Greetings on Palm Sunday

Greetings to everyone. Today is Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. May the Lord bless you at this time when Christians reflect on the Lord Jesus' ride into Jerusalem, the suffering He endured on the cross, and the glory of His resurrection.

Quick Links to the London 2018 Visions

Prayer Watch 33 would not have come about if I had not first followed the Lord's instruction to prayer walk from Manchester to London in 2018. When I arrived in London on September the 22nd the Lord gave me powerful word and vision regarding London and the UK.

Update on development work on PW33's Website

For over one year now I have been building up lists of principal cities and towns in most countries and nations throughout the world. I say most, as no doubt I will have unintentionally missed a few out. By and large this work is now complete or is it? During this last weekend, I came across two countries that I did not recognise by name, searching my lists confirmed that there were no entries for them, should I really update and include them on my list?  

The stories behind these two countries have really baffled and amused me as to how they were formed. Perhaps you would like to check them out for yourself - can these seriously be considered as independent countries?

Let me know what you think, at the very least it will bring a smile and chuckle to your face! Enjoy

New Year Greetings - Plus Comments on Gaza and Middle East

Thank you all who come this way and read my posts. Happy New Year to you all, may the Lord bless you abundantly in 2024.

Below is a post that I released at my main website on Sunday 31st of December. . . . 

Sunday 31/12/23  With wars escalating both in Gaza and Ukraine, this doesn't seem the best way to see out the year, we certainly must and do pray for peace in 2024.

I have been touched over the last few weeks to hear of an increasing amount of good news concerning 100's of conversions to Christianity in two regions. The story about many young Palestinian men who have seen Jesus appearing in their dreams is wonderful news indeed. The other news is of persecuted Iranian women who are fleeing to neighbouring Armenia, it is here where they are greeted by churches, and many are receiving Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Prayer Watch 33 - 1st Anniversary Today

Today marks the first Anniversary of starting Prayer Watch 33, the first of 11 years completed. 10 years to go now, interceding in prayer for all nations and culminating in a global celebration on September 22nd 2033

A Given Word on Redistribution of World Wealth 11/12/22

A few days ago whilst driving to work I listened to a news bulletin on the radio. Two news items ran side by side, the first on the net worth of a world famous footballer and secondly the pay dispute that is likely to result in strike action concerning UK nurses and ambulance crews.

The professional footballers pay package with a Saudi Arabian team is unbelievable. How can anyone be justified to earn so many thousands of pounds every minute of their working day? A salary of £200 million per year is excessive to say the least. In contrast the unions negotiating on behalf of NHS workers are presently in talks with the Government to improve the pay of emergency paramedics, ambulance drivers and nurses upwards of a mere 4.5 percent. How cruel and unfair this is, it is a drop in the ocean compared to what these life saving professionals should be getting.

I felt anger when I heard these two news stories and had to turn to prayer. In an instant I heard the Lords voice as He answered my heart felt plea for justice:

Remember what I have shown you in the past few months, a word on levelling up, with the first shoots from the seed of prayer breaking ground, that's right breaking ground that has been evenly prepared. From now on it's not only the privileged sports celebrities who will have an even playing field set before them but all you other workers who tirelessly work in other fields, that for you too, you will see an increase as the worth of your work is reviewed and rewarded. Furthermore, I AM both the cornerstone and capstone. As a cornerstone I AM the foundation for all who believe, hope and trust in my name, I AM there to support and uphold the downtrodden, despised, impoverished and neglected. Secondly, as The Capstone, nothing will rise above Me says the Lord. I WILL CAP the wealth of the wealthy and I will cap the capital of the capitalists. The hoards that they hide away will be exposed, the doors of the vaults will be flung wide open and the wealth will be redistributed. This is the time for reckoning, I The Lord have judged and I will bring justice about. Look around it is already happening and it will continue to happen with gathering momentum, institutions, banks and other wealthy individuals are all to be held to account. These coming years will be glorious years of seeing the poor who will seek me to rise up and to be poor no more.

Today marks my last post here at Prophecy UK 22

My heart felt thanks to all who have followed this blog site for the last 3 and a half years. Even though today marks the end of my blogging here at Prophecy UK 22, it does not mean I am closing off my commentary on prophecy, dreams and visions for the UK and you will be able to find my writings continuing elsewhere. I believe the time is right to expand, with a view that widens, reporting on how we the Church should prepare for Christ's return, keeping a worldwide watch on the spiritual wellness of all nations. 

Moving forward with this thought in mind I am starting today with a new website:

Thank you for your interest. God Bless

Jesus is the Light Within

Today we proclaim with Joy and Peace on the International Day of Light that JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

The following song I wrote some 26 years ago inspired by the expectant church here in the UK of Christ's soon return. Oh that we can keep that flame of expectancy alight still, with our lamps trimmed and bright, let us not grow weary for the Groom who is Christ, yes that He is coming for His bride!

Jesus is the Light Within

Chorus:

Jesus is the light within,

Shining through you and me,

He's the one who set us free

On the day that He died on Calvary

- - - - - -

Verses:

From shorelands and moorlands to the mountains and hills,

Within cities and towns and villages around,

The Lord's Spirit now flows across the land
As He asks His children to join hand in hand
To bring the good news, to all of mankind,

Such sorrow and darkness, bitterness and pain,

So many in need, for His riches to gain

Let us share in His name that they can believe,
And open our hearts that they may receive,
Jesus our saviour, the Light of the World

We know not the day or the hour He'll appear,
But the Lord He is coming, His time is near;
Prepare for He'll come like a thief in the night,
Place oil in your lamp, keep it trimmed and bright,
For the bridegroom is coming, to meet His bride.

Easter Greetings

Easter Greetings to all who come this way today. Christ is Risen and He is Lord! I have enjoyed reading the posts of others recently with a strong theme focussing on revival, well digging and unity. Also, that this year of 2022 is a favourable year with our Lord, by moving forward in faith we will begin to see the unlocking and release for so many of our communities here in the UK. The key to the House of David (Isaiah 22:22) can be a reality for our UK nation if we strive in peace, righteousness and faithfulness. Through intercessory prayer for our land, God's power and authority will bring about the miraculous, revival on a greater scale than any other generation has witnessed before.

Here are some pictures that I took on Saturday up at Mow Cop on the Cheshire, Staffordshire boarder line close to Stoke on Trent. This is where a huge outdoor revival took place in 1807, nearly a 100 years before the Welsh Revival, and was the birthplace of the Primitive Methodist Movement.

Prophecy UK 22 - Our Third Anniversary Today

Today marks the third anniversary of Prophecy UK 22. 2022 is the year for which this blog from the start has had focus and vision for. Three years ago the Lord showed me that 2022 would be the key year in which His spirit would begin to move across the UK in a way that we have not seen and witnessed for a very long time. The very nature of His movement was not revealed to me, but what I, nor anybody else knew at the time was that we would have the world wide pandemic of Covid 19. It is likely therefore as we struggle through on the other side of this devastating virus that many will find a reason to seek the Lord, to find faith in their God and creator, in desperation to cry out to His Holy name. On the flip side of this of course will be many others who's hearts are hardened against God with the age old argument that if God really exists, then why has He allowed this to happen. With such a divide amazing things can begin to work their way through when we, who believe in Christ begin to pray fervently for our lost family members and friends. It is the pride, arrogance and greed of selfish ideals that holds the UK or any other nation back from receiving the Lord's full blessing. This cultural sickness must be broken and until it is we will continue to struggle against God's judgement.

Over the three years that I have been blogging there have been many words given in warning. God has been cautioning those who are in positions of leadership, both in the church and through the various governing bodies of our nation. As yet their seems to be little change of heart but God's charge first falls on His church, when we can see the sin that remains in our own assemblies then we must address this and repent before the Lord. How can we have hope for our nation when we can't even keep our own house in order, as the scripture says "First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye" (Matt 7:3).

Understanding God's timing is difficult but I do feel the Holy Spirit has been encouraging me to share with all believers to look at an 11 year time scale from now in 2022 to 2033, this is when we need to strive and keep up our part in the harvest of souls. If we succeed in doing this then we can expect to see a steady growth in revival culminating in The Grand Awakening around the year 2033, a special year marking the millennial anniversary of Christ's crucifixion, burial and Resurrection! Personally I don't think that this would be the time of Christ's second coming but how wonderful it would be to live long enough to witness The Greatest Awakening ever. Praise God!

A Tale of Two Marys

The above title to today's post is only one word different from a famous Charles Dickens novel "A Tale of Two Cities". The novel was written in 1859 and based on the events of the French Revolution in the late 18th century, the two cities being Paris and London. Although completely unintended on my part there is strangely a link between the title of Dickens novel and my post today, by reading on you will see that my reflection also balances on the politics of these two cities, not back during the time of the French Revolution but at the end of our present year 2021.

Last night as I prepared for sleep I felt unusually cold, the house was warmly heated and my family were all beginning to feel too warm! Putting on extra garments didn't make any difference, I was shaking and shivering. My condition was only temporal, I wasn't heading towards any illness and it lasted for a relatively short time, most likely I was having no more than a reaction to my third Covid vaccination, the booster. One positive thing that came out of this experience of deep chill was the consideration of those who are forced to sleep out in the open this winter every single night. We have homeless people on the streets in our cities and towns and then, I also thought of the refugees and asylum seekers who camp out on the north coast of France seeking to get to the UK at whatever cost. Pictures from news reports flashed back in my mind of the conditions they are living in and sadly the increasing number of fatalities in failed boat crossings. There is a desperation these people have to come to our land, knocking at our door but nobody answers to welcome them in from the cold. All these thoughts turned towards my evening time of prayer, I slept and then during the night I had a dream. My dream was simply an extension of all my concerns but then went further to recall two stories of two Marys. 

The First Mary 

The first story is wholly seasonal and at present is being told all over the world amongst Christians and to anyone who is open to hear the true Christmas message, it is of course the very factual account of how Mary was chosen by God to bear His Son Jesus Christ in flesh so that the world may have a Saviour. Mary is to so many an incredible example of womanhood, selfless, humble and full of righteousness before God. It is the sparse setting of an animal stable where Jesus was born. Joseph and Mary knocked on the door of an inn keeper in Bethlehem and were almost turned away as they were told that there was no room at the inn, then miraculously the inn keeper offers a stable. I can imagine the sense of God's glory that fell on that place, not only at the stable but also at the inn where the inn keeper showed such kindness. On that Holy night the stable became the House of God here on Earth, there was no turning away of the fully expectant Mary, Father God had provided a place for her to stay and to birth Jesus the Son of God.

The Second Mary

This second account is of a Mary portrayed in an old song, a popular ballad sold by song sheet sellers from the 1820's in London. The song I have rarely heard here in Britain, I was first introduced to it during time spent in the southern states of America where it is widely sung by ballad singers there. Many well known artists have recorded it including Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton, it goes by the title of "Mary of the Wild Moor". 

'Twas on one cold wint'ry night
And the wind blew across the wild moor
When poor Mary came wandering home with her child
'Til she came to her own father's door
"Oh Father, dear father" she cried
"Come down and open the door
Or the child in my arms it will perish and die
By the wind that blows across the wild moor

Oh why did I leave this fair spot
Where once I was happy and free
I'm now doomed to roam without friends or a home
And no one to take pity on me."
But her father was deaf to her cries
Not a sound of her voice did he hear
So the watch dog did howl and the village bell tolled
And the wind blew across the wild moor.

Oh how the old man must have felt
When he came to the door in the morn
And found Mary dead but the child still alive
Closely pressed in its dead mother's arms.
In anguish he tore his gray hair
While the tears down his cheeks they did pour,
When he saw how that night, she had perished and died
From the winds that blew across the wild moor

The old man in grief pined away
And the child to its mother went soon
And no one, they say, has been there since this day
And the cottage to ruin has gone;
But the villagers point out the spot
Where the willow droops over the door
Saying there Mary died, once a gay village bride
From the winds that blew across the wild moor

In Conclusion

The circumstances of the two Marys in these stories are very different but there are some obvious similarities. Both the Virgin Mary and Mary of the Wild Moor knock at doors in hope of refuge and a place of rest, and there are two father figures involved. Firstly, Father God responds to the needs of Mary and Joseph through the action of the inn keeper, and secondly, the elderly father of Mary of the Wild Moor who failed to hear her cry and tragically did not come to her aid. 

I don't believe the dream I had was just a spinning out of the thoughts and meditations I had before I slept. This goes way beyond my own thinking and I am certain there is a warning here to the leaders of nations both in government and the highest establishments of church to bow in shame and repent before God for putting politics before the lives of the innocent, those who only ask for a door to be opened providing shelter from the winter storms. By storms we can recognise that this means the political storms as well as the natural. France and Britain should stop blaming each other for this Refugee Crisis and just bend backwards to open up doors. 

Thank God, that in Britain we still have freedom to have many Churches and other places of worship, Charities, Foundations and Action Groups that can and do act as a voice for the homeless, These groups tirelessly are working to help cloth, provide food and furnishings for refugees and immigrants who have newly arrived in the U.K. Last month the government wrote an appeal to all local district councils to take on a fair quota of refugees and to find accommodation for them. At the time of writing this post only a third of councils have responded. Please pray that all councils without exception take on this responsibility to help. We too can take action and be involved, check your own council out and if they are blocking on any intake, then please write to them and ask why?  

And now finally I would like to thank all my readers a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year.

God Bless You All
