Prophecy to the UK May to July 2005 ![]() Great Britain Land Of End Time Destiny Wendy Alec Jul 25, 2005 Oh Great Britain, Great Britain, isle of walls and of fortresses, I tell you that even as the glory of the Lord has departed from the Lion [Great Britain], so the glory of the Lion of Judah shall return; and My glory shall rest upon the Lion, and the Lion, once again, shall open its mouth and its roar shall be heard again among the nations of this earth. For, even as in times past the Lion whelped many, many cubs and sent its missionaries even to the uttermost parts of the earth, so I tell you that the glory of these latter days shall be greater than that of the former. And even though in centuries past I sent missionaries out from this nation -- even to Africa, to India, to China and beyond -- so I tell you, beloved, that in the decades to come, a great mobilizing of My called out ones shall occur -- of men and women and boys and girls from these shores. Those who even slumber at this time shall start to arise, says the Lord. I AM ABOUT TO BLOW THE TRUMPET For even as many of My children, even as much of My Church in Great Britain, slumbers even this day, so I declare that I am about to blow the trumpet, says the Lord. Yes, I, the Lord God of Hosts, am about to blow the trumpet in Zion, and it shall resound with a mighty roar from the heavens; and My glory shall start to fall and My Church and My called out ones shall rouse themselves from their stupor and from their slumber, says the Lord. For even now I have heard the prayers of my people. Even now, although it be but a remnant, I have heard the prayers of the watchmen on the walls of Great Britain -- the watchmen who neither slumber nor sleep. And even as they have cried out to Me in the midnight hour for Britain to heed My voice and to seek My face, so I tell you, My children, that the day of the Lord is appearing. And they shall rise from the East and from the West of this isle; they shall rise from the Southernmost tip to the North. And Scotland -- yes, Scotland, says the Lord -- yes, My burning fire shall be ignited in the furthermost parts of the North. My glory shall light a flame, says the Lord, that shall sweep across divides and denominations. And the Pentecostals and the Evangelicals and the Anglicans, the Methodists, the Catholics, and all who revere My Name and the sacrifice of My Son shall unite with one heart and as one body -- and that flame shall be seen across this land; and the cities and the villages of this nation shall start to burn with the fervency and the hunger of the living God. For even as My Church has been bound by the shackles of compromise and passivity, I tell you that in this coming day and in this coming hour, My firebrands shall start to rise. LIKE WILBERFORCE, MY APOSTOLIC VOICES SHALL RISE IN THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT And, like Wilberforce, My apostolic voices shall rise in the Houses of Parliament; they shall arise in London, they shall arise in Edinburgh, they shall arise in the North of England. And even as the unions had a voice in past years that was strident and rose above the crowds and became the voice of the masses, so in like manner shall My Church's voice start to be heard in a manner far above and beyond this present day. And so I shall raise My apostles and they shall stand at the city gates and the gates of trading, and they shall stand in the government, and they shall stand in the media and in the banking institutions and in businesses, and they shall stand in the clergy of this nation. And I shall raise up my prophets -- and they shall rise -- and their faces will be as flint. And even as John Knox's voice rang out above Scotland, I tell you that My prophets' voices shall start to rise in this nation. And I call my intercessors, I call my intercessors: Pray, Pray! Do not desist from your prayers, for even that which you have perceived in your spirits and that which you have yearned for -- it is almost upon you. A MIGHTY FLOOD OF EVANGELISTS For surely the day of the missionaries dawns once more upon these shores. For surely the day of the gospel going forth to the uttermost parts of the earth dawns once more upon these shores. And as My fire starts to fall across Great Britain, I tell you that the men and women, boys and girls shall feel the call to leave these isles and to travel to the continents of the earth to preach My gospel. And a mighty flood of evangelists -- a mighty throng of missionaries -- shall leave this nation, and I shall thrust them into the four corners of the earth. And they shall go to Japan, and they shall go to Beijing, and they shall go to Africa -- East and West; and they shall go to Europe and to the Middle East, and I shall spread them as a net over the continent of Asia. And I shall open doors to My gospel that have previously been shut -- even the doors of iron and of brass shall be opened unto the missionaries from the British Isles: Vietnam, North Korea, and beyond. And there shall be a great flood and a torrent of My gospel that shall once more go forth from this land. And I shall send Bibles from this land. And I shall send resources, resources, resources from Great Britain, that will feed, that will clothe, that will build, that will teach, and that will establish My gospel in the four corners of the earth. For this is the destiny of this land in latter days, says the Lord, to resource, to nurture, to establish, to preach My gospel. And even as in past days this Empire was established, so I tell you that in this coming day and this coming hour it shall be the Empire of the Great King of Heaven that shall be established. THE RISE OF ONE IN GREAT BRITAIN WITH A ROD OF IRON AND MY GOVERNMENT UPON HIS SHOULDERS And there has yet to rise from these shores one who has a rod of iron. In the decades to come, you shall yet see one rise who has My government upon his shoulders. He shall rise in the government and he shall rise in this nation, and he shall rule with a rod of iron, says the Lord. He will come at such a time when Great Britain is faltering -- and I shall do this because of the prayers of My people. For there shall be a great swarm that shall rise against these isles in the decades to come. A great swarm as an army will arise across the waters around this nation, but this man with the rod of iron shall stand firm. And the nation shall take courage, and the lionheart of Britain shall arise as one, and the great swarm shall turn back and, even in an instant, be stopped in their tracks, says the Lord THE GREAT JOINING OF THE LION AND THE EAGLE And there will be a great joining of the Lion and the Eagle. And even as the voices in the streets and the byways -- the murmuring, the complaining, of any alliance between the United States and Britain -- so I tell you that these voices neither discern the times nor the purposes of the Living God. For even as the Eagle came to the Lion's aid in times gone by, so I tell you that in this coming season, once again, this alliance between the Lion and the Eagle shall be forged. And the forge shall not be broken, says the Lord, because it is destined by Heaven. And a great wave of prayer shall rise up from the East Coast of America through the heartland to the West -- and that wave of prayer and intercession shall wash across Britain as a fiercely burning flame, and shall cleanse and protect. But in the years ahead, so the prayers of the saints in Britain shall rise and, like a wave, they shall spread across America -- to preserve and protect -- and a great joining shall occur; and this joining shall not be the joining of man, says the Lord, but the joining of Almighty God. And this nation shall return to its Christian roots. It shall RETURN to its Christian roots! And the glory of the Lion of Judah shall once more return and rest upon the Lion. IF My people repent of the sins of this nation and humble themselves and pray. by Wendy Alec Author of Journal of the Unknown Prophet Journal of the Unknown Prophet www.unknownprophet.com Vision of Great Britain Wendy Alec Sent via the www.elijahlist.com 16 July 2005 I saw several pockets of small fires across Europe . . . the fires of wicked men and organizations. And the Lord said "Holland." Holland was very strong. Then France, and then Spain and Italy. Then the Lord said, "And to the North." It was very clear, and the Holy Spirit's voice was insistent and very strong, "The NORTH, the North, the North . . . " and I had no clear understanding at all what the Lord meant. And then I sensed a circle and heard the Holy Spirit say, "North London, Northern England, Northern Europe," and then I heard "North Africa." This was the circle, and the circle seemed to me to be linked in some way. "This is the Snare of Heaven" These fires, God said, were kindling fires. They were very small -- hardly noticeable on the map – but they burned furiously, and had fiercely burning blue flames. And then I saw that some kind of NET was being loosed from the heavenlies down to earth. And I heard the Lord say, "THIS IS THE SNARE OF HEAVEN." And I saw a great angelic host . . . the warring host of Heaven being dispatched across Great Britain and Europe and other Northern-most and Middle-Eastern parts of the earth, with swords that glistened like flaming fires. And the Lord said, "As in the ancient of times, so as My people humble themselves and pray, a great and mighty roar of battle shall be unleashed from the heavenlies, and My mighty warring angels shall go forth, for I shall send them from the North and from the South." God was saying these were the fires of wicked men and organizations across Great Britain and Europe and beyond. Then I saw prayer start to rise . . . first from small pockets of intercessors across the British Isles. These were not just prayer movements and organizations, but they were the heartfelt prayers of the saints from towns and villages all across Great Britain. These were the praying mothers and grandmothers and grandfathers; these were the prayers of the intercessors across great Britain. And, yes, they were mostly women in their homes and in tiny prayer and home groups, fallen on their knees and on their faces, and I could see that they had the full attention of the Lord. And then I saw the men – and the men were the ministers of God – and the pastors and the ministers from all across Britain rose and joined their prayers in the Spirit with the prayers of the handmaidens. And the prophets started to prophesy and join with the apostles and the intercessors. And then they were joined by the praying saints from across pockets in Europe and then from the North, East, South and West. And I saw a great hand arise from the North and the South and the East and the West. And the Lord said, "Because of the heartfelt prayers of My saints, I shall send my Angelic Host and the sound of their battle cry shall resound through the four corners of the earth as they prepare to meet the Princes of Darkness. For I tell you, My children, a great and terrible darkness has been unleashed upon the earth in these days, BUT I am raising up an army. I am raising up a mighty army of My people who will gird themselves up for battle. And as the sound of their voices rises up to me, and as the sound of their prayers of their supplications comes before my throne, so in turn, My mighty warring angels be unleashed to do battle in the heavenlies. "This is the Hour to Arise" "And through the prayers of my saints in Great Britain – through the prayers of My saints in Great Britain – through the prayers of the saints and My followers in Great Britain – the stupor and the slumber and the secular humanistic spirits that have bound My people in this nation shall start to uproot. For my Church has had an outward semblance of power – yet its sound has been a whisper. Even as My children have raised their voice in the streets of Great Britain, so the spirits of secularism and humanism have bound the mouths of My saints. But I tell you, my children, there dawns another day," says the Lord. "There dawns a different hour. And I call you, Oh Church, I call you My saints. This is the day and this is the hour to arise," says the Lord. "This is the hour to stir yourselves even as the mighty men of old. Lift your voices and your hearts up to my throne, for this is the day and the hour of supplication." Then as the saints rose and started to pray – not with lip service but fervent heartfelt prayer from the heart – I saw another fire, with fierce white and orange living flames start to burn, the prayers of the Church in Britain. And although it, too, started in pockets, this was the most incredible fire in the way that it spread across the nation. It was so fierce that as it took on power, it seemed that nothing could stop its path. But the people who created the fire were fallen on their knees. And God said, "Penitent hearts," and I knew, somehow, that these praying saints were repenting on behalf of Britain for the sins of the nation and for the sins of omission of the church in Great Britain. And these prayers gave the angels much strength. And the snare of the Lord fell like a net across the dark hidden places of the earth. And I saw the terrifying whirlwind of the Lord, like a fierce black whirlwind, literally chase some of the evil blue pockets down . . . the winnowing whirlwind of the Lord of Hosts. The Lord said, "Bring Back My Glory" Then the Lord showed me a large lion, and He said, "This lion represents the nation of Great Britain." And it was a shocking sight, for where the lion should have been filled out and sleek and gleaming, was almost a skeleton. And its mane was barely visible, and its coat was covered in mange, and its roar which should have shaken the nations in its power and in its ferocity was strangled and barely audible. And the Lord said, "This represents both the glory of this nation at present and the state of My church as a whole in Great Britain." And I saw in great letters the words: "THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED FROM THE LION, BUT THE GLORY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL RETURN AND THE LION SHALL ROAR AGAIN." And the Lord said, "Bring back My glory. Bring back My glory that your nation may once more walk in the glory of its destiny, and the Church may show forth My glory." And the Lord showed me a huge, flourishing green tree that was planted in the European mainland. Its huge trunk seemed to be planted in Brussels, and the foliage had grown so dense that the tree's branches and foliage had grown over the English channel and covered Britain in a great dark shadow. And thousands of smaller offshoots and branches had taken deep root in Great Britain. And I saw the roots tangled and grown into London, and then through the British Isles up all the way to Scotland. The Lord said, "These are the deep roots of secularism and humanism that have taken deep root in this nation. These are the roots that are eroding this nation's faith!" And I saw thousands upon thousands of people bowing in obedience to this tree, and the roots were tightly twisted around their ankles, but they seemed totally unaware of this, that they were bound. And so they rejected the faith of their fathers. And I saw a great scoffing and a great decline in the traditions and the foundations of the past. And this mass of people was divided into two camps: the first huge mass of people whose ankles were bound by the gnarling roots of the green tree from Europe were younger and seemed more modern in their approach. And I saw written over their head UNBELIEF, CYNICISM, and HUMANISM. And the foliage and green leaves seemed to shadow their heads, and I sensed that they were being attacked at a cerebral level. But the second group seemed to be those whose roots and foundations were from the established traditional denominations of Britain, yet they were just as affected as this first group. But I saw written over their heads PRIDE, SKEPTICISM, and CLOSED MINDEDNESS. And I sensed that the roots around their ankles had bound them in a different manner . . . that even if they heard the call of the Spirit in these days, the spiritual forces had them so bound that they could not move with the tide and the times of God. And I saw the green foliage literally cover and shadow their foreheads and eyes, and I saw the word "blinding." "Humble Yourselves and Put Aside your Opinions and Press into Me" And I said to the Lord, "Father, what does this mean?" And He said, "The spirits that led Europe into post Christian decline have invaded Great Britain over these past decades and have infiltrated and overshadowed the nation with the same humanism and paganism and secularism. And yet Britain is still so blinded by her roots and her foundations that she is still declaring herself a Christian nation," but the Lord says, "that she has been shackled by the enemy." And I said, "Lord, what can break the shackles?" And the Lord spoke and said, "The prayers and fervent supplications of my saints in Great Britain. The repentance for the sins of commission and omission on behalf of the governments of Great Britain, on behalf of the people of Great Britain." Then I asked the Lord about the Church, and He showed me thousands of people all belonging to different denominations with divisions and literally multitudes of OPINIONS. And somehow it seemed that the people's opinions were all more important in their eyes than God's opinion, and I heard Him say, "Until their opinions become My opinion, the Church will continue to be divided among itself and be weak and underfed and lack the true POWER of GOD. Oh, yes," says the Lord. "There are many meetings, there are many committees, there are many opinions, opinions, but it is not the opinion and the thoughts of men's hearts that will change the destiny of Great Britain, but the opinion and the thoughts and intents of the word of the Living God. Humble yourselves . . . Humble yourselves and put aside your opinions and press into me, the Living God for a living Word." And the Lord said, "A humble and penitent heart I will not despise." And I saw the words written: DIVISIONS AND FACTIONS. Then as people dropped to their knees -- all over Britain from every walk of life and denomination – the lion started to change, and He grew strong and sleek and his roar grew stronger. And I saw written in the spirit: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." And as the people started to seek the face of the Lord, I saw the word COURAGE, and I knew that in the spirit realm that Great Britain had been endowed from the beginning of time with the mantle COURAGE, and the Lord said LIONHEART. And God said Britain has yet to move into her end time destiny in the nations. And I saw again in great letters the words: "THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED FROM THE LION, BUT THE GLORY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL RETURN." And the lion's roar by now had gained strength. And then the Lord said, "Manchester – Newcastle – then Birmingham – London – Edinburgh - Glasgow – Southampton – Bournemouth." And I heard Him say "Airports" – not airlines but airports – "Malls – shopping centres" – that He was urging the saints to pray a higher protection over these places and over these things. And I felt Him go back once again to around Manchester; again, I do not understand why. And then he started to speak of Great Britain's destiny . . . by Wendy Alec www.unknownprophet.com ____________________________________ The Lion rises and sends evangelists into Europe Kim Clement (Prophecy transcribed from TBN Praise the Lord Thanks to Neil Grant for sending it). Below is transcript of a word given for Great Britain by Kim Clements at the end of the above show (sky 674)broadcast to Europe on Tuesday 12th July 2005 "Just one more thing that I'm feeling very strongly right now...because of what they did for the nation that stood with America, just a few days a go, Great Britain, a soil that once surrendered to the enemy - atheists, God says now because this that has happened I will cause to arise from the great Lion the evangelists, the evangelists of this day and age shall come out of the caves and shall come out of their hiding places and shall touch the untouchable and because the lion was wounded just for moment I will take Britain and I will cause them to touch the entire European continent, all the European nations. Scandinavia and God says this is going to happen so quickly, and I will cause a fire to come forth again because of what they did to the lion that stood with this nation [America] says the Lord." Kim Clements TBN Europe Praise the Lord 12th July 2005 ____________________________________ Vision of Darkness Coming Upon England Cindy Jacobs July 7, 2005 http://www.injesus.com/Groups/ViewMessage.cfm?MessageId=FB0071K8&UCD=x8r While in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida on April 6th, speaking for Bishop Hamon and Christian International, I had an angelic visitation. During this visitation the Lord gave me a vision of England. The forces of darkness were coming from across the world upon that nation. This was not the first time that I had seen this darkness upon England in a vision. The Lord spoke to me strongly about Prince Charles at that time. He said to me, "Prince Charles has been tried in the balance and found wanting." Two days ago I read an article in the Arizona Republic newspaper while flying out of Phoenix that told of the controversy over Prince Charles wanting to build a mosque in a planned community that he is building. The people of the area were protesting and saying that there were hardly any Muslims in the area and that they did not want one to be built there. The article went on to say that the prince has a section in his garden dedicated to Is1am. There has been an uncovering of the nation to the spirit of Is1am through the prince's actions. By aligning with the spirit of Is1am, a vulnerability to judgment has been opened in the nation. This is not the full reason for the attack, but it is certainly an open door. This is what the Lord is saying to the true church of England: There is a warrior spirit in the heart and soul of the British people. The sleeping giant of the church is a rising and the battle for well-being of the nation is at stake. Arise and stand and fight the giant of Is1am and terrorism that is in your very midst and I will shake even the monarchy and move righteousness into the land. Cindy Jacobs July 7, 2005 [Note that prayer warfare is raising the Kingdom of God against the spirits of darkness that is blinding people to the true light of the son of God. This is not a war of violence against individuals held captive by other religions - but the light to set them free] [Note Prince Charles is reported to have sought to help former Muslims, being persecuted for their new faith in other countries ... After the death of Diana and the Muslim link there too, it appears that the Royals are high on the target list of other religious forces] see article below: http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/s05030007.htm ____________________________________ Come (Great Britain) Now Is The Time To Worship Geoff Sadler Jul 11, 2005 Whatever we focus our attention on, if it ends up captivating us, can be a form of worship, whether it be a football team, a rock band, the internet, or whatever. We were made to worship God and because it is our nature to worship, it means we are susceptible to worshipping the wrong things at times. In the same way that God wants us to worship Him, demonic forces also want us to worship them. This can happen in subtle ways. The recent bombings in London have focused our attention on terrorism and have highlighted for the church in England the need for warfare to happen in the spirit as well as taking the gospel to the people of England by proclaiming and demonstrating the Kingdom of God with healing, signs and wonders. Last week I published a couple of words which mentioned the need for violent praise at this time as a key to the spiritual battle there. I believe that grace empowered, violent praise is a key that will send confusion and destroy the plans of demonic spiritual forces in Great Britain. This morning however, I heard the Lord say that it's important at this time to worship HIM. With so much of the wrong things getting our attention, we NEED to worship HIM for our own spiritual good. Demonic forces have got the attention of the people of Great Britain at the moment including the church, but it's important for the church at this time to 'come up higher' and receive His strategy for the way ahead. Worship is warfare in the sense that it defeats the enemy's plans to shift the attention on them and worship them. When grace empowered. no holds barred, violent praise and Spirit filled worship happen, the enemy has to flee. With this in mind I felt the Lord was saying the following, "Come Great Britain, now is the time to worship. Though your sins are scarlet I will make them as white as snow. There's a time for war and a time for praise but I'm calling you in this hour to come up higher. It's important that your focus is on ME for the battle ahead. This is not a time to cower, this is not a time to hold back and this is not a time to hate. I AM your God and there shall be no other. At this time though, come and worship ME. Come into the inner court and I will supply you with the grace and My Spirit to conquer the forces of darkness. For the battle belongs to ME says The Lord and it will only be won as I empower you, therefore abide in me and I will abide in you. Focus your attention on ME, lavish your love upon ME, lift up your praises to ME and I will give you the keys for what lies ahead. Remember what I said that love never fails and know that it is MY love that you need. As you lavish your love upon ME so in turn I will lavish MY love upon you. As I lavish MY love upon you, you will lavish your love upon others. Be wise also how you fight this battle. I AM wisdom, I WILL give you wisdom. You will receive power when I pour out MY Spirit upon you. The earth is MINE and the fulness thereof. Don't let the enemy intimidate you into thinking otherwise. When I send you, you will go in the power of MY Spirit and you will go as ambassadors of MY kingdom. You will fight as I empower you to fight and you will love as I empower you to love. Come Great Britain, now is the time to worship." ____________________________________ London 7th July 2005 Insight on judgement causes from Greater London Prayer Wall http://www.greaterlondonprayerwall.org/propheticwords.htm ____________________________________ Chuck Pierce on London Attacks "I was awakened this morning at 4:30 am, unable to breathe . . . " by Chuck D. Pierce Glory of Zion International Ministries www.glory-of-zion.org Dear Friends: I was awakened this morning at 4:30 am, unable to breathe. Around 5 am, the Lord told me to turn on the television and watch the news. I had been praying about our trip to England that I leave on this afternoon. When I turned on the news, Tony Blair was making the statement that London has been attacked by terrorists. The underground transportation network and bus network in central London had been suspended due to several bombings. Actually, the bus that was shown on the news that had been attacked was very close to the hotel we are scheduled to stay in. TODAY IS THE 40TH DAY Here is the word I gave 40 days ago concerning London and Great Britain: http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=3119. If you remember, when we returned from Nigeria in late May, the Lord had us stop in London overnight and I spoke at a County Tour meeting in London County. I gave a very detailed word that within 40 days the nation would change. You can read the details from this report here: http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=3119. TODAY IS THE 40th DAY! [Note from webmaster Chuck's words refered to here also appeared on this site, a page now located in http://www.ourchurch.com/view/?pageID=195203 "England you have a choice" is near the bottom of the page] When I was in England in May 2004, I gave a word about an 18 month window for the realignment of that nation. This realignment would set the course to determine the next seven years of spiritual activity. In that word, the Lord said, "Do not resist in this season of war. Raise your shield of faith high. Do not become complacent and sympathetic with the enemy that is in your land. If you do, your land will be overtaken . . . Governmental and social banquets should be watched carefully." I believe the G8 Gathering that is going on in Scotland is very strategic to change a course of world finance. This bombing occurred at the beginning of that gathering. WIN THROUGH VIOLENT PRAISE We are returning to England because a gathering has been scheduled to begin today in London. This meeting is called AWAKEN. The purpose is to change the course of their nation. This meeting is hosted by Rod and Julie Anderson, and runs from tonight through the 10th. They share, "In an environment where for a few days we can all gather to pray and seek God, with no agenda, and no concrete schedule, we believe the synergy that takes place could birth much insight if we will have ears to hear. To create this atmosphere we need to pray and depend on God to awaken people's hearts to the 'Now Move' of the Spirit of God. God's word is all truth, but then there is the 'present truth' that the Lord wants us established in (2 Peter 1:12)." Other speakers include Dutch Sheets, and Tom & Jane Hamon. The team traveling with me consists of Dutch Sheets, Marty Cassady, Ginny Marks, Robert & Linda Heidler, Joe & Vonnie Askins, and Brian Kooiman. Then on Sunday night (July 10), I will be ministering at a citywide gathering in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In light of the upcoming marches (Protestant versus Catholic) that are scheduled to begin there next week, this is a key time to see the Body of Christ arise in a new way in Northern Ireland. In a separate email I will be sending out the clear word that came forth in the most recent Tuesday morning prayer meeting that I lead. This is probably one of the most incredible words that I have received from heaven to direct us for this season. So be watching for this word. The Lord began by saying, "Many people are trying to use old methods of warfare to win the war they are in. The only way you will win the war from this point forth is through violent praise. You cannot win any other way ... If you do not shift now, you will not be able to see the nations shift. I am sending you back to the root of this nation. Shift the root through violent praise... This is the time to open up the window of your future. Do not go backward. For in the next 10 days if you retreat then you will see the window of your future close, you will find yourself on the wrong side of Jordan, and your promise will not be able to be maintained." Blessings, Chuck D. Pierce Glory of Zion International Ministries www.glory-of-zion.org ____________________________________ Dream Date: 2 July 2005 – Terror Attack in London Steven Odonga http://www.billionsoulsforchrist.com/prophecies.htm In the dream I found myself riding in a black limousine seated next to Tony Blair (the British Prime Minister). We were traveling from somewhere through the streets of London and going to his residence. The sky was grey, and most things around looked black, white or grey. I sensed that there was some kind of national crisis with Terrorism. The Prime Minister was obviously very concerned. I could see through the car window that the British SAS and police wearing the yellow shirts over black clothing were out in full alert and the public were being warned and directed where they should and should not go. It was like a state of emergency of some situation. I did not offer any advice to the Prime Minister. It seemed that I was just an observer. In the next scene, I was in one of the offices in the British Parliament and looking through the tall glass windows I could see SAS troops walking around in-groups of threes on petrol. The windows were all closed and taped over to prevent gas leaking in. I also saw briefly, a boy (8-9 years old) who looked about my son’s age, lying down on a table sound asleep. I was obviously concerned about his wellbeing and I double-checked that the windows were securely sealed. Then I woke up. It was after 2:00am. I got up and went to the bathroom and then wonder to and fro what this strange dream was all about. I asked the Lord to make me remember it when I got up in the morning, in case it was from Him and there was a message in it. I also thought to myself, that I had nothing to do with Tony Blair’s wife in the dream because perhaps God did not have a message for her. I went back to bed and lay down the dream continued but a different scene presented itself. This time I was in a large room with a very long dark (black) table. In this room the black (dark coloured) chairs were not arranged around the table as in a dinning room or boardroom setting. I noticed that there was rubbish everywhere including paper, cardboard box strips, and dust and dirt in the room. It was a messy room. As I looked around Sharee Blair (Tony Blair’s wife) walked in. She seemed rather flustered as she walked passed. It was clear to me that this was her room or area of influence. Again I was an observer only. Then the dream ended and I woke up. Possible Interpretation of the 8-9 year old boy asleep The 8 –9 year young boy lying on a table fast asleep represented the 8 year length of term of Tony Blair’s Government. Tony Blair is, obviously concerned that potential for a gas attack on parliament would kill off his term in office, so he is taking all the necessary precautions to prevent that occurring. Possible Interpretation of the Sheree Blair scene The terror issue affected Sheree Blair significantly and Tony Blair noticed that she was not managing her responsibilities properly. She was seriously flustered and seemed to have lost control of her responsibilities. She needs prayer support. Fulfilment of the dream Date: 7 July 2005 There has been a terrorist attack on London this morning at 8:45am. There were three explosions in the underground train network and also on a double decker bus. Fulfilment of second part of dream: 21 August 2005 There has been a news report that “UK police foil Parliament gas attack”. “British police believe they have foiled a nerve gas attack by the Al Qaeda terrorist network on the British Parliament, the Sunday Times reported. The newspaper said the plot to target the House of Commons, or Lower House, was prepared last year and had been discovered in coded emails on computers seized from terror suspects in Britain and Pakistan.” http://www.billionsoulsforchrist.com/prophecies.htm ____________________________________ LONDON EARTHQUAKE WARNING Tim Cook Added 30 June 2005 Exerts for Britain taken from a personal vision By this time I think I was kneeling with the awe of the place. I knew that I was wounded and dirty from battle... you have come to the Mount of Prophets, son, because you have desired the higher things of God's Kingdom ... and also repented on Britain's behalf for her treatment of ... American prophets... I stood at the top of the steps. The man had an armful of scrolls, healing leaves to take back, and three different spears of amazing colour, intricacy and purpose. The golden broach would give me access to the libraries. I felt to open the first scroll. "This is a warning and a judgement on London. She must not join with Europe - or there will be an earthquake. The United Kingdom must preserve her unique destiny before God". I assumed this meant some sort of spiritual quake. I saw the year. [note in the vision no explanation is given as to the meaning of the date. Dates are highly unreliable even when given by mature prophets and intercession and repentance can change God's mind to save confusion the date has been withheld with the agreement of Tim - Prophetic Anointing Webmaster] I was taken to a huge and dark hall - it was a Hall of Destiny - for Britain I think. All I could do was lie face down and weep. There are mantles of intercession and repentance waiting in heaven for the church to find and take on ... ____________________________________ For MORE INFO Concerned by the not so hidden agendas of the EU system http://www.thewatcher.co.uk/europe/europe.htm ____________________________________ Unusual Torential Rain Catherine Brown RELEASED 27 JUNE 2005 Report indicates a fulfilment of Musa Opiyo's prophecy (7th May - listed below) on unusual downpours of rain occuring) Just as the conference ended (18TH JUNE), we were deluged with extreme rain downpours all across Scotland. One of the key Scriptures for the conference was "he will send down showers of blessings"! Here is just one interesting comment from Marjory, part of our Gatekeepers family. On Saturday night as there was much prophesying over Scotland and as Heidi saw the gates opening a torrential rainstorm hit Arran (just across the water from us)...the quotes from the news were as follows... "It was torrential from a thunder storm, so we made our way down the mountainside and saw streams of water I had never seen before. "Then down on the shore, water was pouring from almost every gap in the hillside and flooding over the road." "There were sections where rubble was being swept across the road, from where the cart tracks were being eroded and boulders were being carried by the water across the road. All in all it was very dramatic. "I haven't seen rain like it on Arran, I am sure these rivers and streets have never been so full." I discovered a little quote on a website which said "Arran is often known as Scotland in miniature".....!! May this indeed be a little picture of what the Lord is going to do in the whole land - may the river of the Spirit flood our land - hallelujah As prophesied (Musa Opiyo - May 2005) Unusual flooding hits again this time in Yorkshire (June 2005) A prophetic word given to Pastor David Scoffins Jun 28, 2005 The Coming Flood of God's Power A prophetic vision Given to Pastor David Scoffins On the Sunday the 19th of June, a devastating flood hit the village of Helmsley in North Yorkshire. Helmsley is set in the north York moors, one of the most beautiful areas of England. The village and other villages around it where engulfed by a wave of mud and water over 3 feet high, the mud entered every house in the village and cause untold damage . On the night of the 21st, the Lord gave me a vision or dream I really don't know which. It was as if I was taken in the Spirit to see this vast devastation. I walked around viewing, looking at the terrible sight. I asked The Lord "Why are you showing me this, what are you trying to tell me? The Lord told me that the devastation that I saw was the result of the curse which Adam had placed upon the earth through obeying satan rather then God. The Lord told me then that what happens on earth, is mirrored by what is happening in the spiritual realm. The Flood that I saw, was satan doing his best to 'kill, steal and destroy', but The Lord said that 'He came to bring abundant life'. The Lord told me that He is Going to send a full of Holy Ghost Power such as this world as never seen. That while the natural flood deposited mud in the houses, and made them unusable. The Lord was going to send a flood, which would clean up His House, The Church.

I have posted the entire 'word' on the Prophetcom website at: www.prophetcom.co.uk Could you please get back to me with your thoughts so that we might begin to find our response to this email and give a stand on this? Looking at the agreements required, can we agree together on these issues? Lets spend some time in prayer over this, and seek the Lord's understanding and enlightenments so that we flow in the right direction. For what it's worth, I would add a little insight. I believe that last Monday, the 11th June Sheffield moved into a time of 'grace' and 'mercy' and as long as we flow with the alignments God is bringing to bear, we are 'protected, and blessed'. Michael Jackson situation is a sign of this. He stood under judgement but he came out from under Judgement,[into a time of great mercy and grace] on the understanding that his lifestyle has to change. This fits with the comments below 'The Lord is offering a season of great mercy and even protection to the nation, on the basis that the church will willingly submit in this season to the scalpel. If there is no submitting to the scalpel then the sword will come over London....' As prophetic people in Sheffield, I feel we have a duty to look at this seriously and give a response. It is time for the prophetic voice of Sheffield to stand with the Prophetic voice over the nation. Be very blessed. Tina Words for consideration Martin Scott Jun 21, 2005 Today is the summer solstice, a time when many occultic agreements are made, a turning time in the nation. I am sending this email out trusting that it will be something of a resource at this time. I am aware that many prophetic words are given and it is not possible to read / weigh them all. The first comes from a recent 24 hour prophetic roundtable. The word has been released as soon as possible and therefore I am aware that not all those present have had time to weigh it. We have been urged though to get it out at this time. I will leave it as sent out. The second is from Obii Pax-Harry for consideration again for this month. My understanding when dates of that nature are given it usually indicates a release from that time, rather than meaning in the month of June and only in the month of June. Word re: Three angels over the UK / London This is a word that came out of our meeting. Martin Scott, Sue Mitchell, Obii Pax-Harry and Wale Babatunde put their names to it. Please send it out to your connections if you agree with it, we must get it out to the Church. A number of people were called together to wait on the Lord in the light of 'several prophetic words about crisis coming to the land'. There had been a provocation as to where the UK prophets were in response to these words. It was in this context, as we met, that we discerned the appearance of three angels. The first was holding a sword ready for use but not in a totally threatening position; the second came with a surgical scalpel; the third came and sat down in order to record the agreements (that we would come to) so that corresponding angelic activity might take place to put into motion what had been agreed. It is a time for prophetic agreements to be made that will accelerate the church into a new day. This will mean greater disturbance but we cannot afford at this time to fall back into old comfort zones. Often with swords sunlight can be reflecting on them making them look even more threatening. This was not the case with this sword however, but with the scalpel. So the scalpel was being 'brandished' and appeared threatening, urgent and somewhat frightening. These three angels are here until the end of the year to work with the prophetic in the nation, but also have a very specific mandate with respect to London. The sword is over the nation / the capital; the scalpel is over the church in the land; and the 'recorder' is here to record the agreements. (A note: angels are fellow servants with us of the one Lord, and are to work with the body of Christ to hasten us toward the future day. Agreement on earth can release them to fulfil their assignment - hence the 'recording' of what was being agreed on.) The Lord is offering a season of great mercy and even protection to the nation, on the basis that the church will willingly submit in this season to the scalpel. If there is no submitting to the scalpel then the sword will come over London. If the church can awaken, submit to the deep incisions of the Lord then the capital can be kept safe for a season. During this season two things must happen. (But first a word about the length of the season. We discern that the Lord is both speaking of a six month and a three year season. There is a six-month season during which the church needs to make a response, and dependent on this response will determine if there is a three year season for the land to experience the mercy of God. The three year period then is dependent on the shifts within the church over these next six months.) Two things then must happen: 1) the church has to prepare for what is to come to the city - London in particular and also cities it the land. The church has to understand that judgment can be either redemptive or fatal. Through intercession and positioning we can enable judgments to become redemptive. We cannot now afford to come into old agreements in order to avoid judgment, but rather must allow the deep incisions in the church to take place which must change our manner of prayer and expectation to a future shape rather than a past expectation. So the church must be chastened so that we are ready to allow for God to exercise a measure of judgment in the land. and 2) to pray for the conviction of God to come upon the city during this period of grace. We must pray for hearts to be softened, for pride to be subdued. On a wider front the strong encouragement is from the Lord for prophetic ministries, watchpersons and intercessors to come to agreements during these next six months. These agreements are not be based around calling for the avoidance of judgment, but for the church to come under the scalpel of the Lord, and of the nation being prepared to receive the judgment of the Lord redemptively. It is not too vital that we determine if we are a prophetic ministry, a watchperson or an intercessor, but it is vital that we participate at whatever level we can in calling for this shift in season. Any pause over the nation must be matched by an equal acceleration of time within the body. So let us willingly submit to the chastening of the Lord, and to know that in these next six months when the church is shaken yet again that this is an unfolding of the purposes of the Lord. In closing then it seemed to us that we were to make agreements along the following lines: • for the scalpel of the Lord to come deliberately and decisively to church, to cut away areas that have been festering through wrong alignments, false loyalties, and desires for current security and peace that will sacrifice our future. • for the church to gain an understanding that the avoidance of judgment can prove to be a false and unproductive mercy - that judgment can indeed prove to be merciful. • for the hearts of those in power and in positions of control in the nation to be softened, ready to receive any forthcoming judgment in a redemptive manner. • for any future striking of the city / cities / nation in a physical or economic sense to be with minimal loss of life but maximum redemptive effect. Vision of an ancient scroll (from Obii Pax-Harry) During June 2003 (17th & 18th) I saw a scroll appear over Birmingham (Wednesday 17th). On the following day (Thursday 18th) I saw the same scroll but this time it stood over the nation. I use the word 'nation' loosely meaning England and more than likely Scotland, Ireland, Wales and the Islands. The scroll was quite old looking. We are in a season for understanding of the contents of the ancient scroll, “The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple (Ps 119:130 AMP). I believe time has come for 'understanding' of that which has already been recorded concerning the church, land, people, government etc in Britain. During a prophetic gathering held recently, a senior prophet discerned the presence of three Angels each bearing specific assignments. The third Angel’s assignment was to “record” agreements that were made between the prophets at the gathering, and God. I believe this Angel was also recording the prophets’ ability to lay down personal agendas, to assume national responsibilities regarding previous ‘agreements’ (prophetic decrees) made by men such as John Wesley, awaiting interpretation and application. May 2005 was a month for surprises, and now June 2005 is a month for UNDERSTANDING. Are you willing to receive interpretation of what has been recorded concerning you…your destiny? This is a month to pray and receive the grace for understanding of prophecies previously spoken concerning you, old cycles in your life, generational bondages, curses, covenants and family line inheritance. Simply pray for this grace and believe God by faith for clarity over previously ‘misty’ (unclear) issues in your life, community, and nation. Obii Pax-Harry ____________________________________ Big Ben stops and Tower Bridge Two Great Symbols of London - A Sign to us? Geoff - Webmaster Prophetic Anointing 4 June 2005 Prophetic visions have been given of Tower Bridge Open wide - like London opening her gates to the Spirit of Revival. Is God telling us the TIME is here for the City to OPEN for the King of Kings. [Have your say use the "Email Us"] LONDON — London’s historic Tower Bridge failed to close on Thursday 2nd June after the drawbridge’s arms were raised to allow boats to pass underneath, reports said Tower Bridge gets stuck for ten hours following just days after Big Ben stopped. London's Tower Bridge became stuck and caused traffic jams after its arms opened for ships to pass on the Thames, less than a week after another London landmark, Big Ben, stopped telling the time. EMAILS Email from Dave Hood re: Tower Bridge I hear what you say about these occurrences...Psalm 24 comes to mind...that the King of Glory may come in. Throw open the doors of our temples that the King of Glory may come in, swing wide your gates ... Email from Lois Smith re The Signs Something came to me as soon as I read the rest of those signs. A friend once told me that we see only "shadows" of what is going on in the spiritual realms. They said it is as if we "shadow box". I never forgot. We don't fully see all of what goes on in the battles in the heavenlies; but we see just a fragment of those "shadows". It is good you're looking. Keep being sensitive to the Spirit. The Prophecy below roughly coincides with Historic, unexplainable 90-Minute Stop of BIG BEN CLOCK For an explanation of the sword see prophecy below this: (Musa Opiyo - 7th May 2005) A sword over London Chuck Pierce. 29 May 2005 LONDON REPORT As we were waiting in London for our flight to Nigeria, we looked out the windows and saw an interesting pattern in the clouds. There was clearly a sword emblazoned in white across the sky. We knew the Lord was communicating about the SWORD that had come into the atmosphere over London and England. At last night’s meeting in London, I explained how this is a year of signs in the sky. Not only did we see this when we were coming through England on our way to Nigeria, but also when we arrived back in London for our overnight stay. The picture over our desk in our hotel room was a picture of London. The sky in this picture was the formation of a sword where two jets had intersected their contrails. Sharon Stone is leading a prayer effort across England to gather God’s people and pray in every county. This is very similar to what Dutch Sheets and I did in America as we went from state to state in our nation. God had sovereignly ordained us to be in England for a layover so we could be a part of the historic Middlesex County gathering in London. (We met in the heart of this area that hosts the financial and governmental capitals of the United Kingdom.) There is a structural weakness that God is addressing in the system of government in the U.K. If God does not intervene now, England will be absorbed by the European Union. As these groups of intercessors meet from county to county (this was their seventh county meeting) the atmosphere in that nation is beginning to change. (I know that Martin Scott and other groups are also praying throughout England at this time.) I explained that we “saw a sword in the heavens over London and England.” I then led the people to ask “what does this mean at this time?” I explained prophetically that any vision or supernatural phenomenon must be interpreted in light of the Word of God. In the Word of God, a sword can have the following meanings: war, pending judgment, a malicious tongue bringing division, the power of truth, a weapon linked with the armor of God or a piece of armor used in warfare to produce victory. I went back and shared various scenarios from the Word of God linked with the sword. I explained how Jesus in Matthew 10:34 stated, “Think not that I have come to seek peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” I shared that this was a time that the sword was being awakened in the atmosphere over London. One chapter of importance that began to surface was Numbers 14. This is the chapter where Israel refuses to enter Canaan and Moses begins to intercede for the people. I concentrated on two verses. Number 14:3, where the congregation cries out saying, “Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” They actually tried to elect leadership that would take them “back” to their familiar captivity. The other scripture was Numbers 14:43, “For the Amalekites and Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the LORD, the LORD will not be with you.” I shared that I could hear the Lord saying that this was a critical time and the next 40 days could determine the reversal of the power of unbelief that was holding the Church captive in that nation. This was the chapter where the people were punished after they were not willing to go to war when they saw the giants in the land. I felt the Lord saying He wanted to take a sword and cut from them the power of unbelief and passivity and the fear to war for their inheritance. However, I ended with Joshua 5. I saw a tremendous pattern that God was trying to bring forth. This chapter includes 1.) the concept of crossing over to advance toward your inheritance, 2.) circumcision, or cutting away, of the reproach linked with your past captivity and unbelief, 3.) the provisional change from manna to eating the produce of the new land, and 4.) the visitation of the Man of heaven with the drawn sword. I reminded them that I saw the sword in the heavens over London, but did not see what hand was holding and guiding it at this time. I decreed that tradition would not guide the Church from this day forward. I also decreed that false religion (the sword of Islam) would not be able to be the guiding force over England. From this passage I felt like God was saying, “I want to take charge over England and London for this hour. I want to be the Commander in Chief over how you progress forward from this day on. I want to transfer a new power over you so you can face that which has been invincible in your past. Contend for My sword to begin to lead you in victory against the giants that you have been unwilling to face in the past. This is your time.” Please continue to pray for London. Two Trumpets Prayer Alert and Harvest 7 May 2005 Prophetic Insights For The UK Musa Opiyo May 8, 2005 Two Trumpets In a vision I see two shofars. The first one has Ezekiel 37 written on it and as it sounds, it is calling the Lord's army to awaken from their slumber. From North, South, East and West he is gathering his army of men, women, boys and girls, and calling them to awaken. He is drawing them from the four corners of this country to be united together to receive a strategy to overcome the enemy from the Chief Strategist, Jesus himself. A second shofar is then blown and its high pitched piercing sound is calling his people to war. And I hear the Lord saying fear not. As I said to My servant Joshua, so I say unto you, be strong and courageous. Do not fear the war that is before you, for I have anointed your hands for war and your fingers for battle. (Psa 144:1) A Call To War There is a war going on in the heavenlies between the armies of heaven and the armies of darkness. God is calling his people to violent praise and intercessory prayers. God is calling his people to begin to pray unusual prayers of faith. Decree that every stronghold is broken. God is calling us to violent praise. This means to praise him even when we feel that there is so much opposition, for that will be a sign that you are nearing breakthrough. The Word of the Lord to his people in this land is Don't give up. Continue to prophesy and decree the downfall of every unrighteous foundation and structure in the land and call down by faith the anointing that breaks the yoke (Isa 10:27). There will be an unusual sign in the heavens of rain falling at unusual times, even during the summer months. As we pray for this nation and its leadership, it will be a sign of breakthrough and the Lord bringing the former and latter rain in its fullness (Jer 5:24). God is sounding his trumpets to awaken his people and calling his people to earnest prayer for the nation. This is a time of grace and a time when he is releasing an open heaven over his saints so that they will receive direction on how to pray. I believe the Lord wants us to be bold with our prayers, as the word says that the Kingdom of God suffers violence, and it is the violent that take it by force (Matt 11:12). Let us boldly come come before the throne of grace and ask him for this nation. Harvest for Souls There is a turning of the tide and I believe there is a great harvest of souls in this land waiting to hear the message of Christ. I believe there is a mindset of self-consciousness that the Lord would want to break over his people. The Lord wants us to be radical for him, and by that I don't mean to just get out of control, but a boldness to share Jesus message of salvation freely knowing that some might reject this message. The Lord will give us wisdom in leading us to those who we are to minister to, because there are some who are not ready to hear the message of Christ's death and resurrection, and so we are admonished to be careful not to "cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet" (Matt 7:6) Prayer Covering against Terrorism The Lord is calling his people his people to pray for a covering of the blood of Jesus over the borders of the nation, because there is a big wave of terrorism planned and meant for this nation, yet I hear him saying If only My people would pray. Prayer will change the course of events and all plans and operations of terrorism will be averted if we continue to pray. Harvest for Muslims There is also coming a great harvest for Muslims into the Kingdom of God that is going to happen here in the UK. There is a special grace for Muslims and so I hear the Lord say don't be surprised to see Muslims unusual open to hear the Gospel. At this time it is very easy to judge Muslims and to label the word 'terrorist' on them, yet the war we are up against is not against flesh and blood, but "against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph 6:12), which in this case is the spirit of Islam behind it. I prophesy the fall of the spirit of Islam in this nation says the Lord. Marketplace anointing being released There is a marketplace anointing on this land. I hear the Lord say I am going to move out of the four walls of the church and into the businesses and offices, into the supermarkets and into the retail outlets. I am calling My people, those that are willing, to be vessels of light in these areas. I am breaking the confines that people have placed Me under and reaching those that were previously unreachable. A Garment of Praise There is a garment of praise that is being placed over this nation. I believe the Lord is releasing new sounds in the heavenlies that will shake this nation to the core. I hear the Lord saying My people do not realise the value and strength of their praise, but as they open their mouths I will fill it with My praises says the Lord. It was praise that brought the walls of Jericho down. Praise sends the armies of darkness into confusion, and so as we praise, the enemy shall be sent into confusion. Know who your true enemy is I believe this is a warning from the Lord against seeds of division that are being sown by the enemy, satan, in order to distract us and throw us off course. The Lord is calling us to unity in our walk with him (Amos 3:3). Why is he sowing division? "Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken." (Eccl 4:12) He knows that as we stand in unity, we are a much stronger force against him and together in our prayers and our praise there isn't much that he can do. Let us stand together as one Body in Christ. A new day is dawning for the U.K. From the four corners of this nation the Lord is drawing us together to seek him and worship him in spirit and in truth. A day in which his promises for us shall come to pass, for they are indeed yes, and in Him amen (2 Cor 1:20) Blessings, Musa Opiyo http://mannaword.no-ip.com _________________________________ Great Grace for the UK Geoff Sadler 5 May 2005 Here's my word. I believe the next five years will be a time of great grace for Great Britain. As I say I'll write more but some of you may know that it is election day today in GB. The fifth of the fifth. Another sign if you'll indulge me is the city of LIVERPOOL. A prophetic city in England. Liverpool's famous football team, the most succesful in British history has just reached the European Champions League final. If they win it it will be for the FIFTH time. The game is played on the of the fifth. 5x5 is 25. The colour red is also something that is going to stand for passion and boldness this year. IF labour win Tony Blairs party their colour is red. Liverpool play in red. If neither win of course I don't know what that means. I still believe grace is being released. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Great Britain I have seen your humility and your servant heart and it pleases me. I have chosen you to serve the nations and know that this is not a small thing. It is a GREAT thing. Many have said your time is over but I say to you that the GREATEST among you will be the least. Because you have CHOSEN the place of humility I will bring GREAT reward. My GRACE will be poured out on you like never before. You will KNOW me in a NEW way. I will SAVE you and I will HONOUR you again. There is emerging a leadership and move even within the ROYAL family of GREAT GRACE. Wait for it for it will come. . . . .. . ... .... .. . . ![]() |
