FROM JUDGEMENT TO RESTORATION
‘Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children’. (Psalms 90:16, ESV)
‘I have heard all about you, LORD. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy. (Habakkuk 3:2, NLT)
On Sunday, 23rd October 2022 , I woke in the early dawn to these pressing thoughts. Firstly, these thoughts of the judgment of God leading to restoration has been with me since the late summer before Rosh Hashanah 5783. (2023). I was a little perplexed because I was not receiving in my spirit that it was a generic word. I knew it was intended for a specific target group. I was unsure where the Spirit was leading and which peg to hang my thoughts on. In my heart, I knew that it was not for the current church community. God’s judgement under the releasing of the 7-fold mantle first began in the Body of Christ. The Spirit has been at work, purging His people on the threshing floor of the heart.
I now know the words given to me, over this timely, designated period ,is swiftly coming to pass and they pertain to the Alevi people and the nations. I envisage that the judgement of God that precedes restoration has to occur in this ending season of 2022, the Year of Release. I confess that I have been a little unsettled in my spirit where to go with all that I am receiving. As always, I trust the Spirit to reveal things with clarity, so I kept the thoughts in focus, prayed on them and continued to press in, listening for a directive.
On 25th October I heard further instructions. What my spirit digested was that the time is approaching for the word given to me in the winter of 2012, concerning the 7-fold churches in Asia Minor (Revelation 1:11) is quickly coming into being. I clearly heard that there will be judgement before restoration. God is sending a clear message to the Alevi people to strengthen those things that have remained from your spiritual heritage , for the Lord has not found you faithful. God will do a new thing amongst you ,but the Spirit that cleanses and makes whole must first chisel into the spiritual nooks and crannies of your collective flawed belief system. The same Spirit of a New Pentecost is the Spirit of Truth that will thresh the floors of the sinful hearts. We all come under the judgment of God before He blesses and restores us to spiritual wholeness.
The Rising Remnant
“I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus. (10) On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, (11) saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” (Revelation 1:9-11, BSB)
The judgement of God is not to destroy when we are obedient to repent. Rather, it is His discernment concerning the end conclusion of a matter. His justice and wisdom in bringing a divine closure to the final chapter of apostle John’s stirring ministry is beyond comprehension. Jesus’ favourite disciple is here honoured because he did a great work with the Anatolian brethren, until the churches fell into disrepute, apostasy and idolatry after his death. A remnant remained, faithful even under the most challenging of times, as religious fallacy crept in and became the priority of the emerging nation. There is always a remnant that will not bow to the pressures but will lift up the Name of Jesus in the earth. What I am receiving is that this season of judgment will take place amongst the Alevi community, as God sets the spiritual boundaries in an atmosphere of divine order. The revealing of the hearts is now taking place as Jesus does a transforming inner work of cleansing. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 2:29, BSB). “…These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.” (Revelation 2:12,BSB)
The role of a prophet is to bring healing and restore God’s divine order in the hearts of humankind. The role is uncompromising and the fear of God is a covering for His servant. The rising of His remnant cannot be interfered with by the state, religious orders or any strategic powers. The authority given by God to His Son, Jesus, the subject of all this global phenomena, has been conferred upon the Kingdom Church. It is our authority to rule, judge and command God’s will in the earth. God said to Jeremiah, (17) “Get yourself ready, stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them. (18) Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. (19) They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,”, declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 1:17-19, BSB).
Build And Establish
During the earliest of my spiritual prophetic journey, I was given Jeremiah 1:10. “See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” Recently I have been brought back to this verse in a soberly reflective manner. My spiritual journey has been of exceptional challenges and the fullness of divine understanding is now being proffered to me by the Spirit. As I move towards the culminating chapter of what God intends for me concerning the 7-fold churches of Asia Minor, I am profoundly humbled. In this end season of 2022,, the releasing of all things in the earth that have been structurally resisting and held up, will now gives way to the Spirit of Prophecy.
Justice and righteousness are twin signatories of God’s kingdom works and these qualities have penetrated into the strategic construction and constitutions of nations to bring about Godly change. The dismantling of evil continues as the deep secrets of Satan are exposed and his seat of power laid bare, before the watching world. What I am being fed is that the spiritual fight to destroy and cast down have now ended but the dismantling continues leading to building the assignment and then its establishment .
The end of this 2022 Year of Release is the turning point, a kairos moment. The world is on the cusp of spiritual and strategic changes, ushering in God’s New Order. It is now twelve years since my spiritual journey of testings and personal loss commenced in earnest. During those years of the destroying agents, my remit was to fight in spiritual warfare . It was to build a spiritual structure according to God’s specifications. It was what was needed for this end-time under the 7-fold mantle, the prophetic grace given for the nations. The structure has now come to fullness. The 2023 prophetic season we are entering into is to build and to establish what has been forged in the secret chamber, under God’s covering.
The Role Of The Spirit of Prophecy
The Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy to search the hearts and minds of His people. This is what was said of Him by Simeon in the temple in Jerusalem, (34) “And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (35), (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.” (Luke 2:34-35, BSB). Under the probing eyes of the Spirit, there can be no restoration of the broken down spiritual walls, except there be repentance, forgiveness and healing. This is the season when the 7-fold mantle of revealing and releasing of the troubled longing heart is at work, with intensity. (4) “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first (5) Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.” (Revelation 2:4=5, NLT).. God is saying to His people in the collective Persecuted Church , I know all your works, how you have suffered for your love of Me, Jesus. God’s Word is saying, remember the former foundation laid by my servant John. Any other foundation that has been laid in the passage of time is counterfeit. The Spirit urges getting into the Word ,the pillar and ground of biblical truth The foundation that was laid by apostle John was in Christ Jesus . Many years of neglect, apostasy and idolatry has revealed the rot that has set in. The inferior foundation, set in place for centuries has corrupted the spiritual, hallowed ground of Truth. Yet, the root of Truth, the Testimony of Jesus has lain deeply in the spiritual soil . The wooing, pleading Spirit has continued to shift and stir the hard ground for this momentous time. The 7 eyes of the Spirit of Truth, faithfully pierces into the pitiable conditions of our fallen humanness to reveal the true state of our hearts. The Spirit is saying, though ye are spiritually dead, yet shall ye live. The fallen mighty army of apostle John’s spiritual legacy is about to be raised up according to our Lord’s leading.
Prophesy To The Dry Bones
(4) “Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. (5) Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. (6) And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD. (8) …But there was no breath in them. (9) Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” (10) So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.” (Ezekiel 37: 4-5, 8-10, BSB).
In this prophetic season many are coming to spiritual life from all corners of the globe. The great Kingdom Church is arising to her rightful position in a fallen world. God is saying to the Alevi people to strengthen those things that have remained from your former christian heritage so that you will be healed and made whole in Christ Jesus. It will be done through the Spirit, along with this prophetic remit. The global Kingdom Church community will be behind this restoration project, with God-appointed ministry partners on hand through this remit, ready to assist. You are not alone, because God has provided the help and support needed for you to come into your God-given spiritual authority with the Pentecost-Spirit power.
I truly believe, that as we hurtle towards Pentecost 2023, the establishment of what God desires in the place of the 7-fold churches will take place. No spirit of fear can prevent it occurring. So Be It! Amen!
A Bloody Scene
Many things have been revealed to me but I could not come to you until the time of release was given. The time is now. The flaming Sword of the Spirit will pierce into every obstacle, because no stones will be left unturned to fulfil the God-given word revealed to me in the winter of 2012, . “I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches”. The Spirit is saying that He will overturn the lax spiritual environment and reveal the hearts of the people. He will lay bare every corruption and falsehood. God will not build on your spiritual rubble. He will clear the spiritual debris, silt and hidden dark works to commence His restorative plan.
Figuratively, there will be a spiritually ‘bloody scene’ as the 7-fold sword of Jesus is unsheathed and released. The Sword of Truth will not be spared in this season. Jesus came to bring the division that exposes the realm of darkness. The decay exists because of generational corruption and spiritual instability. It is time to establish what God has given me for this group and to build on the new, unshakeable and sure foundation in Christ Jesus.
Violently Taken
Finally, without any shadow of a doubt, everything to be released in the closing Year of Release have been accomplished in the spiritual realm at the ending of the Civil Jewish Year of 2022 in September. All prophetic revelations for this season have now been released. We just await the manifestations of those yet to be revealed. These are the ones that have been assigned for the glory of God.. Praises will now guarantee their release.
I then heard in my spirit to declare restoration for the ministry buildings and my possessions that have all been violently taken from me over the season of loss. I am assured that the abnormal demonic experiences I encountered have been for the glory of God..
I am comforted that in the restoration of a London building , God will reveal to the Alevi people His power to restore all things by faith. This miracle will be the precursor to the restoration of Alevi cemies (worship centres) that have been historically denied them. As I processed what God was revealing to me, concerning the spoils from my long battle, I was fed in my spirit that my exceptionally daunting experiences of 7-fold evil with ministry properties have been encountered to build the spiritual muscles needed to help this ardent group.
It was in a book, ‘A Bloody Scene’ written in 2019, that God instructed me to write about the spiritual battle and the victory that comes to those who trust God for their deliverance.. The Spirit is saying to me that those behind the violent take-over of my ministry properties, will be exposed in this season. I have no fear writing this as I am instructed to do so. Everything given in the Spirit and written under this profound prophetic grace will now come to pass. With fear and awe as God’s strategic oracle for this end time, I humbly announce what has been Spirit-revealed shall now come to pass.
