A New Unity
This came up in my memories today and The LORD said to release it again, with some updates, as it is very much appropriate for today.
Everyone talks about unity in terms of denominations. It’s been tried and failed abysmally for years, although a remnant of the so-called Ecumenical Movement still lives on even today.
The LORD just showed me a slightly different viewpoint on Unity.
Suppose, just suppose, there came a movement towards a greater unity of doctrinal beliefs — still retaining denominational fences — heaven forbid we should ever do all those power structures out of business!
Sounds crazy, a total contradiction of terms, doesn’t it? After all’s said and done, nearly ALL denominations were founded on doctrinal arguments.
The fact remains that, in the first century, the Church was one Church, with all their issues. It was only when pride, spiritual pride, stepped in that one group stopped talking to another group and denominations were formed.
So what did I see, or hear, The LORD showing me?
The first thing I saw was Cessationism ceased as more and more people started praying in tongues!
Then I saw Replacement Theology torn up as people saw God’s Hand upon Israel.
Next came the Prosperity Gospel, closely followed by one-fold ministry being replaced by five — again as more were baptised by The Holy Spirit!
So-called Hypergrace liberalism was next, once again as The Holy Spirit moved in revelation power amongst them.
As I saw these things, and more, I sat shaking my head, as much in disbelief as in wonderment.
I heard The LORD say, “You can’t imagine it, even less see it happening, can you?”
I replied, “No LORD, I can’t! I mean, this would take such a quantum leap as I could never really imagine it happening?”
“Watch!” was all The LORD said.
What happened next made me gasp in joy, wonder, excitement — you name it.
Every emotion ran through me. I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. It re-ran, like a video clip on repeat.
I saw a wave of The Holy Spirit flow over the entire earth. this time I focused in a little bit, then closer, then closer again.
I saw entire Churches all over the globe being baptised by The Holy Spirit!
“But LORD, they don’t believe in this!” I yelled at one point!
“They do now!” answered The LORD, with a chuckle. Some, of course, still rejected it, fought against it, even ran those who received it off the premises. But many received their baptism with great joy — and much repentance.
Then I watched as newly baptised people came out of their denominational walls and joined together in unity of the Spirit.
Old doctrinal differences swept away by the realisation of The Truth, God’s Truth, there was a great joy among God’s People, as they began to come together as one and in one accord.
As The Word says,
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1
“Can this really happen, LORD?” I asked.
He answered with a scripture,
“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27
I was amazed, then reminded of Habakkuk 1:5,
“Look among the nations and watch — be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.”

He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them!

This is an excerpt from the words for the church 2023 wrote. It is clearly all about ‘Unity’ and the lack of.
In December 2022 whilst at Cambridge Revival Hub, I heard the words:
W: There is a shadow moving amongst you
Then a vision:
V: I saw a spider web, there were many churches of different shapes and sizes stuck in the web, some were trying to struggle free but were contained by the strength of the web. The spider was moving between the churches. As I heard a word given by Stephen (a member of the group) about breaking spiritual chains, the vision changed to the Spirit of the Lord hovering over dark, formless land. As the Lord began to move, His creative force illuminated the land and I saw the whole web being destroyed. The first vision continued and all the churches in the web came into alignment and formed a circle.
P: It was also relevant that all the churches suddenly became equal size and shape when the Lord moved.
I had seen the vision of the Lord hovering over dark, formless land two weeks previously. I was then given Genesis 1:2. God is about to do something.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1:2
But there is a time before, the time to prepare.
This is just part of what I released this year. Amen
Love it!
Having lived in a fishing community touched by many of the revivals, the marks on the communities were plain to see. Grown men weeping in the streets, fishermen heard singing hymns in their boats. Many saved from alcoholism with the resulting poverty, neglect and abuse of themselves and their families. (Fruit of the Spirit is self control). They attend church on the Lord’s day to hear the preaching of the Word. There was a fear and reverence for the Lord. Changed in speech from using the Lord’s name as a curse to it being a treasure on their lips. Instead of chaos, God brought order into their lives. They worked honestly to provide for themselves and their families. Now there are those who have never experienced the kind of chaos and poverty who seem to think it is ‘fun’ or ‘godly’ to encourage people to go back to that.
I am really glad that I found this message of Unity, the Lord began to imprint on my heart with a burden to Pray for Unity in the body of Christ in the 2013-2014 within which period He began to show me his workings towards Unity, it shall be that what shall propel Unity shall not be a Revival but a revolution, in such times of some sort of war would the called come to Unity in Christ.
