Train of thought Enemies in the UK First posted: April 25, 2007 Written: April 15,23-25, 2007 Last updated: April 29, 2007 Word received by: Shamah-Elim
On April 15, 2007, I sat down to study, and there was a burning in my heart regarding the UK's spiritual condition. Suddenly, the question arose in my heart, "Who exactly are the powers hindering God's full manifestation in the UK?". As I have shared with several British brothers, the key to revival in the UK lies in the exposition of revelation truth, the exposition of the deep wisdom of God. This will stir the hearts and minds of the British people, who will then begin to see past the stale and superficial doctrine preached by the institutionalised Church, enabling them to finally behold the God of deep truth, the One True God whose wisdom shall make evident to them the underlying nature of all things. The British people will in no way be "duped" into accepting the flat, 2-dimensional "God" offered by the matriarchal Church. They abhor the simplistic gospel heralded by the American Church. Their minds, who have a predisposition towards objectivity and truth, shall rejoice as the "fractal" God is exposed to them, the God of Israel who is not interested in getting people to "read the Bible", "attend church", and blindly accept "church doctrine" and "morality" without any questioning whatsoever. They are hungry for the God whose complex mind crafted the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is contained in them, the God whose judgements are so awesomely rich and fair that they are a delight to walk in, a joy to meditate upon, the God who evokes a righteous and holy sacrifice from those exposed to them, the God who propels people towards what is right and worthy, the God who elevates the lives of men past the levels of mediocrity and conformity, the God whose presence dignifies man and enables the fulfilment of his destiny.
Even though the UK's fields are ripe for the harvest, there are temporary roadblocks hindering the public manifestation of God in the UK. As I wondered what these roadblocks are, 3 different spirits came to my heart. As I began to write them down, I realised that these 3 spirits are all inter-related, and they might, in a sense, be 3 different sides of the same evil force. These are the spirits that surfaced in my heart and mind:
As I meditated on all of the above, the following question surfaced in my heart, "Why is there a spiritual portal over the UK?". There is something peculiar about the land of Britannia. There is an "eerie quality" about the air, about the sky over the land. Those in the spirit will be quick to admit that "there is something going on in the air over Britain and Ireland", something that has been going on for ages and which is on a "climactic crescendo" in these latter days. Why is that, I wondered? Why is the UK so special? As I pondered this question, the following thought came into my heart: There is a spirit of deep reverence in Britannia. For many centuries, people have sown "devotion" into the soil, and that devotion draws rain clouds over the land. That explains why the UK's and Ireland's weather is relatively wet and why the words "London", "fog", and "cloudy" are so closely connected in popular culture around the world. As I thought about all of this, the Lord reminded me of the following passage in the book of Hosea, especially verses 21 and 22:
"19And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 21And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; 22And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 23And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God." (Hosea 2:19-23)
Jezreel means "God sows", which speaks of the sowing done by those who operate in the "mystery of God". As you sow in the "mystery of God", your sowing becomes "God sowing" Himself through you. As this "underground sowing" takes place, infrasonic rumblings begin to shake the underground, and windows are opened in the heavens above.
It is no spiritual coincidence that Hosea is the one whom God uses to say "I will say to them which were not my people, thou art My people" (Hosea 2:23). Through this, God is speaking of reaching out to the Gentiles, to the nations whom the "Jews" (i.e.- the institutionalised Church) deemed unworthy of God. The American Church was unable to see the potential across the sea, the beautiful potential awaiting to be enabled in the UK. This is a potential sown into the ground of Britain and Ireland, and my eyes shall rejoice when I see that potential blossom in Christ like a beautiful desert rose.
Today (April 28, 2007), the Lord has prompted me to add these words. They are a short poem written by Englishman William Blake in 1804:
And did those feet in ancient time
{You can read more on this poem and on William Blake at wikipedia.org. The fact that this poem is the preface to Blake's epic poem titled "Milton: a Poem" is prophetic in nature. There is a deep message hidden behind the name "Milton", a message which we will share in future, if God allows.}
These words echo in my heart like a resounding thunder that stirs my very being. Oh, how I long to see these words fulfilled! |
