Starting
early January 2024 I sensed that God was speaking to me about the season we are
currently in spiritually in our nation, as well as an urgent issue to target in
intercession. He also spoke to me about an important spiritual connection with
the
1. Exile
The Father
gave me the word “exile” and I sense He is saying that we are entering a season
of spiritual exile right now as the body of Christ in the
I felt the Lord say: “For years I have warned you, I have called out to you to wake up, to turn from your wicked ways, to renounce compromise and to stand strong with the sword of the Spirit in one hand, lifting high the truth of my Word with the other. But you have been complacent; you have been in disbelief about how serious I am, and how short the time to repent really is. For the sake of your own comfort, your own agendas, and because of your affections for the things of the world, and for refusing to forsake your past, including all offences and wounds, you have become dull, deaf and blind. Despite this you have made the assumption that a glorious exodus lies ahead of you, but I am telling you now that a season of spiritual exile is upon you instead. You have wrongly believed that you are rich, but instead I see that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked (Rev. 3:17). You have abandoned seeking me while refusing to surrender to my holy standards, and why should you now be surprised that another spirit has taken over, and someone operating under its control will soon sit on the throne to rule and make decrees over your land in full view of everyone? There is not much time left now.”
Although the full extend of the meaning of a spiritual exile will have to be seen, I believe this will manifest in a variety of ways over the coming years, far beyond the general moral decay in society, and the persecution and silencing of individual believers we have seen so far. What we have been hearing about in the news occasionally will become a reality and a very tangible, direct experience for most in the Body of Christ in this nation. Freedoms that we have long taken for granted and that have already been eroded here and there will be stripped in ways and in a magnitude we have not seen before nor could have imagined. We will experience the cost of loyalty and obedience to Jesus in our jobs, property and belongings, physical bodies and even in our relationships with other people. We will taste the bitter cup of the Lord’s favour having lifted from us, firstly as the Body of Christ, and secondly as a nation.
In this new season of exile, the Body of Christ will live as if having been forced to live away from its native country, having lost its long-standing authority to spiritually govern and determine the shaping and expression of laws, societal life and beyond. However, there will be those whom the Lord will use even in this trying season to have a remarkable impact and experience exceptional favour (which I will expand on in section 3 of this word). I feel to add that the Lord is wanting us to know that while this season of exile is by His decree (as all things are ultimately under Him), it is a direct consequence of our actions, inactions, choices and attitudes (Galatians 6:7).
There will
also be an increasing division between “believers” in Jesus and “disciples” of
Jesus. Even the demons believe in Jesus’ existence and acknowledge His identity
as the Son of God (Mark 5:7). Only a disciple of Jesus will continually walk in
obedience, sacrificial surrender and increasing love and devotion to their Lord.
The Father is asking each one of us today: “Are you a believer, or are you a
disciple of my Son? What price are you willing to pay to present evidence of
the latter? Choose today whom you will serve (Joshua 24:14-15).”
2. Secret Power Infrastructures –
Pray for Exposure
I also
sensed God say: “For years, a vast network of diabolical secret power infrastructures
has been built.” The sense I got when He was speaking these words was that
these are not physical infrastructures, but rather nonmaterial and spiritual
ones. “These are hidden infrastructures that facilitate exchange of
information, goods and finances. A favour for money here, a favour for more
power and influence there… (Prov. 17:23) It is a vast network and it includes
the area of politics, the financial sector, the ideological/educational sector
and the spiritual sector, draining and robbing away resources, the control over
places of importance and positions of influence from the Body of Christ. These
are channeled towards powerful individuals and institutions that facilitate the
spread of hellish ideologies, and to those seeking to change the face of
British culture and society in such a way that the ‘old way’ which once carried
the fingerprints of my Word, laws and ways will no longer be recognizable.”
Even though a spiritual exile is now unavoidable, I sense very strongly from the Father that the call is still – and more than ever – to repent, and to choose purity. “You must urgently, I say URGENTLY repent my people, and you must pray for the exposure of these secret power infrastructures and those guarding the accesses, exits, the movements within and those who continue to facilitate and finance their expansion even now.
I sense that the extent to which we will experience this new season of spiritual exile will greatly be influenced by the level of repentance, intercession and surrendered adoration coming forth from us now. We may still influence and alter how things will manifest for the Body of Christ. We must find our voice now, we must find it before the throne of our Holy God, and we must find it before those we have connection and influence with. Whether we are doctors, teachers, factory workers, stay-at-home mums, cleaners, politicians, pastors, evangelists or artists – if we claim to belong to and follow the Lord, we must take a stand now: Before His throne, and before the world. We can only be secure in the Lord if we choose repentance and obedience now.
“So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…” Philippians 2:12-13
“Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choice of you…” 2 Peter 1:10
When the
other nations of the earth threatened and attacked
I also felt
the Lord say: “Repent and be clear on what you stand for: My holy laws, values
and ways. If you have forgotten what these are, seek my Word and seek my face,
as I remove your blindfold! I will not stand for the cursing of my chosen
people
“Ask me for forgiveness and mercy, and pray for the exposure of these secret power infrastructures within your land, and those working to operate and expand them. Brace yourself as you hear about who will be exposed as being involved. These will be people common sense would never have allowed you to believe could be involved in such evil. These will be people and organizations who even faithful followers of mine would have never dared to imagine could be key players. There have been very small exposures here and there, but it’s time to step these up now, and to pray that those playing a part will be brought to decisive, uncompromising justice for the cleansing of the land which is urgently needed.
“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but they can’t see. They have ears, but they can’t hear because they are rebellious people.” Ezekiel 12:2
“Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.” Isaiah 1:7
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. ‘You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:12 – 13
The Lord
will be found by us if we seek Him, and just as with His people
I believe
and sense there will be incredible moves of the Spirit of God in the days to
come, supernatural displays of His glory and power, and that the Lord will be
faithful to His promise to bring about a great harvest of souls, but it will be
as the fires of testing, refining and persecution burn that this will take
place. While the Lord has been waiting for us to pay close attention to what He
is speaking, we have turned to our religious programs, entertainment and been
satisfied with very little, spiritually speaking.
3. The Lord is looking for modern
day Daniels
While pondering
and preparing to write out and release the above word, I felt God speak to me
about the significance of the call and role of Daniel in our upcoming season of
exile. The Lord is calling forth those from among His people who will walk in
unwavering faithfulness, exceptional wisdom and discernment, and who have
learned to partner with the seven Spirits of God (Isaiah 11:2). Even under the
most ruthless, oppressive and brutal leadership they will be given positions
and privileges of great favour, which their faithfully developed skills (Proverbs
22:29) and the revelatory realm of God will open up to them. They are those who
have already withstood great tests in their journey with the Lord, and who have
set their hearts to follow Him without compromise, whether He will or will not rescue
them out of any given situation.
These Daniels will have the determination to be unapologetically loyal to the Lord and yet show no hatred or even personal disdain for oppressive leadership whose ways God does not support yet who He has allowed to come into positions of power in the days to come (Daniel 3:16-18). They will also be marked by hearts of love and compassion, combined with holiness, humility and courage. Their experience of the coming exile will greatly differ to that of the wider Body of Christ. Their persecution as well as their favour and experience of the glory of God will be on steroids! “Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.” Psalm 112:4
4.
When I
heard a short while ago that snap elections would be held in the UK on the date
that the USA celebrate their independence day, I felt further confirmation that
God wants the following word to go out at this time.
A few
months back I sensed that the Father is saying that the
The Lord has long ordained a significant partnership of the “older and younger brother”, and He is asking us as UK citizens and His sons and daughters to deeply, seriously and fully repent of any evil attitudes and judgments towards the USA as a nation, and to refuse to partner with even the slightest hints of thoughts, feelings or words that support this bitter root. There have been many positive and blessed spiritual partnerships over the decades (and even further back in history) between the two nations, but many more have been hindered through these deep seated attitudes of the heart.
It is time
to ask the Father and, when opportunity arises, our brothers and sisters from
and inside the
A final word of encouragement
As I was
driving to our local house of prayer here in the South East of England a few
weeks ago, I stopped at a traffic light and saw before me a sky covered in very
dark, heavy clouds, but in front of it a large number of white, almost radiant
seagulls flying freely. This contrasting scene caught my attention and touched
me deeply, and I had a sense that God was saying that those who are filled and
led by His Spirit in these days will soar high in such freedom and with great
joy and beauty, even in the midst of very dark and difficult times. I know He
wants to encourage all of us to draw near to Him, trusting in His good and
faithful care for us, and His unquenchable love that will carry us through every
challenge that lies ahead as we seek to surrender to Him more fully.
“…so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.” Philippians 2:15
“That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12
