PROPHETIC REPORT ON THE WEEKEND OF 7 – 9^TH MAY

Mulberry House, Gateshead, UK

I have finally got round to writing a kind of report on the weekend! There was just so much to take into account and I am still certain that there are things left out. We loved having you all at Mulberry House and hope you had a great time in God. So many connexions were made and we will never be the same after all that happened. Thank you Lord! Many thanks to all who made the weekend a huge success – if I even try to name you all I will certainly not manage but just to tell you that you were all hugely appreciated. We only had one hitch at the end with the cancellation of one plane to Paris. The seven folk concerned got back safely the next day and we prayed that their employers would be sympathetic. It also meant that we had an extra evening with them which was great fun where some of us discovered British carveries for the first time and also that Tetley make beer as well as tea!!

Why Gateshead? Gateshead is a spiritual gate in the North and has a worship anointing plus is home to a large contingent of Orthodox Jews. We believe the Lord wanted to use these anointings to help birth a new thing in the prophetic through worship from the nations. No doubt we are not alone in doing this – each of us has to respond in our own way to the promptings of the Spirit.

THE WORSHIP

Thanks to all concerned first of all – you were just great and allowed God to use you brilliantly! It would not have been the same without you! Some songs will stick in our hearts though:-

Andy’s rendering of “What you say, I say, where you go I go” sums up what God is asking of his people at this time.

Lauren’s song of the Lord’s rising in the darkness like the eagle from the ashes brought hope to some folk in very hard places.

Ian’s song of invitation to the winds was just great – may those winds come and blow over our nations.

Egidio’s rendition of “I can fly” was brilliant on the Sunday morning – keep remembering you CAN fly no matter what the enemy and life’s circumstances say to you!

There were some unforgettable moments – my own was seeing Andy from Holy Island back to back with Tom from Bangor with their bodhrans and the rest of us doing war dances.

Who can forget the huge team up front on Sunday afternoon where we reached 107 decibels! And the miracle was that there were NO noise complaints from our neighbours – just as well that the pub opposite had a punk music event on at the same time and hopefully took some of the heat off us!

THE NATIONS

We were finally from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, France, Portugal, Belgium, USA, Italy and Australia.

We thank those who helped to translate the weekend for us – especially Amanda for the French translation – never easy at the best of times and very difficult with prophetic song. I know because I’ve done it myself and it’s very tiring!

A big thanks to all who hosted folk from abroad – we hope you stay in touch and keep the relationships going.

THE PROPHETIC THEMES

The Lord IS redeeming ancient paths for today. Why bother? Because these paths bring REST FOR YOUR SOULS – Jeremiah 6:16. We are so often stressed and driven – the Lord wants to bring us to a place where we are utterly confident in him alone. So much of modern Church has brought us to a place of doing and doing and doing… These ancient paths keep us on track, in a place of rest and hidden in God. Remember how the nations around could recognise the Jewish people – by their physical rest one day a week and by the sign of circumcision. For us also we need to be different by our attitude of rest – spiritual and physical and the consecration of our hearts.

Don’t get sentimental! It’s not about returning to some golden age which never existed. It’s about going back in time to where ancient moves of God were blocked and choked in the nations – by war, by sin, by persecution and control. We repent, turn off the tap of anything which was ungodly and release these ancient moves for today’s situation and pray that what God intended would complete its course. We are about breaking moulds and about going further that those who went before and honouring that cloud of witnesses.

We had folk share about the Celtic Christians, the Valdesians, the Huguenots and the hidden Portugese Jews. It was seriously exciting!

Of course there are new paths and new wells – there is always more but so many of the new wells are built on the old ones. We need OLD AND NEW. God is reminding us of the householder who brings out of his treasure things old and new. BOTH flow together in End Times. All the mantles and anointings are needed.

We were reminded that an old river diverted from its FIRST course always returns to its ORIGINAL course. God’s rivers have gone out from his throne room in the past and we are seeing them return to that original set purpose no matter what has happened to divert them.

(Caution! –we do not think that all old moves of God are going to be revived by the way. Some have completed their course. Some got very perverted and the good in them passes to others to complete. Ask God before releasing stuff!)

The Lord is BREAKING ISOLATION. For some of us this is a real problem. The lights all over Europe are coming on as people are getting connected with one another and sharing their insights, hearts and lives. There is a strong sense of a REMNANT coming together like the tenth in the land as in Isaiah 6. What does God do with this remnant? If we were God we would probably watch over and protect it 24 hours a day but the fact is that we are NOT God and we do not always think like him. He allows this remnant to be purged and burned and purified until they are used for his purposes. But YES I do believe he is watching jealously over every moment of what you are all going through and will not allow the fiery trials to go on one moment longer than necessary. We are to call the remnant forth, out of the caves and out of the places where they have been hiding and feeling alone. Remember Elijah? He thought he was alone but it was not so. CALL out the folk who are meant to be standing beside you.

Resist thinking you are alone because it is not so.

God is asking us to RUN WITH THE HORSES. This is Jeremiah 12 where the prophet is told to basically stop moaning and RUN. So many folk have been having visions of horses, seeing horses in fields and coming to this verse.

God is asking for VULNERABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY from his warriors. We were reminded that the ancient Celtic warriors were terrifying to the enemy because their front line fought naked and launched themselves into battle with one cry. We need to be “naked” spiritually and totally transparent before the Lord – it looks like weakness but in fact is a great strength. The front line of the Lord will be vulnerable but terrifying to the enemy because of their total commitment to the Lord and to one another.

A new thing is happening in the prophetic – Jesus is showing us HE IS THE WORD. It is not going to be just about bringing a word or giving a word but about us experiencing him as THE INCARNATE WORD OF GOD. Rev 10 has John hearing that he will prophesy again over nations and kings – the Angel of the Ocean and the Land appears at times of change I believe. We are going to prophesy in a new way. Part of the call this weekend was to pray that in through the worship.

There is A NEW SOUND in the air. Alan brought us a taste from heaven with his sound – it was doing serious stuff in the heavenlies!

We are to be a HOLY PEOPLE. God is not messing around these days. We are not to be religious and driven in our efforts to disinfect ourselves! God is wanting us to develop discernment to SEPARATE THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE in the prophetic – Jeremiah 15:19. This takes wisdom from heaven. The prophetic is being cleansed as never before and it is largely invisible. Several folk had these words and also pictures of NEW GARMENTS AND TURBANS being given out. God wants a race of Nazirites ready for him to use.

OLD ANOINTINGS ARE BEING STRIPPED OFF. We may feel vulnerable and useless for a while but God needs us to be stripped right down in order to anoint us again for TODAY. The anointing that carried you through yesterday is not going to help you today. We are COMING THROUGH THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE AND WE ARE BEING SQUASHED AND SHRUNK AS NEVER BEFORE.

Many have been in a desert place for what seems like an eternity. The desert is NOT A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. It is the NECESSARY DIVINE PREPARATION FOR YOU TO MAKE KINGDOM CHOICES, TO FACE GOD AND YOURSELF ALONE AND TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY.

The accuser is about to become the accused. The tide is turning for God’s people.

We had a picture of the Church as a ship being harassed by the enemy suddenly turning into the wind and ENGAGING THE ENEMY.

We are being given a heart for the nations. This weekend it was to do with Israel and Europe. No doubt there is more. We had prayed about the dates for this weekend months back – we ended up seeing that we were to pray for EUROPE as the 8^th May saw the beginning of the liberation of Europe. Even as we tried to pray for our particular nations it became impossible. There was just no anointing on it. God wanted us to pray for EUROPE. To go beyond our nations, ourselves and all our agendas to see what He is doing in Europe. His ways offend us greatly somebody sung at the weekend – how right that is!

The UK had just had elections and the result was far from clear. Technically we had no government in the UK at this time. The volcano was deciding whether to spew out more ash and steam. British Airways were deciding whether a strike would add to the general atmosphere. We realised we had been given a GATE IN TIME AND SPACE. Everything seemed up in the air. We had to pray only God’s will into the airwaves at this time and HIS GOVERNMENT.

GOD’S EUROPEAN UNION – AIRBUS OR THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX?

We were given a picture of the new airbus being launched out from Toulouse. Our nations all have a part to play in its production – fuel tanks, interior design, wings, body etc. We felt that God’s European Union was also being put together with prophetic people like ourselves coming together. I don’t know if you have see the film of another aeroplane story – the way a group of selfish and greedy individuals whose plane is wrecked in the desert. They cannot navigate. They do not know for sure where they are. Rather than die a slow death from thirst and hunger they use the remains of the plane to build a new one. It is very fragile, very desperate and very unlikely. It depends on team work and chance. It is a matter of life and death. I have a sense that this NEW THING  the Lord is birthing will be like this – risky, fragile but teamwork from his people making a thing of great beauty in the Lord’s eyes.

Nobody can have missed the activities of the Icelandic volcano at this time. Iceland is a crossroads past, present and future. Our eyes were on the North. We are in a season when magnetic north and true north coincide. A time for making decrees and proclamations. A time for repentance and for realising God is in control – not us!

Throughout the weekend the Lord caused us to prophesy and reflect on the volcano.

A shaking and an exposing of the foundations of the nations and of the earth itself coming from the North. We were reminded of Jean Darnell’s prophetic word about the move of God to come through from the North, down through Scotland and over to the Continent. This has yet to see its fulfilment. It seemed to us that this eruption marks a step towards this coming move of God.

Psalm 48 talks about Mt. Zion on the sides of the earth. The north is the place of warfare, where Satan has his seat but also refers here to Mt. Zion “ Fair and beautiful in elevation is the joy of all the earth Mt. Zion on the northern side.”  This volcano did more than scatter the ships of Tarshish mentioned later – it caused millions to be lost and the kings of the earth were most definitely perturbed! We did feel the Lord was judging and warning the nations and their economies but there are several levels of prophetic here and all are valid. No one has all the picture.

For the UK I felt that the Lord was telling us to forgive tiny Iceland her debt caused in the recent financial upheavals from bad borrowing resulting in the crash of the Icelandic bank. Just as the debtor who is forgiven by his master, we need to see that if we do not show mercy it may well be that the UK is put into a position where we are asked to repay our huge debts – it would cripple the nation.

We were also told that the British Isles will willingly be the servants of Europe and wash their feet. This is our destiny and one to be embraced. It means a humbling of ourselves and an acceptance of a calling we have lost over the centuries.

70 years ago ash was coming from the Holocaust and the ashes of Jewish victims were being buried. We need to see that the date is not a coincidence any more than May 8^th. Nations concerned need to take note of those ashes and their treatment of God’s chosen people. God has not forgotten.

The word of the Lord is being melted from the ice and snow and running down into the valleys. “He sends out his word and melts ice and snow; He causes His wind to blow and the waters flow.” Psalm 147:18. The Lord is showing us that his word is melting the glaciers and running down into the valleys – nothing stands in the way. Bridges, roads, infrastructure were all swept away. I had a sense of those saints in the past who had pioneered and prophesied into this North. As if their words were held for us today in ice, waiting for the right time, for the fire of the Lord to come and MELT THE ICE TO BRING GODS FIRE AND THE FULFILLMENT OF THEIR WORDS DOWN TO THE EARTH FOR TODAY. A sense too that the SONGS OF THE LORD ARE ALSO BEING RELEASED FROM THE ICE BY FIRE AND IMPACTING THE EARTH. The enemy has tried to stop these words coming forth but it is a NOW TIME and he cannot stop it any longer.

The forges are open. Fire is coming forth. Lucifer once walked among the “fiery stones.” There is a RELEASE of new sounds, worship, gifts, revelations, treasures of all kinds which have been released as our rightful inheritance. It is as if the earth itself is being obliged to release these things for God’s people. This is a more positive side to the eruption which we are still pondering.

There was SO much more over the weekend but it would be a book if any more were written down!

Where do we go from here? We know there is more and we are praying on another event as soon as God says.

Many Blessings

Anne Griffith
