Ch.7 ~ The Strength of a Motley Crew

Forever United ~ A Kingdom Under God

Written November 21, 2022

For every walled garden; for every climbing rose: for the fragrance of every wild flower - in every wild meadow…for every brook and stream, every winding, leafy lane…every rolling hill; every patchwork of field and hedgerow. For the stone-built church that still points upwards, because Your Word is etched down deep into its foundations: For the stone cottage and the corner shop; for the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. For everything that is England, that reminds us of everything that is still good (Luke 18:19)…everything that is of you (James1:17)

For the glory of your coming redemption, upon all of these things:

For the multitudes of people who you have shown me, WILL enter in to Your Kingdom.

For the changing face of Great Britain - from one of Anglo-Saxon Celt, to the most beautiful array of colour and race ever seen..for the multitude of culture and religion that YOU have brought to this country…and who You will bring into the Kingdom…

For their coming unity, that I have seen around the Cross, and for the great revival at the end of times that YOU will bring among them and through them.

…so that the multifaceted wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,(Ephesians 2:10-

For it was your plan all along, that our multi-cultural Land would become our strength: For we are not one breed…not one race anymore, but we are now many - and herein lies our strength (as with the natural, so with the spiritual).

Thank you Lord for showing me: One Lord, one Faith, one baptism - one Way…but many, many cultures, and many people coming OUT from many religions…from north, south, east and west…and every latitude and longitude in between.

Thank you Lord for bringing them here to our shores…and for placing us here, for such a time as this.

It was Your plan all along that we your Church, should be a tapestry of many threads…A Body of many parts…yes, even a “coat of many colors” (Gen.37-50)- which has and will continue, to infuriate many people, as it did Joseph’s brothers -

but thank you that your plan all along has been Salvation to the nations…and although it seems to have brought evil to our shores, that which the enemy intends for evil, You will and are turning to good.

Thank you for the Day you have shown me, when you will raise the godly foundation stones of this nation, and others, to the surface. That people will recognize and run to them…for these were here long before any of us.

…That these stones themselves will begin to cry out, in response to the prayers of the Saints, past, present…and future…from this United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and beyond - that this nation, along with America, will discover, and uncover her true and godly foundations, and take her stand upon them.

A vision from God - for Great Britain…

(21/11/2022)

“If I should die, think only this of me:

That there’s some corner of a foreign field

That is for ever England.”

The Soldier BY RUPERT BROOKE

To read the original prophecy see link #1

“Father, I miss my homeland - as it was: We cannot go back: But there is redemption and Life in going FORWARD - with You.”

I stood on the Foundation Stone - as if drifting on the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere between the USA and the UK.
I was looking at some of the names on the Stone; names of the past; when Britain was a different place: I was praying…and weeping:
“Lord, You preserved us through two world wars; you brought us a reformation when there could have been a civil war…
Historians call these people reckless, brutal: and with good reason! At times they were (very very human). I am not ignorant to history…I know what went on; their secret - and not so secret lives. But Lord I can’t forget…I can’t forget Oliver Cromwell; I can’t forget Winston Churchill; I can’t forget Queen Elizabeth I and how she worded off a Roman Catholic invasion: what would we look like now if she had faltered? Italy…Greece? Where would our sovereignty be? Would we have ever known of men like William Wilberforce, John Wesley, King George VI? And would we have ever…EVER survived WWII?
Why is it that I can’t forget Lord?”

{And then - through the winnowing…above the flood…above the Great darkness that had all but completely enveloped the Land - I saw the Sun of Righteousness began to arise over the horizon of the United Kingdom, with Redemption in its Light and healing in its wings. (Malachi 4:2)

And I heard the sound of something being smashed against a rock - and a spark was ignited! See Ch.3 ~The Unraveling}

Ch. 7 ~ The Strength of a Motley Crew
That spark had now begun to spread like wildfire across the United Kingdom: I knew that once ignited, there was no stopping it.
I saw many different religious non-Christian symbols - that had for the last half century, seemed to dominate the skyline of my homeland. I had watched this change taking place year after year, decade after decade, with a sinking heart: “I’m losing my homeland Lord”, had been the common lament of my heart during this time period.
But now I saw, many people from these other religions, who for fear of their lives had kept their conversion to Christianity secret, now step out into the open and begin to publicly proclaim…the Lord Jesus Christ!
And I suddenly realized…what the Lord had been doing in my nation…in secret…because of the prayers of the Saints!!!
This led to (I especially saw in London and the North of England) a sudden influx of people from other religions (some of them extremely prominent) into the Kingdom of Heaven.
I remembered how I had seen the great principalities of the north of England crash; one…and then another…and another! (see previous chapter) I was now seeing the same thing happening with these religious institutions;

And, just as I had seen with America, I became aware of angels, who had been positioned strategically throughout the United Kingdom: As these angels approached the Throne of God, it was almost as if a progress report was being given:
“number 1 has fallen!”
… “number 2 has fallen!”
… “number 3 has fallen.” And so on…
Without going into detail, I knew these angels were referring to the places of worship of other religions, as people broke the ranks of their own religious orders and ran…more and more of them…to the Salvation of the Cross; I knew that so many of them would lose so much of this world - even their own lives - in doing this.
But then I realized…it was so much more than that:
I had heard the intercession of the Saints in Great Britain, for these people of other religions, whose architecture and institutions had begun to dominate our land - changing its appearance forever. And yet, I knew the Lord had brought them to our Land; because of its sovereignty; because of its constitutional freedoms (This is why I couldn’t forget the names on the Foundation Stone - and how the Lord had used them)
…At the same time, the Lord had driven a Remnant of His Church to an altar of prayer and deep intercession, for the salvation of these people. (I know because I was one of them!) And now I saw: the scales were finally beginning to tip within these religions - and tip dramatically - in favor of the Lord Jesus Christ!

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

I will be found by you, declares the LORD…”

Jeremiah 29:12-14

Towards one religion in particular…a religion that, like Christianity and Judaism, prays to and worships “one god” (all be it, the wrong one), the Lord was bringing this particular scripture alive; and through it, in what seemed to me like an unparalleled degree of grace and mercy, the Lord was making Himself known to the people of this particular religion:
I saw His feet (because whenever I see Jesus, it’s always either his hands or his feet) stepping through the doors of these institutions and beginning to walk down the isles and among those who were kneeling…who were searching…
“I will be found by you”, declares the LORD…”

And, just to put this into a Biblical perspective:

Bible Study The Bethesda Pool (written November 21 2022)

Read John 5:1-15

This was a pagan (Godless) ‘healing center’ or ‘askelepion’ erected by a Grecian cult in honor of their god Asclepius - the god of healing.

The fact that this man had been sitting in this God-forsaken place for 38 years, waiting on a mythical angel to stir up the water - waiting on pagan superstitions instead of on the One true God (Ex.15:26; Is.40:3031) - gives us some insight in to why, in vs. 14 Jesus tells the man to “stop sinning“.

***Note: The pool was in fact, stirred by an underwater spring; one of a few beneath Jerusalem.***

And yet, into this dark and God-forsaken place walks God Himself (ch.20:28) - Jesus the Messiah, the Light of the world (ch.8:12)…And, with an incredible combination of pure power and total undeserved mercy, demonstrates before everyone there, exactly who is the real and Living God! (in a subtle replay of 1Kings 18:20-40).

In this, He also sends a clear message: There is no place too dark…too far fallen that the Lord cannot, and will not reach.

He will send a very similar message in Matthew 16:13-19 at Cesarea Philippi - literally the central hub for pagan worship and the location of what was known as “the gates of Hades”

We are told very little information as to this man’s background. He may have been struck down in this bedridden condition while actually sitting in that exact spot in this deep darkness, 38 years earlier. Whatever the case, we know that if Jesus had not physically healed him, he could not physically have walked out of there and away from the darkness…he could not have “taken up his mat and walked.” When the Lord sets us free, He does so COMPLETELY - if necessary, providing us with a Way we can physically walk out, from whatever demonic situation we find ourselves in.

And so, at this pagan place, just a stone’s throw from the Temple itself, in the heart of Jerusalem, Jesus Christ truly demonstrates Luke 15 vs. 4-6 and Luke 19 vs.10: There is no soul that falls beyond His Saving Grace: He is the Lord our God - even in this “God-forsaken” place.

I am aware of this with every person I encounter off the street; every Muslim I reach out to with the love of Messiah, the broken mother; the person battling a drug addiction, the hard-working commuter, traveling home with only his beer cans for company. All these people and multitudes more: Some will step over the line and come to Christ…but for others, as with the man at the Bethesda Pool, Christ (in us) will step over the line into their world and come to them.

~~~

I saw the Lord literally walk into these “unholy” places and make himself known to these people…again, this was unprecedented - at least in my country: The Lord was wasting no more time… For the sake of ten people, the Lord would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah: now I saw tens…if not hundreds of thousands of intercessors praying for the lost sheep of this religion…And now I saw: The prayers of the Saints for these people had overflowed before the Throne of God like an erupting spring. The clock was ticking - and the hour was late.
{And I remembered a song by Darlene Zschech, Israel Houghton & Kari Jobe, entitled “Victor’s Crown”: I was hearing it now - it seemed to be reverberating across the airwaves and working hand in hand with the Lord as he unveiled himself to these people.}
Then, it was as if I was taken back to the 16th century; to the time of the Reformation:
I looked at the landscape of Great Britain; both spiritual and physical - I could see it clearly: I knew from that time until now, that it had changed forever! It was charged for another - a final - reformation! There was no going back, just as there had been no going back for the USA. Now the only Way was forward - with the Lord!

Kim Clement:

“I’m hearing God say over and over: “They thought they had my presence;

but my presence is about to engulf the Earth - like water the sea;

a presence that will bring about a mysterious influence…that will draw fish to your nets…so that your nets will begin to break.”

May I prophesy over you? There’s a valley of dead bones in every nation;

but tonight we are prophesying: “You’re not dead bones - you are an army;

we prophesy to our children: You’re not dead bones: You’re an army;

we prophesy to our families: You’re not dead bones: You’re a mighty army!

We prophesy - to the nations - from this place:

Fire…Fire…FIRE!” (Kim Clement: Mt Carmel 2008 ~ see link #2 “Fast for Family”)

{Still the pressure on the Church increased:

Social and cultural barriers then began to come down, as through the fire of God, people were pressed closer and closer together. As this happened, the “dance” became less formal, and faster and more exuberant, as they began to interact on a more personal level. See ch.6 ~ “The Dance”}

Time: (Zero hour)
Great Britain exploded upwards in what I can only describe as a mass of fireworks going off all at the same time: and from out of it spilled the most glorious motley bunch of Africans, Asians, and multitudes of Muslims, Hindus, Sekes, who had come to know the Lord at this time: And in the midst, I saw members of the Royal Family and British aristocracy: As with America, the walls of Great Britain had come down: walls of nationalism and patriotism: These were not necessarily bad things in their time…but times were different now: I saw that the allegiance of these people was to Jesus Christ and no one and nothing else. Their identities were hidden in Christ and their nationality was His Kingdom. As British borders, like American, were flattened, I saw a wave of missionaries from France sweep over them: Fleeing the persecution in their own country, these reformers were being driven by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel in Great Britain. It was an invasion - of the best kind! They were immediately swept up by what had now become a mass of swirling nationalities, dancing around one another in what looked like an extremely jubilant Jewish wedding celebration…except this one was on a scale of thousands of people.

Then - to add to this shear wave of glory, the heavens seemed to open and fire descended on everyone. I thought about Acts ch. 2.
I saw again the scene from chapter 5 - around the Foundation Stone: the Balfour Declaration now held high and aloft in the Hands of the Lord Himself; members of the Royal Family in shock…members of parliament breaking down in tears…and ordinary citizens now beginning to approach - desperate for answers…longing for Hope…
I heard a huge sonic boom as a wave of missionaries from the USA swept in and joined the throng. These missionaries had been refined like gold in a furnace; tested like Olives in a press (see ch. 1&2). Their arrival in the UK seemed to send shockwaves over the entire nation - and something broke over the Houses of Parliament (the seat of Government for the United Kingdom) - I saw again the lamenting of the Balfour Declaration (ch.5) and I suddenly realized I was looking at the beginnings of a Government revival. (see ch.4)

The State

I saw the British Parliament. Some of them stood as if frozen, or in a daze; from others, I heard a crescendo of deep heartfelt whaling and repentance- over none other than the betrayal of the Balfour Declaration. I saw a woman, whom I believed to be the Prime Minister at that time; her face was very familiar. She had been born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, as was happening with increasing numbers of politicians.

The Sovereign

As this heavy scroll that was the Balfour Declaration was unrolled, the end of it crashing to the floor, I saw Prince William: and immediately I thought about Isaiah 6:1-7 ~

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

…Again I saw Prince William: He had fallen to his knees, and appeared to have been in this position for a long time.

~ And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

Then as I continued to watch, groups of intercessors began to gather around him (Prince William), and laying their hands on him, helped him to stand.

…And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

I knew that once he (William) stood on his feet, there would be no going back for him. The Spirit of the Lord was now upon him - I could see it! And I knew that he represented not only himself, but others…
Again I was reminded of Josiah as he read from the Book of the Law…
And then the heavens opened over the UK - as if, for the United Kingdom, the Lord had suddenly and completely wiped the slate clean. 2Chronicles 7:14

As I watched this, and the sudden impact that the wave of missionaries from the United States were creating, I suddenly asked the Lord “How is it that they are now reaping such an incredible harvest?” (I remembered from the past how many well-meaning missionaries from North America had attempted to preach the Gospel in the UK and Europe - and had failed) How was it that these were succeeding where others before hadn’t?
And the Lord lead me back to a prophetic word of 2023 called “The Great Reformation” (see link #3)
…How he had opened the eyes of a Remnant in America; to, not only other nations - but to their cultures, customs…and their “faces”;
And now they were laying down their lives…their Liberty…in pursuit of them!
And then, there was another, more practical reason:

{From: A Nation Under God…

Many of those (Americans) going out, were bringing their Liberty with them…but this was a different kind of Liberty: This was Liberty in its truest, purest form. For amongst them, were service men and women, medics, teachers, cleaners, business owners, industry workers, caregivers, mothers - and fathers!}

I realized I was now looking at the fulfillment of this prophetic word. These missionaries had not come to be admired and served (as those from the Mountain of Media had done so many times before). These missionaries - multitudes of them - from the USA, had come in the Name of Christ, to SERVE…to lay down their lives for His service…
As they arrived on the shores of the UK, I heard the words “We have come to help you.” And that help was desperately needed: I could now see that the system in the UK was crumbling rapidly; in fact it was dangerously close to complete collapse.
This is why the British embraced and welcomed these missionaries from America so warmly. I saw these doctors, nurses, teachers, caregivers, business owners, service men and women (including police officers and firefighters), mothers and fathers, serving the Lord freely in my nation: their only source of supply coming directly from the stream of provision from America’s crash and fall (see link #4) This is how so many of these missionaries were living…their source of supply flowing directly from the broken USA - out to the nations. America truly had in every way, become the City on a Hill.

~~~As strange as this all may sound, just as I had seen the “face” of the USA and been broken down with love and compassion, the same thing was happening to these missionaries from the States: They were seeing the “face” of the United Kingdom;
And as I saw this happening, in my own home land (because this is now where I was in the Spirit) , I “fell in love” with the United States of America all over again; my heart broke with love for them - and so did the hearts of the British people who were around me…as these American missionaries - many of them entire families, pressed like olives, refined like gold - came swarming in. They mixed with missionaries from China, France, Mexico and all over Africa~~~
I know that in our past history, since the Revolutionary War, there has been ‘no love lost’ between our two nations (the UK and the USA) which just made what I was witnessing now all the more incredible! I also know that, had these missionaries not been so thoroughly refined by the Lord, they would not have been so well received in my nation.
{Note: In Volumes I & II, I write exclusively about this Remnant in the USA and their refining process.}

Again I thought about the song “Not for Sale” by Michael Combs: It was almost as if this had now become the anthem for the Remnant of the United States of America: Every time I saw them, I heard this song…as if, this had now become their testimony!
I knew I was witnessing a miracle between these two nations that I love so much - I also knew that this was a season; a window of grace that would not be open forever: soon real tribulation was going to hit - and we would be scattered and our nations would be no more. (I will write more about this in a later chapter) Now is the season of Grace - and the Remnant - the Church - of both nations MUST take full advantage of it.

Fight – Fight, with weapons of love -

setting your sights on the One above;

Who’s Perfect Love casts out all fear; Who’s perfect Grace draws the sinner near; Who “breaketh the bow and snapeth the spear”. (Psalm 46:9) Who takes the sword out of my hand; Who shatters the hate, like grains of sand.

Create O Lord, a pure heart in me; bring salve for my eyes, that I can see what You see: To embrace the ones that You adore –

for against such Love there is no law!

For a greater love none can ever know: That we lay down our lives – for friend or for foe.

Where do we do this? There’s only one place: - At the Cross of our Savior; the birth place of Grace. How do we do this? One Way – only One: Through Jesus Christ, God’s only Son.

So do not consider your life anymore, nor set your sights on what was before.

But fix them on things as yet unseen; give Him your heart – let Him make it clean. No weapon can stand against this Love; none can destroy what comes from above. Because freely on us He lavishes grace, that the world through us may see His Face. So consider yourselves dead to sin; deny yourself, take up your Cross and FOLLOW HIM.

A.h.W.
