Below is an important prophetic word I received at the break of a new season on the 1^st of March 2009. However, on the leading of the Spirit of Lord I am now making this word available to the prophetic community for consideration, encouragement and prayer. Through an experience on a plane journey to Britain, the Lord spoke words which require our attention in this season. Every aspect of the journey was a message spoke by the Lord with certainty of performance (Numbers 23:19).

 

 

The time to release new dimensions of the prophetic destiny of Britain has come! God is calling the UK, the church in the nation, and individual Believers out of seasons of delay, and into times of advancement of divine purpose. After nearly a year away from the country, the Lord spoke to me to make my way back to the UK in March 2009 as a sign of the end of a season of exile or exodus. The Lord was also specific in choice of airline carrier- British Airways.  The class of travel also was a prophetic sign. He said a first class season was upon Believers in Britain; a time of manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19). A day of revealing of the firstborn of Christ had come (Christians in covenant with God). The time has come for Believers to arise and shine; celebrating Jesus, the light of our salvation. God is seeking after glory carriers! The first two seats in the first class cabin allocated to my husband and I spoke of a day when Believers will experience fulfillment of the covenant Word of God; the head, and not the tail. Believers are entering further into a time of acceleration where by the speed of light their situations shall experience divine visitation that will bring household transformations.

 

As the aircraft we were travelling in approached Heathrow airport at about 2.40pm, the pilot made an announcement about delay in landing. Apparently the landing would be delayed for 10 minutes due to the volume of traffic over Heathrow airport. As a regular flier, the situation at hand should have meant nothing to me but there was something about the date of our flight into London, the tone of the announcement by the pilot and duration of delay that caught my attention.  As I pondered it all in my heart, I felt a nudging of the Spirit of God to listen. I knew the Lord wanted to speak to me about the situation. The Lord opened my spiritual eyes to ‘see” (perceive) delay (a spiritual phenomenon) over the nations of Great Britain. The enemy had sought to bring delay and stagnation to the people of God primarily and God’s purpose for this great nation. So much of God’s plan for the nation and church was in limbo, or hanging in the air and intercessors had become weary; too tired to birth these plans (too fatigued to push through in prayer).

 

The Spirit of the Lord was hovering over the nation to release the nation from delay. The Lord is the pilot in charge of the affairs of nations and peoples. Regarding imminence of judgment on Israel the Lord commanded the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy saying; “Thus says the Lord; “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’” (Ezekiel 12:28). The Lord is speaking regarding the imminence of change. He is speaking similar promise as was in the days of Ezekiel that there shall be; “no more delay” to release of fullness of divine blessings to God’s people. No more delay on justice due to the righteous in Christ. No more delay to disciplining or judgment of individuals, and institutions that have stood as symbols of rebellion to God’s plan and purpose for the body of Christ and the nation (Ezekiel 12:22-23). In this new cycle of time, intercessors would be revived again, and be lifted by the hand of the Lord (might of God) to “see” (perceive/understand) situations, and circumstances that have become typical of the valley of dry bones scenario in the book of Ezekiel. The day has come when “very dry bones” (seemingly hopeless situations) will receive life and become pride of the nation, and nations. In context of national reformation, hope must not be lost amidst darkness that is seeking to engulf the nations. Prophet Isaiah prophesied; “For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you” (Isaiah 60:2). This is that time to shine forth the light of God. Those who would be used to “prophesy” to the valley of dry bones; to speak hope to seemingly hopeless state of a nation have had to be prepared by the same situations that they will speak to in this season. Those who are to prophesy to valley of dry bones have had to experience dryness in their own affairs and now the time for reversal of fortune has come. Ezekiel had to identify with the dry bones, understand the state of their dryness and the number trapped in hopelessness before he was instructed to “prophesy!” The Lord revealed that He will dress up prophets and intercessors in fresh mantles of ‘strength and zeal.’ He will restore their shield of faith so that they too could speak life to deadlock situations and release the wind of God’s Spirit for greater acceleration to come. This is that day!

 

 

The time has come for landing of hopes, dreams, visions and aspirations at national, community and individuals levels. The time has come to break the stronghold of hopelessness created by delay in physical manifestations of hope carried in the womb of spirits for long stretches of time. Solomon the wise says; “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12). The desire has come! No longer shall aspirations, dreams, and visions seem unattainable. No longer shall the miracles of generations gone past appear to be fables. The Lord Himself shall oversee the restoration of His house in Great Britain as a house of glory (the ecclesia, and individual Believers, and nation if enough prayer goes forth). Hope that has hung in the air (things hoped for) thereby creating gaps and vacuums over the nation shall be landed (settled as reality or answers to prayers). The ten (10) minutes delay to our appointed time of landing due to traffic congestion revealed spiritual activities and contentions over destiny of the nation that was causing ‘delay.’ But the Lord who knows the plan He has for the nation; to bring her to an “expected end” was now revealing through personal experience that the time for change of season will come in 2010. Delays must therefore cease; and greater acceleration will be seen. The church has had to go through a decade of preparation, largely underground and undercover for a time such as this, to produce a people; a remnant who shall be willing in the day of God’s power (Psalm 110:3).

 

 

The atmosphere of the aircraft was also used to deliver another message. The alertness in the atmosphere signified ‘attention or attentiveness.’ The eager to land passengers were alert and listening out for news about the landing, hoping there would be no further delay. The Holy Spirit compared the atmosphere in the aircraft (confined space) to the atmosphere in the nation. It was revealed that Believers were alert and anxious also for good news. Many people are ready and prepared for change. They are listening out for the news, awaiting just that one bit of hopeful word that will trigger release of faith needed to put our heads between our knees like Elijah, to birth a new spiritual order in the nation. Greater force of prayer is needed to establish foundation for ascending to higher realms in faith. Intercessors will be clothed with new robes of authority to press into God, and to birth new mindsets, new movements, and new shifts that will see the nation regain her place of influence in the global scene. The way of the Lord is bright and clear. The way of the Lord brings hope and direction. The way of the Lord does not create anxiety or put His people in suspense. He promises, “Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). God does not change but He makes us understand and to know that His ways and His thoughts are higher than man’s (Isaiah 55:9). Before He does a new thing (change), He promises to inform His prophetic church and His prophets in particular (Amos 3:7). When the Lord reveals a change of season it is important that His children who believe and receive His word declare and proclaim it over seemingly hopeless circumstances and situations that stand like Goliaths (Amos 3:8, see also Job 22:28, Hebrews 4:2). The Lord is speaking to the church (body of Christ), to individual Believers on behalf of the nation we watch over as watchmen that a ‘set time’ has come to loosen bonds of wickedness (Isaiah 58:6). The word of the Lord is saying that there shall be no more delay (hope deferred) and no postponement to the words that He speaks to His people (Ezekiel 12:28).

 

 

The body of Christ carries the wind of God within her. The Holy Spirit is with us as He was in the beginning, but this time awaiting the words of apostles and prophets that will release the four winds into action, to achieve God’s intended purpose in this season.  God asked Ezekiel to call the breath from the four winds to breathe life into the dry bones (to the state of expectation of the nation and God’s people in Israel (see Ezekiel 37:9). Ezekiel did as he was commanded and activity began that saw a very hopeless state become something of value to the nation-military might (Ezekiel 37:10). When the time came to overtake chariots of wickedness in Israel, Elijah asked Ahab to ride on, to go ahead of him in his chariot because Elijah knew the force of God’s Wind-the Holy Spirit would power his ministry to overtake the old order of idolatry (1 Kings 18:44). The Lord will cause to be birthed new structures (new wine skins) and new models that will serve as vehicles of transformation. Watch the face of ministry change and watch the sound of the church change in this season, to advance the cause of God’s kingdom in Britain. Sound is carried by the wind and in turn sound reveals new rhythms and momentum. The message of the gospel of the kingdom shall come in power and with power in a distinctive that will achieve the seemingly unachievable in terms of government-church relations in Great Britain.  When Elijah prophesied the sound of abundance of rain although it had not come down physically, he was literally informing Ahab that his (Ahab) defeat shall come by ‘sound.’ The sound shall be of release of rain, a total confirmation that his worship of Baal, supposedly a god of rain was purely due to deception and lust of the heart. Issues of the heart shall be exposed and dealt with in the government of Great Britain and also the church in this dispensation of time.

 

The prophetic word of God serves like scissors; cutting through time to release divine activities from delay. When the word of the Lord goes forth, it cuts through barriers of ignorance; bringing light of revelation and sight (Ephesians 1:17-18). When God spoke at the beginning of creation, activity began, leading to the setting of an order for all of creation (Genesis 1:3). God spoke and broke the delay caused by chaos and vacuum in the deep of the earth. God’s word cut through time and brought forth light, and life. Also, in the days of Saul’s dethronement, the nation of Israel went into delay because the prophetic was in mourning over a necessary transition to a new spiritual order. Samuel’s emotion literally held back the hand of God’s clock and brought delay until the Lord spoke to ‘cut through time’ and to bring the prophet out of mourning and into reality of change. God questioned the prophet Samuel thus; “How long will you mourn for Saul seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel” (1 Samuel 16:1). The state of mind of the prophet affected the edge of the blade of his prophetic ministry and nearly caused a case of mistaken identity. In this season the Lord shall sort out issues of mistaken identity.  Delays are not denials but delays can cause denials albeit temporarily. In this season, the scale of heaven shall weigh every case of mistaken identity suffered by Believers inn covenant with God and restoration shall be overseen by same institutions similar to the case of the Shunnamite woman of 2 Kings 8 (see verse 6).

 

 

As the ten minutes (10) time of delay expired, the pilot announced we were ready for landing. The aircraft charged downwards with speed and determination to land on time. I could literally feel the force of the pilot’s focus and determination to land the aircraft on uncluttered surface. The Holy Spirit desires to guide Believers and the corporate body of Christ to uncluttered surfaces where room has been made for our destinies. Watch out for revival of ‘dead’ industries for benefit of Believers who have been prepared to take over businesses that will suffer crisis in this dispensation of time. The nation is not yet out of recession but for the Believers, our progression in life and unveiling of God’s prophetic timetable is on a different news channel from the earthly ones. Bear in mind that the delay to my flight into London after nearly eighteen months away was so that congestion in the air (symbolic of spiritual wars in the heavenly places for the control of the nation) could be dispersed. The aircraft landed at exactly 3.00p.m and I distinctly heard the Holy Spirit say; “The hour of prayer is upon Britain.” As I hurried to write down an extension to what I had been journaling in the period of delay (10minutes), the Spirit of God took me to Acts chapter 3 and the encounter of the apostles with the beggar at gate of the temple called Beautiful. The Lord revealed that Peter and John activated the anointing they received at the birth of a new order at Pentecost in the hour of prayer. The bible says they entered into the temple at the ninth hour which is 3.00p.m. The aircraft headed for London landed at 3.00p.m which ordinarily should not cause a stare, but this was not an ordinary flight. It was a message encrypted in signs to those who will hear by the Spirit of God in a time and season of parables. The Lord also revealed that many Believers are like the cripple at the gate of the temple so also is the church. He likened the church to the same cripple who was so close to possibility of transformation but preferred to beg outside of the parameters of where we ought to be (positions of influence).

 

There comes a time when stand-stills, delays and postponements must end. This is that day that the siege of delay must be broken off the lives of God’s people. The time to land dreams and visions without fear of contentions and quarrelsome Philistine-types has come. The time to move forward into an ordained future with focus and determination is here (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11). After an announcement made twenty minutes before landing (2.40p.m), there came another announcement ten minutes later (2.50p.m) of a ten minutes delay. There was an eventual landing (3.00p.m), and release (disembarking from the aircraft).

 

 

There is certainty of change of circumstances for Believers who have walked the part of righteousness over the years, and for those in rebellion who repent also. Number twenty (20) is the number for ‘redemption’ and number ten (10) symbolize ‘completion’. Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross of Calvary and by this sacrifice of self, paid a once and for all price for those who are His Believers today.  The blood of Jesus Christ is still the symbol and token of our salvation. The power of the blood of Jesus Christ; and the power of His resurrection shall be made manifest in the lives and affairs of Believers who take the posture of prayer like Elijah and travail for divine favor to announce their new season. Intercessors need also to stand in the gap for the nation and insist through prayer on the release of the prophetic destiny of the nation. This is the hour for the body of Christ to expect and intercede for manifestation of the power and benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ in their every day life. The time has come to petition heaven to affirm the church in her inheritance that is rooted in the blood of Jesus. The Lord revealed that a time of Passover was on the body of Christ. God is breaking the stronghold of delay to reset ‘time’ in line with His plan and agenda for the nation (Exodus 12:1).  Israel was thirty years over the time ordained by God for their captivity in Egypt (see Genesis 15:13, Exodus 12:40-4 1). The absence of revelation and strategy cost them time and put their destiny in delay until God raised a deliverer. It is time to wage the good warfare with prophecies made previously concerning nations and peoples.

 

The state of the economy, government policies, housing market may challenge your faith, but remember the way that a young man cleanses his ways (casts doubt from his or her mind) is to take heed of God’s word (Psalm 119:9). These are the days of unveiling of divine mysteries, and also the Lord is speaking in parables with the hope that his people will mature in interpretation and catch the heart of his message. The wisdom of God will not be hijacked in this dispensation of time by opposing armies of demonic kingdoms, so Believers need to develop fresh hearing by the Spirit of God. Also, it is important to manage divine wisdom received in this season with great caution, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. These are days of dethronement and enthronement, displacements and replacements. Vashti-type has to come down in the day of Esther’s rising. Do not cast your sight wholly on the natural happenings but lift your eyes like Abraham so that you can ‘see’ (perceive, comprehend, understand) the mind of God for His children. There is an apostolic, ‘take over’ army that must rise up armed with education, knowledge and skills to take over and remodel ‘things’ that must crash in this Day of justice (Obadiah 15). Therefore; “When they cast you down, and you say; “Exaltation will come!” Then He will save the humble person” (Job 22:29).

 

May the Spirit of the Lord strengthen you with His might, and may you be dressed with zeal to “recover all” in this year of restoration (2010). May every cycle of delay and postponement be broken off your life and may the power of the risen Christ be manifested in your life to the glory of God. May the shout (shabach) of Zion be heard in the land and may the glory of Zion (you, the church) shine forth in this year. May those who seek your destruction meet with darkness in the daytime (frustration) and grope at noontime as in the night (Job 5:14).  The Lord shall deliver you in six troubles, yes, in seven no evil shall touch you (Job 5:19). You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes. As a matter of fact and biblical truth, you shall laugh at destruction and famine (Job 5:21-22). In this year of completion created order shall be at peace with you. The moon, sun and firmament shall reject programmed curses they received in years past that has worked against your life in seasons and times (Psalm 94:20). For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the beats of the field shall be at peace with you (Job 5:23). You shall walk in your dominion as a Believer and covenant child of the living God in this year and beyond. You shall stand as a wise steward of God’s manifold wisdom and intercede for release of the destiny of the church and nation of Great Britain.
