"Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies
washed with pure water." Heb 10:22
The Sifting
I saw the Lord in a vision. He was holding a large sieve in his and hands and
was sprinkling golden powder all over the nation of Wales. The land was literally
sprinkled with gold from heaven. What is the gold of heaven? On this occasion,
the gold is symbolic of the blessed and manifest presence of Jesus Christ evidenced
in signs and wonders, the greatest of these being salvations and healings. The
gold was poured out through a sieve - sifting is a Biblical process, which releases
praise, glory and honor to Christ. I believe there are those in Wales who have
experienced sifting; it has been costly, has caused ruination to the flesh,
and is a preparation for the wonderful outpouring that is yet to come to the
land of Wales.
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had
to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith -
of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may
be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ
is revealed." 1 Peter 1:6,7
As the Lord sprinkled Wales I noticed there were particularly heavy deposits
of the gold in the mining villages and valleys although cities were by no means
excluded. As I peered more closely at the contents of the sieve, I was intrigued
by the fact that the gold was mixed with black, sooty dust. I asked the Lord
what the black substance was and he replied,
"Child, this is coal. This nation has known the cost and paid the price of deep
excavation and the personal sacrifices of mining generations past in this nation
are not forgotten by me. Many of these dear ones who gave their lives, were
God chasers. Chasing the breakthrough both in the natural and in the Spirit.
That which was mined previously in the Spirit will be poured out in abundance
again. I am redeeming and restoring their families. Where generations were once
Godly and have lost their way and forgotten their Christian roots, I am calling
them again to be a holy people. I will restore families in the next revival
outpouring in Wales. I will call whole families with a swift and sudden outpouring
of my Spirit.
Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary
I will gather folks spontaneously into buildings, some of which will be churches;
others will be in the public arena. In shops and pubs and football stadiums
I will move on my people. People will be seen on the streets travailing under
the weight of conviction of sin. I am the Father of Wales and I am calling my
people back to my loving embrace. Anointed preaching will fill schools and pulpits,
clubs and sports halls alike. I will raise up child prodigals. There is nowhere
that my Spirit will be unable to move. I will use the media to release the sound
of heaven. Ordinary men and women will give testimony of lives restored and
healed. This revival will be marked by the fact that many ordinary folks will
be used to further my glory. In me, the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.
It is by my Grace that this revival will be birthed and will remain more than
a brief visitation. It is through surrender to my Spirit and by living holy
lives that the revival outpouring will be maintained and I will make Wales a
place of my continued habitation. In the prisons and hospitals I will move with
unexpected speed and great power. Those whom society has labeled as delinquents
and dropouts, vandals and vagabonds, I will use to boldly proclaim my Kingdom.
Their testimonies will tell of my goodness and my loving kindness.
I will flood Wales with my Presence. This is a glory outpouring that no man
has engineered and all men have longed for. I am sovereign in my timing and
hold the destiny of nations in my hands. This is the time for Wales to shine
her light as a beacon of hope in the nations. This is a holy moment and a momentous
one as my Kingdom erupts like a holy virus; I will infect the people and the
land of Wales and by my Spirit they will become contagious with the Kingdom.
People will come to Wales and carry the anointing back to their respective nations.
People will go out from Wales and take this glory outpouring to other lands.
Police and politicians, children and elderly, schooled and unschooled, rich
and poor, I will touch all areas of society and heal! This revival will be marked
not only by the restoration of families but also by miracle healings.
Witchcraft Broken
I will break the power of witchcraft in Wales, along with the bondage of sin
and deception, and I will be worshipped in Spirit and Truth. The Brecon beacons
will become a source of True spiritual light in the nation as youth take to
the high places to shine my radiant Light through anointed praise and sacrificial
worship. I am raising up an army of radical worshipping warriors to dethrone
the false gods that have stolen my rightful place of adoration in the hearts
of many.
I am seeking nations who desire my continual habitation and who are willing
to pay the price of embracing the Mercy seat. I call you Wales not to a reputation
as a maverick, but to a reputation as marvelous, revealing my mighty Name and
works through servant hood and compassion. Maverick thinking could lead to a
loss of my presence, because Maverick thinking is independent thinking and I
call you to unity and blessing.
Southern Wales is a Cradle
I call the south of Wales a cradle. For Llanelli to Newport is ready and prepared
as tinder to be an ignition point for the next move of my Spirit. The cradle
is a place of desperation and holy prevailing love and prayer. A place prepared
for my fire and by my holy fire to revive the church and save the lost. A cradle
rocks and that which is established in the south will rock the globe. A cradle
is also the place where a tiny child is embraced. From this cradle my Fatherhood
will be displayed to comfort the nations and the fatherless children. Many will
find the Spirit of sonship and divine acceptance and adoption in this cradle.
It is the place of my tender embrace. The cradle is a place where the multitudes
will find salvation.
The fire will be lit in the cradle of south Wales and will go up and through
the land like wildfire. Cardigan to Pembroke will be known as a sanctuary and
a place of shelter and rest and the ancient anointings will become evident in
a new generation of monastic saints.
The fire will go up into Colwyn bay and rush into Birkenhead and Liverpool making
a massive impact on drug trafficking because of the sheer numbers of new converts
being swept into the Kingdom at this time. A mighty prayer movement will come
out of the Wirral, which will affect the destinies of nations. The fire of my
presence will be carried into the Caribbean and Jamaica will be deeply affected
by my glory. I call Jamaica from passivity into perseverance as a pioneer nation
of the Faith. I release my grace on Jamaicans to endure persecution for my namesake,
for the spirit of martyrdom rests upon Jamaica in this hour. I am even now preparing
the hearts of some of the most hardened Yardie drug lords to receive salvation.
That which the enemy has determined to relegate as rubbish for all eternity,
I will redeem for there is nothing and no-one beyond my saving grace. The fruit
of these blood washed lips will produce world class evangelists whom I will
send into every continent to rescue the ravaged of society.
Dividing Lines Dissolve!
I hear the phrase "meltdown on the borders". The national dividing lines will
become almost indistinguishable because of the Spirit of unity that will exist
between England and Wales. Cheshire and Chester will embrace the fire. Cornwall
will come into her destiny as Kingdom Celts during the outpouring of fire in
Wales. London and Wales will link up for Kingdom gatherings.
Ultimately there will also be Kingdom collaboration between Scotland and Wales
on a national Christian leadership level, however, ancient mistrusts must be
laid to rest at the Cross and new relational alliances continue to be built
upon. Ongoing communication will be essential to maintain unity between Wales
and Scotland. The enemy would seek to wreck the potential of these two nations'
unity through miscommunication and lack of communication. I have decreed that
three flames shall burn brightly as a synergy of my Spirit encompasses Wales,
Ireland and Scotland. The Celtic nations must learn to embrace each other and
to release each other. England is not divorced from this process, but must permit
the process of heavenly arbitration and council to flow amongst the Celts.
Holyhead and Anglesey are gateways into Dublin. Dublin will receive the fire
from Wales and Ireland will be ignited with a worship move that will stun the
world. Dublin will become a worship gateway to the globe. Anointed minstrels
will teach in New Millennium worship schools.
A Resurgence of Revival Anointing
I have prepared a bridge in the Spirit between Birmingham and the central belt
in Wales. In Powys and Dyfed in the southwest, many will be received in love
as ambassadors from other nations come to Wales. I have seeded hospitality in
the heart of Wales. The heart of Wales will bring connectivity to the nation
and will be a place of reconciliation and restoration.
This indicates a resurgence of revival anointing in Wales. It is not that we
are to look to the past for the next move of God, but the Lord has a way of
opening ancient wells in addition to opening new ones. We want to learn from
our forefathers and bless what God has established as Kingdom foundations through
the faithful prayers and selfless acts of our forefathers. Isaac was a man who
re-opened the wells of blessing his Father Abraham had been responsible for
digging, while Isaac also dug new wells.
"Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham,
which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the
same names his father had given them. Isaac's servants dug in the valley and
discovered a well of fresh water there." Gen 26:18,19
Resistance to the Heavenly Outpouring
As the vision continued, dust like golden rain fell from the heavens. On the
earth two people were walking along a path. One resisted the heavenly outpouring
by putting up an umbrella. The umbrella obscured this person from the golden
dust. Instead of being covered by God the person was insulated in the world
and remained blind to the blessing. I am reminded that we can only receive that
which we perceive. This is part of the mystery of the Kingdom.
Surrender to the Blessing
Another person did not resist the heavenly outpouring, but rather stood and
bathed in the golden rain falling from heaven. Blessing after blessing and deep
unfathomable joy was poured out on this willing heart. This person speaks of
those who will perceive and receive the Kingdom of God and every blessing contained
therein.
"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see
him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious
joy, for you are receiving the goals of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1:8,9
The Spirit indicated that there will be actual manifestations of gold dust and
other supernatural appearances of gold, and small gems (I see tiny rubies, diamonds
and emeralds), which cannot be rationally explained away but are an indication
of acceleration of God's Kingdom come in Wales, and a sign of the blessing and
favor our heavenly Father is releasing on the people of Wales for revival.
As I have prepared this article, a spirit of intercession has been heavily upon
me and I have been overcome with the Lord's compassion and wept great rolling
tears calling out to Father for the church and for the lost.
"Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that you loose a mighty wave of intercession
and liquid prayers that will burst the mercy floodgates of heaven open that
Jesus would be exalted in Wales and that the manifest presence of Christ by
your Spirit, would be poured out on Wales. I join my petitions to the many millions
that have gone before and ask that you would come with a visitation and habitation
of your Holy Spirit to the land of Wales again as it enters into centenary celebration
of the 1904 100-year revival. I speak blessing over the people of Wales and
ask that you use this prophesy Lord, to ignite fresh faith in a million believers
for a fresh revival outpouring in this tiny land that is a hinge pin in your
eyes." Amen
Grace and peace to you and yours.
Your sister and servant in Christ

"The Normal, The Deep, and the Crazy"
by Catherine Brown
$11.95
|
|
One would be hard pushed to find a person
who would not derive some significant enjoyment and benefit from reading
Catherine Brown's book, "The Normal The Deep and The Crazy". As the
foreword indicates, it is written from the stuff of real life. Indeed the
book is a welcome companion on our journey.
From those who have bought and read the first copies of the book, released
in May, come reports of people receiving great encouragement, fresh insights,
and a new sense of hope and purpose for their life. Avoiding any sense of
sensationalism, Catherine recalls and recounts a story of pain and humor,
trial and error, depression and joy. Every story, like every life, is unique,
yet we gain so much as we encounter a life that is shared.
Although the book does not set out to
' teach', one cannot help picking up truth, or 'seeing' old truth from another
angle. The discovery and rediscovery of God, that is Catherine's experience,
will touch your heart and challenge any temptation to settle for mere religious
observance. For too many following Jesus has become a hobby that must 'fit
in' with life.
Catherine Brown demonstrates just how close God can be to those who hear
his heartbeat and stop to listen to his voice.
For those in the late teens and twenties, this book will show how
early passion is lost through wrong choices. More importantly, Catherine
shows how 'those who hunger and thirst' will be 'filled'. There is a generation
rising up who are looking to radically pursue their God, and who enjoy and
celebrate his loving pursuit of them. Catherine Brown is a forerunner for
these extreme prayers, worshippers, and servants. "The Normal, The Deep,
and The Crazy" will serve them well.
It certainly is a good starting place. So, at whatever stage you are at
in life, this book will stimulate the memories, the mind, and the heart.
Read and enjoy.
