Awakening the coastlands album

Rob Parker, from Bridlington, Yorkshire, is a gifted and prophetic worship leader and songwriter.

Late 2017, he produced an amazing album, Awakening the Coastlands. Described by one reviewer: “This album takes you on a historical yet prophetic trip around the nations of the United Kingdom, leaving you hungry for more…”

We believe one track in particular, Awake you who sleep, very much encapsulates the vision of Call the Nation to Prayer. Rob has graciously allowed us to make it available so you can listen to it here.

A prophetic word for 2018

This is a Word for 2018 that has been received from Pat Brown, from Chelmsford, Essex, who has a valued prophetic ministry. We feel it is relevent and encouraging to all CTNTP is about:

30 December 2017

A stormy time is approaching and it is coming because I am about to really move in power in the U.K and the enemy wants to disrupt this. Fear not for you know well that I have already won the victory!

Stand firm in my name, put on the armour I have given you and listen for my voice. Keep your eyes fixed on me because there is an acceleration of my work coming in the new year and I want my children to be ready to move forward in my power when I give the word.

There is no ‘one way’ to move forward, I will be calling various individuals and groups to move in different ways but the main thrust is that I want to take back all the land that the enemy has stolen over the years and to reclaim it in the name of Jesus.

This will be like doing a complex jigsaw; there will be many groups working in different ways and it may appear at times to be a bit messy , more like a conflict but I know what I have planned so it will be vital to keep looking to me, to listen for my voice, and to be completely obedient! Do not be concerned that others will be doing things and moving in different ways for I am in control and will bring the whole process together as long as you hear me and are obedient.

This will be a large and complex work and will take time so look to me for my strength and power and do not be tempted to move in your own strength, this will be demanding and tiring work.

When Jonah spoke to Nineveh the people repented and turned back to me, so too will this nation turn back to me as I speak through my children.

There are many links that have been developed between this nation and other countries over the years and I am planning that the work of salvation here in the UK will flow through these links to these other countries. This process will follow on as areas of the UK are claimed back and salvation comes.

I am excited about this whole process as I have longed for the UK to turn back to me, a nation that has drifted further and further away from me and my ways.

Take heart, my children, for I have heard your prayers and I am now ready to move in power and release this nation from slavery to sin just as I released my people from slavery in the days of Moses.

However, as this work progresses do remember to remain faithful to me and don’t look back and grumble as my people did in Moses’ time; they had to spend longer in the wilderness because of their grumbling and I do not want this for you. So keep your eyes fixed on me, be still and listen for my voice and above all be obedient to me, my children, then you will behold me moving in my mighty power and see salvation coming to this land!

Into 2018 and Angels, Miracles and Days of National Prayer

Welcome to the last news circulation of 2017 from Call the Nation to Prayer. We wish you all a most fulfilling and exciting year ahead, expectant that in 2018, God is going to reveal much more of His purposes for our Nation.

.
We are sure that the Lord has something quite extraordinary ahead for the United Kingdom, which has already been underpinned by much prayer, but as His plans unfold, they will require very much more, mixed with tenacious faith!We are finding many up and down the nation are in agreement, that the time is surely now for a move of the Holy Spirit upon the UK?

Is it not time for revival, perhaps even the
last great revival before the return of Jesus Christ?

Our Vision for 2018

In our news update last month, we spoke about releasing a Statement of Intent, the Vision for what we believe God has been telling CTNTP to pursue and be a catalyst to in the UK during 2018. We now have a small Team – click here for details – who have come together to produce the Statement and consider the next steps.

It has taken a little longer than first anticipated to get the Statement prepared, but we are now in the very final stages of putting the physical document together and very much hope to release and widely circulate it mid-January.

Please forgive us that we have not revealed anymore at this stage, but be assured that we will let you know as soon as that happens and be inviting you to come on-board!

Thank you all so much for your ongoing interest and support for CTNTP. May God bless you and your families during 2018.

The CTNTP Team

Angels, Miracles and Days of National Prayer

Sometimes God shows up in such power, so unexpectedly, so tangibly, that we actually physically experience Him at work. I was in a prayer meeting once, where from no-where, I could suddenly smell a beautiful fragrance fill the area where I was sitting.

Over the last few years, I have also witnessed many healings, typically with pain instantly leaving or a lack of movement being restored – even on one occasion witnessing a lady, deaf in one ear for 15 years, hear from it again!

Sometimes, and I have not witnessed this, angels appear or other events that are humanly impossible and without human explanation happen, or conversely harmful situations prevented.

Prayer seems to go hand in hand with displays of the supernatural power of God and in no small way, when a nation comes together to pray at a time of crisis. We’ve touched upon this before and you can read accounts on our website in 2 Chronicles 20, where Judah won an impossible battle without lifting a sword and ‘The Miracle of Dunkirk’, where three hundred thousand soldiers were ‘miraculously’ rescued from almost certain death on the beaches of France.

We have since discovered more evidence too, during both World Wars, of the ‘hand of God’, even of angels visibly intervening, in dramatic ways which appear to have changed the outcomes of major battles and even the course of the Wars themselves? Maybe you have heard the account of the Angels of Mons? during WWI? All of these ‘miracles’ occured during times where repeated calls for national prayer in the United Kingdom were taking place.

We have put some information of these incredible events on our website. They are not quick reads, but it will be well worth putting some time aside to take a look. They will lift your faith!:

Could you believe for a tangible supernatural move of God across the whole UK in 2018? Could history not only repeat, but happen in a way far beyond our wildest imaginations? Are you ready to see our entire nation pray and turn to God?

A ‘crown’ for your thoughts!!

Bless you all

A description of ‘As One’?

We believe that the Bible passage in John 17, where Jesus speaks about being ‘As One’ is something God has very much drawn to our attention as being crucial to the direction of CTNTP. This article, by Ron McGatlin, www.openheaven.com, has recently come to our attention and speaks very well on this subject.

The Loving Peace of Kingdom Joy in This World

Kingdom Peace

The blessings of God are upon His people who live by the Spirit and walk in the Spirit. It is true that the world may be filled with bad news repeated thousands of times over TV. Yet there is a place of perfect peace in the resting place of the arms of God.

Being in the Spirit, in love with God our Father and our Lord Christ Jesus is our resting place in this world. The Holy Spirit is the personification of Father God and Christ Jesus abiding in and with all who come to God with their whole hearts. This is the kingdom of God life now on earth that Jesus came to bring to His people.

A Mystery of God

A mysterious and marvelous thing happens as we come together with others in whom God by His Spirit also abides. Our love relationship with God is quickened to levels of excited joy in the “Spirit to Spirit” agreement and oneness of fellowship. The knitting together of God in us with God in others forms a heavenly bond of peace and sense of trust and security.

“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20.

The marvellous part of this is that we not only rest in the joy of the Lord in His presence, but that we also become extremely powerful in bringing change to the world around us. The presence and power of Christ in us is joined by Christ from heaven among us in a glorious experience of oneness that changes us and the world around us.

Great power of love is released that directly connects us with the throne of Heaven and nothing is impossible to us. This is the reality of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. The will of God fills our hearts and lives, and we ask only that which pleases God and fits perfectly with His plan and purpose for us and the world around us.

The enemy of God on earth knows that he is totally powerless to even begin to pervert the will and works of God on earth. Only when he through devious deception causes disagreement among those in whom Christ abides can he hinder the ultimate power of God from ruling and reigning on this earth.

The joy of the Lord is our strength. (Neh 8:10). The joy found in the oneness of truly SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only way to unity of agreement “Spirit to Spirit.”

All things come together in the kingdom of God on earth. All things that are of God on earth fit together under the one big plan of God, the kingdom of heaven on earth under King Christ Jesus, Lord of lords and King of kings. (Eph 1:17-23).

Seeing our part as it fits together with others under the one kingdom and one King removes all competition and brings together all the parts. Continuing to focus on our one part as the whole or main thing divides and separates the people and the kingdom of Christ and empowers the enemy. (Eph 4:11-16).

It is not fruitful to preach unity until after preaching and demonstrating the kingdom. Unity cannot happen until the gospel of the kingdom of God and its King is proclaimed and demonstrated to all involved. (Mat 24:14). The big picture of the government of heaven, the kingdom of God on earth is to be the primary focus of all believers and all works of ministry. All divisions or denominations must release their false beliefs that their part is the main issue and SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

The kingdom is the one folder in which all other folders of truth can fit together as one. Christ Jesus is the Head, the King and the corner-stone of all truth. The kingdom of God is within you if, indeed, you abide in Christ Jesus and He abides in you by the Holy Spirit. Every purpose of your life is to be under the one primary purpose and plan of God, the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

‘The great mystery is that unity and glory in this world is Christ in you. “…. I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, ²⁶the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. ²⁷To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’ Col 1:25-29.

‘“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” ‘ Luke 12:32.

A Sound in our Nation

Watts, George Frederic, 1817-1904; The Wandering Minstrel Whilst travelling in the UK recently with Peter Hill, seeing what God has for Call the Nation to Prayer, a man we stayed with overnight conveyed to me over breakfast something that he felt God had told him. He said that I was a ‘wandering minstrel’ for God’s Kingdom, that In essence, I carry and convey a ‘sound’, so as I connect with different people, ‘choirs’ form as they join and blend in, with their own ‘sound’!

This was particularly interesting, because over the previous couple of days whilst in Coventry, there was another mention of sound. We had being drawn to visit the City because of it’s geographical centrality in the Nation. There had been musing of the significance of the letter ‘C’ – Coventry, Centre and musically, middle C.

Piano Amsterdam

Someone had mentioned that on one occasion they were in Amsterdam Central Railway Station and that they had sounded middle C loudly on the piano there, listening to its resonance echoing out into the vast space of the building.

I believe God is creating a new sound, a ‘resonance’ across the UK. It could be singing or the playing of musical instruments, but it’s not traditional or even contemporary church music, or what you would hear at a ‘praise and worship event’ or on the latest You Tube clip from that well known band. Mostly it probably isn’t a sound based on musical notes at all.

The sound is actually the sound of Bible believing Christians – true followers of Jesus Christ. It is of those who had had enough of what our society has become, had enough of sin, those who care enough to lay it all down, repent, then rise up, ‘As One’, taking their place to do something about it.

It’s of those who will step outside the box, break religious tradition and cross and even demolish denominational boundaries. Those who desire again an Acts 2 Church. Those who are unselfish, give all they have to all in need, that heal the sick, raise the dead, weep with those who mourn. Those who restore hope and sanity where there seems none.

It’s those who reject division, hate and dis-unity of any kind, with an unconditional love that says, you are accepted, you are forgiven, because Jesus died not just for me… but you.

It is a sound of Heaven, heaven touching earth, of The Kingdom of God about to invade. An earthly army about to rub shoulders with the armies of heaven to take this planet back for Him. To take it back to His first design.

The sound is one of prayer. 24-7 prayer. This prayer comes out of a radical encounter with Jesus. It’s an abandoned, naked walk in the cool of the day with our loving Heavenly Father in the Garden, a restoration of relationship lost. The sound is one of arms thrown around necks and tear drops hitting the ground as forgiveness flows and relationships are restored – made totally new.

It’s the sound of the Wind of the Holy Spirit as we allow Him to blow us, take us wherever He will and whatever the cost.

It’s a sound that is surely gathering over the villages, towns and other cities of our Nation.

It’s a sound of a trumpet, ‘the last trump’, the sound that says He is coming again. Jesus is on the way.

It’s time to make your sound heard and get ready to greet Him.

Blessings

Call, Walk, As One

A letter from Peter Hill, on the eve of his third visit to the UK, scheduled for November 2nd to 20th 2017

We believe that God is directing our thoughts towards Prayer Walking and to an initiative in that respect in 2018. There are people to see and much to pray over and consider, but let’s pray and take steps of faith and see where God leads.

GREETINGS FROM CANADA!

We trust this letter finds you well and knowing the Lord’s Blessing in your life!

As a third visit to U.K. draws near, we are conscious of the fact that unless the Lord directs and orchestrates calling the nation to prayer, we will have found our efforts to have achieved little and been in vain!

David Gilbey has organized a Day Conference on November 4th. in Chelmsford, Essex and invited Suzanne Ferrett of ‘Passion For The Nation’ (passionforthenation.uk), to speak on that day along with Chelmsford 24-7 Prayer (chelmsford24-7.org). The day is also in association with Call The Nation To Prayer.

As mentioned in previous emails, CTNTP is not an organization but rather a sharing and a declaring what we believe the Lord by His Spirit has made clear. At the same time, what this looks like and how this unfolds is still in the building stages. We have peace in seeing CTNTP to include: ‘Walk The Nation In Prayer’ and ‘Come Together As One!’ A Three Fold Cord!

So it looks like:

CALL
WALK
AS ONE

John 17, where Jesus prayed that we may be one so that the world would believe (How powerful is that?!), has been central for a long time now in our thinking and in our prayers (as well as in the minds and hearts of so many throughout the nation) and we believe the time is now to take the next step!

What has been amazing as well has been the growth of prayer movements across the U.K. where many have heard the Lord to come together to seek His Face and to call on His Name.

What’s next?

How is the Lord impressing upon His People to come together in Unity?

What of the thousand questions unanswered?

Where goes the Nation?

Where goes the Church?

Peter and David will be meeting with a number of key leaders in early November and open to meeting with Pastors and Leaders and those who carry a heart for the nation – we ask for prayer that God’s Wisdom will be made known in the coming days.

Peace

Peter Hill

Peter Hill is joining us in November

peter-hill-cropped

We are delighted to announce that Peter Hill will be travelling to the UK in the Autumn and joining us for our Regional Gathering, As Our Nation is Shaken, a Kingdom Opportunity, on Saturday 4th November in Chelmsford. Peter will have opportunity to speak at the meeting.

In 1971, during the UK Charismatic Revival, Peter founded the National Festival of Light, which saw around 300 fiery beacons lit around the Nation and tens of thousands of Christians marching for moral righteousness in London. Out of this the Christian organisation CARE formed.

Peter later moved to Canada, but unexpectedly, in June 2015, God awoke him in his bed and told him to Call the Nation of England to Prayer. Peter is the inspiration to what is now taking place.

National Prayer Call – 8th September 2017

National Day of Prayer flyer 8 Sept 2017

Register with all names to – dovetailshalom@btinternet.com

Dovetail Shalom Ministries, along with David Hathaway and Dennis Greenidge, are calling for a National Day of Prayer for Great Britain; for Theresa May, Brexit, the unity of the UK, and for the nation to turn back to God and His Holy Word.

They have taken the Emmanuel Centre in Marsham Street London for Friday September 8th. The meeting will start at 10.30am and finish by 8.00pm. It will be a day of prayer and fasting.

God is speaking clearly – He says NOW! Time is running out and prayer is essential at this critical time. Following all the recent disasters our nation is in distress, being torn apart as never before. So we need to come together as His body to pray, to humble ourselves, repent and plead for God to have mercy to heal our land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

It is interesting to note that September 8th 1940 was the National Prayer Day that led to victory in the Battle of Britain. It is exactly 77 years ago in the year 5777.

As our Nation is Shaken – A Kingdom Opportunity

In line with our vision for Regional Hubs, we are pleased to be associated with a City-wide and Regional gathering, that will be taking place in Chelmsford, Essex, on Saturday 4th November 2017.

Everyone who has a heart for Prayer and to see the Kingdom of God come to our Nation is warmly invited to come along.

Do spread the word!

Jesus, Hope for our Nation

It is Time to Pray for our Nation

Grenfell Tower rainbow There is little doubt that with the recent terrorist attacks, the Grenfell Tower fire, the General Election result, Brexit, all mixed with fear, uncertainty and every other possible emotion that goes alongside, people everywhere are starting to cry out for direction, stability, help and hope for the future.

Jesus Christ, through the Commission and Compassion He has given His Church – Christian Believers everywhere – is the Hope and only lasting and true answer to the cry.

Prayer is the key that will see a release of The Holy Spirit in our Nation to make that answer a reality in the hearts and lives of individuals in every community up and down our Nation.

It is time - WPC The World Prayer Centre, Birmingham has published more about this Call to Prayer, together with some specific Prayer Points – read it here – and pray!
