Mulberry House Christian Fellowship

I am just back from Normandy on a great trip with friends. The weekend was one of godly closure so it was sad to be saying goodbye and prophesying for the last time over folk I might not see again but also a time of joy and expectation for the future. So many are being moved around and it certainly isn’t the clear cut thing we might like it to be. Clearly new alliances are forming from the partnerships of these last years but the moves ahead are very much contested in the heavenlies and need a lot of cover in prayer. So many of God’s folk are exhausted and the enemy does not want them to get to the next stage. The call for the Body of Christ to rise up and be responsible and disciplined has never been greater. The battle to enter into that rest of the Lord in Hebrews 4 is on the line.

At home we have a visitor staying with us who prophesied over us as a community that we were faced with a jungle of impossible situations but that God is giving us weapons to make a way through. It is quite true as we prophesy jobs and finance into being. So many need the impossible of God at this hour.

ISLANDS AND MARTINIQUE

The islands are a prophetic sign to us that the end times are here. WATCH WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE ISLANDS. Martinique has seen some riots and looting on a grand scale over price rises in food. Several years ago I had a vision of such scenes and that only the prayers of the women would be able to hold back this rising tide of violence. These are not one off scenes. These situations require strategic prayer.

WATER WARS

Time to pray for the water summits  -yes Ok it seems not so important to pray for water BUT did you know ? In Damascus people are having to buy water on the black market as there has been so little rain. The summit is in Istanbul by the way. Now this might not seem much BUT last year as we prayed over the huge Ataturk Dam in Turkey on the Euphrates I saw war planes overhead in the Spirit planning to bomb dams like this one. Why ? They were angry because this dam prevents water from reaching some parts of the area and antions downstream. Turkey could actually divert most of Syria’s water by turning the tap off. Turkey sells water to Israel. Lake Galilee hit an all time low recently. Turkey is in extreme drought.
Water needs can cause wars. Just look at the wells in Genesis to see how bad it can get. Just look at the words about crossing over the Euphrates dry shod or Damascus being destroyed to see this is important.
Not in the main news BUT watch these water wars and pray accordingly.

MOUNTAINS OF TRUTH AND FOOD STOCKS FOR THE USA

You may have seen some words form highly respected folk in the USA talking about judgement, riots, fires and food shortages in many places. We need to take this seriously. We cannot afford to say it is just the USA either. It will happen in Europe too. You may well be advised to ensure food stocks BUT also be aware that God is using this time to show us huge truth mountains which are going to stand like shining beacons. Some years back I saw unbelievable scenes in the USA where so much was attacked and destroyed BUT the tops of mountains were visible and when I asked the Lord what they were, He told me that it was His truth emerging from the chaos. Ministries which are and will be shining lights will be able to save many. They will know supernatural provision at this time. The mountain tops became like beacons beaming out the Truth of John 3 v16-21. The godly foundations of the USA will be exposed even as the evil reaches heights never seem before.

Here is a corporate prophetic word  to which all our community have contributed through worship, prophetic song and a series of prophetic insights this last week which I think describes the season we go through with the Lord. Not an easy word by the way but one which can be applies to us as individuals, communities and nations.

SNAKES AND LADDERS

We were given a word about a snakes and ladders board last week. We have had lots about ladders and snakes recently as a community. The snakes are the annoying places we land just when it seems we are about to have a promotion and a way of reaching the top, avoiding much in between. The biggest snake comes right at the end just before the end of the game on the board.

Snakes:-

Represent seduction, paralysis, hypnosis, strangling, false knowledge, becoming deflected from God’s plans. You can think you are right. You can kid yourself this is godly and even advantageous for you. Just look at Genesis to find out. The snake represents wisdom – we are even told to be wise as serpents at times – BUT as in Genesis this wisdom is perverted and used to make you slip far from God’s purposes.
NOW is the time to corporately crush the heads of these snakes.

Ladders:-

Represent escape, open heavens, open doors in the heavenlies, heaven brought to earth.

We are in a place of entering open heaven but the snakes have to be defeated. It’s ALL THE LITTLE THINGS which matter in the kingdom. All the little things you did not put right are like the little snakes you meet from and recover from. BUT if you do not deal with them, they will feed on the rubbish and become BIG snakes which will cause a much greater tumble. God’s kingdom is built up too of little things we do which add up to HUGE LADDERS AND OPEN HEAVENS FOR US when we pay attention. We are about to find out like Jacob did, that when we are running away to save our skins that God was there all along but we did not recognise Him  – WE KNEW IT NOT BUT GOD WAS THERE.
GOD WAS ALL ALONG PROVIDING THE ESCAPE ROUTE WHICH WILL TIE US INTO OUR TRUE COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

TRUE TENACITY

God is telling us to let go. Oswald Chambers said that what we so often think is admirable tenacity is only a huge fear of letting go! God wants to let us go free from the systems of this world and is providing horizontal ladders across the gulf to bridge the chasm. New financial provision is on the way, new trust and new creativity BUT we have to let go of that tiny root which we cling too as our last hope before tumbling into the chasm.
Underneath are the everlasting arms – we are about to find it out!

FIERY FURNACES AND THE PHOENIX

Snakes are afraid of fire! We need to invite our snakes into the fire of God! We are after all supposed to have authority over snakes and scorpions and now is the day to start walking in that fullness.

God is walking through the ashes of your disappointments and shattered hopes with resurrection life and fire. The phoenix is a mythological bird, known in many cultures who supposedly every 500 years throws itself into the fire and lays a new egg in that fire which becomes a new bird. OK – yes we know it’s a myth BUT there is a huge redeemable truth here. Jesus is inviting us to follow HIM with our lives and step willingly into His fire. His invitation to us is beautiful. He after all was the One who did just that to live again and to redeem others through that fire. Through the fire of false beliefs and mindsets and ways of doing things, through the mess of lost jobs, financial crises and health problems. When all seems ashes and cold bleak dawns, He comes and speaks His life. There is such a call for this at the moment.

Condition! It means taking risks, being sure of who God is and of His love for us. Daniel’s friends in the fiery furnace said that even though their God might burn them up and not save them at all, the fact that they believed HE COULD was enough because they were not going to serve the king’s idols anyway.
PERFECT LOVE IS GOING TO CAST OUT OUR FEARS IN A NEW AND CHALLENGING WAY

The phoenix is not real but it DOES speak of life throughout generations. We serve a generational God who is touching your family line and bringing out gold though the fires of generations. All which had its origins in Him will be redeemed and the “snakes” which dogged the past generations are being dealt with. There are ancient mantels right now which are being passed through the fires of purification. Where it seems that only cinders and ashes remain and stories in books, those mantles are being put on shoulders today able to carry through all that God has purposed.

Our God is a consuming fire and what comes out of these fires will be fruit to carry through eternity.

With our blessings and love,
