With Dr. Jonathan David
The prophecies ... given at ITIP in June 2011 concerning London as well as Europe had created a spirit of expectancy in those who came and participated in the Revival Now! Prophetic Gatherings in London. The Atmosphere was charged from the first night on Thursday 23rd June till it filled the house with a challenge to become an apostolic base for Europe. What an impacting time it was for those who came.
Revelation TV
My 27-minute interview ... was scheduled for 10 am on the morning of my arrival on the 23rd June (Thursday). The Interview was scheduled on the T.V. network that we helped to launch many years ago through a prophetic word to Howard Conder who was leaving U.K. for good to settle in the U.S. All his belongings were already in boxes when the prophetic word redesigned and reformed his life. The specific word that he would lead a T.V. Network came into fulfillment almost immediately. The God Channel T.V. station was also birthed in this same meeting at "Cornerstone" in London that evening.
God had used Revelation T.V. to spearhead the advertisement of the prophetic word we were bringing to London.
The Summit
The first night was important to build the infrastructure to move. God's prophetic word was coming forth in power and lives of people were deeply impacted. God caused a strong saturation of His presences to be felt on the first night increasing our level of expectation for greater things. The people felt liberated and were encouraged to hear His revealed word. We have had to move the people from dead and old moves to the current flow of what God is revealing today.
The Holy Spirit took over in our meetings right from our worship team. The worship team came with Ps. Tony Higginson from Manchester to help lead in the worship during the Summit. They were useful and were a blessing to what God was doing in London.
The grace of God and the authority of apostleship to bring the Gentiles to obedience were obviously present. God was deputizing us to bring this message of Kingdom Transformation into the London region.
The second day was also a day of building in the Spirit, but by this time the crowd has swelled to well over 500 that night. The people were hungry and were pushing in.
The Strategic Link with Pastors
Many pastors were ministered to that night and the Holy Spirit impartation was supernaturally felt. God was increasing our influence into the territory by increasing our impact in the lives of those who came. Many had contacted those who they care for and also brought them along for the meetings. The pastors and their wives were already committing to the Kingdom Mandate to reach the U.K. and many were keen to partner with us in this endeavor. More than 30 pastors of the I.S.A.A.C. Network were present throughout these Revival Now! Meetings.
The last day, 25th June(Saturday), was clear and free from any restrictions. The people were drinking out of our hands as the U.K. had become a dry and thirsty land. God was putting a new hunger and thirst in the pastors to believe God for a better future for His Church and His People in the days ahead.
It was to told to me that every major ministry was pulling back from a National Vision to a Localized Vision. Some were attacked in their marriages, in their finances, in their health and even in their doctrine. Most of the bigger ministries were concentrating outside of the U.K. as there was a disheartening amongst the people concerning the spiritual conditions in the U.K. Nevertheless, God was doing a fresh new work in the U.K. and those who came to the Revival Now! Summit are using the materials (our CDs, DVDs and Books) to reach out to the others who could also become our partners in destiny.
Many of the pastors have shown a keen desire to join I.S.A.A.C. and become a part of the things we would like to do in the U.K. This was very encouraging as we will have many more churches on the ground who are responding as our apostolic bases in the London region.
Financial Breakthroughs
The Holy Spirit had also released the financial constraints on us by releasing a good financial release to be felt in our time in London. The expenses for the summit were all met and those who came expressed a largeness of heart. The Lord was our provider
The Future is Greater
We now have 14 local congregations in the U.K. and hope to grow to 25 by 2012. We want to establish the "Church Unusual, Catalyst for Glocal Transformation" concept for strong apostolic bases to arise in the U.K. We are trusting God to give us at least one Strong glocal apostolic base in every major city in the U.K. by 2020. This is doable and very possible. We are seeing this momentum increase year after year and we are trusting for a greater impact in the U.K.
The Revival Now! thrust in London is already bearing fruits. Many of the churches represented at the summit are sending their youth to the European Youth Congress... in Switzerland on the 1st to 7th August in (insert location), Switzerland. The registration are already at a maximum capacity of about 500 and Youths are coming from 16 nations.
Many of the people who came for the Revival Now! Summit in London are urging their pastors, friends and relatives to become connected to I.S.A.A.C. and its mission.
Brazil
One of the key leaders of the churches in Sao Paulo, Brazil who was visiting the churches in the U.K. decided to meet up with me at our Summit in London. He represents many churches in Brazil and opened the door for us to go to Brazil. He is planning to come to Malaysia and see what God is doing and then I will plan to "samba" across to Brazil. The door for South America may swing wide open soon.
Our Sons Do Us Proud
Our sons in I.S.A.A.C. Europe, like Ps. Philip Dupont, Ps. Kwame Mensah, were a source of strength to our other sons in the U.K. Their presence and support at the Summit was precious to those in London. Ps. David Trees, Ps. Tony Higginson, Ps Anthony Reid, Ps. Michael daCosta, and Ps. Peter Morrison all came from outside of London to lend strength and support to the Londoners.
Ps. Olubumie Macfoy and Ps. Arnold Parker who came from Sierra Leone encouraged other they know in London to also participate in the meetings.
God was glorified; The Band of Brothers were edified; The territory for God's Kingdom was advanced.
We believe the next Revival Now! in London will break the 1000 person barrier and give us a wider influence over the Church in the U.K. The Church Unusual is the Church of the Future and it is also the Future of the Church.
