Charlie Shamp prophecies on the UK’s Awakening – #2

THE KAIROS MOMENT IS MOVING INTO THIS NATION. THE UK & AMERICA ARE INTERLOCKED TOGETHER FOR AN AWAKENING

Continuing from #1. Note these posts cannot cover the whole session of the ‘Maximum’ gathering, so do watch the archive video to receive Charlie’s inspirational teaching in its entirety. At 1hr 51min into the evening of 19th October he says:

“As I was flying in, I was coming in, I was flying over the city of London; 1 Corinthians 16:9 came to me, where Paul said, ‘I have a great and effectual door, but there are many enemies’.  The Lord said, ‘See there’s the paradox, the comparison. What are you going to stare at, what are you going to look at?  Are you going to look at the enemies, Or are you going to look at the effectual, fervent door that I’ve given to you?  Are you going to look at the massive door of opportunity that I’ve given to you to step into what I am doing in this season?’

“Sometimes we’re waiting for this thing to come, when God says, ‘No don’t wait, just jump in now.’ We want to test the waters sometimes to make sure that they’re right. But God says stop testing the water and get fully into what I am doing. We look at all the circumstance and the situations that we’re facing around us, and we say, ‘Well, when the timing is right, when it’s just the perfect time.’  The Lord says says, ‘No, no, no, right now, the Kairos moment is moving into this nation, and the positioning of the supernatural and the positioning of the Spirit is what we need to step into right now; when the Kingdom of God begins to just move in such power that it cannot be contained within the four walls of the church – hallelujah! – that the door that is open to us is open so wide, that we can bring others with us…..”

“…..I am telling you, THE UK AND AMERICA ARE INTERLOCKED TOGETHER FOR AN AWAKENING. They’re interlocked together for an awakening. THE LION IS GOING TO ROAR SO THE EAGLE CAN FLY! The fire is going to jump oceans, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. The fire is going to jump oceans back and forth. The fire is going to jump back and forth.

“We’re on the prophetic timetable of heaven.

“There is a pattern within the context of scripture, that when God is going to move, He positions a people in an upper room to receive what heaven has, so that the effectual door can be opened, and they will move through the door in power, despite the adversaries; despite those that would come against; despite those things which are attempting to stop the move of the Spirit. The Lord will position a people, and He will position them to receive the outpouring of his glory and power, in order so that the outpouring that takes place within them, they will in turn begin to carry it out…..”

“…..I am telling you, there is a separation coming that is going to distinguish those that carry true authentic Holy Ghost power, and those that are just religiously standing and trying to persuade people to stay within the boxes and confinements of religion. The future does not belong to religion; it belongs to Holy Ghost-filled people, and the church and the body of Christ.

“The church is going to shine brighter and brighter in this hour, and religion is going to fade. Because the fire and the power and the glory of God is going to begin to come upon his people, as they begin to come into unity, and they begin to tarry in that place.”

Charlie Shamp prophecies on the UK’s Awakening – #1

Thank you to the Lord and to Carolyn Stewart for painstakingly transcribing most of Charlie’s delivery upon returning to Capstone Church, Ilford, Essex, on 19th October.  Watch Capstone’s Facebook video (opens in new window), scroll to 1:37:00 mark for the start of Charlie’s greeting and then prophesying as recorded below…

Charlie Shamp

The London Awakening, week 17 day 2 archive (not in new window)

THE LORD IS UNITING THE UK FOR THE FIRE OF HEAVEN TO BREAKOUT

“Many of you know that personally I’ve been contending just for, not even just revival, but for an awakening to hit the UK. You know, revivals usually last three to five years but an awakening will last for an entire generation, up to 50 years!

“And I believe that the Lord is uniting the UK right now – and I don’t just mean through politics, but I mean through the Spirit of God; that the Lord is uniting these islands for the wildfires of heaven to break out; for the Kingdom of God to invade every part of this nation, across every, every part of it; that there won’t be a place where the presence of God is not breaking out, where the power of the Holy Spirit is not evident, where signs and wonders and miracles are not just a part of our everyday life.

“I am telling you right now,  that there is a prophetic momentum that is happening in this nation right now that is unstoppable. There is an acceleration that is happening – and I am already starting to prophesy just underneath this mantle that’s here tonight – but there is an acceleration in the prophetic destiny of this nation. And I’m telling you that no devil in hell, no satanic system, no agenda from the enemy is going to be able to stop what God is going to do. Because the Lord is uniting a body.

“And I’m telling you, the united body is going to walk across this United Kingdom and the power of the Holy Spirit is going to be put on display by men and women of God that are set ablaze – sons and daughters of the Kingdom – moving in demonstration and power of the Spirit that is an unstoppable force – unstoppable force! Hallelujah!”

Charlie then briefly tells a little of what he’s been getting from the Lord during recent travels and returning to Britain since last year – “I recognise that the Lord has a destiny for this nation”. Coming up the steps he felt the overpowering waves of the Presence in the upstairs sanctuary at Capstone church – “You know ,it’s one thing to see a thing prophetically and then to experience it!” – he continues:

THE LORD IS SHIFTING THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE UK

“I was in Perth, Australia, earlier in the year; I believe it was in July.  I was taken to a tower that’s there in the city.  They brought me there to just kind of sight-see, and there’s a tower there in Perth, and there’s these bells that are there, in the city.  And they’re from England – they are actually from St Martin-in-the-Fields [in Trafalgar Square RB]. They were rung during some of the greatest achievements and greatest victories of England.  They are over there and they were transported over to the nation of Australia, in the city of Perth.

“It Is Time”

“And the Lord began speak to me as I went back to my hotel, back to the place where I was staying.  I got caught up in a vision.  And I saw Big Ben and I saw in the spirit the Lord was going to cause a sign and a wonder to come from Big Ben; that it would be a sign, because I’d been walking out this thing that I prophesied last year…and what God was saying, that we were going to have to walk through for a season in the UK, but that there was going to be a great awakening that was going to come.

“And, the Lord told me – in this vision, I was seeing Big Ben – and the Lord told me, he said I’m going to cause a sign and a wonder to come; a sound that’s going to come, and I’m going to silence my enemies.

“And as I was in this encounter, suddenly, like a fog – a fog began to come down.  And a lot of times you think a fog is just something that’s not good.  And the Lord said, ‘It’s the London fog’.  And I said, ‘London fog?’ I said, ‘Oh!’ and He said; ‘It’s the fog of my presence’.

“I said, ‘Lord, what’s that?’ He said: ‘It’s the fire, the oil and the glory, and where the enemy has tried to come in and blind the people, cloud their minds, I am releasing my fog and I’m shifting the atmosphere of the UK; I’m shifting it to the place of my presence, my outpouring, my fire, my oil and my glory, the fog of heaven coming down to release a new sound out of heaven and out of the people of God. Hallelujah! Where signs and wonders will begin to be poured out.’

“I feel this so strongly…And about a month ago I believe, there was a report that came out that said Big Ben was going to be silenced for four years.  And the Lord said: ‘That’s the sign. That’s the shift.  That’s the major shift that I am doing, to change the direction of the nation’. ”

Lana Vawser: our God is much stronger than the battle

Received this morning (25th) from Australia this dream and associated word strikes a personal chord as well as harmonising with what prophets are hearing across Britain.:

Last night I had a dream and this morning I felt the Lord tell me to share the declaration of this dream as a prophetic word for many who have faced incredible battles in this season and currently facing huge battles.

“GOD IS GOING TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONGER THAN THE BATTLE”

I saw the intensity of the battle that many have faced and are facing, but the decree of the Lord right now is that He is going to show Himself stronger than the battle.

There will be incredible recompense. There will be more fruit than you have ever seen. There will be greater increase than you have dreamed. There will be greater demonstration of the power and creativity of God in your life. There will be restoration of what was taken, what was killed and stolen, the Lord is restoring by His resurrection power.

You will be even more convicted and burning with the revelation of the power of God and how great, how big, how strong, how mighty your God is. He is working for you and NOTHING can stand against you as you stand with Him and hold His hand. The enemy is going to run scared because of the demonstration of the power of God that is about to manifest in and through your life.

The enemy has stolen many of your voices, he has stolen many of your dreams but here comes the Lord in power, a deep encounter with His heart that will RESTORE your voice, RESTORE your sound, RESTORE your song, and you will carry and release greater revelation than you have in previous seasons.

HIS WORD IS LIKE FIRE

Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! He is about to step in and show Himself strong. It’s not a long way off, the Lord is upon you, the Lord is about to move. He is about to ignite in a whole new way and the way He shows Himself strong to you with place a fire, His fire in your bones so strongly, so powerfully, the fire of conviction of the truth of His Word that will leave you forever changed.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. ” (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Stand up and watch! Stand up and watch! God is about to display His strength.

“Display your strength, God, and we’ll be strong! For your miracles have made us who we are. Lord, do it again, and parade from your temple your mighty power.” (Psalm 68:28-29)

Friends, He is about to do it again! He is about to break through for you! He is about to move for you! He is about to show His faithfulness again. He is about to blow you away with what He is going to do. The enemy thought he had “won” a battle in your life, but that’s a lie. The enemy is defeated, you are victorious in Jesus and you are about to see the triumph of God unravelled before you YET AGAIN in the demonstration of His power and strength.

The WAY that the Lord is going to show Himself strong is going to FAR OUTWEIGH the battle you have faced.

I saw the Lord coming as a mighty warrior and as He moved in power, I saw wombs in the natural and in the spirit FULL of fruitfulness. Whatever has attempted to HINDER the birthing, the Lord is coming in power and bringing a TURNING!

The strength and power of God is turning the SOUR TO SWEET!

I declare over you today..

THE STRENGTH OF GOD RELEASED INTO AND THROUGH YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO INGITE AND RELEASE A LEVEL OF FRUITFULNESS THAT WILL FAR OUTWEIGH THE BATTLE AND PATHWAYS OF WOUNDINGS YOU HAVE FACED….

‘Wildfire’ baptism

Thank to UK Prophetic Words for this, reminding me of a word given to me during a visit to Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship – so what’s the Lord telling us through this?

THE ANGEL OF WILDFIRE BAPTISM

We had Duncan & Kate Smith, and Carol Arnott from Catch the Fire Ministries at our local Church with us for the weekend and on Saturday morning I had the following experience. I saw (in the physical) a man in the room, stood for around an hour with his eyes closed but gazing up in the direction of Heaven. I love to know what is going on in the Spirit and so I asked God if He would show me what was going on.

Immediately I got the sense of a MASSIVE Angel, maybe 15ft high standing directly before him with its arms out, surrounding him, protecting him and shielding him from everything going on around him in the room. In the very centre of the Angel’s arms was a Big Shower which was giving this man a 5-fold Baptism of Water, Spirit, Fire, Light and Glory. The man was being washed clean of everything that ever afflicted him and revived to be sent out into the World for God’s purposes.

I began drawing this and then Carol Arnott went up and began speaking about the Angel of Wildfire Baptism she has seen in her house. I believe this was the Angel I was seeing there in the room with us!

Hebraic Year 5778 – Year of the Open Door

Further to Dave Hood’s reference to ‘open door’ in his For such a time as this I thank Chris Bennett and UK Prophetic Words for this on the new Hebraic year:

5778 – YEAR OF THE OPEN DOOR!

If the coming year is the year of the open door for Israel, then it is surely the year of the open door for Christians too. I read relatively little prophecy from others, that I may know that anything I speak prophetically is from God rather than something already implanted in my mind by another’s prophecy. So this, like anything else I write, is what I believe I am hearing from God.

We’ve heard a lot about open doors lately. I’ve written about it and so have others. I/we’ve had ‘open doors’ prophesied over us three times recently and, indeed, new doors have been cracking open before us. So when I read the other day that the Jewish new year, 5778, is the Year of the Open Door, I sat up and paid attention.

“Have I not opened every door necessary to bring you thus far?” says the Lord. “And will I not open every door necessary to ensure your path in the future?”

I feel the Lord saying that He is clearing a way for revival, opening doors of opportunity, preparing hearts both for the work and for salvation. He is changing mindsets from doubt to expectancy, and He is fulfilling the expectant heart by His Spirit.

Doors are opening for all His children. Some will be the answer to prayer, but some will be totally unexpected opportunities for bringing even the most lost of people with the hardest of hearts to the throne of grace.

Yet the most important doors the Lord is opening are the doors to revival. In the UK, this has already started to happen. In America, the course that President Trump is taking is opening many, many doors to revival. Indeed small spiritual fires are already burning in places, and I feel that, under the example shown by Mr Trump, many more will start until America is ablaze with revival.

“PRAY!” says the Lord, “PRAY for REVIVAL, PRAY for YOUR LEADERS, PRAY for YOUR CHURCH, PRAY for YOUR CITIES, PRAY for YOUR FAMILIES.

“LET YOUR PRAYERS RISE AS A SWEET AROMA BEFORE ME”, says God, “and let my enemies be scattered as I arise and bring MY SPIRIT with REVIVAL to both the UK and AMERICA and from there to THE WORLD.

“This is the season. This is the year. Now is the time to TEAR DOWN those things that hold you back. Now is the time for HARVEST. Now is the time for my spirit to show the world that I am God, that I am the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. That is my name and I will be heard throughout your land!

I have OPENED THE DOOR, I am coming, and I am bringing REVIVAL with me!” says the Lord!

Amen.

Fresh fire to fall on the Church

Courtesy of Iris Global Ministries, Mozambique.

Thank you to the Lord and Yinka Oyekan for this published by UK Prophetic Words:

VISION OF FRESH FIRE COMING TO THE CHURCH

This morning Father whispered in my ear,

“If believers want to stand before kings on earth they must learn to kneel before the Lamb of Heaven.

“My desire is that everyone should get a chance to kneel before Me. So, tell My sons and daughters to ‘be strong, deny the self and proclaim the good news’. They killed My son because of it and those who love Me share in His sufferings.”

My mind turned to the images of the preceding night where he showed me a fire he was sending into his church. A glorious fire pointing to divine majesty, and our absolute dependence on him alone for true light. An envisioning fire, fuelling the passions and hearts of those who have truly seen him, for how can you serve anything else once you have been illuminated by him? A holy fire, demanding repentant hearts. An insistent fire, demanding obedience to The Father; a hungry fire, feeding our devotion.

Misty Edwards ‘God is a Flame’ (tap for song in new tab)

In Europe, I saw countless churches coming alive with fresh evangelistic zeal and Germany ablaze with a fresh fire. I saw Sweden, Switzerland, and some other countries of Europe filled with it, like a mighty wave, then following south, and back into Africa and the Middle East.

In the UK I saw that it will release a wave of new songs and hope. In the Southwest it will be a soothing fire bringing a wave of unity and healing into communities and a fresh sense of identity. In the East I saw thousands bending the knee to Christ. And I saw London, Edinburgh and Cardiff glowing with it.

Father’s love is fuelling a fresh wave of the Spirit. For the Lord will build his church and no pressure from the forces of darkness will prevail against it.

Holy Fire coming in two phases

The following prophetic words brought by Chris Bennett add to the few posted on this blog of many in the public domain about a cleansing fire from the Lord, especially re Capstone Church. In reiterating the ‘wheat and tares’ parable it reinforces a vital theme I’ve written about for the past eight years that’s now coming ‘to the boil’!

Chris posted this on Facebook the same day as the astronomical alignment resembling the ‘great sign’ of Rev 12:1. However, he’d surmised that the event isn’t related to the scripture because preceding parts of that book have yet to be fulfilled (eg. chapter 11’s two witnesses). Also, bear in mind pastor John Kilpatrick had a prompting that event may be a breakthrough for other ‘signs’.

Chris writes:

‘This follows my recent word about burning up the dross.

‘A long time ago, in 1904, Holy Spirit fire swept through the UK starting in Loughor, South Wales. It was led by one Evan Roberts, and that fire spread throughout the world including a house on Azusa Street, Los Angeles, under the leadership of William J Seymour. Millions came to salvation through these revivals and the off-shoots all around the world, and everyone is now waiting for the same sort of thing happening today.

‘The Lord will bring fire once again to His church and to the world. We know this much already because it’s been prophesied for decades if not centuries. The ‘signs of the times’ that Jesus and later Paul spoke about are almost universally accepted as being upon us. Earthquakes, floods, fires, storms – we’re just missing that few moments of stillness when the ‘still small voice’ of the Lord will be heard.

‘Actually, that still small voice IS being heard! I hear Him say,

“I am sending My fire once more. I am sending My fire in TWO PHASES!” (Note this is not to be confused with the three waves I wrote about recently.) “These two phases are first on the church, and second on the world. My Word speaks about judgement beginning in the church. The fire I am sending is NOT JUDGEMENT, rather it is the clean-up, the separation of wheat and tares. This will cause the church to DIVIDE, to split, because of the GREAT FALLING AWAY spoken of in My Word!” (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

“The FIRST PHASE of this Holy Spirit Fire will be upon the Church.” The Lord continued. “The SECOND PHASE will be upon the world and will come as A WORLD WIDE REVIVAL. So much has been prophesied about this. Many are seeking more of that which came in past years – like in Wales and in Azusa Street, but have I not said, ‘do not look back’. Look what became of Lots wife! Have I not said in My Word, ‘Behold I am doing a new thing, do you not see it?’ – (Isaiah 43:19)

“For Behold”, says the Lord, “I will do a new thing again when I send My Holy Spirit Fire upon you once more. This coming FIRE OF GOD will mark My people for ever and will separate them. I have called My people to be separate from the world – IN the world but not OF the world. As with Paul’s jailer and Cornelius, whole families, whole clans and tribes, will be swept into My Kingdom because of the actions or healing of one key person. THIS COMING REVIVAL WILL BE KNOWN AND REFERRED TO AS THE ‘FIRE REVIVAL’, where hundreds, even thousands at a time will come running to the Mercy Seat at stadium events like those visualised by My Servant Paul Cain.“

“LISTEN TO ME! This coming revival WILL BE LIKE NO OTHER BEFORE IT.!” says the Lord of Hosts. AMEN?’

Selah! Let be so Lord!

London awakening’s torch taken into the nation

Some recent news courtesy of Michael Marcel at UK Awakening:

‘I am happy to say that the move of God that began at Capstone, Ilford, in June is beginning to gain traction. There are a few bold people who have received at Capstone and have recognised what God is doing and are starting ‘Revival’ meetings.

– Sunday 22nd October and Sunday 29th October at 7pm, Good News Church, Senior Citizens Hall, Duke Street, Macclesfield SK11 6UR.  ‘We do think that this is a genuine move of God that could develop into something big.’

– Saturday 14th at 7.00pm, Living Waters Four Square Church, The Scout Hut,387 Kenton Road,Kenton HA3 0YG.

– Every Wednesday and Friday, Bethel Church, 11 Delaware Street, Preston, PR1 5XT

‘A good friend of mine has ministered to three different streams in three days and “The power of the Holy Spirit fell in all settings; people weeping and shaking under the power of God”. He has seen this abroad a lot, but this is the first time he has seen it in the UK, in such a consistent way.

‘God has great plans for our nation, but He cannot do it without our help. The above meetings are a start, but we need hundreds of fires to break out here.’

An Anglican ‘branch’ to bring revival

Thank you to Suzanne Payne for reminding me in her comment on the previous post  (on pruning dead-wood in Anglicanism) about a word brought by Sarah Rowlinson on our nation’s spiritual history and legacy.

In current consideration of the state of the Church of England this post will reiterate only the relevant portion of Word for the UK 2017. (To read in full tap/click that link.) Sarah opens that document,

‘I saw the Lord speak to the land of the UK, and I heard Him say, “There is still yet historical spiritual legacy in the land, that I am going to honour”.  And I saw two key areas. And this was on our Queen, Elizabeth. And it was on the Church of England. And the Lord said, “Because of prayers that have been prayed, because of promises and oaths taken, that were fulfilled, because of decisions that were made before Me, there’s a deposit of favour in the land still that I’m going to honour.”

She brings encouragement on how to pray for Queen Elizabeth and continues:

‘And then secondly, I saw a branch of revival coming through a branch of the Church of England. Not the whole thing, there’s a branch of it. And it’s coming strong, and it’s coming steady, and it will build significantly this year. And I saw that in some of the major cities in our country, Cathedrals would be filled once again. And the old church buildings will be filled with the sound of worship.

‘And these places will be empowered with acts of service again that this church denomination was once renowned for. There’s an activation in this stream, there’s a mobilization in this stream. And I felt like these churches would come into the heart of community activities once again, they would come into even places of government and influence for the good of the whole communities in which they serve.

‘And I felt like the Lord was saying to the rest of the brothers and sisters around these communities to support what the spirit of God is doing through these churches, put down some of your theological barriers and some of your ‘oh they’re just the religious lot, we don’t really deal with them’, that type of thing, put that down and support and serve because it was Him, and He was mobilizing a sense of revival through this stream.

‘Wisdom and Counsel will be found in these churches for many. I saw many going, like they used to, and say: “I have questions, I don’t understand, my marriage is falling apart, my business is falling down the tubes, I’m going to go and find the vicar.” And that coming back into our land, and that it was a healthy thing.

‘So, I’m prophesying that bit that I’ve seen, not because God’s not going to move dramatically , dynamically  into all the other church streams across the nation, that’s just the bit that I see, and it’s not a stream that I’m a part of.

‘You know how you would see a map, and then you would see the hotspots on a map? That’s how I saw some of these places. And I saw some within nearly all the major cities: Manchester, London, Liverpool, all the big strategic cities that these branches are coming out from. But I also saw, all along the South East coast there was just lots and lots of hotspots that were being planted out from these streams. And God was putting a spiritual guard on that Western coast strategically…’

Footnotes:
  • Reference to ‘hotspots’ reminds me of what Lydia Stanley Marrow’s had seen in July and brought a word on how and where Holy Spirit will be moving in Britain
  • The location of that ‘spiritual guard’ is particularly interesting in view of the necessity for Therasa May to include the conservative Christian Democratic Unionist Party of Ulster in her parliamentary majority. Also, that intercessor and seer Veronika West lives on the western isle of the British Isles.

London area awakening: refiner’s fire testimony

I’m honoured and grateful to Paul Marriott for having contacted me direct about his visit to Capstone Church, as told in the first half of the testimonies published by my friend Michael Marcel.  (I noted his confirming my impression of visiting that church as being like Toronto and reference to the burning bush, which featured in my meditations over several weeks.) Paul’s illuminating account of personal discipleship in giving the glory to God is published with his kind permission:

‘I came across your wonderful blog today and it blessed me greatly – thank you…

‘I wrote this testimony below on the 18th August. In the past 10 days my wife, daughter and myself have even been more profoundly affected by what is happening at Capstone and we could probably write several more pages of testimony. The Lord is moving in very deep and remarkable ways in the UK and He is using an extremely humble fellowship at the back-end of nowhere in Ilford, East London, to ignite the London Awakening, which is already having a profound affect across not only across London but also the nations of the UK and beyond into the Nations. I think the key to what is happening is humility – the Lord favours the humble – not so the proud. I hope this encourages you brother.’

MY REFINER’S FIRE TESTIMONY

‘The very top testimony below (ie. previous post) is mine from a week ago. What isn’t stated here is that it was the culmination of a significant period of private prayer where I asked the Lord to lead me through effective repentance of anything that put self above Him. As a result of a discussion with a dear friend whose faith-walk is a yardstick of integrity, I asked the Lord to cleanse me of all hindrances and blockages in me that would prevent me hearing His voice or understanding His word; I asked Him to purify me in His refiner’s fire of all the dross and impurities (the burning bush was not a consuming fire but it represented ‘holy ground’) and finally to make me a holy vessel fit to be poured out for His purposes.

‘On the day I went to Capstone Church Ilford, which I had never heard of before, I’d added a statement in my prayer group, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one could find a church where man completely took his hand off the service and allowed God to run it?” – to which several in that group responded with a resounding “Amen”. It seemed that no sooner had I uttered that and they had responded than the 2 prophecies mentioned below (ie previous) appeared in my facebook feed and the rest of the below became history.

‘Since then my passion for Jesus has grown exponentially, I am totally in love with Him; I have unspeakable love for my wife and family; Amanda and Sarah have been incredibly supportive. I dance like David danced in every time of worship, my love of the lost knows no ends and I am now daily leading people to Jesus or making Him known to them on a journey they are wanting to undertake. Talking of journeys every train and bus trip and high street walk and shop visit is a befriending-for-Jesus-time and even my hospital appointment today resulted in Him being made known to the waiting room in an utterly friendly way and in my praying for various people there to be healed.

‘In 12 days since I first attended Capstone I have been healed of a very painful post-viral knee condition (I laid claim to Isaiah 53:5d – by His wounds (stripes) we are healed); I feel like 26 and not 62; lost 14lbs in weight (1.5 stone over 3 weeks) – largely from “worshipping with all my being” which has now attained a remarkable prophetic edge (who me this previously demure 62-year-old Englishman?) and also within a week have attained an admittedly medically-aided blood-pressure reduction from 173/117 on Mon 7th August to 136/72 which I was told today…is the blood pressure of a healthy 17-year-old! I’ll have that. 1 Corinthians 1:31 says “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord”. Indeed I do and I give all the glory for this transformation to God

‘To my surprise even attempting to share such a testimony has led to numerous negative reactions (to the point where some will attempt to explain each part of the testimony away) but many spirit-filled encouragements too.

‘That however is another story. For now I’ll ‘just’ GIVE GOD THE GLORY.’

Paul Marriott, 18th August 2017

‘That was over 3 weeks ago now and it has not all been plain sailing as the Lord is doing a very deep work in me, showing me the effects of carnal thinking and convicting me of my sin nature and taking me through confession and deep anguish of repentance on my face before Him…a sobering, cleansing and releasing experience. I have discovered that fear of man is a snare that has caused compromise in my life…not pleasant to see where fear leads – but this is a direct as a result of praying and asking Him to make me a clean, pure & holy vessel fit for His purposes. I am learning too the importance of accountability and deeper submission to others (my wife especially!) in their exercise of wisdom & discernment. I have discovered that deep seated insecurities had affected a lot of my thinking and led to people-pleasing above God or family. I have been ‘addicted to doing’ out of guilt feelings rather than a true and deep love for the lost. All that has to go and the Lord is inviting me to take His yoke upon me instead, which, by comparison is light and easy. There is no going back to the religion of compromise – I have discovered that the journey out of bondage is not easy but I sense that the outcome and fruitfulness will be awesome.’

(12th September)

Selah!

UPDATE 21 Oct 2019

On Facebook’s Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival, Paul replies to my comment on his most encouraging personal news as follows:

“… You may recall that I attend Capstone Church whose primary campus is in Ilford. We hosted open meetings 5 nights a week and on Sunday mornings in 2017-18 in what became known as the London Awakening…Since then we have continued to experience the tangible Presence of God in every meeting at Ilford and Southall, while the husband and wife Senior Pastors have poured themselves into the church in multiple ways so that we can help pour out into other churches and nations.  Teaching on the prophetic is the most recent example of their serving the Body (the wife is commissioned as a prophet by HIM and has been conducting the excellent teaching).

An unprecedented wave of God’s glory and fire coming to the UK

Thank you to the Lord, Lisa Arnold and UK Prophetic Words for this word:

A WAVE OF GLORY AND FIRE, NEVER SEEN BEFORE, IS COMING TO THE UK

You have built for yourselves cosy nests, to protect yourself from the world, being hurt and disappointed! But I say to you, it is a new day, a new start, a new season, to take that leap of faith, and surrender your life afresh to me! Put me as your first love, and you will become one with me.

I have heard your cries in the UK, and some of you have humbled yourselves, and are now going about my work. But others are still asleep in their complacency, and think they have right standing with me, because of their position, title or ministry! But I say to you, repent of your ignorance, nakedness and blindness.

There is a wave that is coming that will knock you off your feet, if you are not standing on my rock … Yeshua. A wave of my glory and fire, never seen before in the UK, and a wave of water, that you will need to get right in. You will have to learn to swim, because paddling in the shallow end is no option anymore! You have asked for my fire and my glory, and a wave of my spirit, so I am going to give it to you!

Those that are ready will be radiant, and carry out great exploits for me, and bring in the lost! They have been hidden away for a time such as this! Nobody has seen any potential in the ones that I will use, they’ve just looked at their outward appearance, and thought they looked too worldly, but I look into hearts! My true remnant have been judged and slandered, but they have not loved their lives unto death. They have tasted for themselves my healing power, my fire and my glory. I have healed their wounds, and they are ready for the great waves of glory, fire and water, to just flow into them and empower them. They have learnt to swim in the river of adversity.

They have let me burn the dross off and let me search their hearts. I have freed them from the power of religion and rejection. But it is time for my remnant to burn for me, in pockets throughout the UK, setting others on fire.

But beware you who have put your trust in man and forgotten your first love and not repented. You do not even know me! You won’t even be aware of what is coming to the UK.

But because of my faithful ones, who have cried out to me for this nation, I am coming to you like never before! You need my mantle to carry this anointing, and you need a new wine skin, so I can give you new oil and new wine, and I will pour honey and milk into your garden. Return to your first love whilst there is time, or you will be swept away to your own delusions! My people know it is at the very doors, my holy visitation to the UK. It is imminent, this wave that is coming. Shine my burning ones, like never before!

Prophetic word on manifestation of flames of fire and of the Glory

AWESOME ‘COINCIDENCE’!!  Just in from a walk and checking emails and note this from and courtesy of Chris Bennett and UK Prophetic Words. As I copy/paste and read ‘ramping up…’ it all matches the rhythm of Kenny Peavy and band on my hi-fi urging the Lord to purify them...”My heart is burning for you, my heart is burning for you…I’m hungry, thirsty longing for You…”, and then plead, “Set me on fire with Your fire” …

Tongues of Fire Acts 2-3

PENTECOSTAL FLAMES OF FIRE WILL DESCEND AND THE GLORY WILL MANIFEST VISIBLY

It’s all ramping up! The wave just gets bigger by the moment. There is a build-up of Holy Spirit power and pressure and sometime soon it’s going to blow! I prophesy that it will have a different release point and a different effect and manifestation in each place Holy Spirit decides to let loose. The manifestation will be suited to the recipients – I don’t know how else to put it.

In a quiet church the manifestation will be quiet, while in a loud, bouncy church the manifestation will be more explosive. In both cases I see Pentecostal flames of fire descending upon the people. However, the result will be the same – an explosive growth in both churches with signs and wonders following. So – what will it look like?

The only examples we have are Argentina, Toronto, Pensacola, and later moves. There may even be some quite elderly saints who can go back to the Hebridean Revival of 1949–51, but it has been prophesied time and time again that this coming move will be different from anything seen or recorded previously.

I prophesy the Ruach, the wind of the Spirit, will manifest in meetings. The Ruach shall blow and the Glory shall enter. I prophesy that the Glory Cloud, the Shekinah Glory, will manifest visibly. I prophesy that those in the meetings where these signs are manifest shall, like Moses and others since, shine – their faces shall shine and reflect the Glory of God’s presence. I see people laying in the Glory as ones dead, only to rise again in a while singing and giving praises to the Lord, faces shining brightly from His presence.

The fire will fall and people will experience, many for the first time, the touch of God – that touch that sends electricity racing through your body, that fills you with such faith and power, that gifts us everything we need for our calling, our ministry. For some it will be a quiet peaceful thing; for others it will be like Elijah on the mountain – wind, fire, earthquake, and stillness. No two will necessarily be the same. I prophesy that each of us will meet with the Lord in the Glory – and we’ll never be the same again!

This is the coming season of revival. It is starting already and it is certainly coming to a church near you very soon.

Greater London – An Awakening of Fire

Thank you to Suzanne Payne at UK Prophetic Words for transcribing this powerful word brought on 28 July by Emma Stark of Glasgow Prophetic Centre to Capstone Church in Ilford, Essex, east of London:

THIS REVIVAL WILL BE MARKED IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS ‘THE AWAKENING OF FIRE’

Halfway into a prophetic word for this church (watch video), Emma brings this from the Lord about the next move of the Spirit He is about to release into the earth:

“There were moves that I sent to the earth that were about fathering.

“Then there were moves that I sent to the earth that were about the Spirit and about signs and wonders.

“And there were moves that I sent to the earth that brought a revelation of Jesus.”

But the spirit of the Lord says this:

“I have not yet sent a move into the earth that reflects the fullness of all that I am; Father, Son and Spirit.’

And the Lord says,

“I am about to reflect the full dynamic and the full facets of My nature”, says God.

And the Lord says,

“You have got to be prepared to be uncomfortable, for the Lord says, It is all the greatness of My glory and My magisterial Kingly anointing that is going to visit in the midst.”

And the Lord says,

“This revival will be marked in the history books as ‘The Awakening of Fire’…”

Selah!

Note: Upon walking into the building Emma heard the Spirit of the Lord say Capstone Church is “on the edge of a gigantic whirlwind of the Presence of God…and that they’ve only skimmed the top of the circle of that whirlwind…”!!!

Casting Fire On The Earth

My thanks to Tony over the Pond in Tucson for reminding me of this vision, wherein he describes an angel as very similar to that of Robin J-D’s testimony in his recent Waves of Glory & Mercy About to Drop on Britain (part E refers).

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!

These were Jesus’ words in Luke 12:49

I have had fire dreams and visions before and I have seen a vision today concerning fire. As I was driving the afternoon of 12/14/2015, I saw an angel. The angel was large and standing in the heavens above the earth. This is the best I can do to describe it. The angel had a bowl in his hand and the bowl contained fire. I saw the angel reach into the bowl and as he pulled it out he would fling his hand towards the earth and wherever the angel flung his had, you would see the fire fall in that area and begin to burn. I had a sense while being shown this vision that the angel was standing over the United States.

Prophecy for USA of fiery outpouring and mass deliverance

Thank you Suzanne Payne at UKPW for notifying me of this from Ryan LeStrange, and I’d draw attention to the concluding paragraph – emphasis mine on the Lord’s remark: 

World In Fire by Danilo Rizzuti

PROPHETIC WORD – FIERY OUTPOURING & MASS DELIVERANCE IN AMERICA:

Sometime ago while standing next to a prophet on a platform I was suddenly and swiftly swept up into the spirit. I was taken into stadiums in America and I saw eruptions of uncontrollable fire. The fire of deliverance was hitting in mass! It was not calm or pretty but violent in nature as the purging fires of heaven burned out demon powers. There was an intermingling of fire and glory that brought about mass deliverance. As I asked The Lord about what I saw He told me that there is a dimension of glory that is so heavy it displaces demons!!! People can be set free under the glory.

As I was in this vision I saw the fire of Pentecost knocking multitudes off their feet with upper-room power. There was an extreme outpouring of fire like what fell in Acts chapter two. What I saw was unlike anything I have ever witnessed in large gatherings. It was much more intense and radical.

The Lord told me, “It is coming!”  There is a fiery move coming forth. As we were assembled in TX at Upgrade, James Goll began to share dreams The Lord had given him about tremendous moves of The Spirit coming to America. As he spoke about what he had seen my heart leapt with excitement because it confirmed what I had seen in the vision.

The Lord told me this fire and glory will be carried by the pure! He is going to use those who have refused to change their message to please religious spirits. He is mantling those who have chosen not to bow to political systems in the church but have stayed tuned into what heaven is declaring. They will operate in next level fire and glory. The glory is a marker in this hour. It is the mandate! There is a strong, sweeping move coming!!! It is bold, it is untainted, it is fiery, it is raw, it is daring and it is glorious!!!! May we keep pressing until heaven bursts forth here on earth and great glory comes in our midst.

Ryan LeStrange, 11th July 2017 (Facebook – It’s Time For Your Upgrade!)

A historic day, not only for Britain but also globally re. Genesis 12 & Psalm 2

Now the Lord had said to Abram, “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 

“I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3, NKJV)

As I write, Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, has received PM Theresa May’s letter of ‘Declaration of Independence’ giving notice of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. She announced to the House of Commons that the Article 50 letter has been delivered. Hooray!

Britain’s ambassador to the EU Tim Barrow delivers formal notice of the UK’s intention to leave the bloc to European Council president Donald Tusk in Brussels CREDIT: AF

A year ago none would have expected such a severe shaking in government and change in leadership in the United Kingdom (as well as in the United States of America) – as said before, obviously the Hand of God must have been in this (eg here). AND, in accordance with what He revealed to one who listened to Him, He told his prophets in advance!

‘Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

‘A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?’ (Amos 3:7-8 NKJV)

You may be interested to read Archbishop Cranmer’s ‘take’ on this and note reference by ‘TropicalAnglican’ in the ensuring thread to a ‘brexit’ vision on New Year’s Eve 2015.

Let us never, ever forget the essential prime point – whatever anyone may say – in leaving the EU is to remove ourselves from its inequitable system of judiciary injustice. That fact was well emphasised by David Chapman in The EU’s Background and An Alternative.  Also, it’s featured strongly in Edmund Phillimore’s conclusions drawn a week before the June referendum, which closes by reminding readers:

‘Brexit will not restore us to godly government, for many of our politicians are secular humanists. But it will be a step in the right direction, taking us out of a system of government that does not acknowledge God and his sovereignty over his creation.  It will restore us to the principles of our ancient constitution and democratic monarchy that honours God in the Coronation oath which still stands.  We should trust God , and remember that he can restore life to dry and scattered bones.’ (Our Christian Heritage in Church and State – new addition to blog.)

In my humble opinion, leaving the EU will enable Britain to move back into its God-given destiny and, as Mrs May has a far better appreciation of the purpose and role of Israel in the world than anti-Semitic EU, we can expect the Lord to follow-up His promise to bless us – AND as arranged during PM Netanyahu’s visit to London last month, a British-Israeli task force is proceeding to prepare for new trade deals now Article 50 has been triggered. (After USA, the UK is Israel’s second largest trading partner.)

The USA should also be the recipient of scripture’s promised blessings too now there’s no longer any light showing between their alliance with Israel and their individual geopolitical interests.

TOWARDS A NEW ARAB SPRING

As in Prophetic Scripture Update #3, today’s meeting of Sunni Arab heads of states in Jordan may result in their acceptance of the Jewish state of Israel as a partner in working towards an acceptable solution to the Israel-Palestine issue. They may want to wave a ‘hammer’ at ‘mule-headed’ Mahmoud Abbas – and better still, clout him with one!

So, according to Genesis 12 all those Sunni nations will be blessed in dealing properly with Israel – and all parties thus move toward recognising Messiah Jesus. For decades the scenario given in Psalm 2 has applied in that intractable Middle-Eastern enmity, as well as all reprobate nations:

‘Why do the Gentiles throng tumultuously and the people plot a worthless thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His anointed, saying “Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us”.

‘He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them with His deep displeasure… (NKJV)

The psalm continues to describe events, especially the declaration of Jesus as Mashiach or Messiah to the Jewish elders (Matt 26:63-66) and commissioning his disciples unto the nations. Its conclusion may be read as a promise to those who come to respect His people and their Anointed One:

‘Now, therefore, be wise O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with (reverential) fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son (embrace discipline, receive instruction), lest the LORD be angry and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little.

‘Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.’

That scripture may prophesy blessing upon that meeting and its outcome, all of which may fit in with an open vision I had when visiting Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship for the first time in 2003.

Being unfamiliar with the speakers I’d heard a little about them from Nina and knew so little about Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries (Iris Global). However, as she started addressing the conference I suddenly had an open vision as though I was in orbit over central Africa and saw tall flames leaping high into the atmosphere over the whole Mozambique area to the right. I then saw them sweeping up the eastern side of Africa and into Sudan and Egypt. Its Mediterranean coast sat on the curvature of the globe and I saw this holy fire go along it and across the Sinai peninsular into the Arabian peninsula!  .

[Upon speaking to Rolland Baker about this, he replied it’s similar to what their director Supresa Sithole had seen for the ministry, which has brought whole Muslim provinces to Jesus.]

Therefore, we trust and pray the Lord is doing many new things globally today…

March, a month of divine demarcation – Veronika West

Within hours of the Midnight Vision of Harvesting Angels on Tuesday Veronica posted this awesome follow-up.:

‘I know it’s early but here is just a glimpse into a Word God gave me today for the Month of MARCH!

“A DIVINE DEMARCATION IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL EMERGE IN A GREATER WAY STARTING IN THE MONTH OF MARCH”!

veronika-west‘This afternoon I was sitting in my garden when the Spirit of the Lord began to manifest, I felt a tangible weightiness of His presence surround me, then I saw in the Spirit the finger of God begin to draw a dividing line across the Nations of the Earth, I saw an even greater shaking begin to take place, I felt the ground give way as His finger moved across the Nations, then I saw in the Spirit realm a great and mighty SHIFT begin to take place in the earth, suddenly great and mighty earthquakes began to increase in the earth, and the waters of the seas began to rise violently, suddenly weather patterns over the Nations began to shift and change rapidly, then I saw heavy rainfall and large hail stones falling from the heavens, I saw mighty tornadoes beginning to form in the distance, then I heard the Spirit say,

“WATCH! FOR MARCH WILL BE A MONTH WHERE A DIVINE DEMARCATION IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE IN A GREATER WAY, FOR THE BOUNDARY LINES OF THE NATIONS ARE NOW BEING REALIGNED, REARRANGED AND REORDERED. WATCH! FOR A CLEAR DEMARCATION OF FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRIES WILL BEGIN TO EMERGE ACROSS THE BODY CHRIST. WATCH! FOR THERE WILL BE AN EVEN GREATER DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL, WHAT IS TRUTH AND WHAT IS DECEPTION, WATCH! AS I SEPARATE THE GOAT NATIONS FROM THE SHEEP NATIONS, WATCH! AS THE WHEAT AND THE CHAFF ARE SIFTED, WATCH! AS THE LIGHT OF MY GLORY GOES FORTH TO ILLUMINATE AND EXPOSE THAT WHICH HAS BEEN COVERED AND CONCEALED BY A BLANKET OF DARKNESS, FOR EVEN IN THIS HOUR THE FIRES OF MY GLORY ARE NOW BEGINNING TO FALL, FALL, FALL UPON THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, WATCH! AS MY HAND NOW MOVES SWIFTLY TO FIRMLY FIX IN PLACE NEW BOUNDARY LINES WITHIN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, FOR MY KINGDOM IS NOW ADVANCING AND MY GLORY IS NOW INVADING FOR MY JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL RULE OVER THE NATIONS, WATCH! AS MY WORD GOES FORTH TO ESTABLISH MY KINGDOM PURPOSES IN ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH”, says God.’

Veronica West, 21st February 2017

Footnote:

It is rare for anointed prophetical voices to refer to exact timing but there are occasions when this is done, and of course it puts them on the spot because such prophecies can be easily checked for accuracy. Veronica West is connected to and accountable to Revd Dr Sharon Stone, whom I witnessed give a forecast in Oct 2013 of a ‘battle’ for Britain in two to two and a half years’ (ie 2016). This was fulfilled in the EU Referendum campaigns and subsequent bitter recriminations plus court and parliamentary battles.

Furthemore, Revd John Kilpatrick taught in 2014 about “prophesying into time” and Patsy Southway gave an accurate word about last May and its ‘domino effect’ (as here).

GPS#6 – today’s trilogy of mighty encouragement

A sequence of three email provides this Global Prophecy Signal from Scotland, England and Australia (but time-stamped in reverse order). In reading them I noted a connecting thread but a day busy on many activities means only extracts are shown. To read the words in full click the appropriate links (emphases added):

Lion Bites: KEEP YOUR HEAVENLY PERSPECTIVE

God has not called you to be one who gives in to fearful circumstances which threaten to engulf your heart and mind. He has called you be one whose daily experience is joy and peace, knowing that His love is greater than any problem……Decide right now, as you read this word from God to trust Him and view all things through the heavenly lens of faith.

Hebrews 12:2
Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross…

Chris Bennett 3 Feb: HANG ON to Your Faith – HANG ON to ME

“HANG ON!” I hear the Lord calling over the tumult. “HANG ON to your faith, HANG ON to ME”, says the Lord, “For there is happening a backlash, an assault, a persecution so vicious it will stagger even the most fervent and zealous of My children. But even in the midst of the storm, My love will prevail.” says the Lord. “In the face of the enemy’s onslaught, you will see thousands turning to Me!”

Many prophets in these days are facing a daily assault and heavy fire from the satanic hordes. There is an unrelenting storm being thrown at Gods people and the prophets are bearing the brunt of it…

“…Can you not hear the victory shouts of My mighty army as the forces of evil are thrown back – and back – and back again?

“It has begun,” says the Lord.Stand by for your new orders, for new revelations, for new plans. The enemy is already retreating. Your victory is assured!”

Lana Vawser: I’m Releasing a Company of Prophets Who’ve Been Through The Fire and Carry Arrows of Fire to Bring a Great Realignment to the Church

“I am now releasing a company of prophets who have been through the fire and carry the arrows of fire in their hands, to bring a great re-alignment in the Church.”

I saw the Lord positioning these prophets, who have been through the fire, these ones who have allowed the Lord to do a deep work in their hearts and souls and who really carry His heart. These ones have been through an incredible testing in this season, an incredible time of purification and pruning and now the Lord is releasing them into places of greater favour.

I saw the Lord hand them arrows of fire and as I looked at their mouths, I could see their mouths like normal, but at the same time, I could see a MEGAPHONE over their mouths. The sense surrounded me that the voice of these prophets is about to get loud…continue reading this mightily exciting message.

“Set me on fire with Your fire…”

AM BURNING!  Upon hitting the ‘Reblog’ button after writing covering remarks to ‘God’s Fire’, I then hear this song coming upstairs into my study…“set me on fire with your fire, set me on fire with your fire…my heart is burning for you, my heart is burning for you….”

Down in the lounge our hi-fi blasts this 88 minutes-long dvd recorded in 2008 and had got to this terrific song that always stops me in my tracks – IT JUST CANNOT BE IGNORED (but the banner blurb can!) – and continues with a plea to “Send Your fire…”

For a fuller sequence see New Britain: Spiritual rains have started in UK – wonderful mix of holy water and holy fire working simultaneously because they’re supernatural.

“Quench not the Spirit” (KJV) “Do not put out the Spirit’s fire” (NIV) 1 Thess 5:19

God’s Fire

In view of the fire+cupped hands image used to accompany yesterday’s Lion Bites on being revisited by holy fire, Tony in Tucson reminded me of the following dream – THUS IT’S TIME TO DECLARE IT AGAIN !

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I had a dream 12/01/2013. In the dream I saw a pair of hands that we’re cupped and there was a fire burning in them. I then saw people coming with unlit torches towards the cupped hands and as each person came up to the hands they would place their unlit torch into the fire and it would become lit with the fire of God. Some people loved the fire and some stomped on their torches shortly after acquiring the fire.

The verses that come to mind are found in Isaiah.

Isaiah 33:14-15 NKJV

The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, He who despises the gain of oppressions, Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes, Who stops his ears from hearing of…
