BeLOnGings

A few weeks ago a sister reached out to us wondering if we could collaborate with her and her husband in the healing ministry God has entrusted to them.

We invited them over to The Big Green House for dinner and we had a lovely evening together.

In a follow up email she quoted her husband as saying, we were, “The real deal.”

I felt, ‘You couldn’t have paid us a higher compliment!”

In the world today there is a great debate about the pros and cons of Artificial Intelligence.

However we read that from heaven, as the KJV puts it, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” (2 Chron.16:9)

Authenticity not Artificiality is the quest of ‘the God of truth’ (Is. 65:16)

It is also God’s action that brings about this ‘perfect’ heart he is searching for ……a son who is ‘The Real Deal’

That is the theme of the latest song I have been given.

P.S. The Real Deal is also the slogan of our son Luke’s award winning restaurant in Minneapolis, The Anchor. Luke learned the ropes at the Seafry in Belfast and ex pats agree this is the most ‘authentic’ British/Irish fish and chips you’ll get, maybe in the whole of the US. 😀

The Anchor food truck is pictured above.

Here is the website. Check it out for yourself to see if it is The Real Deal.

A few days ago this video was brought to my attention.

Gideon Mulinde was the son of John Mulinde who has been used powerfully by God to bring about kingdom transformation in Uganda and subsequently in various cities and States in the US.

Shortly after recording this video, sadly, Gideon died.

At minute 25, he ends this, his final worship time, with the song given through me many years ago, (Lord) Jesus We Enthrone You.

At one point during it he improvises,

‘This is not the end of my story”

……..as if he knew his days on earth were soon to end.

Another short video I saw this week also made reference to ‘Gideon’s army.’

Juan O Savin is someone who over the years has proven to me to be a reliable voice when it comes to understanding the true narrative at play in America and the world today.

In his tribute to the ‘Gideon’s Army’ gathered at the ‘Fraud Fighters’ summit, he references Professor David Clements, whose work I have also previously posted.

Here is David’s latest excellent offering.

And if you’d like to dive deeper into where we are currently in the ‘battle’ to save America, this presentation at the conference, should educate and encourage you too.

I thought I should give you an update on The Big Green House documentary film.

It was God’s hand at work when we ‘bumped into’ a professional film maker friend of our son Ben in 2018, early on in the ‘battle’ with the Robbinsdale City (principalities and powers).

Tony, Joe and Ryan began recording the saga, donating their time and recruiting other professional friends from all over the USA to complete their ‘passion project’ …..seven years later!

At one point, all the recordings were ‘lost’ for 6 months…… and then miraculously ‘found’!

I was lead to submit the documentary to 50 festivals.

To date The Big Green House has been awarded 14 laurels, including an ‘Outstanding Excellence’ award in the Religion Faith International Festival and ‘Best Short Documentary’ at the Cork Indie Festival.

On our recent trip to Ireland we were invited to show the documentary at a few local and ‘international’ churches we partner with there who have a heart of hospitality and a desire to see the broken healed and captives set free.

It was a wonderful time of diving deeply with them into the heart of the Father and into how he wants to showcase his love through the kingdom, expressed in our being ‘family’ as he designed.

At Centre61 I pointed out that as Is. 61: 4 says, we were…..’a planting of the Lord as a living display of his glory

Our address, 2721 Parkview Boulevard, reflected this…..

2721, our house in Strong’s numbers is the Greek word used only once in scripture on the occasion of ‘an insurrection was raised against Paul.’

Acts 27:21, is, as recorded in the documentary court scene,

….and Paul stood up and said, ‘Fear not……’”

Then there is the name of our street, Parkview’ Boulevard.

‘Stand still (Park) and see (view) the salvation of the Lord.’ (Ex.14:13)

Just as Paul spoke those words in the context of a storm, the subsequent shipwreck, and amazing salvation of all 276 on board the last few blogs have referenced ‘THE STORM’ the world currently faces.

The inspired editing of the opening clip in the documentary has my ‘off the record’ comment,

God is shaking things that need to be shaken’.

This was in 2018 – even before ‘Covid’ !

The Lord’s victory in our ‘micro’ situation builds our hope for his victory in the current ‘macro’ situation.

Indeed…. ‘All will be well.’

Here is the link to Ben’s recording of that song.

If you haven’t done so already please download and share the album Singing My Father’s Song.

Below is the link to the movie (and trailer)

Please also pass it along……..that his glory, splendor, and beauty would be displayed even more widely, in these days.🙂

Thank you.

I thought of entitling this blog The Storm of The Lord. Part 3. But opted for a more sensational title (and photo🙂) to get your attention, because again, the confirmations I got from Father for this blog were so loud and clear!

Yesterday I was listening to the latest Johnny Enlow Prophetic Perspective, entitled ‘God’s Profit Plan’ when a text came in from Kim, our daughter in law, that the lamb chops at Costco were $6 off and today was the last day of the offer!!!

So I jumped into the car so as not to miss the deal!

I was at the half way mark of Johnny’s talk when I hit the pause button.

He had been speaking from Is. 48 and had also talked about President Trump’s 80th birthday coming next week. 8 is the number for ‘a new beginning’

When I got to the chops there were 8 packs left.

I bought all 8 – enough meat for 20 weeks ‘date nights’ 😃

Then driving home, the significance of the numbers occurred to me.

8 packs, each at a saving of $6 i.e. 8 x 6 = 48…..Wow!

Later that night we listened to the second half of the prophetic perspective. It was Johnny’s 67th birthday and he then focused on Psalm 67

You might remember the blog I did on March 14th about Ps. 67.

I would encourage you to reread my blog.

These two confirmations highlighted to me Father’s affirming and prioritizing Johnny’s challenging and encouraging message

You can watch and listen to it here…..

This may be the most watched clip of all by President Trump.

I pondered whether I should publish the last post or not, waiting for a confirming sign.

The next day we took in the rugged beauty of Fanad Head in the Gaeltacht. (Predominately Irish speaking area)

We stopped short of doing the Fanad lighthouse tour, settling instead for a cup of coffee at the cafe.

I sat on while Hilary went for a wander around the shop.

I noticed the felted picture on the wall opposite me of a ship in a storm and took a snap.

Theresa at the counter, was the matriarch of the whole operation.

A jolly joker she was gobsmacked by the way in which Hilary had been able to reinvent a ‘regular’ Aran sweater by dyeing it an attractive sea green!

“Oh! It fits you perfectly!’ ‘……’Go on spoil yourself!’ commented a couple of Dutch tourists as I tried on one of the shop’s Arans for myself.

Persuaded to purchase I chatted with Theresa asking for details of the advertised ‘Fanad Music and Culture Festival..’

It seemed the program was Theresa’s personal possession as she pulled it up on her phone and went over the events with me one by one.

‘So are you an Irish speaker yourself?” She asked.

‘Oh no’ I smiled.

Then later it occurred to me I did have an ‘O Ireland’ CD in the car.

‘Theresa’ I said. ‘I have to confess I wasn’t entirely honest with you. Tell me do you have a CD player ?’

‘Aye. I have two at home’

‘Well I would like to give you a gift. This is an album of my songs. And this second one is recorded first in English…… and then in Irish.”

Well she was as gobsmacked by this as with Hilary’s Aran.

‘For me? Really? ……and you wrote these songs? And this one’s in Irish? Oh I can’t wait to get home and listen to it. Thank you so so much.” She effused.

Returning home we went over our photos. I noticed in Hilary’s this one….

Somehow unbeknownst to me, she had also been prompted to take a photo of the very same felted picture of a ship in a storm at sea.

But beyond this ‘God-incidence’ it was the reflections on the glass that really got my attention.……

It seemed, taking the two photos in sequence, as if the ship was passing through a window, and that beyond the storm there was a bright grassy field.

This was the double witness I was looking for confirming the message I was being given in the last blog post.

A subsequent Juan O Savin interview entitled The Storm is Upon Us appeared with this picture……

Here is the link if you’d like to listen….

I have been reading Johnny Enlow’s commentary on The Book of Enoch.

It is clear that we are living in the time described in Chapter 1 verse 1

‘These are the words of the blessing of Enoch, with which he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed from the earth.”

‘So hold on to your seats (in Christ in heavenly places) and adopt (not the brace but) the grace position.’

Beyond the storm there will open up a beautifully bright future field🙂

Oh, and the artist?

Rodgers means ‘famous spear’

I was lead to this passage in Obadiah declaring both Christ’s (Christina) deliverance and judgement

‘But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame (or ‘head of a spear’), and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it……And deliverers shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
‭‭

Last Saturday I was lead to purchase a pie in the Avoca bakery in downtown Belfast. Avoca means, ‘little treasure.’

It was the box containing the pie with the rhyme, “Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie’ written on it that caught my attention.

I had just come from the Blackbird Cafe run by my friend Moses who a few years ago had been lead by God to move from Nigeria to Belfast.

Then he had been lead in Belfast to settle in a house in Gilnahirk….

And that house was just opposite the house where 50 years ago we teenagers had met weekly to pray that God would come and visit our land!!

The Blackbird cafe had been another leap of faith for Moses.

Located in one of the most infamous corners during the troubles it’s previous operators had given up.

Moses had asked for a chance to prove he could make it work, and by the grace of God – it was working…..winning the trust of locals and attracting the tourists who after their stop to be taught Irish history through the writing on the neighboring wall, would drop in to the Blackbird cafe for a cappuccino .

It was Moses who facilitated our gathering the next day as our little group responded to the White House declaring it should be a national day of jubilee for the USA.

The 50% price reduction (Jubilee number) on the box had influenced me to ‘clinch the deal’🙂

I produced the pie at the start of the gathering last Sunday pointing out that the number 24 represented -priesthood and that was why we were gathering as members of the ‘royal priesthood’ to intercede on behalf of our two nations – America…… and Ireland.

Later reading about the origins of the nursery rhyme I discovered it was a reference to King Henry shutting down the monasteries…..a source albeit imperfect, of prayer and worship.

The rhyme continues

The present prophetic interpretation dawned on me. From Psalm 2…

The ‘kings of the earth’ who have sought to shut down God’s royal priesthood are now being thwarted, for the time has come for God to make it clear that, “I have set my King (Jesus) on my holy hill’

….and set those who are his priestly representatives on earth at this time free singing their song of glorious triumph!.

We were beautifully lead by the Spirit as we shared and sang ‘the song of the Lord’ together. Eight (new beginnings) year old Zoe (life) closed out our evening as she taught us an ‘action’ chorus about Jesus shining though us to change the world.

The next morningj I rose early and went to Helen’s Bay for a swim. I have never seen the bay so calm. A few hours later we were walking at Seapark when a series of enormous waves such as I have never seen there before hit the shore.

Taken by surprise the hugest of these had passed before we thought to take a video. Here is what we recorded when the waves had subsided. You can hear Hilary exclaim, “What is going on?”

I returned home to discover this had been posted over the weekend by President Trump……..

(As a ‘God reporter’ rather than ‘Trump supporter’ I view this imperfect man as a wrecking ball appointed by God to expose and dismantle centuries of institutionalized evil)

It clearly signals a change of season ‘from calm to storm’ such as I experienced in the Belfast Lough this morning.

After the big waves rolled in, I looked at my watch. The time was 12:12.

12+12 = 24

Last Saturday we were 12 adults (+Zoe) After the meeting we gave Moses, Ezekiella and Zoe a ride to their new home. They have just moved there to begin the next season of their life and calling here. We discovered their new house number is 12

12+12= 24.

I believe in these ‘signs following’ Father was encouraging us, that as we gathered in response to his 2 Chron.7:14 invitation to humble ourselves and pray and seek his face and proclaim……Jesus King, of our lives and of both America and Ireland,

…..we were privileged to be participating in the major shift that is happening in the establishing of the kingdom of God on the earth in these days.

Anyhow, this is merely, for what it’s worth, my prophetic perspective.

The end of the story is for sure.

‘…….the TWENTY FOUR elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On the next blog I will describe the most spectacular ‘sign following’ I have ever experienced, confirming, for what it’s worth what I have just written.🙂

This Sunday the president of the United States of America will conduct a ceremony to rededicate the nation to God.

We have found Johnny Enlow to be a trusted voice with an excellent track record in these times of turmoil and uncertainty.

In this latest episode of his prophetic perspective linked above, he emphasizes in the first 35 minutes the importance of this rededication and elucidates the enormous significance of the recent visit of the British monarch to the White House and the symbolism associated with “The Beekeeper’ movie.

President Trump has read and identified with 1 Chronicles 7.14,

‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal there land.’

I had the privilege of going to London many years ago to sing on the recording of the musical by Jimmy and Carole Owens, If My People, a musical which took this message to thousands around the world.

Johnny also highlights the verse 2Ch..29;27 and how ‘the song of the Lord began with the Trump-ets” ….and that we should have an expectation for this at this time.

I am writing this blog from Gilnahirk. Gilnahirk is Irish for ‘the hill of the hornblower’. It was here many years ago that God gave me the song, Lord Jesus We Enthrone You……We proclaim you are King.’

Bob Jones prophesied to me, “I see you sounding a trumpet throughout the land.” That song has since circled the world with Jesus being proclaimed King in many, many nations.

Johnny describes how the British crown has through indebtedness illegitimately ruled over the USA. It seems God is now bringing resolution to this centuries old transgression.

Another prophetic voice we have come to respect and trust is Professor David Clements.

Here is the link to his journal giving another valuable overview of the spiritual and historical background and significance, to Sunday’s event.

https://professordavidclements.substack.com/p/the-two-conventions-the-importance?publication_id=1312253&post_id=197756638&r=526mh1&triedRedirect=true&ref=stonekingdom.org

In this act of rededication President Trump is affirming the battle cry of the American Revolutionary war, “No King but King Jesus.”

Hilary and I have been lead to become earthly citizens of both Britain and the USA. We hold two passports.This Sunday evening we will be singing that song again here at Gilnahirk, proclaiming Jesus, King of these two nations, as citizens and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God that is coming to the whole earth.

We invite anyone who is able and has a heart for this, to join us in worship, prayer and rededication this Sunday 17th May at 7.30 pm. Please email me and I will send you directions as to where it will take place..

Solomon’s prayer of dedication in 1 Chronicles 6 forms the basis for another song I was given. You can listen to it here….

Over the past few months we lost 3 close friends, and the world lost 3 good men.

A Good Man was written in honor of Pete Lundin a true American hero. Scott Stroud came to live with Pete and Sandy after coming to faith in prison, and we too are personally indebted to ‘realtor’ Sandy for matchmaking us with The Big Green House!

Pete’s discipleship helped Scott like many others he ‘fathered’ become an amazing asset in the kingdom of God. Scott’s song says it so eloquently.

If Pete was A Good Man, Brian was A True Friend.

When we moved to the USA despite Brian’s high profile public life, for example as a President of Irish Hockey, and of the Independant Insurance Brokers in the UK , he and Liz always made a point of remembering birthdays and seeing us when we were home to offer brilliant advice in areas where I lacked wisdom and know how and to keep us laughing with the best of Belfast humor😀 He was often 1st to open my latest blog….even if it was in the middle of his night!

For us, Brian was a true friend…….. integrity going the distance!

If Brian was A True Friend, John, was A Kindly Neighbor.

John lived 4 doors down and was a rough diamond, but with a heart of corn as the ducks would attest to swooping down to literally enjoy the corn he sprinkled on the snow for them in the midst of a harsh Minnesotan winter.

He would for example arrive at our house with a bike he had found and repaired for one of the grandkids. Then one day when he dislocated his shoulder he arrived……for me to fix it! Doctoring days far behind I did my best with the help of YouTube, but failed to reduce it.

‘We’ll just have to ask God to do it’ I said, laying my hand once more on his shoulder.

A few days later he returned waving his healed arm overhead!

I realized Father had given me a song for John years before his death which contained the line ‘a kindly neighbor’

Below is Ben’s recording of this song, ‘A Rising Sun’

https://benkyle.com/track/4225095/a-rising-sun

A few years ago a knock came to the door. It was again, our ‘kindly neighbor.‘

‘Look’ He said to me, pointing to the rainbow in the sky.

‘Do you know what that means?’

‘It’s God saying, “I will always love you.” ‘

John explained that although he had never learned to read himself, his mother used to read him Bible stories, including the story of Noah and the flood.

So at the funeral service, 2 of the 5 songs I shared were specially personalized by God for his beloved son, John!!

The Father’s Song from the last blog was also for him…..

Everyone’s beautiful in their time

It just takes time to prove

That the pleasure and pain

Like the sun and the rain

Make you part of my rainbow of love.

I received this song reflecting the story Jesus told of the loving Father and his 2 sons.

A friend unaware of this sent me the following link with a cryptic message “55 min”

I understood then that I’d received the song from the Father ……..particularly the last line whose wording I had labored over before settling on what you hear.

I then watched the full interview and realized why I had received it as we were sitting in the midst of a blizzard in Minnesota.🙂

After posting my running shirt number and the Cadillac license plate I got those messages from North Carolina today from our friend Sam Cox who ran the marathon with us,. 🙂

Paul,

I well remember the Twin Cities Marathon 2006, running through a bad injury that would ultimately require reconstructive surgery a year later. And, last month I turned 67! I was on a mission trip in Guatemala on my birthday (Feb 15) and the 7 students and 4 adults who we were with threw me a 67th birthday party.

Shalom,

Sam

P.S. A running buddy saw my picture and used AI to adapt it to finishing a marathon:

I forget to mention the 19 years, represents faith as in “those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.’
