Revival 1

I’ve lived through, joined in with over 40 years of praying for Revival. Now as I approach my 75th birthday I wonder why, in the U.K, not much has happened since the Hebrides Revival in the 1949! Perhaps mention should be made of the little known Newark Revival of 1948-9 and God’s chosen instruments Henri & Connie Staples, who had a vision for a general Revival and refused to found a church. Stories have been told, books written and videos made. Many people have soaked these up but nothing much has changed. Many Churches are shrinking while some new works gather the enthusiasts who move around seeking but never finding a special anointing.   Revival has been reduced to occasional lively meetings where extravagant prophesies are made based on these old stories. No-one has taken those prophesies and reorganised their program in expectation / anticipation of a positive fulfilling of them! Among the prophecies have been visions that the Lord will raise up fresh ministers of the gospel

A terrifying though on Covid19 part 2

I am relieved to report to you the good news that my leg is not healed so the future of the pandemic is not as I foresaw yesterday. I can’t tell you how relieved I am that that thought was a delusion a product of living alone. I spent time yesterday praying for this outcome. Now I ask you to redouble your efforts to pray for the healing of my leg. I made a number of bad decisions, it turns out there is a bus to get to the clinic and my leg really does need to be dressed. I think I actually need a companion nearby who could help me make decisions and live right. So also please pray that our Father finds me a companion soon. Amen. 

A terrifying thought on Covid-19 and God

I have persistent sores on my leg: the Lord has drawn my attention to Luke 16:20-31 and Revelation 16:1-11. Sores are a consequence of wrongly directed worship and refusal to relieve the suffering of the poor. If any of you know where I have wronged God in these ways please tell me, urgently. I have never claimed to be perfect but repentant and forgiven. … … … Perhaps these persistent sores are a terrifying word of knowledge; suggesting that today despite all of God’s efforts in inspiring and sending prophets, many people inside and outside the Church are refusing and will continue to refuse to change their thinking and behaviour and take God into account; therefore their destiny is eternal suffering! If this idea is correct the sores on my leg will heal in the next 24 hours and Covid-19 will continue to mutate causing an unforeseeable growth in the number of people suffering and continuing to ignore God as their creator, Jesus as their only Saviour and Lord and the Holy Spirit as the

On being ignored & rejected by Churches

I don’t know another way of saying this. In Matthew 12:20 Jesus quotes Isaiah 42:3 ‘A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.’ As you have nearly broken me and nearly quenched my vision I guess nothing in your attitude to me has been from the Lord. I really wonder how many other people have been treated in a similar way. How many more people God anointed and envisioned who have then been judged and rejected.  During the past 3 years or so many ministers & elders have ignored or rejected me or my vision of a rediscovery of Jesus healing ministry across the Churches. My pre-pandemic timing fitted perfectly with the advance of Covid19 across the world. We could have been ready to heal the sick and teach the worldwide Church to do the same but you ignored me and therefore the Spirit of God. It turns out that circumstances suggest that my vision was a part of God’s compassionate preparation for the assault he knew the e

Masham, North Yorkshire, England

David Willows  David Willows tells us on Facebook that the Masham Churches are praying for their neighbours to know Jesus as their Saviour and Friend. These thoughts may or may not be a help.  I’ve been a part of praying along these lines for more than half of my 70+years. My observation is that I cannot remember anyone praying what might I change in myself and my group to help my neighbours to faith. Effectively that begins with praying Revive me O Lord as in Psalm 119:25 ‘My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.’ Or Psalm 119:40 ‘Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.’ Among city pagans Sundays are taken up with family matters, they require meetings at other times of the week. I personally would target retired people who have midweek afternoons to while away. These folk could then become family and neighbourhood intercessors and bring influence to bear across the generations.  You see we need follow the advice of the prophet Elisha in

Belonging to a Church

I write from the U.K. as generational Christian and retired ordained minister of the CofE, as a Born Again Christian, as a Spirit Filled Christian. As a constant searcher for the Kingdom of God. As a divorced male who has yet to find a welcome in any congregation or denomination here in our West Midlands.  From my search for a spiritual home I observe the church even the evangelical church is disjointed, fragmented and disrespectful of fellow Christians. In the struggle to believe in the existence of God, the reality of the fight against his enemies is forgotten.  In their desire to grow many churches have forgotten or are ignoring the Biblical understanding that outsiders are slaves of sin and therefore the devil with hearts of stone. The way into the household of faith summed up as being born again, that is through renewal of the mind and receiving a new heart and a new spirit, ah personal repentance or change of mind and lifestyle.  Not only do I not know which Church to align mysel

God loves & trusts me, why don’t you?

There’s a scripture that says God can do more than we desire or imagine! Ephesians 3:20 NIV Well this weekend He has done just that for my friends and I. Isaac & Ellie planned a day trip on the steam train from Porthmadog to Caernarfon and back as a birthday gift to me. They booked two cottages, the first cottage was splendidly isolated with an hour drive to Porthmadog. Isaac was inspired to take a stunningly beautiful even breathtaking drive back through the Snowdon foothills. Then on Sunday we moved on to a second wonderfully remote cottage which is so dark and quiet with no light pollution to spoil the view of the night sky! Made me think of this from Psalm 19:1 NIV “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” It has been the best weekend of my recent life, I am truly blessed and favoured, I reckon the end of my waiting and seeking for the Kingdom of God is close and this has been a wonderfully timed gift from God through my adopted grandchil
