Significant Prophetic Words
Lights burning brightly in the darkness of the coming days
Introduction
The word of prophecy which follows was received at the South West Bible Week at Sidmouth in August 2022. In order to avoid possible misunderstanding, I should make clear that it bears no relation to the triumphalist thinking of Dominion theology which became evident during the later years of the Charismatic Renewal movement.
This utterance was received spontaneously following a time of worship one morning. The large gathering of those who heard and accepted it as genuine consisted of mature praying believers, representatives of the faithful remnant who believe and hold fast to the Word of God, and mourn over the present apostasy of much of the professing Church.
My understanding is that this word was given by the Holy Spirit to encourage a faithful remnant people in the days of increasing darkness and difficulty which lie ahead of us. In the darkness and despair, God will use his people who hold fast to the word of truth to glorify himself and bring many to salvation.
I have heard no promise of ‘revival’; only that God will be powerfully at work in times of trouble. He will work through those people of humility who know him, and know that without him, they can do nothing. If and when by his Spirit, God chooses to use his people to perform genuine supernatural works, it will be as it has always been: to glorify his name by demonstrating his compassion, and to attest to the truth of the word of life which is being spoken. The Holy Spirit will allow no glory to any man, but only to Jesus.
The word
“Beloved, we stand at the brink of something big and new; not new to me, but it will be new to you. I have in store for those who truly love me such things as you have not yet experienced. I have an outpouring of my Spirit which I have longed to impart; indeed, for a long time I have wanted to impart it.
But now I am separating out for myself a people who love me for myself. I have watched for many years for such a people, and on those of you whose hearts are truly towards me I will send my Spirit in a new way.
You will know my power, you will know my love, you will know my grace, you will know my faithfulness, and you will see me answer prayer in a way for which you have longed.
You will know the fullness of my Spirit working within you in ways you have never known before. You will know my power, you will know my love, you will know my grace, you will know my faithfulness, and you will see me answer prayer in a way for which you have longed.
You will see the lame walk, you will see the sick raised from their bed and you will see the dead raised in these days to come, because I have been longing with all my heart to have a people whom I can trust to give the glory unto me and not take it unto themselves.
Beloved, I have preserved for myself a remnant for these last days and my heart is overflowing with joy; and I long, I long to speak to the world through a people who want only me and nothing for themselves; and through such people I will speak to the world.
I long to speak to the world through a people who want only me and nothing for themselves.
I am not a merciless God who will make judgements without extending mercy and I will give mercy to those who will turn and repent. And there shall be a greater harvest than you have dared hope and there shall be larger numbers than you would have expected; and yet, beloved, I call upon you to stand strong because these will be hard days. The days will be difficult, they will be difficult for the world, they will be difficult also for my people because there will be such division that men will either love me or they will hate me with a satanic hatred, and there will be very little in between.
Do not fear those who will persecute you, but fear only me. For beloved, I have all things in my hand. Do not think for one moment anything in your lives or anything in the world around you is out of control. It is not. For I am the King, I am Supreme, I am Sovereign. I have in my hand all that you need and I will never let you down. I will never forsake you; I will never fail you.
In your darkest moments I will shine in with my light, and you will know in a new way the greatness of your God. Therefore, be encouraged, be greatly encouraged, because I am intending to do things which you long for and thought you would never see. I am with you. My beloved, that is all you need. All you need is that I am with you, for Christ in you is indeed the hope of glory: the hope, the assured hope, the guarantee of glory. And you will shine like lights in the darkness. As the darkness of these last days increases, as the fury of the enemy rages, so my love will become even more apparent.
In your darkest moments I will shine in with my light, and you will know in a new way the greatness of your God.
The world will see and know those who belong to me and many will turn and many will come to me, and there shall be a harvest for which I have longed, and for which many of you have longed. You have thought perhaps it would never come.
Beloved, there may be some of you who do not see it, who do not see it because you are already seeing my face in glory. But many will see it and you will rejoice, and your rejoicing will be such as to carry you through every test and every difficulty because my joy will fill you, my love will surround you and I will work in you such trust that you need never ever have any doubt that your God is with you.
Beloved, be encouraged with these words. Take them to heart and be expectant that I will bring to pass all that I have intended.”
All prophecies should be carefully tested and weighed, and we invite readers to consider this prayerfully. See also the related article by Clifford Hill.
