OLD TO LONDON T he story begins in 1991 when I stepped into the senior leadership of this church. Many people were prophesying negative things about London and about Britain. It’s right to take prophetic words of judgement seriously. We also need to move beyond the negative, “God-will-blast-you” kind, of message and listen to God’s heart of love and restoration. This is still the day of grace. Having read many negative things in the prophetic magazines, I went to seek God for myself. He gave me a picture (to call it a vision might elevate it to a level higher than it really was, but it was a very clear picture). I saw an angel standing high above London and carrying a bowl, which was the size of the M25, high above London. Immediately, I thought, “That’s it. These doom and gloom prophets are right after all! God is going to zap us. I knew about the bowls of God’s wrath in the Book of Revelation and I thought London was done for. But, as I began to see more clearly, I understood that this angel was an angel of mercy and grace. As I watched closely, I saw that this angel was looking around, and as the angel was looking around the substance that was in this great bowl began to spill over the edge and drop in slow motion like thick liquid to the ground. And wherever it splashed to the ground to the ground people were set free, chains were broken. People began to sing and to dance and were set free by the power of God. And, I said, ‘Lord, what’s that?’ Then I heard these words: “That’s my grace, son. I have yet still more grace for the city of London.” ➜ Revival Times November 2018 7
