Events

The next School of prophetic ministry will be on:
10th & 11th October 2008 @ Nettle Hill, Coventry

We are living in extraordinary days as we hear of revival breaking out in pockets all over the globe. There is an increase of miracles, signs and wonders not only in other nations but here in the U.K. God’s spirit is on the move as healings and salvations are taking place on a unprecedented scale. As the ‘Prophet’ people of God we need to hear His voice and His promptings like never before, and it is with this in mind that we would encourage you to come and be part of this conference where we will sit under the seasoned ministry of Christine Larkin.

Chris has ministered for many years in her speaking and prophetic ministry 'Sword of Fire'. She now travels extensively running prophetic conferences, training events and working with church leaders to develop prophetic strategy and helping to build teams to serve the local and wider church. We are privileged to have her come amongst us to help bring us into all that the Lord has for us in these awesome days.

School of Prophetic Ministry

Friday 4th – Sat 5th April - review by Helen Moses

The School of Prophets’ weekend began on Friday Evening with a powerful sense of God’s presence. Sandra Duffty spoke and ministered to us, preparing us to embrace a new move of the Holy Spirit which many believe is already happening in this country.

Sandra shared from Matthew ch 13: The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. She exhorted us to focus on the work of Christ in our lives and not to be overly concerned by mistakes, mixture and failure in ourselves and others. We were warned not to dismiss God’s Spirit at work when things were unfamiliar to us or to take offence if our preconceived ideas and doctrines seemed under question. Sandra encouraged us to have an attitude of grace and to be discerning at this time, looking to the source of things and not merely judging the manifestation. The power of God at work in us and through us far outweighs our human frailties. What an encouraging, empowering thought!

In response to a word of knowledge, prayer for healing and impartation of strength took place. It was an excellent start to the weekend.

On Saturday, we were privileged to hear John Mastrogiovanni sharing insights gained through meditative study of the Hebrew text. John explained that we have to let go of our limiting past revelations of God (often based more than we realise on Western cultural thought patterns) in order that He can show himself to us in a new way. Only then can we experience God afresh and live in the light of the new revelation. From his study of the Hebrew language and using a power point and film presentation, John effectively conveyed to us something of the limitless, indescribable nature of God.

We are of the same essence as our Creator and our true life and source is in union with Him. We display his glory as we live out our various roles on this earth. We have his eternal nature within us and although finite beings we live in Christ and therefore within the infinite God.

Limitless possibilities can open up through prayerful union with God who is himself not limited by time and space. If we by revelation, think his thoughts, we can speak them out creatively, in the "Eternal Now", planting seed which will spring up to form a God- ordained future. As a prophetic people we should concern ourselves with creating a new tomorrow, not controlling or worrying about today. We live our lives in relation to Him. It’s not all about us! It’s all about knowing Him and discovering our destiny in the light of his eternal purpose.

Building on John’s ministry to us, Saundra O’ Neil presented keys for unlocking the art of meditation. On the Friday evening, a dream had been shared about God restoring to us the ancient truths and pathways. From a place of experience, Saundra passed on to us how to draw aside to meditate, avoiding distractions and centring on Christ. She suggested thinking on a portion of scripture continually, imbibing its truth like the Eastern "mantra" but in a godly, Holy Spirit filled way! Saundra encouraged us to contemplate or mull over the word, breaking it down into sections and asking what it’s saying. She talked about worshipping and being in the Spirit by praying in tongues and shared about the vulnerability and sacrifice of time required to stand in the "ascended place" between Heaven and Earth. Her teaching was precious as well as instructive, bearing the hallmark of an intercessor and revealing a gift honed through brokenness.

We are not called to ourselves, but rather to change people and nations. It’s time to respond to the invitation to "Come up Here!" so that we might carry the genuine counsel of God to others.

Saundra released a spirit of Divine Boldness, breaking limits and restrictions and empowering us to rise to a new level.

Our final session was one of impartation and activation as the different generations represented, prayed for and prophesied to each other.

My overall summary of the weekend is that it delivered according to its title, bringing us to a greater awareness that "There are no limits to what our great God can do in us and through us"

The next School of Prophetic Ministry is on the 10th & 11th October 2008 at Nettle Hill.

School of Prophets Conference

Wellington, South Africa 3rd - 8th March 08, review by Peter Topliss

The Conference was hosted by Jan and Wendy Slabbert and entitled “Streams in the desert” taken from Isaiah.43:19 “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

The Conference could be described as two conferences in one. The day time School of Prophets was hosted in the Bible School, and the evening celebrations, hosted in the marquee. The morning and afternoon sessions catered for about 150 delegates who had a considerable hunger for instruction and impartation in the prophetic.

Topics covered were:

• Worship leading and the prophetic
• The foundational relationship of apostles and prophets
• Prophets and prophesying
• God’s heart for a prophet people
• Worship as a trigger to the prophetic
• Defining the prophetic

Gareth and Sandra Duffty, Saundra O’Neal, Rich Houghton, Richard Maybery, Jurie Kriel and myself carried the ministry. There was a wonderful prophetic flow between people in covenant relationship which proved to be a significant testimony to many whose previous experience had been to do with “lone” prophets.

There was a great hunger for the prophetic teaching and many expressed their gratitude for the ministry. The last afternoon of the School of Prophets saw virtually all the delegates receive prophetic impartation. Many received specific prophecies and words of knowledge concerning their future ministries. It was a very powerful and exciting time.

The evening celebrations in the marquee had the flavour of revival with almost 450 people gathering together each evening to worship God. Prophetic words were given concerning a wave of revival breaking over them and a river of life and blessing flowing, with growing strength, from there to the rest of Africa and the world. These words were confirmation of prophecies already received that had been recorded and prayed over prior to the beginning of the conference.

On the Wednesday evening there was a call to re-dig the “wells” of Andrew Murray, the great man of prayer and revival who had been based in Wellington. This was accompanied by the actual digging of three wells in the marquee. The first well was dug accompanied by a great sense of repentance and with many tears. The second was a well of quiet contemplation and the third was a well of joy, resulting in laughter, singing and dancing. It was amazing to see whole families joining together, young and old, digging with bare hands into the early hours of the following morning. The yearning for revival is great and the people are sensing that the move of God has begun.

On the final night the platform was shared by Gareth, Sandra, Saundra, Jan, Jurie and myself as we spoke of revival, open heaven and the glory of God. The people were encouraged and built up during this time and it was immediately followed by a number of specific prophecies for different individuals.

There is a great hunger for revival in the people and they are beginning to see a move of God. It was a privilege to share this experience together, and we look forward to what God does in the days to come. It will be exciting to see what God does with the prophetic instruction and impartation that was received by the delegates as they put it into practice in various parts of Southern Africa.
