To ‘bong’ or not to ‘bong’? That’s the Big Ben question as the nation waits…

August is renowned as the ‘silly season’ for odd and weird stories because of the holiday period’s dearth of normal, newsworthy events. Yesterday’s banner headline shown below seems simply part of that season because of the Health & Safety aspects – but that belies the status of a significant symbol of our nation’s identity.

The disruption of our famous clock’s mechanism strikes at our heart but not necessarily for the reasons stated in the Telegraph, its editorial and news of MPs’ anger at being kept in the dark over details of the proposed work!  [Today: Theresa May says “It can’t be right for Big Ben to be silenced for four years”.]

Regular readers of this blog are well aware not only of Big Ben’s symbolic importance but also and more especially of the many words and dreams about it at the prophetical ‘midnight hour’. So whatever the outcome of the present rumpus, it won’t surprise the Lord for He could be in the discussions and use them to bring about His purposes, or else work around them to achieve His sovereign will for Britain, thereby getting us fully ‘in sync’ with His will. (As in the word for 2014-16 brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone in her ‘Clarion Call’.)

Tuesday 15 August ‘Final’ morning broadsheet edition (tap for digital version)

It wasn’t until later yesterday that I caught up with news and activity on this blog and was very pleased to notice a number of past posts had shot into the popular posts listing. So, I stuck them temporarily to the home page for quick reference and now replace them with this post.

A summary of some points which may be applicable should thus prove useful:

  • R Piercey 2016-17 – “…Interesting in view of the picture I received some years ago of the Lion of Judah hovering over Big Ben; his huge paw was about to hit the clock face, where the hands pointed at 2 minutes to midnight. (I somehow knew it was midnight rather than midday).” …I believe it’s now important to share more widely what Rosemary added. Upon phoning for permission to publish today she responded without any hesitation, “Absolutely! now’s the time!”…“A few notes on the picture that hit me this morning. Someone whose opinion I value gave me a word a few weeks ago that I was a General in the King’s army; this morning I was led to read the story of Gideon again, and was reminded of his requests from God for signs. I then asked the Lord for a sign that would confirm whether or not the “General” word was true. After a short time a very vivid picture came to me of a huge bowl suspended on 3 chains above the Houses of Parliament; the bowl swung in the winds of secularism and resulting godless laws. I felt the Lord saying that this was a bowl of his wrath, which of course is a recurrent theme in the Bible – bowl, cup etc. This is not to negate in any way the positive prophecies we are receiving; many of us know that the spiritual atmosphere has changed, and we are seeing remarkable answers to prayer in our country. Nevertheless we are also called to repent, especially for what has happened in the churches, and I feel a huge urgency for this; we are in danger of losing the blessings if we are simply going to rest on the blessings. This is vitally important and I feel there is no time to lose; the bowl is tipping, and we could feel the results at any time.”
  • RB/TPuccio, Feb 2017 – ‘Today, as I prepare this compilation I draw Tony’s attention to Rosemary’s reminder on the previous blog of her picture of Big Ben and he asks for my ‘take’ on this and “What’s the Lord saying to you?” Well I didn’t have time to even think and ask Him, but was just running with my spirit’s ‘gut instinct’ as a ‘joiner of prophetic dots’ (as Glasgow calls me). So I reply that I’m busy compiling this account and will seek Him later – BUT then get a quick nudge to add, “‘…immediate thought as I type is, “It’s warning of the Lord’s Return!” ie. not long now! Tony replies, “Indeed! It would seem that the midnight hour is upon us.”
  • T Puccio March 2017 – “I had another dream about Big Ben only this time I saw it arise from the clock face on the ground to  its original height, perhaps even taller. I remember hearing it bonging, however, it did not cease as one would have expected when it had chimed the hour of the day but was a continual bonging. Then I saw people in beds asleep and I perceived that the bonging was to awaken from slumber those who were sleeping.’  
  • C Shamp June 2017 – Keep your eyes upon Big Ben something supernatural is about to be seen. As I was praying today I was taken to Big Ben in London, England. I heard the Lord say, “My eye is upon this land and my hand upon the nation’s time, a kairos moment is about to come! I will cause a sign to come from Big Ben that will mark the moment that I have changed the time and season for the nation of England and the city of London. Everything will stop and people will turn to see and hear. Tell my people to mark the moment when it comes to pass for it will be sign of great change in the land.”

Please note full historical listing including relevance to the 2005 & 2017 terrorist attacks plus informative contributions in Dreams & Visions of Big Ben at the Midnight Hour. Also consider reading, Significant Timing of Planned Stoppage of Big Ben.

Let us take all those words received and delivered to the Lord in prayer and wait upon Him.

Lastly, it’s particularly fascinating the change in the clock’s chiming set for 21st August is one month to the day before Rosh Hashana, the ‘head of year’ for Jewish New Year 5778, with its unconnected relevance to Biblical End-times prophesied in  1 Thess 5:3 – ‘(The Day of the Lord will come…) while people are saying “Peace and Safety”…!!  

More on this another time…

Prophetic visions of renewal for the Church in Britain

As with all prophetic words and visions this is for prayer and weighing with the Lord. It is brought by Yinka Oyekan, Senior Minister of The Gate church, Reading, courtesy of UK Prophetic Words:

PROPHETIC VISIONS FOR THE CHURCH

Extraordinary dream and Prophetic vision this morning 5th August:

Last night I had the most amazing dream and it continued in a Prophetic vision this morning. “I love my children”, father said; “My heart breaks and longs for communion with every one of my children”.

I saw the new hunger and a great awakening in the church. And father said to me

“I have made my will clear; I have trumpeted my purposes, and I’m gathering my sons and daughters who will attend to the will of the chief shepherd before they attempt to attend to the needs of the sheep. Many are lost, broken without a shepherd; millions are desperately seeking me and deserving of me, oh that the bride would make herself ready. I have humbled my church and now I will rebuild her, and she will wear white garments, and be clothed with my glory.”

I saw small communities which seemed unimportant to man but were important to God and filled with glory and their pastors who had poured out their lives for the sake of these seemingly unimportant communities, father says,

“Your reward is coming; be patient; you were hidden but now your works will be revealed by God, you might be small but you have always been important to me.

“The prayers of many princes of the church have been received, I have seen their tears and cries for mercy, But some had their ears covered; they would not hear; they would not see; they would not repent”;

heaven reminds you that he is still in the business of removing lampstands; repent so that times of refreshing and healing may come from heaven.

I saw those who are standing in the outpouring receiving new graces of healing, of mercy, graces of deliverance and of the prophetic; so many graces been poured out and father says,

“Align yourself; position yourself; gather all the lame, the sick, the dispossessed, the aliens and I will fill that place with such a sense of liberty the nations will hear about it, for where my spirit is I bring freedom.”

I saw father fitting feet with golden shoes; I saw them running as fast as lightning. I woke up this morning from an extraordinary dream in which father said he’s renewing the church and then laid out before me these extraordinary visions; my mind was racing with images that were so profound; I spent the last two hours in prayer for our church for our leadership teams; I encourage you to do the same for yours; it’s time to seek the face of God afresh.

Greater London – An Awakening of Fire

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

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

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

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

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

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

But the spirit of the Lord says this:

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

And the Lord says,

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

And the Lord says,

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

And the Lord says,

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

Selah!

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

Is this an Awakening? An update from Greater London

More exciting news about the ‘London area awakening’ – Michael Marcell writes:

Click/tap for link for ‘Welcome’ to the church

IS THIS AN AWAKENING?

I consider this to be the most important email/post I have ever written.

I can hardly believe that the first stage of what I have been praying for for 20 years has finally arrived. I am so thankful to God for lighting a fire at Capstone Church, Ilford.

Here are two prophetic words within an hour –

What is happening there is a sacred move of God. In His wisdom He has lit the fire in an out of the way place in East London; in a small church made up mainly of people of Indian ethnicity.

I guess this might offend some people, as one might have expected God to move first in a nice church full of Anglo Saxons. However, God is wiser than we are! Rakesh and Preethy Kurian have experienced revival in India and they came to this nation for one reason and one reason only (two if you count God telling them) – Revival!

The Kurians are a wonderful couple, who are prepared to give everything they have (and they have done so in the past) for revival. They realise that there is a large cost for hosting a move of God – money (the one in San Diego costs £750,000 a year); exhaustion and a potentially a lot of criticism and opposition, but they have said ‘yes’ to God. I had been to this church many times before this move started 5 weeks ago. It was and is a church full of love. The people to a man (or woman), were and are hungry and passionate for God. I have not seen that amount of love and passion anywhere before. In addition the worship always brings in the presence of God. Capstone might be difficult to get to, but I understand exactly why God has chosen this church to reside in.

God has done His bit, but whether or not it develops into what this nation desperately needs – an awakening – is up to us. It is up to us to visit and receive what is on offer and then return home to start another fire. It is up to us to go out into the streets to release His glory and bring people to Christ. It is up to us to help pray for this move of God.

So why is it that relatively few people have visited Capstone in the last 5 weeks to drink the new wine?

– ‘busyness’ is the main reason I have heard. May I suggest that this is a season to cancel things to enable us to get to these meetings. We have been waiting 20+ years for something like this; are we going to be so busy that we have no time for the new wine of God?

– ‘too difficult to get to’ comes a close second. As I mentioned above, it is God who chose this out of the way place. Some people have come from Glasgow, Sheffield, Macclesfield and Leeds, and one person travels 600 miles per week to get to the meetings.

– some people are watching online. This is absolutely great; I understand 3,000+ are watching each night from all around the world. Definitely, one receives that way, but there is nothing like going to the well.

– some are happy doing what they do for God and do not need any more. Might I suggest that many people are doing good things for God, but not the best. I believe that this is a new season and it is a time for many to leave the old wine skin behind and taking up the new. May I suggest it is a time for laying our ministries on the altar and saying to God, do you still want me to carry on with this or have you something new for me?

The only way we are going to get our nation out of this awful place is to bring people to the Lord. This move of God is about Presence, Presence, Presence. If we carry His presence wherever we go; few will be able to resist Him. We have the opportunity to go to these meetings to be filled up so we can then take it to the streets and release it. Please, please do not let this outpouring pass you by. It may be gone in a day, a week, a year; we do not know.

During the 1994 outpouring plane-loads of people went over to Toronto to receive and then release it in the UK. However, the people of Toronto hardly went to the meetings. Please don’t let that happen here in London or in the UK. God is offering us something; I urge you to receive it and then change our nation.

RB Footnote:

After watching live streaming last Saturday I had an unusually vivid dream of visiting a packed chapel in North Wales with the Holy Spirit powerfully affecting everyone. It was related not only to my being taken to that area as a young child but also to the work of Arthur Burt there and the “No Ebb” prophecy he carried, which the American prophet Bob Jones said would be released now he’s passed to glory. (Read Who is Arthur Burt? – Bob Jones on ArthurA clarification from Arthur Burt’s daughter).

Arrival of the ‘latter rain’

This word brought by Lisa Arnold comes courtesy of UK Prophetic Words:

THE LORD’S WORD TO THE CHURCH

God has started sending his latter rain.

For those who have prepared themselves, positioned themselves, been through the fire of affliction and are still standing, and to those who have a great burden for the lost, time is short. Open your heart to me and open your eyes. I am the chief cornerstone that the builders rejected, come to me and you will live.

It is time to look up, reach out and win the lost! I have just brought you out of your own prison into my glorious light, into a safe spacious place. Now I am sending you out. Stand on Isaiah 61. I have covered you with my cloak of righteousness and set your heart ablaze. I have empowered you from on high!

It is time for you to rise up out of the ashes. I have set you free by my precious blood. It is not all about you, it is all about Jesus! I am the lion from the tribe of Judah. I am roaring over you and breaking every chain so you know who you really are in me. Make me your first love again and set down your idols! Where your heart is, your treasure is. I love you and I long for that intimacy like we once had. I am visiting you in unusual ways, divine encounters with me up close and sending you angels with messages for you.

The latter rain is starting to fall. It will refresh you and give you clear vision and impact your lives. The best is yet to come. The dark long storm is over! The first will be last and the last first! If you bless others I will bless you.. Now go and reap the harvest!. Are you ready? Can you feel your heart burning for the lost? Time is short and the golden bowl that carries the latter rain is tipping over!

Lisa Arnold, 23rd July 2017

RB’s Note: It was amusing to read this word as I’d only just sent G’morning’ message to Nina staying with daughter, saying I’d watered in the greenhouse and it’s just started to rain! Also timely in having seen Sean MaNamara from Coleraine, a Spirit-led evangelist to ‘hard-core’ on housing estates (as here) locally last night who spoke on his calling and ministered to many youngsters with a calling for the lost. AND earlier that day the ‘cornerstone’ featured as the interpretation to a prophetic vision at Acorn service for healing – sooo praise you Lord for this word:

Washed Away 

Yes please and amen Lord

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I had a dream last night where I saw a preacher standing at a pulpit preaching when all of a sudden a tsunami-like wave appeared and hit him taking both he and the pulpit he was standing at away. There was no evidence that he nor his pulpit were ever there after the wave struck.

What is amazing is that this preacher was in a building preaching when the wave struck which in the natural cannot happen.

A tsunami does not come without an earthquake, a shaking, if you will. After the quake a tsunami warning is issued just as in the case of Japan a few years back.

What I sensed is the preacher standing behind the pulpit was preaching false doctrine. Apparently he ignored the warnings, that the doctrine he was preaching was not of God, and was swept away. One thing I did note is that the…

Shakings and God’s Glory for Britain and America

This word is brought by Chris Bennett, who lives in Rotherham (home-town of Nathan Morris; Shake the Nations ministry’s founder) is the same date as that through Bill Jennings on Shaking and Rebuilding the Church (tap/click title for Chris’ Facebook):

UK & USA – SHAKINGS AND THE GLORY

I sense this is coming to UK AND USA simultaneously. The first wave of revival will be marked by shakings and the Glory of the Lord in our meetings.

Acts 4:31 – And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness’.

There is a new shaking coming. Everything that can be shaken is being shaken, but the Lord is sending a new shaking to encourage rather than a shaking to destroy and throw down. The Lord is sending an Acts 4:31 shaking that when the church prays, the buildings will shake and the people will be encouraged.

I have noticed minor tremors shaking our church and others have noticed similar occurrences in their own church. However, I believe, and I sense that the Lord is sending an unmistakable shaking that will be recognisable and specific to their church, but not to anything around the church.

“I am about to shake your buildings – literally shake them – that you may know that I am moving among you,” says the Lord. “I am about to do amazing things to encourage you; to give you a hunger for more of Me. Your buildings will shake and the sick will be healed. Your buildings will shake and demons will flee, screaming in fear. Your buildings will shake and your people will shout, ‘the Lord, He is God – the Lord, He is God!’ Then My glory will come and you will all know My presence!”

SHAKING and RE-BUILDING the CHURCH in the UK

Thank you Lord and to Bill and UK Prophetic Words for this received yesterday because it confirms my thoughts on heresy and apostasy within the C of E. and thus encouraged publication of Synod sides with satan – risk of Anglican schism/shaking. (NB. emphases and italicising mine).:

I AM GOING TO SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE CHURCH

I saw in my prayer time a vision; I saw a ruler, a plumb-line. As I contemplated this vision, thoughts and understanding came to me as to its meaning. I felt the Lord saying,

“Measure yourselves by my plumb-line. Align yourselves with my Word and my Spirit, for these two together are my plumb-line, these are my spirit-level.”

The traditional, institutional church and its recent decisions on same sex relationships had been on my mind.

I felt the Lord saying,

“Watch and see, as I do a rebuilding of my church. I am going to shake the foundations of the church in your land. The walls are going to rattle the floors will be shaken as I shake off, remove and level those and reject those who have rejected me. Those who have rejected my Word I reject. I am shaking the church out of compromise. The very foundations and structures of the church will be shaken. Many are choosing the broad path, the god of compromise. They have turned my glory into shame. How long will they love delusions? Rather than seek the truth.”

Many scriptures came to my mind, such as , “multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision “. Many leaders, many of the institution of the ‘ church ‘ will have to choose between the path of compromise or the path of conflict. The path of complacency or the path of spiritual fervour. Whether to be loved by the world, or be hated by the world.

“Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you; because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY”…“My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God.”

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap”

I felt the Lord saying,

“This is not a time for rejoicing but a time for weeping and wailing. Look around you, many who call themselves by my name who claim to be my ‘church’ have made an alliance with satan . Their leaders have forgotten the God and Father of their fathers through whom I gave birth .They have spurned and rejected my word so I too spurn and reject them. Measure yourselves by my Word says the Lord; let it be the rule and the plumb-line. If it does not measure up then throw it out! The stones with which I built my house are built on the chief cornerstone, and on the foundation of prophets and apostles. These stones are crying out against those who have contaminated my house, as the contamination spreads the house will have to be torn down.’ The ‘church’, this institution make their decisions and their rules but did they consult me?

“Consider the future as you look at the past, how many of my ‘churches’ did not measure up, or remain ‘true’ as measured by my plumb-line?

“Many are following the traditions of men. Consider the ‘churches’ which are not my church. Are not many of them now lying derelict, have they not been turned into theatre halls, bars and restaurants? They craved after idolatry so I gave them over to their lusts and cravings. But my house will be called Holy! My true and accepted stones are not institutions but they are living stones, inscribed with ‘Holiness unto the Lord’; the filthy, the unregenerate, the sexually immoral, the idolaters will be rejected.

“For I will build my house with the plumb-line of my word and truth and by the Spirit of Holiness, my eternal word does not change.”

I hear the Lord say,

“You cry out for revival but I say cry out in repentance! My house will be called a house of prayer and yet it is through my intercessors and prayer warriors that my Spirit will bring revival through repentance and supplication.

“There is a rumbling, there is a shaking, there is change coming. You who crave revival, consider that with it comes a cost. It comes through sacrifice, with revival comes rejection by some of your peers. The religious among you will spurn you and say evil things about you.”

As I wrote these things down it was like writing a transcript as the thoughts flowed. I filtered the thoughts through my knowledge of scripture.

And I thought Lord, why do you give me the hard words? There are those who will reject this for they want the encouraging words, they want words to make them feel good. They want words of promise and edification. They want words of hope and joy.

And I remembered the scripture: “The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.’”

If the great awakening comes it must be marked out with repentance, changed lives that will put away immoral living who will seek Holiness and separation from the world. Let them come to us to find shelter under our care rather than the church going to the world to be friends. Be friends of sinners, but not friends with sinners. The sinner and the seeker will find love, joy and peace in an uncompromising message, an uncompromising Christ.

“When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.”

Bill Jennings, 18th July, 2017

A ‘now’ word on President Trump from the UK

Thank you UK Prophetic Words and Chris Bennett for this item based upon articles in the Washington Post (updated) Photo surfaces of evangelical leaders laying hands on Donald Trump in the White House (plus photo by Rodney Howard Brown):

2016: God has chosen the 45th President of the USA (Cranmer-link)

A WORD ABOUT DONALD TRUMP: LOOK BEYOND THE MEDIA, THE LIES, THE PROPAGANDA

Seeing the pictures of the faith leaders praying for President Donald Trump, the Lord reminded me that this picture, and the report that should go with it, will never appear in the mainstream media. [RB: remember what Revd John Kilpatrick brought here from the Lord on this difference.] The Lord reminded me of my wife’s comments, and He said this,

“Tell My people all over the world to LOOK BEYOND the MEDIA. Look beyond the LIES and PROPAGANDA. Look beyond the outpouring of my enemies. Look beyond what you see and hear in the natural. LOOK TO ME and what I am already doing!

“I Myself have already sown the seed of revival. I myself have already nurtured and cultivated that seed. It has already started to grow. Look, do you not see it? It has already started to bear fruit – fruit that will last. Fruit that will carry you into My kingdom.

“Donald J Trump may not be the world’s idea of a missionary, but My ways are not your ways. He may not be the ideal saviour that so many are looking for. He may not be either the world’s or the churches’ choice of leader. But, but, but – he is My CHOSEN VESSEL, flaws and all. Through him, because of the freedom he brings, revival will flourish. Through him and his example, the world will look again at My SON and his gift of SALVATION – and then you will see the REVIVAL, the TSUNAMI of my Holy Spirit, fall upon your land.”

Chris Bennett, 12th July 2017

THE SHAKING: watch for signs on earth and in the heavens

Although I don’t agree 100% with John Kilpatrick’s reasons for a pre-Tribulation ‘rapture’ of believers in Jesus Christ, some significant serendipity alerted me to pay very close attention to his latest message entitled Your Redemption Is Drawing Near. I’m amazed to discover upon transcribing some of its video that a particular time-stamp reinforces a personal ‘bridge over the Pond’!

WORDS OF WARNING TO THE WORLD

After bemoaning the dearth of good, regular teaching upon End-times throughout Western churches and the increasing ungodliness across American society and churches, John brings a profound, prophetic warning. His tone becomes increasingly sombre as he speaks more carefully and pausing often (see video link):

(at 2:10:50 mark) “I really believe that 2017 is pivotal; not just because of The Radiant Woman of Revelation 12 [RB: in which he refers to its astronomical manifestation in September]…and not just because it’s possible that this is a Jubilee year, nobody really knows, but there are indications...

(2:11:45) “One thing I can tell you is this: the Lord spoke to me a few weeks ago, two mornings in a row and He said, “The earth is marked for change”.

(2:12:00) “I heard it when I was coming out of sleep (pausing to wipe his brow) and the next morning when I was coming out of sleep I heard the very same voice and very same words: “The earth is marked for change”

“It so shook me I called a meeting that night, took my staff out to eat…and I told them at the end of the meal what I just told you – it doesn’t sound serious when I say it, but that’s because you didn’t hear the voice I heard! But whenever the Lord or Holy Spirit tells you that,  I wasn’t able to convey it like that. So you can’t tell what I felt – but I know the earth is marked for change.

“And that is not just the earth but is also the heavens – and the Holy Spirit has said to me there’s going to be such things begin to happen…it’s going to be so shaking to people before we get out of here, before the Lord comes to get us, there’s going to be so many things that’s going to shake people that, if you’re not forewarned, it’s going to shake you!

“You will remember my voice, you will hear my voice ring in your head a hundred times when things start happening and you’ll say, “He told us!”. I hope it brings you some comfort that I told you ahead of time… but you hear me; when things start happening there will be no more headlines of Russian collusion…no more talk of tampering with the election, all that won’t even be in the papers at all…I want to say one more thing.:

“I never really put two and two together ’til Friday as I was preparing my message – but because Donald Trump is president and not afraid of anyone he’s saying things most presidents would hold…and we need a president now who says what we need to hear, even if it’s insulting. So when he came out and said about ‘fake news’…yes, I began to realise I’ve been hearing a lot of fake news…There’s no collusion, there’s nothing to it, it’s all just hype..

“So now listen, listen, if the news media is reporting fake news and hype…and they’re holding back reporting things they need to report, and reporting things they don’t need to report; it all of a sudden dawned on me and the Holy Spirit said, 

“They will do the same things about the signs of My Coming – they will NOT report things that need to be reported that will shake the nations about the soon coming of Christ. They’ll hold it and talk about a bunch of nonsense”.

“And He said,

“My people will have to search it out and have to go to places of truth to get the truth because they won’t be able to hear it on the news any more!”

“You might not agree with that, but I’m ‘Donald Trump the Second’ up here today – I’m telling you things that you need to hear. I’m not afraid to tell you things you need to hear. I’ve got nothing to prove, I’m only trying to tell you things that will help you get to heaven…

“Don’t take for granted what I’m telling you about the heavens. I’m more concerned about that than I am other things because in 2009 the Lord gave me the prophetic acrostic R.E.S.U.R.R.E.C.T.I.O.N. – you remember? The one that stood out in my mind more than any other was the ‘S’ for ‘Signs’, and the Lord said there’s going to be signs in the heavens. And the Lord said to tell the people to warn them, because He said when the signs start happening it’s going to bring great fear on the earth!”

A VERY PERSONAL LEAD-IN

We watched that live-streamed service from Church of His Presence in the afternoon.  A few hours earlier at the morning service in Liphook, one of our ministers had encouraged us to come forward for a blessing for opening up,  or developing, our personal journey and calling in Jesus.

After a number of recent indications on how He’s been steering me since a young boy, I gained an insight into my mother’s preference for using my middle name – John. Homing into that, I recalled Apostle John was favoured by leaning upon Jesus’ chest, and subsequently by a visitation from which he recorded ‘the revelation of Jesus Christ’. So I briefly recalled His visitation to me one night in September 1989, as recounted in On a Trapdoor to Hell – Jesus Swoops to the Rescue.

Therefore, I was doubly intrigued a few hours later to hear pastor John start to teach upon the Book of Revelation and use that same description of John’s privileged place. Furthermore, the title of his talk is that of a scripture directly related to my encounter’s similarity to the Second Coming of the Lord. That verse appears in my late mother’s Missal for readings for The First Sunday in Advent, viz: ‘Lift up your heads because your redemption is at hand‘ (Luke 12:28) – see final part and illustration of Triple Validation…

YET it wasn’t until today that I discovered a THIRD connection in pastor John’s talk! It’s directly relevant to a personally relevant number referred to in those two earlier posts: 212 – the number of the house I lived in when a boy. AND those preceding links reveal earlier instances of such ‘serendipity’; that is, God-incidents!

In listening to the recording of pastor I’m ‘God-smacked’ by the indisputable fact that only when the recording has been playing for 2 hours 12 minutes does he start telling how he got warned upon awaking from sleep!!

Hmm, so we have something significant to contemplate and wait upon with the Lord -and those personal markers are telling me to pay attention because they validate His word to pastor Kilpatrick.  How about you, my reader, what do you think?

Prophecy for USA of fiery outpouring and mass deliverance

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

World In Fire by Danilo Rizzuti

PROPHETIC WORD – FIERY OUTPOURING & MASS DELIVERANCE IN AMERICA:

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

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

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

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

Visions of golden rain and of gold

The previous posts about London and Ilford and from Whitstable on God’s glory support last year’s vision-experience of the Lord’s glory falling like golden rain on streets of London, as seen by attendee of Forest Hill Community church (also of ‘tsunami of love’ from 2011). Thank you Lord for ‘God-incidental’ reminder of those from Beverley ‘Joy’ and from UK Prophetic Words’ email of this by Patsy Southway.:

GOLD,  GOLD  AND  MORE  GOLD!

Over this past month the Lord has been increasingly speaking to me about GOLD. This first started on the 5th June while I was in prayer.

I had a vision of a beach. I could see the waves coming in, foaming their way upon the sand. These waves were not tsunami type waves, just ‘normal’ waves. But as the waves receded GOLD droplets, nuggets, were left on the beach. Splashes from the waves too were like little droplets of gold.

As I continued to watch this scene, the amount of GOLD was increasing, of course, as the waves were building momentum. There was something very PURE and LOVELY about it all.

I asked, ‘What does this mean? Waves of GLORY? Wealth?’ But nothing was clear to me at the time.

Then the very next day, on the 6th June, again, whilst in prayer, I received a vision of a large flying bird. It was an Eagle with GOLD tips on its wings. More GOLD. Again, I asked the meaning of this and for the previous day’s vision of the waves bringing in the GOLD. I sensed that the Lord was saying that the Eagle was symbolic of myself and many others. That we have been ‘marked with gold’ prepared, through journey, through brokenness, through healing, through purification for something very precious that’s coming.

Then, on the 22nd June during the House Of Prayer meeting in our home, I saw a HUGE cloud of FIRE over the house and was reminded, (a friend reminded me) that this was the second time the Lord had shown us this. We had also received a prophetic word, previously, about this. That the Heavenly Fire Cloud over the property/land will be released to many hubs/gatherings/families/churches with the same effect that a rippling effect of a wave makes.

As I was journalling this later in the day, I was also given this scripture from 1 Peter 1:6-7:
‘In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, you have been grieved by various trials, that the GENUINENESS of your faith, being much more precious than GOLD that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.’

My thoughts, conclusion even, at that time was that many of us have been led through FIRES, in order to BE the FIRE OF GOD to the NATIONS and that HE brings us forth as GOLD.

Then, as we prepared to have some rest days away in Cornwall last week, in an amazing way (you know how God radically so confirms things sometimes!) the word GOLD cropped up everywhere:

A pair of boots I purchased – were labelled ‘RHINE GOLD’
Teabags, bought to take away – ‘GOLD TEABAGS’
We arrive at the site, in Cornwall and I was looking through the leaflets:
‘CORNWALL GOLD’ – JEWELLERY FROM THE HEART OF CORNWALL.
We walked into a pub and ordered drinks. I looked back towards the door to see the pub was called: THE GOLDEN LION!
Eating lunch out the following day, we asked for some vinegar, the label – ‘Aspell GOLDEN Malt Vinegar’
I have photos of all of these!

So, early the next morning, I spent some quality time talking with Papa and began to look up some meanings of GOLD.
The COLLINS ENGLISH DICTIONARY says:
GOLD is a valuable, yellow coloured metal that is used for making jewellery and ornaments and as an INTERNATIONAL currency.

The colour GOLD is associated with ABUNDANCE, PROSPERITY and WELL BEING.

I read in Genesis 2 that GOLD was used from the very earliest of times for ornaments. And that GOLD was extremely abundant please read (1 Chr 22:14; 2 Chr 1:15;) 2 Chr 9:13-14 ‘Now the weight of GOLD which came to Solomon in ONE year was 666 talents of gold!
The MOST HOLY PLACE within the Tabernacle and Temple were covered with GOLD. Ex 25:10-11 & 17-18 Apparently there are 189 Bible references about GOLD. I read most of them.

Interesting to note that Gold and Silver are products of God, not a man made product. God designed them to be intrinsically valuable and beautiful. GOLD does not tarnish or corrode. A precious metal, like GOLD is not only unharmed when tried by FIRE but becomes REFINED and PURE.

God is, and has, and will, refine US; to bring us forth as GOLD. At the same time it is easy for God to bring in GOLD in waves! It is easy for God to cause us to fly, like Eagles, Into places where our wing tips would touch the very GOLD of heaven and we will be marked for ever from eternity to eternity.

I’m seeing my Heavenly Father LONGING to give GOOD gifts to His children. I’m hearing him say, ‘Don’t be afraid of WEALTH in ALL its forms.’ SELAH….
I’m seeing many hearts and minds, including mine, being enlarged to encompass this ‘NEW’ that He is doing and even GREATER things He longs to release.

I want to encourage you – GO FOR THE GOLD! Give Him EVERYTHING! Just like Jesus gave up EVERYTHING for you and me. When we seeking to live that wonderful John 5:19 lifestyle that Jesus lived then heaven can release as much GOLD as it wants and we’ll know exactly what to do with it! It’s on its way!

Happy days!

RB’s notes:
  • Am amused by this ‘coincidental material’ as my new phone lies screen-down on papers looking like a slim, weighty bar of gold on this desk – only this weekend did I replace my 5-years old white HTC with new Sony phone to link with TV. Instead of getting the same colour I looked online and, unlike me, decided to pick the gold one!

A new season in the prophetic

Thank you to UK Prophetic Words and to Kathy Laity for permission to re-publish this timely word posted on 4th July from the Lord on the essence of the prophetic gifting:

THE SEASON OF PROPHETS

“There is a birthing in the new prophetic season which requires caution and constant enquiring of Me to come forth in the fullness of what I desire. The enemy seeks to distort the pure, clear stream which flows directly from My throne.flows directly from My throne.

“Watch out for and root out his ploys from within your own lives. He seeks to use impure motives of the heart to derail and to discredit the move of the Prophets that I am raising up in this land.

“The true signs that I am elevating a prophetic voice are:

• Humility is stamped in their every fibre
• Being willing to honour and prefer others without pushing forward to be heard themselves
• They do not add to, exaggerate or embellish the revelation with their own additions
• They are not seeking a name for themselves but only to honour My name and everything they do points to Me, not them
• They seek unity, inter-dependency with My body and are submissive to My leaders in authority
• They are teachable and correctable, willing to admit they only see, hear and discern in part
• They have died to their own selfish ambitions
• They love My church and My people
• They have learnt to love even when bringing My correction
• They do not stand as harsh harbingers of justice but move always with a heart of mercy, weeping with the broken heart of Heaven over evil ways.

“These are the Prophets I elevate. These are the ones I share My heart with and the secrets of Heaven. Trustworthy, refined by the fire of My testing and having emerged as pure gold, who know they are nothing and nobody without Me.

“In this birthing, it will not be those who shout loudest, who self-promote or who use soulish personality that I will elevate but vessels who know they cannot stand unless I turn up. Look and discern My people for these are pure vessels and listen carefully to what I release through them.

“Some are young in age but I have accelerated their maturing. Do not look down on them or despise them for their youth. Humility recognises when I have opened a platform for someone.

“I am causing different streams of My Spirit to come together so the flow will greatly increase. The diversity of each stream will mingle and join. There will be a greater empowerment as each learns to embrace what I’ve imparted to the others. No one stream has the full revelation but now I’m drawing the tributaries to flow together into one mighty roaring river of My presence deluging the dry and barren land which will respond with rapid blooming and fruitfulness.”

Supporting Scriptures:

Philippians 2v3 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves.

James 3v16 – For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

Romans 12v10 – Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.

1 Peter 2v17 – Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the emperor

1 Corinthians 13 v4ff – Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease…..For we know in part and prophesy in part…….for now we see only a reflection as in a mirror……..The greatest of these is love.

Isaiah 35v1-2 – The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom.

Isaiah 35v6 – Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert

Hebrews 13v17 – Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

Rev 22v1 – Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

1 Timothy 4 v 12 – Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

Brace for mighty tsunami wave of God’s glory and grace – Veronika West

TELL MY PEOPLE TO BRACE FOR THERE IS COMING A MIGHTY TSUNAMI WAVE OF MY GLORY AND GRACE THAT WILL SHAKE, SHIFT AND SIFT THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”!

Last night I had a powerful dream where I was caught up in the Spirit realm. In the dream I seemed to be standing between the earthly realm and the heavenly realm, when out of the heavens came a loud voice saying, “TELL MY PEOPLE TO BRACE FOR THERE IS COMING A MIGHTY TSUNAMI WAVE OF MY GLORY AND GRACE THAT WILL SHAKE, SHIFT AND SIFT THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”, as I heard these words suddenly a strong rushing Wind began to blow round about me and then I saw a mighty Tsunami Wave of liquid gold coming out of the heavens and breaking forth upon the earth. As I stayed watching in the dream suddenly I saw a multitude of Angels dressed in garments of pure white light swiftly descending upon the earth, as I drew a little closer I saw that the Angels carried swords in one hand and sickles in the other and then I heard these words, “Watch! For Now a mighty Tsunami Wave of My Glory and Grace now breaks forth upon the Nations of the earth. Watch! For Angels of the Harvest are now gathering and scattering, gathering and scattering, gathering and scattering”!

Suddenly the dream shifted and I found myself standing upon the earth, and again just as before a strong rushing wind began to blow round about me, then I heard a voice speak from heaven saying, “The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But I the Lord will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.

At that very moment I woke up suddenly and I was praying fervently in the Spirit when the Holy Spirit spoke to me saying, “Now is the Time, Watch! for the Whirlwind of My Spirit comes to sift and Shift the Nations of the earth”, immediately the Spirit quickened to me Isaiah 17, which says, “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin.
2 “The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.
3 “The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,And sovereignty from Damascus. And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,” Declares the LORD of hosts.
4 Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
5 It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain. In the valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 In that day man will have regard for his Maker. And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, Even the Asherim and incense stands.
9 In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation. And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants. And set them with vine slips of a strange god.
11 In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap. In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
12 Alas, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!
13 The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.
14 At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us. And the lot of those who pillage us.

Note; As I was praying concerning the dream shift where I found myself suddenly standing upon the earth the Holy Spirit showed me a mighty Tsunami Wave that is coming too in the natural realm, it will come as ‘suddenly and as swiftly and as unexpectedly as the Tsunami of His Glory and Grace. Furthermore I believe that it is no coincidence that Isaiah 17 should be quickened to me in the Year 2017, let us continue to Pray Always for Israel.

Mighty word of encouragement for Britain via David Noakes

[POSTED 1st July 2017]

As we know, David Noakes brought an accurate word in 2015 from the Lord about His urging Britain to come out of the EU (and the shaking of the latter), so I’m grateful to the managing editor for permission to reprint Prophetic Encouragement from yesterday’s Prophecy Today UK. It reiterates Dr Sharon Stone’s Clarion Call for England for 2014-16 and beyond about this spiritual battle being the way to victory. The word David delivers is introduced by Clifford Hill:

It is not just Christians who can see that the nation is in trouble. Everyone can see that things have not been going well in Britain recently. The terrorist attacks, the Grenfell Tower inferno, and the hung Parliament all confirm that something is wrong in the nation.

Many Christians know that as a nation we have rejected the word of God in many ways which has resulted in Britain being no longer under God’s cover of protection, prosperity and blessing.

‘Confusion’ is one of the signs of judgment upon a nation, according to Deuteronomy 28:20. But Jeremiah 18:7 reminds us that even when things go badly wrong, if we repent of our wrongdoing and ask for God’s help, things would quickly improve. Through Jeremiah God says:

If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.

God still speaks to us today so that we can understand what is happening and how he is working out his purposes. This enables us as Christians to speak to others, Christians and non-Christians, reassuring them of God’s love and his desire to bless the nation, restoring peace and prosperity.

The latest word received by my colleague David Noakes (we have worked together since 1984) brings this reassurance. We reproduce it below noting that we do not claim that modern prophecy carries the same authority as the Bible. But God does speak to those who are listening to him, although we express what we are receiving in our own human language and understanding. It is for each of our readers to weigh this prophecy.

Rev Dr Clifford Hill

PROPHETIC WORD, first given at East Grinstead (17 June 2017)

David Noakes:

Beloved, you are living in momentous days. These are truly the days of a turning point in the affairs of your nation. It is a time of my appointing. I have allowed you to go your own way but I have never let go of you.

There are many voices in your midst which are full of pessimism and I understand that if you look upon your circumstances, pessimism is often the outcome. But I want you to perceive as I perceive.

Beloved, when there is turmoil and upheaval, do not look upon it with dismay; do not look upon it with foreboding; do not look upon it with fear. But look upon it with eyes turned to me with a questioning heart: a heart questioning what your God is doing in the midst of it. For beloved, all these things taking place are under my hand. I have brought about a remarkable work in your nation in recent times. This is not accidental, nor is it sudden, but has come about at my appointed time.

I do not have accidents; I do not have coincidences; I do not have sudden unexpected events. I have appointed events, at appointed times, and I am the one who is seated in the heavens and does whatever He pleases. Do not lose heart, because I am in charge. My hand is on your nation and I have not given up my purposes for you.

I have blessed your nation in the past and truly you have been faithless; but beloved, I have remained faithful. Your enemy has done much to sow lies, to sow false doctrine, to try to bring down all that is good and all that is of God. But I have kept for myself a remnant. My Word remains true for all time and all eternity and I will fulfil my purposes.

This is a time of turmoil and upheaval because your adversary is in great rage and great fear. He is in great consternation that I will use your nation to tear his purposes apart. But that is exactly what I intend to do. I intend to bring his purposes crashing down. There will be turmoil and upheaval; there will be blood in the streets; there will be anxiety amongst those who do not know that God is in charge and do not understand what I am doing.

Beloved, there cannot be victory in war without war taking place; and war is indeed taking place, because I have joined battle. I have joined battle against the forces of darkness which desire to bring your nation to nothing and I have declared I will not have it so. My purposes for you are from all eternity. I have known exactly what I will do at this time. I have known exactly what I will do in the future and I purpose to glorify my name through your nation once again.

Therefore do not be disheartened. Do you think of yourself as being just a little flock? Truly there is only a small remnant who hold fast to My word. But beloved, continue to hold fast to my word and pray that the purposes that I have begun to reveal will come to fruition and fulfilment, and I will visit you afresh with my Spirit.

I will visit you afresh with my Spirit that you may be empowered: Not for your glory, but for Mine. Not to build empires but to build my Church. I desire also to visit you with my Spirit that you may be instruments in my hand to go into the fields which are ripe for harvest, and bring in a harvest; for there is a harvest waiting to be brought in.

There are many in fear and trepidation and utter confusion, and I want you to be a people who know their God and do exploits. I want you to be a people of compassion; not of judgement; not of condemnation. Judgement is mine, I will repay. But I ask you to be a people of love and concern; of compassion for the lost, and of deep desire that the truth should be brought to many who will understand it and be saved. For surely there are those whom you think are your enemies, who are longing for truth.

Do not be down-hearted, therefore. Do not be dispirited. Yes, I know all too well that you are surrounded by those who wish you ill. Beloved, do not heed them but look to your God who wishes you well. Look to your God who wishes them well. I desire a people who are willing to bless their enemies and to do good to those who speak evil about them.

As you do this they will see your light. Many will reject, but many will see the light in the darkness and will desire the only light they can see. For all their plans and schemes will have fallen to the ground and then they will turn to the only truth.

Do not give up therefore. Hold fast. Hold fast to Me. Hold fast to My Word. Hold fast in love and unity, to one another. Be loyal and faithful to each other. Forgive each other all offences and stand together, that as one you may show the character of your Lord and Saviour. Beloved, understand that I have not given up, and I say to you: do not give up either, but look to Me and hope in Me that I will do what I have planned.

Charles Shamp: Keep your eyes on Big Ben

Thank you to Suzanne Payne of UKPW for alerting me to yesterday’s posting on Charles Shamp’s Facebook and which aligns with similar recent words and visions, all of which are for weighing with the Lord and His Word. Moreover, unusually frequent, prolonged dropouts on the internet prevented my completing and linking the footnote!!! – maybe the prince of the air just doesn’t like what’s coming? Charlie writes:

Keep your eyes upon Big Ben something supernatural is about to be seen. . .

As I was praying today I was taken to Big Ben in London, England. I heard the Lord say,

“My eye is upon this land and my hand upon the nation’s time, a kairos moment is about to come! I will cause a sign to come from Big Ben that will mark the moment that I have changed the time and season for the nation of England and the city of London. Everything will stop and people will turn to see and hear. Tell my people to mark the moment when it comes to pass for it will be sign of great change in the land.”

Charles Shamp, 26th June’17

Footnotes:
  • This famous symbol of Britain has featured increasingly in recent prophetic material, as shown under this blog’s Big Ben tag (click and scroll down posts).
  • It is not unprecedented for rare malfunctions or stoppages of the clock to happen at the same time as nationally relevant events; eg. on 27 May 2005 just prior to 40-days prayer for London called by Chuck Pierce after sighting sword over London prior to terrorist attack (see Library’s 2005: Big Ben Stops!).
  • That event was recalled by Revd Dr Sharon Stone in her ‘Clarion Call’ of 2013 about the need to get ‘in sync’ with heaven’s time and I surmised maintenance scheduled for 2017 could signify it’s time to get Britain back into proper working order, both politically and spiritually (see Significant Timing of Planned Stoppage of Big Ben).
  • 28/6 – I’d noted broadband was running at 1/3rd normal speed, which was probably a result of huge disruption caused by another cyber-attack across Europe & USA. 

Cleansing and preparing for the Lord’s glory to visit Britain

Two very pertinent prophetical ponderings, courtesy of UK Prophetic Words posted 24th and 25th June respectively (editorial emphases mine):

I AM ABOUT TO MOVE IN GREAT BRITAIN AS NEVER BEFORE – CLEANSING & PREPARING FOR REVIVAL 

Credit Glocar Matt, BBC Weather Watcher

There’s been a lot of comment about the cloud photo which appeared over Britain this week (as above). Allow me to give you my take on this:

At first I was quite amused by all the hype and, frankly, what I thought was foolish talk – until Holy Spirit nudged me. “And why can it not be from Me?”  He asked. “Do you not recall Elijah’s Cloud?” For a moment I thought He was pulling my leg but He added, “Not joking!”

So let me get this straight, a cloud that started on the horizon ‘as big as a man’s hand’ had now grown and taken on the shape of mainland Britain?

“Oh yes”, He said, “And it’s headed your way for a very good reason”. OK Lord, you’ve got my attention. This chat had suddenly gotten serious.

“Tell My people, I am sending the latter rain early because you are getting parched from hearing all the false and seriously gloomy news. There is a great need for a washing in My Spirit. That’s right, I am sending a WASHING IN MY SPIRIT in order to cleanse off the world’s dirt which is sticking to you!”

“The Cloud was sent as a warning to Great Britain that I am about to move as never before – cleansing and preparing for revival” said the Lord. “The cleansing will bring great realisation of the poor spiritual state of the nation. There will be much tearful repentance and restoration of almost forgotten callings and ministries. There will be a huge move among the young, and not so young, and an equipping for revival as never seen or recorded before.”

“Doesn’t My Word say that signs in the heavens will appear before you? Haven’t My servants the prophets warned you of this? The time has come for a national awakening such as never seen before nor even imagined. I have spoken. Is not My Word good? Has My Word ever fallen to the ground? Have you not prayed for this day and have I not now answered?”

“I am the Lord. Listen when I speak, and watch for My signs and wonders. I AM SENDING ALL THAT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR AND MORE – MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER THINK OR IMAGINE!”

Chris Bennett, 18th June’17

PREPARE YOUR HEARTS FOR A VISITATION OF MY GLORY

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord” – We all are familiar with the wonderful old hymn by Julia Ward Howe that starts with this line.

I was reminded of this when I sat, as I often do, just listening to whatever the Lord wanted to say to me. He brought these words to mind. Before I could ask the question, the Lord answered,

“I am about to bring my Shekinah glory into your meetings. I will bring the cloud of my presence before you. The few times I have done this before, my people have fallen on their faces before me. This time, I will cause one or two to stand up again. They will shine before you as Moses did when he came down from Mount Sinai where he was in my presence. These shall be my mantle carriers, whether healing, prophecy, teaching, hospitality, prayer, or whatever. My mantle shall be upon them and none shall claim otherwise.”

I was reminded of a vision I had about four or five years ago in which the Glory Cloud came into the church we were in at the time. I’ve since had the same vision set in our present church. There is no precedent for this, nor any preference other than for praying worshiping congregations. I don’t even think it has anything to do with where we are, or which church we are in. This COMING GLORY has everything to do with the hearts of those believers who cry out for such a visitation.

“PREPARE YOUR HEARTS FOR A VISITATION OF MY GLORY!” says the Lord. “I AM COMING SOON, IN FACT, I AM ON MY WAY NOW!”

Powerful word calling for prayer as the holy shaking continues

THE SHAKINGS ARE UPON LONDON. GOD WILL BRING A HOLY CHAOS – PRAY FOR LONDON AND THE UK

London, my beloved city, my heart aches for you! Do you not know, have you not heard, the Lord, He is the everlasting God! He is the hope of the Nations! How He longs to rise upon you with healing in His wings! He longs to restore the ancient ruins and raise up the former devastations. Oh London – beloved city! Wake up! Hearken unto the voice of the Lord! Return to Him! Return to Him while there is hope. For the shakings are coming, and are already upon you.

My people, who are called by my name, will you humble yourselves, and call out to me at this time? Will you cry out all the more? I long to forgive your sins and heal your land. Keep praying! Do not hold back. For surely I have heard your cries for your nation. Keep believing. Keep praying – for surely I am coming! Do you not perceive it? Even in the midst of chaos, and tragedy, I am humbling hearts. I am causing hearts to unlock. I am causing eyes to look up. I am restoring the fear of the Lord.

London – the City that is so proud of getting on with ‘business as usual’ will be brought to its knees in repentance. There will be no business as usual when I sweep through your streets and dwellings like a flood. For I will bring a Holy Chaos to your Capital. You will know when it comes. Everything will come to a standstill when I come in my Power and turn everything upside down.

All the plans of man will be laid waste. People will rush to the churches looking for the people of God, as they rushed to Joseph in the time of famine. The people will come looking for bread! They will leave their desks and their computers and their board rooms and will come begging for bread. You must make sure there is enough bread in the storehouse! The bread they will need is my word. They will need to hear the wisdom of the people of God. They will come searching for truth.

Even now I am whetting appetites. I am stirring up a hunger and thirst in the lost and the broken. They will grow weary of the world having no answers. They will grow desperate for a light in the darkness. But first the shakings are going to come. Pray for mercy. Pray for a spirit of repentance to come quickly. Pray for the government to be humbled. For I WILL bring beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness. I am the Lord! I alone can do these things.

  1. Angela is known to me through my contacts on this blog and this came via UK Prophetic Words whilst reading about yesterday’s tragic ‘towering inferno’ in London and my preparing to blog about Tim Farron ‘coincidentally’ stepping down as leader of the ‘Liberal’ Democratic party and standing up for his faith in Jesus Christ – well done brother.
  2. Maybe the Lord is teaching me a grim kind of discernment for prayer in view of two ‘God-incidental’ references: 1st – the Great Fire of London (as at foot of this post on the spiritual battle raging over Britain); 2nd – my memory of the brooding murderous menace over Manchester area (at start of this post) a few hours before children and parents were murdered at a concert in the Manchester Arena.
  3. Significantly, the last item was on a “Two-Minute Warning” from the Lord!!!

Heaven’s trumpet sounding over UK : Changing of the guard over nations

Thank you to UK Prophetic Words for these fresh words which, in my humble opinion, indicate what’s about to come here in Britain and on the broader international perspective – as I write that, an incoming email from a reader refers to blowing the trumpet as stated in the 2005 Vision for Great Britain of Wendy Alec:

A TRUMPET SOUND FROM HEAVEN BLOWING ACROSS THE UK

Posted: 12 Jun 2017 02:47 PM PDT  Received by a trusted intercessor 30th May’17:

There is a trumpet sound from Heaven blowing across the UK and hitting the demonic structures that have held the minds of Christians in captivity through faulty thinking and ignorance of what the Word of God really says.

These winds are colliding with demonic strongholds, forming whirlwinds. I saw this happen three times in the spirit realm bringing a completeness in what the Lord will and is doing, in this latter period of transition which is leading to a forward movement and breakthrough.

I saw a wig, like the wig of a judge; the Lord is Judge. He judges the earth, and we will all be judged at the end according to our works. His sword is actively discerning and exposing the thoughts and attitudes of the hearts of men.

As the whirlwind comes, it uncovers all that has been hidden. The whirlwind is the whirlwind of God’s Holy Spirit, bringing a cleansing, removing the dross, the stuff which has been holding us back. And God looks; He wants to see His church really move. He wants to see us being mobilised.

The rubbish in us, especially the gossip, and all those different things that are blocking the way forwards and causing deep pain for some of His beloved, is about to be removed so that there will be an acceleration forwards for those willing to be changed, who repent and who have really humbled themselves. This is a time of new freedom and destiny.

The dross being removed also consists of strongholds of false belief, disappointment and disillusionment which have led to bitterness, unforgiveness and unbelief in many. The religious spirit brings death and shutdown as there is little faith to see miracles and healing. Many are not even believing in the demonic or the supernatural.

Nevertheless, the Lord is sanctifying His Church and those who humble themselves and face into the wind will be cleansed and set free. It is the mercy and grace of God accomplishing this washing of our innermost being in preparation for His next move.

A FRESH ROYAL DIADEM NOW BEING RELEASED FROM HEAVEN!

Posted: 13 Jun 2017 02:18 PM PDT

Dr. Theresa Phillips

There’s a royal diadem coming down from Heaven sent by the Father of lights.

It bears the jewels of Heaven. It comes with a condition: “Change,” says the Lord, “To wear the crown, one must change” (see James 1:17).

There is a changing of the guard, commencing FIRST in Heaven then in the below. As the spiritual guard begins to change so will the natural guards within several nations. Nations like the Philippines, Thailand, Germany, Denmark and England will all see a LEADER-SHIFT.

The Lord Himself is beginning to pinpoint areas within the leadership that needs to be realigned for their assignments. There will be a season of confession, a season of proclamation and then there will be a season of release.

The Lord is preparing people even now with prophecy carrying strength to encourage by conviction. These will be released to release powerful prophecy for they have been set aside because they longed to walk in the royal priesthood humbly before their God (see 1 Peter 2:9).

Over the next seven months, there will be a challenge in the hearts of many to see what their destiny is. It’s a challenge to figure out where they will go and who they will become.

The Lord would say to the people, “Do not ask who you will become, ask Whose you will become. Once that revelation has been released, you will begin to see spheres of influence change and challenge within your life. Then when it (revelation) is released you will see DESTINY emerge.”

The Lord says, “I am realigning and assigning a brand-new royal priesthood, not after the order of anything except Christ Himself. For He had become and IS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST. No other priesthood compares.

“Royal ambassadors, called into the royal priesthood, will be a new voice throughout the nations. Clergy from the Vatican will begin to change their language. Clergy from England will change their language. There is going to be a great revival in Ireland and Scotland. And the Church of America will shift its language and the RE-BIRTH of the Kings James Bible will emerge on the scene.”

“NOTICE THIS,” says the Lord, “The United States of America will begin to send out a different breed of missionaries. These missionaries will have had experiences in heavenly realms without boasting. They will begin to declare realms, atmospheres, and alignments with Kings in nations and these voices will be heard as voices of solidarity with the Kingdom of Heaven. This will ignite the hearts of many and they will begin to cry, ‘Here am I send me to be the word.’”

Paws-4-Prayer: fierce heavenly battle rages over Great Britain

On Saturday 10th June Veronika West posted the following on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook page, which connects not only into my brief reflections on Northern Ireland Unionist leader’s reaction to Prime Minister May’s proposals – “The Union is our shining star!” – but also with the two UKPW items in that post:

WATCHMEN KEEP PRAYING:  THERE’S A FIERCE BATTLE RAGING IN THE HEAVENLIES OVER THE KINGDOM DESTINY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN & NORTHERN IRELAND…

This afternoon I went for a long walk along the coastline as I felt the Lord call me to completely separate myself from the busyness of the day. As I did so the Holy Spirit began to speak to me and reveal to me many things concerning Prime Minister Theresa May and the talks she is now having with the DUP here in Northern Ireland. As I talked with the Holy Spirit suddenly he reminded me of a very specific word that I received just a few days back where both the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland were mentioned TOGETHER!!!. (See Below). I believe It is no coincidence that the Lord spoke so clearly and so specifically concerning both the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland just a few days before the Election, and now we see that there is a possibility of both the Conservative Government and the DUP in Northern Ireland coming TOGETHER AS ONE TO FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT IN THE NATION.

I believe this word is EXTREMELY POIGNANT IN THIS HOUR, furthermore I BELIEVE IT REVEALS THAT BOTH THE KINGDOM DESTINY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND THAT OF NORTHERN IRELAND ARE POWERFULLY INTERLINKED WITH ONE ANOTHER.

PLEASE LET US CONTINUE TO PRAY FERVENTLY AND UNRELENTINGLY OVER the discussions that are NOW taking place between Prime Minister Theresa May and the First Minister Arlene Foster of the DUP.

I was shown that the enemy is doing everything in his power in this hour to halt and hinder any UNION from taking place between Britain and Northern Ireland. Satan knows that our Kingdom Destinies are powerfully interlinked with one another, Satan knows that MUCH will and can be accomplished and established for the Kingdom of God here in this Nation and indeed in many other Nations in the Earth if both Britain and Northern Ireland come together as one. I saw Satan working strategically behind the scenes to undermine and discredit both Prime Minister Theresa May and those in the DUP in order to overturn any possibility of a partnership forming between the Conservative Government and the DUP.

AGAIN Today as I was praying I saw a battle that is raging over the HARVEST FIELDS IN THIS NATION.
