Just last week, two different events of God’s wonderful creation caught my attention and prophetically spoke to me.

The first happened as I was leaving work, looking over the valley leading away from the Malvern Hills. Earlier in the day I had gazed over the valley, watched layers of mist hovering over the ground. By the afternoon, thick clouds were covering the sky but breaks in the cloud were starting to show. As I looked up, I caught the glorious sun breaking though the clouds, with its light shining down on the earth.

With the humidity of the day, the rays of light were clearly visible. Over one field, a misty vapour was waving as it reached upwards from the ground, escaping into the atmosphere. Even though I was not near the sun rays, I felt a warmth of the sun impacting the atmosphere and was reminded of Habakkuk 3:3-4

“His splendor covers the heavens, And the earth is full of His praise. His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power.”

The sight before my eyes was splendorous, especially as I love looking at manifestations of created light shining from the sun. And yet God, being omnipotent and omnipresent, His splendour was before me. I didn’t hear physical singing, yet the earth was surely praising the Creator of all things – but that’s a whole other thought for another day.

Our God is the Father of Light (James 1:17), whose heart as a loving father is to give us great gifts. Within His hands there is power to create, give, heal, restore and so much more. The sun rays that I saw shining down from the heavens reminded me of the healing power of God. As we go out representing Him throughout the earth, we can release His power through our hands, bringing healing and transformation, as a touch of Heaven is released.

I believe God was showing me that a fresh wave of His healing power is about to be released through His people that will see a transformation in the land. It’s closer than we think. It’s more powerful than we think. The Kingdom of God is at hand and the only limitations put on it’s manifestation are the limits we put on it ourselves. There is no measure to the greatness of God. Yet we are called to meditate on His great works and the splendor of His majesty. Psalm 145. As we dwell on these things, He has promised to reveal Himself. As the thoughts He has for us out number the grains if sand on the shore, He has a lot to reveal to us just about ourselves, let alone His mysteries contained within His word.

In the natural, there is power in the sun and the rays of light that shine on the earth. Without the sun we would not exist as the energy of sunlight supports life on Earth. It does this by photosynthesis and the rays of sunlight also drive the Earth’s climate and weather. Although some fear being in the light of the sun, incase they get burnt or get skin cancer. However, this is only comes about due to our covering having become ineffective. Changes in the earths atmosphere have seen increases in the amount of certain light that can lead to skin cancer, but we also have a responsibility in being covered. The sun is important as the body produces vitamin D from sunlight (specifically from the UVB band of ultraviolet light). Secluding ourselves from the sun can lead to deficiency in this important vitamin, which scientists believe leaves the body generally vulnerable to cancers.

In the spiritual, we need to make regular time to bask in the beauty and power of the Son. Take time to bask in God’s rays. To be in the light and warmth of His presence. Let the healing that is in His wings pulsate over us, influtrated by His affection for us. The energy of the Son brings refreshing and healing. As we are transformed and energised, we can trade on this exchange. We are called to minister to God in the inner court, an intimate time of us being with God and then minister to people in the outer court.

At the being of the year I was caught up in a vision high up above the earth, where I saw two angels turning a satellite to point towards the United Kingdom. This turned out to be a hugh ray gun that was being directed to a frozen Britain, covered totally in snow. As I watched I saw the nation being defrosted and a warmth coming back into the heart of the country, restoring a strong heartbeat. It was like the country was being healed by this healing ray, transforming it’s heart that had been packed in ice, gone cold and was hardly beating. The rays beaming down brought the country back to a place of passion and love for God. Through fear, deception and distraction our nation has been out of the sun too long, that is, out of the rays of the Son.

There are pockets of fire throughout villages, towns and cities in the UK. That can not be denied or overlooked. There are many who are doing good things, however, on the whole Western Christianity has been reduced to an event (or in some peoples lives many events!), where it must be a lifestyle. We need to be recognised as carriers of His Spirit, regardless who sees us. So not yet Christians need to see the Spirit of God in us and flowing out of us, oozing out of our very pores, reflecting and radiating His Glory.

There is a shift taking place. The tide is turning to an emphasis outside of corporate gatherings, which are vital, but are only 2 hours in a 168 hour week. The shift is towards Kingdom lifestyle, Kingdom presence, Kingdom glory.

The Moon

The other event I saw took place a few days later, when a strange effect could be seen in the evening sky. There was a slightly eary lighting effect in the night sky. There were a few clouds in the initially hiding the moon. But soon its radience was lighting up a gap in the clouds, as if car headlights were breaking over the brow of a hill before you actual get to see the car itself. This brought about a high contrast in the clouds, with bright light shining through the gap in the clouds, with darkness on the other side.

It was the last day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the beginning of the autumn season and it perfectly coincided with a full moon – a Harvest Moon.

As the summer sun set during evening it started to blend with the rising autumn moon to produce a unique sight. During this time of twilight there was a 360 degree light in the sky as the two light sources illuminated the lower portions of the sky but from opposite sides of the heavens.

Apparently this is not the first time that the seasonal calendar and the moon have matched up to create such an event like this. However, it’s interesting to note that it was the closest the two events have been together. The time between the official autumnal equinox (11:09 p.m. September 22, according to Science@NASA) and the full illumination of the Harvest Moon was down to just 6 hours. The closest its come to this in the past was 1991, but with a 10-hour difference. The next we’ll see something like that again will be 2029.

Moon is an interesting example to us. It reflects the glory of the sun. Without the sun becomes ineffective as a luminary as it does not create it’s own light. Infact its not far off from being a massive lump of coal. But it does an amazing job at reflrcting ling, not just any light but light of the light of the sun.

At the point where the seasons changed, the moon was at its fullest. A full moon. And with the sun out as well, we experienced a 360 degree illumination from both the sun and moon. This spoke to me of an increase in his people passionately pushing through into a new season and reflecting His glory; also seeing an increase in his manifest presence. We will become greater inmatators of Jesus Christ we will become a sign pointing to the sun.

The Moon’s gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day.
Influence of moon brings high tides. Changing seasons.

Not take much to realise the moon reflects light rather than a source of light. It points to a greater revelation. Greater promise of light.

Isaiah 60
ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.

And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Lift up your eyes round about you and see! They all gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms.

Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance] and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] [a]Sea shall be turned to you, unto you shall the nations come with their treasures.

A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] shall cover you [Jerusalem], the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all the men from Sheba [who once came to trade] shall come, bringing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
