PROTECTION AND SECURITY
And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. (22) For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:21-22, BSB)
Strategic Positioning
Under the emerging New Order there will be a more disciplined approach to our spiritual lives, worked out earnestly on the threshing floor of the heart. For protection and security we must follow the leading of the Spirit in the next season. In order to align to God’s next move it is imperative that we are obedient to the instructions being given by the Spirit. As the servant chosen by God for the 7-fold healing mantle I will be given the instructions for the Elect Church to follow.
“He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” (Psalms 37:6. BSB) With reverential fear I announce that I have received in my spirit the instructions to write that the divine favour of the Lord bestowed upon me has given me a strategic positioning in the Elect Body of Christ. It is God’s divine vindication promised me. “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:30, BSB). I am humbled as the Lord’s favour towards me avenges and makes right the painful episodes of the last 10 years in His New Order. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous to behold.
Fasting For Heaven’s Assistance
I pass on what the Spirit has fed my spirit regarding protection and security for the end time Elect Church.
Everyone must be disciplined, fasting 1-day a week for protection against the pandemic. This request is part of a more comprehensive Lifestyle Programme revealed to me as part of a strategic global Community Health Project. It is heaven’s blueprint for mankind’s safety and protection in uncertain times. This fasting for protection is being introduced now as we see the nations being plagued by the pneumonic virus. I urge that people begin to incorporate this timely Spirit-request into a weekly 1-day discipline. The fullness of the Lifestyle Programme will be rolled out as the Spirit reveals all concerning this forceful strategic mantle. For seasoned christians you may already have a weekly fasting routine so keep it going. But this will be relevant to the many coming to the Kingdom in this end time. What is occurring is a design of evil to prematurely bring an end to our lives. Like Ezra in the verses above, I believe our protection and safety from all encroaching evil will be guaranteed by our spiritual discipline of a sacrificial offering unto the Lord. I woke from sleep in early November when this word was given to me. I was under a great level of resistance to release this word then, so I am only now just getting it out. You needed to hear this word because of the recurring health problems facing the world. It is a serious word for a critical time and must be taken seriously as we are indeed living in unprecedented times of chronic fear and instability besetting humankind
As a way of providing scriptural context, I will frame my thought into Ezra 8.21-22. “And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. (22) For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:21-22, BSB). The narrative of these verses reveals the challenges the returning Jews could encounter on their journey home to Jerusalem and the provinces. After leaving exile the returning groups had to endure dangerously long travel through the wilderness. In bible times, travelling hubs and nomadic groups had to contend with marauding gangs, wild animals and other life threatening situations. These journeys were exhausting and testing on the physical body. It was particularly difficult for families with young children and the elderly. The prophet Ezra was granted favour by God to ask assistance from King Artaxerxes towards the national rebuilding work in Jerusalem. Ezra could not contemplate asking yet again for escorted travelling protection. The King would have known the journey was perilous and as he had not offered security assistance, Ezra determined to solely trust the God of their forefathers for safe passage to Jerusalem. He issued a proclamation that the group humble themselves in fasting in order to elicit the help of God for divine protection.
Ezra brought them to the Ahava river banks were the multitude of priests, elders and family groups along with cattle assembled for three day. Ezra, weighed with the responsibility to watch over the people, scanned and numbered the group taking note that there were no Levites amongst the group. “Now I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I did not find any Levites there.” (Ezra 8:15, NSAB). The Levites were the God-ordained tribe responsible for temple matters and worship. Iddo, an elder assisted Ezra and messengers were sent to bring some of the Levites remaining in captivity to come and join the travelling group. Ezra and the people then humbled themselves in fasting, as they bowed down to seek divine protection over their lives and possessions. In Godly fear they would trust God on His infallible word, the testimony of their faith for a safe passage through hostile territories.
A Collective Effort
It will be a Herculean spiritual challenge to make heaven in these end times and will require a Spirit-unified effort by the Elect Church. Collectively as a force for good in the earth we can command evil to bow in submission by our co-ordinated efforts. The sum of our whole as the Elect Church is greater than our individual parts. Hence, why I advocate and announce that the Elect Church will come under strategic leadership. Under a strong anointing I was compelled to write this in one of my 2015 books. Therefore, it is without doubt it will be so.
The Lord will build and lead His Elect Church against every assault levelled against Her. As the chosen servant earmarked for this time I will emerge from the shadows to my rightful position, assigned by God. “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18, BSB). I have heaven’s protection against any attempt to subvert with evil intent this strategic move . On that understanding, I can hereby forge forward with urgency. The strategic need for healing in the nations has never been more pressing. In this ‘kiaros’ moment i have been called to the kingdom for such a time as we are experiencing. The strategic gift bestowed to me is the 7-fold mantle of healing that the nations need.
In this end season the world will plunge into greater woes as world conditions deteriorate. World leaders will become bereft of solutions to the systemic problems emerging from the pneumonic plague. They will turn to the Elect Church for solutions as she becomes more glorious, influential and relevant to the world. It will be profoundly impactful as the new kingdom platform, the ‘bimah’ is raised up before the watching world.
A Steel Platform
In an earlier dream I had, I was driving an articulated vehicle on a solid foundation, noticeably a very thick steel platform. This denotes the spiritual foundational robustness and quality of the end time Elect Church. The end time spiritual platform has been built by God and the people will be protected against the gates of hell. (10) “By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. (11) For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (12) If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, (13) his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. (14) If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.” (1 Corinthians 3:10-14 , BSB).
It has been ten years, in isolation that I have been building this platform. Under the watchful eyes of a loving Father I have been trained and prepared for this time. This level of discipline and dedication has secured the spiritual structure from which the end time Church of creativity, diversity and differentiations will work from. The Church is a global ‘Speckled Bird’. In truth, our implicit biases towards each other are euphemisms of unrepentant hidden sins, signs of ignorance and intolerance to our human differences. The great ‘Speckled Bird’ will be celebrated in this end season.
Our Lord will draw together our human uniquenesses into a beautiful tapestry work of cultures, race, ethnic groups, tongue and creed. The ‘universal tribe‘ of the Bride of Christ. I am just so excited, I feel a rippling effect surging through me, tingled with unceasing expressions of love, ecstasy and unfettered joy at what God has done for His longing people. It will be the dismantling of man-made organisational church structures. In this ‘kiaros’ moment we will see the zenith of the Church Age, in its Rapture-ready state. The 7-fold releasing mantle will be the means by which we can be healed and restored back to health. With due respect to current denominations, God requires that we pay attention to the platforms from which we have worked from. They have worked for a time but in this next season a new unified spiritual structure is required to withstand the levels of end time evil coming against the Church. We need each other, led by the Spirit. What is issued from heaven through God’s chosen servant who will follow in the footsteps of our Lord is what will take place as we spiritually negotiate the challenged unknown journey to heaven. Let us hear this word and obey what the Spirit is saying. to the universal Church
Turkish Woman’s Dream
I will just conclude by sharing a dream a Turkish woman, unknown to me, from the Alevi community had. She has never been to the UK but her daughter was divinely connected to me in London. Her daughter did say to me that she had never mentioned me to her mother. The dream was recalled by the daughter to me. In my presence she had a call from her mother who was known as a dreamer in her community in Turkey because her dreams always came to pass.
The woman recalled that in her dream she saw a black woman on a large raised circular platform and people of all nations were around the stage. She proceeded to say that in the dream the hands of the woman were raised up to the heavens and she was weeping. As she spoke it was as if someone else was speaking out of her.
Immediately the daughter turned round, looking at me she said, ‘Mum I know who that woman is. Her name is Gwen and she is here with me’. I was stumped with amazement because she dreamt everything that God said to me regarding the call. I was called as a prophet to the nations and I would be His oracle. The manifestation of the anointing when the rush of the Spirit comes upon me is evident with weeping. I said to the daughter that God wanted her to know who I was. Her mother’s dream was for her benefit because God had shown her to me in the spirit as significant to the end time work with the Alevi people. Since that day God has had her on her own spiritual journey of faith awaiting His next move.
