England's Call to a Reluctant Prophet: Prayer Note #101

   Dutch Sheets shares with us that “In May of 1994 this same group (Derek Brant, Lew Sunderland, and Michael Massa from England), invited me back to England, along with a worship team from the States, led by a close friend and associate, David Morris.

    ‘It is time to follow up our last meeting by marrying the Spirit and Word through anointed prophetic worship, followed by you, Dutch, speaking a prophetic message over the nation’ they told me.

    ‘We’re going to rent some of the old cathedrals around England and have the services in them. We feel this will release some things in the spirit and further pave the way for God to move.' 

   'I don’t have a prophetic message for England and besides, I’m too busy,’ was my response. I maintained this position for months, up until several weeks before the meetings were to take place.

   At the time three different intercessors told me within the span of one week that I had missed God’s leading and was supposed to go to England. 

   Being the astute man spiritually that I am, three independent words of correction were enough. After the last one, I immediately picked up the phone and instructed my secretary to call England informing them that I had missed God and would come if they had no one else. 


   ‘No, we don’t have anyone else’ they told her. ‘We knew he was supposed to do it. We've just been waiting for him to hear.’ 

It makes you feel terribly unspiritual when everyone in the world knows God’s will for your life, but you!


    [The Lord spoke to Dutch:] ‘You are not preaching to the people in attendance tonight. You are preaching to this nation. 

You are to declare My Word to it, calling it back to righteousness, to holiness, to repentance, to Me. Call forth My anointing, My fire and My presence to this land again.’  


   We received a call from England the week following our ministry. The message was, ’Revival has broken out in London.’  Renewal had, indeed, hit the nation, with many people coming to Christ and thousands receiving a renewing touch of the Holy Spirit.”

Today’s quote:  "As we celebrate the first coming of the Prince of Peace and wait for his second coming, we are reminded of our privilege to serve as His 'carriers of compassion.' -Dennis Fisher

Lord, You have come and brought peace, and I long to

share Your compassion everywhere I go.

Thank You that this world will know ultimate peace

when You return. Amen

True peace comes from the Prince of Peace."
