As well as circulating email news to church leaders of ‘An Awakening Season’, as in the previous post, Michael Marcel also separately reported how salvation came to two people of other faiths.:
Testimony (email 29th April)
A Hindu woman was walking in Leicester last week. She had struggled with depression for a long time and she saw in a vision a man dressed in white walk up to her and say, “Go to the house on your street with number 2 on it and a woman there will tell you how to restore your heavy heart”.
She went straight home, walked down her street to house number 2 and a Christian lady who has been saved out of the Hindu faith answered the door bell. She told this woman the vision of the man in white, and the lady promptly shared the gospel and prayed for her. She was saved and healed and came to church the following day! She is now sharing her new-found faith with her family; all of them have seen that she is no longer depressed and want to know what happened.
God is definitely on the move in this nation!
Another Testimony (email 1st May)
A Muslim man in Leicester had a dream; in the dream he saw a man dressed in white standing next to a cross, the man in white told him to go to the clock tower tomorrow at 12pm and a man who (will be) standing there will tell you what you must do.
The next day he went to town and found a street preacher at the clock tower, he told the preacher his dream and was then saved as a result. The same night this Muslim man had a dream that his sister in the Middle-East had a similar dream, except she was told to call her brother in the evening, On phoning her brother told her what had happened and shared the gospel and she was saved!
Thank and praise you Lord for what you are doing in bringing not-yet-believers into the Kingdom.
In delighted astonishment we heard BBC News voice-over-video headlines announce on Christmas Day that the Queen had said,
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Moreover, I realised that by declaring a scriptural statement as Head of the Church of England and hereditary Defender Of The Faith, and in its being heralded and announced by national media, our longest reigning monarch’s biblical declaration has the power of a prophetic decree. (If you’re unfamiliar with this principle see this two-part report on spiritual alignment and decrees.)
The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast to the Commonwealth follows the pattern set by King George V (her grandfather) in the very first broadcast in 1932. Upon introducing this startling innovation he opened it with, “I speak now from my home and from my heart to you all“.
Yearly our sister in the Lord refers to her Christian belief as a source of inspiration and comfort. This Christmas Her Majesty made no bones about the majesty of her faith, as in forthright yet gracious remarks about the Good News of God in the birth of Jesus Christ..
Soon after opening, Her Majesty speaks about reflecting upon the year’s events,
“Many people say the first Christmas after losing a loved one is particularly hard. But it’s also a time to remember all that we have to be thankful for.
“It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year, but the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.”
Jesus’ Message of Love
She continues by referring to the custom Queen Victoria and Prince Albert introduced of using fir-trees at Christmas, and every year since WWII the people of Oslo send a huge tree for erection in Trafalgar Square. (Over 1,000 years ago our Saxon kings brought our ancient Viking enemies to Christ, especially Olaf 1 of Norway.)
Furthermore, Her Majesty related this and Jesus’ birth to the contemporary migration of refugees to Europe:
“…(this London tree) has five hundred light-bulbs and is enjoyed not just by Christians but by people of all faiths, and of none. At the very top sits a bright star, to represent the Star of Bethlehem.
“The custom of topping a tree also goes back to Prince Albert’s time. For his family’s tree, he chose an angel, helping to remind us that the focus of the Christmas story is on one particular family.
“For Joseph and Mary, the circumstances of Jesus’s birth — in a stable – were far from ideal, but worse was to come as the family was forced to flee the country. It’s no surprise that such a human story still captures our imagination and continues to inspire all of us who are Christians, the world over.
“Despite being displaced and persecuted throughout his short life, Christ’s unchanging message was not one of revenge or violence but simply that we should love one another. Although it is not an easy message to follow, we shouldn’t be discouraged; rather, it inspires us to try harder: to be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives, and to look for ways of spreading that love to others, whenever and wherever we can.” (Emphasis added.)
Read her message in full on the official website The British Monarchy, or watch the above video.
‘The Queen used her Christmas Day broadcast to make one of her most overtly religious addresses to the nation in recent years. Quoting directly from the Gospel of John, she spoke of light which “shines in the darkness” which she described as a “verse of great hope”.
‘Reflecting on the past 12 months, the monarch said: “It is true that the world has had to confront moments of darkness this year. But the Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope, often read at Christmas carol services: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.”
‘Britain’s religious leaders are in the mood for telling home truths. In a stark Christmas sermon, the Most Rev Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, compared the Jihadist threat to King Herod, to whom Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, also alluded. In the Bible, Herod orders the massacre of young children in a delirious attempt to kill Jesus Christ. In today’s Middle East, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) is no less bloodthirsty.
‘It murders critics and religious minorities, enforcing its religious code with violence. It represents a fanatical perversion of Islam, and to defeat it, the West must understand its motivations. Religious leaders, educated in theological nuance, are well placed to decode its language. Archbishop Welby told congregants that it seeks to trigger an “apocalypse… defined by themselves and heralded only by the angel of death”. Isil cannot coexist with Western democracy. It is hell-bent on destroying it.’
I’ve underscored the essential key to the solution that too many illiterate and misinformed political leaders have totally ignored to people’s peril.
A viral video in which an Israeli teenager describes what happened and what he learnt about the return of the Messiah whilst clinically dead is making waves around the world. Being controversial as well as fascinating, it raises many questions and reservations.
I first thank a contributor ‘over the pond’ for sending me the information late last month as well as folk here at Father’s House of Prayer for emailing me this week, thereby spurring me into action!
I’d read the first report but not had opportunity to see the video until a few days ago and, having now done so, I recognise its great importance. So I’m posting the video and links to covering articles for your earliest attention. As the video drew to a close I especially noted that the boy shares an insight directly related to my own observation about the date which he refers to on the End-times! (See Tuesday’s post on September’s importance).
(Details of End-times begin at 27:30 mark. My observations will follow in next post.)
As you assess teenage Natan’s account with what Jesus teaches, also watch his face as he recounts the good and troubling parts of what he learned and saw in the ‘movie of the future’.
Also, international body-language expert Susan Constantine’s professional assessment may be read here. (BIN claims her particular expertise lies in detecting deception.)
“Who is like the wise man, and who knows the meaning of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the boldness of his face is changed.” (Ecclesiastes 8:1)

The week after I’d marinated fruit for three days and then baked our Christmas cake I was sent the following by Patsy Southway wherein I read she’d also baked a cake!
Here’s Patsy’s reflections and insights from PICK Ministries posted on 29th November.:
‘Last night as I was journaling, I saw a long line in the sand – the Lord said that many of his children have been persistent in prayer, with declarations and believing hearts and have been patiently waiting to see the results – the breakthroughs.
Preparation ’But Father has been preparing OUR hearts to move into the ENLARGEMENT of His Kingdom that is coming. He reminded me that as I made a Christmas cake this week, the amount of ingredients, the time mixing it altogether and then, of course, the hours it took to cook, was a lot of preparation so that we can enjoy a slice or two of Christmas cake!
How much more, the preparation of our hearts. He is such a faithful Father, rich in mercy and compassion, loving us beyond our comprehension.
Birthing ’In a previous blog I wrote on the BIRTHING of Gods promises which He confirmed to me on the same day, while I was in a bank and a school room in the Czech Republic. His promises have NOT changed! He is bringing together ALL that he has promised.
Times and seasons are in his hands – Eccls 3
CROSSING OVER ’This long line that I saw in the sand, was very long. I could see some people were right up against it and others not too far away. I sensed that God was showing me wherever they were on their journey depended on where they were positioned with Him,; they would all come to the line before crossing over. There were no shortcuts!
‘Today is the last day of November and tomorrow brings the start of a new month, December. ‘Shiftings’ have continued throughout this year, and as we move into the final month of 2015 and the time of CROSSING OVER this line in the sand has come, I could see HUGE waves of blessing were falling upon us as times of ABUNDANCE and REFRESHING had come!
‘It’s been a long haul for many of us but everything is for a Divine Purpose – it’s all about KNOWING HIM and making HIM KNOWN.’
ON REVIVAL
The subscriber who sent me a copy of the above commented that on the previous evening “the Lord spoke to our church and said in the next few weeks we would begin to see the first signs of revival”.
In view of what William Smith shared over lunch a few weeks ago on revival, I forwarded the email to him. That he’s truly a humble servant of the Lord is clearly evident in the way he told his testimony, this part of which I’m sharing with his kind permission:
“I came to faith at 15 years of age and was preaching on the streets of Liverpool before I was 16. Preaching came so naturally to me that I knew that I was born for such an honour. I spent hours in prayer and bible study as a youth, while making time to be involved in some church based activity most nights of the week. ( I was born into and out of a Baptist background).
“Seeking God in prayer for my life, knowing that my dreams of being a footballer, or an actor, or classical singer were now irrelevant because of the fire in my soul, I lived in a desperation to hear His heart for me. I knew Bible College awaited me and it was during these prayer times that Father spoke so clearly to me. He said :
“You will see major revival in this land in your lifetime and you will be instrumental in its happening.”
‘The term ” in your lifetime” was stamped on my mind and spirit. It meant that I would physically be on the earth and hands on in this revival. I would not be a witness from heaven to the events.’
That was 1963 and so Bill’s been carrying a prophetical promise for over 50 years just as Arthur Burt did (details here). I shared that I know the awesome nature of such promises. (Years ago my wife and I were briefly commanded, “Await His return!”, by a well-known prophet as he quickly walked by intent on talking to someone else.)
Bill thanked me for the copy email of Patsy’s and commented as follows.
‘It is a very encouraging word as well as confirming so much we are hearing from Abba God right now…
‘Something I noted in her words. The waves of blessings do not disturb the line in the sand. I see real significance in that. It is not a temporary line, it is established in Father’s plan and purpose. The waves of blessing may well be a means of many reaching and crossing the line.Not to be sad spectators, rather to become fully involved in the great commission of these last days.
Kenzel kindly commented on the previous post about accelerating eschatology as follows: “I’m astonished. When I wrote ‘The Quickening’, I had no idea what could be in store…and the pace seems to be intensifying!” So here’s what he wrote in June (interesting thread too) :
Beyond that I’ve heard it as if it were a whisper in the wind.
The word: “Quickening”
I know a lot of people are reluctant to talk about The End of Days or End Times or The Tribulation. I imagine it frightens them. When I’ve accidentally happened upon the topic in conversation I hear:
“I don’t want to think about it,”
“I don’t want to talk about it,”
“It’s never gonna happen, it hasn’t for millennia”
“If God was coming, He would have come by now.”
The hard truth and reality is people (surrounded by a comfortable culture) don’t want to think or talk about something that might compromise, challenge or cause them to forfeit creature comforts.
Look at the bullet points above. And then consider what you might have to DO if you found out you were terminally ill? You WOULD…
Since starting mid-monthly meetings in March for healing and miracles in Birmingham, Harvest Ministries have noted an increasing occurrence of physical healings. These sessions are held in the New Bingley Hall where the Revival Alliance met in 2012, as mentioned in An ‘invisible jigsaw’ falls into place… A fortnight ago today John Arnott was the guest speaker and his daughter Lori reports the following incredible blessings:
Bob – came to April meeting with cancer (COCP) – totally healed!

Thank and praise you Lord for touching these folk. May Your glory be increasingly on display in our land.
Buzzing with irritation up in the corner of our conservatory warmed by the morning sun, a bumble bee distracts me from starting to tap out my thoughts. Catching it with a fishing net and rod, as used by children for crabbing, I take the bee to the open doors and release it.
Perhaps there’s a timely message in this minor distraction for my thoughts had been on ‘timing’ – and dare I bore readers by referring to that once again? But it is significant, as I’ll explain below.
That bee’s busily been buzzing away aiming for the light, only to be confined by the glazed ceiling – yet now’s the time for release and he’s up and away! So too with this post. A vow had lain dormant – but never forgotten – at the back of my mind since I started blogging in late 2011. I’d intended writing about a new mission venture within the UK that was being launched as I was going public – Culture Changers.
Then after 3 years, it started buzzing after I’d posted the prophetic word of last October Heidi Baker brought for the UK. And it got louder with the word Cindy Jacobs delivered upon changing flights in Britain. That new mission is directly related to the application of both words and it’s time to release that ‘buzzing’ around me into the cyber-sphere.
Culture Changers – click for website’s homepage
Personal Connection
Culture Changers was launched by Hugh and Ginny Cryer after their leadership of the Winchester Vineyard church came to a close. Based in a large converted warehouse at the city’s perimeter and conveniently close to the M3, it was a most welcoming place for outsiders such as ourselves, but a tad too far to travel to attend regularly. We have fond memories of several conferences and Summer Saturday evenings devoted to worship once a month, when Hugh would deliver a ‘nugget’ or jewel of succinct teaching upon a Biblical topic.
Also, I was blessed with attending excellent courses on the End-times hosted by Keith Mackereth.
Being unable to attend a Revival Alliance gathering in London in Autumn of 2011, we were privileged to be at Hugh and Ginny’s briefing with their WinVin team. I was humbled and over-awed to learn that what I’d dreamt about the Kingdom related to a prophetic word brought by Bill Johnson. (Details under ‘2011 Sep’ in this blog’s Library.)
Culture Changers incorporates the values of Kingdom culture espoused by the Revival Alliance (UK website and Facebook page). I’m especially impressed with their practice of honouring all brothers and sisters in the Lord and avoidance of criticism and being judgemental. (Had that been practised by ministers when I was young I wouldn’t have rejected Churchianity.)
Let Hugh and Ginny tell you about themselves before we learn the deep relevance of the prophetic words Heidi and Cindy brought for the UK.
Reconnecting Different Parts of God’s Family
In introducing themselves they also tell of the enfolding vision the Lord is giving them and how:
the Lord called them out of the established church to pioneer His Culture Changing Families.
He told them that the time for a “policing style of leadership” was over.
He supernaturally gave them a physical key of encouragement at a time of great adversity.
the Lord spoke about Culture Changers as being part of something bigger.
our heavenly Father approves of ‘organic’ as well as established churches – longing for all followers of Jesus, Messianic Jews and Gentiles of all churchmanships, to be reconnected in His Family with Jesus as our Head.
In view of my experiences it’s most heartening to hear Ginny’s closing words,
“Hugh and I suddenly began to realise it isn’t so much our connecting, or being part of connecting, Anglicans and Catholics, Revival Alliance and streams, and all that sort of thing, but it’s the established and ‘organic’ church together that He is wanting to bring together, as His family is reconnected – as the Body of Christ is reconnected – in preparation for the Return of the King.”
The Heidi Baker Prophecy
On 21st December 2014 I was astonished with suddenly being reconnected ‘out of the blue’ by receiving Ginny’s most encouraging email (emphases added):
“Thank you for the word I was sent from your Watch from Heidi – via ‘HS’ – it was very exciting to read as I had just heard the Lord say to me“you keep going and I will keep coming” – so we were amazed to read the first para of her word. Also, to read about the unity that she prophesies about as this is all part of our vision for Culture Changers.
“…So very encouraging – thank you.
Ginny Cryer
“I just feel like this revival that God has promised in this nation – it’s another wave of revival He’s promised; I feel like it’s going to come as we go. It’s going to come as we go. It’s going to come as we go, says the Lord. This revival of radical love is going to come as we go…. and as we go, one by one by one by one there’s going to be a lighting up in the hearts of men and women in this city, in this nation.
“There’s going to be a movement of unity in the UK that’s going to shake the world, says the Lord. I hear the prophetic word of the Lord. It’s going to flow through the universities and the colleges of the universities. It’s going to flow through denomination and the non-denominations. There’s going to be a move of unity within the Body of Christ.”
The Cindy Jacobs Prophecy
The word Cindy brought is published in ‘Ezine’, Culture Changers’ web magazine, and prefaced by,
On 13th May Michael Marcel sent us a word from Cindy Jacobs when she came through Heathrow for a few hours and gave this word. It is particularly interesting to us as it confirms the word we had when we were in Israel in February when the Lord said to us that it is time for our voices to be heard. Cindy prophesies (click to read in full)
Here’s the edited part of the second word Cindy brought that would apply:
“This is the season where I am giving you a loud voice, Body of Christ, and if you will speak now I will amplify that voice and it is going to begin to tip the nation…Go and see your MPs, make appointments. This is the season where you are to speak and be that loud voice, and if you will do that”, says the Lord, “I am going to give this window of awakening; that the power of God is going to rush into the UK, not just England; the power of God is visiting the whole of the UK.”
Some have already started to act upon this directive by writing to their MP and/or the Home Secretary. We’re now exhorted and encouraged to do so as well as to support, for example, the work of Prayer for Parliament.
Conclusion
Hence, now is the time to fulfil my personal vow by enabling all my readers and visitors to hear Hugh and Ginny and learn about their God-ordained ministry, Culture Changers.
I’d strongly encourage you to visit their website and learn about introducing the values of the Kingdom to all churches and society, as outlined in New Eraand based upon the revelation ofFather’s Heart.
Thanks for this transcript Gillan and JJ. Imho, it’s significantly important at this time because Justin Welby speaks plainly and humbly about his personal encounter with the reality of the living Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. May He bless all your readers with a similar encounter so all speculation and ignorance be removed by direct knowledge.
The excellent debate on science and faith ensuing from Gillan Scott’s film review is well-worth reading – thank you everyone. More may be found on Dr Ruth Bancewicz’ blog Science and Belief and in works of physicist-theologian Rev Dr John Polkinghorne, as at BioLogos.
Christians over in America as well as here in the UK have born witness to parts of the prophetic word received in Glasgow. So it wasn’t for Scotland only! Another instance of what I call ‘a bridge over The Pond’?
Be further inspired by those responses as below, the first two of which plus mine are at the foot of Advance the Kingdom now, the others are from the USA:
1. M writes, “This witnesses with me; I’m writing a summary today of two similar prophetic messages from speakers I’ve heard recently, with a similar urgency (both have a ‘wake up’ theme)” and he refers to a friend “who had to have the kingdom business he is setting up now functioning by 2016, otherwise it would be too late”.
2. L writes, “It has really witnessed to me…and encouraged me because there does seem a lot of mess and, after having retired from work where my main ministry was for the last 20 years, I can now look forward to the future with the hope that Father has put in my heart with another project which I am hoping I will be part of. Also to let go of those things which have either just come to a natural conclusion or just plain need to go”.
3. T writes from Tucson, Arizona, “Some of this word sounds like the puzzle vision that the Lord gave me. It also reminds me of a vision of a house church meeting in my house where people would come in with their armor on but as they came into my home they would take it off because they felt safe”.
[‘God-incidence’ featured in my first learning about Tony’s vision, and to which I referred in re-blogging his account in When we come together…the Body of Christ, which he revisited in more detail a few months later, as may be read here.]
4. T re-blogs with further remarks in connection with a dream akin to the dry bones of Ezekiel 37. His insights harmonise with what the Glasgow team heard and he adds, “The prophetic word posted by Richard is a continuation of the dream/vision that I had concerning the Lord’s heart for His people to be in relationship with Him and each other”.
5. Meanwhile over in Mobile, Alabama, and doubtlessly knowing nothing of our matter in hand, English evangelist Nathan Morris has returned from mission trips to the Far East and to the Baltic States of Europe. Recounting the huge, amazing events filled with with miracles signs and wonders, he says,
This is the time. God said to me that this would be the year of the Open Door.
Doors are going to close around the world that will shock the world – but at the same time God’s going to open doors in the Kingdom that have not been open for us for many years (RB emphases).
This is the time to preach the Gospel without compromise, to believe God like never before so we can step into destiny…
We’re living in the days that it’s dark but this is the greatest moment for the Church of Jesus Christ. And I want to tell you that people say, “Europe is too dark, it’s over”. I want to tell you it ain’t over – it’s only just begun.
You know, people tell you “People, the nations, don’t want o hear the Gospel”, BUT when you preach the Gospel and thousands are filling the altars you realise the devil is a liar.
And I want to tell you America SHALL be saved and when we declare the mighty acts of God the Holy Spirit backs us up!
6. Just prior to that, in the same service on Sunday, the congregation and pastor John Kilpatrick felt and responded to the presence of Holy Spirit during worship. Very excited, John interrupted welcoming visitors to prophesy as follows,
Just get ready, because I’m telling you God’s about to do some awesome, awesome things.
Listen, that doesn’t preclude the fact that there’s going to be a lot of hell going on in the world.
There’s going to be a roller-coaster coming in the next 90 days, a roller-coaster ride where things are going to be whizzing by you – it’s just going to be going so fast you won’t hardly have chance to assimilate it – things are going to be happening suddenly.
But I tell you what, the Kingdom of God is getting ready to come into full view – it’s getting ready to come into full viewand you just need to get ready for that!
And yes, there are going to be some bad, bad things happening in the world, but I’m telling you God is NOT going to forsake His people – His Church is going to shine brighter than you’ve ever seen the Church shine. I say that the Church will shine brighter than it’s ever shone before! And you just need to get ready for that!
So, in my humble opinion both exhortations enhance this month’s word.
Jaw dropping – that’s what happened when Bob Mazeroski described something similar to what I’d seen in a dream back in September 2011. Bob had got fired up talking about what happened to him in the Brownsville Revival, which saved him and his marriage, and urged everyone gathered yesterday:
“Listen! If a former, drunken horse trainer with no college degree – that didn’t even have a credential or ministry training – but was full of the fires of revival, baptised in the Holy Ghost – if God can use someone like me to put a mantle on, I want to tell you there ain’t one person in this room that God can’t use and He desires that for every one of you – but you need to just reach out and…all you gotta do is put it on!”
Leading into that remark, Bob shared a personal insight applicable to emulating any minister who’s moving powerfully in the Holy Spirit’s unction. He’d said:
A couple of years ago I had a dream and woke up to make notes and preach on it, for it was one of those ‘Now’ words for the Body.
In this dream, this BIG old cargo plane – you know the kind, like those they haul military supplies in – a big old cargo plane up in the sky opened up and out of that thing came all these parachutes dropping out of that thing.
“And connected to every parachute, different looking to all the others but BIG, was a suitcase. They looked like the old suitcases that you used to see people take on trains. That’s what they looked like. They were falling all over and they were hitting the ground and when they hit the ground the lids would POP open…they would burst open.
“I begin to think what is all that about and I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak into my spirit. He said,
“They’re mantles that I’m trying to put on the people in my Body today. They’re mantles I’ve used yesterday, they’re new mantles for today, they’re mantles where the ones carrying them died and moved on; but I still have the same power, I have the same heart and I’m the same God that wants to do the same thing.
“ALL I NEED IS SOMEBODY TO WALK OVER TO THE SUITCASE, PICK IT UP AND PUT IT ON!”
“That’s what He’s saying!
“You say, “Oh I wish I could move in healing…I wish I could move in signs and wonders”, but you know what God is saying…
“THERE IT IS! PICK IT UP. PUT IT ON. LET’S GO! LET’S MOVE!”
“That’s your move of God that’s coming! But it takes faith…” (continues into first quote, “Listen…”)
It was a fitting climax to exceptional teaching on applying lessons from how Elisha became anointed to succeed his spiritual father, the prophet Elijah. Listen to Bob’s inspirational address about stepping into your next move of God, starting here at 1hr27min for the whole, or at 2hr20 for the above excerpt.
What was it about Bob’s dream that made me react? It plugged into the details of a dream about the Kingdom being set up, which directly related in theme, location and timing to what Bill Johnson had prophesied about 1st September 2011 being a pivotal point in Kingdom activity in the UK. Consequently, I emailed friends and contacts about an Acceleration in Kingdom activity, the importance of which pushed me into blogging.
Here’s the opening part of my dream of 3rd Sept 2011, its commonalities with Bob’s dream are underlined:
Am 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 then 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 stay hanging in space!
In a flash I understand what’s happening and, without thinking, declare aloud, “They’re setting up The Kingdom!”
The full account may be read at Father, Your Kingdom Come, which has Bill Johnson’s remarks as footnotes.
Plenty to ponder upon and become motivated to serve our heavenly Father and step into His next move, wherever we are.
Since hearing Johnny Enlow in October 2012 (as in Part 1) I’ve heard of other overseas ministers coming to Britain who notice a change in our spiritual atmosphere. Not only a New Zealander and South Africans but also our pastor upon returning from our groups in Norway and Germany, could each sense that the heavens are more open here than over other nations.
Parts 2 and 3 are observations by visitors from North America to our church in March and April. NB: printed emphases are shown to convey spoken inflexions and emphasis, whereas coloured text is editorial highlighting:
Heather Clark
At her dance workshop in Guildford, Canadian worship leader Heather Clark taught from the scriptures about a woman gate-crashing a meeting of men to anoint Jesus with nard, an expensive aromatic oil. Her paraphrase of His reaction to those indignant men was an exact confirmation of my reaction to criticism from a friend of my looking forward to her workshop. When we arrived for the first session, Heather noticed Nina and later she gave us prophetic words (and accurately for Nina). Continue reading →
This 3-part post will attempt to answer by looking at prophets’ observations made three years ago and prophetic ones from other ministries within the past two months.
Have you ever gone abroad and seen how different upon your arrival the foreign land is from ‘home’? The nature of a different country, its people and environment are obvious points but a there’s also a more subtle sense of atmosphere. I don’t mean air quality, I mean an intangible ‘feeling’.
The term ‘heavens’ means the sky and everything beyond; outer space with its planets, stars and galaxies. There’s also a definition of ‘heavens’ as ‘invisible, spiritual realms’ wherein dwells Almighty God and His heavenly host, where their direct influence and activity manifest. Whenever we gather together and are able to hear from the Lord easily or receive obvious blessings, such as healings, and spontaneously engage in high praise, then the spiritual heavens immediately over a locality are said to be ‘open’. The glory of the Lord becomes obvious in one way or another, as He deems appropriate.
Several years ago I saw a huge, ugly brown tornado bearing down upon a town. I could tell it was an evil power. Then the clouds parted and so too did the sky far above and a supernal, glorious light broke through. As it seemed to smile down on me I noticed all the power had drained out of the advancing tornado. All that was left of it was a blot on the ground, like a tea-stain upon paper!

The ordinary sensing of a nation’s atmosphere can be more enhanced for born-again Christians led by the Holy Spirit, especially if endowed with prophetical gifting. It’s even more so for those operating in the clear discernment of a prophet, as happens for Chuck Pierce.
For example, upon landing at here in January 2012 Chuck remarked, “England is on the verge! Being on the verge is like being at a crossroads”. He went on to explain what’s written on the directional finger posts at those crossroads. Continue reading →
Last week, Graham (church elder) kindly agreed to postpone group study of Ephesians 2 because of an intriguing video our elders had just received from Charles Shamp.
The video’s content spoke very deeply into their sacrificial service of going wherever the Lord sent them to plant churches. They shared how each move was one of ‘burning bridges’, just as Elisha had burned his plough so there’d be no returning to farming and indicated a wholehearted response to Elijah’s call. We then read aloud these associated scriptures:
I Kings 19:19-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)
19 So Elijah left there and found Elisha son of Shaphat, whose plowing was being done with twelve yoke of oxen, and he drove the twelfth. Elijah crossed over to him and cast his mantle upon him.
20 He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, Let me kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow you. And he [testing Elisha] said, Go on back. What have I done to you? [Settle it for yourself.]
21 So Elisha went back from him. Then he took a yoke of oxen, slew them, boiled their flesh with the oxen’s yoke [as fuel], and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, followed Elijah, and served him.
Isaiah 6:1-8 Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, [in a vision] I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the skirts of His train filled the [most holy part of the] temple.
2 Above Him stood the Seraphim [The Burning Ones]; each had six wings: with two [each] covered his [own] face, and with two [each] covered his feet, and with two [each] flew.
3 And one cried to another and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone and ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!
6T Then flew one of the Seraphim [The Burning Ones] to me, having a live coal in his hand which he had taken with tongs from off the altar;
7 And with it he touched my mouth and said, Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity and guilt are taken away, and your sin is completely atoned for and forgiven.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
.
Next, Margaret read out Charlie’s covering note before she ran the video,
“Check out this awesome testimony from my good friend Gary Beaton. Almost a year to the date of his visitation from two burning ones that brought a commissioning from The Lord. God is using him in such a mighty way! Love how God always confirms His word with promotion from above.”
Be mightily blessed as you listen to Gary’s amazing account of what happened whilst worshiping the Lord, and to the subsequent understanding and confirmation that he received.
For reference purposes, Gary’s much shorter account of that event published on Transformation Glory Ministries website, reads as follows:
I live in the country near the Smoky Mountain National Park. This past Saturday morning, I had a quickening to go out back and down to the back of our property where I’ve had a large garden each year for nearly 20 years. This year I felt to leave the ground fallow and not plant a garden. Near the same area there is a large burn-pile where we collect limbs and dry wood throughout the spring. The pile was high and we hadn’t had a burn in a long time. The air was fresh and clear… and the wind was calm. The conditions were perfect and I felt moved to burn the pile.
I took a little bit of gasoline and dribbled it in strategic places on the sticks. I stood back and lit it with a match. Within seconds, it erupted into a large bonfire. It was beautiful and the flames rose high against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. I stepped back to watch and raised my hands in worship to the Lord. It seemed fitting and I also began to sing in the Spirit as I worshipped.
Seemingly out of no-where, the story of the calling of Elisha came to me, where he had been plowing his field with 12 yoke of oxen. Then, Elijah the Prophet arrived while Elisha was plowing and wrapped his own mantle around Elisha and then invited him to go with him. So Elisha burnt his plow and oxen to feed the people and then went on with Elijah.
As I stood there with my arms still raised in worship, I told the Lord in front of this massive bonfire, “Lord, in this moment, I burn my plow and oxen symbolically in this fire to follow you in whatever you would have me do.”
Then, immediately, the scriptural passage out of Isaiah 6 came to me, where the Lord says “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” Isaiah replied… “Here am I, send me.” So I repeated that phrase out loud also, as I have in times past… “Lord, Here am I, send me.” (I know that this is the heart of everyone in our team.)
At the bonfire, it was a powerful moment in time and I felt the presence of the Lord all around me. What I didn’t know is that my wife Kristi was taking a picture of the bonfire from the house nearly 100 yards away because it’s a rare event I would have one… and what ended up appearing in the photo looks like two Angelic beings. While all I was seeing was a massive fire, the camera captured what the Lord wanted us to see…. Heavenly Beings that are with us. It says in Hebrews that they are “Ministers of Fire sent to aid those that are the Heirs of Salvation.”
I’ve had many supernatural events and encounters in my life before, but none like this one. I’m not sure if they are Angels or represent some facet of the Trinity. Either way, it was meant to be a visual message for some distinct dimension in my life. I also believe that this was sent by the Lord and was intended for our entire Apostolic Kingdom Leader Tribe as a sign and wonder. The Lord has come to wrap His Mantle around us and these “Beings” were somehow revealed in the fire to bear witness to the event and to our ultimate call as His A-Team in the Spirit realm….
I would love to hear your input as you meditate on these scriptures (above) and the photograph I’ve attached. You will see things I have not and collectively we will gain His thought, intentions and wisdom. One thing that does come to me relates to what Dr. Joseph has been sharing on rest…. that once Elisha responded to the call, he entered into a rest by burning the plow and oxen, and was able to make the shift into a new dimension/paradigm for his life and call, ultimately into the double portion…
The following account by Brynn Shamp is so appropriate for what, I believe, may be about to befall many who passionately desire to see the Lord’s face.:
BAPTISM OF FIRE
There’s always a moment.
A space in time, seemingly etched out of eternity. In that moment when Heaven meets destiny… a vision is birthed. A purpose revealed. A dream conceived. It is those moments the Greek word Kairos refers to. It’s meaning is, “The appointed time in the purpose of God”, the time when God acts.
We all have these moments, whether we recognize them or not. If you take the time to pause and think back over your life, there are situations that stand out to you. It could have been an ordinary, mundane day; you were going through the motions and then suddenly something stands out. You are remembering a significant moment. A God-moment. I want to share with you a God-moment that I had shortly after I married Charlie (my super amazing preacher-man husband).
It’s Friday night, around 8 pm. I’m 22, and newly married. Instead of heading out to the movies or a dinner date, we headed to a prayer meeting. I had been to several prayer meetings up to this point in my life. Some in the wee early hours of day, when I am sure not even the angels are awake. They were quiet, peaceful and most of us laid prostrate on the floor… seeking our sleep rather than our God. Then there was the ones I went to in college. These were vivacious, as the exuberant prayers of young preachers, teachers and students would rend the barrier between Heaven and Earth creating an atmosphere filled with electric faith.
I had even been to this church’s prayer meetings before, and as we were on our way I expected the kind where each person would take the microphone and pray; declaring and decreeing, prophesying over the specific topic they were assigned. This was not the case for that night. It was to be a God-moment, an encounter that branded me. Like the heated metal of a branding rod, the fiery embossing mark of God would forever be seared into my heart.
As I sat in my chair, lights dim and others spread about the room, I began to seek God.
Previously that night, Charlie and I had a conversation discussing Acts 2 and what we knew of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We both grew up in Pentecostal homes and churches, and both at young ages received the baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues. But where was the evidence of the fire? This is what puzzled us that night, what drove us to a place of desperation in God.
Luke 3:16-17 states, “John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.”
So there I sat, deliberate in my petition before God. My face as flint. I would have the fire.
May I remind you that in a place of desperation, a place of an earnest heart, you don’t care what others think. You only care for what your eyes are fixed upon, and mine were stayed upon what Revelation 1:14-16 describes here;
“His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”
Momentarily I found myself on the floor, somehow pinned there. Lacking the ability to move, to even control my hands and arms. I was frozen stiff at the burning feet of God. It was then, a wave of intense heat came rushing over me and in a panic I helplessly tried to wriggle out of the heavy sweatshirt I was wearing. It felt as if molten lava was pumping through my veins, taking its course through out my body and purging my soul. Like the Prophet Jeremiah who declared,
“His Word is in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire shut up in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!”
I too could not keep it in.
I’m not going to pretend that was the most delightfully pleasant experience ever in God, because it wasn’t. It hurt. Yet it was necessary. It was the very thing I was seeking; an encounter with a living God that would burn so deep his love for me that I would forever be changed. It was the Baptism of Fire.
So tonight, as you read this. You might think this all a bit too strange. Or you may just be daring enough to stop playing patty-cake and have a real experience with the living God. You may need a supernatural encounter with Him, to know he is real. He is alive and he loves you with an everlasting love.
“I prayed from a half hour after sunrise to a half hour before sunset. There was nowhere to pray in the Indian camp. I went into the woods and knelt in the snow. It was up to my chin. I wrestled in prayer until a half hour before sunset, and I could only touch the snow with the tips of my fingers. The heat of my body had melted the snow.” – David Brainerd (American Missionary to Native American- Indians)
“Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.” – Leonard Ravenhill

Further to the previous about what happened during our Passover-Easter conference, you may like to watch Charlie Shamp talking to Mary shortly after he’d prayed for her. The effects of chemotherapy during a long battle against cancer had seriously affected her ability to walk. Watch for the joy on her face as she walks strongly again:
[Video opens with 40 seconds montage of Charlie’s itinerant ministry]
As I’d been Nina’s 24/7 carer, I tried chatting with her husband Tony but he was almost speechless. Here, he met long-time friends, our church elders, of whom Graham had been miraculously healed after being believed killed in a badly mangled car crash.
Afterwards,Tony rightly wanted to check and do everything properly and took Mary for her next scheduled treatment. A scan before therapy showed the large tumour had shrunk significantly, so the doctor didn’t want Mary to continue with more debilitating chemotherapy but prescribed her tablets instead.
To You alone, Heavenly Father, be all the glory in these healings and may you keep Mary and Tony under the shadow of your wings…
Pauls prayer for spiritual wisdom, written to the church in Ephesus :
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. [Ephesians 1:15-21, NKJV per BibleGateway: emphases added]
Mary managed to get out of her wheelchair and to walk unaided the morning she and her husband visited our church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.
AND Mary’s wonderful ‘Easter’ present included the shrinkage of a cancerous tumour by 1cm. This was later confirmed by a scan and so her treatment by chemotherapy was no longer necessary – PRAISE THE LORD.
No wonder she’s happy to find she suddenly has new strength after Charlie Shamp prayed for her. As Nina had been wheelchair-bound and healed, he invited her to pray for Mary too (details here.)
Charlie also sensed someone with a crooked spine was going to receive healing too. This also resulted in a successful outcome, as may be read from the church Facebook entry, as below. A second lady responded to the same call and then found all her back pain disappeared. Here’s the first lady’s report to our pastor:
“Lindi, just to let you and others know that I was healed at the Sunday meeting. After being diagnosed over a year ago after the accident as having a curviture of the spine that had been disrupted, (John having been there when the mobile Dr showed him the curve) John checked me last night and it had completely gone, my spine is straight. I want to thank God for his love and healing also Charlie Shamp for his commitment to God and his ministry of signs and wonders and to you Lindi for your persistance in seeking more of God for us and the wider church. xx”
This was the event I referred to in Heard horses hooves yet? where I was surprised to discern the rhythm of a heavenly host galloping by, and which our worship leader and musicians tuned into and sang ‘Wave upon wave…”
After over an hour’s splendid free worship, our visitor started teaching about the ministry of preaching with confirmatory signs and wonders following on from the Holy Spirit. I was meant to be taking photos but, as I was sitting in the centre near the front, Charlie was wont to slap his hand on my chest a few times. The joy of the Lord came upon me and it distinctly seemed I headed down a big dipper and went riding an unending roller-coaster whilst sat in my chair – up and down, all around, faster and faster – terrific! So an hour or so later I was still riding high when the healings started.
As Charlie taught, our prolonged worshipful desire for Jesus, followed by focusing upon Him and His ways, resulted in His glorious response manifesting in not only healing but also in visible signs of His presence. It’s as though he inhales the fragrance of worship and breathes out something of His glory.
This was noticed afterwards by an abundance of glitter on the padded seats. It’s all too easy to assume it was merely dust catching the early afternoon light. But, in fact, before the meeting started one lady had noticed the chairs were dirty and decided to wipe all of them clean with a damp cloth. So what we saw had been newly laid. Also, a lady in our house group reported, upon returning home and changing, she saw glittery dust on the floor around her.
Thank you Lord and please release a lot more of Your blessings throughout this land…
Hormoz Shariat, the “Billy Graham of Iran,” and I discuss the Gospel — the good news of how Muslims, Jews, and all people can be forgiven and go to heaven — on live satellite TV broadcast into Iran.
(Washington, D.C.) — In 1979, there were fewer than 500 Muslim converts to Christianity in all of Iran. Today, there are over one million Iranian who love Jesus Christ, have become His followers, and are celebrating Easter.
In fact, this Easter millions of former Muslims throughout the Middle East, North Africa and central Asia are celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whereas they once saw Jesus as merely a prophet, now they are convinced that He is God, and they have renounced Islam and chosen to follow Him no matter what it costs them.
In my 2009 non-fiction book, Inside The Revolution, I wrote several chapters about this extraordinary trend of…
“Sometimes I feel jealous”, says researcher Tino Qahoush, “How come Jesus is visiting the Muslim world at this time and age and we don’t hear that happening in the traditional Christian community?”
A report by George Thomas of CBN News, is exciting and encouraging. It reminds me of an unusual dream that blessed me in early 1992. Floating about halfway up from where the above photo was taken, I was astounded at what then took place for I was privileged to hear about a major spiritual change to befall the Muslim world. (Details may be read in Ask for the nations.)
The famous dictum, “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church” was penned by Tertullian to explain why the number of believers in the early Church grew rapidly in times of intense persecution. So, could the unprecedented increase of horrific murders of Christians at the hands of Muslim extremists today be bearing unexpected fruit in their lands?
In view of the following accounts, it’s particularly noteworthy that Tertullian was raised in Carthage, on the northern coast of modern Tunisia. As a theologian, he produced an extensive body of Latin Christian literature during the late 2nd and early 3rd Centuries.
Here’s George’s report and video about what’s happening where Christianity flourished 1,500 years ago, as published on Monday in Charisma News.:
REVIVAL BREAKS OUT IN LAND ONCE HOSTILE TO CHRISTIANITY
A Christian revival is touching the northernmost reaches of Africa. In a region once hostile to the gospel, now tens of thousands of Muslims are following Jesus.
As the sun sets over the Mediterranean Sea, Muslims across Northern Africa are converting to faith in Jesus Christ in record numbers.
“What God is doing in North Africa, all the way from actually Mauritanian to Libya is unprecedented in the history of missions”, said Tino Qahoush, a graduate of Regent University and filmmaker. He has spent years traveling the region to document the transformation.
“I have the privilege of recording testimonies and listening to first-hand stories of men and women, of all ages where they can be sitting in a room and see the appearance and the presence of God appear to them in reality, like a vision, some of them gave me stories of how they carry on a conversation, it’s not just a light that appears” adds Qahoush. He also says sometimes he feels jealous, “How come Jesus is visiting the Muslim world at this time and age and we don’t hear that happening in the traditional Christian community?”
His interviews confirm what experts say is a profound move of God in the predominantly Muslim nations of Mauritania, Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia.
From the shores of Casablanca in Morocco to Tripoli, Libya, experts say the growth of Christianity, especially in the last 20 years, has been unprecedented. And now that growth is also evident in the North African nation of Algeria.
Pastor Salah leads one of the largest churches in Algeria. Some 1,200 believers attend the church, and 99 percent of the population is Muslim.
“In fact we never thought the Algerian church would grow so big” says Salah. He says every new Christian in his church came from a Muslim background. Since the church opened, they have baptized on average 150-160 believers per year.
Zino, a former Muslim, was invited to attend Pastor Salah’s church by a friend. What he saw transformed him, “I saw Algerians worshipping God with all their hearts and it touched me.”
Others, like Farhat who is also a former Muslim, speak of miraculous encounters. He says he was illiterate and couldn’t read the Bible when he accepted the Lord, then God made a change, “Since then I’ve read the Bible and understood the Word of God. This is just an example of what God has done in my life and this is the case of many people here in Algeria.”
“It is the first Muslim Arab government who recognizes officially churches from Islam”, says Youssef Qurahmane, a leading Algerian Pastor. He says the government will harass and intimidate Christians from time to time, but the level of persecution is nothing like it was 20 years ago.
In fact, Qurahmane is seeing God open unprecedented doors, “God has given to us many opportunities to witness at the police stations, at the courts, and in fact one time I went to the police station and they gave me 45 minutes to speak about Jesus! Just imagine yourself, they are all Muslims sitting and telling me, ‘Tell us about Jesus!’ “
But Algeria and the countries of North Africa weren’t always open to the gospel.
A veteran missionary in the region says things were very different some years ago. We’ll call him “Peter” for security reasons. Peter uses the Bible to describe the landscape, “You know there’s that parable, the sower went out to sow and the seeds feel on stony ground, this is North Africa, in those days was quite resistant and stony. The religion and the culture were unsympathetic to anything that was foreign and Christianity was considered to be the religion of the Europeans.”
Peter believes the arrival of satellite TV and the internet have dramatically changed people’s perception of Christianity (emphasis RB).
“Today in North Africa on TV you can hear native Arab Christians talking about their faith, who are mature Christians, answering questions, involved in debates, you can hear different points of view, the Christian point of view in your own living room or in the privacy of your own bedroom.”
Emboldened by God’s power, Algerian Christians are now on a mission to take the gospel to the four corners of the globe.
“God has put in our heart to be able to send 1,000 missionaries by the year 2025. I really believe that maybe one day America will end up with some Muslim convert missionaries coming to reach out to the Muslims there and in other parts as well”, says Pastor Qurahmane.

Amen Jarrod. The visit by young non-Christians to a service for healing at New Life Church, followed by a short discussion in a small group of Christians, Muslims and otherwise-believing youngsters is fascinating. A Muslim’s very telling reaction portrays the basic difference between the two faiths – he’s not as open as a fellow Muslim who heard Nina’s testimony (as here).
