CROSS FELL MAY 2009
Cross Fell is the centre of the UK geographically speaking and as such is very strategic. It is the highest point in the Pennines and has views over to the Lakes, Yorkshire, Cumbria and many other places on a clear day.
Our interest on this occasion was to pray over the watershed here located a few minutes down from the summit of the fell. Here the streams either run into the Irish Sea on the west or the North Sea on the east. The Tees and the Eden both start their respective journeys here. We also wanted to pray for East/West relations in the UK and abroad and to pray for spiritual authority in the airwaves over the area. There is a radar station on the top of Dun Fell just opposite on a clear ley line with the summit of Cross Fell.
On the summit we prayed for God’s new season of righteousness to appear – this Passover started a new cycle of 28 years of the sun. Jewish people believe that this was the same position the sun was in at Creation and also at the Exodus from Egypt. This new period marks the time when the Messiah is to return. We prayed to be aligned with Jerusalem and Israel and that there would be change as the sun of righteousness himself begins to rise over the UK.
We felt much new age influence in this area and prayed to take authority over the mixture coming in. A family group from the local area arrived at the summit at the same time as us and began to talk about the education system which is distinctly confused in their local school in matters of religion! There was a feeling of staleness over the immediate area so we prayed that the winds would blow away stale air in the dark corners. A feeling too that this was for churches and for local government.
We prayed for joy to come too on the airwaves and into the hearts of the people of the area. It feels as though much has been robbed and stolen in this area and that people do not know the joy of the Lord at all.
At the watershed line we poured out salt for cleansing of the waters and for a new season to come in the Spirit. As we prayed opposite the radar station here we saw a glider overhead and felt to pray for God’s people to be able to soar on the winds of the Spirit. We prayed for the watchmen and sentinels to be like stealth bombers in the region and for the watchmen anointing to increase. Just as the radar station is supposed to alert the nation’s security systems of intruders we prayed that in the Spirit there would be plenty of watchmen to pick up in the natural realms and in the spiritual any threat and danger to the land. We also prayed to expose sin in high places and to take authority over twisted and perverted communications. We prayed that the ley line would be broken and that the enemy would not be able to pervert and twist and manipulate communications. Thee was also a feeling that the watchmen in the radar stations were missing many things – change is needed here too.
On the way down we met a lady who said she had heard music. We had been sounding the shofars and singing as we went but we felt there was also angelic help. The banners are just beautiful in the open air – we used the joy banner, the wild geese and the goose flying out of the darkness into the light.
We have asked for some signs to encourage us in what we prayed – keep your eyes open because God likes to surprise us!
Many blessings
