From Remand to Revival
From Remand to Revival — a prophecy and a gentle Warning of The Holy Spirit, about to move into action.
I heard this, “The Church is on remand** — but she has been reprieved!” at the Bless Wales Conference in Swansea in 2019.
The LORD seemed to draw everything together for me into a sentence that encapsulated what had been said.
The LORD gave me this Word out of all the Words spoken during the whole event.
I hear The LORD saying, “The coming Revival is so unlike any previous one. It will not hit everywhere! It will not affect everyone!
The Glory of God will only rest where The Glory is welcomed! The Glory of God will only remain where it continues to be welcome, and where the stewards remain faithful to the task of stewarding.
It will cost everything — yes, everything!
Where a Church rejects revival — for any reason — that Church rejects God’s Presence, and His Spirit will not bring Revival again.
For many Churches, this is a final chance. You are on Remand — and a reprieve is offered.
Commit to accept, receive, and steward revival, or reject it!
Repent now, receive and welcome revival — or miss out completely!” says The LORD.
“The Pillar of Fire is outside your door, and all you’re doing, is complaining about all the smoke instead of welcoming The Presence of God!”
The LORD is seeking those who will be truly radical, truly committed, and truly willing to be anointed and carry His Presence every second of every day, everywhere they go!
This is not my Word, but inspired of The LORD by what we have seen, heard, and experienced these past days.
We have been in His Presence, and I don’t want to be anywhere else — ever again!
In the words of that wonderful old gospel song:
“Saviour, Saviour
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by!”
Yet, even as I write this, I hear these words, “Please — Get out of My way!”
I hear The Holy Spirit moving around, but I sense He can’t move freely. I hear The LORD saying, “Please! Don’t stand in My way!
Do you expect Me to move on Your Church, your town, while you keep trying to control everything I try to do?
I want to blow all your cobwebs away. I want to bring refreshing, renewal, and revival, but you keep telling Me the constraints you want placed on My activity.
I want to release the tide of My Love to wash over you, to cleanse you, to woo you and all around you into My Kingdom of love and hope.
I have so much for you all. Do you to trust Me?
Will you not allow Me to pour out My love upon you?
Can I not fill you with My Presence, and send you out as carriers of that presence into this desperate world?
Will you not carry My Hope to those searching for hope?
Will you not carry My Deliverance to those searching for Deliverance?
Will you not carry My Healing to those searching for Healing?
Will you not carry My Love to those searching for Love?
The choice is yours!” says The LORD.
“Stay where you are, continue to block My Spirit, and receive little or nothing. Or, surrender yourselves to My Way, make yourselves available, and carry revival into your land that I may heal it and prosper you.”
**on remand : to order back: such as a) : to send back (a case) to another court or agency for further action, b) : to return to custody pending trial or for further detention (Merriam-Webster.com)
