I wrote about this three years ago — and since then there have been monumental changes in the Church scene.

So, this morning, The LORD prompted me to write a catch up, or update.

It’s still critical, but it breaks my heart too that the discernment level within The Church is still so low as to be virtually extinct!

Being a Dad and Granddad, I know the price of love, and I hope you understand my comments.

I am still reading, watching, or listening to the prophetic output of Britain and The United States of America — and one cannot help but compare the two once again.

On the one hand, we still have many well known and established prophets from The USA, boldly giving Words that speak into, often critically, the present turmoil that is The United States at this time.

Many are calling for Intercession and Repentance for the country, while others speak to the condition of Christians and The Church, and still others prophesy boldly about that which is to come.

In short, the American prophetic scene is probably healthier than it has been for years.

Then I look at the British prophetic scene. What a difference!

Whilst there are one or two of the well known prophetic United Kingdom (UK) voices in agreement with their brothers and sisters across the pond, and there are several unknown — or at best lesser known and lesser regarded prophets — like me, doing similar things to their American counterparts.

I still hear virtually nothing of any real substance coming from senior or leader prophets in The UK. Indeed, most things I’m hearing from the leaders is still fuzzy, comforting stuff with barely a word of challenge or real prophecy — it’s NEARLY ALL ear-tickling and LITTLE SUBSTANCE.

The Church in Britain is, for the most part, in turmoil, still rolled over, having surrendered most, if not all authority to the political establishment.

I have heard hardly any church leader, prophet, pastor, or apostle, who has taken any real stance.

The exceptions are still few and far between, although that number is growing.

The levels of Discernment were very low three years ago. The level is a little higher — now but discernment is still sadly lacking.

There’s still time for the British Prophetic Movement to fully wake up, and have the courage of their convictions, and to speak into the lives of all British people — speak into revival, speak into the present situation, speak into what’s coming — speak something relevant rather than staying silent or just speaking comforting ear-ticklers!

It is time for us to speak into the seven mountains of influence, particularly the mountains of politics and religion.

The LORD is awakening society as a whole, and His Church in particular, and He’s waiting for our Prophetic Declarations and Decrees that will tear down the evil, that will release His Angel Armies into our situations.

It’s TIME!

It’s time for the prophets, apostles, and intercessors to start — if they’re not already — working together now!

It’s time to stand and stay standing, whatever the cost! The Kingdom of God must ascend — and we must repent and bow the knee before His Throne!

Written in reverence and fear of The LORD.

Postscript

There are in excess of 30,000 churches in The United Kingdom.

If there’s more than 300 “wide awake” Churches — that’s probably an exaggeration — then it’s still only 1%!
