Yesterday I picked our first crop of apples that had fallen off the trees and I brought them into the house and cooked them. There was a beautiful fragrance in the house as the apples were cooking.
This morning I was prompted to read this scripture:
'Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the Apple tree
There your Mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you, brought you forth.'
Song of Solomon 8:5 NKJ
I was reminded of a prophetic word I gave to a couple last week whilst I was visiting the Czech Republic. Part of the word was concerning the season when apples are harvested.
As I was thinking on that the Holy Spirit said:
'The season for APPLES has arrived. Many have been AWAKENED as though they have been in a deep sleep! Suddenly, they can SEE, they are AWAKENED to my LOVE, my PLANS, my PURPOSES for them.
Many have felt crushed, in a confined space, unable to stretch out and have felt frustrated. But be encouraged, when APPLES are crushed, they produce a drink - juice - wine - cider. Through the crushing you have become a 'drink offering' poured out to AWAKEN others to my LOVE, releasing HOPE to the downcast and an even greater HOPE to the NATIONS.
Many are 'BIRTHING' ('there your Mother brought you forth') the ENLARGEMENT that I have promised. You are bringing forth the NEW and seeing MUCH FRUIT!
Remember, it's not about you, what you can do, it's about ALLOWING ME to bring to birth that which I have PROMISED as you continue to lean upon your beloved. <3

BELLS - AUGUST 2014
Today as I've been preparing for my visit to the Czech Republic, I've been reading through some of my notes. The Holy Spirit highlighted a particular one to me regarding BELLS. I felt encouraged to blog it, so here we are:
Whilst in prayer on the 24th July I was reminded of the 'Call to Prayer' that a number of us felt the urgency of, a few years ago. (I would have journaled the exact date).
Personally, I remembered that I was in the garden, soaking, and I could here bells ringing. As we live near a main highway, the only likely noise to hear, is traffic! But most definitely, I could hear Church Bells ringing. When I asked the Lord about it, I sensed that just as in days gone by, the Church bells were ringing out as a Call to Prayer. We needed to increase our times in prayer, in order to receive fully what needed to be heard from heaven. Felt like some of us had been skipping off half way through lunch!
Well, on this day, 24th July, I could hear a SINGLE BELL ringing. This reminded me of my childhood when I would attend Mass every Sunday with my sisters and the nuns would ring a bell to gather together.
Again, asking The Lord what this was about, I sensed that this time, now, the bell is a calling to STILLNESS - QUIETNESS, which will result in a deeper ONENESS with Him, our Heavenly Father.
John 5:19 came to mind. This scripture tells us that Jesus ONLY did what he saw His Father doing. He lived his life like that. I believe the reason for me hearing a SINGLE BELL is a call to us, to take TIME to BE STILL - TO LISTEN and ALLOW HIM to show us, from HEAVENS perspective HOW to PRAY - WHAT TO PRAY - and then what ACTIONS to take.
There seemed to be an URGENCY about this - and in the light of recent Worldwide atrocities that we are now seeing on our screens, this is evidently even more important.
'For we wrestle NOT against flesh & blood but powers and principalities in the heavenly realms.'
Ephesians 6:12

AUGUST - Part two
WELCOME AUGUST AND THE ABUNDANCE THAT YOU BRING!
We know that the number eight represents NEW things-NEW beginnings. I sense that for many, during the month of August, we will see the long awaited promises of the NEW coming to fruition.
For some this will be evident with the ENLARGEMENT of property, whether homes, church buildings or both! There will be an ENLARGEMENT too regarding Kingdom connections with people, ministries and nations. Also, as I shared in AUGUST - Part One, there will be 'gusts' 'suddenlies' where we visibly see Heaven being let lose!
On Saturday 26th July the local Yeovilton Naval base hosted their annual AIR DAY. Consequently, I could sit in the garden and see a good display for free! There were a few helicopters, some jets, an old double winger etc and as I was watching them, God was speaking to me of the importance of our individuality. He said that as each aircraft was built for a specific purpose, so we, his children, are made for purpose. Each of us are given gifts, talents, character which makes up our uniqueness. Each one of us has a God given destiny but each one of us has the choice whether to walk in that or not. He went on to say how His Church needs to be BOLD in the days ahead and take every opportunity given to them to further His Kingdom.
Personally I have received an increase in the area of intercession for individuals, Churches and Nations which has been confirmed with dreams, open visions and God connections. I'd encourage everyone to just say 'YES' to whatever He says. For He knows the plans He has for us, plans to prosper us to give us hope and a future :). Jeremiah 29:11
I also saw a clear 'marking out' of PATHWAYS. I sensed for too long many have 'dilly dallied' and have lived in 'I'm not sure mode' about what God has been saying to them. Because of this, they have felt weighed down with indecisions. I sensed the spirit of God saying, 'ENOUGH! You don't need ten confirmations to make sure it's from me! I am your Father, I've got hold of your hand; I've got hold of your heart! You can trust me.'
Lastly, I saw the transference of wealth trickling Into the Kingdom. I sensed that we spend far too much time talking about money and this was grieving His heart. The God we know and love is the SAME God who provided Manna in the desert and water out of a rock. Most of us can give countless personal testamonies of the goodness and provision of God! In times of crisis we often forget.
So.....during this month of August let us remember who we are in Him taking time out just to lean on Him, listening to His heartbeat; becoming even more Intimate and having our hearts in complete alignment with His <3

AUGUST - Part One
At the beginning of July when God was speaking to me regarding the next few months, He spoke to me about 'GUSTS' coming during the month of August. I remember thinking, well, we don't usually have gusts of wind during August, but nevertheless wrote this in my journal.
On Sunday 6th July returning from Church, we called into a local supermarket. As I was nearing a check out, suddenly about half a dozen staff were rushing out of the door! I went towards the door to see what all the fuss was about.
There had been a sudden GUST of wind that had completely blown over secure outside stands with all the contents being thrown into the road!
One of the staff members shouted to another staff member "Where on earth did that come from?" She answered. "Don't know. It was just a gust of wind!"
I was reminded of what He had said to me. Although we are still in the month of July, this was a confirmation to me, about the month of August, what He had said. There will be some 'suddenlies' accelerations for many, we may be taken by surprise! But rest assured the plans and purposes of Heaven are being unfolded. It's all good! <3

JULY 2014
From the first day of this month I have seen a large amount of butterflies again. It's like everyone I go butterflies appear! A couple of days ago Father said that many, during this month, will rid themselves from their cocoons and begin to fly! Muscle has been built, a time of preparation, in this season, has now ended and He is releasing these beautiful butterflies into strategic places.
Many of us (personally not me, this time!) are in the process of physically moving into NEW homes, NEW areas, NEW cities and nations. We are being strategically placed to 'keep up the pace' of what is now being opened up to us. Some of us have felt as though this 'pregnancy' has gone on forever! It really is taking too long! I sensed He said, to hang on in their, this baby will be born, this is just a pregnant pause, you are still growing In the waiting. Delivery/release will come this month.
Number seven, (this seventh month) is often interpreted as meaning 'completion'. This will be a month where we will see a lot of things completed. For some a SHIFT in Employment, completing one job and moving to another. For some debt payments completed! And for some a 'completion' in relationships, people you've been hanging out with, or someone you've been hoping is the 'right' one. God is bringing clarity to make decisions enabling you to move forward in whatever direction He shows. A completion is in progress.
Lastly, I saw divine connections being strengthened. The cords, the bonds being made stronger. Previous connections that have become weak for whatever reason, will be connected again with such depth this time, that I saw lots of fireworks popping off with a display of such colours which I interpreted as the diversity of God. The wonder of Him releasing such GOOD things, such EXTRAVAGANT dreams and visions far beyond what we have seen or heard!

JUNE 2014
The word I received for the month of JUNE was 'A TIME TO BLOOM'.
Psalm 136:4
'To Him who alone does great wonders, for His mercy endures forever'.
I could see an ever increasing momentum of His 'great wonders' manifesting upon the earth. The effect of this was causing the Family of God to BLOOM!
There were also 'breakouts' 'outbreaks' where man had attempted to keep 'things in order', meaning that NEW WINE was trying to be kept in OLD WINESKINS in an attempt to CONTROL what was happening!
But this hasn't been Fathers heart....the New Wine must be poured into New Wineskins, this is His heart, His will.
Then I could see a bunch of Hazelnuts, the sort that squirrels stash away. He showed me that the enemy had withheld, stashed away, held up, particularly in the area of FINANCIAL PROVISION which was meant for blessing and furtherance of Kingdom strategies and plans. Take a stand against that! Rebuke the devourer and call forth the seven fold return he has now to pay! :)
Then I had the word 'ASIA' - Pray for ASIA
A = Avalanche coming
S = Showing
I = Immeasurable
A = Awesomeness of Fathers love <3
Asia will be popping like popcorn! Holy Ghost parties! Celebrations galore!! Woohoo!!
I see the colour yellow, like Sunshine colour. Glory....presence of God being poured out like Honey which will manifest greatly through HEALING.
A particular person, He named, to 'get ready' as he will have his hearts desire. (I contacted that person who was incredibly chuffed as he & his wife had made a personal family decision regarding their future; had posted a response to that decision the day before, in obedience to what Father was saying to them and now here was the confirmation! Thank you Papa! Off the charts!)
Healings will be popping up, breaking out all over the place particularly outside of Church :)
Lastly...particular prayer needed for Prince Charles as transition happens in the coming days.
A few specific things shown to me to specifically pray concerning that :)

MAY 2014
At the beginning of this month God reminded me of the word He gave to me in April - UPGRADE.
I felt to bring some encouragement on that:
I was at a meeting during April when the offering plate/bucket was passed around at every meeting. I remembered years ago that Kenneth Copeland said that we should NEVER let the offering basket pass us by if we don't want to miss out on blessing God and blessing ourselves. I remembered he said that if you haven't got any money to put in, then put in a shirt button or something!! And i liked that, it seemed right. That's always stayed with me and at times I actually have put in buttons! Yes....it was me!!
Well, here I was at this meeting asking Holy Spirit what I should put in. It was above what I was thinking! Ha ha! I was obedient.
During the month of April, 'Upgrade' month I received TWENTY times the amount that I gave at that meeting as my giving was 'upgraded' too! Faithful God :)
The word God spoke to me for the month of May was 'AWAKENING'. An awakening of our senses. To see, touch, smell, hear and taste the sounds/releases from Heaven. Personally this started at 23.30 hrs on the 30th of April and lasted until 01.30 hrs. Such a beautiful fragrance filled the room which increased & decreased at times, just kept coming with measures of His felt presence.
He said that many will begin to have their senses awakened to the Heavenly realms and bring us into a greater alignment of what He is doing. Don't dismiss these times, when we may feel prompted to shut ourselves away with Him, at His leading, as the Holy Spirit teaches us how too receive these things.
During this time, I saw those that are seasoned in the Prophetic flow will begin to see 'Clouds' These are symbolic of prepared clouds that are positioned for downpours of His presence upon the earth. I saw the manifestation of this as 'downpours' fell upon Market Places, Shopping Centres, and upon the Streets. These happenings were NOT because of something we had done, but because He was so longing to come! He had been waiting....
Then I saw a beach with stuff being washed up onto the shore. I sensed that some had been feeling that they are 'washed up' Their dreams, visions had somehow by passed and they would not see the fulfilment of them :( NO! NO! That was the whisper of the enemy! Flush it!
In this open vision, as they were walking away with their backs towards the sea, a HUGE wave is coming.....now just reverse up a bit, get back into the water and be ready to ride that wave!
Lastly...I heard 'Give thanks, give thanks, give thanks... Thanks for that HEALING, thanks for that PROVISION, thanks for your PRODIGALS returning, thanks for the PROMISES fulfilled!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Father <3
