It wasn’t a normal, vertical door but a trapdoor – and it was about to be sprung with yours truly standing on it!
In terror, moments beforehand I’d thought “My number’s up!” because I was suddenly at the end of my life AND shocked to realise hell’s below – AND, I’d be heading there – even though I used to think hell didn’t exist! I was wrong – oh so badly wrong!!
Being anti-Christian had been a serious mistake – but it was now far too late! Yet I’m now able to tell this true story; it is told purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How did I get there? you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it?
We need to go back in time to the evening of 13th September 1989.
SEARCHING FOR ‘TRUTH’ BUT HEADING FOR DEVIL’S DOOR!
The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.
As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.
Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did.Continue reading →
The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. [St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:13-14, Amplified Bible.]
To continue the next part of my testimony upon my 36th spiritual birthday:
As well as checking out Christians’ claims of hearing God direct and getting astounding personal evidence for that, I wanted to know lots more not only about Him, but also and especially to follow-up on the personally revelatory scriptures about false teachers.
In my great wariness of religious folk I’d assumed none would be able to comprehend my story because they’d be ignorant about those things. Doubtless, none would have been through my kind of bad, meditative ‘trips’ – or so I thought!
But direct help was again at hand from the Bible’s Author…Yet first, there’s one little-suspected aspect of His character that amazingly revealed a very personal thought and thus confirmed He knows all about me. Here’s what had happened many years earlier.:Continue reading →
Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me to...“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”
Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:
Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.
Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.
As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!
I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be?
WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second! What utter freedom! Praise Him!
That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.
How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:
1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?
2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.
3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans (NIV UK)
15.1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbours for their good, to build them up. 3 For even Christ did not please Himself but, as it is written: ‘The insults of those who insult you have fallen on Me.’ (Psalm 69:9)
We hadn’t planned to watch the Olympics 2024 opening ceremony in Paris on Friday.
However, after watching The Chosen on our TV and then closing that software, the screen changed to show displays on BBC of licentious LGBQwerties whilst the boats of national teams sailed along the Seine. So we switched off and am not surprised many brethren commented on the demonic nature of some of those displays – even alluding to 4th horseman of the Apocalypse, but which depicts the goddess of the capital’s river!!
That was all the news on Saturday morning and in closing our Men’s Breakfast Bible study we read chapters’ 14-15 overlap, I noted especially verse 3 as cited above.
The ceremony in Paris was based upon pagan bacchanalian legends and practices and I was appalled to notice close-up photos of the ‘actors’ displaying genitalia on camera!! THUS those degenerates’ purpose is blatantly broadcast for the world to see, but our Father already knew – no wonder torrential rain and Paris went dark with a power blackout!! – EXCEPT for the Cathedral dedicated to the Holy Heart of Jesus…
Also, thank you Elaine Venning for sharing this ‘thank you’ from Revd Betty King; “It’s a good salutary reminder that our Lord is still high above . May this encourage you and others.”
“Dear Saints,
This uproar and outpouring of Christian indignation over the heinous depiction of the ‘Last Supper’ at the Olympics in Paris, should actually encourage the Bride, as whenever the light starts to shine the brightest, all darkness and wickedness has nowhere to hide but to be exposed.
For that, we applaud and say THANK YOU to the thousands of faith-filled believers in France who have kept watch in the land and exposed the duplicity of leaders of the land in allowing this to be associated to Paris, the ‘City of Lights’ and France as a whole.
The reason I chose to make a comment after the fact, is because in the midst of the display of evil, the Lord’s hand and providence had to be heard and seen. Soon after what was displayed, there was a power outage across a large swathe of Paris, and yet the only place and monument that had lights on and beaming, was Sacre Coeur, a church that sits on a hill. As Prophetess Jane Harmon pointed out, this house of worship has had 24/7 continuous prayer since 1885. Saints, righteousness exalts a nation. In the midst of all the darkness, the Light of lights, Jesus Christ, still shines
What I see is the beginning of the move of God in Europe. Through all these provocations of the enemy across the continent, there are and there will be ones who haven’t bowed their knees to any other but God, as they stand and pray.
As such, I want to thank God for everyone who stands to pray for nations. I want to thank God for believers in France who God is using to see good and Godly things to continue to take place in France. France shall see revival that will transcend their borders and flow through the whole of Europe, SELAH!

A reprise from 2013 for background to my upcoming prayer for my contemporary, the then heir to the throne: Charles the Prince of Wales:
1962, age 14 years, at my Aunt Jenny’s house in Leicester
The intellectual freedom of higher education in the ‘swinging 60’s’ enabled me to break loose from the values of my parents and their generation. Even so, I recognised their values had enabled them to come through the destruction and deprivation of the Great Depression, World War and post-war Britain austerity with great fortitude.
As outlined in “You Shouldn’t Be At Our School!”, a formative influence upon a child of the post-war ‘baby boom’ was the disharmony and hypocrisy between churches. In my mind it tarred all Christians with the same brush and badly reflected upon the God they believed in.
Nevertheless, when a child I’d once thought it must have been awesome to have been around Jesus and seen everything He said and did.
Also, two verses from Sunday Mass got embedded into my brain and, although buried in the unconscious, they never got overwritten. One was of Jesus telling his disciples they’d do even greater works than He was doing! The other was by someone who’d been with Jesus, and who surmised: If everything He’d done was written down there wouldn’t be enough room in the world to contain the books! [John 14:12 and closing sentence of that Gospel.]
In view of that eye-witness account and churches’ misrepresentation of their founder, I became convinced a lot of what he’d taught had been lost, or even suppressed, by the early church. Continue reading →
On Tuesday 7th December Veronika posted this highly significant severe prophecy (weigh, pray and watch) on Ignite Ireland Ministries and His Kingdom Prophecy. In my humble opinion it relates to Matthew 13’s parable of the wheat and tares:Continue reading →
HOW time flies when we’re having fun! Although I read the following earlier this week it’s now time to re-read what my friend and author Neil emailed last Thursday! (Regular readers of this blog may recall his previous insights and book SIGNS). He writes,
“I have, as ever, been following your Blog with great interest. I have been intrigued by the information Nina has been receiving, and the “God-incidences” associated therewith. In line with that, the Lord has been telling me that those who do not study / know what the Bible says are in great peril. Tragically, many churches are not preaching the Gospel in all its fullness.
It is so hard to convince those who should be caring for the flock, that teaching End- Times prophecy and what to watch for is both vital and urgent.
There is a lot going through my mind at the moment that I am processing – attached is a recent paper which came from my endeavours to understand the way “woke” is used today…”
HOPE, NOT WOKE
Woke: A term that originated in the United States and which originally referred to recognising (being awake to) racial discrimination. About ten years ago it started to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities and has been used as shorthand for ideas involving identity politics and notions implying (stigmatising) white privilege – it has now become a battle cry for pressure groups who perceive themselves as victims of some injustice or have decided that aspects of history should be “airbrushed” out. Those who challenge their perception are likely to be accused of not being “woke” or, worse still, ridiculed, “no-platformed”, and pilloried.
Any teaching that runs counter to the Bible should be resisted and, where appropriate, challenged, even though to do so may be uncomfortable (isolating). That statement begs a question: Do we know the Bible well enough to recognise proposals, practices and policies that are in conflict with the teachings of Scripture, and well enough to give a reasoned response?
Because of the overzealous application of aspects of political correctness, many people are unwilling to express their true feelings. Topics that are now largely avoided, especially when it comes to preaching, include (in no particular order): the reality of radical Islam; Hell; LGBTQ+ issues; BLM; abortion; End Times prophecy in general, and its relationship to current world events in particular; and the reality of humanism. Put another way, the hazards of saying something that others might see as not being “politically correct” (PC), has encouraged many people to remain silent. Freedom of speech is under threat and the middle ground is disappearing. The easy option of remaining silent on burning issues is equivalent to appeasement: we have allowed a liberal ideology to infiltrate our society and set the agenda for political correctness.
PC indoctrination starts at an early age: children face all sorts of confusing messages at school and through the media. Every day they are confronted by a myriad of liberal views that are in direct conflict with Bible principles. If we do not stand against this onslaught of opinions and propaganda, some of which is likely to (designed to?) alienate children from their parents, we are endangering the well-being of the next generation.
“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” – Esther 4: 14
‘But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Peter realized that he had no choice but to resist the unreasonable ban on the Gospel. Not to do so would, over time, undoubtedly lead to further restrictions on what could be preached.’ – Acts 4: 19
In the World Economic Forum’s proposed great global reset, aimed at resolving the world’s burgeoning debt crisis, and if the “New World Order” materialises, there is a distinct possibility that sermon topics will be proscribed. In the short-term, silence may appear to be the wisest course – but where will that lead? Their proposals are definitely not God-focused!
There are many who see nothing wrong with combining Christian faith and woke-ness. They may support the abortion laws as allowing “life-style” choices, or encourage LGBTQ+ rights and education as aspects of an enlightened society. They don’t recognise the contradiction in claiming that Biblical truths and the liberal agenda are compatible. Protecting complacent congregations from the hard truths of the Bible may seem expedient – but it endangers their souls!
Perhaps the only consolation in this downward spiral is that Jesus said that these things would come to pass. That leads into the necessity of our knowing what the Bible says, if we are to have any chance of understanding what is happening in the world today.
Realising that prophetic Scripture is being fulfilled as we watch, is proof of God’s omniscience and omnipotence: He knows the end from the beginning and is in control.
I first noticed this happening to our sister when Farcebuk added CCP members to its team in the lead-up to the November election when they started blocking THE President – hence in my humble opinion, seditious treason – because she offered prayers for him!
Doubtless, they don’t want anyone thinking for themselves contrary to the New World Order’s dictats and programme of Global Reset and tyrannical control.
ALSO, being under the influence of the prince of the air, aka, father of lies, Farcebuk may have taken exception to Veronika’s most informative discussion on that thread, the beginning of which she covered in her Postscript in my previous post. NB: if you’ve yet to read therein about demonic action please do so first as her following very personal testimony continues those opening points (copied from Fbk without reformatting):
Veronika West to Chris M (emphases mine: RB)
ABSOLUTELY! Being born and raised in Africa my first encounter with a powerful demonic entity was over a region in Africa where Satanic sacrifices had been made,…the church in that area had become compromised by mixture false teaching which was Satan’s entry point,..the Church/Restrainer was strategically targeted by the enemy with a goal to gain a foothold and an opportunity to build his throne. Witch doctors in the area who once walked in the fear of God that operated through the local Pastors were now taking over and becoming bolder and bolder in their own agenda,.. Soon the people in that region had become fully deceived by the reports of the witch doctors and even a counterfeit demonic spirit moved with demonstration of signs and wonders; this only fortified the Satanic hold over the lives of many. Weather patterns in that area soon began to change famine soon took hold over a region known for the best rainfall and wheat harvests,…people began to suffer,…but hence the Government’s soon moved in with a NEW INITIATIVE which would take the little money the people had but with a PROMISE OF A RETURN TO PROSPERITY. Of course many bought into the scheme and Satan certainly took over that area. I was part of a team that went into this area to PRAYER MAP,…Through much prayer and fasting THE LORD SHOWED US THE GATEWAYS AND THE ENTRY POINTS AND WE WERE ABLE TO REINSTATE THE LOCAL CHURCH LEADERS AND THE HEALING OF THE LAND BEGAN,…WE SPENT MONTHS PRAYER WALKING BINDING AND LOOSING CLEANSING THE LAND THROUGH WATER, OIL AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND SOON THE POWER OF THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT BEGAN TO ARISE WITHIN THE CHURCH AND WE SAW A PUSHING BACK OF THE DARKNESS AND A SHUTTING DOWN THE DEMONIC ENTRY POINTS. PRAYERS OF REPENTANCE WERE THE CATALYST FOR THE TRANSFORMATION AND RADICAL CHANGE. THE DEMONIC ALTARS WERE PULLED DOWN AND AN ALTAR OF REPENTANCE AND SURRENDER WAS ERECTED AND MADE WAY FOR CHANGE.
So having shared just one of my experiences I can tell you without reservation that Satan will take whatever he can get as long as he can get the Church to become is compromised and ineffective.
To Nancie M – thank you for your great question,…but unfortunately the answer would be too long to share over this platform. I encourage you to do some research on Prayer Mapping and certainly spiritual warfare. Taking a Warfare stand over territories requires great wisdom, revelation and indeed prophetic and prayerful strategy. Make no mistake these types of assignments are weighty and carry great risk if not done in the correct way. I have come across many casualties in Warfare that have steamed ahead in great zeal and passion only to be taken out by the enemy for a lack of knowledge and revelation. Satan is very real and he does not give over these strongholds in these areas with ease. While we of course have been given the fire -power which is greater than the devil’s, one must know how to use that fire-power with great care. So beloved, not wanting to put you off but rather encourage you to get understanding and wisdom concerning these things and then formulate a strategic plan in which you can go out as a small team and take ground and reclaim what has been stolen.

RB: Although based upon Africa, Veronika’s account is not exceptional for the Lord showed me this book when fairly ‘new-born’ into the Kingdom
in 1993 John Widdas and Peter Mockford wrote about learning how to deal with demonic attacks against church congregations. One of the hardest comments they heard whilst writing their book was made by, ‘…someone coming out of satanism: “The Church is powerless, because they do not live in their inheritance”!‘ (at page 170)
Immediately I recognised its truth from decades spent in the enemy’s camp of the New Age/occult (as told herein).
Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me,
“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”

What follows is the text of a speech delivered by Cardinal Carlo Maria Viganò on August 28, 2021 . LIBERA NOS A MALO
Considerations on the Great Reset and the New World Order.
“No one will be part of the New World Order unless he carries out an act of worship to Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he receives L..n initiation.” David Spangler, Director of the United Nations Planetary Initiative Project( Reflections on The Christ, Findhorn, 1978)
‘For more than a year and a half we have been helplessly witnessing the succession of incongruent events to which most of us are unable to give a plausible justification. The pandemic emergency has made particularly evident the contradictions and illogicalities of measures nominally intended to limit contagion – lockdowns, curfews, closures of commercial activities, limitations of public services and classes, suspension of citizens’ rights – but which are disavowed daily by conflicting voices, by clear evidence of ineffectiveness, by contradictions on the part of the same health authorities. There is no need to list the measures that almost all the governments of the world have taken without achieving the promised results. If we limit ourselves to the presumed advantages that the experimental gene serum should have brought to the community – above all immunity to the virus and renewed freedom of movement – we discover that an Oxford University study published in The Lancet (here) stated that the viral load of those vaccinated with a double dose is 251 times greater than the first strains of the virus (here),despite the proclamations of world leaders…’ [click to continue..]
My readers have come across this Godly incisive cardinal in a couple of my blogs warning about the danger of Biden and as so-called Catholic. During 20 years spent unwittingly in the devil’s domain I’d heard about Spangler but failed to appreciate his nefarious nature! Continue reading →
To celebrate our wedding anniversary today and my birthday yesterday
Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures.

“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”
Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:
Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.
Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.
As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!
I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be?
WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second! What utter freedom! Praise Him!
That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.
How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:
1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?
2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.
3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Am very pleased to learn of Revd Gavin’s early liking of Carl Jung and stark warning about consequential darkness for those who follow his path, for that too is my story but which began a decade earlier than his journey. I was intrigued that his auto-biography told of a ‘revelatory’ dream that started Jung’s delving into psychic realms because it falsely pointed to God loathing the traditional Church. What’s more, it’s thus not surprising Jung soon acquired a spiritual guide, or ‘mentor’! [My personal account at I’m Free! tells of these dangers and how only the Lord Jesus could rescue me and transfer me from the devil’s domain into His Kingdom – Colossians 1:13.]

Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me,
“Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”
Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:
Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.
Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.
As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!
I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be?
WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second! What utter freedom! Praise Him!
That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.
How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:
1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?
2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.
3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
If you’re unfamiliar with Charles Wesley brother of the renowned evangelical founder of Methodism, John Wesley, read here about his equally famous influence as author of many well-known hymns; eg. Love Divine, all love’s excelling, Hark the herald angels…
Listen to one of the greatest hymns as broadcast some years ago in Songs of Praise, thanks to Fabio Ramsay.:
I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! (Hab 3:1)

Am very pleased to learn of Revd Gavin’s early liking of Carl Jung and stark warning about consequential darkness for those who follow his path, for that too is my story but which began a decade earlier than his journey. I was intrigued that his auto-biography told of a ‘revelatory’ dream that started Jung’s delving into psychic realms because it falsely pointed to God loathing the traditional Church. What’s more, it’s thus not surprising Jung soon acquired a spiritual guide, or ‘mentor’! [My personal account at
