These are prophetic insights

Visions…

In 1991 I was in South Africa over the easter period and over a short while received a set of visions that I believed were related together. I am very exercised that a) we are in a season of fulfilment and b) I am very challenged as to the shape of the outworking of those [...]

Personal transition: leave and enter

“How one leaves the last setting will be a key as to how one enters the next one…” This is true at many levels – the old adeage that is often spoken in the context of marriage: ‘there has to be a leaving in order for there to be a cleaving’ is very true. It [...]

Prophet as sign

Prophet as sign: this was what I spoke on at Burton upon Trent Friday 7th, March. It is over an hour long – sorry! Sue was my best critic and she used to tell me: ‘too long, just say what you have to say and stop!’ So a summary: There are prophets who are signs [...]

Bradford: strategy of the twos and threes

When travelling to Bradford I saw a new release for small ad hoc groups to make adventures into the enemy’s camp – like Jonathan and his armour bearer. This might not fit well into centralised strategy, but the next phase is of a strategy that the Lord puts together – even when we do not [...]

Podcast: Occupy the Gates

This is a copy of the message I gave on January 10th (special date for me) in Orangevale, Ca. It is concerning the need to occupy what we clear. So it follows a trajectory of the Christian faith being a world changing faith, with the gates of influence being highlighted, where we need to see [...]

The narrow gate (Andy Knox)

A good friend, Andy Knox, sent me this yesterday. He is someone who hears the Lord accurately, and when I wrote about ‘the gate’ he was encouraged to send me what he had been hearing. I commend it to you for prayer… again it is possible what is released in 08 is released then but [...]

2008… a year marked by the open gate

2008… a year marked by the open gate Does God move in year spans? No – he is the eternal one. Yes – he visits us in our world and our time-frame. Does God do something new? No – he is continuing to outwork consistently his purposes toward the new creation. Yes – he works [...]

The 'Gates' of society

Gates

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:

  • Arts & entertainment
  • Business, commerce & trade
  • Education & training
  • Family & community
  • Health, science & technology
  • Media & communication
  • Politics, government, law & order
