Clap Your Hands, All You Nations.

On Thursday evening 28th of May the weekly ritual of people gathering on their doorsteps to clap in appreciation of the NHS and other keyworkers came to a stop. Annemarie Plas from London who organised this from the beginning suggested that perhaps it should finish to avoid becoming a political statement, that it would be better to end whilst still at its peak. This abrupt stop will leave most of us I am sure with a memory of how hand clapping has impacted our  society, it has not been allowed to dwindle out; instead we will remember the crescendo of noise that started out with hand clapping and ended up orchestrated with banging on saucepans, blowing of whistles and all sorts.

Today I was at my place of work looking across an open space to a line of well established broad-leafed trees that border a field. In a gentle breeze the leaves were giving a rustling sound as if they were chatting. Yes, trees can speak and because I am admiring these trees across this beautiful countryside every day I can witness the different sounds that come from their midst depending on the weather. A stormy day can cause the trees to more than just chatter, branches and limbs can bang, rub against each other and creek, all audible if you happen to be close by. While I was pondering on the thought of trees and the sounds that come from them I recalled this bible scripture:

Isaiah 55 v 12 NIV

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

The photo below is a picture of where I work. You may not be able to see all the detail if viewing from a mobile phone so I will describe the setting here. I work on a road construction site, the light green porta cabins are where I spend a lot of my time and from the entrances of the cabins I can look directly across to the trees that border farm land with majestic hills in the background, the hills and the trees of the field fitting exactly the description as in the text of Isaiah 55.

Whilst meditating over the trees and the hills a deep spiritual revelation came to me as if the very voice of God. My heart and soul was telling me that God's creation speaks out in praise to Him constantly but what about His people, have they forgotten to Praise His name? Praise for the Lord Almighty in this nation has been dwindling for many years, this is the time when we should be doing the opposite and Praising God's name more, recognising that in Him we should place our trust, giving Him praise in every situation. My appeal please is to encourage yourselves, friends and family to pray to our heavenly Father, clap your hands unto Him, bow the knee and pray for the protection of our NHS staff and other keyworkers and our population as a whole, both in the UK and throughout all nations worldwide.

Psalm 47 v 1- 2 NIV

Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.

Did Easter Mark the Peak of Coronavirus in the UK?

Throughout this pandemic period there has been one psalm that has been repeatedly quoted and that is Psalm 91, a psalm of protection for those who love the Lord. There is one verse that has struck me as being prophetic for the UK at this time - verse 7 says "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee" and in verse 10 "neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling". The best protection for any nation to receive at this time is in having faith in the saving grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This is where we need to see the masses turning to Him, for those who do not believe in Jesus, what hope do they have? It makes me so grateful that my whole family and myself have our Christian faith to hold onto with the reassurance of our Father's love, we know whatever happens we have a destiny away from all harm, disease and suffering.   

So why should psalm 91 be prophetic for the UK right now?  Looking at the number of recorded deaths during the Easter weekend I noticed two things, firstly on Good Friday the 10th of April it was announced that 980 had died in the last 24hrs. the greatest number in one day since the outbreak and just short by 20 of the "1,000 falling at thy side" - and then on Easter Sunday an update of the total number of deaths in the UK from day one had now exceeded 10,000 the same number as mentioned in verse 7 "and ten thousand to your right hand." This really touched me and I felt certain it wasn't coincidence, especially as the peak of fatalities had come over the Easter period. I took this in prayer and asked the Lord about it and I had a real sense that in the days and weeks ahead we would be able to look back and say Christ on the cross was the point at which Coronavirus in Britain at last stopped it's increasing advance. The cross and the blood of Jesus has been the stopping point. On Wednesday this week on the 15th of April, Chris Whitty announced at a meeting for the press that Coronavirus overall had probably reached it's peak. Certainly there does seem to be a receding number of deaths on a daily count, on average around 800 a day. Just as I am writing this, today's newsflash has popped up with 888 recorded deaths over the last 24 hours. Well here's an interesting thought 888 is also the number of Christ reminding us that He died so that our sins could be forgiven and to take away all our infirmities and diseases.  


Matthew 8:17  - This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases."


One final thought for today. For anyone who is presently mourning for a lost loved one or knows of others close to them who are affected by Coronavirus, please be assured of my concern in what I write. Numbers of casualties are not being quoted without due consideration of the hundreds of individuals and their families who are caught up in the horrific and terrifying circumstances they find themselves in. We are praying for you to know the comfort and healing that Christ brings. Yes today's blog reflects my personal belief that Christ can and will bring an end to all suffering here on earth. Answer to prayer can come rapidly, please stand with me today in belief that Jesus has already intervened, that He reigns in Glory, death and the fear of death is no match for the Love of God.

March the 22nd - A national and global call to prayer.

Today there is an appeal from the churches together movement to join in prayer at 7 p.m. with a lit candle in your home. Join us if you can as we plead to Jesus for an answer to all this suffering, fear and sorrow humanity is presently experiencing, repenting for the wrongs of our nations, praying to our Saviour to bring and end to Coronavirus.

National Call to Prayer from UK church leaders

A Vision on the Day of Storm Ciara

Like myself many of you will have woken this morning to the sound of high winds as Storm Ciara came in full force. A vision came to me with a spiritual interpretation as to what this storm represents and it's meaning for the U.K. The vision is as follows:

From the apple orchards in Britain the storm sweeps through to claim the fruit of the land. The once well manicured and pruned trees have been neglected and have grown tall, making it difficult for the apple pickers to reach the fruit at the top of the trees. The storm rages through the orchards but the farmers are at ease thinking that the wind will shake the fruit and it will fall to the ground to provide a good windfall harvest. The outcome is somewhat different, yes the fruit is blown off from the uppermost branches of the trees but does not fall to the ground, mysteriously the fruit is all taken away airborne, in flight to a place of safety and refuge.

The scene then changes from the orchard to a built up area, my eyes are focused on a secure compound with high reinforced walls clad with steel. There's a narrow gateway with heavy iron gates that open up, then I watched the arrival, a steady stream of green and red fruit, apples, pears and various berries, all the indigenous fruit of our land; all came flying through the narrow gateway to settle and rest within the safety of the compound. The stream of fruit continued to enter, for as long as the wind of storm Ciara blew so the fruit just kept coming and coming, thousands if not millions of individual pieces of fruit. Then I noticed something interesting, the colour of the fruit began to include other colours such as orange and yellow, these were the citrus and tropical fruits joining from somewhere else, obviously not from the apple orchards from where my vision started but nonetheless they came. 

Accompanying this vision the Lord gave me a scripture from Colossians 1:1-10 The words Fruit and fruitful are found twice in this epistle of St. Paul's, in verse 6 "bringing forth fruit" and in verse 10 "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work"

As well as the vision and scripture an interpretation came immediately with an instruction for the church not to ignore it's part in being ready.

INTERPRETATION

The poorly attended orchards are the churches that function only on religious rituals, agenda and tradition, they are the churches that fail to actively seek the working power of the Holy Spirit, the farmers are the church leaders from these churches. The fruit on the tree tops are the unchurched, lost souls that God himself gathers to take to a safe place. The safe place is not heaven directly but to a compound, the safe place where the true church gather. As the wind of the Holy Spirit tears the fruit away from uppermost branches, each individual fruit is given an indwelling spirit, and is named "The spirit of inquiry" giving the desire to seek out the truth of God. All the many thousands of fruit have been numbered and ear-marked by the Lord, they are His and they will come. Just a small number will be aware of God's touch initially but the vast majority will come over these next few years during the greatest awakening that the UK has ever seen! Remember, for these are those who are ear-marked by the Lord, they may walk among us and act in their normal manner of appearing to be ungodly but they unknowingly have been implanted with that spirit of inquiry and at an appointed time they will feel compelled to seek out God's truth. They will come in droves over the next few years ahead, church be ready to receive this generation of souls eager to learn the word of God.

As for an interpretation of the yellow and orange fruit, I believe this represents those from other nations who will join as the result of a direct mission outreach from the UK. The church needs to be ready and prepare for this massive incoming of the hungry masses who have been stirred by the spirit of God.

AN ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION

I do have one hugely important consideration here, and that is this received word should not make the Christian believer feel that their service is no longer required. We are co-workers with Christ and must not slacken in our zeal to share His love that we have so graciously be given. Just because our Lord has given this precious insight of a multitude of souls in our generation to come willingly to the Father they have never known, that this does not mean we have nothing to do! The harvesting of souls is still very much our responsibility, this is not the time for us to stand in the wings applauding God for His intervention thinking that He can do this very easily without us. We should be encouraged by this word that the Lord has ear-marked so many to come into His kingdom and we must be reminded at all times that it is part of His plan to use us for this purpose, otherwise why would He have ever given to His church the command of the Great Commission. I must admit I do feel inadequate at times, I feel like being on the edge of this vast end-time field that is ripe for harvest, I am standing with a hand scythe whilst I see the Lord roll up with this word today in a huge combine harvester! Brothers and sisters in your thousands, let's sharpen up our scythes, we are that combine harvester!

Luke 10:2

And He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest".

Britain - An Independant Island Nation

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the British Isles. My purpose today is not to write a long political analysis about Brexit, instead I want to give thanks to the Lord for Britain's withdrawal from the E.U. We still need to abide by E.U. law in this transition period to the end of this year, but from 2021 onwards all new laws and amendment to existing law will be made in the U.K. Personally this is my celebration of Brexit as I believe that our law since Magna Carta and before has been founded on Christian principles. By praying for our nations leaders and politicians we ask our Lord and Saviour to watch over us, the whole of the U.K. as we seek for more righteous governance with God firmly at the helm.

Prophecy UK 22 - 1st. Anniversary

A year ago today the name Prophecy UK 22 came into being. 4 days later on the 26th I created my first post followed by the London Prophesy/Visions from September 2018. I hope that 2020 will be the year that I will enter into phase two and make videos for social media on these important words given by the Lord. It is encouraging to see signs of the church here in the UK reaching out to God in true repentance for our sin within both the church and our nation. I would love for this to be widespread with all churches, the Lord does require us to be unified, we cannot afford any church to be luke warm concerning this matter.

Prophecy UK 22's work is ongoing and I pray that the words of prophesy given here are taken seriously as warning of what God is capable of bringing about if as a whole nation we do not seek His ways. Personally, I remain optimistic that we will move out of complacency enough to please the Lord in our effort to turn back to Him, He is our only hope for our nation. Our prayer is to be unceasing - Praise God!

Update on Isaiah 20 Vision.

Isaiah 20 became an important scripture for me when the Lord gave it in September 2018. It continues to give me guidance as I pray and intercede for our country, in reading this chapter it isn't too hard to see a similar situation for the UK today as it was for Israel in Isaiah's time. Just recently I came across this video from Emma Stark of the Glasgow Prophetic Centre, the message around Isaiah 20 in relationship to where the UK stands today is essentially the same as I received in September 2018. The first part of the video is about Brexit and from 4:50 onwards is concerning Isaiah 20 with an interesting conclusion to do with the importance of Scotland remaining as part of the Union of the United Kingdom. I am so grateful to God for having given this word to a prophetess who is so active in her serving the Lord. Right at the moment I believe she is better placed than myself for getting this message across to those who need to receive this word, God has equipped her to be at the level of engaging with heads of national corporate companies, institutions and leaders in Government and above. Please watch this video and support Emma and the Glasgow Prophetic Centre in any way you can. Thank you.

2019 - End of Year Update & Review

Seasons Greetings to you all as we celebrate our Lord's birth and focus in prayer on how He is calling us to serve Him in the new year ahead. This is my most sincere prayer for every believer, that you will hear His voice as you trust in Him to direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6).

I gratefully continue with the calling given to me in September 2018, I see this as my Isaiah 20 calling as I follow the Lord's guidance in how to intercede for the nation of Britain. From the very start this seemed like an awesome challenge but now I am learning to accept this calling with the reassurance that when God calls us for a task He will never set us a target that is unattainable, all I have to do is to have faith, to trust and most importantly, to be obedient to His call.

It is now around 14 months ago, a little over a year when I first received the visions for London and the UK as I completed my last day of Walk 164, a walk of prayer and remembrance for the nation that finished on Westminster Bridge in London on the 22nd of September 2018. For those of you who have followed my blogs from the beginning you will know, the visions and prophetic word I received are amongst the sternest you will read anywhere concerning the spiritual condition of our country. Certainly, if you want to hear silk lined prophecy that is more palatable there is plenty of it about but not here, I believe the Lord for whatever reason chose me to have an ear and in the case of visions, an eye that is not afraid to understand the fullness of God's judgement on our nation. Having said all that and recognising the role He has given me to warn, I have in recent months sensed His longing and desire to bless His church of faithful believers, those who have for years, even decades been unceasing in their supplication of prayer for the nation of Britain, His true and unswerving intercessors for the UK. If we as a nation were to have the harshest judgement handed out from God where would that leave all of those who have cried out to Him for mercy for so long? The answer is that He is listening and deeply loves and cares for all His children who honour His name in righteousness.

I have not rushed to enter every single thing that the Lord has given in recent months into new blog entries on a daily basis. Often I receive something but know the right thing to do is to hold back for awhile so that I can weigh, consider and test any new word or vision given, especially when it relates to a word already received some while ago. In these last few months I believe the Lord has been speaking to me directly about the visions of London's pending devastation through floods and fire. Unless there is a real move towards repentance, as He has already warned us, He has the full authority to bring this about. However there is another side to this where we can know God's compassion. What has surprised me and brought gladness to my heart is how the Lord wants His remnant true church, those who are faithful and continuous in prayer, how He wants us to see what is meant by Fire and Flood from a spiritual perspective.

In my original vision of the huge cosmic Fire Ball over Saint Paul's Cathedral, I never saw the Fire Ball hit, instead there was a frozen frame, a pause in the vision as I watched it much like a video. This pause was just for a second but long enough to know that it was a space like a blank in a storyboard that needed to be filled in. This space I feel, has been purposely left blank by God for us to consider prayerfully how it might be filled in, what at first appears to be an irreversible outcome of the fire ball hitting St. Paul's does not have to be, the space is for us to search God for anything else that this vision could mean. What I have became aware of is that this pause or frozen frame has been wedged in by the prayers of those who plead unceasingly to the Lord, who's prayers  reach the throne room of God. So, what are the options for an alternative fire other than a direct hit on St. Paul's and the City of London. The first picture I got was that the City of London was hit by a communications blackout, that every digital security system for controlling monetary and commercial transactions for the city went down. I saw this in a vision of God's touching finger reaching out from heaven to mankind as depicted in Michael Angelo's masterpiece, only this time it was God's thumb and finger snubbing out the light of all the satellites in orbit above the earth. This reminded me of my own earthly father and how he would not blow candles out but extinguish the flame with his wetted thumb and forefinger as he squeezed the wick of each lit candle. Now in this vision I could see my heavenly Father putting out the light of intelligence in each and every communications satellite and on ground level jamming the safe doors of banks and the cities impenetrable strongholds of institution, no one able to retrieve the hoards of wealth, the city struck dumb destroyed by God, a kind of fire, a fire of His fury over a corrupt Godless nation.

Another option and interpretation of a coming fire from God is the one that His church are patiently waiting and praying for, a spiritual fire, as in the day of Pentecost, a fire of His Glory as Britain is swept in it's next great revival!  Exactly the same applies to the visions of flood, in the natural we want to pray that those floods will never come to swamp, displace people and destroy lives, but in the supernatural we say let the spiritual floods come so that the lives of the lost are saved in the flood of the Lord's saving grace!

Extra Note

Concerning London being at huge risk of loss of communication and data, it appears this is actually happening right now with the loss of sensitive information from MI6, the nations secret service. I doubt that God's hand has been in this, more likely negligence of security systems caused by human error. Still, it should act as a wake up call that God can bring about high levels of disruption into our countries high profile establishments in order to shake us into realisation of our ungodly ways.

Britain be Prepared - Make Way for the Lord!

As a result of diligently searching the Lord and during a time of extensive intercessory prayer for our nation I believe that the Year 2022 is going to be a landmark year for the UK. The Lord is calling His church in the UK to be ready, for He has singled out 2022 as the year that He will bring about major change in our land. For this to happen in a positive way where we can have blessings bestowed upon our nation we first need to see our leaders both in Government and in Church repent to God Almighty, to repent for the way we have neglected the heritage of our Christian faith and followed worldly pursuits and endeavours that fail to honour His name. There can be no revival unless there is genuine honest repentance first. This time the Lord is not asking for repentance from individuals alone but from entire organisations, no matter whether they be private, corporate, government, state or Crown. Our whole nation needs to turn back to God, and when we do, then we will see the Father's love rain upon this land, no longer to fear terrorism, riots, wars and economic strife but to experience the Lord's blessing in a deep inner peace with prosperity restored to our land. The Lord God Almighty has a purpose for this nation, that His children will break forth in mission, spreading the gospel news with a new fresh anointing, Great Britain Awake! Be a beacon of Christ's light to the world.

ESSENTIAL READING - Please don't leave these pages until you have read the following - Thanks  

If this is your first visit to Prophecy UK 22 then I would urge you to read all the blogs from February 2019. There are three blogs that report on God's given word following a prayer walk I had in London on September 22nd 2018. These three blogs are the backbone of this blog site as they give some stern warnings from the Lord concerning both the spiritual and general welfare of our country, here are some quick links.

Britain, How Great You Are

Warnings for London

To the Luke Warm Church in Britain

Conversion of dissused church to 9 town flats.

This last week I have been watching the part demolition of a familiar church in the centre of Congleton where I live. This church has remained locked up for as long as I can remember so it's interesting now to see some of it's rafters and windows from the inside, the tower behind is that of the Town hall and not the church spire. The Primitive Baptist Church on Kinsey street is now set to provide accommodation with 9 separate flats.

At one time I would have had sadness and heaviness of heart over a sight such as this, there are after all so many conversions of former churches and chapels up and down the country. Many will say it is a sign of the times we live in, a decline in today's society that no longer do we have a population who yearn to worship God, that church attendance is dwindling everywhere. I have to disagree, here is an opportunity for perhaps young couples to start up with their first home, my prayer would be that they will be blessed, and if they don't know our Lord Jesus yet, that they will have the Gospel presented to them and they will be swept into and be a part of the next revival in this land! Such growth in the spiritual welfare of our nation will bring a wave of new church building, the temple churches of a new generation of believers as mentioned in my earlier post Great Britain How Great You Are - Great Among the Nations.

So, here I stand praising God for the sight of work on this former church, it's usage will change and as for a place of worship, well in faith I will pray that the incoming residents will believe in Christ and honour Him in their new homes, then there will be worshiping at this place once again!

Near collapse of dam above Whaley Bridge

For those of you who have read my posts on prophetic warnings of future floods in London here's what is actually happening now in the North West of England, about 20 miles South East of Manchester in Derbyshire's Peak District. Nine days ago on the 1st. of August the Dam spillway wall of Toddbrook Reservoir sustained severe damage after a period of exceedingly heavy rain. The town of Whaley Bridge that lies beneath the dam has been evacuated. The London prophecies that warn of flooding was not just for London but for other areas throughout the U.K. I can't help feeling that this near calamity and potential loss of life of thousands should be regarded as one such warning, what do you think? At the foot of this post I will leave a link to a full news media report by the BBC on the Whaley Bridge incident.

Below are some of my own pictures of Toddbrook Reservoir taken in 2018 whilst walking from Manchester to London in what started out to be a walk of remembrance for those lost in these cities during 2017. When my walk finished in London on September 22nd 2018 another dimension had been added to the walk not by myself but I believe by the Lord Himself as His Holy spirit gave the powerful warnings for London and our whole nation. If you are interested in the walk I made in 2018 please follow this link, thank you. www.walk164.uk
