Heather Butler and Jerry Bowers - Pulling Down the Alters - 22 March-2006
Jerry
We heard to day that the roof on the new football stadium in London that is to take the place of Wembly was collapsing yesterday. A huge beam fell to the ground, praise God no one was killed it was a miracle really. I believe that there is a pulling down of the alters beginning to happen in our nation. Wembly stadium has long been a building that hosts the biggest and best football matches etc and is world renowned, but many believe it is jinxed as there has been delays and hold-ups and now this.
Its interesting to note that throughout the nations we have instances of roofs falling in, sadly many have been killed, their are at least three instances where huge roofs have fallen in under heavy snow fall, and now this. What do you think, could it be a sign or is it nothing.
I believe that the idols are falling, that the pulling down of the alters in the UK are beginning to happen. Have you any insight into this at all,
Heather,
I sense a confirmation with what you are saying. alters are falling. The enemy is falling. It reminds me of Luke 10:17 where Jesus says, "I saw Satan fall like lightening over the city."

Martin Scott Flood Update 22-March-2006
A little while back (26/2/06) I sent out an email as 'Imminent flood: London'. Here is a copy of what I sent out on 15/3/06 After that personal repsonse enclose a response from the Daniel Watch in the City. I was very impressed by their mature response as they work and pray in such a key place.
Daniel Watch comments:
Thank you so much for sending out the warning recently by email on behalf of the Roundtable. We've been so encouraged and blessed by many of you over time that we felt to send a response which we hope will, in turn, be a blessing and encouragement to you. I'm therefore emailing this on behalf of the Daniel Watch (see foot). I don't have contact details for all in the Roundtable, so please feel free to forward to others as and if you feel appropriate.
We prayed during the 2 weeks after your email and below is a summary of what we felt God show us during our prayer time together:
The response of His Body - heeding the warning, praying into it, being obedient and preparing - was one of God's purposes of such words being released, and not just the actual warning of the flood. It was like a test of whether Christians would listen to God via the Prophets and how they would respond to the word.
An example of a poor response w as on 22/06/06; we felt God speak to us regarding His anger that Chuck Pierce's warning at the Awaken conference in London from 2 weeks beforehand had gone out into the nation and had largely been ignored, as not many people responded and prayed. He gave us a clear warning that these were not days in which the UK could afford to ignore what He says through His Prophets. Two weeks after 22/06/06 the 7/7 bombs happened, which was the 40th day as prophesied by Chuck Pierce.
Unlike June 2005, the word below has been taken seriously by those who have received it. Many people in London and across the nation have heeded it & prayed into it, whether they believe it will happen or not. Some who live/work in central London have even made practical preparation, e.g. emergency contingencies in their offices/companies, torches, water, household insurance, etc. in the event that it happens.
We concur that there is a danger of a serious phy sical flood at any point with a potential loss of life, and all the signs are there from many newspaper articles/websites. We have had frequent words, visions, & pictures of tidal waves over the City, water on the streets, water underground, and many other allusions to water in the past two years that we've been meeting. Our aim has been to open up to the Lord to make ourselves available to Him & to grow in the prophetic giftings He's graciously given to us. I ought to emphasise that during this period of gradual maturing we might not have been interpreting the older words & visions accurately, thinking perhaps that they were merely symbolising cleansing and not literally going to happen. (All words are transcribed should you want to see a copy of them).
A sense that God is about to flood London with His Love, mercy, & discipline - we don't know what this will look like yet. This was symbolic and not talking about a literal flood.
God has held his peace and restrained Himself for a long time, but not any longer. This was from Isaiah 42:14 - "I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman…" The UK is coming into a season of discipline as part of the release of His love which is necessary for the growth and change He wants to happen (see Hebrews 12:7).
We felt a clear request from God for Christians in the UK to now enter together into a time of repentance and into a season of fasting & prayer to birth the new season that we're coming in to, and the new things that He is wanting to do. There was also a specific request for the spiritual midwives to come before Him to seek His face for how to birth the new. There was also a warning not to underestimate the resistance of the enemy that will come as he tries to devour the new as it's being birthed.
In response to th e last point above, we are putting together a concise 21-day prayer-focus for friends to join in with us and pray for the UK at this time. This will start at the end of March. If anyone is interested in joining in with this (or incorporating it if already fasting/praying during Lent), please email: danielwatch@tiscali.co.uk and we will send it out by email next week.
Lastly, we wanted to encourage you all by saying thank you for releasing the word corporately. Although not all of the Daniel Watch know all of those in the Prophetic Roundtable, we are all God's children and we love and appreciate you all. Thank you for being obedient and releasing the warning so that people could respond, and they are still responding now, in prayer at least. We look forward to hearing what else God will say to you as you continue to meet and we ask that you please keep us updated?
Blessings,
The Daniel Watch, City of London
(I haven't listed everyone's names as you probably wouldn't know them all, but The Daniel Watch includes: Alex Skinner, Anthony French, & Jill Mclachlan amongst others.)
Personal commments:
March 4th was a key date. In the lead up to that date one of the boroughs put out an unprecedented letter warning of the Thames flooding. Since January 20th I had that date written in my calendar as a significant day. I sensed there would be a sign in the nation - perhaps even a flood. It is always difficult post-the-event because it is possible to declare something as this was the sign. Clearly there was no flood, but for me Tony Blair speaking as he did on Parkinson was a sign. When he spoke of coming under the judgment of the people and being answerable to God that was such a step forward. When the flood was to be a sign (as per Jonah) of redemptio n through judgment I sensed that Blair speaking as PM was being used by the Lord as a sign..
I do believe a flood is imminent - I would be surprised if it is as late as the Spring of next year.
The weather is indicating some reaction to the current season, and the waters remain as a very important aspect to the UK. Britannia does not rule the waves; authority over waters (and weather) is a major marker for prophetic people.
I do not know if there could have been a flood early March and that perhaps the weather (tides, rains and winds) are seeking to mock or not, but there is a shift that has taken place. We have time to continue to pray for the redemptive hand of the Lord.
(Although the above relates to a literal flooding of the Thames, there might be some value also in seeing the current trend of government pressure as a sign of flooding. Not in the sense of being the fulfilment - a literal flood will be the fulfilment; Government and ec onomics seems to me to be the two apsects that the Lord has been highlighting for the church and nation over this past 6 months.)

From the "Stop Springer" Campaign
Springer the Opera appeals only to the sort of person who really likes getting dog-mess on his shoes. Audiences are realising it is a degrading, rubbish show and they are staying away in droves.
"Our campaign is built on prayer and involves lobbying local councils, protesting to theatres and advance leafleting at each venue well before the production actually starts.
"We are then giving Gospel tracts to those attending each showing of Jerry Springer the Opera, and our campaign teams use tally counters so we get an accurate picture of how well our campaign has gone and how badly Jerry Springer the Opera has flopped at each venue.
"For too long Christians have allowed God-haters to walk all over our faith and drag the name of our Lord through the dirt. Jerry Springer the Opera has served as a wake-up call to the Church. Ordinary Christians are getting out on to the streets with the positive message of salvation in Jesus Christ and God is honouring us with success.
"Jerry Springer the Opera is plainly a failing production under a curse. I wonder how long this doomed show will stagger on before it is put out of its misery."

Revelation about a flood in London
Uzoamaka Ejiogu
This morning (March 8th 2006) I heard on Premier Radio News about the Prophetic Word from Prophetess Cindy Jacobs about the flood in London.
It reminded me of a vision I had on the 5th October 2005 about a flood that will happen in London.
I saw Tower Hill Bridge and the water from the River rose as high as the blue barriers of Tower Hill.
I prayed to God for a confirmation from His Word and subsequently, on the 8th November 2005, the Lord gave me a Scriptural reference about the coming judgement in London - Nahum 2:6-13 and Nahum 3:1-19.
As a result of this confirmation, I informed a Pastor in my church and I was advised to put it in writing, which I did. Few Months later, another Minister I know had a similar vision about the flood in London and it was very devasting.
Furthermore, on the 8th of September 2005, during the flood taking place in U.S.A, the Lord gave me Isaiah 24 as the Scriptural reference of what was taking place at that time in New Orleans.
I know there is a flood coming to London, and it will be worse than New Orleans. London is not prepared!
As a result of this revelation, I started informing my family and friends to prepare them. Ever since, I have been praying to God to reveal this vision to more people and I thank God that more and more people are receiving the revelation.
I have also asked God to give me a sign before the flood occurs and upon hearing Cindy Jacobs this morning and subsequently reading prophetic words on your website (especially about the Whale in London) I know the time is near. I have packed my suit cases and began to put things in place to avoid being caught up in the Flood.
I pray that people will take heed - NOAH listened, obeyed God and he survived!
People will say it is impossible for a flood to happen in London, but God says "Let Him that think he stands takes heed lets he fall!

WARNING OVER LONDON II
Victor Lorenzo
As I promised in my paper “Warning over London”, I’m following through to take responsibility for the word of prophecy concerning the appearance of the whale and the impending judgment over the city of London.
First let me explain to you my concept and understanding of prophecy, to give clarity and foundation for the things I want to tell you.
Prophecy is usually expressed in two dimensions, namely what and how God is going to do things. This means that God, through the prophets, is revealing what he is going to do, or what is going to happen, and how these events are going to be manifested. In these cases there is no clarity in timing and no conditions, so there is no way to prevent this thing happening. Examples of this are the words of judgment over nations that we can read in many of the prophets in the Bible, the judgments described by Jesus as the signs of the end and the book of Revelation. In this way God is telling us to be prepared and not to be surprised when judgement manifests. (1 Peter 4: 12-19)
Sometimes prophecy is expressed as conditional on the behaviour of people or expresses a third dimension, i.e. time. In these cases we can change the course of events by repenting and changing our behaviour. These opportunities are not only given to God’s people or the church but also to others, nations or individuals. We cannot measure in our understanding what is required to avert these judgments as this is totally in God’s righteousness and justice; he is the one who weighs and judges the hearts of men. So when the prophet is prophesying with conditions or timing, he knows that either the events prophesied are not necessarily going to happen or that the manifestation of them can be lessened.
The what and how of the prophecy that I received concerning London of floods as one of the instruments of judgment that God will use remain as a word that I understand is true, and something that in time is going to happen. I have been giving this word for almost seven years and I stand with it.
This is my explanation of the Warning over London declaration and the things that happened and didn’t happen and my interpretation of what is next, together with my apologies to those who feel offended or confused by this word.
I have no doubt that the sign of the whale was a clear manifestation of God’s will to call his church to be prepared and to understand that the course that this city and this nation have been following is coming close to crossing the line of his great mercy into a manifestation of his temporary wrath.
Although I have a good knowledge and understanding of biblical history, archaeology and anthropology, I decided to approach the timing in the book of Jonah as it is written and not to speculate with the interpretation of scholars about either the time it took Jonah to travel from the location where he was vomited to Nineveh, or if the marine creature that swallowed him was or was not a whale.
There was a wasting of time between the appearance of the whale and the realisation of the warning and I assume my responsibility for this and repent for my delay. As an explanation of this I can say that I was waiting for a manifestation of the prophets of this land and a corporate and unified declaration of things that we have been discussing and sharing over recent years. To some extent part of the purpose that God has with giving a warning is to provoke and to challenge us, the prophets, to boldness and courage.
On the other hand I was sure that something was going to happen, that God would give the small sign that I have been waiting for all these years, a small flood - the river breaking its banks next to the Square Mile. In the year 2005 I received Isaiah 32 as a word of warning and hope to the church in the city and the nation, calling us to come out of complacency and to prepare for the time of harvest. I kept in my heart the words from verses 15 to 20 from the Amplified translation:
“Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is valued as a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) will abide in the fruitful field. And the effect of righteousness will be peace [internal and external], and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever. My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places. But it [the wrath of the Lord] shall hail, coming down overpoweringly on the forest [the army of the Assyrians], and the capital city shall be utterly humbled and laid prostrate. Happy and fortunate are you who cast your seed upon all waters [when the river overflows its banks; for the seed will sink into the mud and when the waters subside, the plant will spring up; you will find it after many days and reap an abundant harvest], you who safely send forth the ox and the donkey [to range freely]”.
The lack of this sign is telling me that the church is still not ready and that we have a lot of work ahead to find the place of unity, the intensity of intercession and the boldness to evangelise that is required for the time of harvest that is promised. However, on the other hand my conviction is that there is not too much time and we need a dramatic acceleration and gearing up.
Looking for signs of repentance in the days after the whale appeared, I found one that was described by the Times to be remarkable and unprecedented, namely the declaration of the Church of England officially repenting for their participation or involvement in the slave trade. Also there was a big mobilisation of prayer for London and the nation and we promoted a vigil between 28th February to 1st March. I don’t know if these actions will prevent things happening, but I am sure that they count in the eyes of God.
I also expressed many times that judgment is constantly manifesting in this city and in the nation. More people are dying every day in condemnation than in salvation, and we need something to turn this tide. I know from experience that change and breakthroughs for salvation are preceded by times of conflict, afflictions and judgment.
Is God ready? Are we ready? Last December 8000 churches worked together in Argentina in a special programme of evangelism. In less than a week nearly 350,000 people came to Christ, the same number that every day come to work in the Square Mile. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Are you ready?
I’m making myself accountable to the ones I submit to in this nation, and to those in the office of the prophet that I have worked with over the years, to weigh my recent actions and to correct me if they consider that I acted incorrectly or if I misled with false prophecy. Personally I am considering calling myself to a period of silence on this particular issue, but at the same time working hard to be ready in London for the time when the signs of an imminent harvest will be in place.
For those who felt aggravated, angry or confused by the warning I sincerely apologise. As I said I respect your judgment and weighing of the word given, but I strongly resist with many blessings the judgments and personal accusation of people that don’t know me or my trajectory in ministry. For those who consider that I have lost authority let me tell you that I never impose authority, and if in any way my authority is recognised I want it to be because of my works and fruits of service.
I want to thank many people for the incredible amount of support and encouragement that I received over the past few weeks, as a sign that we need the prophets and apostles to manifest in this time to give direction and understanding for the church to rise up from maintenance and surviving into conquering and abundance of life.
Hope that this will answer your questions and will give a more solid foundation to judge the warning over London and to be prepared for the days to come. My prayer for all of us is that God will give us courage, boldness and perseverance to intercede and to evangelise, to move toward the position of harvest and blessing.
In Christ

On the Thames Whale
In the Old Testament book of Jonah, the authorised version's 'great fish' that swallows the prophet eventually tunes its radar to the right frequency, receives the word of God and, after a long weekend in the depths, saves the errant holy man by spewing him up on to dry land, whence he goes on to rescue the reprobates of Nineveh from the wrath of the Almighty.
Either way, we have obligations. Which makes it so tragic that this time London's efforts to repay an ancient debt failed

RELIGIOUS HATRED BILL VICTORY!
Andrea Minichiello Williams
Lawyers Christian Fellowship
What can we say but PRAISE GOD!! It was by his glory and grace that our months of prayer and petition were answered! On Tuesday night the government’s version of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill was defeated, despite the government’s majority of 67MPs and the immense pressure exerted by the government to get people to vote for the Bill. It is only the second time in 9 years that Labour have lost a vote in the Commons. It was a vote which even the opposition MPs said could not be won. It is a vote which Christians knew, faithfully trusting in God’s sovereignty, could always be won.
It was on Tuesday at 7:45pm that the House of Commons voted against the government’s version of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill. There were two votes held: in the first vote, the question was whether the RACIAL hatred laws would be changed, and the government was defeated by 10 votes. On the issue of the RELIGIOUS hatred laws, the government was defeated BY JUST ONE VOTE. Tony Blair voted in the first vote, but left before the second vote. That means it was the failure of the Prime Minister to vote which in human terms meant victory for those opposing the government’s Religious Hatred Bill.
The BBC news website described it as a ‘surprise defeat’, the London Metro and The Daily Mail described it as a ‘Shock defeat’, and in the Guardian, Labour minister Mr. Hain ‘admitted the government had been taken by surprise by the defeat.’
The upshot of the vote was that the Religious Hatred Bill was passed, but it was the House of Lords’ version of the Bill, not the Government’s version, that will become law. The Lords’ version was a dramatic improvement in the protection of the uninhibited freedom for Christians to preach the Gospel.
The Bill which will now become law will only allow someone to be prosecuted if:
1)the accused used threatening words or behaviour;
2)he intended to stir up religious hatred; and
3)the words or behaviour cannot be classed as an expression of criticism or dislike, or a discussion of, particular religions or the beliefs or practices of those religions.
It is now hard to envisage a case where a Christian, preaching from the word of God in good faith and from good motives, would fall foul of this legislation.
As you will know, from the very start of this campaign, we have opposed the idea of the Religious Hatred Bill in any form. However, it is our view as lawyers, that the Bill that has been passed has so many safeguards and protections built in, that it will represent almost no threat to Christians preaching the word of God. We would still prefer that the law was removed from the statute books, but the victory last night in the Commons was real, and allays almost all the fears which we have talked about over the past months.
Below is set out the list of Labour MPs who resisted the enormous pressure put on them by the government, and voted against their own party’s version of the Bill. The list can also be found at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4668266.stm. It would be great if after all the campaigning letters criticising the government’s approach and asking for MPs support, as many people as possible could write to or e-mail these MPs to thanks them for their crucial votes. It would be great to thank them for voting based on principle and based on the need to protect freedom of expression.
Equally, the BBC webpage given above contains a list of ALL the MPs who voted to oppose the government’s version of the Bill, so please, check how your local MP voted and write to thank them if they opposed the government’s version. It seems likely that every single Liberal Democrat and Conservative MP voted against the government’s version. Those two parties went to great lengths to ensure the MPs were there to oppose the government, and whatever motivated them to do that, we should thank them because, (again in human terms) if they had not been so staunch, the government would have won. Additionally, it was absolutely crucial to the victory that the SNP and (I believe) Plaid Cymru decided to vote against the Bill. Please thank those MPs as well.
God Bless all of you for your prayers and lobbying on this issue. Thankyou for all the encouraging and supportive e-mails you have sent as well. The media may not recognise it, but the victory is God’s. Praise the Lord.
Here is the list of the 21 Labour MPs who voted against their government in the second vote.

Ronnie Campbell, Blyth Valley
Colin Challen, Morley & Rothwell
Frank Cook, Stockton North

HEMEL HEMPSTEAD - LARGEST EVER FIRE
Thank God no one was killed. An accident or a warning that the Nation crossed a line and offended the Almighty? Some believe we are coming under judgement for departing from God's ways as a nation? We look down on God in our "wisdom" and then blame Him if things don't work out as we plan. If it's a warning then there's much to be concerned about. Recent government action seems hell bent of taking the nation down an untried road that may steal religious freedom and further increase licence to gamble, drink while presecuting those who hold traditional values in the name of tolerance.

From Michele Stewart
Helmel Hempstead
...I could not hear what the Lord was saying through the prophets, especially knowing in my heart that He had something to say. Today I was encouraged by stumbling across this site of UK prophecies with seeing reference made to Hemel. However although I am not a prophet I do along with the rest of the church hear snippets of what the Spirit is saying. The Lord gave me a dream about the church I worship in - the content spoke of a release of dreams - even those that appeared dead and even to those of us who have stumbled and lost our way. The Lord said that 2006 was a year for the release of dreams. The reason I am sending you this is because although I do not wish to negate what is being said about the Hemel fires as possibly being judgement (I am not in a position to say that is not one aspect of what is happening) I believe not only though my own witness but from the testimony of others that God interveined and this enormous miracle of no life lost was due to His hand of mercy. And this major attack of the enemy did not achieve its goal. Now I believe that God is launching His attack and it is by releasing His body, birthing dreams which originated in His heart and restoring Kingdom passion. This may well have come about by judgement and we may be at a crucial point in regards to that, but God is gently restoring His body, He does not want us to get swept away and we will be His instrument of life to our world - He will birth our dreams and our dreams will build His kingdom and the enemy wont stand a chance. Blessings

Parliament has legislated against every single one of the Ten Commandments, overturning the very laws of God which Her Majesty promised to maintain in her realm.
Deuteronomy 28 describes what happens to a nation which rebels against the laws of God. With 40 charts of social and economic indicators, Britain in Sin shows that the passing of unrighteous laws in the United Kingdom has had exactly the effect prophesied in the Word of God. The adverse trends, speaking invariably of human misery, have followed our nation rebellion from God. Britain today is deep in sin, and the judgment of God is falling.

Civil Partnership
From: www.globaltribe2000.net David and Carol
"So, Civil Partnerships are now law in Northern Ireland from 19th December,
Scotland 20th and England and Wales from the 21st. When Switzerland passed such primary legislation the country suffered massive floods. England is now suffering its worst peace-time disaster: the explosion of aviation fuel tanks in Hertfordshire. The thick clouds of dark acrid smoke stretches for tens of miles over south-east England, and can be seen for hundreds of miles. It was felt in our house at 06.03 on Sunday morning. Because of the extreme weather conditions the cloud of smoke cannot rise above 1000ft: it is trapped at that low altitude.
The experts are warning that it will eventually fall as soot and this will aggravate breathing conditions for those with respiratory problems. The experts are unable to predict what damage the chemical content of the aviation fuel will do to the environment but say it could cost the country
up to £500m.
The British Prime Minister has so far said and done nothing. Often he looks for political capital to be gained from incidents like this, but somehow it seems he cannot see anything he can gain from taking a leadership role -
therefore the nation feels bereft of leadership.
In scripture we see clearly that the Lord deals with those who He deems culpable: sometimes it's the leader, sometimes it's a group, sometimes
it's the whole nation that is judged. The effect of the UK Parliament passing this legislation will bring damaging consequences on all those responsible for its promotion, including those who lobbied for it and those who stand to gain financially from it, and the Church which has remained silent and not given a lead as it should have done in the eyes of God.
So how should we pray?
* Firstly, we must agree that this is a perversion of God's purpose for human relationships and confess that we are living in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, and ask for God's forgiveness because of
Jesus blood covenant.
* Secondly, we should ask the Lord to remove from power those who have abused the gift of leadership the He gave them. That they will
reflect on their actions and come to a place of repentance.
* Thirdly, we should pray for the victims of this iniquitous behaviour that they will come under conviction of sin and repent.
* Fourthly, pray for wisdom compassion and courage for the leaders whom God will call to replace the ones He removes.
* Fifthly, pray that the prophetic voice will be heard in the corridors of power and that it will be heeded.
* Sixthly, we should pray for those who are seeking to deal with this fire and its aftermath.
[Please note that God has compassion and love towards homosexuals as much as any other person and that many Christians today, are trapped in all kinds of adultery, pornography, abortion and that pointing a finger at this type of life-style alone will serve to harden the Pharisee hearts of those who fail to even try to live Holy lives before God. The danger in legislation is it sends a message that creates a respectability and removes any guilt of sin]
Orwellian Britain
Daily Mail, 12 December 2005
When the new Civil Partnership Act came into force last week, family values campaigner Lynette Burrows took part in a discussion on BBC Radio Five Live about its implications.
During the programme, Ms Burrows said she did not believe that homosexuals should be allowed to adopt. Placing boys with two homosexuals for adoption, she said, was as obvious a risk as placing a girl with two heterosexual men who offered themselves as parents.
To her astonishment, the following day she was contacted by the police who said a ‘homophobic incident’ had been reported against her.

Revelation about a flood in London
From Jeff Powell
Great Britain has become known as the United Kingdom, but which at this present time is showing herself to be characteristically far from united. Nationalism simmers underneath this multicultural state. Many of the political parties have had power on a minority vote of democracy and many of these parties in these passed few years have thrown out theocracy with its Godly morality. Many humanists hold key roles in these Islands and have sworn to bury God in the next few years, the only problem they have is that God won't be put down He is very much alive. There is a saying, you can't keep a good man down, more so with God, they thought that they had got rid of Him on the cross but He arose from the dead. As Father He has shown us that He loves and cares for those He has created, as the Son He has shown us that He loves and cares by dying in our place for the sinful nature we have been given and developed, and the Holy Spirit shows us His love and care by being here on earth to convict and counsel those who seek after a spiritual life which will impact their everyday life. England has clutched at her religious rags for long enough, many have wept and prayed and interceded over years and the Lord has heard their cry. Like the crashing of the stone in Nebuchadnezzar's dream on the feet, the Holy Spirit will break England's 'upper lip' of being in control even emotionally. The statute she has constructed with its foot of Cornwall and Devon will feel the impact of the stone not cut by man and a mighty breaking of dominance will spread from the foot to the heart of this land.
The breaking of heart will cause a turning to examining her behaviour towards those that are hers and repentance will gush forth from her people and a new day will dawn by restitution and a re-establishing of loyalty to God. Denominations will disappear and a communication through the Holy Spirit will be established and from house to house will come the knowing of the Lord.
Conclusion
These things will happen very soon and we should prepare ourselves as believers who have been the core of true disciples since Christ's time. Keep short accounts and deal where possible with the wrongs that have happened and become available to God for the work He has called us to do for His Kingdom.
Those who have been seeking Him and wanting genuine Church will find that there are others like them and will come together for the purpose of being Church.

Open up that I may open out
Some of you may remember the time earlier this year, when Big Ben stopped, and London Bridge refused to shut properly. These two events happened very close to one another. This was brought to my attention by Geoff who runs the Prophetic Anointing website (UK)
As he shared this I was given a vision. I was looking at the scene of London, looking down upon the Thames, from a high vantage point. I saw from the right, almost walking on the Thames, the Lord Jesus “arriving” as it were in His capital. Arriving at the seat of Government. He had an entourage and it looked like he might well have been on a Kingly barge. It reminded me of a barge procession Queen Cleopatra might have used to make her entrance, with her attendants in tow.
It was this aspect that caught my eye, the Lord Jesus, the King of all the earth, had his attendants attending.
A verse that came to mind was from Psalm 24. It was “Lift up your heads o ye gates, be lifted up you ancient doors that the King of Glory may come in (v7 and v9). I had the sense that he was entering his capital, to take his place amongst the many halls and residences of power. He was establishing this for Himself.
Somewhat later in the year, I was given a picture. I saw a pair of high double leafed doors, swinging open and outward. The doors were very high, perhaps 70 feet or so high, perhaps even higher. But the entrance was not as wide, compared to its height, making the doors looking quite slim. I saw that these doors shone, with the golden glory of God. Quickly I saw the scene from inside the building to which these opening doors were attached. I then saw that the doors were opening out onto the concourse, in front of the building. There were many people on the flat area before this building’s gates. The glory that shone out from the doors began to shine upon the people. The glory of the Lord upon the concourse of the peoples.
I then turned around, to look into the building and immediately I was given an immense sense of height and length and breadth to the internal dimensions of this building and towards the far end I saw the outline of a throne and someone sat upon it and was surrounded by many attendants. I could not see the detail clearly because the golden glory filled the place and covered the throne. But I knew that it was the Lord who sat on the throne, for I knew that this was His house, this was His temple. The Lord had come to the seat of his government, the set of his Throne.
I then heard the verse…do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God…the verse continues… you are not your own. It became clearer to me that the seat of government was not only the halls of power, but the Holy Temple, the Temple of His Church, His body, and he was taking up residence. To reign in his capital, within the centre of his home, to display the fullness of, His grace and glory with a citizenship he calls his own. To allow the brilliance of His glory to apprehend the concourse of the peoples…through shining out of the doors of his people.
Yes, He says, swing wide your gates, my people, open up your gates to me, that I may come in and reign and dwell with you, welcome me in, that you may reign and dwell with me, that I may display you as my people and you may display me as your King.
Later still, in fact about 2/3 weeks ago, he confirmed this. He took me to Ish.51:3…The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanks giving and the sound of singing.
And then to…2 Chronicles 29:3. In the first month of the first year of his reign, he opened the doors of the temple of the Lord and repaired them. He wants to repair and clean. Open up our doors and gates to Him, so that his glory may go forth and out and reflect truly how glorious he is.
V34 reads…The priests, however, were TOO FEW…He needs more of us to invite Him in, to work alongside him so that he may be glorified, within and without his temple….why…
V35 reads…So the SERVICE of the TEMPLE of the LORD was REESTABLISHED.
V36 reads…Hezekiah and ALL the people rejoiced (the King and ALL his subjects) at what God had brought about for his people, because…IT WAS DONE SO QUICKLY.
He wants to extend compassion to us, to transform us to make us A SIGN of his grace and mercy…a sign to the peoples of his goodness…he does not want our places to be a wilderness, an uninhabited land, waste places or destruction, but wants to reverse what is happening in the shaking within the natural…and speak compassion. He wants to create his Eden, the garden of the Lord within the hearts and soils of His people, to take for Himself His bride, to defend, cover and surround her…he wants his own to become tenders of his house and temple and its surrounding grounds, courts and lands…
He wants us to let Him in and allow Him to consecrate our hearts, to repair and open, to SWING WIDE the gates, to Him, so he can swing open Himself to us and to the multitudes of people. It’s not too late, but he’s willing even this late hour. Praise His wonderful name. AMEN, amen.

ENGLAND: Britons 'back Christian society'
BBC NEWS.UK
Many Muslims want to Britain to retain Christian values. Most Britons describe themselves as Christian despite not attending church regularly, a BBC survey has found.
The poll taken for BBC News 24's Faith Day examines how belief in religions is shaping British identity.
More than two-thirds of the 1,019 respondents said they were Christian, but only 17% regularly went to church.
Almost 75% of respondents said the UK should retain Christian values - including 69% of Jews, and nearly 50% of Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus.
A fifth of people polled say they feel less positive about Islam since the London bombings on 7 July.
More than a third said they had no understanding of Islam - but three-quarters said their views had not been changed by the suicide attacks.
BBC News 24 interviewed a representative sample of the population for Monday's day of programmes examining faith in modern Britain.
According to the poll, some 67% of those questioned described themselves as Christian - 59% of men and 75% of women.

Comment on prophetic words - Eddie Liley
I want to affirm a couple of the prophesies given in the last few weeks.
1) Great Britain Land Of End Time Destiny Wendy Alec. On 21st July while
watching the news about the failed bomb attacks on London the spirit
highlighted the poster on the number 26 bus - it advertised the Lion King
production. I felt God was saying that wicked men have attacked the Lion of
Judah and not prevailed. See attached picture. Bearing in mind that I have
not shared this with anyone, a friend gave us a copy of the lion king to
borrow last week!
2) The Throneroom - A prophetic word from Tim Cook. A month ago in my sleep
God told me to start an early morning ecumenical intercessory prayer group
in Coventry called "Launch Pad" because He wanted to use me to 'Reach for
the Heavens', which correlated with the last line of the prophesy.
May I suggest an additional comments/discussion page for your web site
because God commands his church to test (affirm or reject) prophetic words.
There have been many words on your site that have moved me deeply and others
that I have been uncomfortable in my spirit with, but you know the character
of the authors better than me.
Thanks for your obedience setting up this site. I pray that it's existance
will be more widely known and from it God will rise up intercessors,
prophets, evangelists and through these people God will move powerfully in
His church in the UK.
Blessings in Christ,
Eddie Liley.
