Mulberry House Christian Fellowship

I knew something was up when my time system started to act up. First the bracelet on my trusty, battered and scratched watch which had been climbing with me, visited many nations, left on numerous pulpits and rocks suddenly snapped. Very disorientating as I was in the middle of a prophetic weekend where I wanted to keep an eye on the time. Never mind, I was given another which I liked very much and it was doing well. When I wore it for its first visit to Israel it stopped on arrival. This time I did start to wonder what God might be doing and thought I had better listen. On getting back to England I discovered that my third back up watch had also stopped in sympathy with the other two!!
Then we discovered in Israel that this was no ordinary Passover -it was a new 28 year cycle for the Jews where they say special prayers, believing that the sun every 28 years returns to the spot it was in at Creation. God is shouting to us loud and clear.
It’s to do with the sun of righteousness too is rising with healing in his wings! We are in a time of Daniels, of judges and justice  – we have been here for some months now and we have an unusual authority to command that justice be done and that things hidden be exposed.
Use it for the media  -we can shout out that the truth is going to be shouted from the housetops. Unrighteous and biased journalists can be removed and those who are wanting to present the truth can be raised up at this time. Governments can be led to take a stand for righteousness. When God’s people demand justice expect results! You might have to wait to see the results  – Daniel too had to wait for his answer to come through – so will we but the answer is on its way!
We have been learning about deserts too – in the Negev desert.We are a bit short of sand deserts where I live in the natural ! Did you know that there is enough water underground in the Negev to last 800 years ? Getting to it is the problem. Did you know that the quality of the water there  -it’s salty – makes cherry tomatoes sweeter? Miles and miles of greenhouses in the Negev came as a shock to me but it’s true!
Anyway what does the desert mean to you? For me it’s place of stripping, it’s a place of letting God speak instead of  us yakking on so he can’t get a word in edgeways, it’s a time for prayer and drawing in to God’s heart, it’s place of military training and equipping for God’s army, it’s place of community, a place of resistance to the institutions the world and the Church have put in place, it’s a place where we make our kingdom choices for ministry, it’s a place of refuge.. It’s important! The deserts are going to blossom with communities of believers who will link up with one another in the nations and raise such an altar of perfume and praise the desert Bride will be glorious again. Israel will pioneer desert agriculture, drought and water management as never before and will actually sell some of her know how to nations which are currently her enemies. Water wars will hit the headlines big time.
Watch the Sinai  -it is going to be given back to an unwilling Israel at a future point and will be like hot potato. This area is a huge natural bridge between continents and is acting like a huge magnet attracting radical worshipers. Why? Because it’s God’s holy mountain and it still calls out. The problem being of course that it calls ALL manner of worshipers – hence the increasing number of radical terrorist groups here plotting terrible attacks on civilian populations. You might not agree with them but they are radical and they do worship. Other problem – their worship system is very legalistic. Why? The Law was given here. It affects those who come here.
What about the prophets? They too will have to run for the holy mountain to hear that gentle whisper from the Lord. There will be a rush to the desert in end times and communities rising up again in desert style. The desert move is not finished   -it is going to know it’s finest hour and complete it’s task. God is raising up a new order of Nazirites  – Messianics and Gentile believers who will form one stream eventually and complete one kingdom task.
Don’t forget to pray for Egypt  – interesting isn’t it that Egypt worshiped the sun so much ? Her national Church is rising. She will need help to deliver the multiple babies she will birth at this time. Her government is taking a stand. Her church is taking a stand. Watch the Copts rise up and fulfil their destiny. Keep an eye on the old centre of Alexandria because she will be a centre for the Lord’s people once again. Discipling, signs, wonders, revelations. A place of potent prayer and healing of conflicts in the region. Keep a prayerful eye on those who work in the hotels  -there are some radical, humble Christians here who are praying for safety in Egypt and also some other cells with quite a different agenda.

As for us here in the North East of England we are having a wonderful time in worship with the Lord. The sense of His presence is overwhelming and we don’t want to go home. The sense of oneness in Him is coming more and more clear, the need to be deeply joined together as Jesus’ last prayer for unity in John’s Gospel. You can’t artificially create unity we have discovered. We are all too different, very fiery too in our characters and prone to our own opinions! Maybe you are too! But when God comes in such love and holiness we don’t seem able to manage to talk about our own opinions any more!
Pharaoh is not keen on letting us go -some of us are exhausted with the strain of crippling compulsory shifts which leave us exhausted when we do get to our joint meetings  -or we are just being told that we have to work or lose the job. It’s not easy. The rest of us are facing unemployment with 600 applicants for one job where they can pretty much demand the hours they want. So some are exhausted and others have plenty of hours to worship God but no jobs or money either! Wow have we prayed! And bound and battled. And Pharaoh’s heart is getting harder and more unwilling to let the people go. Yet we are sure and certain that God is permitting this to shake us free from the slavery of this world’s system .We doubt the early Roman church -a bunch of slaves from all over the empire got time off on religious grounds to attend church on Sunday either from Nero ! We have a battle to win here in the NE  – we tend to get affected first by adverse economic conditions  -well we want to be the first this time to be able to speak and witness at first hand what God is doing to get us out of the pit ! If this sounds brave and dramatic to you – it isn’t! We just don’t have anywhere else to go!

God told me in Israel that he is sweeping the land with a broom of holiness  -a very appropriate picture for Israel in the process of sweeping out the old leaven for Passover. This is not just for Israel though  -this is for everbody. The religious ones will get the urge to “work harder to get holier “ and will just hate those who are not interested. This will lead to some heightened persecution but God will use this to set some key Orthodox in Israel free. The pressure will be so intolerable that they will jump to safety. Expect too the down side of this with other religions’ radical groups who will react to the broom by making already difficult living conditions even more strict and punitive in their efforts to be holy. For our group in Israel we felt this holiness of the Lord asking us to be silent and hear Him. As if so much that we had known and prophesied was irrelevant and that another time is beginning where we will not so easily prophesy without seriously seeking the face of the Lord first. Flattery, twisting the words to suit, pleasing man , our own agendas  -the Lord is dealing deeply with prophetic hearts. Awesome in the true sense of the word.

What else ? A huge emphasis on bringing a corporate prophetic word and most of us singing our words in worship. A battle over sounds and colours in the heavenlies where everyone does their part. Sometimes there are no words at all – just the sounds but we see what the Holy Spirit is wanting to do each time. We step out and then later on we get the explanation.

Watch the islands  -they are not always in our news as they are so tiny but they are a sign for End Times events . Watch Martinique and Guadeloupe  -there have been riots over food prices and joblessness and this is just the beginning. Watch Germany  -one of our community sees Germany being greatly accelerated in to God’s purposes.

Geneva has been much in the news with the walk out of so many delegates after the speech of the Iranian President. Geneva is the capital of human rights and compassion but it is only an hour away from Evian les Bains where the refusal of our nations to act to protect the Jewish people led to the Holocaust. This is a battle with Humanism and the same spirit of radical Islam which was behind Hitler. Humanism wants peace and nations to be nice and tolerant with one another. It is not going to happen  -watch now and pray to see what will happen now. Humanism has to be toppled  – it is not an option for us as sons and daughters of Zion. It can do some good works but ultimately it cannot hold back the flood of hatred in this world and it too will have to change to survive.

We are in a watershed time  – you can either retreat from here and go into your shell hoping Jesus comes back fast or see what God wants from you in this new time cycle.

I am just catching up with what God has done recently. Normandy was a joy  -we looked at changing faces of Church with a great group of folk and looked at ancient mantles which are available to us still today when we know where to look. What do we mean by this ? An “ ancient mantle “ is an anointing which drops on  a particular person or people group at some point in human history and which often does not end with the demise of those folk  -rather if we are willing to come again in centuries after we can cleanse, take on and run with what our forefathers knew but God is giving us in this day a finishing anointing to go all the way with that mantle in our generation.
Not much time before going on to St Etienne for a teaching on the importance of having a pure vision for the Lord and dealing with generational iniquity which holds our eyes captive today. First time I have taught this one but it was very illuminating to pardon the pun. Folk reported the Lord having healed painful traumas and areas where eyes had seen cruel or violent events. The Lord also told me that there are areas where the enemy has a right of passage through the generational line to pollute and interfere with the eyes. We need to go much deeper on this one .
Some wonderful understanding too of how cities interact together. Folk from St Etienne, the city of the blacksmiths and some from Toulouse, the city of communications and the heart of France came together in the Spirit. The eyes of our HEART are important  -if you hit the heart, you lose the revelation of the eyes. The blacksmiths need to put up burnished shields in front of the heart to blind the enemy and protect the eyes.
At home in Mulberry House we have been encouraged by seeing many things revealed to us being in the news. We noticed China wanting to put into the world economy huge sums of money  -very much in line with the word received that China was going to overflow her borders. The same overflowing though will bring about End Time events good and bad. This same overflowing will cause the Chinese Church to be released to her destiny like never before and bring her back to Jerusalem. That Great Wall will be breached.
We have had a few warning about rest and shifting responsibilities too. I have called it Wild Geese, Zulu Drums and Suckers   -the whole word which is a corporate one is enclosed below.

Hi to all. Here is a corporate word for you with love from Mulberry House. We think it’s for many more than us ! Be blessed and let us have your comments ! We accept comments in English, French , Italian, Russian or German by the way!!

Burdens are shifting shoulders ;

The wild geese were wiser than many of us in their V formation ! The places changed, the leaders were relieved when tired and the hurting geese were attended to. God is saying that too many are tired because of the people meant to come and relieve them not being there. This has been as much a reason for major ministries crashing as the refusal of leaders to relinquish control. I don’t know how you all of you out there operate in leadership. We are working on a wild goose pattern where the five fold ministries bring the saints into maturity. It’s hard going at times but we are getting there and the saints are being released into their anointings step by step.
Shoulders mean authority. The keys are on the shoulder of Jesus. Even the army marks rank and authority by insignia on the shoulder.
The challenge –  are YOUR shoulders ready to bear more responsibility ? If you want to grow in authority they will have to.

One of our community had a great picture of a tiny remnant of people facing a huge force of very angry Zulus. Needless to say the Zulus had the clear advantage. BUT the strategy employed by the heroes in the film was to create two waves. One line of folk would stand up and fight but would then would kneel down and rest while the second wave came to take their place. Do you see the spiritual dynamics ? A clear time for rest and warfare, intimacy and strategy coming out of that place. The saints taking the place of the weary ones.
Do you need to get down on your knees or stand up right now? !
Is your balance right?

Watch your heart!

We also had a clear picture given us of a heart which was not beating correctly. There were blockages in the arteries and the extremities of the body were turning blue from lack of oxygen. Message  -watch the state of your heart urgently ! Watch those who are isolated and are turning blue through lack of love. Watch the stress levels of your lives. Remove the blockages  – hard fat deposits build up over the years often linked to  a bad diet. What do you feed on  -physically and spiritually ? Gossip, rubbish ? Do you get  a regular work out in prayer and intercession ? Do you hold on to resentments and anger ? Do you expect to be waited on hand and foot ?
We’ll see you in the gym !

Drums  -not necessarily Zulu dawn !

We had a picture of a drum being tightened, expanded and extended before being refastened very tight. Drummers will know what we mean. The Lord is tightening us so that  A NEW SOUND CAN BE PRODUCED – yes again the Lord is interested in the sound you make.

Narrow spaces

We are coming through a very narrow gap  – one of our folk saw it – and we are moving through one by one. You are so confined at the moment with one person behind and one in front. We can support one another BUT each person has to make the decision to go through by themselves. We are again going through the eye of the needle , through the fire . Remember though that the Lord is behind this with much joy. He has a MUCH bigger place for you and that there will be a great joy in coming through. We were given  a picture of some small fish being released into a bigger expanse of water. Even the goldfish grows in comparison to his bowl ! We are being moved on into  a bigger place so that we can expand but before you can expand you have to move through  a very narrow channel to arrive in that bigger place.
Suckers on roses ;

Are you a gardiner ? I do like my roses and it is time to prune ! Do you know what a sucker is ? It is a seemingly healthy and strong shoot coming from the base of the rose which needs CUTTING OFF. The Lord has been telling me about the necessity of cutting off spiritual suckers. How can you tell the difference ? The sucker NEVER produces flowers or fruit BUT it will, if neglected take the cultivated rose back to wild, weakening it and ultimately taking it over.
Wow ! We too need to allow the Lord to prune and train us and we need to allow him to cut off those things, those relationships, those mindsets which are sucking the life out of us ! Get real ? Recognise that there are relationships and some seemingly gorgeous folk who drain and suck the life out of us and stop us fulfilling our calling.
Hard but you can’t take them through the eye of the needle.
Jesus is the true vine who has the right to cut off every single branch that does not bear fruit. Let him do it !
By the way, I think it also has to do with the mystery of iniquity. The Lord gives people choices to be pruned but when there is a creeping lawlessness and desire to do it our own way, the Lord then has to separate between His own cultivated and trained vine which takes its strength from Him and those branches which suck the life out of the saints. Very hard I know but it’s what I heard.
I’ve seen some good spring offers on secateurs if you are interested !

God wants to MULTIPLY but you have to have the unhealthy bits cut off first !
