For those who have emailed and also called in the last few days… will get to reply; our internet connection has not exactly been 24/7. Home at last – to 37degrees C / was 23 when we left. Spent the last couple of days in Madrid. Good to be there on the anniversary of 15M [...]
When in Romania I gave a prophetic word to the team – it often interests me what comes out in a prophecy. I have learned so much as I have had to wrestle with how something could be after hearing a prophetic word. I do not have the aspect here transcribed that I will refer [...]
[I am just making this a quick post from Budapest - our time in Romania was nothing short of amazing: so inspiring, and I will give some feedback on that trip once we are home in Spain. Here are some reflections that have been bubbling away for a while.] I have written about what a [...]
So a very short post while here in Romania. Had a great day seeing what is being done on the ground. Oh my!!! Working with the poor, helping them get established with food-growing that can feed a family for 6 months of the year from their own greenhouse. And that is just the beginning. I [...]
France has a new president elect. If we can lay the rights and wrongs of socialism / capitalism on one side (and actually the socialism of Hollande is probably not very left at all) the election marks a shift in Europe. And by this I do not mean a simple shift of to the left [...]
We are off today to Romania to work with the NetWorks team. Although this will involve teaching and input to what they are doing, I suspect we will receive more than we give. Of course no mission work / ethos is perfect but I am sure that holistic mission is not only the way forward [...]
Here I suggest that in Revelation we have the telling of the same story but in different ways. Essentially there are three stories each one the same but told differently and with different imagery. (Tales of the End by David Barr deals with this very effectively.) Story 1 is the opening three chapters: telling the [...]
Number 3… hope they are reasonably helpful, but definitely not the definitive last word on it!! In this one I am looking at 4 ‘key markers’ in the book. Four times John states that he was ‘in the Spirit’. He sees the Risen Christ, the throne room, the prostitute, and finally the bride. Given that [...]
I have been very interested in Iceland and how it will navigate its future partly as I had a waking vision of ice covering Europe and then a few weeks later the volcanic ash covered Europe from Iceland. I saw Europe – stretching into Russia, covering also the southern states down to the Black Sea, [...]
In the second video on revelation I try to look at the nature of apocalyptic language and also the shift from ‘normal’ imagery in the opening chapters to ore cosmic language in the following ones, to a shift to mythic language.
Well I have taken the plunge and decided to run a bunch (not too specific there) of videocasts on the final book of our canon, and a book that is not in some canons, but they really are missing out. Not planning to give all the answers – and if I let my guard down [...]
Much of the material that will be central to these posts will cover perspectives on the 'gates' of society, the places of influence that shape the culture. If transformation is a desired outcome, such aspects as strategic prayer and understanding the redemptive gifts of places will play their part. As prayer opens up space, filling it will be vital, not in a controlling, top-down sense, but with a servant spirit. Finding appropriate terminology is difficult. Maybe 'transformation' is not the right term, perhaps 'transfiguration', where inner qualities burst through.
I have chosen to use the term 'gates' and although they can be defined any number of ways these are the seven ways I have chosen to group them by:

Revelation #5
In this video I take a look at some of the numerical structure that undergirds the book. There are obvious ‘sevens’: seals, trumpets, thunders, bowls; less obvious ones: beatitudes, for example; and some lovely intriguing combinations such as ‘Jesus’ mentioned 14 times as is the term ‘Spirit’. The two by way of contrast that has [...]
