than all this are William Koenig’s observations over the last three decades of a correlation between severe storms and every US administration’s interference with the land of Israel. We’ll consider this in Part 2 >>

GPS #15: ‘Now’ prophetic word – Time on earth and in heaven is being synchronised!

Am very, very excited over this stunning ‘God-incidence’ of Global Prophecy Signals. Whilst I’m writing on Daniel’s prophetic time-scale in our days, the Alpha and Omega, the geometry of Genesis 1:1 and learning about the fascinating aspect of Time in ‘the Beginning’, on which I’ll blog next week, over in Northern Ireland Veronika West publishes this exceptionally profound word of imminent expectation.:

AN URGENT ‘NOW’ WORD FOR THE NATIONS…!!! HEAVEN’S TIME IS NOW MOVING UPON THE EARTH’S CLOCK!

“LISTEN AND WATCH! FOR THE TIME-PIERCING SWORD IS GOING FORTH TO TURN AND SHIFT THE FACE OF THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, WATCH! FOR HEAVEN’S TIME IS NOW MOVING UPON THE HANDS OF THE EARTH’S CLOCK”!

Please READ AND SHARE this word, last night I was taken by the Spirit into a powerful dream encounter where I was shown and I heard a clock begin to chime in the heavens. Then I saw the following unfold before (once again).

THERE IS AN URGENCY TO THIS WORD, in last night’s encounter I heard the Spirit say, “TIME IS IN MY HAND, LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION BELOVED, FOR WHAT HAS BEGUN TO TAKE PLACE SHALL NOT BE TURNED BACK”!

“NOW WATCH! FOR THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH ARE BEING PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH HEAVEN’S TIME”

I had a powerful Prophetic Dream last night, where I was standing on the axis of the Earth. I could see some of the far off and distant planets of solar system in space. It was breathtakingly beautiful!!

As I stood on the axis of the Earth’s surface, suddenly a large signpost pole that had many arrows pointing in different directions came out of the ground. Each arrow had the Name of a Nation upon it, as I looked at the pole I noticed there was a large clock at the top of the pole. The clock seemed to be standing still but, as I continued to watch the clock, suddenly the small second hand began to move very fast, and then the minute hand began to move, and then the hour hand moved. As I watched all three of the hands move, they spun very quickly around the face of the large clock; then suddenly all three hands stopped at the 12 and I heard the clock chime VERY LOUDLY, ‘DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, DONG, THE CLOCK SOUNDED OUT 12 CHIMES WHICH WENT FORTH UPON THE NATIONS ..!

And Immediately I heard these words, “The Nations of the Earth are now perfectly Aligning with Heaven’s Timing”!

Then suddenly the arrows on the pole began to move violently around and around, as I watched closer I saw one by one the arrows fly off the pole and each arrow flew into the ground like a stake, arrow after arrow they penetrated the ground until I saw 12 perfectly lined stakes, 12 Names of Nations standing in perfect alignment with one another.

“STAKES BECAME ANCIENT GATES”

As I continued to watch, I saw the stakes in the ground suddenly being turned and transformed into ancient Gates. Now 12 Gates stood before me, each Gate had the Name of Nation upon it, as I looked at the Gates, I could see 12 Keys. Then out of the heavens seemed to come 12 bright lights, as I watched the bright lights one by one they approached the 12 Gates.

Then I heard these words, “These are My 12 Commissioning Apostles and Prophets for such a time as this”!

After hearing these words then I saw what looked like 12 Priests wearing crowns upon their heads, each Apostle/Priest took the key and opened the Ancient Gate, and each one walked through to the other side.

As I followed through one of the Gates, I saw men and woman on their knees, they looked like they had been waiting and praying, then I saw the Apostle/Priest begin to put his hand on their foreheads, he took a small horn from under his robe and began to pour oil out of it, he poured the oil over each of them.

Then I heard him say, “I Anoint and Commission you as Kings and Priests with the Authority of Heaven, Now Go into the Nations.”

I believe that the interpretation of this Dream is multilayered, and there is still more to come, however here is what I believe Father is showing us NOW!

“The Nations of the Earth are being perfectly Aligned with Heavens Time”, we have entered into a Time of Great Shifting and Sifting among the Nations and Tribes of the Earth.

Two nights ago I saw in the spirit 12 Wells being opened up and Rivers flowing forth from the mouth of them. I saw a great outpouring of supernatural Gifts and Anointings being given to God’s people, Father showed me 12 specific Mantles being released from Heaven, three that I saw were the Joseph, Elijah and Esther Mantles being released over many in this hour, then I saw 12 baskets over flowing with manna, and 12 Large Pottery Jars of New Wine.

Then last night I see the perfect alignment of 12 specific Nations. I saw America, Australia and the United Kingdom: these were only 3 of the 12 Nations that I saw coming into perfect Alignment with Heaven’s Time.

I saw the hand of God STRATEGICALLY moving upon the Governments in these three Nations, I heard Father whisper to me, “Daughter, WATCH! FOR THE TIME-PIERCING SWORD IS GOING FORTH TO TURN AND SHIFT THE FACE OF THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. WATCH, FOR HEAVEN’S TIME IS NOW MOVING UPON THE HANDS OF THE EARTH’S CLOCK”!

I submit and believe that there is a Commissioning Anointing being released by God in this hour to those that are Ready and Seeking for His Will to be Established above all else in the Nations of the Earth.

I Prophesy; This is a TIME OF DIVINE ORDER AND ALIGNMENT, HEAVEN’S RULE AND GOVERNMENT IS BEING ESTABLISHED UPON THE EARTH, THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD ARE BEING SUPERNATURALLY SENSITISED TO HEAVEN’S TIME, I PROPHESY GOD IS RESETTING AND RE-CALIBRATING THE INNER WORKINGS OF OUR SPIRITS, HEARTS ARE BEING PERFECTLY SYNCHRONISED WITH THE SPIRIT AND THE HEART OF GOD IN THIS HOUR!

I Decree: In this New Season I see Heaven releasing and revealing Kingdom Assignments, there are New Places and Positions of Great Influence and Favour being poured out over faithful Sons and Daughters.

In this season, the Compass of Heaven is directing and redirecting the Sons and Daughters of God, they will Walk in God’s Perfect Timing and in the Spirit of Unity, they will be of one Vision and Purpose. They have heard the Commissioner’s Call and they have responded in Radical Obedience and Sacrifice, they are “Called for Such a Time as This”!

Please Share as you feel led; I believe this is a Time of Divine Release which requires a Divine Positioning. Let’s Respond to God in deep Humility and total Surrender.

Veronika West, 26th April 2018, Ignite Ireland Ministry

Veronika is ordained by Christian International Europe Ministries as a prophet and accountable to Apostle and Prophets Revd Dr Sharon Stone and Greg Black of CIE Ministries in the UK. [CIE is an international ministry founded by Revd Dr Bill Hamon.]

GPS#11 part 3: Dr Sharon Stone – new prophetic season for UK

Now, I get to use the graphic I almost used for the first part of my 11th instance of God’s GPS (Global Prophecy Signals) but for ‘AD’s reminder as I was about to publish it!  To my mind it’s symbolic of the positioning of comms satellites over and around the earth but immersed in an influx of spiritual power and information.

This series of GPS#11 is about an influx of events and information I received during the fortnight covering the end of January and first complete week of February, all of which are related to the increasing need to pray for Great Britain. The first part featured ‘AD’s email reminding the Church to humble ourselves, repent of our wrongdoing and pray for change in ourselves so our nation maybe blessed. The second brought a strong word of encouragement for the ecclesia in following the Lord’s will and bringing about His plans for Britain. [NB: my editorial haste led to a couple of minor amendments being made – especially that we “Arise and accept the commission…”, and spell-checker changes of  ‘thou’ to ‘though’.]

As intimated in my New Year’s Blessing to readers, its relation to the Word for 2018 Leisa delivered, the ‘resurrection’ of the Word on Castles and Praying for UK from Liz Evans, all plugging into Jane Hamon’s word about receiving a Prophet’s Reward, I’ve been mulling over the possibility of a new level of insight and authority in my writings as being akin to prophetic declarations. (Some ‘sabbatical’, LOL.)

This was confirmed by Dr Sharon Stone in how she prayed for delegates at the year’s first mentoring day on 3rd February that, however we start the year, our posture puts us in a place of alignment to succeed, to fulfill and to accomplish the themes Father has put before us. Before teaching on how to ‘Engage’ with Jesus she referred to what she received in January when the Lord spoke to her and said,

“Sharon, I have given you a good reputation in the land.” For this I thank Him. He’s given me favour with many, but now He’s saying, “NOW, let’s use it!”  

I felt like I was given TEETH…I mean the threshing instrument with teeth [Isaiah 41:15].

“You know when you’re pioneering a lot of the time you operate in a lot of protocol and become all things to all people so there might be understanding and agreement and wisdom, and you encourage and you persuade…and you do all those things and you change the label of the prophetic to fit in every place you go because you know that when they get a taste of it they won’t let go; because it’s their Lord, their Saviour, their Deliverer, their Healer, their Restorer, their Redeemer.

“And so when they recognise that’s THE voice they realise how contagious it is, then they realise they cannot live without the voice of God, without having that greater clarity on the inside. How can they fulfill their destiny without having a greater understanding of strategy? How can they possibly know what to do with their day without having a God that speaks to them as a time manager, even to help them fulfill everything that God’s called them to do?

“I’ve done all that and the Lord says, “Now let’s use that reputation!”

“Amen, I don’t believe that reputation solely rest upon my shoulders and so I pray right now for these (delegates):

“Father, we’re in a different prophetic season with teeth, not one with just protocol. Father this isn’t a season of political correctness!

“Father, this is a prophetic season of TEETH! And so where many of us have allowed diplomacy to fill our mouths – we thank You for that God – but I release right now the sharpness of Your sword; I release the sharpness of Your teeth to accomplish much in the name of Jesus; the sharpness of  the threshing instrument to be able to accomplish what needs to be accomplished.

“And so stand here and speak to the enemy and say: Where you have thought you could run alongside us and that we’d do nothing about you, we declare today that we put you on notice and command you: Back up and back off! – in the name of Jesus!”

Sharon and delegates then went into warfare mode!

Afterwards, I happened to chat with one of her associates, Suzanne Ferrett, with whom I’d shared what I’d ‘seen’ out at the Runnymede area a few years ago. That’s where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215 AD and now, in discussion, I learn about her prophetic intercessory ministry based upon a spiritual version of that Great Charter.

After starting to investigate further and whilst writing this I begin to see the ‘invisible jigsaw pieces’ coming together once again, because not only does this plug into the prophetic word on castles, but also into my researches on the history of Reading and the Thames Valley in the times of King Alfred the Great, and of his establishing a Christian government across ancient Wessex and Mercia – see Historical Research hub.

Therefore, I recommend Suzanne’s website Passion For The Nation to all intercessors –  visit and peruse by clicking on this image:

Bible Update: Genesis 12 – Dr Sharon Stone 2018 prophecy on the US Dollar

Now [in Haran] the LORD said to Abram, “Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

“And I will make of you a great nation and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

“And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language towards you; in you all the families and kindred of the earth will be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].” (Gen 12:1-3 Amplified Bible)

All Christians who are keen on learning more about the gift of prophecy and the office of prophet are warmly advised to listen to Dr Sharon Stone’s wise instruction on receiving annual prophecies. Her wisdom and experience intersperse her update on an accurate prophetic word and sharing what she believes the Lord is saying for this year.

“I’ve been prophesying the words of the Lord for years and we have a lot of history that has already come to pass. One of the words that came to pass (prophesied at last year’s New Year’s Eve service) is that the embassy of the United States would be moved to Jerusalem!

“…The Philippines is now moving their embassy as are Hungary and Honduras…we will be talking about that in a moment…”

Whilst typing I’m listening to this video for the first time and, starting at 2:08, the next thing Sharon says is, “I want to talk about the only number that’s changed; number 8.”  She explains about its meaning as in the previous post.

Thank you to Sharon and Prophetic Voice TV for encouraging sharing these highlights of what she brought for 2018 across social media and in church communities.:

– God is going to put Israel on the map and in the headlines.

– The US dollar will rise!

– Anyone with investable income should look to invest in the US dollar as God will bless the American dollar for its dealings with Israel.

– More Nations will join the US in moving their embassies to Jerusalem.

– In 2017 God led you through closed doors but in 2018 God is going to lead you through open doors.

– in 2018 you have to be postured to take new territory, God is releasing a pioneering spirit upon the body of Christ.

– God is going to create a moral revolution on the seven mountains.

– Non-Christian movies are going to be made with a moral standard that are going to woo others towards God. The fear of the Lord is returning!

Although Genesis 12 isn’t necessarily referred to, its promissory declaration of the Lord – as well as other scriptures – is foundational to and implicit in the prophecy that Sharon says has been fulfilled and in what she heard on Israel and about America’s prosperity. (Those who understand Bible prophecy have already noted the latter as a consequence of President Trump aligning America more closely to Israel rather than being hostile, as was his predecessor.)

Dr Sharon’s word for 2017 was delivered in four parts, the first of which may be seen on YouTube here and watch The Soul of the Nations: Brexit & Presidential Election on what she foresaw about ‘Trump Triumph’ in November 2016.

Prophetic ‘castle’ words and pictures now coming into play

Several readers have commented or emailed me on the timeliness of the word from Liz Evans in her Call to pray for our nation and establish God’s rule.

It is undated and thereby avoids attribution of dating or thinking its ‘dated’, or it’s gone stale. After all, the Lord looks over His word to ensure it achieves its purpose and thus doesn’t return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). This word brought by Liz was received several years ago, but we’ll connect the ‘prophetic dots’ or ‘jigsaw pieces’ and examine them as being evidence from the Lord as to that word being timely for 2018.

Bringing prophetic pieces together

Many regulars will be familiar with my use of godly coincidences as a tool in receiving, checking and testing prophetic words and visions. The scriptural warrant for doing so is quite clear but new readers wishing to investigate further are directed to ‘The Protocol of Prophecies’ in An Introduction to Prophecy.

‘BRIDGE o’er POND’ – ALABAMA

At about five past five last Sunday afternoon I found myself nodding in agreement with pastor John Kilpatrick at Church of His Presence saying the Lord has been giving him prophetic words for each new year…but it was the actual date that made me nod:

“It started in 2009 when the Lord first gave me a prophetic word. We waited on the Lord for the New Year and when He left I just got a download…” (listen from 1:03:00 here)

I was pleased to get a confirmation from a pastor that had been the start of a prophetic process for him too. Yet for me it had been a ‘need’ to write on the prophetic. Moreover, I’d been unconscious to a specific thread that had been sewn throughout the years until recently, when another sudden shower of serendipity surrounded me with ‘jigsaw pieces’ – just like snowflakes lying around my feet!

This time, it gave me grounds to get out my old files from 2009-10.  And this wasn’t the first time buttons had been pressed to open up and relive my visual memory.

The first such ‘re-opening’ had come after debating an issue at Prophecy Today in mid-December. A confirmatory word brought by Brett Dewey had plugged so powerfully into one of mine in 2011 when I’d had a very vivid dream relating to Bill Johnson’s prophecy on that 3rd September being a turning point for the Kingdom of God in the UK. Brett’s dream in December 2017 showed that what ‘our’ dreams cover is now at the next stage of active unveiling – God-incidents Validate Three Prophetic Visions refers.

[Moreover, Brett’s earlier vision of a beach and wall has strong similarities to details in a personal prophecy given to me by Bath’s team in 2005 when we met Liz.]

‘BRIDGE o’er POND’ – ARIZONA

The second ‘re-opening’ of my visual memory came last week from Tony Puccio after I’d joked in his second England Ablaze about his ‘spiritual observatory’ in Tucson, Arizona. On Wednesday 3rd he kindly sent me a file with covering note simply saying,  ‘Thought this might interest you’ – Wot! – a HUGE understatement!

Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson (RB 4.2008)

In view of a couple of dreams he’d had about an inevitable change of monarch, I’d already put him in touch with a group of intercessors, who’d kindly supplied some historical prophecies on the royal family. It included a transcript of Liz Evan’s Word for UK.

I replied to Tony: ‘Re your…attachment that MIGHT interest me Tony!! It MOST certainly does, as explained below – I’m extremely grateful you’ve kept me in the loop on this…as its re-connecting me and taking me ‘full circle’…

‘…we often went to Bath City Church as it’s very special to us since 2002 (we married 6 months later) and it’s where we connected into the prophetic and met Revd Dr Sharon Stone and Liz Evans very soon afterwards.  Liz’s website is endorsed by a close friend of ours.’

I copied Liz into that reply and, after greeting her, wrote, ‘Tony’s attachment of the ‘Call’ you brought and its reference to castles immediately opened up my visual memory to the time several years ago I told you of the angels on battlements I saw close by Bath City Church.  Think I may also have emailed you on what I’d sensed of Windsor Castle being a connection between heaven and earth and then sharing that with Sharon six years ago next month!  (I didn’t know she’d soon move there)

‘Only last weekend did we watch episode 5 of The Crown (on Netflix) and noted its very close attention to detail of the ‘secret ceremony’ of Her Majesty being anointed during her Coronation, and to which your article refers. (My Her Majesty’s 90th birthday also refers.)’

BATTLEMENTS o’er BATH

I find in my personal prophecies papers that I’d emailed Liz on 18 March 2010, after our attending BCC’s Partner’s Day and wanting to discuss that weekend: ‘Yesterday was most encouraging and exciting, especially in what you said about castles and Magna Carta for I believe it may be relevant to some things that popped up over the last year… it develops upon the vision that Sharon weighed at her school [in Bath] a few years ago.’

There wasn’t time at the next weekend school to discuss, so I followed up with the details of what I’d seen in 2009, as may be read in this scanned email:

Liz replied, “Fantastic, definitely worth weighing” but I don’t recall seeing a paper version of what she’d shared. However, someone had transcribed it from her ‘Prophecy in the UK’ session at 2010 Release Conference in Bristol with Bill Johnson (him again!) and Mark Stibbe. A copy of that came from Tony, but Liz kindly sent me her version for publication (see previous post).

INVISIBLE JIGSAW PIECES

After last Thursday’s frenetic to-and-fro of the above messages the following ‘God-incidental’ input soon burst upon the scene:

  1. I realised 7 years have elapsed since this Call was made at Release 2010.
  2. That evening’s meeting with our curate of Bramshott & Liphook Church discussed her pre-Alpha spirituality course. She will be teaching on ‘interior castles’ (per Carmelite St Teresa of Avilla)!!
  3. Thus, I told her of my day’s activity and past connection with ‘castles’ and she reminded me of her Bath connections: especially Paul Skelton’s H.O.T.S. and ministry in India. (Soon after launching this blog I helped Paul by publicising the issues HOTS Bath had with Advertising Standards Agency in 2012)
  4. Our vicar Valentine Inglis-Jones was previously curator at Holy Trinity, Coombe Down Bath, and will be with out there with Paul later this month!

So Sunday’s passing remark by pastor John in Daphne, Alabama, makes yet one more confirmatory ‘God-incidence’. On top of all that is what I’d sensed about Windsor Castle in 2011 and shared with Sharon in February 2012.

HEAVEN TOUCHING EARTH

In that month, at a conference in Torquay, I mentioned to Sharon that Nina and I had visited Windsor the previous year and I’d sensed a spiritual atmosphere there. As we spoke, an image of its Castle’s famous round tower came into mind. This was followed by the idea its crenellated battlements look like the teeth of a giant cogwheel, and this could fit into some sort of invisible socket where earth could get plugged into heaven!

It’s a little hard to explain but then the thought dropped into mind that such engagement would enable the heavenly kingdom to ‘wind up’ our earthly kingdom – or ‘queen-dom’ – for the Lord’s purposes (eg. revival) – rather like putting a key into and winding up a clockwork toy. [Paws 4 Thought – a Special Town in the Thames Valley refers.]

There’s other observations I could make but for now let’s note Liz’s emphasis is reiterated by Suzanne Payne editor of UK Prophetic Words (emphasis added),

“Richard…it is a key time for this word!

Now, it is particularly significant that 8 years have passed since Liz published the full word and call to Christians to defend our Nation and establish God’s rule. In biblical symbolism 8 represents a new beginning, a new order or creation. In the account of creation God created the earth and heavens in 6 days and rested from that labour on the 7th. So the whole creation as a universal, harmonious corporate entity had its first ‘working day’ on the 8th day! (See next post for unexpected confirmation on ‘8’!)

Also, I’d had the distinct impression of 2018 being a year of going up a level, like in spiraling up after having gone around full circle ie as in a 7-year cycle. Personally, I wanted to move into the more restful 7th year of this blog’s cycle (as in my New Year thanks) yet have a strong sense of moving into a new level – and most astonished to get an award!

A most intriguing closing thought: I’d considered re-publishing my first New Year’s blog  Points to Ponder 2011-12 on its 6th anniversary. I didn’t do so yet its subject of Biblical cycles is repeated a couple of paragraphs back – and I sure didn’t plan it that way!

Many thanks to all those who have kindly shared Liz’s call to pray for Britain.

A Prophetic Word and Call to Pray for our Nation

An unusual turn of circumstances that can only be of the Lord have drawn the following document to my attention. I invite readers’ prayerful weighing of and intercession based upon this valuable word of prophetic encouragement and direction from Liz Evans. (An account of those ‘God-incidents’ will follow.)

I’m grateful for her kind permission to publish and, as Liz writes, “The more prayer the better”. I’ve copied/pasted it direct from the email to retain her emphases (hence the Times Roman – depending on your browser! – rather than usual sans-serif typeface and minimal editing).:

Liz Evans’ Word for UK – Call for Christians to pray for the Nation 

 

Sharon Stone was chatting to Liz in the green-room at a conference and asked her, “I believe God has given you a high-level Word for the UK about castles?” Liz asked her how she knew, and Sharon replied that God had told her about it.

 

Liz went on to tell Sharon what God had been showing her:

“God is doing a work of restoration in His church at the moment. He is restoring the church to Himself in intimacy and commitment, He is restoring the church to one another in unity, and He is restoring authority to the church. 

What is authority? Authority is the spiritual right and power to enforce His Kingdom rule to the world and in our lives.

 

God gave me a picture. In this picture I was having balls thrown at my head and I was being knocked over. And then quickly the picture changed. I was learning to duck and dive, and the enemy was throwing balls at me, but none of them were hitting me because I was getting wiser. But then God showed me the 3rd picture. And in the 3rd picture I had the ball. And it was now you run. That’s where the church is in this season. This is key for where we are as a nation. Some of you have been downtrodden and things have come against you in your lives but you’ve got more mature, you’ve learned how to walk in spite of those things and in spite of the things that have been happening in our nation. But you see in this season God is giving us the ball, and He’s expecting us to do something with the authority that He is giving us.

 

Where are we as a nation, and what does He want us to do with that authority? I want to tell you a story of our nation. In the 11th century, 1066, the Normans came over and they conquered the country and they put the whole of the country under King William – William the conqueror. And in order to establish and perpetuate their rule, they embarked on a series of castle building. Please note that at this point they already had authority in the land. It was theirs. But they built these castles to do certain things. They were a place of presence in the area, they were visible, so they made a statement. And they proclaimed the rule of the King and defended the land that had been given to them.  They were places of watch, seeing what the enemy was doing, seeing what was happening; and they sorted it out, they brought safety and they enforced his rule. They enforced the rule of the kingdom.

 A place of presence. A place to bring rule and order, and enforce the rule of the King, that’s justice in the land. And a place of watch, a place of prayer. What does that sound like to you? That is our remit as the church of Christ. To be the castles in the nation. This is the function of the church. You might say well that’s a nice parallel Liz, it kind of works, but why is that pertinent to the Word for the UK at the moment, at this Kairos time in our nation? Because you know that a Kairos time is ‘now’ [emphasis RB]. It’s a window of time. It’s not a Chronos time, which is on-going.

We’re at a key time. It passes. And I need to tell you that, while I’m being calm and considered because I want to communicate this to you, inside me there is a cry and I want to be on my knees before God saying ‘O God, let us not miss this time as your people because it will not come again’. And the issue of timing is key. You know, there are many prophetic people here. Timing and application are what makes a prophecy, after interpretation, effective. We don’t just want to get the revelation; we want to bring forth the fruit that God intended.

 

Now the function of a castle took on a particular importance at a certain time in the nation. And this is where we are. When King William was getting older, castle building became a key strategy because when a monarch dies, it’s a key time, it’s ripe, for the rule of the land, of the occupying force, to be challenged. It’s a vulnerable time. It needs covering. So their castle building increased to be a presence and impose rule. You know what’s coming. Since receiving this Word I’ve been hearing from God and then prophetic voices around the kingdom and the world, in totally different streams of the church, talking about the Queen. And I’ve realised that they’re picking up on it too. One of the prophets I was talking to at lunchtime, one of the speakers in the speakers’ lounge said; not knowing what I was going to bring or even that I was going to bring this this afternoon;

Hey Liz I had a vision, I had a vision that the Queen was lying in state, she’d died, and then this man came and stood next to me and he said this: “The mantle of authority and peace that the Queen has carried since the moment she had hands laid on her as Queen, lifted when she stopped breathing.” And things are about to change. This same person had friends who lost a child. And the Queen wrote to them, and she said can I meet you in a hotel? And this isn’t a vision, this is true. And she went to them and she wept with them and she knelt with them and she prayed. And they said the presence of God that came while the Queen was praying with them was immense. You see, she’s carrying something. A mantle of authority, and peace.

 

Do you remember our 3 balls picture? I have to tell you that the authority ball is about to be passed. And this is a Kairos time in our nation. It’s a time when the rule of the occupying force of the land will be challenged. So our castle building needs to increase, to be a presence, and impose the rule of the Kingdom. And that has great benefits to us. The places of authority were also places of provision. When we bring order and peace to our nation and into our nation from heaven we benefit. Our children and our loved ones prosper. But I have to tell you that we have a window of time, a Kairos, to pray.

 

And He is restoring the authority to the church. There’s a unity about this prayer movement. As we come together and pray for our nation at this time. You see the time of the intercessors being isolated is being drawn to a close. They’re being drawn into the castle to bring power and to enhance rule. Because He is restoring the church to one another.

 

And God kept speaking to me about what was happening historically. It’s interesting to me that just after the Normans took over, when the castles were being raised up, the Magna Carta was written. When God was talking to me about this, this fell out of the drawer. And it happens to be a piece of the Magna Carta. And it says this, ‘The English church shall be free, with her rights and liberties unchanged’. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed but recently the freedoms of the church, especially around who they employ, what they believe and what they say, have been in question. Even in minute detail in believers lives. Whether you can wear a cross to work. The rights and liberties of the church were set in place in this nation. But, they need a watch.

And in the Magna Carta I noticed another sentence. ‘No free man shall be imprisoned without a proper trial by jury.’ What’s that? Justice. And that one has very real challenges in a time of terrorism and immigration. And our government needs wisdom. 

What were the castles? A place of watch. And a place of rule, a place where we pray for these things.

 

And then I had a dream, and it terrified me. It’s a dream which tells of a time yet to come. And in the dream I found myself standing on a pavement and there were people close, and then a black car came by. And there was a coffin in the car, and the car was covered in flowers. And I realised this dream looked forward to a time when the Queen’s rule was passing. In the dream it had happened, and we didn’t pray. I was terrified. I have to tell you that the authority ball will be passed. And God is raising up castles all over the land to defend the country. To establish His presence, His rule, and bring order in His Kingdom, to earth.

 

And there will be princes in this nation, men and women that God is raising up into a place of authority in government, in industry, government, education and in the church to take a place with God, Israel. He’s putting a name upon you of rule for this nation. Mordecai said to Esther ‘for such a time as this’. And there’s also a company of believers who are going to take their places on the walls behind those men, and pick up the watch for our nation. Esther prayed and fasted when she was in trouble. The Jews prayed and fasted. And this is what it says in Esther 8 v 11. The Kings granted to the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves. Of course I’m not talking about people. We battle not against people. We battle against principalities and powers of this dark age. 

 

The castles are a place of presence. What does it say in the Psalms? ‘God is present in the company of the righteous’. And you’ve been raised for such a time as this my friends. The ball will be passed. But we have a window.

 

And I have to tell you that application of Words is vital and if the soil doesn’t receive and respond to this Word there will be no fruit. And I’m not going to tell you who they are but the prophet at lunchtime told me what the fruit would be if we don’t pick up this Word and fight with it. But I’m looking here for good soil. Soil that produces a crop. 30% 60% or even 100%. Because our nation depends on it. Let me tell you, are we going to have 30% of our nation left to us, 60% of our nation left to us, or 100%? 

And this is a ‘masa’ Word; it’s an intercession Word. The Bible talks about the watchman of Israel as dogs that didn’t bark, well the watchman of the church are barking. All over this nation. And we’re beginning to hear it. And we need the watch and the prayer to come forth in response to that. Because we will never have such a strong position in this nation again if we don’t. This is vital. We’ve got to hold the land that we’ve been given. Because it’s our watch. So who’s going to carry that ball in prayer? So that the authority ball is passed well and it’s not dropped? If you’re a leader, we’re going to commission you that you go and call people together for prayer.

 

And He also told me that we were to prayer-walk and proclaim and that the authority of God comes where our feet tread. And I want you to understand your authority because He is the King and we are bringing the declaration that He is the King of all the earth. And  that He is the King of the nation for evermore. There will be no break in His Kingship. He has given it to us and we will hold it. The time of the priests of God to rule is arising because His Kingdom is coming. It’s time for the sons. And it’s time to anoint the priests. Leaders who will take up the watch of God. The Bible says that creation is longing for the sons of God to be revealed.”

Vision of eagle – role of ‘air supremacy’ in the harvest of souls

Eagle-eyed by John Mark Long: courtesy http://www.propheticartists.com

A ‘God-incidence’ struck last Thursday in connection with Dr Sharon Stone’s November mentoring day, and with what two attendees of that meeting were writing about on the same day last week > the necessity of gaining ‘air supremacy’!

Having arrived from Shaftesbury with a couple of friends on this month’s first Saturday, Simon Baddeley and I greeted one other in Caffe Nero over coffees bought en-route to  the meeting. There, they sat in the row behind me and he and I took extra special note of what Sharon’s associate was teaching on how to bring God’s Kingdom into secular society. We never spoke about it. And neither of us would have prophesied, let alone guessed, that we’d both write about a special aspect of it on the very same day!!

So on the 9th I blogged about Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan, referred to America’s involvement and closed by citing how a prophet’s example of changing the spiritual atmosphere to release the Kingdom of God may affect international diplomacy. (See ‘Kingdom Presence & Prophecy’ section in Paws 4 Thought: Kingdom-related Events Since Lightning Strike on Mecca’s Grand Mosque.)  After telling how personal envoys of Donald Trump received prophetic words the speaker likened intercessory prayer and prophecy to the military strategy of ‘air supremacy’.

On the 9th Simon wrote as follows under this published heading:

‘AS YOU GAIN AIR SUPREMACY YOU WILL SEE THE HARVEST YOU HAVE LONGED FOR’

‘I have had this word for a couple of weeks but I heard (the speaker) use the same phrase that I’d heard the Lord say, which has prompted me to release the word.:

27 October 2017:
‘I heard the sound of wings beating; they are huge wings and I can feel the strength that is being exerted as they are causing a large eagle to take off from the ground. As it rose up I saw that there were scars on its ankles where it had been shackled.

‘I heard the Lord saying, “I am freeing my prophetic voices” and then heard him say,

“As you gain air supremacy you will see the harvest that you have longed for, for as you win the battle in the air you will win the battle on the ground. You have been wondering why the harvest hasn’t come in but it has been because you have not won the battle in the air; when this battle is won you will see harvest you long for.”

Simon Baddeley, 9th November 2017

Simon is on the leadership team at Father’s House Shaftesbury and associated with Dr Sharon Stone at Christian International Europe, Windsor, and a few years ago gave me an accurate prophetic word.

The symbolism of the eagle is especially significant in relation to prophecy. It featured prominently in my first encounter with it in church circles, as told in Why Write/blog? and as my cyber-friend and blogger Tony Puccio in Tucson, Arizona, can attest too. Hence, a copy of the above picture by John Mark Long is hanging in our lounge.
