Revival in the North-East of England
Hallelujah. Dawn is breaking over the North-East of England as revivalists converge on the city of Newcastle in its darkest hour. A crescendo of angelic voices cry ‘Holy, holy, holy to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords’ as we await the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ the Son of God into His church to assume His rightful place as Master of the house and Ruler of His people.
In the natural what is happening is that Ken Gott, who is God’s apostolic leader for the North-East of England, arrived back yesterday from the revival meetings in Lakeland, Florida, where the Spirit of the Lord is being poured out in a wonderful way and there is a visitation of the Lord in signs and wonders and miracles and raising of the dead. Fervent prayer is needed for Todd Bentley who is a mighty man of God if rather immature in his sometimes embarrassing vanity with respect to his ministry and possibly vulnerable to deception by dark angels masquerading as angels of light. With depressing predictability the self-appointed watchdogs of the internet have launched into the attack like dogs on a wounded prey and will slow the move by hemming him in with accusations and vilification that only the holiest saint would be able to endure without flinching in the battle.
Meanwhile the leader of the Argentinian revival in the 1990s, Claudio Freidzon, assumes his mantle as fire carrier, arriving in Newcastle upon Tyne today to minister in the church which Ken Gott leads, and we may be sure that the Lord will use him in power to release the apostolic anointing that is needed to break through the religious spirit that dominates and controls the pentecostal and other Spirit-filled churches in the area. Oh that the Lord would raise up men of grace and power and much Christian love, men like John Wesley who preached on the Newcastle quayside and Smith Wigglesworth and others who breathed the Spirit of freedom and holiness in the birth of the English pentecostal movement in Sunderland. Pray for us that we will lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of us.
Reference your “Ken Gott, who is God’s apostolic leader for the North-East of England,….” er, says who?

Well, me, obviously, but who else is there to say it so long as we have a divided and scattered church? So we can only speak what we believe as a result of seeking the Lord in prayer for His view of our situation and His direction for our assembling ourselves together in love and unity under godly and spiritual leadership.

The first three words would have sufficed, but thanks.

Have you prayed about it? How do you know that this is just my opinion rather than something I may have received from the Lord?

I fell into that burning ring of fire, the flames of the Holy Spirit rose higher x 2, and it burns burns burns. Go for it UK. Had a dream weeks ago saw enthusiastic people in a grandstand wrapped in UK flags wild in revival. Smith blazed a trail for u to run in dig into the wells of revival. People go and see the mission he & Polly ran in Bradford. Re-dig your wells. There’s a HUGE revival on its way. The LORD ALMIGHTY is bigger than all. Andrea.Baillie.

Thanks for adding your faith to ours, Andrea. I pray for revival in Australia that God would breathe on the dry bones and raise up revivalists full of love for the Lord and zeal for evangelism, and praying saints who will watch and pray for your leaders, and pastors who will lay down their lives for their flocks. The Lord will do it. Amen.

“The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our’s meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild…”
I believe Johnny Cash may have been singing about more earthly passions!

Andrew, it has been several years since we have communicated. The Lord has brought you to my remembrance over these years and I have earnestly prayed for you. The prophetic words you shared with me in 2000 and 2002 continue to encourage me in the work of our Lord around the world. We have been privileged to travel in missions to many nations equipping servant leaders for His Kingdom work. It would be such a joy to hear from you again as you have the time and libery in the Lord to do so.
