A very personal testimony.

I was still in the early stages of my Prophetic Menteeship under my old mentor.

The LORD put it in my mind to call a ‘Revival Meeting’ for Wales. In fact He gave me the entire Vision and blueprint for an event — from health and safety, to the use of television links to sixty-four nations or cities around the world.

It was a phenomenal Vision. I got expressions of interest from God TV, from two or three leading pastors around the world — “If you get it organised we will join you!”

I even had brief discussions with police and emergency services in Cardiff.

But God’s crowning achievement, through me, was in getting the Millennium Stadium to seriously accept that such a serious ‘Religious Event’ could be staged in The National Stadium!

What happened?

I went with a colleague to the Stadium to sign the contract, only to have it snatched away as my pen hovered over the paper!

Why, LORD?

I was learning obedience to God’s Voice.

I can only assume God was testing me like He tested Abraham. It was a training exercise!

Even as Abraham raised the knife over Isaac, even as I raised a pen over the contract, God was testing my obedience!

Just as Abraham would have lost his son, so I would almost certainly have lost everything if I had signed that contract!

Yet I was absolutely certain that God wanted me to sign it — and that He would make it happen!

God was teaching me something then, in 2001, that I’ve only just realised the importance of it now, in 2024.

I was terribly disappointed at the time, but I’m eternally grateful today. It could have cost me my marriage, my family, my home, everything I held dear — even my Faith?

So, what’s the upshot of all this today?

Do you know, I’m still not entirely sure! I just know that I might think about it a little longer if the situation came up again now.

I might try putting some personal safeguards in place for me and my family today.

I do know that God loves me and protects me, even from myself! And I love Him too. And I still carry a heart, and a burden, for revival not just in Wales, but all over the world.
