Word and Vision For England
by Musa Opiyo

July 20, 2004

Note:

I received this word in February 29, 2004 but after the witness of the Spirit through a close prophetic friend, I felt led to post this today.

Vision and Word

An enlarged aerial view of England was before me. I was standing in mid air and I began to see fireballs falling from the sky toward the land.

As they fell, the part of the fireball facing the ground suddenly changed into an arrowhead, almost resembling a flaming arrow.

As the fireball/arrow approaches the ground, their form begins to change into black crows that begin to descend over the buildings below into what is now a darkened land.

Then I heard the Lord herald from heaven, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and heal their land."

A shield then appeared over the nation and blocked the crows from descending. But as time progressed, the shield began to fade. I sensed that this was because people had stopped praying. As the shield disappeared, more of the crows descended over the land again but this time in greater magnitude.

Again I heard the Lord admonish his people to pray. As the people began to pray again I saw in the darkened sky another fire that was approaching. From far off this fire looked white and glimmering, but as the fire approached it turned into a violent red fire as it swept through the land, the black birds were scattered.

The clouds overhead began to disperse as it gave way to rain clouds and it only took a few moments before it started raining.

I then heard the Lord say, "I am coming down to this land as the former and the latter rain and the glory and the reformation it shall experience shall be greater than the former."

Interpretation

I believe the darkened skies and the crows represented the attack of the enemy on this land and the spiritual atmosphere it has created. I believe that as a nation we shall turn to God, if we ourselves pray and seek His face and turn from our own wicked ways.

I believe also with regards to prayer, we should be persistent in prayer even though we see a breakthrough or whether the opposite occurs.

I am reminded of the story of when Elisha the prophet was about to die and King Jehoash of Israel requested that their enemies be defeated.

Elisha asked the King to strike the ground with the arrows which would represent their enemy's defeat. The King was reprimanded by Elisha for striking only three times instead of 5 or more hits.

`You should have struck five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram utterly; as it is, you will strike Aram three times and no more." 2 Kings 13:19M

What we should do

Pray as the Spirit leads. I realise that this will predominantly apply mainly for those who live in this nation and those to whom the Lord impresses and puts a burden on to pray.
