Published this morning on The Elijah List, this prophetic word is from teacher and revivalist Amanda Wells of Brisbane and who’s associated with the Australian Prophetic Council. NOTE the reference to ‘a cloth being torn in two’ reminds me of the open vision I had in 2004 (as here):
BRITAIN: REFORMATION IS COMING WITH A FAR GREATER GLORY!
As I was in Italy when the UK voted to leave the European Union, and I awoke to the words, Continue reading
Note: thank you David Robinson for letting me know this is on Elijah List as it’s not on the Shamp’s Facebook. Published here with links and minor editorial changes only:
For many years now our family and ministry has had a burning desire for awakening and revival to return to Great Britain. Those that follow Destiny Encounters know that last year Brynn and I, along with our children spent three months traveling across the United Kingdom ministering in every church or ministry group that would open its doors to us. There was a mandate in our hearts concerning sowing into the rich revival heritage of that land.
In fact, a year before, the Spirit of intercession had come upon me and my close friend, Munday Martin, while at a lunch meeting with the Heartbeat team that hosted us in England. I laid prostrate on the floor weeping and praying for the nation in a home outside the city of Norwich. God was placing in my heart a deep burden for those beautiful lands. Upon returning home I shared my heart with Brynn regarding what the Lord had placed in me. During that time the Lord spoke with me and said, “Son, whatever you sow into this land you will reap for your nation, America”.
When I shared this with Brynn our hearts began to burn within us with a mandate to see Britain come alive with another awakening. This word was confirmed just a few months later when Chuck Pierce called me out and prophesied that God would use us on Island Nations to shift governments. I told Chuck this was a total confirmation of what the Lord had spoken to us about going to the United Kingdom. He laughed and said, praise God that’s a big island, go for it! With the help of a wonderful team of ministers and intercessors we were able to spend three months traveling and ministering across the island. God did amazing miracles and although the meetings were not attended by hundreds of people it was a significant time of sowing into the land to see change. Our love for the United Kingdom and its destiny had become such a passion in our hearts. We even felt very strongly to cancel a trip to Germany so we could stay longer in England to sow the Word.
Honestly we felt one with the people and the land, it was supernatural. We also understood that seed takes time to grow and while we are not a mega ministry that could draw the masses to the meetings to hear what the Lord was telling us we knew that God’s word never returns void and His word carries mega impact. It has been awesome to see what the Lord has done this year as a result of those three months. The awesome outpouring that is taking place in Seattle that God graciously let us be a part of, to the tremendous miracle reports we are receiving from people that have attended meetings in America this year. God is doing mighty things, but we believe this is just the beginning!
The realm of visions and prophecy is a place of seeing and knowing in order to create God’s desire in the earth. However, the Bible is very clear that often times we are only shown in part and therefore prophesy in part. I believe that what takes place is the Prophet does his part and God does his part and it creates a whole, a whole new world. The place of visions is an environment of mystery where you are left to decipher and interpret a symbolic language that, if the prophet was to be completely transparent, he often doesn’t fully know everything the Lord is showing him in the place of interpretation. The prophet’s only desire should be to yield as an oracle and as God’s prophetic mouth piece in the earth release a ‘thus says the Lord’. Just like the Prophet Habakkuk says,
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:1-3).
I’ve at times found myself in this place of prophesying in a meeting and afterwards thinking I fully understood what God was saying in the spirit only to come to the conclusion many months later that God was speaking on multiple levels that my natural brain couldn’t fully comprehend. I have watched over the years as the word came to pass in ways that even caught me by surprise. To me, prophecy has been like pieces of a puzzle placed together to reveal the bigger picture of God’s magnificent plan for the nations.
I’ve been cautious over the years to never give my personal opinion about politics. In fact, I try to avoid the conversation concerning any world politics because frankly I believe personal opinion doesn’t matter in world affairs, the only thing that matters are what the Lord speaks and the prophetic word shifts the natural world. I’ve only spoken when it was directed from a ‘thus says the Lord’. Last year while we were ministering in the United Kingdom the Lord gave me two specific visions about future events. The first was a vision of a terrorist attack attempt on London that I saw during a meeting in Norwich at a Heartbeat gathering. This vision was very self-explanatory and we knew as believers exactly what we must do. We prayed and as many remember several weeks later in June of 2015 there was a massive terrorist attack that was stopped.
The second was a vision and prophetic word that had deep symbolism and multiple layers of revelatory insight both naturally and spiritually for the future. The vision was concerning the United Kingdom and America and also was first given in Norwich at a Heartbeat meeting. It was a vision of revival, awakening and freedom first coming to the UK and as a result it would come to America. The word was,
“The Lion must roar before the Eagle can fly!”
I was shown in a vision a lion and an eagle. I then saw as the lion roared the eagle took flight. The lion spoke to me of Great Britain and the roar of the Lord over the land, a roar of freedom and revival. The eagle taking flight spoke to me of America and her receiving freedom and awakening as a result of what would take place in Great Britain. I released this word and later spoke to Alan Goldstone and David Cairns, leadership of the Heartbeat Team we had been working with, about it. We all felt it was a significant word for the United Kingdom and America that the two were interlocked for a great awakening and until the United Kingdom was awakened America could not see another great outpouring.
I also believe that this word was tied into the recent vote for Great Britain to leave the European Union and is a direct fulfillment of this prophetic word spoken last year. It is a trigger point in the natural for what God is doing spiritually for The United Kingdom. I believe Great Britain and America are on a prophetic timeline that is leading to a massive outpouring of the spirit once again. All the signs are lighting the way and the recent developments only make the picture become more clear, revival is near! When we study out the history of revival in the earth over the past several centuries, we can almost single-handedly point to the United Kingdom as a major hot spot and catalyst for what the Holy Spirit was doing at that time. Almost every major shift of reformation or revival started on these Island Nations.
Whether we are discussing the First and Second Great Awakenings, or go further back and discuss the mystics and catholic miracle workers that walked the shores of England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales – God has always seemed to release the fresh movement of the Holy Spirit on these Islands that has gone on to affect the entire earth. My love for Church history and the moves of the Spirit caused me to recognize that what took place within these nations directly affected America and the move of the Spirit in my nation. Although we are an ocean away, we are connected in the realm of the Spirit, and as the song of Heaven would arise over the UK, it would carry all the way to the shores of America and revival would begin to come forth in these United States.
Over the past several years we have been traveling into the UK to minister, our greatest hope and prayer has been that God would once again ignite these Islands with the wild-fire of Heaven. From the moment that I first stepped into a meeting in the nation of Wales back in 2010, I could feel something fresh was being birthed in the Spirit, something organic, something that would turn the world upside down! Something massive has shifted, the lion is roaring and revival is coming.
The earth is shaking and God’s Kingdom is coming. I know many fear change and when it comes there is often turbulence that causes people to be uncertain about the future, but surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealed his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord hath spoken, who can but prophesy? I tell you in confidence not from someone who is speaking what God is saying after the fact, but from one that has seen before hand that God is setting both the United Kingdom and America up for another massive awakening. We are the generation that will not just see revival, but we are those who will decree it into existence as Sons and Daughters of the Kingdom of God.
I want to leave you with this, God has not given you a spirit of fear United Kingdom, but He has given you a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Great Britain your greatest days of Glory are upon you!

Notes:
Thank you to Suzanne Payne of Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival for these prophetic words received early last week but which I was unable to post sooner.:
I saw in a vision in a prayer meeting a couple of weeks ago….The Lord showed me a big grey battleship docked with heavy ‘guide’ ropes at a mooring…as I saw the big old type grey battleship…I heard the Lord speak to my spirit and tell me to ‘release the heavy guide ropes’ as we did this prophetically in prayer…the battleship began to separate itself from its ‘dock’ and move away from the shore!
In my spirit I knew this was a vision for ‘Great Britain’ to come out from its ‘anchored’ position in the EU…we prayed in this accord and the peace of God followed. Bless you all. Time to LEAVE the EU.
Debbie Jean 20th June’16
A few weeks ago I was thinking about the up and coming referendum and how it was so sad that our fishing industry in the country had been decimated and nearly non-existent because of the EU’s laws and regulations. Now we buy our own fish from our own waters from other European countries. We are a nation surrounded by the seas, and have had in the past a thriving and very prosperous fishing industry. This has now been lost, we have been robbed and men have lost their livelihoods and way of life. It seems like the enemy has robbed us of what was given to us by God.
Then I hear Holy Spirit say,
“Do not grieve for what was lost but rejoice for this is the year of Jubilee and I will restore what has been stolen from your nation. Once again you will be known as the “fishers of men”, I will make you into a great fishing nation again, and I will give back what you have been robbed of through the deceitfulness and cunning of man and his laws. I remember what my son Jacob has done in the past, how you were sent among the nations and spread the truth of My Gospel, how you laboured and sent missionaries all over the world to proclaim the good news of my Son Jesus Christ and of how you brought Glory to Me and My Kingdom, I have not forgotten and I will repay. No longer shall you be slaves and hostage to evil men and their ways, for I shall break the power of the enemy so that my fishermen can go forth I will restore what has been lost and I will prosper what has been taken, and this will be a sign that the glory has returned to this realm, this sceptred realm this land that my prophets and apostles fought and died for. I am the great restorer and I will make this nation great again as I have in the past, for the nations are in my Hand and are a drop in a bucket. I have power to root up and to set down so also I have power to raise up, I make all things new, so rejoice for you shall be called the Fisher nation on account of the souls that will be saved through you and this shall be a sign when you are set free, it is for freedom you are set free, free to preach the Gospel everywhere.”

UPDATE 5 July 2017: see GPS#8 – On Britain Becoming a ‘Fisher of Souls’ Once Again
We dare to hope and pray for a surprising turnaround within all people across our British society.
For everyone without exception to be encouraged and enthused to want us to become a revived new nation – and to seek and take hold of the vision the Living Holy God has for us all. A future free from invisible shackles of enslavement to that wants to return nations to the imaginary ‘ideal’ of Babel’s ‘one people, one tongue’ – even to the Days of Noah!
Although not a fan of Boris Johnson here’s some notably inspirational oratory:
Are we to bow down to Brussels? Adrian Hilton sums up the situation in the latter part of today’s blog Vote Leave: Take Control. Believe in Britain, or Bow Down to Brussels.:
‘…This Referendum is not only about Christian values, but about national identity. Are we really so feeble that our aspiration to wholeness may be apprehended only in the anti-democratic space? Are we really so fooled that our language of community may only be expressed in terms of political union? Are we really so blind that our morality may only be conceived in the secular Enlightenment conception of man, with his inviolable rights and perfect moral standards? Today is a watershed: Remain, and we perpetuate the self-congratulatory illusion of the abolition of nationalism and the death of God; Leave, and we move beyond myopic Euro-nationalism, spreading our vision upward, downward and outward into the world. There will be upheaval, but nothing that a new mode of thought and sensibility to new nations cannot withstand. Some say this is retrospective illusion: it is, rather, the true globalism of the catholic Christian.
‘If the Christian ends of peace and reconciliation are to be realised in and by the United Kingdom, our moral outlook must change. The Enlightenment European Union is not the Promised Land, for EUtopia erodes the cosmic order, denies self-determination, keeps the poor in famine and inflicts suffering on its own people. If we seek universal benevolence and justice, they are not found in haughty declarations of subjective rights of immunities and benefits, but in an apprehension of divine dignity; of man created in the image of God for a life of grace, love and service. This is not monkish ignorance or superstition: it is, whether we believe it or not, the truth. You may demand tyrannical impositions of trans-national equality, but God’s blessings flow only from humility; security comes only from self-government; and peace comes only from Christ, with whom believers are exhorted to walk in spirit and truth.
‘This isn’t a game of point scoring: it is about the moral culture of our civilisation. There is a prideful illusion of a Godless European Empire with its unaccountable omnipotence and infallible dreams of universal justice, equality and rights; or there is the subtler language of the nation under God, within which the unrighteous may be removed and the immoral corrected, rebuked, reformed and restored. You may not agree with this ‘parochial’ view of human nature in the created order, believing instead that political man is moving toward the zenith of moral perfection and that justice is about to flow like a river. But when empires impose their laws and enforce their creeds by natural authority and the people do not obey except out of cynicism, the only solution is the restoration of the true political authority which chimes with the mores and traditions of the people.
‘So, forget the finger-jabbing niggles of elite establishment politicians sanctified by ecclesial negativity: there is nothing to fear in leaving the European Union. On the contrary, there is hope in liberty; morality in democracy; and prosperity in the restoration of a global outlook. Today is about national self-belief and self-determination. It is about taking back control of our national destiny. Today we vote for freedom. Let today be and hereafter forever be known as UK Independence Day.‘

THEN SCROLL THROUGH WHY LEAVE THE EU? SUMMARY OF FACTS
Credit: Campaign For An Independent Britain (founded 1969)
Veronika West published this yesterday morning 21st June on Facebook:
“IN THIS HOUR I SEE A FIERCE BATTLE, A TUG OF WAR THAT RAGES OVER THE DESTINY AND BIRTHRIGHT OF BRITAIN, BUT FEAR NOT FOR YOUR WORDS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD AND HE HAS COME”!
This morning in my time of soaking in His presence, suddenly I was shown a fierce battle that is raging over the Birthright of Britain in this very hour. I saw in the Spirit Mighty Warring Warrior Angels in what looked like a fierce battle and tug of war over the future Destiny and Sovereignty of the United Kingdom.
As I watched intently, Immediately the Holy Spirit quickened these words to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words and prayers have been heard, and I have COME because of your words and prayers.”
Now, after hearing the Spirit speak, suddenly I could clearly hear the sound and the intensity of the words and prayers of the Sons and Daughters of God that have been crying out for the plans and the purposes of God to be made manifest in this hour and season over the Nation of Britain and the United Kingdom.
As I pressed in deeper into what I was hearing and seeing in the realms of the Spirit, suddenly I was shown the ‘Guardian Angel of the United Kingdom’ standing over the land.
This Mighty Guardian Angel stood hundreds of feet tall and with eyes of blazing fire he stood with a raised sword and shield which completely overshadowed the whole Nation of Britain.
Immediately the Holy Spirit likened this incredible Angel to me as the Archangel Michael who was the Guardian Angel and fierce Protector over the Nation of Israel, who had warred against and defeated the powerful territorial spirits that ruled over the Nations of Greece and Persia.
(“Then the messenger from God said, ‘Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I am through with him, lo, the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince”!)
Friends, here we see the mighty Angel of the Lord going back to fight against the demon prince of Persia to DEFEAT HIM. As we read on we see yet again another enemy spirit, the powerful demon prince of Greece, these were the territorial spirits that had rule and dominion over the Nations of Persia and Greece! These were the demonic spirits that held sway over these Nations and they needed to be dealt with by the Warrior Angels of God in order that the plans and purposes of God could be established in the land in that day.
Prophetically this morning I was shown this same battle that this raging in this very hour over the Birthright and Destiny of BRITAIN, BUT I HEAR THE SPIRIT SAY, “FEAR NOT, FOR FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT YOU SET YOUR MIND TO UNDERSTAND AND YOU HUMBLED YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR GOD, YOURS WORDS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD, AND I HAVE COME”!
In this hour the Holy Spirit is charging us as Sons and Daughters to WAR IN A NEW WAY FOR A NEW DAY IS DAWNING, there is a spiritual battle that rages over this Nation with powerful territorial spirits, demons, principalities, powers, world rulers of this present darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, we MUST STAND OUR GROUND AND REFUSE TO BE DISTRACTED OR DISCOURAGED OR DERAILED WE MUST STAY THE COURSE AND REMAIN STEADFAST AND VIGILANT, WE MUST DECREE AND AGREE THAT THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN IS THE LORDS, AS A NATION WE HAVE THE VICTORY TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
Footnote: In this connection see Tim Shey ‘s profound remarks on last Thursday’s post:
‘I believe this upcoming Brexit vote may be the most important event in Great Britain since the Allies defeated Nazi Germany in 1945. Here is something I stumbled upon earlier this morning; it is a dream that I had back in 2009: [continue reading at foot of this post]’
Continuing with noteworthy communications received on Saturday 11th June.:
As well as the Lord’s action upon Nina and other prophetic words, I was amazed to receive Michael Marcell’s news about stirrings of the Holy Spirit in Reading because it was directly related to what had happened when I lived there.
His email alerts subscribers of UK Awakening that ‘God is moving in Reading’ and quotes a statement from Yinka Oyekan, senior leader at The Gate in Berkshire’s Thames Valley.:
‘An evangelist and his team came to minister from the US, training people to go out on the streets to speak to people about Jesus. After some worship and 20 minutes training, teams are sent out and people are very open to hearing about Jesus. Around 600 had made decisions for Christ in the first 12 days…continue reading full report from the pastor of Reading Community Church.
The details are personally relevant because I was present in the early 1990s when a prophetic vision about a revival came to a young man in the inter-church Ditchdiggers team of youth evangelists. This was organised from Tilehurst Free Church whose young elder had worked in the revival in Argentina. (TFC’s building is now known as ‘The Gate’.)
In a prayer meeting, Chris D told us of having a vivid vision of crowds in Reading’s town centre being ‘slain’ in the Holy Spirit and coming to the Lord! I can recall the expression of awe upon his face and in his voice as he told us about his experience.
In those days I knew precious little about the Holy Spirit’s gifts, but TFC’s Baptist pastor Rev Barry Kirk encouraged everyone to seek them. The bond between the town’s various churches was remarkably vibrant and teachers came from Kensington Temple to teach and equip us.
So do read Michael’s post, plus his others, the most recent being of stirrings of revival and the Lord’s presence, with salvations and healings in Wellington, Shropshire. (Facebook: House of Prayer Telford.)
May you too be thoroughly blessed in reading about these ‘stirrings’…
The surprising find of an old, unread email appears related to today’s plans, the execution of which met with awkward, technical opposition. Before taking the walk mentioned in the previous post I’d emailed single copies of an intercessory email but left the bulk for circulation as an early task this morning.
Now let’s consider that unread email.:
Upon return and preparing for the distribution of the prayer to a several dozen I first dipped into the links in the email and replied to its sender,
That link opens with a reference reflecting something similar that I saw over the weekend on a course on Living in the Anointing. During fervent worship in the chapel I perceived a large pool of water overflow, as though from a well with a low wall. Soon I understood it may refresh the neighbourhood as the land is slightly higher than and thus may feed into the nearby wide but shallow valley. Later, I learned a visiting preacher’s remarks last week led to a search for dried-up, disused spring of water that served the large premises.
Looking now at the hardcopy of the linked article I notice the website’s appropriate title: Living Stones in Streams of Living Water aka. deepuntodeep-joy.blogspot, and the post refers to a song on the glory of the Lord by Godfrey Birtill: ‘Are You Ready?’.
It then provides a recent marvellous prophetic word that may be akin to the vision Smith-Wigglesworth and his prayer partner Norman James had, albeit 50 years later, of Britain. The writer then tells what he sensed from the Spirit whilst walking around central London and the Thames. I’m grateful, therefore, to Beverley (Joy) Hall for circulating this news.
Read this splendid account in full via the following title:
After a short break on the coast followed by a weekend course on living in Holy Spirit’s anointing, I trawled through my in-tray and was very pleased with the following good news. Both items are related to visionary and prophetical words, the first comes from our county town, and the second from the wider Middle-East.
Can These Bones Live?
Dr Clifford Hill reacts as follows to what happened during the Pentecost celebrations:
“If anyone thought that Christianity was dying in the traditional churches of Britain, what happened in Winchester Cathedral last week would have shattered their illusions!”
He reports the ancient, hallowed building and grounds were packed out at that evening’s celebration. This was the culmination of nine days of prayer events for the evangelisation of Britain, as invited by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. The Pentecost weekend itself culminated in six ‘Beacon events’ with video links to Canterbury Cathedral where the Archbishop, Justin Welby, gave a message based upon the Lord’s prayer, which he said was “reassuring enough to be on the lips of the dying and yet dangerous enough to be banned in cinemas!”
Read Clifford’s full report here, which closes with his asking,
“Was this a sign that something special is beginning to happen in the old denominational churches? Will the spiritual life of the nation be transformed by a new generation embracing the gospel in their own culture as the Holy Spirit breathes new life into the unchanging message of salvation and “Jesus is Lord!” is once again heard on the lips of children and young people?”
In my humble opinion, “Yes it is a sign” and my initial thought was of the prophetic promise heard at Ffald-y-Brenin retreat centre, as blogged two years ago in Resurrection Coming to the Anglican Church.:
‘The usual morning liturgical prayer time got overshadowed by the Lord, who reminded them of the raising of Lazarus. They were told He’s going to call the Anglican Church out of its grave and bring it back to life!’
Of all the words published in this blog this may be exceptional because it was the first to be severely criticised, as related in this post about our later visit to Ffald-y-Brenin. Also, this latest event reflects what others have observed of an increasing number returning to the Anglican fold and other churches – yet without denominational divisions as in bygone eras. And, of course, readers of this blog are aware of many prophetic words about a new era in the Church and move of God in the UK; eg, brought by Heidi Baker (with updates).
Intense Persecution Brings Harvest of Muslims
The exciting news continues of many Muslims seriously doubting their faith and looking and turning to Jesus in reaction to it being returned to its original barbaric practices. As blogged about Iran and a significant warning in Mecca (here and here respectively), as well as other posts, this is personally encouraging in view of a vision I had in 1992 on the fall of Islam (see this email).
Another morning email Is There Any Good News From the Mid-East? alerted me to Joel Rosenberg’s latest post, in which his friend Tom Doyle answers,
“Yes, despite intense prosecution we’re also seeing a great harvest of Muslims turning to Christ.”
After providing several wonderful examples, especially of those martyred on a beach in Libya to the shock of the world, Tom asks why is it that Muslims are now coming to faith in Christ in significant numbers? His answer:
“One of the reasons is that Islamic terrorists are killing violently for their faith, while followers of Jesus are dying peacefully for their faith. Muslims are watching the violence and it has soured them towards their religion. It has also opened them up to the possibility that there may be something to this Jesus after all. They see hate in Radical Islam and love among the Jesus followers, even as they are taken to be executed. What a contrast.
“Yes, Christians are being persecuted openly in the Middle East. But they are standing strong, and this has served to spread the gospel even more rapidly. In a world of bad news, that is very good news.”
Indeed it is. And as noted in Good News: Christian Revival in N Africa, the Cartheginian early Church author Tertullian observed the same and formulated the famous dictum:
“The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church.”

Appropriately for this blog’s 1,000th post there’s news of developments in the New Era for the Church:
At Sunday’s morning’s service in CHP in Alabama pastor John Kilpatrick said he’s being contacted about a revival involving many young people in eastern Kentucky, as well as one happening in West Virginia (see video at 1:19:40). He reminded the congregation of what he heard when visiting the Appalachian area of the early 19th Century Cane Ridge Revival.
Those remarks are particularly interesting in view of news received the previous day from Michael Marcel. He updates subscribers to his website with a couple of email, one of which was also circulated to nearly two hundred leaders and which reads as follows:
For more and reaction from Holy Spirit, read Reports of ‘Awakenings’ cont’d.
Michael Marcel is the author of Prepare For Revival, the publicity for which reads:
‘It is time for Revival. Many are expecting one to break out across our nation, but do you really know what a revival is? In this important and timely book, Michael Marcel answers this question and records many exciting accounts of revivals that we have experienced in the United Kingdom since the Reformation. He looks at the reason why the last revival/awakening in the United Kingdom was in 1949, and the last in England was 1921. “Prepare for Revival” recommends what strategies we must do to make revival a reality and what we need to do to prepare ourselves for the revival that is coming.’
Michael’s other books are God’s Heart For A Dying Land and It Is Time – to step out into your calling.
Interesting that Richard, too, is focusing upon meaning and timing of the Kingdom’s recognised presence on earth – I’ve sometimes heard of this preachers’ perplexity: “Kingdom Now but not yet!” His conclusion points to what some prophetic folk are hearing and declaring. (Also see What is the “Gospel of the Kingdom”? by Nelson Walters.)
This message was in my in-tray first thing and reinforces the vision of Veronika West in yesterday’s blog, and other prophetical voices on shifting, shaking and on re-alignments.
New Alignments, New Assignments & Power Stations Being Set Up Across The Nations (issued 13/04/16 at 08:25)
As I sat with the Lord today, He was highlighting ALIGNMENTS to me again. He was speaking to me about the SURPRISE ALIGNMENTS that are taking place right now in this season. There is a deep shifting and shaking of alignments taking place. In this “shifting and shaking” of alignment, the Lord is creating new bridges of connection and networking in the body of Christ. In this “SHIFTING AND SHAKING”, He is “MOVING AND SHAKING!”.(Emphasis added – Maranatha!)
Note: the references to ‘power stations’ echo ‘Phase 2’ of the thrice-repeated vision of 1967 that blessed Jean Darnall. After Phase 1’s ‘glowing fires’ she saw lightning strikes hitting them, some explosively – see Words of Our Time.

An invisible jigsaw’s prophetic pieces are coming together
‘God-incidences’ are quickening! After the recent note from Thomas Harry, I’m learning about others being reminded of the visions the Lord gave Smith Wigglesworth and Jean Darnall decades ago about His plans for the Kingdom across Britain.
In the cyber-deluge deposited in Monday’s in-tray was April’s ‘Ezine’ from Hugh and Ginny Cryer (whom I introduced last June in connection with the prophetic words on Unity and on the UK brought by Heidi Baker and Cindy Jacobs). This month’s edition of Culture Changers Connecting You has a couple of pertinent reports, the first of which reads:
Visions Unfolding
Many of us are aware that Asuza Now starts on 9th April. It is the 100th anniversary of the original Asuza Revival. It’s theme is ‘Unity’ and it is a good reminder that our Dad doesn’t want us to pick sides but pick Him! There is obviously only One Church and He will build it.
As well as Asuza Now, next year is also the fiftieth anniversary of Jean Darnall’s famous prophecy. Here is part of it.:
“And what I saw was the British Isles, as in a bird’s eye view. A kind of haze was over the whole, like a green fog. And then little pinpricks of light began to appear from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then the Lord seemed to draw me closer to these lights, and I saw that they were fires that were burning. They were multiplying from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then I saw lightening come and strike those fires, the brightest spots particularly, and there was a kind of explosion, and rivers of fire flowed down….
“The Lord impressed it on my Heart that those fires I saw were groups of people whom He would make intensely hungry for New Testament Christianity. They would start reading their Bibles and saying, for instance, as they read the book of Acts, ‘Well, where is this happy church? Where are these people so full of the power of the Holy Spirit? Where are these miracles? Where is this growth, this vitality, this courage, this boldness that these people had? Is that for today – can we have it today? Should the church be this way?’.”
[This ‘Phase One’ is also covered in that recent post. To read the full account of Jean’s three-fold vision click/tap > CrossRythms: Jean Darnells Vision.]
With the above in mind, I want to share with you something that happened in our home one Spring morning in 2014 – when our wood burner spontaneously caught fire! We asked the Lord what He was saying to us through this and believe He was confirming to us that the Holy Spirit, himself, will light spiritual fires in homes around the nations. Three weeks later, I woke up to hear the words “Keep the Home Fires Burning!” as we prepared for a gathering later that day. Significantly Pam Bugden then arrived with the card pictured above.
Our homes can be outposts of heaven – houses that have the potential to change the world around them. Homes where we meet together with Him in an interactive way where everyone participates as we share our concerns for one another and our love for Him. Homes where there is corporate responsibility. Homes where an official leader is not demoted – but rather everyone else is promoted and Jesus is our Head. Homes where we hear and obey His voice, regardless of our comfort zones, as we follow Mary’s wise words in John 2:5 when she said, “Whatever He says to you – do it!” Homes that represent all the generations as we share our strengths and shore up our weaknesses. Safe Places where the home fires are burning.
Thank you Hugh and Ginny for drawing our attention to what the Lord wants us to prepare for and to go and do…

A week ago today Lana Vawser, whose messages have been featured by the Australian Prophetic Council, blogged:
“This morning I had a vision and I was taken up above the United States of America and I could see the enemy and demonic forces with all his schemes and plots to stir up darkness across the United States.
“As I am watching the enemy and his demons attempting to stir up these whirlwinds of darkness across the nation, suddenly my vision became very focused and ‘zoomed’ in.
“I saw children kneeling beside their bed crying out to Jesus on behalf of their nation. I watched as the children prayed and I saw Jesus standing beside them. They were having encounters with Jesus and the Lord was sharing messages from His heart concerning the heart of the nation….’
Continue reading in United States of America – Surprised by Fire, wherein Lana ‘then saw other lights flickering and appearing all across the USA. These were youth and adults and they were praying for the nation and seeking the heart of God.
“Suddenly there was a thunderous roar from heaven and I saw fire falling and it was sweeping through all the areas where these flickering lights were. It was a rapid move of His fire. As the fire of God swept through…“
Yesterday I learned about a prophetic word brought by Irene Brooks in Horsham, England, relating to previous words/dreams on wells/rivers of Holy Spirit’s water. AND she confirms the above word from Lana by writing,
“I was praying for the USA one morning when I saw a wonderful, huge explosion of multi-colored sparks scattering over all the nations of the earth. It looked like a great firework display with its epicenter in the heart of the nation, in Kansas, but it was drawing in people from across the US…”
Read Irene’s message in full at Rivers of Life: The Lord says, “I Am Bringing Together Many Streams”. (Notice the resonance with that about grape clusters providing new wine and which stirred Thomas Harry, as in my previous post.)
I’d recommend reading both messages in full to digest better and weigh with the Lord. May He bless the meditations of your heart in so doing…

Thomas Harry, compiler of ‘Word for 2016 – New Season – Building on the Apostolic & Prophetic’ (as blogged here) contacted me about inklings he’s been sensing. The first relates to the vision Jean Darnall received in 1967, which she recounts as follows:
“…And what I saw was the British Isles, as in a bird’s eye view. A kind of haze was over the whole, like a green fog. And then little pinpricks of light began to appear from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then the Lord seemed to draw me closer to these lights, and I saw that they were fires that were burning. They were multiplying from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then I saw lightening come and strike those fires, the brightest spots particularly, and there was a kind of explosion, and rivers of fire flowed down. Again, the sense of direction was from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. But some of those rivers of fire didn’t stop there. They went right across the Channel and didn’t stop there. They went right across the Channel and spread out into the Continent….”
And so Thomas writes:
‘Just thought I would share 2 things I came across these last few days.
‘I had been feeling that we will soon see the outbreak of the move of the Spirit we are all believing for and then read this from Jean Darnall and felt it was a case of “Phase One begins”: [to read full account click on this sub-head]
The Lord impressed it on my Heart that those fires I saw were groups of people whom He would make intensely hungry for New Testament Christianity. They would start reading their Bibles and saying, for instance, as they read the book of Acts, ‘Well, where is this happy church? Where are these people so full of the power of the Holy Spirit? Where are these miracles? Where is this growth, this vitality, this courage, this boldness that these people had? Is that for today – can we have it today? Should the church be this way?’
And as these questions were being planted in their hearts, the Lord Jesus said He would make them very hungry for the Holy Spirit; He would fill them with the Holy Spirit, and out of those gifts would flow ministries that would enrich the Body of Christ. The whole concept of the Body of Christ would come alive, and barriers between denominations and different types of Christians would break down as people met each other. The Lord said He would move these people all over the country. After he had taught them gifts, he would move them to another place where they would carry that fire, and where they would meet others also who were being renewed by the Holy Spirit. He would put them in different situations from what they were used to, so that they would get to know people of other denominations, other cultures and other classes, and be able to communicate to them the blessings that the Lord had given them. And then He told me that during that time He would also test them. There would be great testing of faith, great waiting times. He would teach them spiritual warfare. He would show them the meaning of the power of the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
[RB: Amen – let Phase One begin! Continue reading Phase Two: The Coming of the Lightning wherein Jean says, “Then I asked the Lord, ‘What does the lightning stand for?’ And he said, ‘Unlike the first part, in which I will be speaking to Christians and preparing My church and renewing it and reviving the saints, the lightning represents a second part of the vision, in which I will bring a spiritual awakening to the nation that will be a witness to the unsaved, to the ‘un-churched’, to the non-Christian. Through these believers I will bring a witness to this land. They will be an army of witnesses. And I will begin to release their ministries so that when they give their testimonies there will be apostolic signs following and accompanying their testimonies…”]
No. 2 – Also in further confirmation of the word on Apostolic & Prophetic I (Thomas) read this yesterday (Easter Monday, 28 March):
The New Wine Will Be Found in the Cluster
This is not like the past where the thought was, “Let’s all go to Pensacola, or Toronto, or Lakeland, or Kansas City, or Charlotte, London, Redding, Brazil, or South Africa.” No! Instead the Holy Spirit is moving upon many geographical locations, many congregations and ministries, with great diversity and empowerment all at the same time! Praise the Lord!
Isaiah 65:8 Thus says the Lord, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is benefit in it’…”
This is a fresh form of team ministry today! What I am seeing taking place in these new moves of the Holy Spirit breaking out is something different. It is not centered around one person. It is not centered around one church or ministry. It is not centered around one geographical sphere. It is not centered around just one apostolic hub. It is not centered around one manifestation. (Photo via James Goll)
It is a time of both new wine and new wineskins. Mark 2:22 states, “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.” It is a time when prophetic revelation cooperates with apostolic application.
These times require a fresh understanding of covenant relationships and community as this generation arises out of self-centered individualistic ministry mindsets and seeks the common good of the Body of Christ. Divine Alliances are being formed resulting in greater progress being accomplished.
This fresh work of the Holy Spirit is occurring as the “cluster anointing” comes to pass when the new wine skins are formed to hold and pour out the new wine of His contagious presence.’
[This is part of a fuller word, It’s Time for the Convergence of the Ages – Jesus Saves The Best For Last, as delivered by James Goll on 18 March and continues below:
This New Wine carries with it the Best of ingredients of the Past to usher us into the Greater Presence and Anointing. The ingredients include the manifestation of the Pentecostal Fire, the Healing and Deliverance Crusades, the Latter Rain Glory Realm, the Evangelical Burden for the Lost, the Charismatic Gifts, the Jesus People Zeal, the Third Wave Theological Credibility, the Revelation of the Prophetic Movement and the relational networking of the Apostolic Reformation.
These graces shall all merge together into a tidal wave that will be greater than the impact of the “Great Reformation” of 500 years ago. We are living in the times of the beginning of a historic 4th Wave carrying the distinctive of “transformation.” We will shift from a short-timers mind-set into building in such a manner that we leave behind a lineage and legacy
This will ultimately create what could be called The Great Transformation.
Today we are living in the “Convergence of the Ages.” The Holy Spirit is taking the best of all the anointing of the movements of the past and bringing these ingredients together for such a time as this. Today we have the greatest Global Prayer Movement, Schools of the Supernatural abound, we have Fathers and Mothers and Grandfathers and Grandmothers of the faith to help guide the coming generations. Today we have “new wine” and “new wineskins” prepared for the Harvest!
It is Harvest Time once again. Let’s believe that something greater than the Jesus People Movement is coming forth. It is the time for the Joining of the Generations. It is time! ]

Since posting Not blogging but the Lord confirms the current theme last October, I’ve been increasingly reminded of those spiritual fires. I didn’t know that the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation had reverted to quoting its founder Bishop Morris Maddocks’ objective of 30 years ago, namely:
‘Igniting beacons of Healing and Wholeness’!
I’d been entirely ignorant of all that when I’d been prompted to introduce myself a year ago to the new director Revd Wes Sutton, and hesitatingly share some prophetical visions and notions, including a possible relevance of the Jean Darnall vision. He told me not only did Acorn’s founder have that vision in mind, but also that their incumbent chaplain had ministered with Jean many years ago!
Sunrise Over Montego Bay, Jamaica
An hour before sunrise last Sunday (had it been the previous day that would have been already happening!), Simon Braker writes in School of the Prophetic Leicester…
The Lord spoke to me this morning and said –
It is no coincidence that resurrection Sunday falls on the same day as the clocks change in the UK for British summer time, for surely the long winter in my church in this land is over and a new season is upon you, the season of singing has come, the resurrection song of the lamb is over this land,
For even as the first signs of Spring are beginning to break forth in the natural, so the first signs of a new Spring has begun in my church and in this Land, for I say to you,
as the season has shifted in the natural so it has shifted in the spiritual,
The spring rains of my Spirit have started a fresh outpouring of my Spirit has begun,
Watch and see, this year is a land mark year a staging post a crossing over point out of the old and into the new,
I then saw drops of water falling upon blotting paper once these drops hit they spread across the paper until it was saturated, then I saw it was a map of the UK.
The Lord said – I have entrance points being built all over this land where my Spirit has already began to breakout these will multiply and grow,
It will not be contained by stream or denomination but every place that hungry and thirsty people gather I will come!
If you will make space and put down your plans I will come!
If you will humble your hearts I will come!
If you will simply gather I will come!
And if you will go I shall come!
This refreshing is not just for my church but for this whole land,
In this season there will be stories of my Spirit breaking out in work place, classroom, on streets and in churches in every place people are!
Amen, and thank you Lord. I note the reiteration that revival is “going to come as we go” – as brought by Heidi Baker on A New Move of God in the UK.
Also that same morning, over the Pond and beyond the great plains and into the depths of the Sonora desert in Tucson, a contributor to this blog had a profound dream of An Eagle and A Scroll and hence confirmed my re-blogging of Scroll of Destiny.
This from Lana Vawser of the Australian Prophetic Council follows a recent one, The Heart Of The USA Is Groaning. Today’s ‘update’ aptly follows my previous post of our Father telling Patsy Southway, “My heart is global” and begins:
‘This morning I had a vision where I saw a HUGE angel, he stood so tall and so wide and I saw him leave the throne room of heaven on the Lord’s command and head towards the earth. I saw this angel come towards the nation of the United States of America. As I watched I saw it land with one of its feet on the West Coast and the other foot on the East Coast.
‘When it landed, between the span of his legs and his wings the entire nation of the United States was covered. Instantly I felt the atmosphere get thick and heavy in the most glorious way, the presence of God was so tangible…’

A week ago this morning, last week got kick-started before I was even awake! It was an eventful dream, which I’ll relate shortly.
In fact, someone had already tried getting in touch in connection with the dream! That may seem astonishing but this sort of coincidence isn’t at all unusual. ‘God-incidents’ always make me rejoice for we have a God of surprises.
When I got around to checking the weekend’s email one near the top of my in-tray was from the senior leader of Falkirk Full Gospel Church in Scotland, Thomas Harry. In view of what I’d dreamt his message stunned me!…It reads:
‘URGENT: Word for 2016 – New Season – Building on the Apostolic & Prophetic’
“I have attached an urgent word from the Lord that has had an overwhelming number of confirmations…regarding the new season we are in and ensuring we build on the biblical foundation of the Apostles and Prophets found in Ephesians 2:20.
“It has been confirmed by respected Christian leaders globally and the document includes 10 confirmations including from Catherine Brown, Sharon Stone, Cindy Jacobs, Peter Wagner & others.
“This will affect us all one way or another, so I felt it was vital I shared with someone like you. Most of us realize there’s a great move of God coming and the Lord wants to ensure we have our foundations and houses ready for this …’
“I believe it signals the biggest shift in the church since the reformation…”
I agree with Thomas that this prophetic consensus warrants church-wide circulation to leaders and congregations for serious consideration and weighing with the Lord.
To read the full document use this link to ‘Word for 2016…’ and scroll for downloading it as a Word or pdf document. More easily, however, read it courtesy of James Bailey with extensive comments on his Z3News by clicking here.
Thomas’ document begins:
‘The Lord has confirmed that the church as a whole has shifted to a new season and consequently we must build on the Apostolic and Prophetic foundation laid out in Ephesians 2:20. The attached document has been collated by Thomas Harry, through the leading of the Holy Spirit in order to communicate this word to the global church. Due to the urgent nature of this word, please circulate this to believers and leaders both here in the UK and beyond. I urge every believer and leader to take the time to read through this as it is certainly one of the most important words for the church in many years.’
I’m grateful to Thomas for kindly quoting a couple of items from this blog. Furthermore, we know from recent posts there are many more confirmations than those he quotes. (Not to mention the content of daily Lion Bites from Glasgow Prophetic Centre.)
Moreover, this blog’s A New Era for the Church lists over 40 prophetical promises made before November 2014 and building up over the following year; presumably leading to a tipping point!
A Revival-related Dream
The dream I’d had a few hours before reading his email was this.:
A crowd that I supposed had come from a church were milling around and confused. One man of some standing sharply accused me, “You’re not a Christian”. Upon my addressing that issue the scene changed and time seemed to pass, as though the dream’s earlier part was about historical events.
At one point my spectacle lens is about to fall out and so I use my special screwdriver to adjust and tighten it. (This symbolises a change in clarity of vision in order to understand the dream’s meaning – and what was about to unfold!)
Then I find I’m looking into large hall inside a building – the ceiling’s not visible but I sense it’s open to the heavens(!) The distant walls resemble many side chapels in a large cathedral. One is noticeable and commemorates the period of Celtic saints in pre-Catholic British church.
And NOW – actually whilst typing – I’m getting distinct ripples and chills down my neck as Heather Clark sings, “For the Lord our God He is holy…holy, holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty…” in her distinctive rendition of Exalt The Lord. (‘Glorious Praise’ cd.)
The hall in my dream is jam-packed with excited believers, quite the opposite of the earlier scenes. Someone nearby holds his Bible to his mouth (signifying not only he will speak in accordance with scripture but also as led by the Lord; ie. with full prophetic anointing). And so I understand he’s going to preach with a holy unction….
But then the alarm goes off!
The dream’s impact left a lingering impression. So I chuckled upon reading our morning prayer focus from Keep Praying and Bless. The day’s scripture is 1 Chronicles 16:29,
“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His Name!
We decree that a day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
After the daily prayer of blessing for our family, friends, locality and that day’s particular city came its specific blessing:
“We bless the nation to receive a spirit of worship, to give glory and honour to Almighty God, that His Glorious Name be praised by all men.“
How appropiate – even more so when I read Thomas’ email.
May you too be mightily blessed…
Posted on School of the Prophetic Leicester 8th March:
Over the last few weeks I’ve found the number 5 has been popping up all over the place and then finally my wife and I were eating a meal at table 55.
I already felt the Lord was speaking about grace but this second 5 has opened the word of the Lord.
I heard him say the second wave of my Spirit has begun, this is a season of visitation, it is a time of encounter all who are thirsty shall be filled (Isa 55) this is a time to enter in and drink deep of the fresh release of my presence.
Many will be visited in the night, many will experience my presence in new ways. The last move was Holy joy and laughter the sign of this move shall be holy tears, many will weep in the outpouring of my glory.
At the start of the year these verses from Song of Songs have been highlighted to me –
5:2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. There’s a sound! My beloved is knocking.
5:3 “I’ve taken off my clothes—am I supposed to put them on again? I’ve washed my feet—am I supposed to get them dirty again?”
5:4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch. My feelings for him were aroused.
5:5 I got up to open the door, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handle of the lock.
5:6 I opened the door for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away; he was gone! My very life went out when he departed. I searched for him, but couldn’t find him. I called out to him, but he didn’t answer
It’s only as I write that I notice these verses are in chapter 5 and most importantly what is written in 5:5 –
5:5 I got up to open the door
This highlights what I feel is a major key at this time, as God’s people we must respond, when he calls we must open the door to him for him to come in, it would be very easy for us to be settled in our current location and not respond got his call for us to leave our current realms of comfort.
It is time for the bride to rise from her bed to arise from her sleepiness respond to the Lord’s voice and enter into the great awakening!
Notes:
On 12th January Doug Addison published 2016: Get Ready for Realignments and New Assignments, which refers to a cyclical activity of the Lord throughout the 20th Century. It just so happens that early posts on this blog may confirm his thesis.
To read the full word Doug brings, click its above title. After mentioning major adjustments for many folk in how we regard and operate in church, this word covers a number of matters at length. He refers to an encounter on Christmas Day which gave him an insight into Bob Jones’ ‘Lumber-yard Experience’. Also, leading up to that Doug sensed a “distant rumble in the spirit” of the Lord coming and that His “glory is returning like never before”(!), adding this noteworthy caveat: “It is not coming in the current Church structure, though churches are invited“. Another of the several details of this word is that keys of authority have been reassigned….“God is lining things up for a breakthrough in March!”
Now here’s what’s of special relevance. Doug explains,
“Why 2016 Could Be The Start Of Something New
“The last global movement of God’s power started 22 years ago this month in January 1994 with the Toronto Blessing. It was very powerful and lasted a few years [over 10! RB] but was eventually spoken against and some major leaders disassociated themselves with it. This caused division and even brought judgment on the ministries and churches of those who spoke against what God was doing. This amazing move of God got bound by people with keys and authority and the result is that we have not seen a sustained global movement of God for 22 years. This is related to the keys that I saw being redistributed.
“There has been a move of God every 11 years dating back to the Azusa Street Revival in 1906. The 11-year intervals fall on the 1950 Healing Movement, the 1961 Charismatic Renewal, the 1972 Jesus People Movement and in 1983, the Third Wave Charismatic Movement. 1994 had the Toronto Blessing and 11 years later there would have been a movement that actually did start around 2005. But this amazing movement from God never got off the ground because of judgments. It was cut short, judged and bound by those with the keys of authority. The 2005 move started with unusual signs of God’s glory such as gold fillings appearing in people’s mouths, gold dust and gemstones appearing supernaturally in meetings. But the move never went global as God intended and was very limited. It is now 11 years after 2005, which is 2016 and there is a move of God coming this year. It will be with fire and oil from Heaven that cannot be touched by those who have not been prepared. This is what I saw in my Christmas morning encounter—an angel measuring for it and worker angels being assigned to bring it about.”
Being my birthday’s date, the opening reference to ’22’ naturally caught my attention right away (as well as being the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet). Next, Doug’s count of 11 years reminded me I’d written about the same periodicity soon after starting this blog. (Anyone who took up my 7th Anniversary hint to check the outlines in Cycles & Time will be ready for what’s below.)
[Also, Paul Keith Davis has said 11 years after the birth of modern Pentecostalism in 1885 at Bethshan Conference on Holiness and Healing in London, saw the publication in 1896 of Theodore Herzl’s famous call, The Jewish State. That year also saw Alexander Dowie commission his apostolic church calling for a return to an apostolic period”; see ‘Days of Wonder’, August 2014.]
Other 11-year Cycles
On 5th January 2012 in Points to ponder: 2011-12 and Biblical historical/financial cycles I introduced my first readers to The White House accredited Christian correspondent William Koenig (Bio here) and his deep investigation of the work of Erik Hadik. Briefly outlining the nature of cycles I referred to their effects not only upon the environment but also upon our political and economical activity. For example, the cycle of conflict in the Middle-East corresponds closely with the 11-year sunspot cycle.
For almost 20 years this publisher of Koenig World Watch Daily and weekly Koenig’s Eye View from the White House has monitored important matters relating to Israel and likely connections with Biblical teaching and prophecy. That is, the simultaneous, or following closely, linkage between the way Israel is treated and various upheavals elsewhere has been found to be highly probable.
Moreover, a database of empirical evidence amassed from business affairs and observing international events gives a firm foundation for theories of cyclical influences.
Later that year, in concluding Paws 4 thought: weather quakes and cycles I referred again to Erik’s findings and quoted specifics on that 11-year period, as cited by Bill:
Hadik claims the above dates are, in fact, preceded by those for the Palestine mandate (1922) and Hitler’s ascension (1933). Furthermore, there is a 50/100 year cycle of major wars. He cites the Napoleonic war of 1812, US Civil War (1861-65), the Balkan Wars of 1912 as the real start of WWI, 1961-2 Cuban missile crisis and SE Asian wars. 2012 next! (Source: page 5 of Hadik’s Earth in Transition 3+3 II.)
An Accurate 11-year Forecast
On 5th September 2012 Bill hit the nail of the head! I blogged about receiving his News Alert forecasting another ‘historical day’ in connection with Israel, militant Islam and the USA. It was headed:
On 11th September 2012, the American embassy in Egypt and consulate in Libya were besieged by Islamist mobs. This led to the cold-blooded murder of Ambassador Stevens and three consular staff in Benghazi. Hence, the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attack in New York became another date in infamy for the Middle-East.
Conclusion
So, in view of a demonstrable historical record for the 11-year cycle we can validate and give credence to Doug Addison’s claim about the importance of 2016 as another ‘peak’ in activity of a spiritual 11-year cycle. It is one to rejoice over rather than despair over…
Thank and praise you Lord for your mercy and grace and what You’re doing in the earth.
Further Reading:
Upon reading the earlier of these words last week I recalled and sensed a deeper meaning of a dream from a couple of weeks beforehand. The dream featured a large tarn, or lake, at the top of an extensive grassy fell (as in Lake District) that started overflowing to run over my boots and gush down to and start flooding a level area not far below the crest.
Thank you to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival’s Suzanne Payne for alerting me to this from Patsy, and that recently at Revival Fires, Dudley, Chuck Pierce had said it’s time to declare “Spring up o’ wells!”. Also that last year there, David Herzog had a word about re-digging the wells.
For a map of locations of spiritual wells visit Michael Marcell’s website UK Wells. To read the originals of the following click on their titles:
RE-OPENING THE WELLS (posted: 2nd March 2016)
Last year, whilst in Europe God spoke to me about WELLS. Everywhere I visited at that time, even an Italian restaurant, had a Well, in the Ladies toilets! These last few days he has been speaking to me again about the Wells and I’ve had such a battle to get this blogged up, I’ve decided to press on with it!
Genesis 26:18
‘Issac reopened the wells of his father Abraham, the ones the Philistines had filled after his fathers death and gave them the same names that they had before, when his father had named them.’
Abraham had dug wells to find water and to open a ‘source of blessing’ for the people. Everyone needs water. We need water, animals, lands, plants etc all need water. So in those days to (and in many countries today) a Well is of the utmost importance.
We read that after Abraham’s death the Philistines had filled the wells in, to stop the flow, stop the blessing of this source of life, to the people. But Issac reopened these wells and once again everyone and everything is refreshed!
This is what I was sensing in all this:
1. If we know that there was, a well, a flow, even a trickle, of something of the flow of heaven, of life in an area (place) a village, town, city wherever that the enemy has ‘filled in’ stopping the flow, I would encourage you to gather a few people and uncap the well – remove the stones that the enemy has used to fill it with.
2. In your personal life maybe that flow, that well within has somehow become a bit dry, maybe now just a trickle when it used to be a flow! But due to circumstances, difficult places on your journey your heart may have drifted away from God and you have drank from ‘other springs’.
Come back! Return to Him and drink from those living waters that give us that LIFE in
abundance! John 10:10
I saw many people beginning to meet around these wells. In homes, where families gather together and in other places where friends and family were authentic, honest, just plain real!! To be themselves and to grow in the knowledge of God, the things of the Kingdom.
Last week God also spoke to me about ‘The Meltdown’ that’s happening, globally, and I could see some ‘streams’ flowing into a larger river. I saw an even greater coming together to work together in the plans and purposes of God.
I also saw great gatherings of women, embracing other woman, teaching, releasing, imparting and so on, and I could see a HUGE cloud had been made by their PRAYERS & INTERCESSIONS hovering and brooding over NATIONS!
Lastly, I understand, I believe I understand, that the opening up of Old wells will not be releasing the same ‘old’ flow, but a FRESH flow that Father has been preparing our hearts for. I see the wells, as places of previous ‘Heaven touching Earth’ flow and places where people came to drink. I also see that many of these places have been saturated in prayer and are ripe for release once again.
So…….let’s drink, and rise up, even as the battle rages, we will continue to see the release of the Kingdom of Heaven upon the earth.
Let every knee bow! Glory to God!
THE MELTDOWN (posted 25 February 2016)
As I was praying and walking on Thursday I took a small video of the snow melting off the trees. I was walking in a National Park that was eerily quiet at the time and as I stood to record this moment God spoke to me. He said there is a great ‘Melt Down’ happening in the NATIONS at this time. (Initially I was thinking Europe) but he said the nations.
The snow and Ice is melting and everything is being exposed. Some of the trees were simply ‘winter bare’ after the snow had melted. For many, God has had to prune, to cut back, during our last season in PREPARATION for what he wants to take us into this year.
Also, with all this melting, in the natural realm the rivers are FULL and OVERFLOWING so it is with the Supernatural realm – there is an OVERFLOW happening. God is causing our lives to SPILL over into other areas and arenas.
For me personally he is causing connections in the BUSINESS arena too. Although this is embryonic at the time of writing, I see the overflow particularly with the Prophetic giftings flowing with ‘an arrow touching the bullseye’ type accuracy into Business Forums.
I saw ruined buildings being restored and used for the Kingdom of God. I saw again the Prophetic Hubs and the ‘Fireplaces’ that God spoke to me about last year, where ‘families’ will gather together and love, learn, encourage, pray, prophesy and support one another.
As I continued to walk and pray through the woodland God also said that there is a ‘MELTDOWN’ of the enemies strongholds. As we continue to PRAY & PROPHESY over the nations I could SEE that exposure after exposure of the enemies strategies and plans will surface.
RESPONSIBILITY
I saw that our responsibility is to CHOOSE to BELIEVE – and to LEAN IN and walk the John 5:19 LIFESTYLE that Jesus walked in. That’s a BIG call!
Personally to arrive here in Prague with NO AGENDA but just to walk in whatever was on His heart for these 10 days, is a NEW thing for me.
We often talk about ‘New Things’ one of my founding verses is from Isaiah 43:18/19 that God wants to do but our responsibility is to be FLEXIBLE and to remain ‘FLUID’ to the promptings of Holy Spirit.
KEYS
In my previous blog (copy here) I spoke about the KEYS that God was showing me. And I have been using these for myself and in the lives of others to UNLOCK the opening of the NEW!
I certainly have had my challenges since I’ve been here – the enemy does not want the Kingdom of Heaven to invade the Earth! We know that! But it’s too late it has been happening for years and will continue to happen until Jesus comes!
A CHALLENGE FOR YOU
What needs unlocking in your life right now?
A location, finances, business, employment, promotion, creativity? I encourage you to take the KEYS that HE is offering; as this MELTDOWN continues and to UNLOCK and BELIEVE again the things that God has promised.
I firmly believe that this year 2016 will be such an ‘ALIGNMENT YEAR’ where we SEE the plans and strategies of heaven being released upon the earth with such an explosive power we will be in awe of His LOVE – His MERCY – and His GRACE.
GLORY TO GOD!
