Imminent flood: London

Feb 26, 2006 , Martin Scott

I am sending out the following word which is drawn from a number of people who meet together on a regular basis to pray, share revelation and seek the Lord. Releasing a corporate word is indeed a challenge but I am more than happy to stand behind and with each and everyone of the names below. My personal perspective is that we have entered a new season for the UK with increasing pressure coming on the capital. This does not mean that our best
days are not ahea d of us - they most definitely are, but the most challenging days are the ones ahead. Judgement is a challenging word - but we have to mature in our thinking to realise that judgment is not the opposite of mercy: mercy can come through judgment. Judgment is against
institutional and oppressive 'empires'. Those who align themselves to that suffer - as also sadly do the innocent at those times.The church can limit the suffering in those situations where it becomes free from a spirit of self-preservation.

Weigh what follows and I am grateful that whatever a perspective is reached that we are in this together for a future filled with the presence of the Lord. ~ Martin

24th February 2006 LONDON AND UK

The following is a summary of prophetic insights received over recent years concerning London and the United Kingdom, and the statement below results from a series of meetings held between t he Autumn of 2005 and mid February 2006, of a prophetic "roundtable" (names listed below).

At a meeting on 16th February a consensus was reached - which leaves us with a responsibility to declare what is being discerned - and so feel it right to release it into the public domain. The intention in releasing the statement below, is to enable both those in relevant authorities, and the church, to prepare for events which we believe will take place.............

"We see the need to warn and to prepare for major flooding from the Thames - covering significant areas of the London flood plain - inclusive of the financial centre of the city. It is foreseen that this will be of sufficient magnitude to cause damage and destruction to property - necessitating the relocation of people from the area. There would be an attendant risk of injury and even loss of life, in flooding of this nature.

Consequential to this wou ld be disruption to residential, governmental and commercial life in the affected areas. The urgency we feel in the release of this is communication is due to our
belief that the above events are imminent".

FOR THE CHURCH:

In the light of this, we see a responsibility to urgently alert the church of the nation to prepare, both in prayer and in practical measures. Spiritually - as a nation - we face the consequences of the frequent embracing of unrighteousness, both in our actions and legislature, and therefore the reaping of what we have sown, particularly from more recent years.

As "great darkness" covered a former generation (see Isaiah 60:1-3), it provided the context for light and glory to be intensified over God's people. What we now see coming is a time of opportunity and challenge to the Church of our nation - to be light in darkness and to declare and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus.

In terms of intercession, we need to pray for mercy, protection and preservation of life as well as "damage limitation" over the region and the nation. The issue will be for the Kingdom of God to have maximum advantage. We sense also that it will be a "wake up" call, spiritually, to both
church and nation. Many in the nation will be seeking answers as to why this has happened. God's people need to be prepared both to stand, themselves, in a time of trauma and also to bring comfort and understanding to others.

We need to pray for the church to rise to this opportunity.
We see the further need to pray for government (local and national) - for the receiving of this information as being both trustworthy and timely, and for wisdom in their responses to what it could require to be put in place.

On a practical level, we encourage the church to begin to take a lead from the US churches in the New Orleans disaster and to consider p reparing practical facilities, such as refuge, accommodation and care, for those who may be displaced from the flood areas.

Warning Over London - Urgent

Thank you for this urgent e-mail regarding your country. Yours was the second, as I received this same message from Dana Millar a few days prior. I will watch and pray accordingly for your nation.

This timing is very interesting to me. I have been "watching" for signs in March of this year as I have been sounding the trumpet to the watchmen in my area (Kansas City) throughout the month of March; calling for much prayer and fasting.

There happen to be 2 eclipses in March, both of them on important dates on the Hebrew calendar. The first eclipse takes place on March 14 and it is a prenumbral lunar eclipse. (The Rabbis teach that a lunar eclipse bodes for Israel). March 14 on the Hebrew calendar is Purim (Esther 9:1-17). Isn't it interesting that the King of Persia in the Book of Esther signed a decree to kill all the Jews and today, the current leader of Persia (Iran) is calling for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth. Very important date that this partial lunar eclipse takes place on! We must pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!

The second eclipse is a TOTAL solar eclipse which takes place on March 29. This date happens to be the Eve of the Biblical New Year (the day before Nisan 1) and is the day after the Israeli elections for Prime Minister. This eclipse can be best viewed from Egypt and in fact there are many tour groups going to Egypt for this event. The Rabbis teach that a solar eclipse (this one is very important because this is a total eclipse) bodes for the world.

So, I have been watching for events to unfold in the month of March, and your e-mail with the timing of March involved is of great interest to me and I take it very seriously.

May God richly bless you as you stand your post as a Watchman on the Walls of Jerusalem,

4. UNITY IN JESUS CHRIST
Pray Christians will stop cursing and fighting each other.
Pray for forgiveness, mutual blessing, support and Unity in Christ. Pray for families to turn from unforgiveness, bitterness and hatred to loving each other. Heal the generational relationships turn hearts of Fathers to children.
Pray for racial harmony between black and white, as one in Jesus Christ. Pray for a healing of divisions, ancient feuds, and resentments between countries e.g. Scotland and England to transform into blessing and kindness. Break "tribal spirit" between cities e.g. Birmingham and London; Manchester and Liverpool; Edinburgh and Glasgow, and between counties to transform into brotherly Love, Blessing, Kindness.


5. VISION FROM HEAVEN
Pray that The Holy Spirit educates The Church and that there is a much greater understanding of God's Personal Passionate Love for Jerusalem and Israel.

Pray cast members will turn to Jesus Christ.
Pray The Holy Spirit reclaims the popular arts for The Glory of God The Father and Lord Jesus Christ.


8. THE BBC - UK TAX SPONSORED TV
Pray for The BBC to have an unprecedented move of The Holy Spirit to return it to its founding mandate to sew seeds of decency and truth. To brilliantly express how magnificently Jesus Christ has built our British society and how fundamental he is for our very survival. The BBC is a stronghold of secular humanist tendencies and appears to be more subtly anti-Christian than other media.

10. MARRIAGE EXALTED
Especially pray for the institution of marriage to be defended and for marriages to be blessed.

Bless Christian marriages with joy and honour that will confound the world and cause a seeking after the everlasting arms of the Saviour.

Pray for an openness to the gospel among Muslims and very strong protection under the law for Muslims who do convert and find Jesus Christ as their Lord and True God.

Pray that The Queen and Prime Minister will consider calling National Days of Prayer and Repentance as was done many times in our history up to and including Prime Minister Winston Churchill.


15. COME HOLY SPIRIT
Pray that the Holy Spirit convicts the entire nation of both the deep levels of sin we have embraced and the forgiving, healing, delivering, cleansing unconditional Love of God The Father through His Beloved Son Jesus Christ.

Pray the United Kingdom enters its divine destiny and becomes a mighty force for the Kingdom of God on earth.
Pray that the UK will send anointed servants, who will speak the Word in the power of the Holy Spirit and release the captives of darkness in Europe and other lands


17. PRAY Christians in The UK PRAISE, THANK and WORSHIP Jesus Christ better in the future than even the very best worship of the past.
Pray that The Holy Spirit can so move so unprecedentedly among our nation that God The Father can honestly declare that the people of Britain truly have A HEART AFTER GOD.


18. Pray that Prime Minister Churchill will be proved wrong when he declared 1939-45 to be Britain's "Finest Hour" and that the very best is yet to come from Our People in serving the cause of FREEDOM, JUSTICE, CHARITY, LOVE, TRUTH and OUR NATION's ONE TRUE GOD of THE OLD and NEW TESTAMENT. PRAISE HIS MIGHTY NAME.


With respect to Prime Minister Churchill, we have changed just one word to the following speech, and pronounce it today afresh IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST by THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT to THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.


The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Satan knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

Blood of Jesus Christ bless and defend Jerusalem, Israel, California, The USA and The UK. To God be The Glory. Allelluia. Amen.

The Prophet Amos Engaged in Intercession

Living in the times of Amos

It is not the nature of the true prophet simply to be aware of such flaws in society and to view them with no sense of personal involvement. The revelation of them along with their destructive consequences brings out a new depth of prayer. We see this clearly in Amos 7:1ff, where Amos records visions he had of judgements about to break in the form of locusts and fire, each of which would totally devastate the land. He cried out in deep distress for God to stay his hand. God heard his intercession and the judgements were turned away.

Intercession was as much a part of Amos’ life as was prophetic pronouncement. Its effect was evidently immense in staving off disasters, as undoubtedly the prayers of Christians have been in our own nation over past 40 years. But the process of interceding and seeing God turn away from his judgements was now about to change – and not for the better.
