Prophecies January to May 2006
Chess Game Vision - Mark Flint
received 29th April 2006
added to site 22 May 2006
It started with a chess board and pieces coming into mind. This immediately captured my attention, as it does when God usually speaks profoundly to me.
I knew the chess game represented the church, and they were the white pieces. The black pieces were those of the enemy. Each side had started with the right quota of pieces: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Castles, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops and 8 pawns. The 8 pawns represented new Christians. The other pieces were members of the church body, who had specific roles and moved in certain directions. They had been trained to do so. The pieces in this game, however, were not inanimate objects, but could move, talk, fight, etc… The pieces, also, did not have to be captured by the enemy, but could stand and fight strategically. The trouble was, they didn’t know how to fight properly; that’s why the game currently looked hopeless for the whites.
The game looked quite hopeless for whites, as a lot of pieces had been taken by the enemy, who looked to be in control. There were just a few pieces left, along with the King. Black had lost a couple of pieces, but not many. It was then that I saw there was one person operating the ‘white game’ and that was a Pastor. Normally a game of chess is only played by two people; one on each side. This chess game was different though – there were meant to be five people in charge of the white side. These five were the five ministerial gifts to the church; pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle and prophet. The trouble being, that there was only one person controlling the game – the pastor. He was taking the responsibility for the five ministerial areas; he was doing the job of pastor, teacher, apostle, evangelist and prophet. He was getting really worn out and dejected at the state of the game – he just couldn’t keep it up – he was operating outside of his calling. This could have been for of one of three reasons. Firstly, the people looked to the pastor for everything – asking him to be something he isn’t. Secondly, there were none of the other ministerial gifts around, so he just did the job of the rest. Thirdly, the pastor was very proud, and although God’s anointed people were there, ready to be released, he would not release them as he wanted complete control. The pastor in charge may have not really been called to be a pastor, but one of the other four areas –only the position of pastor, is that of a recognized leader. So they have gone into the role of pastor instead of teacher for instance, which again, shows why some churches don’t feel ‘cared for.’
Now, I could see that each gifting had a specific role in the controlling of the game. The teacher’s responsibility was to train the pieces how to move in their own gifts. He would train the knights to jump, for instance, and the bishops to move diagonally. I could see him operate. He would call, to his attention, the Bishops, say, and instruct them. He would do the same to each set of pieces. He told the pawns that it was their job to make it to the other end of the board, and then God would release them to be something else; another piece, trained in their gifts. This is how the pieces knew how to flow in their own roles; the teacher taught them how to do so. The main pieces also helped protect the pawns.
The Evangelist’s job was to bring in new pawns. Unlike the real game of chess, this spiritual game had its own rules. Every time a piece was taken by the enemy, the rules stated that a new pawn could be introduced into the second line on the board. This new pawn’s job was to again make it to the other end of the board to be released into their own area of ministry. The trouble with the game at present, because there was no evangelist waiting to do this really important task, it was being neglected. Every now and then, the pastor in charge would realise this and introduce a new pawn, but it didn’t happen on the regular scale it was meant to, that’s why only a few pieces remained.
The prophet was able to see into the future, and note where the enemy was going to plan his next attack. He could also see where the white pieces should go to counteract this coming attack. He could see which pieces needed to work together in certain places, to advance the white ‘ territory.’ The prophet would sometimes see the next twenty moves, and would bring warning that it may not be the best course of action, and what the result would be. The prophet would bring these revelations to the other four ‘leaders’ who would then discuss and decide the course of action. The prophet himself always had to bring the revelations to be tested by the others, and would never start ordering pieces around on the back of his own visions.
The pastors job was to make the final decisions on where to move the pieces. He would be a lot more confident, having the other four around to validate these actions, but it would be his, ultimate choice, that made the move. His job was also to encourage the pieces to stay focused, and that when some looked down or worn out, his words would bring healing to the soul. They would become revitalized.
The apostle was over a number of games. I realised that all around, there were other chess games going on. In fact there were more than the eye could see. Each apostle would go around to the churches where his calling was, and bring wise counsel to the leaders. The apostles could dip into any of the other four ministerial gifts. They were able to see as the prophet did (but for the reason to bring agreement, not to take the prophet’s position), teach the people in short spells, bring on new pawns as the evangelist did and encourage the pieces as the pastor did. He would go around his churches to help out the other four, bring wise counsel and to bring words of agreement where there was confusion. He would also set up new chess games (churches).
This is how God wants things to operate. Too long now, we have rejected the fivefold ministerial gifts to the church, and replaced them with one pastor, who could never do it all on his own. We, as a generic church, have placed unreasonable demands on our pastors.
Some chess games were in a better state than others, but the one I saw represented the UK in general. We have neglected these important ministerial roles to our own peril and downfall.
A fireball of revival
God has shown me that a huge fireball will hit the UK.It seems like sometime very soon.A few years maybe more, maybe less and a number that no one can count will be saved. Ones that most if not all thought would or could never be saved.
Ken Engle - May 2006
Anointing on hidden believers in Britain
Grant Turner – 26 April 2006
'The Lord gave me an impression in my spirit of wet sand and gravel being sieved for gold, like an old mine prospector looking for gold amidst dull river sand and gravel. I felt the Lord say that He is sifting through His Church, through all the coldness and lukewarmness and is looking for the gold of those believers who have kept Jesus Christ consecrated as Lord in their hearts, whose passion for Jesus remains burning and undiminished, and have kept Him as their first love.
I felt the Spirit say these beloved ones have often felt isolated, hidden and unnoticed, even within many church fellowships, because of their zeal and passion for the Lord; they have been seen by many within the church as too radical and extreme in their love for Jesus, and in their single-minded devotion to seeking to do the will of the Father. These, I felt the Spirit say, are the ones that He will raise up to be the men and women faith that He will use to wake up the sleeping Body of Christ in Britain, to call the rest of the Body back into a renewed devotion to the Lord Jesus, stirring up the people of God to once more hunger and thirst for righteousness and holiness.
They will be the ones the Holy Spirit says He will use to challenge the spirit of lukewarmness and coldness that has infiltrated the Church. These precious devoted ones are the ones the Spirit is calling to become those He would use to prepare the Church in the UK for the new anointing of His power that He intends to pour on the Church.. They will be at the forefront of the new move of the Spirit, the ones the Spirit will raise up to be leaders that He will use to re-ignite the Church with the His fire, His love and His passion for the lost.
So fear not, I feel the Spirit would say, to those who have felt alone in their passion for the Lord and His ways, who have cried out before Him for His Spirit to move within the Church and the nation, For His Spirit to bring in a restoration of righteousness and holiness, and renewed passion for and fear of the Lord; to fill the Body of Christ here with His passion for the lost. The Spirit says your cry has heard in heaven, and the Lord will answer, and He is now asking you to used by Him to restore His Church in this land, to prepare it for the outpouring of holy power that He send through it to shake this nation and break the strongholds that enemy as placed on many lives.'
(Second related Word)
'The Holy Spirit has had an impression in my spirit over the last two weeks of a storm that is about to sweep over a darkened and dying land. It begins as the slightest of breezes bringing a wave of fresh air through the stagnant land, but rapidly the breeze grew into a gale blowing away the dead and rotting debris covering the land, while above the land a storm of lighting began blazing from the sky. The lighting began striking everywhere throughout the valley, creating a blazing inferno that soon engulfed the entire land and at first it seemed to burn everything up in it's consuming fire; however it became clear that instead it was merely burning up the dead waste that covered the land. Underneath was fresh ground, and in the fire the land began to blossom back to life, a clean and renewed land to replace the dead land that had been there before.
I felt the Holy Spirit indicate to me that the land represents the UK, and the storm represents the powerful manifestation of His power and Presence that He is about to manifest in this land through His Church. He will manifest His Presence quietly and slowly at first, clearing away the debris of dead traditions and complacency in the Church, re-awaking it. He will begin to show His Presence in unexpected places, among those who have kept themselves humble before the Lord. But soon it will be a mighty manifestation of His Presence and divine power that will shake that land, it's communities and people. It will destroy the unrighteousness and ungodliness that the enemy has infiltrated so many areas of this country, it will destroy the demonic strongholds that the devil has brought to trap many in our country and bring many out of the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son. Through the Church the Spirit says He will breathe life back into this land and restore it to a land that walks in the fear of the Lord, running back into the arms of the Good Shepard, to the glory of God the Father.
I feel the Spirit say that this reviving move of His Presence though will be a manifestation of His holiness and His righteousness, and His people is land must be prepared to walk in His holiness, devoting themselves to seeking first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, to be the holy people set apart for the Lord that they are called to be. Those who are prepared to respond to His call, the Spirit says He will renew and fill with His agape love, filling them with His power. Those who remain stiff-necked and refuse come out the world and its ways, remaining lukewarm and refuse His call will be sidelined and have no part in the move to come.'
Barking Seals
Jerry Bowers
On April 15th 2006 the Lord showed me a number of seals on the shores of the UK. One seal begin to bark. I had the sense he was hungry. As he barked, several others begin to bark until the entire group was barking. The Lord said to me, “Their Father above knows they are hungry. They are crying out to Him. He will send them a school of fish to satisfy their hunger. Let My people begin to cry out as the barking seal and tell the world of their hunger for spiritual awakening. Let them cry out in their dormant churches, their worldly work places, their family gatherings. One lone voice crying out in hunger will awaken others to join in. Let there be desperation gatherings where whole groups cry out in spiritual hunger. Let groups of students gather on campuses and cry out in desperation. Their Father in heaven will hear their barking. He will satisfy their hunger by pouring out His spirit upon them. Those who hunger and thirst after Me shall be satisfied. Be faithful where I have called you. Cry out and tell others of your desperation and spiritual hunger. Soon others will join you in a hungry cry of desperation. Let the cries go forth! Declare to others as did David, ‘My souls longs for Your courts, O God. As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after Thee’. Your Father in Heaven will hear your hunger cry. He will satisfy your hunger and the longing of your hearts after Him.”
Candle In the Wind
Musa Opiyo
20 April 2006
Recently I was reminded of the song that Elton John sang at Princess Diana's funeral Candle in the Wind. The idea of the song (at least what I got from it) was that she was a light that stood the test of a very tumultuous atmosphere that other people might have completely buckled over.
I was thinking about how a candle light would survive in the wind and how in the natural it sounds like a silly idea. It would not last 5 seconds.
Yet I heard the voice of the Lord say "My church in the UK is a 'candle in the wind.' You have stood the test of time, trial and every other wind that has blown your way. Satan has tried to stamp out and completely obliterate the light that has come from the church in this nation, yet my hand has protected and preserved you."
Something puzzled my spirit. Often when the Lord talk about the church being a light (Isaiah 60:1) or a fire, all symbols of great passion and revival. Why then would he use the symbol of a candle.
A candle in the wind is isolated. The only source of light and heat comes from the single wick. In many ways the church in the UK has felt isolated and forgotten from God's agenda. We often salivate at what God is doing in this nation or in that nation, but do we dare believe that he can move in this nation.
Many people have given up and stopped praying for the UK. What was once a great fire that burned in the UK has been in many ways reduced to a candle. Satan thought that from here onwards it was child's play.
But there is a remnant praying!
So he sent all kinds of winds. Money, secularism, abortion, bills restricting religious freedom,you name it.
Yet the candle has continued to burn. Frustration on satans part, determination and persistence on the part of Gods people who will choose to pray and align themselves to see as God sees.
The Lord says I have not forgotten the UK. Even now as you pray and join together, that which was a candle will glow brighter with intensity and purpose. Do not look at the wind of adversity that satan brings your way. As long as Peter's gaze was on Me he walked on the water and the wind and waves had no effect on him. Even so now look unto Me and step out walk towards Me and watch as that light grows with intensity and with my promise that all men would be drawn unto the light. What I do in this nation will be so unique that other nations will be astounded. You have been known as the sleeping giant but now I say unto you arise and shine. Do not despise what I do within your borders.
I am doing an unusual work in the UK and I am looking for unusual people who are ready to do unusual things. It is foolishness to think of a candle surviving in the wind, yet My wisdom is foolishness to men.
Candle in the Wind, shine forth says your God. I am about to shake this nation to the core so that all men would be drawn to the light that is in you.
Yes, you are my candle in the Wind

"UK - let the Holy Spirit be in charge"
Grant Turner
Today (4th April 2006) I felt the Lord showed me an impression in my spirit of an old man somewhat dishevelled and laden with baggage, bent over, walking on a stick for support, exhausted, tried, and fearful.
Seeking an interpretation of what I saw, I felt the Holy Spirit reveal that the old man is the state that the Body of Christ is in as a whole in the UK; laden and weighed down with the baggage of both the traditions of men rather then God's, and from relying on its own strength and wisdom having forgotten that it's strength is in the Lord and his empowering Spirit, and that this has aged and bent the Church double.
The stick represents the leaning of many believers on the revivals and moves of God of the past in this land. I felt the Holy Spirit say that parts of the Body of Christ here has become trapped in attempting to following a formula for revival from studying revivals of the past, but this has often led it to become focused in attempting to replicate exactly what happened in these earlier moves, but the Lord says that though the example of these godly servants of the past are important, providing shining examples of the devotion to the Lord and His will, and of the passion to see Him move and impact the lives of people and society as a whole that we believers all should have, this studying of past revivals has all too often become an attempt to follow the methods of past revivals rather than the attitudes of the those servants that the Lord used. The Holy Spirit impressed on me that He is the God of the living and the now, the Great I AM, He is creative, and He wishes to break apart the boxes we have attempted to put on His means of moving, and bring new things to pass.
Much of the Church has become fearful of new things, and has become ineffectual, but it is reluctant to let go of it's traditions that are not of Him, and let go of it's own reasoning and instead to step out in faith and focused commitment to His purposes, to be focused first on His Kingdom and His righteousness, waiting on Him for the guidance and empowering of His Spirit,
But I felt the Holy Spirit wants to remind us that He loves us, and wants to do something new in our midst, and is just waiting to move in new, creative ways to reach the lost and hurting souls that are all around our churches, but I feel He would tell us to be prepared to let go of our traditions and reliance on the past, and step out in faith and obedience to His Word with our eyes focused on Jesus, returning to our first love, with a single focused vision to reach the lost and hurting souls in this country for Him, and allow the Holy Spirit and not us to be in charge. I felt the Lord promise that He would raise us up and renew us, restoring strength to His Body in this land, and beauty back to his Church, and is just waiting to demonstrate through us His Body that He is the Living God, the one and only true Saviour to a dying world, and call in the lost that hurting and cold in the darkness, and bring them into his glorious light.
These are a few Scripture verses (the Good News version) that I feel the Spirit has urged me to link with this message:
Isaiah 55: My thoughts,' says the LORD. 'are not yours, and my ways are different from yours.
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.'
1 Corinthians 1:16 - 'As the scripture says,
'Who knows the mind of the Lord?
.'Who is able to give him advice?'
We, however, have the mind of Christ.'
Isaiah 40:28-31 - 'Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The LORD is the everlasting God; he created all the world. He never grows tried or weary. No one understands his thoughts.
He strengthens those who are weak and tired.
Even those who a young grow weak; young men can fall exhausted.
But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.
Isaiah 61: 3-4 - 'To give those who mourn in Zion joy and gladness instead of grief. A song of praise instead of sorrow. They will be like trees
That the LORD himself has planted.
They will do what is right.
And God will be praised for what he has done.
They will rebuild cities that have long been in ruins.
Isaiah 42: 9 (second half of the verse) - Now I will tell you of new things even before the begin to happen.
The Joy of the Cross
From Jerry Bowers
Pray California
On Sunday evening March 19, 2006 while in prayer the Lord brought me to a balcony over looking the U.K. As I looked out over the land, I could see a crusader riding through the UK on horseback carrying a crusader’s flag with a red cross. He was also carrying a sword. The Lord said to me, “The crusaders brought much bloodshed and burdens upon the people through their religion and wars.”
I then saw men and women carrying heavy crosses. They were weighted down under these crosses struggling to walk. Some had fallen under the weight of the burden. Their clothes were dirty and torn as if they had traveled a great distance. The Lord said to me, “My people are burdened down with the weight of man made religion and the cares of this world.” One standing next to the Lord began to sound a ram’s horn (shofar). The Lord handed it to me to blow, and I then handed it to another. In the distance, a glorious cross appeared above the people. It filled the sky. The cross was surrounded by glory. As the people of God beheld the glory shinning from the cross, they dropped their crosses and stood upright. Suddenly, their clothes were of white raiment and their cares and burdens were lifted.
The Lord then announced, “A new season of joy and celebration is coming.” He directed me to a passage of scripture concerning the joy of the cross. He said, “It was for the joy set before me that I endured the cross.” (Heb 12:2) I thought to myself, “What was
the joy set before Jesus that caused him to endure the cross?” This illumination came to me, “It was the joy of sharing His resurrected life with us and the freedom and joy that this brings to all who look to participating in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is the joy of dieing to sin and raising up in newness of life. It is the joy of turning from the cares of the world to the freedom of His grace. It is the joy that comes from leaving the past behind to walk in a new destiny with Christ.” It was the joy that was set before Christ that He endured the cross. What was this joy set before Him? It was that He might share His glorious resurrected life with His people!”
I noticed on the field that others were sounding a shofar (ram’s horn) and pointing to the glory radiating from the cross. The glory begin to spread across the UK. As it did a cheer rang out filled with joy, “We are redeemed by the Lamb of God!” The one watching who stood next to Christ who first blew the shofar said, “Sound the horn. Point them to the cross with the glory. Call them to behold the glory and to know His joy! This is a new season. A season of celebrating the glorious message of a risen savior. The cross is to be seen in a new light. Call upon the people to look up and behold the cross in a new light! They will see the glory! It is even now beginning to shine in the UK. A new freedom is coming.”
Further study:
The word “Joy” used in Hebrews 12:2 is Charis, Chairo, Chara (5479) which means gladness of heart, to rejoice, absolute freeness of the loving kindness of God, and entering into the free heartedness of the giver. It was used also as a salutation to command a wish for health and happiness. This joy is seen as a direct result of grace which leads to gladness of heart.
If Christ needed “The joy set before him” in order to endure the cross, (Heb 12:2) how much more do we, who would participate in His death, need this same joy set before us so that we can endure all things?” As we approach the Easter Season we can look up and see the cross in a new light! We can see.
GOD’S TUG BOAT IN THE UK
From Jerry Bowers
Pray California
“On Sunday, March 12 the Lord gave me a view from a balcony over looking the UK. I could see a Tug Boat coming up the channel. As I wondered about its meaning the Lord said to me, ‘I’m tugging their hearts to follow me. I know the way. I’m tugging their hearts.’ The smoke of the tug boat begin to cover the land drawing the people to the water. As they gathered to the water’s edge they could see signs and wonders pointing the way. The Lord said, ‘Have I not sent you a fish? I also sent you a ship to call you to pray. I’m tugging your hearts to seek me for revival. Fast and pray! Seek me while I may be found. Call solemn assemblies and cry out to the Lord of the Harvest and you will see the Harvest. You will see the harvest! I will come. I’m tugging your hears to seek after me!’
The Lord said to me, ‘Come to the cliffs of Dover and hear the cries of my people. You will hear their voices. For centuries they have called to me. Their cries have been heard. Let my people in this region cry out, and I will come. In the sea ports in Wales, there is the sound of the fog horn. I say to you a trumpet call to pray is going forth like a fog horn to clear the fog of sin and idolatry. Let the captains of prayer sound the call to prayer.’
The Lord said to me, ‘Come and see the clock tower of London. Its chimes are ringing. It’s time go pray. It is the mid-night hour. It’s time to pray in the break of every day for break-through. I will hear from heaven. I’m tugging their hearts. Now go sound the alarm and call forth the armies to pray. Tell them, ‘the Lord of the Harvest is tugging their hearts’.”

Prayers for London and the UK
release the nation from judgement
No major disasters for 5 years in Britain.
Tim Cook - Released March 2006
As discussed I've attempted to summarise more concisely my visions concerning this flood issue. I really want to share this word with the Christians who are getting scared.
Jesus looked at me gently and with some concern. He knew that I was worried for my nation, but also that many other christians were beginning to also get worried. "Tim - many are prophesying huge floods to your capital - but you must trust your heart and what you've seen. Yes of course there's a lot of sin in your land and your government. But I keep telling you that the repentant righteous intercessors have turned Britain away from this course of judgement, and that between you you have covered her! You have brought her 5 years of peace, and in that time there will be no major national disasters. Don't be afraid by the normal local flooding that is common to rivers. This is quite normal. How could I and the Father be deaf to the constant entreaties from your many broken hearts? We have heard you, and we love you, and we have such special plans for Britain, and here is our response to you. Please, you must speak this out, you must proclaim and forthtell it, and be specific. This is a time for clarity and comfort, not for fear. This is just a Kingdom update. Tell My children not to be afraid."
He reminded me of a time at the end of 2005, when He showed me the tap of floods headed our way. As me and my friends and the people prayed, He had me turn off this tap in the Spirit. There will be no large floods, and no mass judgement for 5 years. I can't compromise this vision in any way, but must speak it out with boldness.
(Site Editor's note: I was aware of Tim's vision back in February when many voices were saying that flooding in London was imminent)

Prophetic Declaration Over London - No flooding in the natural rather we are calling for a flood of the Spirit of God
Heather Butler
11 March 2006
Father, we know that the prophets have prophesied floods for London, and we know that they are reputable people of good standing, and we also know that when they speak its because they believe that you have shown them something that is about to happen and this is to warn. So lord we stand on the other side of those prophetic words and we declare in the name of Jesus that London will not be flooded by water but by the power of your Holy Spirit, that a tidal wave of your love your grace and your mercy will hit the land and break all the barriers of traditionalism religiousity, complacency apathy, and new agism down, and we take the keys to the kingdom of heaven and slam shut a door on the enemy. We raise up a door that is water tight that will keep the blessing in and keep the enemy out!
Father in your grace and mercy you have alerted us to the flood that the prophets said will come, and we know its because you want us to be a voice that will cry out for our land, and so it is lord, that we stand in the gap as a barrier against the enemy in the Thames, and we call forth the heavenly host to come and enable us to hold back the tide so that life will come into London once again, and death with be vanquished.
Lord thank you that all is not lost, that as we as a team, a family of Prophetic Anointing brought together by your hand, we declare as one voice in one accord that the flood will not hit London in the natural, but only in the Spirit of God Lord you heard the crys of the intercessors as they have fallen upon their faces before you calling out for you to save us, and those prayers have been as a sweet incense before you, and I know that you have heard. So lord, we look forward and step into the promises of God concerning London, and we call them forth. Lord London Bridge is falling down, because you are creating a new pathway of righteousness and holiness to walk upon in this place. In your precious name lord. Amen and amen.

Who will warn this nation?
Edward Liley 7 March 2006
I felt I should share this with you.
On 5th March (2 nights ago) God gave me a picture: In front of me I saw a bay with a beautiful sandy beach. At the far end of the bay some rocks went out into the sea and at the far end of the rocks sat a lighthouse. The sky was clear and blue. I then looked at the sea and it wasn't calm as I had expected but violent with large waves rolling in towards the land. I then asked the lord what the picture meant and he said "who will warn this nation?"
I felt that God was saying to the people of this nation that they think everything is calm and sunny but in reality their spiritual state is perilous and no-one is telling them of the consequences of ignoring God - God is calling the church to be a lighthouse to our nation.
The prophetic community are sensing that something calamitous is going to happen to the UK and I can concur with this. I believe it will be a severe economic downturn as our nation has stopped trusting God and put their trust in financial security and materialism. It is interesting that your recent prophetic word for London came from an Argentinian whose country enjoyed a period of revival which coincided with an econmic crisis after the Falklands war (Argentina was a prosperous country). This is distinctly possible with America on it's credit limit and energy resources running low.
God Bless,
Eddie
A word for Pastors & Priests
IN THE U.K
Jerry Bowers
Mar 02, 2006
I want to preface this word to clergy with this acknowledgment. I have been an ordained pastor for 21 years. I love and serve alongside other pastors. This word is a special call to clergy from God’s heart to see a great spiritual awakening led by the pastors and priests.
On the evening of February 28 while in prayer, the Lord showed me England (The U.K.) from a balcony over looking this nation. I saw a pack of barking dogs who were raising a great noise. The Lord said to me, “Many of my shepherds have become as barking dogs. They do not understand My words or speak with clean lips. I’m going to drop hot coals into the Churches. I’m going to touch the lips of my servants with coals from the altar. The people will tremble before My holy presence as did Isaiah who saw me high and lifted up. (Isaiah 6:1-8) My people will tremble as in the day they gathered at Mt. Sinai. (Exodus 19)
I saw an angel drop hot coals into the communion cup during a communion service at a church service. The water began to boil, and I could hear the sound of the hot coal touching the wine. I saw many church services where the pastors read Isaiah 6:1-8 before serving the communion cup. As the cup was being shared the names of God were being spoken out in the hearing of the congregation. As this took place, the “Fear of the Lord” fell on each church. I had a sense that the Lord is calling His people to gather to Him to restore them and speak to them as He did at Mt. Sinai – only this time the gathering place is communion. In the story of this gathering at Mt. Sinai, the people were to wash their clothes and be s anctified the day before. There was a special time of preparation for the priests and the people. (see Exodus 19:14, 22). I have a sense that the Lord is giving a call for a special communion service in the U.K. He will bless those pastors and priests who will seek His face and call the people before the Lord as shown. When the angel of the Lord touched Isaiah’s lips with a hot coal from the altar He announced, “Your sin is purged from you.” This visitation is for the purpose of restoring God’s people.
One of the greatest needs today for the Church is to rediscover the presence of God. Like the prophet Isaiah there is a great need for us to have a fres h encounter with God. Isaiah found himself standing in the presence of a holy God. He saw him high and lifted up in the temple. He saw the angels surrounding the holy throne and heard them cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory. And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. Then I said: ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.’ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said, ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away and your sin purged.’ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’ Then He said, go, tell this people .”(Isaiah 6:1-9)
Isaiah was to take his fresh encounter and go speak to the people about their own need to see God and have their sins purged. The spiritual leaders of the U.K. are being called to a time of sanctification. A time to seek the Lord in preparation for a visitation of God. If we new for certain that the creator of the universe was going to visit our church this coming week, would we not altar the normal order of things to welcome and prepare for his visit? The Lord of hosts is announcing His intentions to visit each congregation in the U.K who will prepare for His visit. Let us consecrate ourselves and seek his face. The Lord said one more thing to m e about His visitation at communion, “The people will tremble before My presence as they did at Mt. Sinai.” (Exodus 20:18-20)
Scriptures for study and meditation: Exodus Chapter 19 and Chapter 20:18-20, Isaiah 6:1-9

WARNING OVER LONDON
Flooding in March 2006
Victor Lorenzo - 21st February 2006
Seven years ago when I arrived in London from Argentina, my plane had to circle London whilst waiting to land at Heathrow. As we were circling God prompted me to prophesy over the city and the nation based on the Book of Nahum, calling Great Britain modern Assyria and London modern Nineveh, proclaiming his coming judgment over the nation and the city.
My first reaction to the word was to expect the City to be opened for the Gospel, to be conquered for the Kingdom of God. In particular I expected to see signs in the River Thames (its gates open) Nahum 1:7-8; 2:6 and the waters to break over the banks by the Square Mile. Over the years of having this word on my heart and declaring it as a warning and also as a sign of hope (Nahum 1:15) I have increasingly been convicted that this time of judgment is at hand. In mid 2003, whilst asking God for a sign over the City that would announce the fulfilment of his word, his response was that this would be the sign of Jonah (Luke 11:29-32).
On 20th January 2006, whilst in Prague, my wife Silvia called me to tell me about the whale that had swum through the Thames into the heart of the City. The Holy Spirit immediately prompted in me “the sign of Jonah”. I read Jonah and God told me to be notice the timing between Jonah being vomited from the whale and the days given for the judgment of God to be manifested in the city. So I counted from the time of the appearance of the whale (20 January) 40 days + 3 days (Jonah 2:10-3:4), which brings us to 1st-4th March. I am convinced that during this period there will be a clear sign from God - a small flood (the waters breaking the banks of the river) or a big flood (like the one announced in Nahum) - as the manifestation of the judgment of God.
On 3rd February I was at the International Christian Chambers of Commerce Trumpet Call gathering as one of the speakers, where I shared this word. While I was talking about the whale and what this means to me, one of the members of ICCC, quite agitated, asked me if he could share something. He had been doubtful about doing this, but as he listened to what I was saying he was urged by the Spirit to speak out. He shared that five years earlier he received a vision that he shared with his congregation and with some friends, but which had not been fully accepted. The vision was about a big flood affecting the City of London, and that the sign of it coming would be the appearance of a whale in the River Thames.
Over recent years there has been an increasing sense of judgment over London in different groups of prophetic gatherings. In the group I’m involved with we feel that at this stage the impending judgment is not avoidable but that its effects can be contained. That is like being between Jonah and Nahum. The intention of this e-mail is to give warning, to warn you of the time in which we are living and to call you to watch for the signs of confirmation. Please judge this word and ask the Holy Spirit to confirm or correct it. If I’m wrong and nothing happens I will repent and be silent for a while and make myself open to discipline. If it is confirmed, I’m ready to move and work with you to see London and this nation converted by love and mercy for the Kingdom of God.
The events that will happen in London this year will break the seals of control over the marketplace, will break the governance and grip of the Corporation of London over the City and produce a dramatic shift in the country and the marketplace all around the world, with a massive transfer of wealth.
The following are signs and events that relate to this word :
1. The day’s readings in the International Lectionary, used by Anglicans and Catholics for Sunday 22nd January (two days after the whale appeared in the Thames) was Jonah 3:1-5; 10
1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you."
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an )exceedingly great city, a three days' walk.
4 Then Jonah began to go through the city one day's walk; and he )cried out and said, "Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown."
5 Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them.
10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.
2.Increasing warning of floods over London; Thames Barrier alarms
3. Scientific predictions
4. Tides for March - One of the highest tides of the year is March 1st, which will cause the water to run fast for three days afterwards
5. Whales’ appearing in other parts of the world (Australia, New Zealand, other parts of Great Britain etc.) at the same time.
Note – whilst this view of events is shared by a number of prophets in the nation, I wish to make it clear that I am taking responsibility for naming the projected timing of 1st-4th March.

The Vision of a Spiritual Rock
Jerry Bowers, Pray California - February 2006
While in prayer the Lord showed me a rock which was spewing forth living water. It was like the rock in the desert that God told Moses to speak to and it would give forth water to save the people from dieing of thirst. This rock was located at Horeb which means “desolate or dry place.” (Num 20:7-13/Exodus 17). Paul speaks of this rock as following them through the wilderness. (I Cor. 10:4).
The Lord showed me this rock and He showed me the spiritual drought in the UK. He told me to speak to the rock to turn it towards England. It began to turn and stopped. I asked why the rock with the living water could not enter the UK? He told me that the “Political Correctness stronghold” is hindering it. I had a sense that it will take prayer from those who have political authority along with the people to invite Christ to send the living water. In the wilderness God used Moses as the leader to speak to the rock because He had authority. Moses and Aaron along with the people had to gather together before the rock. There is a need for Christians in political office to join the people of prayer to ask Christ to pour out living water on the UK. He is waiting to send it. He is waiting for us to collectively speak to the “Rock of Horeb” in the UK so He can release living water.
Corporate Prayer:
“Lord, I join others in the UK who are thirsty to see the living waters of spiritual revival visit this land. We recognize that like the children of Israel long ago we are living in Mt. Horeb in a dry and spiritually desolate place. We speak to the rock that you would send to England and the UK in faith asking you to release new life into this nation. We hunger and thirst, Jesus, for your life to be imparted to us anew! Come and quench our thirst and fill us with your life. Lord Jesus, we recognize without your life our nation will perish. You are the way, the truth, and the life. We renounce the agreements we have made with other gods. We renounce the worship of other gods and turn to you in this desolate place seeking true restoration. We lift our voices with others across this nation to declare that Jesus Christ, who is the creator of heaven and earth, is the one and only true savior of the world. He is the life giver and savior of all mankind. We join King James 1st who uplifted the holy scriptures by putting them into our language in declaring the Word of God as our source of truth and light. It is in agreement with this holy Word that we renew covenant faith with Christ Jesus and invite Him to restore this nation in accordance with His New Testament promise in Hebrews 8:10-12.”

Defeating the Giant Goliath in the UK
Jerry Bowers, Pray California
The Lord showed me in prayer a "Goliath Giant" over the UK. Its head is in Cornwall. The word for Goliath in the Hebrew "Galah" has to do with putting captives on display usually in the nude. It means to uncover or publish in a disgraceful manner. Goliath was publically disgracing God's people on the battlefield in I Samuel 17. Strongs Concordance #1540
I ask the Lord about what this Giant represents? He told me that it stands for Idolatry which blasphems His name. The head of this giant is in Cornwall. He told me that there are 5 Stones he is giving us to slay the Giant with from His Word. He gave me the first stone that I am now releasing to you. I have the sense that this stone is being spoken to both the Giant and the Churches of your nation. The Giant has lived to taunt the Church like it did in biblical times because the people of God would not raise up and face it until a shephered boy named David came and took up for the Lord to defend His name.
Here is the first stone God releases to us to use as a proclamation to defeat this Giant, "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourselves any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down to the nor seve them. For I, the Lord you God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those those who love Me and keep My commandments." Exodus 20:3-6
It occurs to me that when David came against Goliath he advanced with Proclamations. See I Samuel 17:45-51
"Father, I advance with other leaders this day in the UK against the Goliath you have revealed and exposed. I proclaim this day that your people in the UK will draw near to the battlefield to see this giant defeated. We address this giant in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Creator of Heaven and Earth! You have come against the people of God with a sword in times passed and caused the shedding of innocent blood upon our lands. But we come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into the hand of the praying people who stand with the believers in the UK. The word of the Lord will strike you and take your head off and put you on display. It will expose you before men that all the world may know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle if the Lord's and He will give you into our hands. We call to the Church of the UK across the ocean. We proclaim a calling forth of the church to raise up in the strength and the might of the King of Kings who is Christ Jesus. Stop trembling before this Giant and rise up against it! Shout to the Lord as in the day of battle and come against this gaint. Declare with us 'We will no longer tolerate this false god. We will not bow down and serve other gods in this nation. We will expose and call idolatry for what it is! We repent for serving other gods and turn to the one and only true God. We ask for His mercy and the in dwelling power of the Holy Spirit that we might serve Him and keep His Commandments. We reject the false Gods that have invaded our nation and declare that the Lord of Host who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is our God and defender. He will deliver us from the hand of Goliath!' We now release this stone of truth against this Giant in Jesus Name. Amen!"
The story goes on to tell us that when the stone hit its mark, "The men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron and the Philistines fell..." (verse 52).
Let us arise this day and shout to the Lord! He is the Lord of Hosts who goes before us. He is mighty in battle. His truth and word goes before us. He will slay His enemies and triumph over them and establish His name in the UK. His Church will show its self mighty in truth, glorious in righteousness, and great victory will come forth! We release this stone of truth against the giant of Idolatry in this nation in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen!

The Whale in the River Thames - London
A Sign to the Nation
January 21, 2006
See the sign coming into your City of London.
See the sign to the City.
See the creature that I sent to deliver my prophetic messenger.
See the sign of my messenger declared over your nation.
I am sending evangelists and am raising up voices, and am causing the shift towards the Kingdom of my Son over your land.
The experts gather to ask what are we going to do to rescue the whale, but My call is to this nation, what shall you do with My son?
How will you respond to His call on your nation?
As Jonah went proclaiming destruction on the wicked City, My call is return to your destiny, the calling upon your land. And remember saints long ago prevailed and turned the nation.
But no man can turn my purposes and call.
I will raise up Jonah’s in your land and cause the city to bow to my throne,
and choose to serve My purposes.
For the Kingdom of My Son shall reign over this land.

"Where can I run from your presence?"
Tim Cook 24th January 2006
My Jonahs ..... I love you and I hug you ... and I whisper to you that you shall not run, you shall not run. Already are you blessing your Ninevahs. Look - I find a passing whale and send her to sacrifice right on the doorstep of your capital. Can you now be encouraged - have I got your attention? Oh this is for you my beautiful Jonahs. Your feet are beautiful as they bring good news. Thankyou for feeling sad for my whale Britain - this is a tender place in your nations heart - a good and innocent thing. For I called her from the oceans - I called her in - I sung her in - and gave her to you, Jonah. My scared, and trembling, and struggling Jonah prophets - the young at heart. This is for you - for you are safe in my mighty hands - I have you - in the centre of my will - and you know that there is nowhere to run from my presence. You shall not hide and run this year, but I will pour my gentle boldness upon you - and such love, such love - that you will find the strength to minister - and speak to the lost - and to soldier on. You who were about to fall, and planning how to walk away with your head lowered in defeat? I shortcut you into unexpected victories - and dance a victory dance over you. You who were planning to be swallowed up in the depths and in the fish? Well - here is your whale .... you don't need it. She gives herself up - saying I will take you down no more. You see - I won't let you down. My love sustains you. It will surround you like your cloak. For you - there is no whale. Jonah needs no detours, no escapes, no whale.

More Prophetic Insight on the Whale
Heather Butler
Whales sing, and they call, and they cross the oceans to find each other, and now I'm crying because this is revelation to me as I type, you have heard the cry of our hearts, the lord has sent you out to find that sound, and to sing to us that song of the lord, he has brought you out of the depths and into a place where you are exposed and its dangerous, but you have died to self to enable us to have life in this nation.
oh lord thank you thank you for that picture of your faithfulness to us to send messengers into this place across the oceans and into the shallows of our lives as we seek you in this land. Hallelujah lord!
ok, here are the word I was given and the meanings. I didnt know before hand what I would find, but it speaks for itself. We are looking at the meaning of the Whale.
1. Yam
2. ata
3. leveth
1 = large body of water, the mediteranean or LARGE RIVER
2 = Close up - shut up
3 = abide with, cleave to, unite, adhesion, join to.
The Whale came from the sea into the large river, it was shut up closed in there, if you look at the word to jerry about the whale a picture of cleaving to us, uniting joining with us.
I asked for a bible passage, I got page 1010 which is Isaiah 8 from verses 6 - 18 in this passage you will see the flood that other prophetic words speaks of, and it looks very bleak, but read on and you will see that this is not to be feared, that the lord is with them.
I believe that there are righteous people in the land and across the waters that have raised a standard in this nation and the lord has heard that voice.

2006 England - Marc A. Dupont
The Vision of the Rake, the Garden, and the River in England
Last year, the Lord gave me a vision several times of a huge rake moving over the soil of the church of England. The church represented not just ³the Church of England² denomination, but also rather the whole of the Body of Christ that makes up the true church.
There were three significant things taking place in the vision; First was this huge rake in the hands of the Lord. It was big enough, strong enough, and sharp enough to cut through both rocky soil and hard dry soil.
The words of the Lord were being spoken by God ³Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you², from Hosea 10.12². Of note: both Hosea 10.12, and Jeremiah 4.3 which speak of breaking up the fallow ground are an invitation to break up ³your fallow ground². This breaking up of the fallow ground in the vision was both a sovereign thing the Lord was doing and an invitation to Christians and Christian leaders to choose to do so!
The Lord says He is going to give both fresh opportunities and fresh strategies to many to begin to reach out to their neighborhoods, communities, and work places. The Lord says no longer say it is not yet time for revival because the Lord says the harvest fields are ripe right now. God has allowed an incredible hunger to come to England for the true fruit of life. The Lord is saying My Spirit is moving over your nation far more than you are aware of. Even though you see spiritual chaos through out your land, so it was at the time My Spirit was hovering over the waters prior to the 7 days of creation and from that I brought forth a beautiful garden teaming with life. So I intend to do now in those places where My people and leaders will hear and obey My voice. I will anoint the least of you who goes forth in My Spirit with an evangelist¹s anointing to call out the prisoners from the dungeons. I will anoint the least the least of you with My power to heal blind eyes and lame legs. I will give you fresh strategies and creativity, but know this: it will not be by might, power, or eloquence- it will be by My Spirit that this fruitful garden is established.
The second thing I saw was a sparse orchard of fruit trees. Not only were most of the trees failing to bear abundant fruit, but also there were huge gaps between the trees of barren earth rather than the order and beauty of a garden. The Lord said you have tried and tired of trying to come together for programs and agendas. Now I am calling you to come together in koinonia based on vision of Me, rather than a vision for your personal program, or gain. If you will learn to establish relationship with other leaders out of a preference for your brother, or sister, I will honor that and bring you to a place of commanded blessing. Just as I did not choose you because I need you, so I want you to learn to choose one another out of love. If, indeed, you will begin to bridge the gap between the fruit trees I will cause there to be new growth simply because I will command it out of My pleasure.
The third thing I saw in the vision was a deep, powerful, cascading river flowing though the mist of the orchard. You have been saying, ³When will the rains of heaven begin to flow again². Yet I say to you that I have, indeed, released a mighty river of My Spirit for over 12 years now that is flowing with great power. You say, ³Where are the manifestations and excitement about the river that we used to see². But I say the river has gone from a narrow, rushing, noisy river to a very deep, river that cannot be damed, or diverted. When I first poured out the river there were those who tried to divert it for their own gain and prominence. Now, however, just as I hear the cries of the intercessors that have prayed in private, so I have been guarding and protecting the flow of My Spirit. Just as there was excitement and proclamation when the baby Messiah was born, there was also quiet and secrecy when, out of necessity, the child was taken to Egypt. But do not be mistaken. The outpouring of My Spirit has not been wasted. Even though the soil of England needs to be turned over there is a moisture in the land that will readily receive the seeds of the gospel. The land is ready to be freed from the rocks of selfishness and abstinence. The water of this river both will overflow the banks, but, as well, it will go deep under the surface of the soil and reach those trees who roots are nurtured on Me and one another. I am looking for those leaders in the body of Christ at this time who have been embracing My pruning. My word to you all is ³You shall, most definitely bear greater fruit for My Glory and by My Spirit² Look to those who seem to be both empty of fruit and empty of self and love My Name. I am taking the least of My Sons and Daughters and filling them again with My power, counsel, and wisdom, and they shall, indeed, be called the peacemakers²!
Of note: one of the words and pictures the Lord has given me for 2006 is out of Psalm 1, verses 2-3, which read ³But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
As well: the Lord did not specifically indicate so in the message, but I know that the Leaders He was speaking of were both leaders of the church and Christian leaders He has positioned in neighborhoods, work places, and schools. There are about to arise all sorts of Kingdom leaders who may, or may not, have any governmental role in the structured church!

Word For United Kingdom - Small fires will link
5th January, 2006
Lanna Perry
warriorchosenministries@yahoo.com.au
http://www.ourchurch.com/member/h/hisprincess/
This word is based on the Scripture James 5:16 -
“The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective’
When interceding for the United Kingdom, the Lord brought a picture to my heart of a field of bright coloured flowers, with every colour, shape and form you could ever imagine. The aroma was strong and thick and stretched out all over the world. This was a garden of great beauty, one that would draw many from all over the world to, to appreciate it’s magnificence and beauty.
This I believe was the Lord’s heart for the United Kingdom. The Lord longs to build the United Kingdom into a place of beauty, of creativity, growth and righteousness. The Lord longs to pour out His presence in greater ways over the United Kingdom, so that His aroma may rest upon it so strongly, that many may be attracted from all over the world, to the magnificence of His presence. This is the Lord’s heart that I believe will eventuate if the call to the people of God is taken up.
Through the faithful prayers of many intercessors and children of God throughout the United Kingdom and the world, I see green shoots of life beginning to rise up, sparsely in different areas. Where there has been no life in the past, through the prayers of the saints, the life of God is beginning to shoot up in different places. The first signs of life.
I believe the Lord is encouraging the children of God and intercessors to continue in their intercession for this nation.
As I continued to enquire of the Lord for this nation, I heard the words “the eagle has landed”. I believe some have stopped pressing through in intercession and warfare for the United Kingdom because they have become weary of seeing no results, seeing evil rise up and they hear silence in the heavens. I believe the Lord is saying to continue to go forward in your warfare and intercession.
Do not stop. As an eagle rises up high above the storms, the Lord is calling His children within the United Kingdom and the world, to not land. Do not land, but fly higher than the storms in His presence, continue to move forward in your prayers and intercession.
I have also seen scales, and heard the words ‘the scales are beginning to lean towards justice, faithful intercession will tip the scales even more in the direction of the Lord’.
As the people of God pray into the very heart of God for the United Kingdom, God will move and His righteousness will come upon the United Kingdom, and slowly control will begin to lessen.
I believe the Lord wants to encourage the church of the United Kingdom ‘remember that the dark always comes before the dawn’.
I believe breakthrough will come to the United Kingdom, but it will not come in the way many are expecting.
I have seen the map of the United Kingdom and very small fires of God being started in many small places. Many are expecting a great huge fire of God to fall onto the United Kingdom and a huge revival to start. I do not disagree that revival will come to the United Kingdom, but I see it starting in a way many do not expect.
As these small fires are ignited throughout the United Kingdom, I see them being started in many places and they end up covering all corners of the nation. As all these small fires are lit by the Lord, eventually these many small fires will be so strong and unite together with others that the nation will blaze.
These fires will be ushered in by the people of God continually holding onto the
