Word for East End of Glasgow

Given by Emma Stark on 26 February 2009 in Bridgeton Life Church, Glasgow:

It’s a new season. It’s a NOW season. NOW is the time to claim the land, in order to start the process of  Revelation 11 verse 15:

“then the 7th angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven:
“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever”

NOW is the time to begin this move, NOW is the season for you to take the ground for the Kingdom of God.

NOW is the time for sons to return to their fathers and fathers to their sons – just as we read in Malachi 4 verse 6:

“His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers.”

God is in the business of reconciliation. And it is a NOW season for reconciliation!

I felt God say he has a specific strategy and plan for dealing with two things the East End of Glasgow specifically struggles with:

1. Drug addiction
2. Gang Warfare

The East End has these two problems because it lacks the peace of God; the absence of the peace of God is a root problem.

Form this place without the peace of God, fear and and depression have been allowed to rise. These have become the dominant emotions in the East End. Fear has propelled people to gangs. Depression and has propelled people to drugs.

God said that this peace has been stolen and NOW it’s up to the people of God to contend with the enemy in this NOW season to get it back.

God asks the East End, “Will you contend for My peace to return?”

Rise up people, and take it back God’s peace – for it has been stolen. This is a warfaring time for the church in this place, but God has given you the land.

God is moving ahead of you, East End.

In 2 Samuel chapter 5, David defeated the Philistines twice. And many of you feel like you have already battled for the East End and – just like the Philistines – the problems have risen again. But this is a NOW season. And God says He is on the move. He asks if you can hear him in the tops of the Balsam trees (2 Samuel 5 verse 24)?

When you hear a sound like marching feet in the tops of the poplar [Balsam] trees, be on the alert! That will be the signal that the Lord is moving ahead of you to strike down the Philistine army.”

I saw a picture of Celtic Park, which denoted the East End of Glasgow. God threw from Heaven a massive sword as high as the stadium. He said, I have marked out the East End, in this season, as a place to do battle in the heavenlies and where, with the weapons I have placed in your midst, you can take the land. Arise army! Again! Yes, again, says God –  arise! Take the ground, use your weapon. The weapons of warfare are mighty in your hand.  2 Corinthians 10 v 4:

We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

You are not to fear man any more, but only fear God. The enemy has tried to hide this church, he has tried to put a cloak around it and we tear it down now in the name of Jesus. God says well done to you because you are a contending church. God has promised to make this church a church that blesses the community financially, rather than being a church in poverty.

UK Prophetic Council’s Collective Word for 2009

Issued by the UK Prophetic Council following their meeting in November 2008.

In this season of change, the England Prophetic Roundtable has gone through a wonderful regrouping time.

The gathering has now expanded to include prophetic voices from the rest of the UK. The founding members of the Prophetic Roundtable were Martin Scott, Sue Mitchell, Rachel Hickson, Sharon Stone and others. We forged relationships of trust and honour for the diversity of each other’s gifting and authority. But in 2008, it was time for the UK to benefit on a larger scale from a wider range of God’s prophets.

September will convince you

Dr. Sharon Stone gave the following word in the Glasgow area in July 2008. (The first paragraph is an introduction to the word, from Sharon Stone, written in September 2008).

September will convince you that you must connect to His economic system

The dramatic events that have unfolded this week in the US and within the past 24 hours here in the UK resonate with the truth God spoke through this word.  I want to share this with you in light of these events as an encouragement that the Lord is faithful to His Word and He has made both provision and a way.

Blessings in Christ, Dr. Sharon Stone 

“September is a turning point and a sign of the times. It is all about those who have made Godly alignments in this season being blessed with revelation and information in the midst of world crisis.

“I see more banks will suffer: a USA world bank’s shares are in trouble – I see government in the USA bailing out mortgage giants and the government in England cutting house purchase taxes for the sagging housing crisis, to no avail. I see a European airline failing with no notice. I see the eyes of the world looking to see, ‘who is this coming out of Alaska?’ And I see smoke coming from the Chunnel.

“As I see these things I hear the encouragement of God to His Isaacs in the earth who sow in the times of famine and reap 100 fold in the year. I’m not a prosperity preacher, I’m a prophet. And God is saying that September will convince you that you must connect to His economic system. There are always the few that are greatly blessed when the majority are shaken, threatened and fearful.

“God says, ‘Have you positioned yourself for THE NEW? Your storehouse is not an earthly bank. Hold on and I will bail you out of your mortgage issues. Am I not better to you than any government? I will not leave you stranded on foreign soil, and I will carry you above the circumstances better than any plane or jet. And your hope is not an Alaskan saviour, but Me.’ I know that sounds strange, it does to me also.

“England, the smoke I saw coming out of the Chunnel is a warning for your intercessors to arise and cut off the enemy’s plan to sabotage and siege England’s favour in trade. Let him who has ears hear.

“God I release an Isaac anointing upon us now!”

 

For reference, here are the related news stories from September. This prophetic message caused great interest, particularly, it seems, because of the mention of Sarah Palin but it is important to note that this was in no way the main thrust of the message, which is primarily for the UK and about economic issues.

Welcome… we hope you enjoy your visit

Glasgow Prophetic Centre aims to bring the prophetic voices of the nation, for this nation, together as one. There are many with a prophetic gifting in Scotland – and many more who will have this gift activated in the coming days  - and Glasgow Prophetic Centre encourages these voices and gives them an opportunity to grow, speak, network and share.

GPC will also record prophetic words given for the nation, forming a permanent record of God’s words for Scotland.

Next meeting

Welcome to Glasgow Prophetic Centre. We’re so glad you dropped by!

As you can see, we’re still working on this website so please be patient whilst we update information and add lots of new content. If you see something you like, or don’t understand or even that you don’t like, please don’t be shy, add your comment – there is a “comment” button at the foot of most pages.

You should be able to find your way around the site fairly easily – we hope so! If you know roughly what you’re looking for, use the category MENUS at the top of the page. All our posts are roughly categorised (some might be in more than one category) and they are also “TAGGED“. This means that, if you’re reading a post about, say, “angels”, there will likely be an “angels” tag at the bottom of the post. If you click on this tag you will be given a page with ALL the posts that are tagged “angels”. Tagging will become especially useful when we have lots of prophetic words – you should be able to search the words by their tags – for example “Glasgow” or “Scotland” or “Angels” and so on.

If you aren’t sure what you’re looking for, or you just want to read our latest posts, there is always a little box to your right —> that displays a list of our most “RECENT POSTS“. And, further down the right hand side you can also see our “ARCHIVES“, where you can find our posts according to the month when they were added to the site.

Finally, we hope you’ll enjoy using our LINKS. We’ve added lots of links to other sites you may find interesting. These are not sorted in preference and we, of course, are not responsible for the content on them, we just add them when we find them and then leave it up to your own discernment.
