"PROPHETIC INSIGHTS FOR 2008"

Joshua Apostolic Prophetic Network


Home Central


***


Dear Joshua family subscribers and friends:


Today, i am sending out to you some great prophetic insight that just came in from the ministry of Matt Sorger. Last year, we posted the "2007 Word" that Matt sent out, and i have included a link here in his article for easy access, so that you may go back and review it again.


God is most definitely bringing a love-test upon the Body of Christ this year, and each one will be tested, as a challenge to grow in love and to become more Christ-like in our lives.
We must be willing to lay down our lives for Him, (and for the brethren as He tells us in His Word to do), if we are going to make a real difference, and to leave a mark on this generation.


God gave His very best for us, and we must be willing to give our very best back to Him in the way that we live our lives, and in sharing God's love towards each other. Anything less than that, only shows that there is a faulty foundation.


The only way to prove and show otherwise, is to return to our first love, which is our relationship Christ, to obey His commandments, and to walk and abide in Him daily. And this is what He calls all of His people to do without exception.


So, please not only read the article, but also ponder what the Lord may want to say to you personally, as an individual in this. It is not a message meant for someone else, but is especially given for the corporate Body of Christ, which means that it is for anyone who is a true Christian, wherever they may be.


May you be challenged, strengthened, and encouraged through todays message. ~ L.D. Oxford

"12 PROPHETIC SIGNPOSTS FOR 2008"


~ By Matt Sorger


Resources: mattsorger.com/



As I have been waiting on the Holy Spirit throughout the month of January I have been processing in my spirit several prophetic themes. The listing below includes many of the things Holy Spirit has been stirring in my heart as we move into 2008. I also feel that some of what I shared for 2007 is still being carried over into 2008 and has not reached its full development.


I encourage you to also read our 2007 article to continue to lay hold of the Father’s heart for this generation of believers and for your life personally. Take some time to meditate and pray over the Key Scriptures included with each prophetic highlight. I pray these words are a blessing to you.


(The link to the 2007 article given last year: click here )


1) God is about to invade His church. Jesus is inspecting His Father’s temple. Some tables are going to be overturned this year. Don’t be dismayed when you see this happen. It is the hand of the Lord.


God is refining the inward motives of the heart. Any work done with a selfish, self-seeking motive will not survive the refining fire. Key Scriptures: Mt 21:12; 1 Cor 3:13, 4:5


2) God is calling the church to return to and re-strengthen the foundations of our faith and personal walk with Him and our ministries. A refining fire is coming and anything not built on a foundation of love will not stand the testing.


God is inspecting our works. He wants work motivated by first love, not empty activity. Some lamp stands will be removed this year. Anything not built on love will be shaken. Key Scripture: Rev 2:4-5


3) There will be many "love-tests" this year. People will be given opportunities to grow in true Christ-like love. God will allow moments of difficulty and challenge to teach us to walk and live in love.


He is taking us deeper into the gospel of the Kingdom, which is to love God with all our hearts and to love people. God is really bringing a revival of true heartfelt love. God wants to invade whole cities and regions.


The key that will unlock cities and bring a move of God like the Welsh Revival of 1904 will be a revelation and reality of Kingdom love. Key Scriptures: 1 Pet 4:12-13; Mt 22:36-40


4) New ministries will be birthed this year. There will be another wave of launching ministries. God has been laying foundations and now is the time to take action and step out into the fullness of the call of God. Some "good things" will have to be let go of in order to lay hold of God’s best. It truly will be a season of "new beginnings" for many. Key Scripture: Gen 12:1


5) The apostolic mandate will continue to mature and come into greater manifestation this year as the church is "sent by God" into the marketplace, highways and byways to see the gospel of the Kingdom advance forward.


There will be a fresh emphasis on souls, church planting and discipling new believers. We will see a new wave of evangelism released through apostolic order. God is stirring the body to aggressively pursue creative miracles and deliverance.


Look for opportunities for God to move outside of church meetings. If you make yourself available He will move in the most unexpected places. Key Scriptures: Luke 14:23; John 1:6-8


6) God will reveal to the church the true prosperity of the Lord. Any prosperity preached with a motive of greed and selfishness will be shaken down so the true prosperity of the Lord can shine forth. Only God knows the motives and intents of the heart. We must be careful not to prematurely judge people or ministries. Let God be the judge.


God is refocusing our understanding of biblical prosperity with the truth that we are blessed so we can be a blessing to others and advance the Kingdom of God in the earth. (Remember, prosperity is more than just finances.


It also includes divine health, healing, protection, forgiveness, grace, joy, peace, and much more.) God will continue to anoint people with creative business ideas for supernatural wealth to help fund the end-time harvest. Key Scriptures: 2 Cor 9:6-11; Isa 60:11.


7) Foundational truths will be emphasized by the Holy Spirit, including the blood of Christ, the cross of Christ and salvation through repentance of sin. Key Scriptures: Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; Gal 6:14


8) God is causing us to inspect and re-strengthen our foundation so He can bring multiplication and increase. Anything done with a pure motive and built on a foundation of selfless love will see a wonderful multiplication and increase this year. That which has a solid foundation will be multiplied in 2008.


9) God is teaching His people how to operate in dominion from a position of rest. We must know how to use governmental Kingdom authority from a place of resting in Christ’s finished work. Both dominion and rest are being highlighted by the Holy Spirit.


This dominion will cause the enemy to be displaced out of the land of our inheritance so that we can not only possess but be multiplied in that land. Key Scriptures: Col 1:13; Josh 6:1-2, 15-16.


10) An apostolic shift of focus is coming into how we view the "church". God will continue to give us understanding into the practical functions of the apostolic. God is shifting the vision of leaders beyond their own kingdom onto His Kingdom.


A baptism of love will cause leaders to understand "the church" is not just their local congregation, but it is the corporate body within that city, nation and world! Greater expressions will be given to the corporate church. God wants leaders and churches to have a heart for one another.


God wants to invade, awake and transform whole regions and cities. Apostolic leaders will be raised up transforming local churches into holy habitations of God’s glory that release the body of Christ into greater fullness and manifestation.


Pastors and other five-fold ministries called to the apostolic will continue to shift this year in their vision and function. Some churches will make the transition from "local church" to "regional apostolic centers".


Through the apostolic we will see a greater merging together of the prayer movement, evangelism and church planting. The prayer movement and power movement will come together in a greater way.


11) This will be a year of understanding God’s great grace on many levels. We will hear a lot about grace, faith and love. Key Scriptures: Gal 5:6; 1 Tim 1:14


12) Those with media mantles given in 2007 will see an increase and expansion in the media in 2008. God and His current day move will be seen on both Christian and secular television. God is invading the airwaves with His glory. We will also see the "face" of Christian TV changing.

A PROPHETIC CALL OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN LEADERS

Joshua Apostolic Prophetic Network


Home Central

Dear Joshua Family Subscribers and Weblog readers:


Today, i am sending out to you an important word and some meeting information from Lou Engle, which i strongly believe that we should stand by and show support towards. If any of you are able to go to the "One Thing" Conference at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, i would encourage you to do so.


If you are not able to go, you may watch it online by internet on God Tv or on Direct Tv (channel 365) broadcasted across North America. For more info. you may go to http://www.god.tv/ or http://www.ihop.org/ for a list of program times and schedules .


In closing, my hope and prayer for all of you today, is that you, and your loved ones have the best holiday season ever, and a happy new year. God's love and blessings to all of you!

(From: Lou Engle, Mike Bickle, Eddie James & Will Ford.)


"A PROPHETIC CALL OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN LEADERS"


Join 20,000 young adults on Friday, December 28, 2007 at 7pm, central time, at IHOP-KC's "onething" conference where Lou Engle, Eddie James, Mike Bickle, Will Ford and others will share a significant prophetic word calling forth African-Americans to the place of leadership in the coming move of God in this nation.


If you are not able to make this gathering at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, you can watch it LIVE on GOD TV (channel 365 on DirecTV) or by internet (for more details at http://www.ihop.org/).


Over the past few months and days, the Lord has made it clear through many prophetic words that--now is the time to call forth a new breed of leadership in the prayer movement that will come from the African-American and Hispanic communities. While this movement of prayer, fasting and revival will be made up of millions of believers from all the different ethnic groups, without a doubt, African-Americans and Hispanics will be raised up as the very tip of the sword to release revival to this nation.


The Lord has made it clear to us that African-American believers have a divine prophetic assignment of leadership in the next great move of God in our nation. We believe that the fullness of blessing to the Church in our nation will only be released as the leadership in this prayer movement is established in divine order.


Even now, Jesus is establishing His government in the Church in this nation where He is raising up young "Davids" from the African-American and Hispanic community to lead an emerging movement of worship and prayer. Only when the Church begins to recognize the sovereign place of leadership that God has given to African-Americans and Hispanics in this nation--will we begin to see our inheritance in God multiply together.


"GOD'S PURPOSES FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN THE END-TIME PRAYER MOVEMENT"


In 1983, Bob Jones prophesied to the future leadership of IHOP-KC that the beginning breakthrough of revival in our nation would only come when African-Americans were functioning in their God-ordained role of leadership in the prayer movement.


Then earlier this year in October 2007, Bob again prophesied of a harvest of individuals coming from the black community, particularly from the young--who would be thrust into an accelerated mode of training to function as prophets to the nations with an emphasis of leading in prayer and prophetic worship.


However, statistics reveal that militant Islam is beginning to target the African-American community in this nation with a vision to convert young black men and women and train them to begin to lead Muslim houses of prayer. Yet even now, the Lord is rising up a true worship and prayer movement in this nation, led by African-American leaders, to contend with every other house that would challenge the Lordship and Supremacy of Christ.


We believe that the Lord will marry the different ethnic groups and movements of prayer together--resulting in a synergistic power of the Holy Spirit--that will break the power of the culture of death in our nation. God is calling for an exodus out of the Hip Hop culture (whose spiritual roots are found in black militant Islam and Rastafarianism) and into the true prayer movement. However, we do believe rap and lyrical prose, different from the culture of Hip Hop, will be used by the Holy Spirit as a dynamic art form and tool of communication in the new sound being released from Heaven.


In Exodus, the Lord delivered Israel from Egypt through Moses after 400 years of slavery and oppression--that they might worship God in the wilderness and fulfill their destiny to lead the nations in worship. We believe the Lord also delivered (and is still delivering) African-Americans in this nation from slavery, racism and oppression--for the redemptive purpose of raising up a prophetic people that would bring deliverance to this nation even as the enemy comes in like a flood.


Thus, on Friday evening, December 28, 2007 at 7pm, central time, join Lou Engle, Eddie James, Mike Bickle and Will Ford at Bartle Hall in Kansas City or via God TV or via IHOP.org as we pray for the full release of God's mantle of leadership on the black community.

DOVES EYES:

"THE PURE IN HEART WILL SEE THE BEAUTY OF JESUS"

~ By Rick Pino

Fire Rain Ministries

Resources

"I am about to release the full revelation of My beauty to anyone who would be willing to allow it to steal their gaze." This is a quote taken from a word I released in September concerning the unveiling of Jesus‘ beauty. The difference between then and now is that, He is not just "about" to release this revelation, He is doing it right now!

"SO HOW CAN WE SEE HIS BEAUTY?"

The pure in heart are the ones who see God, so the pure in heart are the ones who will see His beauty! The pure in heart have what Song of Songs calls, "Dove’s Eyes".

In Matthew Henry‘s beautiful commentary on the Song of Solomon, he states, "Christ sees His fair ones as ones who have not the piercing eye of the eagle, but the pure and broken eye of the dove, not like the hawk, who, when he soars upwards, he still has his eye upon the prey of the earth, but a humble modest eye, such an eye as discovers a simplicity and Godly sincerity and a dove-like innocence, eyes enlightened and guided by the Holy Spirit."

"TO HAVE THE LOVERS GAZE, OR DOVE'S EYES, MEANS THAT YOUR HEARTS PERCEPTION IS TOTALLY FIXED ON HIM AND HIM ALONE."

It means, you are inflamed with holy love and desires toward Christ, with joyful expectations of His glory to be revealed! The amazing part is, you become like what you look at! That’s right! What you look at is what you start to look like! We learn foundations for this principal from the story of Jacob’s cattle in Genesis chapter 30.

"THE MORE WE LOOK AT JESUS, THE MORE WE ARE FILLED WITH HIS BEAUTY!"

The more we are filled with His beauty, the more we actually become the manifestation of this word I released in September! We literally become the revelation of His beauty to the world! If we stay under the ocean of His beauty, we act as a mirror that reflects His beauty into the earth.

"WE MUST FIRST SEE HIS BEAUTY SO THAT THE WORLD CAN SEE HIS BEAUTY!"

So lets continue to cry out for purity of heart! Lets keep contending for purity in our motives, in our desires, in our ambitions, in our sexuality and in all other areas of life because as we do, we open wide the gates of our soul for the King of Glory to come in and invade our hearts with His glorious beauty!

Psalm 90:17 "Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands."

God’s tender blessings to you and your loves ones this Holiday season from all of us here at Fire Rain!

"ALL CREATION IS GROANING FOR A NEW BIRTH!"

~ John Mark Pool

Word To The World

Resources

"For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." Romans 8:22

"2008 IS A NEW YEAR WITH A NEW BIRTH! YET WE MUST BRING IT TO PASS."

Women understand this more than men because they carry the process full term. All creation depends upon us in the birth chambers of intercession to bring this light of the world into existence on the earth as it is in Heaven. We can do this! Our time is now!

Sin will never have the last word. God made the earth as a habitation for His people. The occurrence of sin brought on decay and disturbance of purposes. "The Heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine: as for the world and the fullness thereof, Thou hast founded them." Psalm 89:11

God, The only Creator, will one day redeem His people (those who are in Christ Jesus) and the earth. Paul personified the elements of nature as looking forward to deliverance the same way that Christians anticipate our glorified resurrection body.

The same Holy Spirit that brooded over the waters in creation (Genesis 1:2) has been given to Christians as a foretaste and assurance of the glorious hope that awaits us. We can live with joy, assured that we have a wonderful expectation awaiting us. That hope includes a new, transformed world, which will again pass God's examination as "very good" (Genesis 1:31).

"AS FOR NOW, HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT ALL OF CREATION THAT WAS MADE BY THE MOST HIGH GOD -- IS GROANING FOR MANY REASONS."

This is the season that coincides with the celebration of the birth of the Savior of the world. Mary was anticipating a birth that would cost her everything in reputation; and yet it would gain her place in the Kingdom as she willingly became the host of Heaven's pledge to regain all of the lost humanity that would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord.

Those who know of the witness of Christ but have continually rejected Him, as THE ONLY Savior of the world, will begin feeling this season of anticipation causing them to groan in desperation for an answer. We are that answer, yet the world must be brought to a stage of acceptance either by their willingness or by increasing disasters that will certainly increase each year.

The physical earth has been terribly abused and is reeling with the pangs of the anticipation of the new birth of the new Heavens. You do not sow into destruction of God's created earth without reaping certain natural disasters. Calamities will surely increase each year until we understand that God is serious about His creation.

"THE BIRTHING TIME IS NEAR!"

Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 66:1-2, "Thus saith the LORD, The Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word."

God made it all for us to bring Him glory in our multiplication process. We are the ones that have been assigned the Kingdom dominion process. We are not waiting on God--He is waiting on us.

"THIS NEW BIRTH IS DEPENDING UPON OUR ACTIONS NOW."

"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God." Isaiah 66:9

God is waiting on our intensity of pressing into the birthing process of something that all creation is groaning over today! Will we hear the pangs of the new birth? Will we stand in a gap and make up a hedge?

It is not depending upon church size, church affiliation, days of the week of attendance, or names. The new birth of the Kingdom that is now coming in this earth as it is in Heaven, depends upon the people of God staying in the birthing chambers of intercession and being consumed by the Father in a holy desperation for something we have been promised--since creation!

"COME ON, PEOPLE OF GOD! DESPERATION WILL INDEED PLACE A DEMAND UPON OUR DESTINY!"

ALL CREATION IS GROANING!

"CARRIERS OF THE GLORY"

Excerpts taken from:

(Dancing With Destiny: Awaken your Heart to Dream, to Love, to War)

~ by Jill Austin

Resources

Explosions of glory! The tangible presence of the Holy Spirit! This time it was not just I who was overshadowed but all 120 of us. Tongues like fire fell and we were gloriously baptized in the Holy Spirit.

We were so excited. We gave ourselves to prayer night and day, sharing all we had, and loving each other so much. We grew from one hundred and twenty to three thousand to five thousand.

Signs, wonders and miracles followed as we told everyone about Jesus. It should be easy to grow the Church until we see Jesus coming again in the clouds.

They were baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the Church was set ablaze. They received the gift of tongues and the courage to be radical and passionate lovers of Jesus Christ. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was, and still is, a ministry of multiplication, intimacy and partnership.

When the Holy Spirit moves through us, it is not just for our benefit. He wants to bring conviction, salvation, healing and deliverance to suffering humanity.

"LIFE WAS ANYTHING BUT EASY FOR MARY AND THE EARLY CHURCH."

Persecution scattered the believers, resulting in the spread of the Gospel to other nations. Mary's journey on earth likely continued through seasons of revival and warfare-cycles of life and death maturing her toward bridal love.

Our passionate, lovesick Bridegroom wants us to be His Bride and love Him wholeheartedly-not just when we finally see Him face-to-face, but throughout this perilous faith-walk on earth. As we peer into the glass darkly we sometimes see so little of Him that we grow discouraged.

Beloved, never let your heart grow faint. Never give up. We are lovers on a lifelong journey. Let's pray to be overshadowed by His Spirit, impregnated with His purposes and eager to do His will. The journey of the lover's heart is where it all begins and never ends.

"IN THE BROOM CLOSET OF PRAYER"

Excerpts taken from:

(Dancing With Destiny: Awaken your Heart to Dream, to Love, to War)

~ by Jill Austin

I ran out of my pastor’s office, absolutely terrified. I’ve got to find a place to hide so I can hear from God. At the end of the hall a door caught my eye. In desperation I rushed to it, ducked inside the tiny dark room and closed the door behind me.

The room smelled of industrial strength disinfectant; I could feel the long handles of brooms and mops. My heart was pounding. I knew I had heard a Scripture once about getting into a prayer closet so I whispered, "Okay, God, I’m listening. Quick! Help!"

What am I doing? I can’t believe I’m hiding in the closet. I cried out again, "Lord, I’ve got to go out any minute and talk in front of two thousand people. I need a script. I didn’t understand I needed a script. Lord, I need to hear from You." I was close to panic.

I laid my head against the mops and brooms, breathing the dust and fumes from the cleaning products, as I continued crying out to the Lord. In just a few moments I would have to step up onto the platform at our church’s popular Saturday night service and minister for the first time in my life. Sweat dripped down my face.

"Lord, I’m listening. What do You want to say?" I strained to listen but I heard nothing. "Lord, are You going to talk to me?" Nothing.

Have you noticed that the harder you keep trying to hear Him the more you seem to get spiritually constipated? It seems that nothing comes out.

All of a sudden I realized that my pastor was probably wondering where I was. I’d better get out. It wouldn’t be cool for people to find me hiding in a closet.

"Okay, Lord, when the coast is clear I’m going to step out of this closet and walk back to his office, and no one will even know that I’ve been hiding here."

With my ear to the door I heard my pastor ask, "Has anyone seen her? It’s time to start."

One of the leather-clad musicians said, "She’s down the hallway in the closet."

I then began pleading with God to rapture me! I could hear heavy footsteps coming toward me. I was trapped. All I could think was, Can I just vanish? Can the earth open up and swallow me? What can I do?

How did I get stuck here in this closet? I’m an artist; I’m a potter. I don’t belong on a stage. Why did I agree to talk to an audience while seated at my potter’s wheel? I obviously didn’t understand what I was getting into.

"WATCH RAISING THE DEAD -- ONLINE NOW!"

God wants you to walk in the fullness of the Kingdom mandate. He wants you to heal the sick, cast out demons, be a blessing to all you encounter, and even raise the dead.

As a ministry, we believe we are entering a time when God is going to allow His church to walk in a new level of authority and power to glorify His name and bear fruit for His Kingdom by raising the dead.

In this video, Patricia teaches from the gospels, and shares testimonies about the dead being raised. In addition to recent testimonies we have heard, Patricia also shares a testimony from Stacey Campbell and Mickey Robinson shares how he himself was raised from the dead!

During this video, Patricia prays for you to be one who carries the glory in such a way that you will raise the dead and mightily glorify God everywhere you go!

"WHAT DOES THE RAIN MEAN?"

Joshua AP Network Home Central


& The Extended Network



Dear Joshua Family Subscribers & Weblog readers:


Today, i am sending out a special word today from Mike and Cindy Jacobs, which came in recently via Chuck Pierce. I had tried to get this out to you sooner on the elist, but the elist server was down last Sunday, and for most of the day on Monday.


The following message has much to do with the recent downpours and flooding that have been taking place, and the spiritual signifance of what the Lord is doing through this. I know that this will speak to your heart, and will refresh your spirit with rain from heaven.


Blessings in Christ, L.D. Oxford

Dear Warring Saints:


I am forwarding a message that Cindy and Mike Jacobs of Generals International sent out yesterday. Whereas some areas of the nation are suffering from severe drought, Texas and much of the I-35 corridor has seen record rains.


In areas of severe flooding, continue to pray for a sweeping move of the Holy Spirit and that God's people will move to the higher ground He is calling us to possess.

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

"BREAKING NEWS FROM GENERALS INTERNATIONAL"


First published on (June 29, 2007)

Resources: generals.org


Red Oak, TX: It is pouring rain in Texas, Oklahoma and across portions of the Midwest. CNN reports, "Storms dumped up to 18 inches of rain on parts of central Texas, flooding several towns and stranding dozens of people on rooftops, cars and in trees." Entire article: at Cnn


The Holy Spirit has spoken through His prophets, and He is releasing a new cleansing move of holiness across the face of the earth. Last June, through two prophesies given in Washington DC, the word came that God is "Washing Washington".


This is now extending all along the I-35 corridor. The Doppler radar has resembled a river of fire as it showed the places of the most intense rain - most of them are located along I-35. In addition, the floodgates across the state of Texas have been opened, and we are preparing for 2008, the year of the open gates.


During October 2006, Chuck Pierce prophesied: "This will be the year the RIVERS will rise! Watch where the heavens open and floods (physical) reach the earth, and document those places! Those are places targeted for a Holy Spirit invasion. Rising flood waters will cause you to move to higher ground. As the River of Holy Spirit rises, you will find yourself moving to the high places."


Go to the prophecy: Here


Kim Clement also prophesied about the rain, saying that the season was changing and there would be no more drought. Clement stated that the change in season will lead to multiplication. "'No more drought,' says the Spirit of the Lord. The season of subtraction, the season of drought has come to an end. And the season of multiplication has begun. It has begun."
Go to the prophecy: at Light the highway


The drought has surely ended, as the national weather service reports that the rainfall totals have more than compensated for the drought most of Texas has been experiencing since 2005.


"WHAT DOES THE RAIN MEAN?"


According to the prophecies, the rain is a sign that God is leading His people to higher places. The areas that have seen flooding will now see the work of the Holy Spirit come. The rain is the sign of a changing season - instead of drought and lack there will be multiplication.


Chuck Pierce shared in an update from March 15 that we are entering a season of travail and that "this travail season could take us through July." Chuck shares that, "Travail is defined as birthing, delivering, it is not a comfortable experience.


Often times, a person will initially interpret travail emotionally and become introspective, suspecting something is wrong with them. However, it is not an emotion, it is the burden of the Lord, and the voice of the Lord coming to a person as a burden to draw them into partnering with Him to birth and/or to war."


"HOW TO PRAY"


Chuck Pierce shares some valuable suggestions for how to respond in a season of travail: HerePray for God to send his promised Holy Spirit work to the flooded areas. Also pray for the safety of those living in the areas experiencing rainfall. Eleven people have died in the past eleven days of severe weather, and the forecast is expecting more.


"LIGHT THE HIGHWAY"


Be part of this cleansing move of God during Light The Highway, October 28-December 1, 2007. Twelve 24/7 prayer rooms, from Laredo, TX to Duluth, MN have already partnered with us to pray during this time.


TBN Enlace (Spanish) has also partnered with us to cover South and Central America and Mexico with prayer. And up north, the Canadian Prayer Network is going to prayer drive the Trans-Canadian Highway to establish it as highway of holiness.


We have recently learned of the E-35 highway that runs across Europe. If you are located on this highway and would like to join in prayer as well, we encourage you to go to Light the highway and start your own page!


Get equipped to raise up a canopy of holiness around the world at our online store, here and keep an eye out for Cindy's new book: The Reformation Manifesto, coming January 2008. Learn how to reform your nation at every level.

Dear friends –

Below is a prophecy that was given to me by the Lord directly after the July 7 bombings – In the light of the recent attempted attacks on the UK I have felt such an urgency in my spirit that the Lord is now saying that in the UK we are now entering a time to be extremely vigilant in the spirit.


Because of the prayers of the saints the Lord has already preserved the UK and the USA from many wicked strategies – I feel an urgency in our spirit to call upon all those of you who have been called in this hour to stand with the UK – Dear friends, in America and across the world, if the Holy Spirit touches you to stand for the UK in this hour – thousands of our viewers in the UK join with you to see the mighty hand of the Lord overshadow Great Britain in these crucial days.

With great love

Wendy Alec

I saw several pockets of small fires across Europe – The fires of wicked men and organisations – And the Lord said "Holland" – Holland was very strong – then France – and then Spain and Italy – then the Lord said – "And to the North" – it was very clear and the Holy Spirit’s voice was insistent and very strong – "The NORTH – the North – the North" – and I had no clear understanding at all what the Lord meant and then I sensed a circle and heard the Holy Spirit say


– "North London - Northern England – Northern Europe" and then I heard "North Africa" – this was the circle and the circle seemed to me to be linked in some way.


These fires, God said were kindling fires – they were very small – hardly noticeable on the map – but they burned furiously – and had fiercely burning blue flames – and then I saw that some kind of NET was being loosed from the heavenlies down to earth – and I heard the Lord say


"THIS IS THE SNARE OF HEAVEN"


– and I saw a great angelic host – the warring host of Heaven being dispatched across Great Britain and Europe and other Northern-most and Middle-Eastern parts of the earth with swords that glistened like flaming fires


– And the Lord said – "As in the ancient of times – so as My people humble themselves and pray – a great and mighty roar of battle shall be unleashed from the heavenlies – and My mighty warring angels shall go forth – for I shall send them from the North and from the South." God was saying these were the fires of wicked men and organisations across Great Britain and Europe and beyond.


Then I saw prayer start to rise – first from small pockets of intercessors across the British Isles – these were not just prayer movements and organisations – but they were the heartfelt prayers of the saints from towns and villages all across Great Britain – these were the praying mothers and grandmothers and grandfathers – these were the prayers of the intercessors across great Britain


– and yes – they were mostly women in their homes and in tiny prayer and home groups – fallen on their knees and on their faces – and I could see that they had the full attention of the Lord – and then I saw the men – and the men were the ministers of God – and the pastors and the ministers from all across Britain rose and joined their prayers in the Spirit with the prayers of the handmaidens – and the prophets started to prophesy – and join with the apostles and the intercessors


– and then they were joined by the praying saints from across pockets in Europe and then from the North, East, South and West – and I saw a great hand arise from the North and the South and the East and the West – And the Lord said "Because of the heartfelt prayers of My saints –


I shall send my Angelic Host and the sound of their battle cry shall resound through the four corners of the earth as they prepare to meet the Princes of Darkness – For I tell you My children – A great and terrible darkness has been unleashed upon the earth in these days –


BUT I am raising up an army – I am raising up a mighty army of My people who will gird themselves up for battle – and as the sound of their voices rises up to me – and as the sound of their prayers – of their supplications comes before my throne – so in turn – My mighty warring angels be unleashed to do battle in the heavenlies.


"And through the prayers of my saints in Great Britain – through the prayers of My saints in Great Britain – through the prayers of the saints and My followers in Great Britain – the stupour and the slumber and the secular humanistic spirits that have bound My people in this nation shall start to uproot


– for my Church has had an outward semblance of power – yet its sound has been a whisper – even as My children have raised their voice in the streets of Great Britain – so the spirits of secularism and humanism have bound the mouths of My saints – but I tell you my children – there dawns another day – says the Lord – there dawns a different hour


– and I call you Oh Church – I call you My saints – This is the day and this is the hour to arise" – says the Lord – "This is the hour to stir yourselves even as the mighty men of old – lift your voices and your hearts up to my throne – for this is the day and the hour of supplication."


Then as the saints rose and started to pray – not with lip service but fervent heartfelt prayer from the heart – I saw another fire – with fierce white and orange living flames – start to burn – the prayers of the Church in Britain – and although it too started in pockets – this was the most incredible fire in the way that it spread across the nation


– It was so fierce that as it took on power – it seemed that nothing could stop its path – but the people who created the fire were fallen on their knees – and God said "Penitent hearts" – and I knew somehow that these praying saints were repenting on behalf of Britain for the sins of the nation and for the sins of omission of the church in Great Britain.


And these prayers gave the angels much strength – and the Snare of the Lord fell like a net across the dark hidden places of the earth – and I saw the terrifying whirlwind of the Lord like a fierce black whirlwind literally chase some of the evil blue pockets down – the winnowing whirlwind of the Lord of Hosts.


Then the Lord showed me a large lion – and He said – "This lion represents the nation of Great Britain" – And it was a shocking sight – for where the lion should have been filled out and sleek and gleaming – it was almost a skeleton – and its mane was barely visible – and its coat was covered in mange – and its roar which should have shaken the nations in its power and in its ferocity was strangled and barely audible.


And the Lord said "This represents both the glory of this nation at present and the state of My church as a whole in Great Britain. And I saw in great letters – the words –


"THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED FROM THE LION – BUT THE GLORY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL RETURN AND THE LION SHALL ROAR AGAIN."


And the Lord said – "Bring back My glory – Bring back My glory that your nation may once more walk in the glory of its destiny – and the Church may show forth My glory" – And the Lord showed me huge a green flourishing green tree that was planted in the European mainland


– its huge trunk seemed to be planted in Brussels and the foliage had grown so dense that the trees branches and foliage had grown over the English channel and covered Britain in a great dark shadow and thousands of smaller offshoots and branches had taken deep root in Great Britain – and I saw the roots tangled and grown into London and then through the British Isles up all the way to Scotland.


The Lord said – "These are the deep roots of secularism and humanism that have taken deep root in this nation – these are the roots that are eroding this nation’s faith! – And I saw thousands upon thousands of people bowing in obedience to this tree and the roots were tightly twisted around their ankles – but they seemed totally unaware of this – that they were bound – and so they rejected the faith of their fathers


– and I saw a great scoffing and a great decline in the traditions and the foundations of the past – and this mass of people was divided into two camps – the first huge mass of people whose ankles were bound by the gnarling roots of the green tree from Europe were younger and seemed more modern in their approach – and I saw written over their head


‘UNBELIEF’ – ‘CYNICISM’ – ‘HUMANISM’ – and the foliage and green leaves seemed to shadow their heads – and I sensed that they were being attacked at a cerebral level.


But the second group seemed to be those whose roots and foundations were from the established traditional denominations of Britain – yet they were just as affected as this first group – but I saw written over their head


‘PRIDE’ – ‘SKEPTICISM’ – ‘CLOSED MINDEDNESS’


and I sensed that the roots around their ankles had bound them in a different manner – that even if they heard the call of the Spirit in these days that the spiritual forces had them so bound that they could not move with the tide and the times of God – and I saw the green foliage literally cover and shadow their foreheads and eyes and I saw the word blinding.


And I said to the Lord, "Father – what does this mean?" And He said – "The spirits that led Europe into post Christian decline – have invaded Great Britain over these past decades – and have infiltrated and overshadowed the nation with the same humanism and paganism and secularism – and yet Britain is still so blinded by her roots and her foundations that she is still declaring herself a Christian nation" – but the Lord says – "That she has been shackled by the enemy." And I said "Lord what can break the shackles?"


And the Lord spoke and said "The prayers and fervent supplications of my saints in Great Britain – the repentance for the sins of commission and omission on behalf of the governments of Great Britain – on behalf of the people of Great Britain." Then I asked the Lord about the Church – and He showed me thousands of people all belonging to different denominations with divisions and literally multitudes of OPINION


– and somehow it seemed that the people’s opinion was all more important in their eyes than Gods opinion and I heard Him say: "Until their opinions become My opinion the Church will continue to be divided among itself and be weak and underfed and lack the true POWER of GOD


– Oh yes," says the lord – "There are many meetings – there are many committees – there are many opinions – opinions – but it is not the opinion and the thoughts of men’s hearts that will change the destiny of Great Britain – but the opinion and the thoughts and intents of the word of the Living God


– Humble yourselves – Humble yourselves and put aside your opinions and press into me the Living God for a living Word" – And the Lord said – "A humble and penitent heart I will not despise" – and I saw the words written – ‘DIVISIONS AND FACTIONS’.


Then as people dropped to their knees all over Britain from every walk of life and denomination – the lion started to change – and He grew strong and sleek and his roar grew stronger. And I saw written in the spirit


– "Create in me a clean heart O God – and renew a right spirit within me". And as the people started to seek the face of the Lord I saw the word ‘COURAGE’ – and I knew that in the spirit realm that Great Britain had been endowed from the beginning of time with the mantle ‘COURAGE’ – and the Lord said ‘LIONHEART’


And God said Britain has yet to move into her end time destiny in the nations - And I saw again in great letters – the words – "THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED FROM THE LION – BUT THE GLORY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL RETURN". And the lion’s roar by now had gained strength.


And then the Lord said – "Manchester – Newcastle – then Birmingham – London – Edinburgh - Glasgow – Southampton – Bournemouth." And I heard Him say "Airports" – not airlines but airports – "Malls – shopping centres" – that He was urging the saints to pray a higher protection over these places and over these things – and I felt Him go back once again to around Manchester – again I do not understand why. And then he started to speak of Great Britain’s destiny…


"Oh Great Britain, Great Britain – Isle of walls and of fortresses – I tell you that even as the glory of the Lord has departed from the Lion – so the glory of the Lion of Judah shall return – and My glory shall rest upon the Lion and the Lion once again shall open its mouth and its roar shall be heard again among the nations of this earth.


"For even as in times past, the Lion whelped many, many cubs and sent its missionaries even to the uttermost parts of the earth, so I tell you that the glory of these latter days shall be greater than that of the former – and even though in centuries past – so I sent missionaries out from this nation even to Africa, to India, to China and beyond


– so I tell you, beloved, that in the decades to come, a great mobilising of My called out ones shall occur - of men and women and boys and girls from these shores – those who even slumber at this time shall start to arise," says the Lord.


"I AM ABOUT TO BLOW THE TRUMPET"


"For even as many of My children – even as much of My Church in Great Britain slumbers even this day – so I declare that I am about to blow the trumpet," says the Lord, "Yes – I the Lord God of Hosts am about to blow the trumpet in Zion – and it shall resound with a mighty roar from the heavens – and My glory shall start to fall – and My Church and My called out ones shall rouse themselves from their stupor and from their slumber," says the Lord.


"For even now – I have heard the prayers of My people – Even now – although it be but a remnant – I have heard the prayers of the watchmen on the walls of Great Britain – the watchmen who neither slumber nor sleep – and even as they have cried out to me in the midnight hour for Britain to heed My voice and to seek My face – so I tell you My children – that the day of the Lord is appearing –


And they shall rise from the East and from the West of this Isle – they shall rise from the Southernmost tip to the North – and Scotland – yes Scotland," says the Lord.


"Yes – My burning fire shall be ignited in the furthermost parts of the North – and My glory shall light a flame," says the Lord, "that shall sweep across divides and denominations – and the Pentecostals and the Evangelicals and the Anglicans, the Methodists, the Catholics and all who revere My Name and the sacrifice of My Son shall unite with one heart and as one body – and that flame shall be seen across this land


– and the cities and the villages of this nation shall start to burn with the fervency and the hunger of the Living God. For even as My Church has been bound by the shackles of compromise and passivity – I tell you that in this coming day and in this coming hour – My firebrands shall start to rise."


"LIKE WILBERFORCE MY APOSTOLIC VOICES SHALL RISE IN THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT"


"And like Wilberforce – My apostolic voices shall rise in the Houses of Parliament – they shall arise in London – they shall arise in Edinburgh – they shall arise in the North of England – and even as the unions had a voice in past years that was strident and rose above the crowds and became the voice of the masses – so in like manner shall My Church’s voice start to be heard in a manner far above and beyond this present days.


"And so I shall raise My apostles – and they shall stand at the city gates and the gates of trading – and they shall stand in the government – and they shall stand in the media – and in the banking institutions and in businesses – and they shall stand in the clergy of this nation.


And I shall raise up My prophets – and they shall rise – and their faces will be as flint – and even as John Knox voice rang out above Scotland – I tell you that My prophet’s voices shall start to rise in this nation – and I call My intercessors – I call My intercessors – Pray, Pray – do not desist from your prayers – for even that which you have perceived in your spirits and that which you have yearned for – it is almost upon you.


"A MIGHTY FLOOD OF EVANGELISTS "


"For surely the day of the missionaries dawns once more upon these shores –
For surely the day of the Gospel going forth to the uttermost parts of the earth dawns once more upon these shores. And as My fire starts to fall across Great Britain – I tell you that the men, the women, boys and girls – shall feel the call to leave theses isles and to travel to the continents of the earth to preach My Gospel


– And a mighty flood of evangelists – a mighty throng of missionaries shall leave this nation – and I shall thrust them into the four corners of the earth – and they shall go to Japan – and they shall go to Beijing – and they shall go to Africa – East and West – and they shall go to Europe – and to the Middle East – and I shall spread them as a net over the continent of Asia.


"And I shall open doors to My Gospel that have previously been shut – Even the doors of iron and of brass shall be opened unto the missionaries from the British Isles – Vietnam – North Korea and beyond. And there shall be a great flood and a torrent of My Gospel that shall once more go forth from this land


– And I shall send Bibles from this land – and I shall send resources – resources – resources from Great Britain – that will feed – that will clothe – that will build – that will teach – that will establish My Gospel in the four corners of the earth. For this is the destiny of this land in latter days," says the Lord – "To resource – to nurture – to establish – to preach My Gospel. And even as in past days – this Empire was established – so I tell you that in this coming day and this coming hour it shall be the Empire of the Great King of Heaven that shall be established.


"THE RISE OF ONE IN GREAT BRITAIN WITH A ROD OF IRON AND MY GOVERNMENT UPON HIS SHOULDERS"


"And there has yet to rise from these shores one who has a rod of iron – in the decades to come – you shall yet see one rise who has My government upon his shoulders – and he shall rise in the government – and he shall rise in this nation and he shall rule with a rod of iron," says the Lord. "


And he will come at such a time when Great Britain is faltering – and I shall do this because of the prayers of My people – For there shall be a great swarm that shall rise against these isles in the decades to come – A great swarm as an army will arise across the waters around this nation – but this man with the rod of iron shall stand firm – And the nation shall take courage – and the lionheart of Britain shall arise as one – and the great swarm shall turn back and even in an instant – be stopped in their tracks," says the Lord.


"THE GREAT JOINING OF THE LION AND THE EAGLE"


"And there will be a great joining of the Lion and the Eagle – and even as the voices in the streets and the byways – the murmuring, the complaining of any alliance between the United States and Britain – so I tell you that these voices neither discern the times nor the purposes of the Living God – For even as the Eagle came to the Lion’s aid in times gone by – so I tell you that in this coming season – once again this alliance between the Lion and the Eagle shall be forged and the forge shall not be broken," says the Lord, – "because it is destined by Heaven.


"And a great wave of prayer shall rise up from the East Coast of America through the heartland to the West – and that wave of prayer and intercession shall wash across Britain as a fiercely burning flame – and shall cleanse and protect – but in the years ahead – so the prayers of the saints in Britain shall rise and like a wave they shall spread across America – and preserve and protect – and a great joining shall occur and this joining shall not be the joining of man," says the Lord "but the joining of Almighty God


"And this nation shall return to its Christian roots – It shall RETURN to its Christian roots – and the glory of the Lion of Judah shall once more return and rest upon the Lion.
"IF my people repent of the sins of this nation and humble themselves and pray."
