“You have sought la Gloire, but Ma Gloire, My Glory, must be your highest priority now.”

The Word of The LORD has been brewing for some time with a series of interconnected Messages.

Due to ongoing frailty I have been praying over them and I will be releasing them very slowly but surely as The LORD directs.

On April 18, 2026, The LORD said, “Ma Gloire! Ma Gloire! Ma Gloire!

France, you have been both mourning the passing of, and yet simultaneously enjoying the resurgence of, a kind of preeminence in the world.

You have enjoyed being a major player on the stage of the world, and having performed for so long, you enjoy doing so with a degree of sophistication, finesse and polish that sometimes seems lacking in current affairs.

You have played the game, but you have not always played it as well as you think you did.

You have allowed ego and posturing to influence your policy; while shooting for the stars you have riddled your own foot with holes, and you have wasted lives and resources I gave you for better and higher purposes.

My dear France, I will be changing this if you seek Me now.

Your whole mindset needs renewing in My image.

Your laws of laïcité, protecting the secularism of your constitution, have relegated My Holy Name to the lunatic fringes of your society.

You are La France-Dieudonnée!  Reclaim My Name from your gutters and proclaim Me from the rooftops!

Macron cuts a figure by worldly standards, but I have bespoken leadership waiting for you.

If you are willing to ask for and receive it, you will have leadership

• whose greatest qualification is a heart for Me;
• whose greatest charm is humility towards Me and 
• whose greatest refinement is righteousness before Me.

Let go of your prejudices.  You think of yourself as forward looking but you are still stuck in a loop of the hatreds and rivalries of past centuries, even of the last fifty years.

You mourn and regret a greatness that was improperly won and was never yours to keep, nor to impose on others.

Nurture friendships with your neighbours, even ones you previously sought to disparage, destroy or disable.

Learn how to walk in true friendship and unity with others. 

Not for prestige and not because you will need something from them later, but because, as with true friends, despite your barbed jokes or deep disagreements, you do actually love them, and for all your pride and your many faults, they do actually love you.

And I AM Love, and those who love Me must live in Love.

I will be sending you Prophets from Nations you have formerly mocked or resented, but I want you to really learn how to cooperate with others.

This is for your own good!

Do not mock them.  Do not resent them.  Do not feel superior to them.  Be more willing to acknowledge that you are not perfect.

Have the humility to learn and accept their help and you will step into a higher level in Me.

My Holy Spirit is moving in nations with whom you have often been at odds and often are still.

Come to peace in this.  It is for your good.

My Holy Spirit will be overflowing from The United Kingdom, and I call on you now to pray for them and to invite and receive this.

Do not be proud.  The United Kingdom is God-given too, and they will more than happy to share unconditionally if you humble yourself and just ask.

Don’t try to puff yourself up.  It is The LORD Himself Who will be your strength and glory.

Trust in the living God!  My life is both now and is to come.

A golden age is coming for France and for other Nations.

It will be a time of glory which is not based on conquest or colonisation or cultural supremacy.

It will be founded in willingness to humble yourselves before Me and walk in obedience and blamelessness before Me.

You have sought la Gloire, but Ma Gloire,

My Glory, must be your highest priority now.

Exalt Me, France!  I AM The LORD your God.  I will not yield My Glory to another!”

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to The LORD with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.”   Psalm 3:3-4.

“The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.”   Habakkuk 3:19.

“I AM The LORD, that is My Name; and My Glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images.”   Isaiah 42:8.

“For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come…
…. For to this end we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.”   1 Timothy 4:8,10.

A History Recounted

In the past, monarchs of France were known for the glittering prestige of their court and the strength of their power at home and abroad.

Many were also known for their intrigue and constant interference in other nations, playing off one country or ruler against another, in the interests of France, strategies that did not always go according to plan.

Here’s an example: In 1638, after 23 years of “not exactly happy marriage”, King Louis XIII and his queen, Anne, welcomed a healthy son, whom they named Louis-Dieudonné or “God-given”.

Shortly before his birth, the king rededicated the nation of France to the Virgin Mary.

This may not meet with your approval, but as France was a Catholic nation, it was nevertheless a move towards The LORD.

Great things were expected of the baby, who just five years later became King Louis XIV.

Early in his reign, French forces made a seemingly insignificant land-grab for the tiny but prosperous and predominantly Protestant principality of Orange.

The Prince of Orange was Dutch and only nine years old, so mighty King Louis felt quite secure in defying such an insignificant little boy.

The French ambassador, as representing the King to the Dutch, insisted on taking precedence over the young prince, which once led to a stand off, in a narrow road, between their respective carriages.

Daft as this seems now, precedence mattered and this petty act by a grown man against a boy was actually intended to enhance French prestige on the international stage.  Oh dear!

Louis, after decades of living the high life, became very religious in his later years and revoked the Edict of Nantes, persecuting and driving many Protestants from France.

Did Louis gain glory for France?  For some, his lifetime marks a golden age in French history.

France increased in size and it’s undoubtedly true that French influence, French prestige and the spread of French culture grew enormously throughout his reign, though this was also hugely due to the policies pursued by capable statesmen such as Colbert, and the flowering of the arts through talent such as Molière, Lully and Le Nôtre.

The Palace of Versailles that Louis worked on is often thought to be a consummate triumph in itself.

Louis was an “absolute ruler” and was able to centralise even more power, in an era when many governments were doing so.

This was considered good at the time, though for us now, we value responsible constitutional power, and the last fifty years have been more about devolving power back again.

“So what?” you’re probably thinking.  Put all of this together with something else: Louis’s decades of dabblings in the politics of what is now The United Kingdom.

Some of these strategies to increase the greatness of France eventually backfired.

Firstly, thousands of Protestants fled France and settled in other lands, to the cultural and technological enrichment of those nations and the corresponding impoverishment of France.

Secondly, when France tried to conquer the Dutch, thinking they’d be easy to overcome, the Dutch turned to, yes, you guessed it, William, Prince of Orange, who built up a coalition against Louis.

William later ousted his uncle King James II/VII of England and Scotland and became King William III, increasing his leverage against the French.

Louis made significant territorial gains, but not nearly as much as he should have for the men and resources he expended. He never conquered the Dutch.

In addition to drawing the French government further into debt, causing the needless deaths of many people through utterly meaningless wars, and generally making himself obnoxious to much of Western Europe, Louis was also saddled with the permanent presence and expense of the exiled King James AND James’s family AND James’s entourage, who proved a liability in many ways for decades afterwards.

Some believe the horror and bloodiness of the French Revolution was The LORD’s retribution for generations of monarchical misconduct, godless government and frankly “bonkers” religious and foreign policies, including the missed opportunities of the reign of Louis-Dieudonné to have forged a nation that walked more closely with God.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but not always helpful.

I think God is always good, and I don’t think The LORD is ever vindictive or petty, but it is certainly true that, in the end, those particular strategies were not so brilliant for France after all.

God’s way is always better.

He who made the stars can mould whole nations to the likeness of Jesus.

Take time to seek His wonderful face and He will extend His hand of friendship and favour to you.
