Mulberry House Christian Fellowship

I am now home after visiting Exeter and the lovely South West of England. Not so lovely at Newcastle airport as I was snowed in again. I know the Lord is talking about releasing his word form the snowy heights into the valleys but this was just another reminder for me. Typically the snow had almost gone when we finally got to Exeter four hours late.

I was reminded about the violets of Toulouse again here in Devon. Devon too has violets   – they are already in bloom in sheltered places and have huge leaves to protect them. A Devon lady gave me a bunch of them with their roots to take home. It has really got me wondering before the lord though. The violets are the colour of the tribe of Issachar. They tell the seasons and the see the signs from God. The weather station for France was moved to Toulouse a few years ago. I was told that a similar thing happened here in Devon and that the weather station is now based here in Exeter. Also there are links with Concorde here in Devon. Not a coincidence I feel. Communications, signs of the times, advance warnings, shy violets of the tribe of Issachar. Another thing about these violets – they are deep rooted and tenacious. They seem innocuous but they have a strong sense of justice and will fight for what they know to be right.
Shy violets of the Lord – it seems your time has arrived!

Back home we are looking at issues of conception and pregnancy. God is giving out blueprints and strategies BUT you have to go up the mountain like Moses did. You have to be KNOWN BY NAME before God ie you have to be humble and vulnerable enough to let Him in entirely. When you do, like Moses did, God reveals HIS NAME to you i.e. He lets you into the secret place and into his secrets. Hebrews 8:5 reminds us that Moses could only build the tabernacle according to the plan revealed to him on the mountain. We are to take care only to build according to what is revealed on the mountain. Too many prophetic words are contaminated in the second heaven because we do not go to the mountain top alone or because we listen to too many other voices on the way back down. We can build. We are the tabernacle today. We need to be careful to keep ourselves and the blueprints pure – they will be multiplied later with all they contain. People who know true intimacy with God, who believe Him on that mountain top become pregnant with his purposes. The rhema word overshadows them and events happen. The prophetic word is useless without faith which causes it to happen. We need hearts like Mary and Abraham. Time to mix your rhema words with faith!

It is time to stake your life on God being ALL He says He is. This is very different from believing for only the things you consider the right size to happen. That only allows God to be a certain size in your life – that size you can cope with. He wants to become much more to you. Start to move out as the person you are called to be – unhindered by the mindsets which block you. It might sound odd but the person with the hang ups and the vain imaginations is NOT the real you. The person you REALLY are is FREE INDEED – start behaving as though the truth HAS SET YOU FREE instead of behaving according to the lies. What do you prefer anyway? Being controlled by the truth or the lies?!

Our prophetic school was fantastic yesterday afternoon. All our kids told us what God had showed them. We don’t exclude them – they come and prophesy too. God loves it when we have a corporate voice together. No more need for competition because everybody has their bit.

Last thing – we need to watch out for some witchcraft attacks at the moment. Witchcraft is rebellion. Witchcraft is illegitimate authority. You might find others stepping on your toes or you might be getting a bit insecure and find that you are stepping on toes yourself! Watch out and stay with the Body wherever you are.

I am currently in transit between Toulouse and Exeter between snow storms and airport closures. Toulouse was wonderful – the lovely red brick city with its violets. It is a joy to meet with the Christians here. They have a beautiful gentle prophetic anointing on them so unlike the warfare of our North of England. How we need one another to rub off and soften the edges. Toulouse and the area have been decimated by high winds and many trees were brought down as a result. They had had rain for about two months and this had made the pine trees with their shallow roots very easy targets when the winds came. A sign that the Lord is wanting us to have deep roots against the prophetic seasons and storms which are on the way?
The Airbus project is well underway here  -it is not lovely in the sense that Concorde was but certainly more practical and solid.. A sign too of the need of heavy transportation and solidity ahead. Toulouse has a real anointing for communications in the heavenlies and her intercessors are working hard with her worship folk to keep the heavenlies here open and allow God’s messages to go out over the nations and to Jerusalem . Interestingly enough the weather centre  for all of France has relocated here  -a sign that these folk are truly the sons and daughters of Issachar who can see the times and the seasons. Did you know that the stone of Issachar is the amethyst ? Even the New Age use it to tell dreams and fortunes. It struck me so much amidst the violets of Toulouse that their colour is violet as they too learn to warn France of the changing weather patterns in the spiritual as well as the natural.
Toulouse has many Jews. She has known times of persecution and great turmoil. Inquisition even on a huge scale. It has brought a fear and intimidation which affects the Church today. There is an anointing to help in the aliyah yet to come and also to move in  a healing anointing in a way only hinted at in her past. A calling to be redeemed ans honed. Her light needs to shine brighter still for the nations.

And now to the lovely red stones of Exeter in Devon. From the South West of France to the South West of England. Even the earth is red here in Devon  -it reminds me so much of Adam formed out of the red earth by the Lord. Exeter is a gate too, she guards the South West. The Romans were here as were the local Dumnonii tribe. I have sense of Celtic roots not unlike ours in Northumbria, a sense of the Church here being called away from her Roman past to a deep seated desire for freedom which will be intensely liberating.

At home in the North East in Mulberry House there is a strong call for the Bride to stand up and to let the Lord cleanse her of her stains. The huge sense of shame and unworthiness has to go  – it leads us to try to disinfect ourselves and avoid the work of the Cross. An absolute insult to what Jesus has done for us. How the enemy works hard to keep us in that shame and unworthiness. It’s actually twisted pride. It’s actually like telling Jesus His sacrifice was not good enough for us  – our case is so special, our unworthiness so beyond His comprehension that we cannot stand up for Him and accept grace . And of course it prevents us standing up as holy warriors in our North East because we are still so self absorbed with our shame and hurts. Just as well the Lord is committed to our healing and deliverance or we would be overwhelmed…
