HE will abide with hearts that are prepared

Rambling notes on revelation in June 2008 

Joy

At our evening of prayer called "the rising tide", prayed that the prophetic voice arise to build up the church here - we need to have these words/intentions of God to be able to activate the release of these things in our churches.  That we have to speak these things out and God will back them up with His power - the prophetic voices are the midwives for this season - I stepped out in faith to call forth these words and people!  (for this land and people)
  • Zechariah 2 11And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.   12And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.  13Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.  God is looking for places and people to "Abide" with - whoever will receive Him and who's hearts are prepared - there He will ABIDE!
  • The "network" of countries linked to the UK through colonisation, trade etc was put into place for this time and purpose.  What happens here will have a natural duplication in the countries, that through colonisation etc, have duplicated governmental, judicial, language and social structures.
  • We are in the ante-chamber, the vestibule - waiting for the door to open to our inheritance - which is God and the fullness thereof.  It is finished!  The past is complete - now the new starts.
  • Last night - vision of space - explosion in the heavanlies as in the birth of a new star (the actual word in my spirit was "nebuli" ??) and what I sensed God was saying is that NOTHING we have seen in the past will match what we are about to see now - that we have NO experience or nothing that we can relate to or NO terms of reference to either understand or measure His power.  That He, who can birth stars and universe is about to birth this move into the fullness of all He has intended for us.
  • Four, maybe five years ago - one of my first ever visions as a direct result of asking God about the future was of a multitude of people coming out of a heavy, filthy fog - one by one they started to appear from this fog - battle weary, scarred and trance like - at first it was a trickle, then the numbers increased as they started to move or be drawn towards a mountain top where there was light.

Battleships of prayer and intercession

A series of "battleship" pictures - first was in turbulent sea - sailors on deck doing a 21 gun salute - with the cry "fire the volley".  The second was two battleships in a harbour - clear day, many on-lookers and ships were flying their flags [one was Venezuela and the other South Africa ??]- very colourfil & festive

Started off over the ocean - was night time, sea was very turbulent and fog was swirling all around. CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SCENE ETC  
 
Out of the fog  CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINTY - almost as if pushing it's way through the fog was a battleship THOSE WAGING WAR WHILE ALL THE FOG IS GOING ON it was moving with great force POWER OF PRAYER AND INTERCESSION NORMAL AND PROPHETIC and the "wake" of the ship was in the fog. 
The battleship dipped below a huge wave and as it broke through the wave it had the statue of Liberty EXACTLY THAT – THE ANOINTING BREAKS THE YOKE – THE HOLY GHOST  as it's mast AGAIN THE ANOINTING BREAKS THE YOKE- again, it appeared as if this battleship was pushing the statue THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL RAISE A STANDARD AGAINST HIM – THE HOLY GHOST ahead of it with great force and as it moved, the fog separated. WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS THERE IS LIBERTY  
 
The picture changed to an aerial view of the UK - bright, clear and sunny THE ENTERANCE OF THY WORD GIVETH LIGHT and it was being covered by the water THE WORD OF GOD stirred up by this battleship PRAYER AND INTERCESSION.

Poinsettia dream: MY times are NOT yours

The Dream started in my home - a couple of people had gathered to celebrate passover - we were praying but I decided to leave the house and go to a friends house as I had heard that they were also celebrating.  My friend opened the door for me and in welcome said "happy Pesach" - I handed her a gift of a potted poinsettia in full bloom and as I walked through the door - we both laughed as poinsettia's are associated with Christmas.

My friend pointed me towards the lounge area and said that there were 20 to 30 people in the lounge waiting to celebrate Pesach - as I peeped into the lounge I could hear people chatting but I saw in front of me a fax machine - It caught my attention as reams of paper was pouring out of it with a message that had been received - the paper was everywhere.  The machine held my attention.

I woke up at this point - turned to my clock at it was 7:07 am and today is also the 7th.



Thinking it through

My friend = Is has Jewish connections and led me to look at the Jewish calendar & celebrations.
  • Day 7 of the 7th week of Counting the Omer is the final day between Passover and Shavuot which is the giving of the law of Moses to the Hebrews - the time when they entered into the covenant with God.
  • "This holiday is likened to our wedding day -- beneath the wedding canopy of Mount Sinai , G‑d betrothed us to Him. G‑d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him." (taken from Chabad.org)
  • Shavuot is also the celebration of the wheat harvest and the ripening of the first fruits, which is the reason for the other two biblical names for this holiday: 1) "Yom Habikurim" or the "Day of the First Fruits." 2) "Chag HaKatzir," the "Harvest Festival."
  • We would know this as Pentecost - The Hebrew celebration is due 8 to 10 June 2008
  • I had a similar word last year about the first harvest of the Hebrews when they had settled in their new land.

Numbers in the dream and on waking
  • 7's = perfection, wholeness of God, completeness, finished worked
  • 20 = Holy; redemption. (Ex. 30: 12-14; Rev. 4: 4)
  • 30 = Beginning of ministry; maturity for ministry; blood of Christ. (Luke 3:23; Gen.41: 16; Num.4:3)

Poinsettia = associated with Christmas - therefore birth of Christ
  • Christ was the word who lived/lives with us
  • He gave His life - thereby establishing the new covenant between God and mankind.
  • Represents celebration
  • Living plant
  • "During the 17th century, Franciscan priests in Mexico began to use the flower in nativity processions because of its brilliant colour and holiday bloom, A favourite flower in many countries with its beautiful red, star-shaped flower. It is called the "Flame Leaf" in Central America or "Flower of the Holy Night" (The poinsettia legend) The flower is associated with miracles."
Fax machine
  • point where messages are received
  • don't see the sender
  • It can be switched off and thus not receiving !!

Combustible prayer (rings of fire)

Zechariah 2:5 (NKJ) says,  “For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.”
 
Praying about the Global Day of Prayer event at Millwall (May 2008) God laid on my heart a beautiful picture of a pond with the proverbial gentle ripples caused by a stone being throne in the middle - the ripples were gentle and peaceful - as I was thanking the Father for this peaceful, gentle picture, I heard in my spirit the word "epicentre".  I asked what this was about.   
The picture started to change and beneath the gentle water were rings of fire – almost reflecting the ripple effect from above – rings of fire from the centre and moving outwards - starting small and getting bigger as they moved out with tremendous power. Everything in their wake was raised to the ground. 

Sharing this with others at the time a number of people confirmed that they too had experienced pictures of rings of fire whilst praying.

As we pray, heavenly activity is released and is far more powerful than we can imagine. The rings of fire are circles of prayer and that’s where revival, healing and the move of Holy Ghost starts – combustible prayer.  

How do we set the world on fire ...... PRAY!

Choose life

Thursday 27 Dec
Dream .......... In my dream I was preparing for my preach this coming Sunday. The scripture given me in the dream was the Choose Life passage from Deuteronomy ....... still in my dream I spent some time thinking about it and about the old and new covenant.  Suddenly I was in church on the Sunday and I had not written anything down - I knew the message was in my heart - but as I like to have notes (need notes) I left the service during the worship time to write down my four main points.  I sat quietly with a piece of paper (almost like a post-it-note) and wrote down my four points - but I could not see what I had written and then I was called into the service to give the talk.  There was no sense of panic (which I get into a bit before preaching)

As I woke up from the dream I knew in my spirit that the key message was that this was about choice and that we, individually and as the body of Christ, have a small window of opportunity to make the choice between life and death / curses and blessings.

Wednesday 2 January
Vision ......... I was walking along the pavement in central London (very much like Victoria street where the pavement is broad) and suddenly - moving towards me - the pavement was heaving and concrete blocks were being ripped open as in an earthquake.  The pavement continued to break open with the gap increasing and I knew as it came towards me that I had to make a choice to jump to either one side or another or I would fall into the open chasm that was coming towards me.

The new day will dawn

Sunday 23 Dec 2007
Vision of an African plain just before dawn ......... everything silent, almost of holding a collective breath in anticipation of the dawn.  The sky was clear and on the horizon was the hint of a spectacular sunrise. I felt such an intense peace with a sense that everything (trees, animals, humans) was bowed in anticipation of the dawn.

In my spirit I heard the whisper "The new day is dawning"

The picture, rather rudely and suddenly, switched to an air-force base runway, again it was dawn and my eyes were drawn to the tail end of a fighter jet (I could only see the rear end of it) and suddenly the engine roared into life and the flames and heat came out from the back.  I had the sense that the fighter jet was being revved in anticipation of 'take-off'  - very like the jets that take off from the ships - they rev like mad then almost catapult off the ship.
