Dr Sharon Stone: New Year 5777 (2016-2017) – the Sword of the Lord will arise

 “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come”. (Jer 33.3 NLT)

At an international gathering of prophets in Windsor, Berkshire, on 3rd September Rev Dr Stone gave attendees a heads-up on this new Hebraic Year 5777, ie. a month before it began on Rosh Hashanah at sundown last Sunday (2nd October 2016).

PART 1: Words & Numbers 

Rev Dr Sharon Stone, courtesy CIESharon’s purpose in providing an early analysis and report is to enable us to understand this new season, thereby aligning and positioning ourselves to receive the great blessing of what’s coming. Knowing what’s in our future gives us momentum to bring it into the present.

Her opening instruction stresses the importance of getting a ‘NOW’ word from the Lord;

“For those who don’t understand why we need a ‘now‘ word; as soon as I know what the Spirit of God is doing I align myself with that. I put my eyes where His are, I put my heart where His is, I put my hand where His is, I put my feet where I see He’s focused and I’m in a place of such great blessing, opportunity and advancement because I’ve not had to struggle to do that. It’s being in the right place at the right time – and that’s my prayer for each one of you.”

The pictorial characters of the Hebrew alphabet are not only of linguistic use and meaning but, like ancient Greek, also have a numerical value by virtue of their place in the alphabet, and some represent larger numbers in multiple of ten and of hundred. Thus, rich layers of meaning may be found within these letters and correspondingly within holy scripture.

Hebrew letter ayin

Ayin

She explains 5700 means ‘may this be the year of…’ and we’re in the decade of the 70, which is represented by letter ‘ayin’ or a pair of eyes (pictographically).

“So in every year of this decade we come to a new place of enlightenment for the church in different arenas – but it also means personally that your eyes are being opened up! Your (spiritual) vision is becoming more clear (and your getting) details of a strategy rather than an overview.

“By the end of this decade you need to expect that the prophetic has been increased in the midst of you…and you can go from one level to the next level in a greater way and a faster way than you could at any time before…At this time the Spirit of God is giving me two scriptures for this season we’re in.”

Sharon then speaks in-depth on Jeremiah 33.3, as quoted above about this remarkable season where the Lord’s putting a hunger in us for knowing about things to come. Next she expounds upon Isaiah 42:16 as another key pertinent to our prophetic eyesight:

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known. Along paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them and I will make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do and I will not forsake them”.

Meaning of 777

It seems God’s favorite number is 7, especially in the Book of Revelation, and this year’s number has 3!  Number 7 means perfect, complete, and when something’s mentioned three times in scripture it’s for emphasis.

777 is ‘divine – divine – divine’ or completion of perfection. Therefore, Sharon is hearing the the Lord say to her that over-longstanding issues and delayed promises are about to be finished and completed, and Holy Spirit will enable us to become overcomers.

So in this season of bringing to completion, or perfection, God’s giving us opportunities to learn and overcome and gain victories by which we can testify as overcomers.

During this time of perfected completion many will see a finished manifestation, especially for incomplete personal deliverance and for lengthy healing processes, these will come to completion and finish so that we can move on.

PART 2: Dream of Weapons

Sharon recounts a dream of a week or so earlier of being in a museum and seeing many Medieval weapons. Just before the end, her attention is drawn to “a very strong sword; a broad two-edged sword but it’s hilt had a crown that covered the hand”.

Upon telling husband Greg about the dream and about 5777 he told her to see what he’d emailed her about Chuck Pierce’s Head of the Year 5777 gathering that, “has on the front of it a picture of a sword with a crown on top – isn’t that incredible!”

Chuck Pierce Glory of Zion

Sharon explains its direct relevance to the 7th letter Hebrew ‘zayin’ which is written like a sword with a crown on top (footnote’s link refers).  As a sword means ‘war’ and being in a ‘zayin’ season we have to prepare for war and battle.

THE SWORD OF THE LORD WILL ARISE

Sharon continues by delivering an important prophetic word: “The Spirit of the Lord says,

“Surely I am in this season putting out a call to arms. My sword – the Sword of the Lord – will arise”, but the Lord says, “Also, the sword of the enemy will arise at this time.” 

But the Lord says, “Nations will behold not only My wisdom but, My sons and daughters, the nations will behold My severity also.” 

And the Lord says, “You will come to be one that no longer runs from spiritual warfare but you will realise that you are in a season” He says, “where I am unveiling new strategies.”

And the Lord says, “But just like in Gideon’s day there was a winnowing down of the troops until I had a people that I could operate through”, and the Spirit of the Lord says, “in this nation and in many other nations of the earth there has been a shifting in the prayer movement, there has been a shifting in the prophetic, there has been a dispersing and a going back home, and there has been a remnant that has arisen”, says the Lord.

And the Lord says that, “I declare even over the UK – (and globally in the nations, offers Sharon) – now there is going to be a Gideon army coming together” and the Lord says that, “The reason for My Gideon army is not because I despise revival and harvest – I don’t want the many saved? No, the reason I’m going to raise a Gideon army is I’m going to cause you to know My Power” says the Lord, “So it’s not going to be by your strength, by your power”, says the Lord, “but it’s going to be by My strength and My power and my Spirit.”

And the Lord says that, “You will see Me as the Lord Sabaoth – the One leading His troops forward”,  but the Spirit of the Lord says, “Where many expect Me to lift up My standard that you might follow” the Spirit of God says, “YOU are going to be My standard in the earth”, says God and the Lord says, “I will cause others to see your great exploits.”

And the Lord says, “You have all been in Kingdom conflict” but the Lord says, “This is different from yesterday for now you are in armed conflict”, for the Lord says, “I am giving you, furnishing you even with new weapons, weapons for a battle for victory” says God, “I will fight not simply because you are a warrior but because of your love for Me, your love for others and your love for the land that will motivate you.”

And the Lord says that, “You will wage war (look at this play on words), you will wage war and I will release back to you your stolen wages and it will be a financial season of  the power in you as well.”

And the Lord says, “The armed robber needed an armed guard to deal with him, but I’m releasing you even as an armed guard in the earth!” says your Father.

Sharon then mentions a sister had told her about a similar vision in the previous week that made her understood new weaponry would be released at the gathering.

Footnote: Hebrew for Christians website is most illuminating about Letter Zayin, especially in connection with time, viz: “since Zayin represents both the number 7 and a sword it is not surprising that it is used to divide or “cut up” time into units of sevens” (!!)

A ‘God-incidental’ word for UK and email on PM May

Surely the Lord must have arranged for two items ‘coincidentally’ in my in-tray today. They’re from separate sources but their contents are connected and thus stress in my spirit their import. AND it strongly resonates with the content of my post 7th April: The Four Faces of God and Unity:

First, take especial note of what Father’s House of Prayer intercessor Lynne describes in her email sent last night:  

“…I was watching the news and Theresa May came on at the [Conservative Party’s annual] conference and I hadn’t realised it was being held at the NIA in Birmingham.  What came to me is they are in the same room that the WPC Trumpet Call is held in and it’s also the site of the Old Bingley Hall and when they demolished it they found wheelchairs, leg braces, crutches etc., in the cellar from the days of George Jeffreys visits to Birmingham in the 50’s. …I also remember that on the day of the referendum I had decided come what may I was going to the WPC because…I’d never been able to go to their premises. Anyway, when I got off the train at the revamped New Street Station, now known as Central Station, and started to walk into the new dome part, I was stopped in my tracks! – I could feel the Holy Spirit. The only way I can describe it is whirling and swirling around, never ever experienced anything like that it my life.

“And I’m just thinking of the prayers offered in that place and in the WPC also about Father saying in one of the prophecies that Birmingham was the heart of prayer. Might not be anything but it just keeps coming.”

[NIA is the National Indoor Arena – for information on WPC click World Prayer Centre.]

Secondly, yesterday’s Facebook posting by seer Veronika West of this exceptionally powerful and encouraging vision:

A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM!

“DAUGHTER WATCH! AS MY 7 SPIRITS BEGIN TO MOVE MIGHTILY, STRATEGICALLY AND IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY IN THE NEXT 7 MONTHS UPON THERESA MAY, FOR I AM BRINGING TO FULLNESS, COMPLETION AND PERFECTION MY KINGDOM PLANS AND PURPOSES UPON THE 7 MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE IN THIS NATION”, says God.

On hearing these words, I saw a divine visitation and a divine encounter taking place in the life of Theresa May, the next 7 months will not only be a life-changing 7 months for Theresa May personally and spiritually but it will be a key time and a crucial time prophetically for us as a Nation.

THINGS ARE ABOUT TO BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT, GOD IS ABOUT TO REVEAL HIS GLORY AND POWER IN A NEW WAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

In the next 7 months as a Nation we are going to see the 7 Spirits of God begin to move mightily and suddenly upon the 7 mountains of Influence in the land, there will be such an acceleration and momentum taking place in the realms of the spirit that it will cause a mighty shifting and shaking to take place especially over the mountain of Government, Religion and Family, I hear these words, “A Special Forces Army of Mighty Awakeners and Reformers are now emerging and advancing in greater power and authority over the 7 mountains of influence, not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit you shall reclaim what has been stolen, recover what has been lost and revive what has been dead, as My Special Forces Army you shall rebuild the ancient ruins, pursue and overtake your enemies, overturn and overthrow every stronghold and throne of darkness, you shall occupy new ground and establish My Kingdom purposes of in the land”.

I Prophesy Over the next 7 months we will see the 7 Spirits of God moving in an unprecedented and unexpected way in our Nation, we will see and feel the tangible Power of His Glory gaining even greater momentum and acceleration over every sphere of influence, there will be a sudden manifestation of even greater Signs, Wonders and Miracles that will be birthed right across this Great Nation.

I Decree, In this next 7 months many in the body Christ in this Nation will begin to receive a new level and a new dimension of supernatural sight, divine wisdom, kingdom strategy and supernatural revelation. BE EXPECTANT AND BE READY? For God is releasing a finishers anointing for mighty Breakthrough in this hour and season, His Image Bearers are being freshly empowered and enabled to stand steadfast and strong against the powers of increasing darkness, I believe the hand of God is bringing to fullness and completion in this season what He started in the last season, and those that have been living in isolation and in the darkness of the caves shall suddenly Arise, Shine and go forth to reflect the true light, likeness, life and Power of the King of Glory, and like a moth to a flame those that have been living in deep darkness will suddenly see a great light and they will be drawn out and delivered from the pit of death and destruction. We will See and Testify to the Spirit of Truth removing the scales that have blinded many to their true Identity and Kingdom Destiny in this Nation, true Sonship is now being birthed.

Watch! For In the next 7 months many will see the Unquenchable Fires of God sweeping across our Nation, many will hear the sound of mighty rushing waters as the Rivers of Life and Liberty flow forth from their bellies upon a dry and parched land, many will see great mountains being Levelled and deep valleys being filled, many will feel the mighty Winds of His Resurrection Power beginning to blow upon the dry bones in this Nation, many will feel and experience the breath of Heaven breathing new life and new vision over that which has laid spiritually dormant and decayed.

Here below is a word I posted exactly 7 months ago I feel it is significant for the season we have now entered into as a Nation.: Continue reading

Lana Vawser: Rosh Hashana 5777 – I saw Jesus coming with a sword in His hand

LanaVawser‘As I spent time with Jesus today as Rosh Hashanah is upon us. I had a vision where I saw Jesus coming into the lives of believers and He was dressed as a warrior and had a HUGE SWORD in His hand.

“The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name” (Exodus 15:3)

‘He moved towards God’s people with such intentionality and victory. Each one of His steps was like the most skilled of warriors. His eyes FULL OF FIRE!!! As He moved towards God’s people He was wielding His sword back and forth. Every move SO precise. Every move made with perfect intention. The sense surrounded me that the Lord has been working deeply in the hearts and souls of His people in the last month, digging at roots and areas of demonic assault, all preparation for what He was about to do…’ continue reading on Lana’s blog

England

Originally posted on 24th May 2014 this prophetic vision is now featured on the home page in view of June’s successful referendum for Britain to leave the EU:

Fantastic! Thank you Lord for this blessing to my friend Tony in Tucson. A later post refers to a similar picture on a card for guests at the previous year’s Christmas breakfast, where my wife had brought a message: On The Majesty of His Majesty, King of Kings.

Tony's avatarMy Dreams and Visions

I saw in a vision 05/23/2014, the country of England rise up but not completely out of the water, it seemed to become more prominent than it had before.  I saw a crown above the country sort of like the one pictured below but instead this one was covered with what looked like diamonds and light seemed to be radiating from the crown as it hovered over the country and giving that same light to the country.

Prophetic words on Britain and the EU’s demise cont’d

To continue on the double ‘coincidence’ of receiving a ‘joint message’ on the two themes on which I’d published a blog: first, the last night of the Proms – secondly, my recollection of the word received by one of those parties on the demise of the EU.:

News of expected stiff opposition to Brexit at the weekend’s summit of EU chieftains in Bratislava was ludicrous in view of national divisions and deep disquiet within the Union. In addition, there are several prophecies over many years about the Lord’s desire for Britain to get out of the EU whilst the going’s good. (See 16 prophecies listed here.)

In particular, I was minded of the very clear statement received by David Noakes last November and which some enthusiastic prophecy-buffs may have seized upon to the consternation of one of my cyber-friends.  Nevertheless, being addressed to “Nation of Britain” it’s highly relevant and the pertinent part reads:

“…Rather than rely on Me and my faithfulness to you, you chose, for worldly purposes, to join yourself to an institution which has denied my Name and refused to acknowledge Me in its councils. My fierce anger is upon that institution on account of its rebellion, its defiant rejection of me and its hardness of heart towards my ancient people Israel.

“I warn you now that the European institution will not repent, even though I bring disaster and destruction upon it. I urge you, O Britain still beloved by Me for the sake of your godly forefathers, come out of her, so that you may not be caught up in that same destruction, for I am even now arising in judgment to bring to nothing what she has sought to achieve. If you will separate yourself from her declared rejection of God, I will have mercy upon you and restore my hand of protection; and I will use you once again to bring light to many lost in the darkness which is now steadily increasing.

“Hear Me, O once godly nation and respond to my call, or you also will come to ruin in that same judgment of destruction. This is not my will for you, but you must choose the course which you will take. I urge you to respond to Me and choose life under my hand of discipline and protection, rather than death in the disaster which is even now coming upon Europe.” (UK/EU in/out #4: Prophetic Warning Urges “Come Out!”)

And so I was musing upon that theme and how current events will be affected by God’s plans and actions. Therefore, I was stunned to be updated only hours later!  Clifford Hill introduces the new message on what the Lord’s about to do in Britain and our need to be encouraged, whilst bringing expected disaster upon the EU, as follows.:

BRITAIN AT THE CROSSROADS (From A Prophetic Word To Britain)

C Hill 163835‘Today Britain is at the crossroads! We are a nation under judgement. We crossed a red line when we defied the God of Creation who made us in his own image – male and female – and we dared to redefine marriage, despising the beautiful love relationship that God intended for his people. Forty years ago we joined ourselves in a pact with European nations driven by humanist values and infiltrated by Satanists. They seek to live in unity and peace but are doomed to failure by their rejection of the Prince of Peace.

‘God has mercifully given to Britain the chance of deliverance from the marriage with the European Union and the opportunity to forge a new role in the world under his blessing. This could be a sign and powerful witness to the nations of the rewards that are open to all who seek a right relationship with God and are prepared to love and obey him.

‘There are many in Britain today who are fearful of the future because they lack understanding of the word of God and lack faith in the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many churchgoers who share that fear because they too have never really learned to recognise the word of the Lord as the sheep recognise the voice of their own Shepherd. But God is loving and merciful and he has a word for those who are anxious about the future since the vote to leave the EU. My friend and colleague David Noakes and I have worked together in the prophetic Ministry since the early 1980s. David received a word this week which I commend to all our readers.

‘Please read it prayerfully and weigh it carefully. I think it may bring you a blessing.’

A WORD OF PROPHECY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE BREXIT VOTE 

“Beloved, you who are called by My Name, I want to say to you in these days, when there is confusion and turmoil and upheaval: Do not be alarmed or concerned, for I am fully in control. I have brought about these circumstances, and my adversary is full of rage, and would like to oppose and if possible, to undo, that which I have done.

“My word to you is that I have done a good work, but I call upon you who are faithful to stand firm and to persevere in prayer that the work which I have begun will proceed to the conclusion which I have purposed. The task is far from complete and it is not a time for complacency, so be vigilant and continue to pray that I will complete the work. It will not be a short or an easy battle, so have courage and do not be tempted to lose heart.

“Have gentle hearts towards those who are confused and upset and distressed. There are those who feel that the nation is being thrown into exile, and this is causing them to feel afraid and angry, but they do not know that it is I who have brought this about. But I say that this seeming exile is in order to preserve you. You in Britain are like the good figs who were taken into exile before judgment fell (Jeremiah 24).

“There will be great darkness and upheaval in the European institution; but I have done this in your nation at this time in order to preserve you.

“Therefore, look up and be greatly encouraged, because out of this time of turmoil and upheaval will come great opportunity. Those of you who are committed to me I will uphold, I will protect, and I will send upon you a new outpouring of My Spirit, that you may speak My word in Spirit and in Truth; and My Spirit will bear witness to it and it shall bring forth fruit.

“I do not say that your whole nation will turn to Me, for that will not be the case; but beloved, I will bring multitudes into a valley of decision and many will turn to Me, for despite the apostasy which has gripped the nation, I have not failed to love the nation of Britain, and in My grace and mercy, I will continue to pour My love upon you, even though you have angered Me greatly.

“Take heart, be encouraged and look up. I will walk with you through the time of turmoil and upheaval. There will be those who will hate you for the testimony you will give, but I will cause many to repent and acknowledge that what you say is truth; for beloved, My people have been failed by many who now lead them, but I am come as the great Shepherd of the sheep. I want to recover My people and to gather many others into My sheepfold.

“Therefore be of good heart, and be afraid of nothing, for in the events of these times I am fully involved, and I will walk with you, every one of you, on every step of the uncharted path which lies ahead.

David Noakes 11th Sept 2016 

Notes:

  • Jeremiah reference is most informative and I realised later that the EU’s strong anti-Israel stance is another reason for the Lord’s detestation of that institution.
  • Prophecies of the EU’s collapse aren’t the sole province of Christians but secular experts have predicted it too!  Eg. Alasdair Macleod, Why the EU is Doomed.

The Proms and prophecy on Britain and EU’s demise = a double ‘coincidence’!!

The post on Land of Hope and Glory Anthem should have been published last Monday but matters delayed it ’til Friday, yet I found it served to show the truth and reality of scripture:

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend (lit: ‘winnow’!) my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue (or pc!), but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit or where can I flee from Your Presence? (Psalm 139:1-6 NKJV) Selah!

Digital Globe with Hand by Watcharakun

MOREOVER, the moment I hit the ‘publish’ button an incoming email linked into almost identical wording and opinion!!  Mere coincidence or an awesome ‘God-incident’??

‘Disruption’ of Events?

  • Mon 12th intention to report on Last Night of Proms got waylaid by urgency of words on US presidential elections – and I got directed to rare, pertinent video of Trump.
  • + taking advantage of warm weather for outdoor work and other vital tasks make all online work intermittent;
  • + republishing couple of spiritual anniversary posts on due date;
  • + time to draft only bullet points on the Proms and not complete checking;
  • = Friday’s usual start of long weekend (cyber-silent). So ‘Proms’ item NOT posted!
Morning Coffee

Nero_6Unwinding over coffee and yummies with paper and crossword I laughed out loud at its front-page item – EU ploy to force UK rethink on Brexit. The strap-line reads – ‘The European Union elite seem to think the game is to make us change our minds’.

‘Senior figures in the EU believe that Britain will give up on Brexit if they make negotiations as tough as possible, The Telegraph understands. British officials are fighting to stop Europe adopting a no-compromise position in talks in the hope that the UK will change its mind about leaving the bloc...’. Other remarks show European Commission president Juncker likes insulting 17M voters’ intelligence.

Sheer folly!  I recall last November’s prophetic warning received by David Noakes (who’s known to us).

In mulling this over I recall a friend’s very recent vision regarding judgement on Parliament and wonder if this may be related to political consequences of trying to disrupt the Lord’s plans for New Britain, or even those of arrogantly changing His ordinance of marriage? We agreed it’s important to complete my final version about what happened to Nina and publish that mid-afternoon.

A Trip in a Time Machine

Hand with News icon - WatcharakunHad last Thursday been the usual full blogging day, subscribers would have got an email alert to that new post. The Lord, however, was at work with another writer and His hand brought that to my attention on-screen Friday!

Had it not been long-weekend offline and the actual post intruding into our time, it would have been followed by His astonishing confirmation.

So, let’s get in an imaginary time-machine and go back to when you may have read Holy Spirit Strikes During ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ Anthem.  Can you do that? Is it clear in your mind?

Open opening it you’d have read in the first paragraph that the anthem, ‘Traditionally featured with ‘Rule Britannia’ in the sensational climax to the Last Night of the Proms, was sung with exceptional gusto by a flag-waving public during the Proms 121st season.’

I’d hit the publish button at 15:30 hrs, logged off WordPress and was about to shut down my pc but checked incoming email ‘ping’ and saw it was the weekly update from Prophecy TodayUK. So I printed hard-copy to read at leisure – but the main feature STUNNED me!

As we’re in a time-machine, look at how A Prophetic Word for Britain, Clifford Hill’s joint message with David Noakes (issued at 15:04 hrs) opens:

‘I watched the Last Night of ‘The Proms’ last Saturday along with millions of other viewers and the vast open-air crowd in Hyde Park and similar gatherings in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Was it my imagination, or did anyone else detect an extra (Brexit?) fervency in the patriotism that flowed out of the Albert Hall in waves and resounded from the crowds across the road and other parts of the UK?… this year’s final night seemed to have an extra edge of enthusiasm. It was not just that a guest soloist, Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez (a foreigner!!), dressed in elaborate costume lustily sang’Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves’ but also the Finnish Conductor Sakari Oramo, (another foreigner!!) participated enthusiastically in singing ‘Jerusalem’.’

Sheer coincidence?  Regular readers will have occasionally noted how critical the timing of events can be for posts on certain matters, which strongly suggests their significance for some reason that’s ‘beyond our ken’.  Also, there’s a scriptural law of serendipity, as explained by prophecy teacher and mentor Revd Dr Sharon Stone (God-incidents).

So, in view of what I’d been reading earlier that day, I realised the importance of that word and trust you will visit PROPHECYTodayUK to consider it carefully too.

Holy Spirit strikes during ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ anthem

Many regard ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ as Britain’s national anthem, especially when sung in accompaniment to Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No.1.  Traditionally featured with ‘Rule Britannia’ in the sensational climax to the Last Night of the Proms, it was sung with exceptional gusto by a flag-waving public during the Proms 121st season.

As we watched it live last weekend and played the majestic music over surround-sound, Nina heard the words and got thoroughly ‘sizzled’ all over by the Holy Spirit’s response to the chorus’ declarations:

“Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet”

She was instantly reminded of the scrolling text the Lord showed her as troops marched to the Trooping the Colour: “This is My country!” PLUS the later prophetic word resonating with it: “The Redcoats are coming, the British are Coming!”  (Read about both events here and here.).

So, take 10 minutes to soak in this sublime national festivity, conducted splendidly with reprise, by Sakari Oramo with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. These videos clip by Daniel Whitley are courtesy of the BBC.:

This was followed by the famous song written 100 years ago based upon William Blake’s poem based upon the legend of child Jesus visiting Roman Britain during one of his uncle Joseph of Arimethea’s trading trips to the Cornish tin mines.: Continue reading

ATTENTION: Paradigm shift

Veronika West 7th Sept: A WORD FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM

“LOOK! THE CHILDREN ARE COMING CARRYING THE FIRES OF REVIVAL, A TIME OF SIFTING IS TURNING TO A TIME OF RADICAL SHIFTING”!

Two days ago I was in a time of prayer for Theresa May when I heard in the spirit the sound of a beating drum but it seemed a way off in the distance, as I continued to press into the sound, suddenly I saw an army of children marching on the horizon, I saw them dressed in garments of pure white light, they moved and advanced to the sound of the beating drum, immediately I heard the Father say,

“MY DAUGHTER BEHOLD I AM DOING A NEW THING IN THIS HOUR AND IN THIS NATION, TELL MY PEOPLE TO FORGET THE FORMER THINGS AND NOT TO EVEN CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD, NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH; YOU SHALL KNOW IT? WATCH! FOR MY LAMBS ARE ARISING AND ADVANCING IN THIS HOUR, CLOTHED IN THE FIERY GARMENTS OF REVIVAL, AND ANOINTED WITH KINGDOM POWER, AUTHORITY AND REVELATION, THESE ARE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PEACE AND PURITY WHO WILL LEAD THE SHEEP BY A NEW WAY, A WAY THAT LEADS TO A NEW LAND OF PROMISE AND VICTORY, FOR I AM RESHAPING, READJUSTING, REFASHIONING AND REBUILDING THIS NATION, ITS TIME FOR MY PEOPLE TO MOVE AND SHIFT, MOVE AND SHIFT, EYES HAVE NOT SEEN, EARS HAVE NOT HEARD AND MINDS HAVE NOT CONCEIVED WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO IN THIS NATION”, says God.

As I heard the Father speak these powerful words, I saw His hand write across the skyline the words, “PARADIGM SHIFT, IT’S TIME TO MOVE”!

Now after hearing Him speak, I began to praise Him for the NEW THING that He is doing in the midst of our Nation, when the Holy Spirit impressed upon me a picture of a ‘Drummer Boy’ who would march on the battlefield ahead of the Army beating on his drum. The picture was so clear and so powerful that I immediately looked up some details on the duties of a Drummer Boy, and this is what I found; Now among the many tasks of a drummer boy one was to beat the cadence for the soldiers that were marching. But one of his main jobs was to be the communicator for his unit. The drummer boy established communications and kept order among the units in the field. The drummer boy would use one of many drum calls for everything from assembling the troops to march, to gathering the officers for strategy meetings, and also to sound the call to advance or retreat while under enemy fire.

Drummers always remained near to a high-ranking officer to play the drum calls that would relay the officer’s orders and commands. The drummer boys were often awakened at all hours of the night to drum the call. Frequently, he would not be able to go back to sleep, because once the men were assembled and deployed, the drummers would lay down their drums and act as runners between outposts, carry stretchers or do whatever was necessary to help the unit.

I found this information incredibly exciting, enlightening, and powerfully prophetic of what God is doing and about to do with the younger generation in our Nation at the critical time!!

Veronika West republishes month-old urgent word for USA

Verinoka West FbkVeronika’s latest Facebook entry posted early yesterday reads:

I felt to repost this word this morning as I prayed for the USA!

9th August 2016
AN URGENT WORD FOR THE NATION OF AMERICA.

“IT HAS BEGUN”, says God

‘Early hours of this morning I was woken by sudden and violent jolt, immediately I was taken up into the spirit realm where I heard these words,

“IT HAS BEGUN, WATCH, As I overthrow thrones of darkness and witchcraft, WATCH as I shatter and annihilate the strength of an ungodly government in this Nation, WATCH, as I overturn the plans of the enemy, YES, even the secret plans of the wicked one shall be exposed and rendered powerless and impotent, WATCH, as I drive out those that have opposed My plans and purposes in this Nation, WATCH, as I shake, shift and radically change the direction of presidential race to the White House, WATCH, as My Governing hand now moves strategically to realign and reposition even those that are standing as candidates to become the next President of the United States of America, and many will say, BUT HOW CAN THIS BE“, says God

‘After hearing these words, I was shown a gold signet ring and again I heard a loud voice that said, “America I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, WATCH, For I will Restore to you a place of Authority and Honour among the Nations of the Earth once again“, says God.’

…Late last night while in a time of worship I suddenly heard the Spirit say,

Daughter tell My Warriors in the Nation of America to BE ALERT, TO BE SOBER, TO BE WATCHING, TO BE PRAYING, TO BE PRAISING, TO BE PRESSING AND TO BE EXPECTANT, FOR MY HAND WILL MOVE MIGHTILY AND STRATEGICALLY OVER THE NATION OF AMERICA IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, AND WATCH FOR AN ANCIENT DOOR WILL BE OPENED TO DONALD TRUMP”! ……(click above title to read in full)

Could the opening ‘ancient door’ prophesy this recorded event?

Posted on Bible Prophecy Tracker 7th Sept (link not available), their item closes with the above video clip and reads:

‘On Sunday (4 Sept), Donald Trump received a standing ovation at a black church and praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit.

As Pastor Jackson presented Trump with a Hebrew shawl (tallit), a Jewish Bible, and offered his prayers, the black audience cheered and clapped. As a Reuters cameraman became suddenly aware of the strong impact of the moment, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!”

‘The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. “ and cut the feed.’

Veronika West: an important dream and scripture for USA

In view of yesterday’s momentous significance in the US presidential elections with Hillary Clinton’s poor health when attending 15th anniversary of 9/11 memorial service (breaking news: pneumonia), what Veronika West received the preceding night 9-10th Sept will be of deep interest to my American friends (red and blue text added):

A WORD FOR AMERICA  (click for link to her Facebook entry)

GOD IS THROWING YOU A LIFE LINE IN THIS HOUR! AMERICA TAKE HOLD OF IT AND YOU WILL LIVE.
I SAW THE NATION OF AMERICA SINKING INTO A DEEP, DARK PIT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION; THEN I HEARD THE WORDS, “TAKE HOLD OF MY ROPE OF HOPE AND YOU WILL LIVE AND TRIUMPH OVER YOUR ENEMIES”.

Last night I had a very powerful but short dream about the Nation of America. I saw in the dream the Nation of America sinking slowly into a deep and dark pit of destruction and death, I could hear the loud screams and cries of thousands upon thousands of people, the sound of their screams made my blood run cold, I could hear the desperation and the panic in the voices of those that cried out to be rescued and saved, but then suddenly, in the midst of great turmoil and darkness, I heard another sound begin to rise up from the sinking Nation, as I pressed in deeper still, the sound grew louder and louder, as I listened, I could hear the sound of many more voices, I could hear the sound of music rising, rising, rising from the sinking Nation, the voices grew stronger and more powerful, then I heard the sound of the song, “Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me”, I listened and watched intently in the dream as the sound of powerful and penetrating Worship filled the atmosphere of fear and despair, then suddenly I saw the heavens open wide over the sinking Nation and I saw the brightest of light shine forth upon the American people, and like the brightest of sunrises I watched as the Nation that was once in great darkness was now being covered like a blanket in deep gold and silver, then I saw the colours of the rainbow fill the skies over the whole Nation.

As I kept watching suddenly I saw a hand coming out of the heavens and I watched as a rope with a life-ring attached to its end was thrown to the sinking Nation. My eyes were immediately drawn to the brightly coloured red life-ring that had come out of the heavens, I watched as it went forth upon the Nation, I looked again and it had words written upon its fabric, it had the words, “BY HIS BLOOD, YOU WILL TRIUMPH OVER EVIL”. then I heard a voice that said,

“IF MY PEOPLE WILL TAKE HOLD OF MY ROPE OF HOPE IN THIS HOUR, I WILL DELIVER THEM FROM THE PIT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND I WILL LEAD THEM TO NEW LIFE, LIBERTY AND GREAT TRIUMPH”.

After hearing these words my dream suddenly changed and I was handed a stop watch, the kind you would use in a running race, Now as I looked at the stop watch I saw the seconds moving very fast when suddenly the seconds stopped at the number 59 and then over to the number 60, then I heard the words, “Isaiah 59/60”, in the dream.
Here are both scriptures, please read both together, one after another, I believe this confirms the first dream I had, and it also reconfirms the word God gave me a few days ago called; THE 11th HOUR FOR AMERICA!!  Continue reading

Special September 3 – time to bring to birth

This month is extra-special in marking not only my birthday and our wedding day but also when the Lord so graciously put in a jaw-dropping appearance that prevented me – despite myself – going to my future abode (as told here). So what Veronika West heard from Him a week ago today (Monday 5th September) resonates with me:

“THIS IS YOUR LABOUR-ROOM MONTH”

HA! I just heard the Spirit say,

“Many will mark and remember this ninth month as a ‘Labour-Room month’, SHALL I BRING TO THE BIRTH, AND NOT CAUSE TO BRING FORTH? SHALL I CAUSE TO BRING FORTH AND SHUT THE WOMB?”, says God.

”EVEN NOW MY BUILDING SPIRIT IS REALIGNING, REARRANGING AND REPOSITIONING MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS FOR A TRANSFUSION OF GREATER POWER AND A TRANSFER OF GREATER KINGDOM WEALTH AND RESOURCES, THAT WHICH HAS BEEN LOCKED UP AND BLOCKED UP WILL NOW BE REVEALED AND RELEASED IN GREATER POWER, PRECISION AND AUTHORITY, FOR I AM BIRTHING A NEW THING, AND BRINGING MANY FORTH INTO A NEW PLACE OF GREATER INCREASE, INCREASE, INCREASE, MANY WILL SAY, “A NEW REALITY IS BEING BIRTHED AND A NEW LAND IS BEING REBUILT”!

“FOR THIS IS THE HOUR OF DIVINE CONVERGENCE, HEAVEN IS TOUCHING EARTH, MY WARRING SPIRIT IS SHAKING LOOSE THE OLD FOUNDATIONS AND SHIFTING THE HEAVY ATMOSPHERE OF DARKNESS, THE CHAINS OF LACK AND LIMITATION ARE BEING BROKEN, MY SPIRIT OF MIGHT AND POWER IS DEMOLISHING THE STRONGHOLDS OF POVERTY THAT HAVE DEPLETED AND DIMINISHED THE FAITH, VISION AND EXPECTATION OF MY PEOPLE”, says God.

“GET READY FOR A DEMONSTRATIONAL WIND OF MY SPIRITS POWER WHICH IS NOW BIRTHING GREATER SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES IN THE EARTH, FOR NOTHING SHALL STAND AGAINST MY RESURRECTION AND REDEMPTION POWER”!

“LISTEN! THERE IS A SOUND OF A LOUD RATTLING, THE BREATH OF NEW LIFE IS COMING UPON THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES, FOR I AM GOING TO SUDDENLY CHANGE AND TRANSFORM THE STATUS QUO, IT WILL NOT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL, BUT THAT WHICH HAS LAID DORMANT IS NOW BEING STIRRED UP, AND THAT WHICH HAS BEEN DEAD IS NOW RECEIVING THE POWER OF NEW LIFE AND THAT WHICH HAS LAID DERELICT IS NOW BEING REBUILT AND RECONSTRUCTED IN THIS HOUR”, says God.

Brexit Briefing 1 – A Word for the Queen & on praying for PM May and Britain

The following by courtesy of UK Prophetic Words serves to start a short series of posts on some developments subsequent to the successful referendum to leave the European Union (which isn’t the same as Europe):

Cindy Jacobs - FB pageCindy Jacobs [of Generals International] was interviewed on TBN recently, this is my transcript of what she said at 26 mins 50. [Free-login necessary for video.]

“As I was praying for the Queen, the Lord gave me a very sweet Word, and you know I’m an American, so we’re a little more neutral in some of these areas, but this is what the Lord says:

“The Monarchy will continue, and because of your prayers, I’m going to release a legacy and a blessing for you, down through the generations. And I will see that the United Kingdom moves in a path that will be a righteous path.”

“And God is going to give you extraordinary wisdom. England is coming into a course, and the UK is coming into a course correction; God is making a course correction, but this is the good news, God knows the course, and God knows the path, and He’s going to see, because of your prayers, and many others that love God in this beautiful country, this United Kingdom; God is going to see a great move of God across this land, and God is going to give you a wonderful time for your 90th birthday, happy birthday. And your prayers will be answered.”

BREXIT – What we need to Pray

During the run up to the European Referendum I asked the LORD His view and how to pray. He gave me three things in reply:
Firstly He repeatedly pressed upon me the word AUTONOMY, which referred to the need to vote to leave the EU.
He then said, “It’s time to cut the apron strings”. I believe this is about a clean cut to separate us from the EU, and that is what we need to pray for earnestly now.
Today please pray for Theresa May and the Cabinet, for progress in activating Article 50 and an uncompromised move to exit the EU.
He then showed me the prow of a grey ship, just the very front, turning and then moving forward to penetrate the mainland.
This shows our need as a nation to repent and allow the LORD to turn and steer us so He can use Britain for His good purposes, bringing what He has given us to carry to Europe and beyond.
To be able to turn, Britain must first cut the strings and dependency so we can come under God’s Lordship, fully dependent on Him.

To God be the glory!

Personal invitation to build the Kingdom – part 2

Thank you to Beverley Hall for kind permission to republish from Providential Joy dated Sunday 24th July 2016. It’s also got a ‘serendipity story’!:

BUILDING THE WALL – ALL HANDS ON DECK!

nehemiah-1As I meditated and worshiped – with the events (below) and building the wall story in mind – the word laid on my heart, added to when given at our fellowship gathering, is three-fold:

1. God’s hand is moving to remove hindrances to growth and moving forward in areas of resistance, doldrums and aridity. Seeds planted will be protected, with supernatural watering for growth. The foxes messing with both spiritual and physical plans, growth and fruitfulness will be removed.

2. It’s time to pick up all that God has given you to build – in one hand His Word and His Spirit in the other natural talents, passions, learning, skills, spiritual gifts etc. The cement that brings this together is the LOVE Christ Jesus gives to us freely. The opposition to building the church (no matter what that may look like I’m your area) is on the run – kingdom workers must take up their positions – arise knowing you are fully equipped and your back is protected while you work.

3. Set a watch and establish an alarm mechanism – mockers and attackers may come, but God is our strength and the work will continue and prosper. Even if your “wall” (something you are doing for God) looks fragile, insignificant or incomplete – what God has sanctioned and started will be completed.

Foxes in the garden

bh-fox-photoTwo fox cubs came tearing through my little garden last week – fleeing as if their lives depended on it. After seeing me they bounded with additional speed and leapt onto my back fence. One cub didn’t quite make it and hovered and crawled along the fence before jumping down and running off down the road.

The picture of the fox on the fence stuck in my mind and stirred in my spirit that this happening had meaning.

Motivated by this looked for biblical references. Nehemiah 4 says, “Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall.” This verse however introduces how the builders overcame opposition and discouragement. The story tells how:

  • Workers on the wall were motivated to work hard and get the job done;
  • Gaps in the wall were being closed;
  • Strategy and plans were laid to defend both builders and wall;
  • The mockers and attackers were sent packing when they heard that the builders were prepared and ready for an attack;
  • An alarm or communication was established to warn of trouble and to call people together;
  • Work continued around the clock with builders having bricks and mortar in one hand and a weapon in the other.
Footnote:

Another ‘God-incidence’! After having blogged a Kingdom-related 5th anniversary, which became ‘filling’ (or ‘mortar’!) in a Come Build With Him ‘sandwich’ (part 1 of this post), I started catching up with last week’s email. One was about London’s Tower Bridge:

bhall-tower-bridge

Recipients read blogger Beverley’s covering remark, “I trust you find (it) encouraging and uplifting – especially if you’ve been in a season or time where “nothing” seems to be happening. Whether we can see or feel things in the natural or not – the river is flowing beneath your feet. My prayer is that you’ll start to smell and feel the water of life”. Amen!

In view of my recollections of central London I replied on Monday, “This is particularly interesting because I could see Tower Bridge from my desk looking toward Cannon St railway bridge from my office building by Southwark Bridge. [A nearby demolition site’s plaque recorded the site of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.] That was in early 80’s before the new Globe was built and sparked off a deepening interest in Elizabethan and Jacobean history as the area played a central role in London’s history. Also in that connection I’d been musing over the anniversary of a dream I had relating to where I’d worked and the coming Kingdom, as recounted in recent blogs”. (Fascinating to discuss that location and history with our guest at that evening’s meal too.)

That and the day’s blog prompted an astonished reply that she had been led “to writing a “building” word.  This seems to be a clarion call to the church across the UK.”  

I agree and have emphasised because all these recent messages are prophetic of very promising developments in our area – and have already been picked up by an assigned leader! 

Also, Glasgow Prophetic Centre informs me that, as a church, they’ve “been deep in Nehemiah and Ezra since January. Nehemiah is very much the book of the season!”

So let’s be ‘Builder Bob’ with the Lord…

Our personal invitation to build the Kingdom – part 1

My doubt that Adam and Eve were the very first people met a chuckle but got no answer. My devout mother was amused at her pre-school son asking, “But who built their house?” To my boyish mind someone must have been around to do that.

Upon recalling that early memory decades later I can see the funny side – but more so in view of what I’d written last week for publishing on Saturday as 5th anniversary of a dream about the Kingdom of God being set up. That had been confirmed by not only a prophetical concurrent comment from Bill Johnson but also, and especially by, how exactly part of my dream matched Christen Forster’s interpretation of the Hebrew text that describes the rebuilding of the Temple in Ezra 4.

Also over the last few days I’ve been mulling over the mismatch between modern church and Jesus’ personal promise at Matthew 16:18 against demonic power portals,

“I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it”

Lion-Bites-logo-2012SO, I was most amazed on Saturday to find that Friday’s LionBites word from Glasgow Prophetic Centre is about building the Kingdom!  This impels me to urge you to view this as of the Lord and to weigh and act upon it accordingly. Part 2 is published today and the whole message reads as follows:  Continue reading

Special September #2 – a Kingdom 5th anniversary today

Five years ago this morning I awoke from a most unusual visit to central London. And that weekend’s events were to prove decisive in my starting this blog.

Two days earlier on Thursday 1st September 2011 the Revival Alliance, an apostolic team of leaders who’d been closely involved with the Toronto Outpouring and later events, met hundreds of other revivalist leaders for a long-weekend in Emmanuel Church in Marsham Street, Westminster.

Hand and puzzle pieces - Anusorn p Nachol

So now, five years later, I’m surprised to be reminded of it – but things of the Lord are no longer so unusual.  We could say He’s running a paper-chase and leaving a trail for us to follow and catch Him! However, more often than not so little effort is needed because He doesn’t scatter His data indiscriminately but drops them like pieces of a puzzle into our hands. We should, therefore, ‘grasp’ what they are and fit them into a vast, unseen jigsaw puzzle.

220px-Paul_Revere's_rideThe latest piece depicts Paul Revere’s historic ride before the opening battles in the American Revolution to alert citizens that troops of British king George III are about to attack (more here). Readers of my recent post on the spiritual link between UK and USA will have read at its close how a reminder of the event had unexpectedly cropped up.  Had I completed that post when I drafted it last week then I doubt this would have happened. That is, I could well have missed an insight into what happened back in 2011 and its relevance to what the Lord’s now doing in the UK.

Ruminating over and repeatedly blogging about the prophetic word Lydia Marrow brought two months ago yesterday, and its very personal connection with what Nina had seen at 11th June’s traditional royal ceremony, may have stirred my memory – but it’s far more likely the Lord engineered the timing to point to it as being special.

To return to the gathering five years ago, a few days later when writing to Christen Forster, who’d had a prophetic word relating to Ezra 4 about building the house of the Lord and thus desired to convene a meeting of the Revival Alliance in the UK, I learnt about other sources of inspiration at its inception meeting in November 2010. This extract from that meeting’s Report refers to Paul Revere’s ride:

Paul Revere Refc

Tim’s remark about that spreading of vision and creation of a network may be regarded not only as meaning RA-related events alone but, in my humble opinion, could also imply that digital networks be developed and expanded to inform and update Christians on prophetic and intercessory matters.

In this connection and for readers who may not have had opportunity to follow the links in that previous post, let me now relate what happened five years ago today, on Saturday 3rd September 2011. I had a most unusual dream as reported to Christen and to the leaders of Winchester Vineyard Church during their de-briefing meeting and emailed them, as later published in one of my earliest blogs (20 December 2011, as linked below):

‘YOUR KINGDOM COME

‘I’m in an open-plan, modern office environment overlooking a town centre. Upon glancing out of one side’s extensive windows I’m amazed to see a large white cube flying very low over nearby buildings! (It’s about the size of a Hercules transport plane.) Watching, I see a few more similar cubes follow and fan out in different directions.

‘Then I look from a different quarter’s aspect to see where they’re coming from and notice this view is from a much higher floor and over a different location! Then, a couple of cubes hover and discharge some cargo, which floats down to settle on the ground – rather as furniture vans deposit items outside a house.

‘However, I’m seeing into a room being set up, as though the building itself is invisible! A large wooden table and its several chairs are already there as white porcelain bathroom furnishings descend, but remain hanging in space!

‘In a flash I understand what’s happening and, without thinking, hear myself comment aloud, “They’re setting up The Kingdom!”

‘Someone else watching disparagingly quips, “Oh, that’s your perspective”.

‘Again I’m surprised by my immediate, unconscious retort, “I studied perception at Uni!” (ie. in physics and in psychology, and am thus making a well-informed comment.)

‘A sudden urgency comes upon me to dash home with this news. Jumping into a car I find my normal route out of the building diverted and a huge vehicle tries to collide with me. Dodging that I drive up a slip road onto a choked road but find this very basic car becomes seriously under-powered.

‘So I get out to walk yet find all hard paving has turned into lush green grass of wide-open meadows. The congested road’s gone and I’m sliding down a well-worn grass slide to then run, or move, much faster than I can really run across an extensive area. I head a few dozen feet above the land, as though in a glider, and some very large object or person rushes from the left to block my path. Totally unfazed, I deliberately collide into it and it smashes into oblivion without halting or affecting my movement.

‘On the nearby horizon an unusual low building looms into view but, as I approach this destination, the alarm clock goes off!!

‘An initial interpretation came with great excitement in view of several revival meetings this month. I believe the Lord gave the above heading for my note of this lucid dream.

‘All this needed weighing BUT I didn’t expect confirmation and more insights not only in connection with the Gathering itself but also with the prophetic word reported at the Gathering’s Inception Meeting in Nov 2010!…’

This continues with details of three subsequent days’ events, as revealed in Father Let Your Kingdom Come.  There, you will read why and how that dream’s location directly tied in with the RA gathering’s venue. It was only much later upon reading an account of the event that I received confirmation of my declaration “They’re setting up the Kingdom!” in its echoing the idea behind what Californian Bill Johnson offered there in London:

“We would look back at 1st September 2011 as the day things changed in the UK.”

David Edward Pike, a Welsh delegate, noted that Bill went to say it might take time for the impact of this day to be seen and felt across the nation, but gradually it would come. Chris Welch of Hampshire also noted him as saying,

“There’s something about September 1st. I believe you can write it down…‘Everything changed September 1st 2011’….understand that a Kingdom perspective sees the oak tree as an acorn…I feel like it’s a prophetic word over this country: September 1st everything’s different.”

Of course we need a spiritually-minded historian’s take on events, but we do have a few things to ponder over with the Lord in connection with current events…Bill’s reference to growth from an acorn is particularly relevant to Christian ministry too.

As a personal consequence, that first week of September 2011 marked the tipping point in my decision to start blogging because, as indicated in that dream, the news of increasing Kingdom developments needed to be broadcast far more widely – and in public – than by private circulation of emails to my inter-church friends and leaders.

Visitation time – a posting from UK Prophetic Words

I’ve had an interesting correspondence with Tony Puccio in America about the following word’s possible application, courtesy of UK Prophetic Words. I invite intercessors to consider and weigh with the Lord; and in connection with Tony’s vision of an incident at the Big Ben clock tower (as here), which may be a warning of attack or point to political upheaval:

I AM COMING WITH MY POWER LIKE FIRE

Stay on your toes in passion and hunger and desperation for I am coming says the Lord to do a work, I am coming says the Lord to move by My power like never before. I am coming, says the Lord to break down the things of man. I am coming to tear apart says the Lord, the systems of religion, and I am coming with My power like fire says the Lord, to do a work says the Lord, that you’ve never yet seen says the Lord.

For I am the God of heaven, I am the great I Am, says the Lord, and nothing shall stop My purposes says the Lord, in the earth, and in My church. For I am coming says the Lord, so get ready get ready says the Lord, get ready, says the Lord, get down on your knees, get into intercession says the Lord, get ready. Cry out to your God, for says the Lord, I am coming,  and thus says the Lord, when I come says the Lord, when I come there shall be no room for man’s plans, there shall be no room for man’s designs, and man’s programmes, says the Lord. For I will come and they will be stripped away says the Lord, and the power and the demonstration of God shall be known in the earth and in the church says the Lord, like never before.

So says the Lord, when you see these things, when you see those things start to come to pass, look up says the Lord, look up, for says the Lord, I am coming to do a quick work in the earth, and I say to you My people today, get down on your faces, cry out to your God, for says the Lord there is coming a disruption, yes says the Lord in the earth but in My church also. For I am coming to cause disruption.  Eagles are going to be thrown out the nest says the Lord, and things are going to move says the Lord in mighty power when I come with My  winnowing fork , I come to sort out says the Lord, those things that shall remain and those things that shall be burned in the fire.

For says the Lord, I am a holy God, I am a mighty God, and I will come says the Lord by My power, so be ready says the Lord, be hungry says the Lord. Keep pressing in says the Lord, keep pressing in, says the Lord for I am coming to do a great work, and a quick work in the earth.

Special September #1 – in Holy Spirit’s slipstream

A stirring word of strong encouragement published on Bank Holiday Monday by Veronika West on her Ignite Ireland Ministry facebook:

“IN SEPTEMBER YOU WILL BE ACCELERATED, ADVANCED, RESTORED, RENEWED AND REFRESHED IN THE SLIPSTREAM OF HIS SPIRIT”

As I began to pray a few days ago about the month of September, I clearly and distinctly heard the Holy Spirit say these words,

“IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS AHEAD I WILL ACCELERATE, ADVANCE AND GIVE MY PEOPLE SUPERNATURAL REST, RENEWAL AND REFRESHING IN THE SLIPSTREAM OF MY SPIRIT”.

Then I saw the Body of Christ like a flock of flying geese, as I looked again I saw the flock flying in a V-shaped formation, immediately I was reminded of a bird study that I did on geese with my son for a school project. Continue reading

A linkage between Awakening in the UK and in the USA

Hitch-hiker and author of High Plains Drifter, Tim Shey, opens his comment on Prophetic words on Great Britain as sports-superpower, as follows:

‘I was reading the Psalms the other day and in Psalm 103: 31 it is written:“And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.”

‘I thought about Great Britain when I read that scripture. Look at all the saints that died preaching the Gospel in Britain and the ones who died translating the Bible into English. Look at what happened in England during the 1600s: the King James Bible, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution: these greatly influenced the formation of the United States and other nations. The Lord will never forget Great Britain. The most influential language on the planet is English.’

With that in mind, note how appropriate that is for what we were to hear later that Monday evening whilst watching the recently delivered dvds from Legacy 2016.  I wanted to check the full content of Lydia Marrow’s address that I’d blogged about the previous week.

Therefore, let’s consider what followed after the powerful prophecy delivered under Holy Spirit’s anointing on 2nd July. Lydia’s ‘topping and tailing’ of it gives some background to her great excitement!

After Nathan Morris speaks about the vision of Shake The Nations he hands the mike to Lydia to introduce herself and her role in STN and she says:

“I used to be shy – I used to hide behind the pews in my dad’s church and when Jesus set me free in the Brownsville Revival I got up and I was a different person. I lost my ‘normal’ – my ‘normal’ died in the carpet in Pensacola, Florida – so please don’t try to resurrect it!

“I know I’m supposed to do another thing but I feel like an explosion – would it be alright if I prophesied now, ok? I feel like I’m about to blow up y’all.”  [Reader, if you’ve not yet run seen this very brief video now’s the time to do so – Full transcript here.]

Immediately after declaring “The British are coming!” Lydia encourages everyone to stand, pray and praise for a minute…closing with, “I feel better for that – d’y’all feel better?”

“I refuse to be bored in church and this pastor’s daughter decided a long time ago: I refuse to be bored in church – if we’re not going to meet with God let’s go home!

“It’s just such an honour to be here. In case you’re wondering why I’m so passionate about God pouring His Spirit in the UK, history tells us that the United Kingdom and the United States do not have Awakening apart from one another! (emphasis added)

“You’ve got to break through! We need it too! In fact, it seems to me that lately our nations are all shook up…I felt so much better when I got here and everyone started resigning. Thank God we’re not the only crazy people!

“We’ve got to have a move of God…I don’t know if you know it but there’s no ‘Plan B’!  We don’t have a better idea – there’s no comfort zone to have anymore. We’ve got to have a move of God.

“You know, and I believe – and you’ve seen it in these services – there comes a moment in each service when you’ve got this option to do what your idea was, or to cooperate with the Holy Ghost…There’s a cooperation with the Holy Spirit that comes, and when we choose to say “Yes” to that – when you choose to lock into that – everything changes.”

Each time we watch her delivering this prophecy the Holy Spirit confirms its authenticity by sparking within us, as when He ‘struck’ during Trooping of the Colour.  If this sort of ‘event’ is new to you then please consider the introductory remarks of that link.

[Continuing writing 5 days later after long Bank Holiday Weekend…]

Long-time readers may have noticed an increase in my blogging about a spiritual linkage between the UK and USA, especially regarding words delivered under the Holy Spirit’s unction. These got tagged Bridge Over The Pond. So I’m now skimming through these to add a couple more items to the suggested reading list below.

I find the very first blog on this topic may itself be especially significant – it’s Get Ready… and refers to historic Paul Revere’s Ride.  [Even typing that brings up ‘goose bumps’!  And maybe it’s in conjunction with Kenny Peavy and band singing Holy, Holy Is The Lord Our God!!]

WOW – how can I share what’s coming in this timing? I’m reminded of Lydia prophesying, “The Redcoats are coming. The British are coming!” – reputedly Paul Revere’s alarm call to fellow colonialists in Massachusetts as he and two others rode from Boston on the night of 18th April 1775.

But today those words are are spiritual alarm call to the new Awakening!

And this ‘God-incidence’ brings a download of insights into a dream of almost 5 years ago when I saw and heard “The Kingdom is being set up”. That was the same day Bill Johnson prophesied that weekend in Sept 2011 may be regarded as a turning point in the UK (see Father Let Your Kingdom Come.)  A preparatory report of 2010 to that Revival Alliance Gathering referred to the relevance of that ‘ride’ but this is no longer available on the web.

I can but conclude, therefore, a great deal is happening in the heavenlies to bring about a massive shift within our historically linked nations. Ours has already begun…
