I see bridges, I see viaducts.

The Spirit is saying, "Bridges, bridges, bridges". I am being shown men and women (although it is predominately male) who are being put in place to support the construction of the bridge. Human beings are shown in the vision as support columns.

NOT TIME TO WALK ON THE BRIDGE

I see one or two trying to walk across the bridge, but they are gently put back in place for they are needed as foundational support pillars in the nation. Those who attempted to walk on the bridge have mistaken the timing of God. It is not yet time to walk out and forget those who are still being put in place. God is preparing a bridge to revival, but the transition and transformation of the Church is still taking place.

THE MIST OF MISCONCEPTION AND UNTRUTHS DISPELLED THROUGH PRAYER AND PROCLAMATION

I see a mist falling over the bridges and the people positioned as pillars begin to blow. As they blow, the Breath of God is released, and the mist begins to clear. There are some who blow, while others have gathered around them and are either on their knees or on their faces before God, imploring Him for mercy.

The blowing is a work of intercession and the proclamation of the divinely inspired and authoritative word of God. The mist is a deception over the Bride of Christ. It represents many areas that pervade the Bride of a lack of understanding of the nature and character of God, and also the nature of double-mindedness that causes the Body of Christ to ail.

DAYS OF ISAACHAR-- A YEAR OF REVELATION AND UNDERSTANDING

Those who are pillars, represent men and women who have received divine understanding of the times and the seasons. They are able to impart spiritual understanding to the Body of Christ, because they themselves have received revelation from the Holy Spirit in Wisdom. It is a year of revelation and new levels of understanding. The people who are pillars of Truth will be used by God to dispel the mists of misconceptions and half-truths that have polluted the Body of Christ and have blinded her to the Truth of the majesty and authority of Jesus. It is time for a revelation of Christ as King, Bridegroom and Judge.

CONNECTIONS OF HEARTS AND LIVES - DIVINE NETWORKING AND APPOINTMENTS

I hear, "Connections, connections, connections". These are connections of hearts and lives and have nothing to do with status or symbol. They are not superficial connections; they go deep, as a new anointing of agape love is imparted to the Body, we are transformed into brothers in arms for Christ. This year will see many people connected in Love as they pursue the kingdom. Divine appointments and divine connections to build a network of holy alliances.

TRANSITION AND TRANSFORMATION

This is a year of transition and a year of transformation. It is a year when people will be uprooted and planted in new places. People will be installed in new positions - taking the posture of a servant. People will be transported to new places, being planted there by God Himself. These changes will take place in order that people will be in the most strategic and effective position before God, for His divine purposes to be fulfilled in the nations. Geographical boundaries will fall in the establishment of the Kingdom. Territorial greed will be exposed and overcome in Grace.

BRIDGES FROM SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, IRELAND, WALES

I see connections forming within the UK and also bridges leading out to the nations from the UK. These bridges are from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.

THE SPIRIT OF MOSES TO BE RESURRECTED TO LEAD THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE WILDERNESS INTO THE PROMISED LAND

I hear the Spirit saying, "It is time for the spirit of Moses to be resurrected, for my people have become lost in the wilderness". There will be new levels of intercession on behalf of the nations, and a new anointing for purification of the priesthood. We will see many learn the principle of intercession in the glory, and God's holy and just judgments will be averted over whole nations through this agape intercession. Those who have wandered from the Truth, will come again into the Way and many prodigals will be brought back into the Father's loving embrace.

AN INVITATION TO THE SAPPHIRE PATH OF GOD'S HOLY PRESENCE

New levels of entering into the presence of God through intimacy, worship and prayer will be released. The sapphire path is before the mountain of God's presence, and there is an open invitation for all to come,--- to all those who will not count the cost of entering His higher purposes. This is a year of surrender and of being co-crucified with Christ.

THE SOUND OF THE WARRIOR - CHRIST THE DELIVERER -- THE CELTIC NATIONS BLAZE WITH GOD'S GLORY

I hear a drum, and I see dancers dancing to a new beat. The Spirit is saying there will be a divine revelation given to the Body this year of Christ the Deliverer, Christ the Warrior King. The Celtic nations are going to blaze forth in the glory of Christ. The Celtic nations will explode in July of this year, with a holy zeal and passion. The Lord says, "I will satisfy the hungry and thirsty and I will cause those who have become callused in their greed to hunger once more for Righteousness". The drum will play an important part in the new sound of worship and the pulse it will set in the hearts of believers.

"I will release a new energy and enthusiasm for kingdom enterprise" says the Lord. "That which has been built for man's reputation will become a desolate place, but that which has been built for My reputation will stand firm."

THE FEAR OF THE LORD WILL FALL

I see an altar being rent apart by a thunderbolt from heaven, and the Lord is saying "Beloved, I require mercy not sacrifice". The fear of the Lord will fall again, especially in the Scottish highlands (not exclusively, but especially) and this will cause many to return to their First Love. The monster of compromise will be slain through anointed preaching.

PREPARE THE WAY - THE FORERUNNERS WILL PROCLAIM IT

I see a red carpet being rolled out from the uppermost parts of Scotland flowing down through the UK. The red carpet speaks of the invitation for the King of Glory to come in. "Prepare the Way" will rise as a heart's cry from Scotland, especially amongst the young adults. Many "John the Baptists" will come from the wilderness, crying," prepare the Way". "Pray for these forerunners. Many of them are young in years, but fear not their coming, they are the New Breed of Nazarite. Some of them are coming from the wilderness of rejection, while others come from near death and the chains of addiction. These are among My chosen ones. Nurture them with the Father's tenderness, for I have chosen them to walk with Me as heroes of the faith".

"This is a year of much activity. Do not despise the activities, for I am with you in all that you do. The activity is part of the preparation in the nation before the fire of My Holy Presence falls."

RIVERS OF FIRE ACROSS THE UK AND INTO EUROPE

I see rivers of fire flowing out of Ireland, I see Wales is totally ablaze and I see the Southern part of England is also engulfed in flames, with flames flowing all the way up to the Midlands and particularly across to the north east and up to the Borders.

JULY ---WITH HOLINESS AND HUMILITY

The key month for the fires being lit is July. July will see the Celtic nations ablaze with holiness and humility.

There are many rivers flowing in Scotland, I see much impurity being brought to the surface. Decades of bitterness and resentment, ages of worthlessness and rejection are being consumed in the fire of God's presence. All that has been hidden is rising to the surface, impurities are being burnt out. There is a constant river of fire flowing between Ireland and the West coast of Scotland. Also from the northern most tips of Scotland and from Shetland, Orkney, and Lewis-- the fires are flowing into Europe. From England I see a river of fire into Europe, particularly to France and to Germany.

FIRES COMING OUT OF FRANCE

"There is much of My Righteousness that will yet come out of France. Watch for the women gathering. Supplication for mercy will bring forth a harvest of young, righteous warriors. It will also bring healing to those who are war-torn and weary. Honor the fathers and the mothers amongst your peoples. Pray for unity amongst My children. Humility comes before Honor, my beloved".

REPENTANCE RELEASED AT THE ANCIENT SITE OF REFORMATION

In Scotland I see warriors (predominantly, though not exclusively young adults) gathering around an ancient well.

It is the site of the Reformation. This gathering will take place in the summer of 2001 in St Andrew's, and will release a mighty Presence of God. There will be a renewal amongst the youth and young adults. The renewal will be genuine and God-inspired through a spirit of repentance that will flood the nation. We will see young people across the nation that will step into the streets and a great outpouring of Compassion will be followed by signs and wonders in the market places.

A REVOLUTION OF PRAYER, HUMILITY AND HOLINESS

Some of the warriors have spades in their hands, but the Lord says "No, do not dig the wells at this time, just worship" and they lay down their spades and begin to worship. A beautiful spirit of humility and brokenness is released. This is a place of breakthrough. Ancient strongholds will be repented of and broken here.

There is a revolution that is coming out of St. Andrew's that is born in the throne room of God. This revolution is a prayer revolution of humility and holiness. It will not be birthed in rebellion, but in brokenness. Ancient paths of rebellion and bitterness shall be repented of and cleansed in this place. The mantle of repentance is passing from the fathers to the sons.

VIADUCTS HEAVENLY REALMS CARRY LIFE-GIVING WATER TO THE NATIONS

There are viaducts being built in the heavenly realms - bridges and viaducts. The viaducts will carry the Presence of God and His life- giving waters of refreshing, renewal and revival to the nations. The generations must work together for the completion of the viaducts. The inexperience of youth must bow to the Wisdom of elders, and the Wisdom of elders must bow the to zeal of youth. Mutual submission will complete the building work.

NOMADIC INTERCESSION

The Lord is on the move, and so are His people. He will take them from place to place and therefore viaducts will be necessary to allow the Water of His Spirit to flow. Wells will be dug when the first wave of nomadic intercession is complete. There are waves of intercession that God is releasing. Some are being birthed in the UK for the UK, while others are being birthed from the Americas, from Canada, from Europe and from Asia, India, Australia and China that will wash over the UK. The Lord recognizes and honors those who have preceded these new breakers of intercession. The men, women and young people who have sown and given sacrificially in the years that have preceded the coming Wave of His Presence are not forgotten by their Father. They must move with the new wave, in unity, the New Wine will be poured out.

The Lord says, "My Presence is a well of Life-giving Water within each one of My beloved".

PURIFICATION OF THE ANCIENT WELLS--HONORING A MARTYR

I also see people gathering in a square--- in a small town in Scotland. They are gathering to honor a martyr. Roots of bitterness and injustice will be exposed and repented of in this place. There will be a cleansing of the waters, for there have been things that have polluted the spiritual inheritance of this nation for many centuries.

That is why it is not yet time to dig the new wells, for the waters must first be purified. Once the waters are purified, then the wells will be dug. This is the divine order - purification, sanctification, then the wells will be dug. People will be on the move and then some will be called to settle and dig the wells. Some will be new wells and others will be ancient sites of revival that will be opened up again.

FROM THE HIGHLANDS-- THE CALL TO LAY HOLD OF WHAT IS PROMISED

In the Western Isles, and the western Highlands there is a cry, calling this nation (Scotland) to Christ. There is a fervency and a tenacity that is born of the Spirit, that will not let go of God until He manifests His presence. There is a new revelation of that which is yet to be taken hold of, the promises have been given from heaven, and now is the time to lay hold of what is the inheritance of this nation.

MUCH ACTIVITY OF THE SPIRIT ACROSS SCOTLAND

The east coast of Scotland will see much activity as in Edinburgh many gather to humble themselves before God and also in Stirling there will be living declarations of 2 Chronicles 7:14.

In Dundee and in Inverness-- a move of prayer will sweep the land, from small beginnings and persevering prayer from many decades past, the fruit will come forth in worship and intercession to the Glory of God.

In Dunfermline the ache of many hearts will be answered as a move of healing is released that will bring many unsaved souls into the kingdom.

Cumbernauld will also figure in the outpouring for the lost, with particular emphasis on social reform, seeing those caught in the trap of poverty and debt, the church will empty herself out as a love offering, to bring a new level of liberty to the hungry and needy.

HOUSES OF REFUGE

Houses of refuge will spring up as people open their hearts and homes to the broken, the wounded and the weary. Domestic violence both within and without the Church will be exposed, and on the west coast the Lord will open doors to reach this hidden sector of the community. There will be a new level of Grace and Divine Compassion and Discernment that will flow in these acts of Mercy. Much will be given in Love and much will be brought before the Cross by way of confession and restitution.

There will be many who are saved as the Church invades the market place - the bingo halls, the betting shops, the pubs and the Clubs.

DIVINE COMPASSION FOR THE LOST

The church will find herself compelled by divine compassion to reach out to the lost. There will be many 'novice' preachers who will suddenly take to the streets to proclaim the good news and the proclamation will be effective. This will be a sudden sweep across the UK and will catch the attention of the media. There will be some violent opposition, but the Word will be preached and with fire and Holy conviction, many will be saved.

More and more families will be saved, some in the church setting and others in the streets and in our homes as the Gospel is relentlessly preached. The momentum will gather as the generations engage in renewal through repentance prayer. Glasgow will see many mercy missions as many teams of laborers are released into the harvest fields. Homeless people will hear the Gospel and will respond, as will many social outcasts and addicts. Purity and humility will wash into the lives of ordinary men and women who have not yet seen the Light. Women will be particularly effective in preaching and reaching the lost ladies caught in prostitution and the Lord says, "Make way" for these precious souls who will in turn, lead many to Christ, when they are saved. In Stirling, the women's prison will be opened to the Gospel as there is a change in leadership internally. The church must remain vigilant for the door will only be opened for a short while. There will be a need for a heart of humility and Wisdom for this kingdom opportunity to be effective.

TESTIMONY AFTER TESTIMONY WILL BUILD FAITH

This is a year when testimony after testimony will build faith in the nation. People will turn again to the Word of God and it will impact their lives in a personal manner. Conversions and baptisms will reach an unprecedented level. Baptisms will take happen both in churches and in the ocean.

In Aberdeen the church will proclaim the Good News with great power and conviction. A new radio station will reach those at sea and on the oil rigs and many will be sovereignly touched, saved and healed (physically and spiritually) by God during these broadcasts. A great anointing will be brought by ambassadors of Christ from abroad for impartation-- and it is part of the transformation process of Scotland. Harvest nets will be prepared through this impartation. The church in Aberdeen will find herself inviting and investing in the future of the church in Scotland.

THE UNITY IN PERTH

In Perth the unity that has been modeled with such dedication and devotion amongst pastors and many believers will create a strong tower of protection against the enemy's attempts to dislodge people of influence in the nation through false accusation, gossip and slander. The sound of Righteousness will rise from the Church in Perth, proclaiming purity and integrity towards believers and peacemakers will spring forth from the heartland of Scotland to ease the church into revival mode.

LANARK

In Lanark and the surrounding areas, the ancient traditions and the new will come together as an expression of Love and unity and covenants will be renewed that will move the church into the next phase of renewal/revival. Diversity in unity will become a byword of honor amongst the churches and there will be many ecumenical services that will tear down strongholds of division and mistrust.

CHILDREN WITH GOLDEN TRUMPETS AND THE AGED WITH NEW VIBRANCY

In the lowlands and Borders there will be a move of the Spirit that will especially touch the children. I see many children positioned in the nation with golden trumpets, and they herald a new move of God in the younger generations. In Dumfries a Christian education establishment will experience the glory of revival in the children who attend their and in Gallashiels and Berwick God will visit once again with His Presence. The aged in particular will emerge with a new vibrancy in the church in these places, and the borders will become a hive of Kingdom activity as older people hear the Good News and respond to Christ. Farming communities in the borders and also in parts of Ayrshire (Kilmarnock, Kilmaurs, New Mills, Galston) will be deeply impacted by lay preachers who will literally take to the fields in the example of Whitefield and Wesley and declare God's redemption in some of the less accessible areas of Scotland. This will also take place in the Highlands and islands.

GATHERINGS IN HISTORIC PLACES

There will be public gatherings in places of historic significance, including ancient battle sites between Scotland and the nations, for repentance, reconciliation and restoration. The Scots will be joined at these sites by English, Welsh and Irish brothers and sisters and ex-patriots whose ancestors are Scottish.

NO REBELLION FOR SCOTLAND

In governmental offices there will be an attempt to lead Scotland into rebellion, but the Lord has positioned His people in strategic places around the nation to remain vigilant for such a time as this. The watchmen and the gatekeepers will hear the sound of collaboration and corruption through the Spirit's prompts. Divine counsel and wisdom will be poured on these precious individuals who will flow in the Spirit of Government that is from the Father. This is not the time for division and separation, but the time for uniting and standing together in Love. The enemy will seek to bring in many acts of injustice through the 'back-door' of government. Pray that the spirit of humanism will be broken in Scottish Parliament.

CHURCH CORRUPTION EXPOSED--RESTITUTION TO THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRED

The Lord is also going to expose areas of corruption in the Church across Scotland. The Lord is going to raise up a handful of specialists in the financial field who will be given His divine strategy for bringing the church back into Godly integrity in the area of finances, with particular regard to taxation, vat and national insurance and government funding. These men will declare "render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's" and they will speak with authority from Christ. Heaven's abundance will be opened for all those who are genuinely serving Christ, but the Lord will instruct His church that she must not pervert herself through manipulation of any financial system. Accounts will be audited by our Father and restitution will be required if people have been dishonest. For some this will be an unwitting mistake, for others it has been a calculated decision, but there is mercy for those who will repent and make right that which was stolen.

NATIONS TURNING BACK TO GOD

In March there will be significant prophetic proclamation in Scotland-- --this will come from the United States of America. April will see a turning for Scotland and in July, Wales and England will turn again to God the Father. Ireland will turn her face as a nation to God in August - all of these will be national events. September will see strategic gatherings as servants from all four nations begin to plan for the next phase of the bridge-building to revival in the UK.

Wales will go before the nations as a forerunner for revival.
