ON THE LONDON ATTACKS [INCLUDES PREDICTIVE ARTICLE N COMMENTS SEC]

I was awakened this morning at 4:30 am, unable to breathe. Around 5 am, the Lord told me to turn on the television and watch the news. I had been praying about our trip to England that I leave on this afternoon. When I turned on the news, Tony Blair was making the statement that London has been attacked by terrorists. The underground transportation network and bus network in central London had been suspended due to several bombings. Actually, the bus that was shown on the news that had been attacked was very close to the hotel we are scheduled to stay in.

Here is the word I gave 40 days ago concerning London and Great Britain [Qx: See both linked docs below in the comments section]:

If you remember, when we returned from Nigeria in late May, the Lord had us stop in London overnight and I spoke at a County Tour meeting in London County. I gave a very detailed word that within 40 days the nation would change. You can read the details from this report here:

When I was in England in May 2004, I gave a word about an 18 month window for the realignment of that nation. This realignment would set the course to determine the next seven years of spiritual activity. In that word, the Lord said, "Do not resist in this season of war. Raise your shield of faith high. Do not become complacent and sympathetic with the enemy that is in your land. If you do, your land will be overtaken . . . Governmental and social banquets should be watched carefully."

I believe the G8 Gathering that is going on in Scotland is very strategic to change a course of world finance. This bombing occurred at the beginning of that gathering.

We are returning to England because a gathering has been scheduled to begin today in London. This meeting is called AWAKEN. The purpose is to change the course of their nation. This meeting is hosted by Rod and Julie Anderson, and runs from tonight through the 10th. They share, "In an environment where for a few days we can all gather to pray and seek God, with no agenda, and no concrete schedule, we believe the synergy that takes place could birth much insight if we will have ears to hear.

To create this atmosphere we need to pray and depend on God to awaken people's hearts to the 'Now Move' of the Spirit of God. God's word is all truth, but then there is the 'present truth' that the Lord wants us established in (2 Peter 1:12)."

Other speakers include Dutch Sheets, and Tom & Jane Hamon. The team traveling with me consists of Dutch Sheets, Marty Cassady, Ginny Marks, Robert & Linda Heidler, Joe & Vonnie Askins, and Brian Kooiman. Then on Sunday night (July 10), I will be ministering at a citywide gathering in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In light of the upcoming marches (Protestant versus Catholic) that are scheduled to begin there next week, this is a key time to see the Body of Christ arise in a new way in Northern Ireland.

In a separate email I will be sending out the clear word that came forth in the most recent Tuesday morning prayer meeting that I lead. This is probably one of the most incredible words that I have received from heaven to direct us for this season. So be watching for this word. The Lord began by saying,

"Many people are trying to use old methods of warfare to win the war they are in. The only way you will win the war from this point forth is through violent praise. You cannot win any other way ... If you do not shift now, you will not be able to see the nations shift. I am sending you back to the root of this nation. Shift the root through violent praise...

This is the time to open up the window of your future. Do not go backward. For in the next 10 days if you retreat then you will see the window of your future close, you will find yourself on the wrong side of Jordan, and your promise will not be able to be maintained."

Quix comment: I believe there will be much more of such warnings and events. Those with ears to hear will hear. Those with hardened hearts and/or who have convinced themselves or bought satan's lie that THEY have it ALL figured out may well not hear at all or very well.

GOD'S INTERVENTION OVER LONDON AND THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND -- Prophecy Coincides with Historic, Unexplainable 90-Minute Stop of BIG BEN CLOCK

As we were waiting in London for our flight to Nigeria, we looked out the windows and saw an interesting pattern in the clouds. There was clearly a sword emblazoned in white across the sky. We knew the Lord was communicating about the SWORD that had come into the atmosphere over London and England. At last night's meeting in London, I explained how this is a year of signs in the sky. Not only did we see this when we were coming through England on our way to Nigeria, but also when we arrived back in London for our overnight stay. The picture over our desk in our hotel room was a picture of London. The sky in this picture was the formation of a sword where two jets had intersected their contrails.

Sharon Stone (a prophet we work with, not the actress by the same name) is leading a prayer effort across England to gather God's people and pray in every county. This is very similar to what Dutch Sheets and I did in America as we went from state to state in our nation. God had sovereignly ordained us to be in England for a layover so we could be a part of the historic Middlesex County gathering in London. (We met in the heart of this area that hosts the financial and governmental capitals of the United Kingdom.) There is a structural weakness that God is addressing in the system of government in the U.K. If God does not intervene now, England will be absorbed by the European Union. As these groups of intercessors meet from county to county (this was their seventh county meeting), the atmosphere in that nation is beginning to change. (I know that Martin Scott and other groups are also praying throughout England at this time.)

I explained that we "saw a sword in the heavens over London and England." I then led the people to ask "what does this mean at this time?"

I explained prophetically that any vision or supernatural phenomenon must be interpreted in light of the Word of God. In the Word of God, a sword can have the following meanings: war, pending judgment, a malicious tongue bringing division, the power of truth, a weapon linked with the armor of God or a piece of armor used in warfare to produce victory. I went back and shared various scenarios from the Word of God linked with the sword. I explained how Jesus in Matthew 10:34 stated, "Think not that I have come to seek peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (ASV) I shared that this was a time that the sword was being awakened in the atmosphere over London.

One chapter of importance that began to surface was Numbers 14. This is the chapter where Israel refuses to enter Canaan and Moses begins to intercede for the people. I concentrated on two verses. Number 14:3, where the congregation cries out saying, "Why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?" (NKJV)

They actually tried to elect leadership that would take them "back" to their familiar captivity.

The other Scripture was Numbers 14:43, "For the Amalekites and Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the LORD, the LORD will not be with you." (NKJV) I shared that I could hear the Lord saying that this was a critical time and the next 40 days could determine the reversal of the power of unbelief that was holding the Church captive in that nation.

This was the chapter where the people were punished after they were not willing to go to war when they saw the giants in the land. I felt the Lord saying He wanted to take a sword and cut from them the power of unbelief and passivity and the fear to war for their inheritance.

However, I ended with Joshua 5. I saw a tremendous pattern that God was trying to bring forth. This chapter includes 1) the concept of crossing over to advance toward your inheritance, 2) circumcision, or cutting away, of the reproach linked with your past captivity and unbelief, 3) the provisional change from manna to eating the produce of the new land, and 4) the visitation of the Man of heaven with the drawn sword.

I reminded them that I saw the sword in the heavens over London, but did not see what hand was holding and guiding it at this time. I decreed that tradition would not guide the Church from this day forward. I also decreed that false religion (the sword of Islam) would not be able to be the guiding force over England. From this passage I felt like God was saying, "I want to take charge over England and London for this hour. I want to be the Commander in Chief over how you progress forward from this day on. I want to transfer a new power over you so you can face that which has been invincible in your past. Contend for My sword to begin to lead you in victory against the giants that you have been unwilling to face in the past. This is your time."

Please continue to pray for London. Once I gave this word, Brian reminded me that at the end of the 40 days we would leave again from America and be in London for three days of meetings in July. Pray with me during this crucial time.

INSERTED ARTICLE BY STEVE SHULTZ and USA TODAY: "Big Ben stops for 90 minutes, baffling engineers"

Note by Steve Shultz: Please observe that the temperature reached 90 degrees and the clock stopped for 90 minutes . . . both a record for the history books. Perhaps there is meaning . . . a sign and a wonder for London, for England -- Steve Shultz

(AP) -- Big Ben, the landmark London clock renowned for its accuracy and chimes, stopped ticking for 90 minutes, an engineer said Saturday.

Officials do not know why the 147-year-old clock on the banks of the River Thames stopped at 10:07 p.m. Friday. It resumed keeping time, but stalled again at 10:20 p.m. and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting up again, said an engineer at the Palace of Westminster, which operates the clock.

The engineer requested anonymity because he was not officially authorized to speak to the press.

There has been speculation a recent spell of hot weather may have been to blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 Saturday, and forecasters called it England's hottest day in May since 1953.

But the engineer said the cause was unclear.

"We've been told there was a minor glitch, but then it was started up again," he said.

Big Ben survived attacks by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War II, continuing to mark the time to within 1 1/2 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.
