Call to Prayer is having a gathering in
Meriden, near Coventry today to declare Smith Wigglesworth’s prophecy in 1947 and
Jean Darnell’s vision. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/meridenprayer
Jean Darnell’s vision…
JEAN DARNALL 1967
DURING those
weeks a vision came to me. It appeared three different times, during prayer,
and it was the same vision each time. Now most of my revelation from the Lord
is what I just ‘know’: He makes me know something, and I speak it forth. But
now and then I have a vision, and when I do I have a pretty good one! Some
people have a very garden-variety type of visions: they’re getting them all the
time, you know. But I just have them now and then. And it’s usually a
milestone: a turning point or very large directive in my life.
And what I
saw was the British Isles, as in a bird’s-eye view. A kind of haze was over the
whole, like a green fog. And then little pinpricks of light began to appear
from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then the Lord seemed to draw me closer
to these lights, and I saw that they were fires that were burning. They were
multiplying from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. Then I saw lightening come
and strike those fires, the brightest spots particularly, and there was a kind
of explosion, and rivers of fire flowed down. Again, the sense of direction was
from the top of Scotland to Land’s End. But some of those rivers of fire didn’t
stop there. They went right across the Channel and didn’t stop there. They went
right across the Channel and spread out into the Continent.
The third
time this vision appeared I figured the Lord was showing me or trying to tell
me something. I was in Dorset by this time, at St Mary’s (Church of England)
with Rev Ken Prior, and I asked him if I could stay an extra day. You know,
there’s nothing quite so awkward as an evangelist the day after the meetings
are over. But I said, “Could I stay an extra day in the vicarage and pray? I
need to find out what the Lord is trying to say to me.” Because up to that
point I was really still on my way to Hong Kong. And the Lord spoke to me very
clearly. It was a wonderful day. It certainly changed the path of my life.
When I say
the Lord spoke to me, I don’t mean that it was an audible voice. But it was a
knowing. That strong knowing, like reading at the end of a book and knowing
exactly what was going to happen. And you can’t change it: it is written. And
so it was written upon my heart, the meaning of this vision.
Phase 1: THE GLOWING FIRES
The Lord
impressed it on my Heart that those fires I saw were groups of people whom He
would make intensely hungry for New Testament Christianity. They would start
reading their Bibles and saying, for instance, as they read the book of Acts,
“Well, where is this happy church? Where are these people so full of the power
of the Holy Spirit? Where are these miracles? Where is this growth, this
vitality, this courage, this boldness that these people had? Is that for today
– can we have it today? Should the church be this way?”
And as these
questions were being planted in their hearts, the Lord Jesus said He would make
them very hungry for the Holy Spirit; He would fill them with the Holy Spirit,
and out of those gifts would flow ministries that would enrich the Body of
Christ. The whole concept of the Body of Christ would come alive, and barriers
between denominations and different types of Christians would break down as
people met each other. The Lord said He would move these people all over the
country. After he had taught them gifts, he would move them to another place
where they would carry that fire, and where they would meet others also who
were being renewed by the Holy Spirit. He would put them in different
situations from what they were used to, so that they would get to know people
of other denominations, other cultures and other classes, and be able to
communicate to them the blessings that the Lord had given them. And then He
told me that during that time He would also test them. There would be great
testing of faith, great waiting times. He would teach them spiritual warfare.
He would show them the meaning of the power of the blood of Jesus, the name of
Jesus, the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Phase 2: THE COMING OF THE LIGHTNING
Then I asked
the Lord, “What does the lightning stand for?” and he said,
“Unlike the first part, in which I will be speaking to Christians and preparing My church and renewing it and reviving the saints, the lightning represents a second part of the vision, in which I will bring a spiritual awakening to the nation that will be a witness to the unsaved, to the ‘un-churched’, to the non-Christian.
“Through these believers I will bring a witness to this land. They will be an army of witnesses. And I will begin to release their ministries so that when they give their testimonies there will be apostolic signs following and accompanying their testimonies. Where ears have been deaf and hearts have been hard and eyes have been blind, I will touch the people of this land and they will begin to hear the testimony of My people, they will begin to see the manifestations of My power, and their hearts will begin to believe. Thousands and thousands of people are going to come into my kingdom through this army of witnesses, through this people movement – not characterized by any particular evangelist or great organisation at the front, but just My people rising up, led by My spirit and beginning to move forward with a new faith for evangelism, a new zeal to share Jesus with others. And as they give their testimonies, I will release their ministries of healing and miracles, and there will be signs and wonders accompanying their ministries. So many people will be saved, in the villages as well as in the cities, in the schools, in the government, in media, in industry. It will affect the destiny of this nation; it will determine the course of the times.”

Phase 3: STREAMS ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Then I said,
“Lord, what about these streams that go on across the Channel into Europe?” and
He said,
“That represents people who will rise up in the midst of this people movement, this army of witnesses in Britain, whom I will make My communicators.”
Now I hadn’t used that word very much before in ministry I said, “Lord, what do you mean by communicators?” and He said,“They will not only be people endowed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with strong faith, but they will also be people talented in the arts. They will be writers, musicians, singers and actors, and also technicians in television, radio and the mass media. I will call and send them and put them in strategic places. I will bless their natural talents with my Spirit, and they will be good: they will excel. They will be leaders in their fields. I will send them into Europe, where they will meet other people in the media, and through them I will release the word of God very fast in Europe. The result will be another wave of a spiritual awakening, with thousands coming to Christ throughout Europe.”

Well, I got
kind of excited after I’d heard all that from the Lord, and I said, “Lord, why
are you telling me this? I’m on my way to Hong Kong!” And He said, “Oh, no you’re not: you’re
going to stay right here, and I’m going to bring Elmer here.” And I said, ‘ What
do you want us to do, Lord?’ And He said, “I want you to nourish the fires that I light.” So I’m not the
firelighter. The Lord is the Firelighter!

100 days of Prayer
Day 56
On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish
leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’
John 20:19 (NIV)
RESURRECTION PEACE
PRAYER
Risen
Christ, remembering your resurrection, and the message of peace that
accompanies it, we pray for peace to be with us. May the peace of Christ rule
in our hearts, as we hear the call to live in peace through unity. May we see
you, and know peace here. Amen
