So for a while now I have been sensing that God was calling me to the North of Scotland, first of all just to pray but also to preach as doors would open. It all started with a dream that my friend had years ago. Maybe a year after that I had a powerful dream where a prophet told me I had to go North and I had to go alone. Then shortly after that a friend in England heard an audible voice saying – tell Stephen that he must go North and specifically the Hebrides.
So last year I went to the Hebrides six times. God really began speaking to me there and I feel a lot of what I’m carrying now came from those travels North to the land of revival.
So on 1st March, myself and Emma (my fiancée) were invited, by our great friends John Parsons and Terry Jahner, to speak at a small house group in Banff Aberdeenshire. I felt this was so significant even though it was a small group. I didn’t feel to teach at this meeting but just felt to speak as I was led by the Spirit. I felt the Lord simply wanted to proclaim what His desire was for Scotland (and beyond) and to stir up faith again to believe that this is the season to see the fulfilment of many prophecies and visions given through the years, including the Jean Darnell vision of revival for Scotland and the UK (Which you can read below) which she said would begin in the North of Scotland. I am convinced this is the season and if we surrender to the Lord then we will see the greatest move of God this nation, or any nation, has ever seen.
My new podcast, which you can find below, was recorded at the house group. Hope you enjoy it and it stirs you to faith and encourages you to yield fully to the Holy Spirit.
Jean Darnell vision of revival for Scotland and the UK
The British Isles were covered in mist (a green haze), and Jean Darnell saw lots of pinpoints of light piercing through. As she looked, they turned out to be fires breaking out all over the nation, from Scotland in the North, to Lands End in the South.
As these God-lit fires were joined together they burned brighter. As she continued to pray, she saw lightning and explosions of fire and then rivers of fire flowing from North to South; from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales into England and some of the streams of fires crossed the channel into Europe, whilst others stopped.
These fires were pockets of people who had been made intensely hungry for the word of God and for New Testament Christianity, those who read the book of Acts and wondered ‘where is this church?’
These people would come together to pray and extra meetings would have to be laid on to accommodate all the people. Groups would be formed, prayer groups, Bible study groups – some would meet in churches, others would be in homes: some converted, others unconverted who were searching and seeking.
Two Moves Of God
Jean Darnall asked the Lord about the vision and had the distinct impression that there would be two moves of God.
Renewal In The Church. The first would be the renewal of Christian faith and fullness of the Holy Spirit within the church.
National Awakening And World Vision. This renewal of life in the church would spread outside resulting in a public awakening. The second part of the vision was the lightning striking around the nation. This move of God would be a national spiritual awakening, which would move into every level of the nation’s life; on the campuses, universities, colleges, schools etc., into the media and in the government. There would be so many conversions that it would actually change the character of the nation of Britain and determine the future move of God in Europe. Jean continued that there would not be a part of the nation’s life that will not feel the impact of the spiritual awakening when God releases it to the country.
The Lord told Jean Darnall that He would also raise up highly anointed preachers who would move in signs and wonders. These people would be a gift to Britain.
