A Pensive Silence in the Heavenlies

While praying for Britain I have become aware of a pensive silence in the Heavenlies - as though there is an anticipation among both the angelic host and wicked principalities and powers - a still, questioning, "which way will Britain move, which way will she turn?"

These beings have no power or authority to move Britain one way or the other - they are waiting on the Body of Christ in Britain to make the decision of direction. It is we, the Body, who hold the power and the authority to determine Britain's immediate future. God has placed before us life and death - and we must choose one or the other now - we will choose by either action or inaction, by pressing forward or by simply doing nothing. God is listening. Heaven is waiting.

Principalities and powers are waiting. There is release of glory or release of hell on the horizon, and what comes next depends on what the church does next.

The following is a continuation of the word God gave me in November of 2005. You will find this in the form of a dialogue between myself and Jonathon Stuart-Brown of Silent Partners UK, based in England. For reference, please read the article at The Guardian Unlimited.

Dear Greg,

Your prophecy and also Chuck's (Chuck Pierce) prophecy about England having until the end of November 2005 to choose is being confirmed by God.

Sunday morning, biggest peacetime oil depot explosion ever in Europe. (see Guardian articles).

Hundreds of miles of black smoke over southern England just west of London. The main freeway in England is still closed a day later. Totally closed. The fires are burning and out of control. The skies are black and people are coughing. Windows were blown out all over.

Absolutely ZERO interpretation in the news media of it coming from God.

It is our FINAL WARNING.

No-one killed: a miracle. Many injured but none killed. But last time this will happen.
We urgently need prayer.

People will not repent unless Christian voices break through in the media to explain WHO is doing this and why.

December 19...Parliament to pass Religious Hatred Laws dethroning Jesus as King of this nation...He will be placed alongside and often beneath other gods !

December 19..Parliament...Christians can be arrested and go to prison for 7 years for preaching The Gospel, reading from The Bible...

December 21...homosexual marriage starts...Elton John will be among very first..

Blood of Jesus bless and defend Jerusalem, Israel, The USA and UK.

God Bless,
Jonathan

Jonathon,

I've been extremely troubled since hearing of the blasts at Hemel. In fact, Hemel was on my mind in the early hours of Sunday morning, and I was praying for my friends there long before I rose.

Hemel-Hempstead was the first city to invite me to minister in England in the late 1990's. Since then I've visited Hemel so frequently that relationships have deepened to the extent that I consider Hemel to be a second home. Our friends in nearby Berkhamsted are as dear and close as those in Hemel.

God has given me several prophetic words for the church at Hemel over these years. Last Spring I spoke to governmental, social and church leaders there (the borough of Dacorum, Hertfordshire County). I spoke on behalf of Hemel-Hempstead Community Church. I also talked with the leadership of HHCC which is also known as "Haven House." I encouraged them to open their hearts, their purses, their doors to EVERYONE. . . to embrace the entire community, not merely the Christians of Hemel and Hertfordshire. Together we sought God for ways to carry His mercy and grace to the city in order to show people Who He truly is.

"This is a pivotal time, season and moment for the United Kingdom. As God looks from His heaven upon you, He sees not a "United" Kingdom, but a disjointed and divided land that in its pride and in its arrogance holds to the old form of a Kingdom but which has in truth deteriorated into a state of confusion and spiritual anarchy. England has sown the wind."

The Lord seems to be emphasizing Hosea 8:1-7 to my spirit:

"Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the Lord, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law. Israel will cry to Me, 'My God, we know You!' Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him. "They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them. From their silver and gold They made idols for themselves-- That they might be cut off. Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them-- How long until they attain to innocence? For from Israel is even this: A workman made it, and it is not God; But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.

And especially this: "They sow the wind, And reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; It shall never produce meal. If it should produce, Aliens would swallow it up."

Chapter 10 contains this: "Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you", but it comes only following chapters 8 and 9. Read these chapters carefully.

I hate "judgmental prophecy." I love to bring positive, encouraging words that uplift and bless, yet God is speaking clearly and loudly - "The days of punishment have come; The days of recompense have come. Israel knows! The prophet is a fool, The spiritual man is insane, Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity. The watchman of Ephraim is with my God; But the prophet is a fowler's snare in all his ways-- Enmity in the house of his God. They are deeply corrupted" (9:7-9).

. . .Continuing to pray that the United Kingdom will indeed repent and will become truly a United Kingdom.

With a deep burden for you (England) and for America,

Greg
