Reprise: 2016 vision of glory firestorm and the Four Faces of God – Veronika West

Recent events prompt me (or is it a Holy Spirit nudge?) to revisit my first posting of now nearly 800, of prophecies brought by Veronika West. It was published 12th April 2016 and I note its relevance to this week’s on ‘Days of Elijah’. As you’ll read herein her ‘four faces of God’ reference is of my personal relevance, which may explain why many subsequent posts and events indicate our harmonisation in the Lord’s purposes:

Many thanks to Veronika West of Ignite Ireland Ministry for posting this exciting and spectacular vision onto her Facebook page on 7th April (title link is later HKP post):

I SAW A FIRESTORM, FOUR WHIRLWINDS AND THE FOUR FACES OF GOD

Verinoka West Fbk

In the early hours, I had a powerful prophetic encounter that I would like to share with you. I ask that you read carefully and prayerfully, there is a SUDDEN SUPERNATURAL SHIFT HAPPENING IN THE REALMS OF THE SPIRIT IN THIS HOUR. GET READY FOR THERE IS AN EMERGING ARMY OF MIGHTY WARRIORS COMING FORTH FROM A FIRESTORM OF GLORY, WATCH!!! FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF GREATER SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES!

In this encounter, I was taken onto a battlefield, the sky was filled with the colours of Deep Red and Orange, and I heard the words, “THE DAWNING OF NEW DAY”, the atmosphere was filled with GREAT EXPECTATION AND ANTICIPATION..I could see the Mighty Warriors of God standing at attention on the battlefield, each one strategically positioned in their respective ranks, I could see these Mighty Warriors were WAITING! I knew by divine revelation that these Warriors were “WAITING FOR HEAVEN TO TOUCH EARTH”, then suddenly a strong and mighty Wind began to blow upon the battlefield, I watched as Four Mighty Whirlwinds began to form in the distance, suddenly I could see the four faces of God within the Four Whirlwinds, I saw the Face of the Eagle within the Whirlwind that came from the North, then I saw the Face of the Ox that came in the Whirlwind from the West, then the Face of Man that came in the Whirlwind from the South, and lastly I could see the Face of the Lion that came in the Whirlwind from the East. Now the Whirlwinds moved in unison causing an immense dust storm to rise up from the ground which filled the atmosphere with an even greater EXPECTATION AND ANTICIPATION among the Warriors of God.

Suddenly a bright flash of lightning lit up the horizon and I could see what looked like the rising Sun, it was a large ball of FIRE which moved swiftly across the skies and towards the battlefield of Warriors, I watched closely as the Mighty Four Whirlwinds moved upon the ball of FIRE, now I could see what looked like the Four Faces of God within the ball of blazing FIRE, the Four whirlwinds seemed to push and propel the fiery ball forward, I watched as the ball of FIRE drew nearer and nearer the battlefield, Suddenly I could feel an intense heat from the ball of fire as it moved upon the battlefield of Warriors, I could hear the shouts of great rejoicing, suddenly my eyes were illuminated by Gods Word and Truth and I instantly received a new measure and a greater level of ‘SEEING’ and ‘UNDERSTANDING’, then like a sharpened arrow I felt the Fire and Power of God deeply penetrate the deepest parts of my heart. There was an instant supernatural ignition and exchange that took place deep within me.

My focus became clearer, and now I watched as the FIRE BALL moved upon the Mighty Warriors of God, I could clearly see the Four Faces within the Four Whirlwinds within of the Fire, I could see the Fire of God in the whirlwind of the Ox touching the Mighty Warrior Evangelists igniting and empowering them with a greater power, strength and Authority for the Endtime Harvest.

Then I watched the Fire of God within the Whirlwind of the Eagle now touching the Mighty Warrior Prophets, each one receiving GREATER INSIGHT, DEEPER REVELATION, ACCURATE AND PRECISE VISION, I watched as the Fire of Glory touched their lips, and like hot coals they glowed brighter and brighter, then I watched as the Fire of God within the Whirlwind of Man touched the Mighty Warrior Shepherds, the Fire deeply penetrated their hearts giving them a new level of Humility, Meekness, Power and Compassion. Then I saw the Fire of God in the Whirlwind of the Lion touching the Mighty Warrior Apostles each one received a new level and a greater measure of Divine Wisdom, Authority, Might, Humility and Revelation.

Then I watched as these FIERY, BURNING AND ANOINTED ONES MOVED TOGETHER IN PERFECT UNITY, there were none greater than the other, shoulder to shoulder, and shield to shield they advanced and moved forward as ONE MIGHTY ARMY. They Moved, Marched and Advanced forward with one purpose, one Vision and one Mission. Their Hearts were set ablaze with the FIRES OF GLORY AND POWER, these are the Mighty Warriors that are NOW EMERGING IN GREATER POWER AND GREATER AUTHORITY UPON THE EARTH.

Four Faces book

Fascinating this should be published on the day my supplier sent a copy of ‘The Four Faces of God’ by John Bickersteth & Timothy Paine to a friend in the States!

Also, two days earlier I’d emailed another about my blog Vision of Lion & Four Faces of God because he’d told me about the Lion at Dr Sharon Stone’s mentoring day on the previous weekend!! As Veronika says on this ‘God-incidence’ – WE GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY!

Lisa Tierney kindly reminded me of this item on Soar Watchman Wall To The Nations:

PROPHETIC WORD GIVEN AUGUST 2023

FATHER SAYS 5784

JESUS IS THE ONLY DOOR – No other door will give you access!

“THE SPIRIT OF UNITY ESSENTIAL – Be quick to forgive and be forgiven,” says GOD!

Father’s Exact Words Transcribed:

“It will be a mixture of blessings and hardships. I have caused My river to run from the south and the north the east and the west.

The spirit of Unity is essential in the coming months and year ahead for without it you shall not be able to restrain what is coming. My new generals are armed and readied and now I will cause them to be heard. I am displeased with the lack of support, ” says Father.

“Reach out to your brother and sisters, lend a hand” says God.

Go the extra mile for they are redeemed and in Me, they shall fulfill my will.

Coping mechanisms have been to lean on things that are not for their higher good. Now I say, come out of this and move forward.

The clock is ticking and My hand is not short concerning any of you.

I have the world parameter in My hand and yet It moans and groans.

Cataclysmic events are about to strike and men’s hearts have already fallen from My grace into sin and debauchery.”

“WAR APPROACHES” (He warned us a year ago)

Father says “FROM THE EAST” SOMETHING COMES>>> the months of September and OCTOBER, NOVEMBER are highlighted.

SEPTEMBER BRINGS DISASTER WITH WAR AND DISEASE WE MUST PRAY NOW!

“The next few years will be great rewards to My children even in the midst of turmoil. They shall be brought forward in might and dominion.

I will cause my fragrance to neutralise and disarm the plots of the wicked one in their midst.

Central Asia and South Africa have fought hard to maintain My presence for this I am pleased although I shall bring forth My weapons of war for them in the coming season.

New York shall see unusual signs by My hand and they shall know that in Me there is no darkness.

The United States shall see revival in small pockets but has yet to come into full surrender and because of this there has been a totalitarian arrangement with the government.

The President of the United States is a UNIQUE man a man of My choosing.

I have brought a predecessor (Mantle of OLD) and this is a sovereign move of My hand. For too long have My people been in 2 opinions.

Now I release My warlord against the tides of opposition.. The election shall not go as planned and I shall bring in a NEW Anchor who is a formidable foe for the hordes of hell.

He shall guard the territories and border of the West with an iron rod. He will bring in new provisions for the hurting and feed the hungry where men have failed in the past.”

I dreamt a few months ago that the blue baby died!

“Italy is under My guidance but has failed to maintain the truth because of this they are overwhelmed by darkness and idolatry.

Western Australia has forfeited My anointing for atheism and this has been the enemy’s plan to cause people to lose inheritance and eternity Pray for this nation My remnant remains.

The Games that world leaders play now will be as though I do not exist, but I am He and I shall show My hand in their midst.

Global warming is not to be trusted and is a weapon of the enemy to distract and detract from the truth. Let go and move forward daughters, Son of the Most High. For in Me, there is no need to fear.

Mountains in the West that have formed alliances by man’s hand will crumble. For there is no going back only forward now,” says God.

“By next spring we shall see countless casualties South Korea and East are in arms.

The moment My clarion call sounds is the moment for prayer.”

In a vision, I saw FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS>> and Father said to prepare for this..

“THE WELLS OF REVIVAL IS ABOUT TO BREAK IN FRANCE AND TURKEY”I heard “New ORLEANS”

“UNITED KINGDOM IS IN REVOLT AGAINST MY SPIRIT,” says God.

“They have formed strong bonds with other nations but have forsaken Me. This is costly and they must repent.

The spirit of divination has infected My church and has caused many to fall by its way but…

Just as the Israelites were led out of Egypt so will I lead you all out. Though I tarry wait for it and I am come. The rain shall fall afresh upon the nations and a new sound shall arise the sound of love and awakening in their midst. The nations shall surrender their hearts back to Me even under duress.

Remain in the secret place for I am your shelter and I am your sword. This is a time to yield your sword and see the great things I have done in your midst

Therefore My Kingdom carries, eternal salvation is for the broken in their midst.

I have called Watchman to reveal the hidden strategies of hell and to take charge of the north.

Pockets of worship and rivers of blessing will break out in Northern France.

Networks of My mercy shall reach out to the corners of the Middle-East.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem How I have loved you.. The watchman on the wall has fallen asleep but I will awaken them with My embers of love in their midst. THE OLIVE TREE SHALL BLOSSOM though strained.

Russia has fought to preserve the sovereignty of its power but, as the West has remained aligned, great trickery is in their midst.

Germany shall remain on the fence while.

Japan and Tokyo are in two minds and fear the outcome of war.

Give them GRACE.

I am reaching into places you have not felt possible in this season for you have been steady and remained yet you feel lowly and weak. I am He,”  says God.

Rev 3:8 – ‘I know your deeds. See, I have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut, for you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not renounced or denied My name.”

“The purpose for My coming is to see to it that you have remained faithful until I come.

Many have floundered the gospel and many sleep But I am calling My remnant BRIDE with the Clarion call. To ARISE and take its place.

The liberty and rest is in my name.

For generations, there has always been people wondering if I exist. I SHALL SHOW THEM,” says God.

“I shall be in their midst!

The young ones who are addicted to pornography and gaming shall be brought into My heavenly presence.

The elderly that lay awake at night shall see My face.

The Lost and hurting shall recognize My voice in the silence of night and I shall re-train those who have forsaken My ways.

For I am The God of thunder and lightning strikes shall be more common.

Disengage with social media I have need of your presence now.

I am bringing forth divine encounters in the night season.”

Psalm 18:13 The LORD thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice.

Psalm 84 For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty!

2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob.

9 Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

12 LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.

I have a teaching that the Lord has given regards this New YEAR. Look out for me today. 2pm UK TIME

A New Unity – Chris G Bennett

This prophetic Word-cum-vision of Chris G Bennett published yesterday harmonises so well with the in-depth article pastor Thomas Harry wrote a few weeks ago, New Church Wineskin for 2023 & Beyond, plus some pointers in the Footnote. Here’s Chris’ posting courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy:

A NEW UNITY

Everyone talks about unity in terms of denominations. It’s been tried and failed abysmally for years, although a remnant of the so-called Ecumenical Movement still lives on even today.

The LORD just showed me a slightly different viewpoint on Unity.

Suppose, just suppose, there came a movement towards a greater unity of doctrinal beliefs — still retaining denominational fences — heaven forbid we should ever do all those power structures out of business!

Sounds crazy, a total contradiction of terms, doesn’t it? After all’s said and done, nearly ALL denominations were founded on doctrinal arguments.

The fact remains that, in the first century, the Church was one Church, with all their issues. It was only when pride, spiritual pride, stepped in that one group stopped talking to another group and denominations were formed.

So what did I see, or hear, The LORD showing me?

The first thing I saw was Cessationism ceased as more and more people started praying in tongues!

Then I saw Replacement Theology torn up as people saw God’s Hand upon Israel.

Next came the Prosperity Gospel, closely followed by one-fold ministry being replaced by five — again as more were baptised by The Holy Spirit!

So-called Hypergrace liberalism was next, once again as The Holy Spirit moved in revelation power amongst them.

As I saw these things, and more, I sat shaking my head, as much in disbelief as in wonderment.

I heard The LORD say, “You can’t imagine it, even less see it happening, can you?”

I replied, “No LORD, I can’t! I mean, this would take such a quantum leap as I could never really imagine it happening?”

“Watch!” was all The LORD said.

What happened next made me gasp in joy, wonder, excitement — you name it.

Every emotion ran through me. I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. It re-ran, like a video-clip on repeat.

I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. this time I focused in a little bit, then closer, then closer again.

I saw entire Churches all over the globe being baptised by The Holy Spirit!

“But LORD, they don’t believe in this!” I yelled at one point!

“They do now! answered The LORD, with a chuckle. Some, of course, still rejected it, fought against it, even ran those who received it off the premises. But many received their baptism with great joy — and much repentance.

Then I watched as newly baptised people came out of their denominational walls and joined together in unity of the Spirit.

Old doctrinal differences swept away by the realisation of The Truth, God’s Truth, there was a great joy among God’s People, as they began to come together as one and in one accord.

As The Word says,

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1

“Can this really happen, LORD?” I asked.

He answered with a scripture,

“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

I was amazed, then reminded of Habakkuk 1:5,

“Look among the nations and watch — be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.”

Chris G. Bennett

  Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.

RB FOOTNOTE:
  • Such non-existent Unity 50 years ago is what drove me to seek the Truth in the wrong place, as told in Jesus Freed Me! – Hence, my being non-denominational.
  • I was astonished to learn it’s in accord with not only the background reading to my posts on Pope Benedict XVI regarding my supposition in 2013 over the Prophecy on the Popes by 12th Century Archbishop of Armagh, Malachy O’Morgair, and the ‘last pope’  Francis’ accession, but also with a prophetic message to Catholics and others about expected changes across the Church from New Year’s Eve and which align with End-times scripture. I read that within hours of mulling over the significance of the Pope’s passing on that day.
  • I read comments that other prophets are bringing similar words…eg Val Thomas on Fbk “Johnny Enlow had an encounter with the Lord, calling it ‘an outrageous prophecy ’where the Lord said “The whole world is about to become an Upper Room” “Everything, Everyone, Everywhere’ – Seems a similar word and confirmation to me.”
  • Our Mens’ Saturday Morning study of Luke’s account of Jesus’ post-Resurrection  appearances included necessary reminders of John’s upper-room account.

Jesus says, “Watch With Me” – Neil Mackereth (GPS #51.7)

The main message of prophetical ‘signals’ #51 received globally earlier this month is of the Lord Jesus keeping His focus on our heavenly Father’s purposes (Footnote refers). Then on Tuesday, 8th September, I learned what Neil Mackereth has been hearing from Him, as revealed in this email:

‘The Lord has been speaking to me about prayer, over the last few days: the difference between watching with Him and watching for Him! (See below)

‘We are blessed to be witnesses to the unfolding of Bible meaning. The Lord has made it clear to me that we should do our utmost to attune our soul, mind and spirit to see what is happening around us with HIS eyes and understanding. (Emphases RB)

‘There is a real danger that those who are not watching with Him will forsake Him and flee, when the going gets tough. The Holy Spirit imparts the power to watch with Jesus and I pray for a renewed infilling for all of us for that purpose.’ Continue reading

Word of Discernment: Defeating the spirit of division and securing the Throne of Unity

On Pentecost Sunday Abel Praise published the following, which resonates with and confirms my reaction to an author saying “Unity doesn’t trump truth. Never has, never will” in response to a comment on his denigrating ‘The UK Blessing’. I reminded both persons of Jesus’ own prayer and the reason behind it, which should be acceptable to all His followers: 

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-23)

 

DEFEATING THE SPIRIT OF DIVISION AND SECURING THE THRONE OF UNITY AT THE TIME-GATE FOR THE OUTPOURING

A few days ago (25th May) Veronika West posted This WORD From The LORD;

This is very striking and timely as we stand at the Time-gate of Pentecost 2020; and the disorder that the enemy is attempting to stir up in the USA.

In 2015; while on a prayer assignment; The LORD began to speak to me concerning a significant throne contending in the nations (which) I was made to understand as the ‘Throne of Division’. In a vision in 2015 I saw a black horse; The LORD told me; this is the beast that contended against the revival that was taking place in Asuza street. I saw attempts to take this beast down and I would see strokes of the sword aimed at it, but its body seemed so tough.

In that vision and in the course of that assignment, I was shown that it was wounded; but as at yet not taken out. Over the years in seeking and walking with The LORD in understanding the Kingdom’s road-map for the defeat of this beast; one key thing I understood was it stood in sharp conflict with the operations of Peace that is the instrument The LORD uses to unite The Kingdom-minded to accomplish predestined tasks for the advancement of The Kingdom.

Its major goal is division through many wicked operations. Over the last few years; I have seen this strike at very significant times. In 2016; when The Body of Christ anticipated a great and significant time of Pentecost, whose date was such that the dates of Pentecost on The Jewish Calendar and The Church Calendar were one; being 12th June 2016; was the very day tragedy struck: and there was the shooting at the Orlando gay club and fifty people died – the name attributed to that work of division is ‘homophobic’. Fifty, an extremely significant number for Pentecost; the enemy orchestrated to take lives; tantamount to enforcing a sacrifice to wield the authority of life to re-entrench its work of darkness.

I can literally speak of chaos that sprang up in many ways; and fiery darts that attacked Kingdom alignments at different levels, even on international levels, that was designed to accomplish Kingdom-ordained assignments.

Four years later, being 2020, and days before what’s believed to be another significant Pentecost season, another tragedy strikes; yet with the count of a life lost for no just cause; unjustifiable in all ways – the very sad loss of George Floyd – the name attributed to that work of division is ‘racism’. There are many more works that this spirit of division attempts to accomplish.

In the Body Of Christ – the name attributed to that work of division is the sect of ‘denominationalism’ [RB: demon-nationalism]. The underlying operations of this is to sow discord through conflicting ideologies at different levels; inflaming tensions through strife. It’s right there setting fire on a white-black ideology; pentecostal-cessationist ideology; its the same spirit talking on both sides of its mouth because for so long it had gained and wielded what should have been the throne of unity that accomplishes the task of establishing righteous relationships and alignments among individuals, families, the Church and nations; and this perverse spirit has stood at this gate that should have birthed unity and worked the wickedness of tearing the fabrics of society apart; to disrupt the buildup of relationships and circumstances that accomplishes The Will Of The LORD.

There’s a lot more than meets the eyes; the white-black ideology; the republican-democrat ideology; and all the mess going on (it) is the same, the two-tongued spirit empowering these to create disorder so that the purposes of The LORD don’t gain the right alignment on earth; so we can build and be built as it is in Heaven.

Are there wrongs on all sides? Obviously. At what point does Truth and perceived perception of innocence and justice find a balance in the scales? It begins at the point where we begin to stand before The LORD and repent for every way we have stood in alignment or agreement with the works of the spirit of division and its two-tongued venom in its terrible mission over our lives, relationships, churches, nations, and all that is part of our societal structure.

Do we demand justice? Absolutely; he who demands justice stands on the scale while he places his demands for justice. The brother you perceive you have a disagreement with may have listened to the second part of the two-tongued spirit of division and is just in the state as being misled as you. Intercede on his behalf.

After this; begin to reestablish The Authority of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS Peace over all that concerns you; your relationships, The Church, Your Cities, Your Nations. For we must first establish the Authority of The LORD JESUS CHRIST as The Prince Of Peace over us; before we can be led by HIS Peace.

Does this answer all questions? Well, one thing is clear, if we can be disentangled from all the agreements, alignment, influence, intentionally or not, from the workings of this spirit of division; and intentionally establish The Authority of The Prince of Peace; The LORD JESUS CHRIST over our affairs; we would begin to experience The Leadership of The LORD in these matters and The LORD would drive us as long as we need to arrive at HIS Peace that passeth all understanding. As for me, in the midst of all the chatter, I denounce the voice of the two-tongued spirit of division.

Psalm 133:1-3: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Acts 2:1: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

PS to Neil’s Habbakuk-type Oracle

In acknowledging Neil Mackereth for An Oracle, I told my long-time friend one of the prophecy ministries listed in the Directory section of The State of the Prophetic in UK politely asked to be removed rather than appear with some of questionable doctrinal background.

Neil replies and adds PS to his ‘oracle’ as follows:

Interesting to hear (that) comment – something else the Lord has been highlighting to me over the last few days is unity (or rather the lack of unity) – one would expect a common “enemy” to unite those facing the threat.  So far, Global Warming has encouraged more bickering and dissent than unity. Now, a more obvious (immediate) and rapidly evolving threat provides an opportunity to put differences aside, humble ourselves and plead God’s forgiveness. What an opportunity for Christians to set the example in humility, unity and heartfelt intercessory prayer for the nations.

The other point that comes out so clearly in Habakkuk is his conviction (through the insights God gives him) that God is in charge no matter how daunting the challenges may seem. This is abundant faith which banishes fear.

I am still a “work in progress” on that front!

…God Bless, Neil

P.S. I probably should have quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14 in full and included verse 13.

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people if My people who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.“ (2 Chronicles 7:14)

RB’s Footnote: It was that utter lack of unity and back-stabbing between churches 50 years ago that made me deepy contemptuous of clergy and churchgoers. In rejecting their claims and doctrines I unwittingly turned towards and got trapped in the devil’s domain! Therefore, it was the fault of so-called ‘Christians’ disobeying the Lord! (As summarised in False ‘Gospel’ Lured Me To The Devil’s Door.)

Unity and Schism

An important and sound reflection in view of recent issues that have upset many of my readers. Am particularly pleased with Nicholas’ central emphasis on ‘accountability’, which is where the many non-traditional, modern churches can be vulnerable – yet 30 years ago ‘heavy shepherding’ gave rise to concerns and reaction to steer away from that style of pastoral oversight.
When I objected to joining a church as a possible new believer the Lord gave me the definitive answer by opening my new bible to Hebrews 13:17 – ‘Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so their work will be a joy and not a burden, for that would be no advantage too you.’ Such a clear directive was foundational to my journey along ‘The Way’!

Nicholas's avatarAll Along the Watchtower

Today I have spent some time reflecting on history and tradition, having watched Gavin Ashenden’s presentation on why he left the Church of England. Earlier in the week, I read a post at Cranmer’s site about the problem of schisms in politics and churches. Christianity has a long history of dividing into factions. In the very pages of Scripture we read:

“For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Corinthians 1:11-13, NKJV)

Verses like these present us with questions. When is it appropriate to put aside one’s differences and go…

Decree & Declaration over Church & Government

We join and stand in agreement with Passion For The Nation’s publication this morning of the following (issued under heading ‘Government’, which I’ve extended as above):

Click/tap image for link to Passion For The Nation and previous declarations

“The remnant lifts up its voice with a joyful shout. From the west they praise the majesty of the Lord Yahweh, and in the east they give glory to the Lord God!” Isaiah 24:14

Lord, we declare in this season a new desire to praise and to worship will come upon Your people, that the sound of the Name of Jesus will arise, transforming atmospheres and touching lives.

We decree and declare in this season, the church will carry and model Your message of reconciliation and unity into our nation with power and sensitivity, that all communities divided through religion, culture, social status and political opinion will be healed in Jesus’ name. We decree, destructive past experiences will be replaced by new positive ones, that respect will replace hatred and love replace fear.

We declare in this nation, a new level of unity and “oneness” is being released, so in the Name of Jesus, we speak over the separation between the indigenous British church and the spiritual sons and daughters from other nations within the UK that the love of God will overcome every personal and cultural divide, that all giftings and callings will be honoured, welcomed and utilised.

We declare Apostolic and 5-fold ministries within the land, the leaders of streams, of spiritual houses and denominations will recognise the significance of the times, standing together and moving together as respect, honour and trust increase between them.

We declare a new spirit of love and co-operation will rest upon all generations to work together and we call forth the spiritual mothers and the spiritual fathers, in the Name of Jesus.

Now Lord, we thank You for all those You have positioned within our Parliamentary System for this time, irrespective of party allegiance. We speak Your strength, Your wisdom and Your mantle of authority upon them, that Your voice will be heard clearly sounding above and beyond every other voice.

We decree and declare over every secret discussion, debate and vote in these days, the boundaries, borders and sovereignty of this nation; judicial, legislative, physical, spiritual, political and economic will be marked out, established and concluded according to God-given Kingdom purpose and timing.

We declare the Cabinet, Government and Opposition parties, will work shoulder to shoulder, as God-given direction rises above party allegiance, political agendas and personal preference. We stand in Your grace and we declare a fresh alignment of the words and thoughts of our leaders with Your will, that Your plans for this nation will be established.

Together as One

Amen to perhaps one of the most profound promises we have in Jesus, if we but obey and thus move into its fullness…

ctntp's avatarCall the Nation to Prayer

A reflection of our own ‘As One‘ event in September last year, published today by Glasgow Prophetic Centre:

Together as One – your Lion Bites word for today

As we go about our day, it seems that we’re inundated with news of division – this side fighting against that side. Very easily, our thoughts are drawn into what’s happening in the nations.

But the Spirit of God says this, ‘Church, do not be drawn into that which divides you. Do not allow the world to draw you into strife. I have called you, my children, those who know me and walk with me, to be one. Be joined together and of one heart in me. Do not let the troubles of this world distract you or draw you in. Focus on me and walk together as one body; for just as I am one with you, walk as…

An insight on Smith-Wigglesworth’s ‘Word and Spirit’ prophecy – intertwining like the confluence of two mighty rivers (GPS #27.1)

At the beginning of last October we saw the double ‘God-incidence’ of having blogged on the Jean Darnall and Smith Wiggleworth’s visions and then learning about a prayer meeting being held by Call The Nation To Prayer that weekend in connection with both. It’s like the Lord used GPS, or Global Prophecy Signalling, to catch our attention and remind us that although decades old, they are still ‘in play’ and waiting to be fulfilled – ie. ‘now’ words.

Now, yet another double ‘God-incidence’ clearly attests to the Lord stressing the great importance of the Smith-Wigglesworth ‘Word & Spirit’ prophecy, as though four pieces of an invisible jigsaw are being put into place!  Last weekend what Steve Hepden and Chris Bennett had heard from Him was published by private email and public blog (UK Prophetic Words) respectively. Steve kindly permits me to publish what he received in the weeks before Christmas:

It is over three weeks ago when I first heard God speak to me.

I was walking up the road from the shops with a loaf of bread and was more concentrating on my walking and crossing the road. What surprised me was the suddenness and spontaneity of the word as I was certainly not thinking of this.

The essence of my prophecy is ‘the Word and the Spirit’ and I thought of something Smith Wigglesworth spoke in 1947. Having always loved and appreciated Pentecostal and Charismatic church history, this came to mind. He said, as part of his prophecy, ‘When the Word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed the world, has ever seen.’

Why now? I believe it’s a reminder to the older generation, a new word to this generation and a call to prepare and position ourselves to enter into it.

Here is what I heard:

“There is a distinctiveness between Word and Spirit, yet they go hand in hand together.
However, in the move of God to come, the distinctiveness will remain but there will such a joining together that the synergy produced will become more powerful than you have ever seen. For the sum of the whole will miraculously be greater than the sum of the two parts. It will be like two mighty rivers coming together in a confluence where something greater, deeper, wider will happen and at the point of joining there will be disturbance. The influence established by this will be far greater than each individual river.

“This joining together will be an intertwining of the one into another and even though joined and thus influencing each other without measure, they will still maintain their distinctiveness. It really is a marriage. The Word and Spirit are different in nature, they are unmistakable, clear-cut and defined. Yet they will serve each other and bring their own distinctiveness together to enhance and release each other further than ever before. The Word will be the source by which the Spirit will move in the drama of signs and wonders and with such a purity of fruit, being the character and the Spirit will express and manifest the Word with power and authority in gifting.

“Some say you are men and women of the Word or others say you are men and women of the Spirit, but this will change dramatically and people will not know what to call you and will even wonder what is happening. There have been forerunners over the years and they are scattered over the Nations, yet it is time for everyone to be challenged and inspired in a way that has not happened before, for the fact of the matter is that everyone can come into this and in an accelerated way. Do not stay where you are, move forward by making a choice to open yourself up to the Spirit of God and to the illuminating Word of God, for the New Year will bring a new day for you.

I have been meditating on this prophecy and It’s amazing how many scriptures you can find where the Spirit and the Word are in union and unity.:
Ps 107:20, ‘He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.’
Luke 1:34-37, Mary said, ‘how will this be?’ ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.’ ‘For nothing is impossible with God.’ ‘Let it be to me according to your word.
Rom 10:17, ‘So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God’
Acts 6:8, ‘and Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.’
John 6:63, ‘The Spirit is the one who gives life! Human strength can do nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are from that life-giving Spirit.’

However, there is an indictment from the lips of Jesus and I want to live as far away from that as possible. Matt 22:29, ‘Jesus replied, you are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.’

A challenge we need to take serious note of.

Day of Prayer for Britain, 26th January at Wembley Arena

‘…who through faith subdued kingdoms, ruled with righteousness and received what God had promised’  (Hebrews 11:33)

After posting Plymouth’s Pray UK announcement I was sent a copy of Evangelist-to-Europe David Hathaway’s letter to prayer partners on the urgent need to convene a day of prayer and fasting at Wembley Arena, London, and from which I quote below.  As in posts by others published herein, he too refers to our need for deliverance from ‘Egypt’!

David returned from 3 days of prayer in Athens where he sought the Lord’s blessing on the Day of Prayer, and upon ‘reflecting on my film the Rape of Europe, I saw a whole new significance in Brexit, from a Biblical perspective! I shall share something of this in Wembley!’

‘Time is short – the situation critical, both for the fulfilment of prophecy and the imminent Return of Christ – and Brexit, which is part of end-time prophecy! As I write this, Theresa May is calling for discussion over her Brexit proposal and a final vote on Tuesday 15th to decide the future for our nation! But because the EU has offered no changes, she cannot win the vote – and will probably delay this vote again until the last minute! This leaves us in a difficult position, for which not one of the main political parties has a solution. I believe with all my heart that God has the real answer – but because the majority of the nation does not have a firm faith in God, this brings an awesome responsibility to those of us who do! I believe in the power of a God who is greater than men, and the ultimate power you and I have to change events through the power of prayer.

‘But look at Hebrews 11, Paul’s teaching on faith and, as I write this, the Holy Spirit is showing me from vv 32-40, Gideon, Barak, Samson, David, Samuel, and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, whose weakness was turned to strength and routed foreign armies. I believe that if we PRAY with FAITH, we can do the same today! You and I will do this together – even routing foreign armies! This is my vision for Wembley – coming back from Athens and Mars Hill – you see why I went there!

‘For too long ungodly government decisions have been decided by a minority. Now is the time for us as Bible-Believing Christians to take action and have a voice in the future of our nation! This is a call for us to unite as Christians – forget our differences and call upon God to determine the future of Great Britain! The politicians have failed us over the last two and a half years – now is the time for God to act!

‘Either we need a Moses to deliver us out of Egypt – or even more dramatically – an Elijah to confound the prophets of Baal and call down Fire from Heaven. But in Elijah’s day, that Fire from Heaven fell on the altar! This is why we desperately need our Day of Prayer and fasting in Wembley – to raise that altar for God to act, literally it needs a miracle, and only God works miracles, to save this nation! 2 Chronicles 7:14 is clear, ‘If My people…’

‘(In) leading this significant Day of Prayer – believing that each one of the previous Days we have held has stepped up to a higher level – September 8th 2018 changed my life forever! But Wembley on January 26th will take us to a level even higher still – until the Glory of God comes down to our nation!

‘…God has begun to move – and I shall pray that new Holy Ghost Fire will fall on this nation so that, as we unite in repentance, a greater move than the Welsh Revival shall change the hearts of this Nation.

‘I have a vision – for you and for this nation. When I received the Holy Spirit in 1946, I obeyed the Scripture where Paul says ‘covet the best gifts’. I didn’t ask for miracles or even healings, I asked for the gift of Holy Spirit Faith, because this has governed my whole life since. I want to live Hebrews 11:32-40 now!

‘In addition to Praying for Britain we have a comprehensive programme of evangelism for 2019: Ukraine – Russia – Armenia – Lithuania – Israel. I am, first and last, an evangelist!’

‘As One’ happening in the UK’s newest City

This welcome news is yet another fulfillment of the prophetic word on unity brought by Heidi Baker four years ago this month. (Btw: this blog’s all-time most popular post.) Also note on the ‘ripples’ vision: David Gilbey writes the effect “first came to me personally in January 2015, shortly after The Lord told me to start a prayer movement in my home City of Chelmsford”, as reported here.

GPS#11 part 1: influx of calls to intercede for Britain!

Last month’s republished prophetic word on castles and the call to pray for establishing God’s rule in our nation was January’s most popular post.  So far this month a number of calls have come to my attention on the importance of intercession for Britain – not so much as a shower of ‘jigsaw pieces’, but more like God’s Global Prophecy Signalling system in operation.  On the last day of that month the first ‘buzz’ came from one of my readers and I sought and received permission to publish. ‘AD’ writes:

aurora-uk_2192580k_Image credit Telegraph

‘As a quick introduction my husband and I returned in Aug 2016 from 43 years in South Africa because the Lord led us to. It’s an incredible story in itself, but the reason why He has brought us back is to declare Life over UK, to build up and to plant. This morning after listening to the amazing speech given by President Trump I said, “That’s wonderful and I rejoice in his courage but Lord what about UK?  What’s to be done to begin to heal this wayward and fractured country?”

‘Instantly I heard the Holy Spirit say, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,  then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place”. 2Chron 7v 14, 15.

‘It’s so familiar that I could have just thought it up myself as an answer.  However every word was forcefully impacted on me as only the Holy Spirit does.  The point is, the Church is responsible for both the problems and the solution here.   It’s not for a denomination; it’s for His people, called by His name, to hear.  Christians to humble themselves and pray.  Find out by seeking His face what He is wanting to do. Unite and come together to pray as the Church in UK and so halt divisions caused by pride and prejudice. When we pray and seek His face together He will command the blessing.

‘Give up and turn our backs on all the wicked ways that have become the norm for Christians and repent of our sin personally and collectively THEN He will enter in and do what is needed.   It’s vital that the call to all believers can go out with the clarity of the Trumpet or Shofar call.  The Church is the answer to all the questions today.  It’s why Jesus warned us we would need to take up our cross just as He did and follow.  It leads to death but results in Life.’

‘I thought of contacting you as I read your posts.  Perhaps others are confirming this word and maybe it can go out using Christian media or however it can.  Like a fire it will run through the church first, and then spread to burn the dross out of the country allowing his grace and favour to reach the lost again.  I’m intimidated at the task as I sense it’s a crucible time for UK but I had to share.  May His people unite to fear His name and establish righteousness in this nation again.  He has called His Church to be the head and not the tail.   It’s time.’

AMEN, indeed it’s time LordLater, in her reply the next day, ‘AD’ adds:

‘I was struck again how faithful God is in answering prayer.  This scripture was a response from God to the many specific prayers made by Moses in 2 Chronicles6 vv 18 – 42.  Even when I visited Israel many years ago and prayed at the Wailing Wall, and put my request for an impossible restoration in a chink in the stones… the Lord magnificently did the impossible…and now I just realised He was answering Solomon’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 6 v 32. Humbling but amazing!  Faithful God.

‘Even when we as a country deny him he remains faithful because He cannot deny Himself.  I think of the many times He has poured out revival, salvation, healing, and hope on this nation.  Apart from the disciples I don’t know of a nation anywhere that sent out missionaries with the word that gives Life like this one.

‘I’m believing the fire will fall again as in chapter 7 v 1.  Let it be.  We are all called to be salt to preserve and light to show the way and it’s urgently required now, but we as believers have got to respond if our sins are to be forgiven and the land healed.’

Finally, just now ‘AD’ replies to my advice of publication and reminds me of a picture I’d thought of in the night as being appropriate in this mini-series but forgotten! (So what I had gives way to what is now displayed, AND relates to the Jean Darnall vision – see Library under 1967 for links.) ‘AD’ says:

‘It’s very encouraging how much The Lord is doing in the UK. I had a vision of a dark map of UK with small pinpricks of light. .then as the numbers grew they all started to join up creating large areas of light all over. I’m looking forward to that!’

Aren’t we all!  AMEN – let it be so Lord.

The very best days of the Church are fast approaching

An especial thank you to the Lord and Jeffrey Stewart, and to UK Prophetic Words for publishing this word, which provides not only a second confirmation but also a very precise one of a scripture I’d already quoted (footnote refers; formatting mine):

GOD HAS SAVED THE BEST DAYS OF THE CHURCH FOR LAST

The Lord Jesus says:

“You are a privileged generation. You are a generation that makes Me immensely proud.

“For it is THIS generation that will walk in FAR more revelation than any previous generation.

“It is THIS generation that will walk in FAR more anointing than any previous generation.

“The END of a thing is better than the beginning. (Eccl 7:8)

“The Days of the Church that you are about to see will far exceed its beginning days recorded in the Book of Acts.

“You look in awe at the things I did in the Book of Acts. You look in awe at the power the Church in the Book of Acts walked in.

“I tell you that what My Church is about to walk in shall cause the Church in Acts to be pale in comparison.

“The Church you are about to see will walk in far more love, far more unity, and far more anointing than the early church ever imagined.

“My prayer for the church to be ONE, even as I and the Father are one, in John 17 will be answered in your generation, just as every prayer I pray is answered. Yes, many of you will see this and rejoice. As will I. What is impossible for man is easily possible for My Father. My People WILL BE ONE just as My Father and I are one. Just as it is in Heaven.

“From this unity will flow unified prayer as you have never seen. Just as I honoured such prayer with a mighty outpouring of My Spirit in Acts 2:2 and Acts 4:31, I shall honour these unified prayers with a great outpouring that will shake cities as I shook Jerusalem.

“The Great Commission will be fulfilled in this generation. You will see this and rejoice.

“My people will walk in such anointing, that:

“one will enter a town and every demon will flee. Even demons in people who are possessed will not be able to remain;

“another will walk in such anointing that he will enter a hospital, AND EVERY sick person in that hospital shall be healed.

“When I turned water into wine, the master of the banquet said that he normally served the best wine first, but at that wedding, he saved the best wine for last.

“I tell you, I have saved the BEST DAYS OF THE CHURCH FOR LAST.

“I have saved the GREATEST MIRACLES for last, too.

“The miracles you saw in the days of Moses, as great as they were, even the splitting of the Red Sea, shall pale in comparison to what you are ABOUT to see.

“The miracles you saw in the Days of Joshua, as great as they were, even the stopping of the Sun and the Moon in the sky, shall look SMALL in comparison to what I am ABOUT to do.

“Before I return, every person on earth WILL KNOW that the Gospel is true. They may not all accept it, but they will be WITHOUT excuse.

“I am IMMENSELY proud of you. You are a HIGHLY HONORED generation.

“Men from the past longed to see what you will see.

“You are the final runners in the relay race.

“You are My ‘A’ Team.

“Those who came before you are trusting you with the baton.

“I am confident you will complete the race before you. You will make Me proud.

“You were created for this day and this time. You will see the Church be what I meant for her to be.

“You will see this and rejoice. As will I.”

Jeffrey Stewart, 17th January 2018

AMEN, AMEN and AMEN again !!!!

Footnote:

The reference to John 17 is remarkable!  My introductions to the last two posts refer to RJ Dawson on Jesus destroying division and to my encounter with ‘Christian’ aides of the Accuser. Instances of condemnatory criticism return my mind to Jesus’ prayer to our heavenly Father, as recorded in John 17.

In fact, only yesterday – the day Jeffrey posted the above word – was I discussing that issue with RJ Dawson on his original post as he’d responded to my re-blog. He then quoted from his book:

“A long time ago in an upper room far, far away, 120 people got real. Within a matter of days, their number had increased to several thousand. After only a few years, the community had spread far and wide, achieving phenomenal growth well into the tens of thousands of members, each person having a purpose and each very real. Over the next few centuries, however, another assemblage emerged. Its characteristics were strikingly different. It did not possess the powerful testimony of the earlier group. Miraculous happenings were very few and far between. Its varied teachings were impure and often incomprehensible, and the active participation of every member in ministry was not emphasized. As a result, the great love and concern for one’s fellow believer held in high regard by the originals was greatly lacking, and its unity was coerced. And sadly, gone in this assembly was the total dependence and trust in the Lord Jesus, His dominion being replaced by that of others.” © 2001 by R.J. Dawson. Real Christianity—The Nature of the Church. All rights reserved.

I replied: ‘Exactly so RJ. I’m of opinion that as soon as the gospel according to John went into circulation then satan’s strategy would be to thwart Jesus’ prayer at John 17:20-23!’  I didn’t quote it because we both know it, but he then quoted it in full:

“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.”

Its so obvious that, after being defeated by the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, the hater of humanity’s prime strategy would be to attack and wreak division throughout the body of His disciples. Through such disunity, deep divisions and inability to do the ‘greater things’ that Jesus promised in John 14:12, the enemy of our souls duped humanity into not believing that God really did send Jesus to save us from our sins and deliver us from bondage to satan.

So, thank you Lord for indicating that at long last Your prayer will soon be answered. Let Your Word become true in our day…

Selah!

Vision of a New Apostolic Reformation

With thanks to Yinka of The Gate, Reading and to UK Prophetic Words. The location of this vision is especially interesting in view of Lynne F’s 2001 vision of the Body of Christ in Britain arising like a sleeping giant, of which two intercessors reported similar impressions last year (comments to Prophetic Significance of PM Mays’ Speech in Philadelphia).:

YINKA OYEKAN: PROPHETIC VISION OF NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION

As I left Cornwall on Friday afternoon (10th Feb 17), I had a vision of a New Apostolic Reformation emerging across this United Kingdom. I saw Apostolic leaders walking arm in arm with and serving denominational leaders in humility.

In this emerging season the bride will be empowered as her leaders serve her and wash her feet. For her leaders now understand these revisited Ephesians 4 graces were never to create a platform for an individual, nor were they sent in previous generations to fracture the body or boost the ego of man but rather they have been given to mobilise a powerful bride where every saint ìs equipped and looks more like Christ.

One equipped saint will feed 1000 hungry souls, ten will feed a city. Father’s purpose and focus in a new apostolic reformation is not only to revitalise the priesthood of all believers where the extraordinary will become ordinary, but to ensure her pastors and leaders are supported and discover a new confidence. Empowered pastors will empower their flock.

I saw intercessors hovering over this move like Angels, their prayers ascending to Heaven providing an echo of his glory over the nation, a prayer covering of incense thick as a cloud. This cloud has been a faithful witness rising before the throne room. The prayers of the saints have covered these shores, and hidden Fathers purposes from the enemy; now Father having received her prayers is doing a new thing.

These intercessors will not be seen as an optional extra in church life but will be seen as central to Father’s purposes, they will walk arm in arm with this new apostolic reformation.

Father will bring extraordinary Ephesians 4 Ministries together into a new apostolic liberty, and this time they will flow as one, understanding and embracing each other, no longer fractured and isolated pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelists, but rather flowing as peers in one river.

Father is particularly determined to build up Church pastors who have felt isolated and will provide in this reformation a safe haven where they will be loved and supported, served and equipped within their denominations, and they find access to committed peer relationships outside and within.

Denominational leaders will embrace and support this new apostolic reformation as honour will flow in both directions. This reformation will have a new name, previously hidden by Father which he will reveal. All this is part of the latter rain.

Father has been shielding this new apostolic reformation from the eyes of the enemy but he will soon bring it to light. I see a new generation of leaders who serve and use their strength to build HIS kingdom and not theirs. There will be signs and wonders within the church and without, as this new wineskin emerges. It will form the basis of a new unity movement.

Note: for  more on Cornwall see Yinka’s Facebook entry 14th February.

Heidi Baker: God’s awakening Europe – and the Anglicans!

Thank you to Suzanne Payne of UK Prophetic Words and especially to Dave Hood for this link to an important prophetic word from Heidi Baker of Iris Global ministries.

Heidi foretells the Lord’s appearing in dreams to Muslims, Sikhs and Buddhists across the UK, which will be talked about within their communities – God’s going to start showing up as ‘The Man in White’.

They will, therefore, seek an understanding and, says Heidi,

“The Lord is going to allow the Church to explain in the most glorious way who He is, not just in words but with actions and in Truth.

“I feel like there’s going to be an Awakening again…”

She goes on the speak prophetically about the Church being filled with the Love of Christ and taking it outside church buildings, moving into communities and neighbourhoods  and ‘taking and sharing tea’ with those who’ve come from other nations, whom the Lord has brought into Britain, especially a radical move among Sikhs, “the Sikhs are going to seek!” and the Church needs to position itself for this, to get ready and not wait but go out – as in the word on A New Move of God and Unity she brought two years ago. But now she says,

“I see a radical move, a radical move in the Anglican Church. The Lord says the Anglican Church is going to be woken up afresh – there’s going to be a fresh fire – a fresh wind – a fresh baptism – a fresh move. I see the Anglican Church awakening, awakening, awakening, awakening, awakening.

“I see thousands and thousands and thousands of people who were baptised as babies being claimed by the Father and they’re literally coming home to the Father’s House.

“I see these old cold buildings, old cold buildings, ablaze with the fires of love, ablaze with fires of love and God – WOHHH there’s going to be an awakening in the Anglican Church, there’s going to be so much fire and so much Presence and there’s going to be no place for barriers, no place for division, no place for “Who are you and where were you ordained?” – they’re going to be calling you from (various) churches saying “Help, help, help us, help us!”

She continues by saying the Lord tells us not to call seminaries ‘cemeteries’ any more because He says,

“Call them up to be raised from the dead for I’m about to visit the cemeteries and the seminaries”, says the Lord…

“I’m going to visit, I’m going to visit and I’m going to cause even cold hearts to burn with fire…get ready, get ready, I’m going to send you out to the left, send you out to the right…”

This also reminds me of the word received at Ffald-y-Brenin in 2014 that the Lord is calling and resurrecting the Anglican Church out of its grave, as with Lazarus. (See this post, and this one for my subsequent observations on that promise.)

Also, on 30th October Dave Hood emailed these comments:

‘I don’t know if you have seen the Heidi Baker video but about 9 days ago, before I saw this video I had been praying and Psalm 133 came to mind and all of a sudden I get a picture of The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby – he is wearing white ceremonial full length robes, with some light coloured trim sewn on the edges as well as his mitre.

‘And he has a look of utter ecstasy on his face and he is absolutely drunk in the Spirit, just about standing, but his robes from the top of his mitre to the full length of his robes are completely covered with the Holy oil of the Spirit. So unctuous and thick is this oil it is like honey, viscous and full and it’s just dripping every where the hem of his robes is just leaving this wonderful wake, not a wake of death but a wake, wave of life, as he
gathers himself moving forward. I just sensed there was an anointing coming from the head of the church, the Lord Jesus, to, the head of the Anglican church in this nation. It was more than personal to Justin, it was personal to the Anglican church and this nation … and maybe this nation’s body as a whole …

‘but Psalm 133 was key, it was the unity.

‘So when I hear Heidi in this video clip prophesying re the Anglican church, I’m made up, but…as I continue to listen …God recalls to me what we have been studying in Acts about 3 weeks earlier.:

‘We had been sharing in Acts chapter 10 where we were looking at Cornelius and the opening of the door to the Gentile nations. We sensed and heard … that the call from Noah and his 3 sons at Ararat, was our call … in that Noah under covenant, as we, was
to go forth and multiply fill the earth after the flood and how our call is to go to the nations unto every ethnic group.

‘You are aware of my feeling regarding this nation having (to be) been turned upside down and resurrected, like the iron axe head RE- floating, its iron head being a raised Titanic, like Mark’s second opportunity, and how this resurrected and upturned, and over, iceberg of an island UK was to take our Lord Jesus, its King, to the harvest, the fields of Europe’s spiritual tundra … to subdue Europe’s king Baal and plunder his household, his servants, for believers and servants to Christ but as I watched the video clip … I heard the Lord say, from something, that 3 weeks earlier,

“Yes Europe will be saved, and I will send her Britannia made great, to aide me in my work, but I will also let you see, that those nations you would venture to … I will show you I have brought them to your door,”

‘…and immediately I understood the many various, not just nationalities that had flooded our shores, but the very many ethnic groups within those groups would also be present

‘so you can image the joy that God was preparing for these travellers, the alien, the widows, the orphans and the prodigals to his table, here in this our nation and land …

‘Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. To the praise and glory of God for ever and ever. Amen’

Many thanks, Dave Hood

Footnote: All this is particularly interesting because whilst discussing the purpose of a proposed new church in our diocese, the recently ordained deacon and Director of an Anglican healing foundation mentioned the bishop told him that ++Justin tells bishops to preach Jesus – which is what one would expect!
