Word for Britain - Opportunity in the midst of disaster
Clifford Hill 11/11/2008
This is the word that I was given when speaking in Christ Church Jerusalem at the morning service on Sunday 2 November 2008. I spoke some of it to the congregation saying that God was shaking the nations in order to work out his purposes. I then remained in the church after morning service to record the words that specifically referred to Britain.
This is what the Lord God Almighty says to Britain; He who created the heavens and the earth and set nations in their places; I have watched over you throughout the centuries, prospering you and blessing you in times of distress, and protecting you in times of trouble when your enemies threatened to overwhelm you. But you are part of a generation that has despised your heritage and has turned away from my word, determined to go your own way. I have spoken to you again and again but you have not listened nor paid attention to my word.
In the 1960s when you were still rejoicing in the deliverance of your land from the threat of Nazi oppression you began misusing your freedom for self-interest and self-indulgence that would inevitably lead to strains and stresses in family life, the breakdown of marriage, and the neglect and abuse of children. I sent among you those whose eyes were open to perceive the danger but you did not listen or pay attention to the warnings I sent.
In the I970s you passed laws that were contrary to my word. You made divorce easy; and you so despised the precious gift of life that you began to fill the land with the shedding of innocent blood which is an abomination to me. As the followers of the god Molech sacrificed their children in the fire in the time of Jeremiah so you have incinerated your children - the little ones that were precious to me.
Since then you have removed restrictions upon the glorification of sex and violence in all forms of the media that has corrupted the young and spread wickedness and encouraged ungodly practices throughout the land. I have raised up voices among you warning of the consequences of your actions but you have not listened or paid attention.
You have taken discipline out of your schools, encouraging children to be free-thinkers without giving them clear guidance or setting standards that promote health and well-being. In your schools you have taught children sexual practices, telling them that they can do anything they wish so long as they feel comfortable and are not coerced. Then you wonder why so many of your teenage girls become pregnant and why your young people are afflicted with sexually transmitted infections. I sent prophets among your educationalists to warn you of the consequences of your policies but you did not listen or pay attention to the warnings I sent.
You have opened the door to people of many lands and races to come among you but you have not taken notice of my word. I said, welcome the stranger and the alien but do not allow them to establish spiritual strongholds among you that will turn you from the worship of the One True God whom you have known throughout many centuries revealed through Jesus your Lord and Saviour. But you have given encouragement to the worship of other gods whom your forefathers have not known and you have failed to teach your children all that I have done for you in past generations. You have created insecurity and confusion in the lives of young people, failing to give them standards that will guide them and hope to direct their steps.
Your churches have not built bridges with the strangers among you, neither have they declared my word of truth or shown my love and compassion to the alien and the refugee to bring them into a true knowledge of God. The prophetic voices in the church have not been honoured so my word has not reached the nation and although I have poured out my Spirit time after time you have not used my gifts to empower my people to turn the nation from the ways that lead to destruction to the way of life and health and prosperity.
Now I am shaking, not only your nation, but all nations by exposing the greed, avarice and self-indulgence in your financial systems that are abhorrent to me. But when my judgments are in the world the people are open to learn the ways of righteousness. This is a day of opportunity in the midst of what you regard as disaster; for I am the one who brings life out of death, who brings a word of hope in the midst of despair, who turns weakness into strength and poverty into prosperity.
If you will but listen to me now and heed the word I have already sent to you through the prophets of old, then you will see light shining through the darkness and the transformation of your land through the power of my Spirit.
Rise up men and women of God, you who know my word! Lift up your heads and see that the fields are ripe for harvest! I will empower you to reap a mighty harvest for the Kingdom.
This is a day of joy, and not of despair. This is not a time for the fainthearted but for men and women of valour to do mighty deeds through the power of the Holy Spirit. You have been called into the Kingdom for such a time as this. Now is the time to go. You will not walk alone for I will be with you.
***********************************
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land (2 Chron 7.14).
If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on ft the disaster I had planned (Jeremiah 18. 7).

PREPARE!
October 2008 from Lizzie Manley
You, my Church are the custodians of this land. I have given you the keys to unlock this nation from it's bondage. This is a great responsibility as well as a great joy.
NOW is the time to prepare. NOW is the time, like Noah, to listen to my voice , even though England is unaware of the great trauma that is ahead. NOW is the time to plan.
How is My Church going to save the widows and orphans, the elderly and infirm. How will you put to work the hands of the unemployed and feed the refugee?
I am poised to glorify Myself through My Church in this land. I am ready to do great wonders and miracles through My People. The high of this nation are going to be brought low. My Church will become the rock onto which people cling in the storm. I will be among you; My Presence will be strong. Those who consider themselves the lowest of the low, Like Gideon, will achieve great things through Me.
You MUST prepare, do not be caught unaware. The judgement I am sending upon this country will be lessened because of you. Though you, I am in answering the prayers of those who have gone before. Do not lie idle or you will not see my power. Fast and pray, seek My face. Prepare and plan.
What are you going to do for the broken hearted, the children, the fatherless? How are you going to feed the hungry and clothe those who are naked?
When all is crumbling away, the people of this land will see My Church is still solid, and still faithful to Me. My Name will be glorified, My Holy Spirit will be let loose to work in the hearts of millions.
But time is slipping away, My Church. You must understand this is no word to cheer you up. Now is the time for urgent action, there is not long before the storm will hit and I don not want My People to be found wanting. Start looking outwards form your base. I will reveal the needs of your communities and you will meet those needs in My Strength. I will not abandon you in this time of trial. I will not leave you without resources.
The time is coming when there will the nothing to rely upon but Me. George Muller understood this. Did I leave My Children to wonder in the desert for 40 years without feeding them? You are My Children keep your eyes fixed upon Me.
The challenges I am sending you are hard, but I will give you strength and you will shine out in the darkness that is to fall, as beacons of hope. Those who are lost will come to you.
You must work alongside those of my people who worship in different buildings. Pool your resources, share your skills and knowledge. Do not let historic differences come between you, for this will hinder you in meeting the needs of the suffering. For I am the God of the poor and the lowly, and you will need to be united to meet their needs.
Leaders, I have bestowed upon you skills and knowledge, I will send you my people to carry out my will and the finances to do so. The work is not just yours, many hands are needed to carry out the work you all have to do. I will provide. I will not see My Children put to shame when they are eager to do My Will. You will see how I will provide and be amazed!
Now is the time to get ready, like a soldier going into battle, an army going to war. Have everything to hand so that when the enemy strikes you are not crushed. I am and will be all that you need. Seek after my wisdom, bring to Me your requests and I will answer them beyond your wildest imaginings.
Economic prophecy ... Bank collapse and travel company bust"
PROPHETIC WORD OF SHARON STONE
Many of you will know Sharon from Christian International Europe- she is an amazing one of a kind prophet. Her gifting is exceptional. Below is an email she's just sent out including a word she gave regarding the economic system. The events she saw have come to pass exactly like she said. Read below for the full details. God is bringing His people into alignment with heaven in the area of money and addressing issues of injustice in the world. His glory will invade the earth and that includes the realm of finances and how wealth is used and distributed. A new standard of creative management is going to come from the church. God is using these waves in the economy to bring us into destiny if we respond correctly. I believe there are stronger waves to come towards the middle of the next decade with even greater impacts. These ae uncertain times for many, but for the church it will be glorious. Here's the word... "SEPTEMBER WILL CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU MUST CONNECT TO HIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM"
Just hours ago we received this e-mail from a lady who attended a meeting at which I spoke this summer. The dramatic events that have unfolded this week in the US and within the past 24 hours here in the UK resonate with the truth God spoke through this word. I want to share this with you in light of these events as an encouragement that the Lord is faithful to His Word and He has made both provision and a way.
Blessings in Christ, Dr. Sharon Stone

Dear Sharon and Greg,
I thought you might be interested in seeing this prophesy you gave in Glasgow this summer. While I was in prayer this morning God reminded me that I scribed this on the Sunday morning you were with us. I don't know how much you keep up on world news but there is a freight train fire in the Chunnel right now. And on the 29th of August Sarah Palin was introduced as John McCain's vice presidential running mate from Alaska. Also XL Airlines has just halted its flights because it could not find a lender and people on holiday are stranded all over. Last week the UK government cancelled council taxes for the purchase of homes under 200,000 pounds for a year. Isn't God amazing!
Prophecy given by Dr. Sharon Stone, Glasgow, Summer, 2008
"September is a turning point and a sign of the times. It is all about those who have made Godly alignments in this season being blessed with revelation and information in the midst of world crisis.
"I see more banks will suffer: a USA world bank's shares are in trouble - I see government in the USA bailing out mortgage giants and the government in England cutting house purchase taxes for the sagging housing crisis, to no avail. I see a European airline failing with no notice. I see the eyes of the world looking to see, 'who is this coming out of Alaska?' And I see smoke coming from the Chunnel.
"As I see these things I hear the encouragement of God to His Isaacs in the earth who sow in the times of famine and reap 100 fold in the year. I'm not a prosperity preacher, I'm a prophet. And God is saying that September will convince you that you must connect to His economic system. There are always the few that are greatly blessed when the majority are shaken, threatened and fearful.
"God says, 'Have you positioned yourself for THE NEW? Your storehouse is not an earthly bank. Hold on and I will bail you out of your mortgage issues. Am I not better to you than any government? I will not leave you stranded on foreign soil, and I will carry you above the circumstances better than any plane or jet. And your hope is not an Alaskan saviour, but Me.' I know that sounds strange, it does to me also.
"England, the smoke I saw coming out of the Chunnel is a warning for your intercessors to arise and cut off the enemy's plan to sabotage and siege England's favour in trade. Let him who has ears hear.
"God I release an Isaac anointing upon us now!"

This next move of the Spirit ... only God will get the glory
Intercessor Steve Porter August 2008
It is a real honor to pray ... You asked what I see coming for Great Britain.
I have studied the Welsh revival of 1904.I believe an even greater revival is coming to all of Great Britain . I believe the United Kingdom will see the promise of His coming presence. This fresh move of the Spirit will be birthed through prayer and fasting. A Spirit of humility will usher in this move of the Spirit.. Many faceless warriors will push this move of God through in the Spirit realm. This next move of the Spirit will come through vessels that embrace meekness and dependency. A revival of meekness.. They will lean on their Beloved. Only God will get the glory, not a man or group. I see the Lord moving through the back streets of London, among the people that have never seen God. This will be a sign and wonder to all of the UK. Even so Lord COME!
Bless You, Steve Porter http://www.steveporter.us
A Word for England
By Chad Taylor Originally 25 Aug 2000 - Looks like this word is unfolding Republished July 2008 From the ground of this place will come a river. Like Jacob's well there will come a river. From this place the fountains of the deep will be broken up. From this place a revival will be initiated. I see the youth gathering as well. A great army of youth mobilized in the days ahead. A great shaking will take place amongst these youth. I see a group of youth participating in this upcoming event. They stand in proxy for a generation.
For I will move from this place says the Lord as a rushing mighty wind. And the dry bones shall rattle and move. For from this place will come a mighty wind that will stir the dry bones of revival in England. For in this hour says the Lord, I will bring the bones together, and this great army will march again. The influence of this wind will be felt from the villages to the parliament. Every eye will see and every knee will bow says the Lord.
I see a fire. A fire of revival sweeping the hi-ways and bi-ways of England. A great revival of prayer and devotion to the Most High God. They are meeting in barns and mansions seeking the face of God. Seeking the heart of the Father for a generation. Reconciliation between two groups.
Two religious groups. A great reconciliation and reformation in their thinking and approach to one another. Like Jacob and Esau, a great reconciliation is in the land. Dignitaries from each group will stand with one another in one accord, in one accord for a generation.
Prophesy to the wind then says the Lord! Prophesy to the wind of My Spirit and see if I will not answer you with the first and latter rain! See if I will not stir the waters and the lame will walk and the blind will see. See if I will not answer with fire and burn up the high ground and the idols that sit there. See if I will not provoke an army of youth to march your streets with revival fires in their mouth. See if I will not do all this and more says the Lord!

I initially saw a tornado moving through a desert. It was moving sand from place to another and changing the landscape. Nobody could really tell the landscape was being changed, though, as it still was a desert and just a mass of sand.
Looking closely, I could see that the desert formed was the map of Great Britain, and this represented the spiritual state of the nation. The tornado represented the church. It was doing ‘good’ things but having little effect on the nation, as nobody could really tell that the sand had been moved from one place to another as it still looked the same. Every so often, there would be a small oasis. This represented a pocket of believers who were consumed with God’s love. They weren’t a particular organisation or church, just believers who had been immersed in God’s love and were replicating it. It was these small oasis’ that were keeping Britain’s spiritual state from complete collapse away from God.
I then heard God say “this is not what we need. Pray for the earthquake to come.”
I then prayed for the earthquake and it came, shaking the very foundations of the whole nation. As Britain shook, the sand started filtering away, a bit like a sieve or colander. Eventually the majority of the sand had filtered away, leaving a small ‘dust’ covering.
I then heard God say “now pray for the hurricane to come.”
I did, and a great hurricane came which I knew represented God’s Spirit. It blew away the remaining sand leaving behind a fertile looking ground.
I then heard God say “now pray for the storm to come.”
I did and a great storm came. It represented God’s very presence. I rained hard on the land, forming a gushing river throughout the entire nation. This made the land fertile, and many seeds planted previously, even decades or centuries ago, began to grow. The desert had turned to fertile land. I then felt I needed to turn to Ezekiel 47 v 1-13.
Yesterday, 17th March 2008, I was praying for the world's financial markets and I saw the following very clearly: It was a scene of destruction like there had been a tsunami or nuclear bomb falling on a city. However, instead of the odd building still half standing, there were several stacks or columns rising out of the debris and scattered amongst it. They could be seen extremely clearly now that all the other buildings lay in rubble at their feet. They rose high in the sky, huge, solid, strong and immoveable.
I was also prompted by God in the new year to read my bible from cover to cover. This morning it was the turn to read Amos. Amos 6:1-7 seems very pertinent in the context of the current situation where the rich are the ones who are being hit first by God's judgement. At the time, it seemed that those financial establishments that were righteous were left standing and would be very clearly seen amidst the rubble. Please pray and see if you receive any confirmation in your spirit about this. I felt prompted to share it.
We believe that there is a greater call coming upon those who are discontent with the mainstream Christian following. This is a year of restoration of dreams and relationships. Dreams: There is a violent shaking coming upon those who have buried Kingdom dreams under the elements of this world. A time has come when we are to acknowledge that we live in an equal reality that has far greater power than that which is in the earth. We must recognise and respond to the heavenly reality that is in our lives which is: the Kingdom of God that dwells inside of you (Luke 17 v21). So don’t worry if all around you begins to be tried and tested, or if you get the sense that you’re beginning to lose control of some of the practical things in your life. A shaking will take place until all that is left is the promises of God spoken into and over your life. Let the debris fall away and leave a canvas that shines the Glory & Promises of God in your life. Be careful not to hold on to that which you cannot take with you. Relationships: There is a season of the restoration of Kingdom relationships coming this year, no matter how far the gap may seem in the flesh. Many have experienced a break down in the body through relationships which has left many wounded from the last year, this has been a clear objective from the enemy to stall and mask this current season which we are entering. We have been given the grace to overcome all that has come against our lives, so we must now apply that which has been given to us. This restoration period is to prepare the body for battle and the outpouring in the coming days; realignment is needed before we can receive & engage in the next outpouring from Heaven. Without a firm foundation built around us in love, there is no place for God to establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. Therefore if your prayers have been based around Matt 6 v10 (let your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven) then get ready for the promises over your life to be exposed for His Glory, although this may not feel like a comfortable or peaceful time for the many. This requires wisdom from heaven as in James 1 v5 (If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him, NKJ) as we may just be praying against circumstances that have been allowed by our Father to bring us and prepare us for this next season. It is a time to ask the right questions. It is time to ask Him how we can work though these circumstances and not how He can release us from them. David beat Goliath because had had fought through many battles before hand, against the Lion and the Bear (1 Samuel v 37), each time becoming stronger. He gained strength from the battles, which then prepared him for his next fight. So don’t allow this time to pass by like the wind, or we may not be ready for the next season & battle that is coming. There is greater provision for those who are obedient to their calling, almost like an endless availability to Kingdom resources. It is not the season to adopt another persons calling; each one of us is made intricately by our Fathers hand to encourage the body, in our own individual way. Hold on to that which is from Him specifically for you at this time, because using someone else’s gifting in this time will only bring you discouragement. This has greater implications than you may realise, as you were intended for this very moment in time everything that you do is for the building & strengthening of the body. So if we deny what He wants to do through us specifically, it will affect the body as a whole. It is our role before God to be obedient in these days to what He has given us. It is also our role to protect our leaders and use the gifting He has given us, to edify the body of Christ in love, for the equipping of the Saints. (That’s you also)
I write this to the body of Christ in Northern Ireland out of a place of obedience and an expression of my love for the bride of Christ.
Rev Heather Butler Hidden Treasures Ministries International March 31st 2008
Wales now is the time to release the sound of the Spirit that is welling up within you. Land of song, your inheritance, sing songs of victory that have laid deep within your soul, allow the sound of them to surface.
Open you mouth and pour forth rivers of revelation across the nations who are awakening to the call of the Father.
Wales often overlooked, for a season you have been hidden, but the glory of His presence is about to rise up within your inner most being, a sound that is mightier than anything you have experienced before.
Do not hold back, this is your moment to shine, let your light shine before all men, let the same creative force that brought the earth into being by the sound of His voice, be the same sound that breaks the sound barriers of the nations, releasing the symphony of His Spirit upon the dry bones of nations lost in the wilderness places .
Awake WALES Awake WALES AWAKE WALES Do not miss your moment, embrace it. I know that you are uncertain about what is about to happen, but open your mouth and He will fill it. Open your ears and you will hear it, a sound like thunderous waterfalls, crashing through hearts of stone, uprooting mountains of unbelief washing them into the high seas of the Spirit, surging forth tearing down walls and foundations built upon the sand, clearing a pathway for the righteous in Him to tread, removing the stones that have become a barrier to those on this highway.
WALES sing your songs of release, that the winds of His Spirit will carry the sound across the nations, depositing the notes as pollen upon the honey bees ( Deborahs) sent to gather the sound to release it to those who have been waiting, travailing, interceding, watching, crying out for the release of this new sound that is as a sweet fragrance, a soothing balm, pour forth your honey from the rock.
Wales sing your songs over the nations, lift up your voice to break the cedars, to shatter the acts of the enemy against you.
Do not forget Israel, the hinge pin, sing out songs His songs of love over her, sing out songs of healing, sing out songs of peace, sing out songs of revelation that will open blind eyes and deaf ears to the truth of the Messiah.
Wales, this is your inheritance, Blue stones cry out!
Mam Cymru Cry out, Mother Isle, sing songs from a mothers heart over the nation, Mam Cymru your sound is unique, full of tenderness, yet full of fire, fervent and deep, this is your destiny, pour it out across the straits, let it cross the bridges onto the mainland, let your sound resonate throughout the mountains, carried on the winds of the Spirit into the heart of the nation.
Holy Spirit carry the cry of the heart of the mother into the Assembly, that those in the corridors of power will hear the sound of it, and catch the beat, the beat of your heart beating in tune with the Fathers.
NOW IS THE TIME TO RELEASE YOUR SOUND WALES do not delay.
prophesy from Lizzie Manley.... Woken by the Lord at 6.30a.m. 24th February 2008
I am the God of the broken hearted, the God of the lost and the low. You are my children and I see your pains, loss, and heartache; come into My Presence and let Me heal you. I want a family of healed, strong children. I want to be Your Father. I want to see you free and dancing with joy. As you rejoice you will touch the world around you. Your peace will bring quiet to trouble hearts, your love will bring hope to the hopeless and rejoicing to the joyless. I am the God of the Fatherless. Let Me touch you, so your blessing will draw more of My lost children to Me. For there is going to be at time of great loss and despair in this land. The things people put their trust in will fall away like leaves on Autumn trees.; they will feel exposed and afraid. Running like lost sheep, looking for somewhere to hide. I want you to bring them to Me. I am their Rock, their hope and peace. This work I have for you will save many lives, and will pull people back from the brink of destruction. I am calling my church to become an army of love. There is so much to do and to do the job well you need to be equipped, obedient and close to Me to hear My voice. Do not go searching for good things to do in your own strength; I will show you. I have a command strategy; a plan. Remain close to me and listen for My instructions. I will guide you. I love you, and appreciate your willingness to obey Me. When things get busy and it seems like there is nowhere to rest, I will be your Sanctuary. I will reward you with blessings beyond anything you can imagine. I understand how much I am demanding of you and want you to know that you can never out give Me. I will give you strength when you are weary, and when it feels like you have impossible mountains to climb, you will find that you have reached the summits in My strength. Remain close to My Word and in My presence constantly and I will take care of everything.
A young Congolese pastor, planted a church in Portsmouth, in southwest England.
“The British people really do not want to hear about God,” Bobala says. “But God is bringing Christian immigrants here to save the British people. And we find that the younger generation [of Brits] are more open to coming to church.”
During one evening service at Ashburnham I couldn’t hold back from releasing a prophetic word about the future of England. The Lord spoke to me and said:
“A great thaw is coming to this land. Although things look desolate, as if winter has killed all the trees, I am bringing resurrection life to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The time of springtime has come. Though it looks desolate, if you could see in the spiritual realm you would see the buds have already appeared.”
I had a picture on Sunday evening at our prayer meeting. This was not a local matter but of the nation.
It was of a man in bed trying to draw the sheets up over his head with one hand and trying to cover his head from behind him with the another sheet that was not there.
The interpretation was of the man symbolising the "Church". 1.Drawing the bedclothes over his head - the church in denial of the condition of this land, and it's own condition. 2.Trying to cover his head from behind - trying to hide from and deny that there is a deep spiritual battle to be fought.
1.It is a picture we all know well as a child, drawing the sheets around us for comfort from what may have been bad experiences of the day and from dark shadows we saw in our room, with the hope that we would awake, having done nothing to change anything, to a new day and all would be as it should be. - Yet we cannot deny the days we live in where good is called evil and evil good, of a lost nation caught up by the false god of feverish consumerism that offers no hope but only fear of what will there be ? of not having the latest and most current lifestyle objects. And yet for most churches the "sunday services" churn on in blissful denial whilst the shopping malls ring out the tune of continual assurance to the multitudes that all is well.
2.Trying to hide from and deny what cannot be grasped or made physical - the spiritual battle that is going on around us and cannot be avoided. We think that somehow we can hide ourselves from the responsibilities of spiritual warefare and do without the inconvenience and untidiness of the Gifts Of The Spirit operating amongst us. The public face of the church in all it's organisations and forums a very acceptable one and rustles few feathers. What would neat and tidy "Church" do if the manifestation of the gifts should spill out onto the streets?. May God in His mercy poor out his Spirit afresh and give us this very problem.
