On our return to the US I was directed to watch the following……

Please permit me to be a bit more personal on this blog.
In 1990 in Baltimore, the prophet Bob Jones prophecied to the leadership of Community of the King. His word for Hilary and I was……
“I see you under tremendous stress. I see the enemy trying to tell you, “It’s not going to happen in your life.” But the Lord is saying, “Yes it is! I’ve given you vision, an awakening and it’s absolutely going to happen” The enemy’s going to use every religious spirit he can against both of you to keep you from accomplishing those things that the Lord wants you to do. He’s got people just as close to you as he could get them to hammer you. He hasn’t brought you down. I saw a lot of opposition against people as I prayed for them today but you two have got the strongest opposition I’ve seen yet. Therefore you’ve got the strongest grace. You’ve got the strongest help. And I’m going to tell you you’re in the place of your anointing. and you aren’t deceived.”
This was at the height of the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’ when we’d been called to lead a fellowship made up of believers from the two waring communities. The Community of the King described not just what we were but whose we were, and it was our allegiance to King Jesus that would be, and still is, being tested.
I have come to realize that this was just a practice run for what lay ahead – the last few years!
When I went to watch the above Elijah Streams episode I thought “It’s a bit long!” But every minute of the 1hr 29 was worth it and had a powerful application for me and by extension if you have been reading these blogs for some time – for you : – )
The meat of the sandwich is Donegal. Mo Donegal was the name of the horse that won the Belmont Stakes in The Triple Crown on June 11th. Johnny Enlow’s profound prophetic interpretation of that race runs from the 20 minute mark to the 60 minute mark. As you know I have written much about Donegal over the years. I will reserve comments on that for the next blog. In this blog I will look at the ‘bread’ Father used to make up my personalized sandwich: -)
The first 20 minutes consists of Steve and Johnny discussing their previous episode with Juan O Savin (whom we have previously recommended). One of the issues that had created controversy was Juan’s strong language.
When I wrote and recorded the song “All Will Be Well” my use of a 4 letter word also created controversy. You can follow our conversation in the comments section here after the song on Youtube. Then when in Ireland another brother approached me and said he thought I was definitely wrong to use that word. I found Steve and Johnny’s apologetic was not only insightful and wise but a personal wink from ‘Dad’ : – )
The other personalized slice of ‘bread’ was to do with the question Johnny answered at the 60 minute mark about the exposure of church leaders who had been ‘bought off’ by the Deep State with regard to Covid and ‘the jab’
Personally we have experienced over the last few years in Bob’s words, being ‘hammered’ again, both from a financial and psychological point of view by people close to us. Thankfully I have not yielded to this pressure but have continued to speak about what God has been revealing to us. Once you’ve seen something it’s hard to unsee it! This has simply been the grace of God working in us. (1 Cor.15:10)
In Ireland we had three instances of loosing something…… having to let it go to God……. and then finding it again. Our friends bought us the tee shirt as you see above : -)
One of my Donegal blogs on September 18th 2019, Amazing Grace Country, told of how Donegal was in fact the location where the song Amazing Grace had been written.
The first verse goes. “I once was lost but now I’m found………….and then………was blind, but now I see.”
We hold nothing against those dear friends who have opposed us but have released them to God and continue to pray that they be blessed with the grace that where they are blind they might come to see even as we wish the same for ourselves.
Today for the first time in months I ran out of the local wood and circled back to find the return path.
The topography had changed. The path was no longer there….blocked by a fallen tree.
I realized, “I just need to stop, reflect and change direction……to find my way home.”
Over the last few years the world’s topography has changed dramatically.
I guess being willing to stop, reflect and then if necessary change direction, is the grace called repentance. (Acts 3:26)
We are thankful that unbeknownst to us our covenant keeping God was preparing us for all of this 32 years ago!
What a Dad!
P.S. Here are Johnny’s rough draft notes from this episode. https://www.elijahlist.com/mobile/display_word.html?ID=27501
