Background
Below is some background as to how I have come to be receiving more regularly the prophecies. It would answer the obvious question in the readers mind" "How did it start to happen so consistently?"
If you have already read my testimony web page http://www.BillionSoulsForChrist.com/testimony.htm you will recognise that I have been receiving prophetic revelation for a long time. Being ignorant of the direction The Lord was leading me while in training as well as a lack of knowledge about the prophetic ministries, I have overlooked many revelations over the years. Those who were and are close to me especially, my wife, can testify to the regularity of these events. I will share some of the important ones as part of my testimony update in the future.
The most important turning point for me moving into the prophetic starts on when I heard the Still Small Voice.
Still Small Voice date: 15 May 2005
From Friday, 13 May 2005, I began to sense The Holy Spirit telling me something about ministry. There was a hunger to go into ministry. However, I knew from past experience that desire does not necessarily equate to the right timing for obedience. The Holy Spirit must speak clearly about the timing before one can take appropriate action. I was also wondering how much longer before I finally got the call given that my 33rd birthday as a Christian was on the 17th May 2005. That to me seemed as long as the life of The Lord Jesus Christ here in ministry. I had gotten used to being disappointed at not getting any call from The Holy Spirit year after year. However, from that Friday I was continually thinking about the prospect longer than I would normally.
On Sunday morning during the 10.45am service, a Still Small Voice on the inside of my spirit spoke to me while the Senior Pastor, Brian Houston was preaching. He said "Give me a chance to prove to you what I can do through you". I knew at that very moment that it was the call I had been waiting for 33 years! There was joy in my spirit in hearing that invitation. In fact, I felt deeply that The Holy Spirit should not have asked me to give Him a chance but more rightfully have commanded me to get ready for the ministry. I was very touched by such a humble request from Someone, I so deeply love and worship as My Lord, Saviour and God. It wasn't that He was begging me to give Him a chance because I have been waiting for 33 years for His call. Rather, He chose to use the same way He first invited me to become a Christian. At that time He had been drawing me powerfully through the preaching of the Gospel. He had then spoken to me in that same Still Small Voice saying "Why don't you give this salvation invitation a chance. You have nothing to lose. You can see that the Gospel message you have heard and understood all make sense." I accepted that offer 33 years ago and I certainly accept it now.
The next most obvious question in my mind was "What kind of ministry was I called into?" I began a period of prayer and fasting seeking The Holy Spirit to clarify this for me. While meditating, The Still Small Voice of The Holy Spirit started to explained to me by opening my understanding to my many experiences over the past 33 years. It reminds me of the experience of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus whom Jesus explained the scriptures to regarding the coming Messiah, His death and resurrection. The scripture says then their eyes were opened when He broke bread as happened at the Last Supper and they recognised that it was The Lord Jesus Himself speaking to them.
The Holy Spirit gave me flashbacks of various dreams, visions, and prophetic utterances, supernatural knowledge over my entire Christian life that clearly testified of the His prophetic anointing. Although I was ignorant of the prophetic call, because I just considered it as part of my normal Christian experience. I knew it was not normal for everybody, but having been in Pentecostal circles for most of my life, I knew that Christians experienced giftings in varying degrees so I did not think it made me special. All it did was to testify that I had a meaningful, active Christian life in The Holy Spirit.
The experience of opening my eyes was however not sufficient. I reckoned that if I was called into the prophetic ministry than it meant that I should receive prophetic revelation on a more consistent basis as opposed to having a gift of prophesy. I asked The Holy Spirit to prove to me that He had indeed called me into the prophetic ministry and what was going through my mind was really from Him rather than some euphoric experience not base on fact.
The Holy Spirit did not waste any time. The first lot of dreams I received almost every night were dealing with aspects of my life that I need to get right. This was a fantastic demonstration of the Scriptural principles where judgement begins in the house of God. In this case it was me, the temple of The Holy Spirit. Repentance as well as recognition of attitudes, and responsibilities that come with the office confronted me. I also received dreams regarding issues within family members or Christian friends I have known in the past. One was even to a highly respected Church leader of a major denomination regarding attempt by an influential leader within the denomination to create a split. God had revealed that This attempt would fail under the effective Godly leadership of this denominational leader. To those I could contact, I was able to share with them to their blessing because it demonstrated that God loved them and was willing to get someone to contact them "out of the blue". Through these dreams The Holy Spirit also warned me about future attack by critics of the ministry. He informed that many people before me had succumbed to the critics and had become fence sitters.
Then one day The Holy Spirit gave me a taste of being a prophet to the nations. It was the most astounding revelation for which I could only intercede but did not fully understand what it meant until after the event of the London bombing. This was 3 months after I had started to receive revelations regularly , mostly by dreams. The Holy Spirit has spoken audibly to me that I will start to see visions regularly when I start going into all the world in ministry. I remember sharing this dream with my wife, Kerry, and she laughed at me making the realistic comment to which I sort of agreed. "You are having delusions of grandeur". We had both missed the meaning of the dream completely. It seemed that I was in the company of Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister....yeah, right! fat chance! However, within my spirit I felt that this dream was not about me meeting the Prime Minister but rather a terrorist event. As you will see from my description below, it was not completely clear to me what that event was. To make matters worse, my lack of experience in interpretation of symbols in dreams complicated things, but the inward witness was sure. Below is what I saw:
England
Dream Date: 2 July 2005 – Terror Attack in London
In the dream I found myself riding in a black limousine seated next to Tony Blair (the British Prime Minister). We were traveling from somewhere through the streets of London and going to his residence. The sky was grey, and most things around looked black, white or grey. I sensed that there was some kind of national crisis with Terrorism. The Prime Minister was obviously very concerned. I could see through the car window that the British SAS and police wearing the yellow shirts over black clothing were out in full alert and the public were being warned and directed where they should and should not go. It was like a state of emergency of some situation. I did not offer any advice to the Prime Minister. It seemed that I was just an observer.
In the next scene, I was in one of the offices in the British Parliament and looking through the tall glass windows I could see SAS troops walking around in-groups of threes on petrol. The windows were all closed and taped over to prevent gas leaking in. I also saw briefly, a boy (8-9 years old) who looked about my son’s age, lying down on a table sound asleep. I was obviously concerned about his wellbeing and I double-checked that the windows were securely sealed. Then I woke up. It was after 2:00am. I got up and went to the bathroom and then wonder to and fro what this strange dream was all about. I asked the Lord to make me remember it when I got up in the morning, in case it was from Him and there was a message in it. I also thought to myself, that I had nothing to do with Tony Blair’s wife in the dream because perhaps God did not have a message for her.
I went back to bed and lay down the dream continued but a different scene presented itself.
This time I was in a large room with a very long dark (black) table. In this room the black (dark coloured) chairs were not arranged around the table as in a dinning room or boardroom setting. I noticed that there was rubbish everywhere including paper, cardboard box strips, and dust and dirt in the room. It was a messy room. As I looked around Cherie Blair (Tony Blair’s wife) walked in. She seemed rather flustered as she walked passed. It was clear to me that this was her room or area of influence. Again I was an observer only. Then the dream ended and I woke up.
Possible Interpretation of the 8-9 year old boy asleep
The 8 –9 year young boy lying on a table fast asleep represented the 8 year length of term of Tony Blair’s Government. Tony Blair is, obviously concerned that potential for a gas attack on parliament would kill off his term in office, so he is taking all the necessary precautions to prevent that occurring.
Possible Interpretation of the Cherie Blair scene
The terror issue affected Cherie Blair significantly and Tony Blair noticed that she was not managing her responsibilities properly. She was seriously flustered and seemed to have lost control of her responsibilities. She needs prayer support.
Fulfillment of the dream Date: 7 July 2005
There has been a terrorist attack on London this morning at 8:45am. There were three explosions in the underground train network and also on a double-decker bus.
Fulfillment of second part of dream: 21 August 2005
There has been a news report that “UK police foil Parliament gas attack”. “British police believe they have foiled a nerve gas attack by the Al Qaeda terrorist network on the British Parliament, the Sunday Times reported.
The newspaper said the plot to target the House of Commons, or Lower House, was prepared last year and had been discovered in coded emails on computers seized from terror suspects in Britain and Pakistan.”
Dream Date 8 August 2006 - Earthquake in London
It was in colour and sound.
In the dream "my family and I" were living in a modern unit in a city I am not
(in reality) familiar with. It seems to me on recollection to be in London. The
skies were cloudy but not grey. It was dry but it had that "has been raining"
look about it. Looking out into the streets from unit I noticed that most of the
buildings were whitewashed. There were few skyscrapers and I could see for miles
across the city into the country side. It just reminded me of the time we last
had a stopover in the London suburb of Chelsea in 1998.
As I looked out the window, I noticed that the building was not far from a
street corner across the street from a MacDonald's Restaurant. On our side of
the street at the corner was an old building which was rundown. My oldest
brother, who incidentally lives in England, began to tell me that some rich
person (I do not remember their names) had purchased the old building as well as
the MacDonald site and was planning to build some modern buildings. As he was
talking I felt our building shake slightly but I did not take much notice of if
it.
I then felt like going to the bathroom so I walked over to the bathroom. As I
was getting underdressed, the building started to shake and I stood there for a
moment wondering if it was an earthquake. In the dream, in my mind this was very
unusual because earthquakes were relatively unknown and people were totally
unprepared for one in this place. The shaking continued and got worse until the
building started to fall on its side, at that very moment my fear was the fact
that I knew this was occurring because most of the buildings were not earthquake
proof. I was terrified that objects in the bathroom would crush me but I did my
best to jump to the correct position while keeping an eye out for falling
objects. The building fell over on its side and I climbed out safely and went
outside to see everyone else was safe. In the street people ran out of buildings
in all directions screaming. In particular, I noticed a woman, I do not
recognise except that she was hysterical as she fled the collapsed building.
Then the dream ended.
"My family and I" may represent a typical family in this particular location and not necessarily me personally.
There is an
earthquake that is going to hit London in the daytime and there will be a lot of
destruction with buildings collapsing. Most people are not prepared for it and
many buildings are not earthquake proof because such a violent event is
virtually unknown in London. This event will create a lot of hysteria among the
people.
In attempting to understand the meaning of this dream and to
confirm if earthquakes are not regular occurrences in
London I did a search on the
Internet and found this. Read this article regarding how unprepared London is
for an earthquake:

Caution Note:
For each prophetic word, I have provided a possible interpretation. I know from experience that on some occasions my interpretations have been wrong because I have not recognised the symbols in the dream and used the literal meaning of the dreams. However, the description of the dreams and visions are as accurate as I know how to describe them. So I submit them recognising my fallibility in interpretation.
South East Asia
Dream Date: 23 July 2005 – A Tsunami warning
It was in colour and sound. It was a clear day, I found myself standing in a street in a South East Asian country where buildings were made of mostly of timber, and some were made of bricks. It was a developing country. On the far left distance at least 5-10 km “as the crow flies” to my left I could see the Ocean and the beaches. The gradient of the land was sloping upwards from the beach and I was standing about halfway between the beach and the top of the hill. As I looked around, suddenly I could here someone shouting that there was a massive wave coming. This was the size of a Tsunami. As the person shouted out, a massive wave washed up the hill washing over all the buildings on the left side of this Seaside City or town. The waves swept uphill carrying everything with it. I found myself being taken by what was the wave up to near the top of the hill. There was a large building that was made like a warehouse/ shopping centre. I could all around were some Asian people engaged in trade. There was an air of panic all around as people were trying to flee to safety up the hill and inland where it was mountainous. Then I woke up briefly. And then went back to sleep.
I found myself at the top of the hill. I looked inland at the mountains and valleys and saw lines of people carrying their belongings and heading inland along dirt tracks. Along the roadside, people were selling foodstuffs. I noticed the poverty of the people and that they were of South East Asian in appearance.
This is a warning dream of a natural disaster that is going to occur in one of the Asian nations.
Dream Date: 23 July 2005 – Some Asian Church Leaders will turn their backs on God
I was confused about the dream but felt that I had not seen the end of it. I got up and went to the bathroom. As I came back to bed I asked the Holy Spirit to complete this dream because I was sure it was not complete. The dream continued.
It was daytime, in technicolour and sound. I found myself standing in a street in some Asian city. Talking to me was an elderly woman of Asia origin. She was a spouse of a former Asian (I just knew that she was Chinese in the dream) Christian or secular leader who has been dead for sometime. She was blaming God for Tsunami disaster. As she spoke I looked around and noticed that the seaside landscape were similar to the town that had been hit by the Tsunami. The only difference was that there were hardly any houses. It was mostly rubble and brown dirty landscape along the ocean shore. As she spoke she handed (more like dumped) over to me what appeared to be an Asian Bible. She was turning her back on God. She seemed angry and disappointed as she turned and walked away. I replied to her that God was not blame. I cannot remember the exact words I spoke, but I pleaded with her not to abandon her faith. Then the dream ended.
The Holy Spirit is warning that some Asian Church leaders will blame God for the disaster and turn their backs on Him. The Churches around the world must be prepared to offer both spiritual and material support otherwise the effect on Christianity in Asia could be devastating.
Fulfilment: Not yet
Uganda
Dream Date: 29 July 2005 – Death of Dr John Garang
It was in technicolour and sound. I found myself in the courtyard of a large farmhouse somewhere in Uganda. I had come from a meeting and reunion with some close kinfolk not far away from this farm. It was an unfamiliar place to me but I felt that I knew the occupants as close friends. I went into the building briefly and then went out because I was going somewhere. I found myself walking along a footpath with tall grass close to the path and thick forest about 10 metres from the path. I was on a very urgent mission to take light to another area some distance away. The urgency was because there were dangerous thick dark clouds that were moving very fast coming over the entire area. As I hurried along I looked ahead on the hillside about 5 kilometers and I could see that the foreboding clouds were very quickly covering the small patches of clear sky. Then suddenly, almost immediately, the entire countryside was in pitch darkness and the only light was what I had. This light was shinning out of my body and not a lamp. I looked around surprised at how quickly the darkness had over taken me and was suddenly aware that I had to turn back and take the light to the farm where I had come from before the darkness overtook them also. Then the scene changed.
I found myself heading along the driveway towards the large farmhouse. The home was a large modern house. (Note: This is a location I have never actually been to before in real life). There were farm implements around including a red tractor. I went inside the home. In what must have been either a very large living room or an internal courtyard where I stumbled upon a big debate going on. There were family members and some community leaders. The debate was about the plight of our tribe (Acholi). Some people were lamenting that there was a conspiracy, by those in authority and/or influence, to wipe out the tribe. They proposed strategies on what they should do to preserve the tribe including armed struggle. There was a strong personality elder who even advocated a protest mass suicide so the world would become sympathetic. While he was presenting his strong argument I suddenly saw a thin red line on his throat and he fell down backwards dead to the shock of all around. I was an observer up until this point. Then another moderate person immediately got involved arguing that the suicide strategy was entirely wrong and proposed an alternative approach. I cannot remember what it was but not all agreed to it. The whole atmosphere was very heated as arguments flew from all directions. Then the dream ended and I woke up.
This was a prophecy of Dr Garang’s final hours before his death. He felt he was the hope of his people and was in a hurry to take that hope to them. He was going to meet close friends and kinfolk during the day. Then he was to travel to a farmhouse where there was serious debate about the issues affecting the problems in Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan. However, suddenly he would die. What I saw were his actual thoughts and plans and the events that occurred from his perspective.
Prophecy Fulfilled – 30 July 2005
The strong elder who died was a prophecy about Dr John Garang, leader of SPLA in Southern Sudan. What I saw was the meeting that took place in Uganda at the country residence of Uganda’s President which included the President, Dr Garang, European Union ambassadors, US Ambassador to Uganda, and other political leaders. On that same day, Dr Garang died in a helicopter crash.
Bolivia
Dream Date 30 July 2005 – A Political move against evangelists can only be overcome by The Power of the Name of Jesus
It was in technicolour and sound. I found myself at a mass rally or crusade in a stadium. The rally was organised by a young American preacher or a group of young Americans as an outreach in South America. Suddenly from where I was watching, I saw a parade of women dancers dressed in traditional ceremony clothing of yellow shin length dress with floral patterns on the arms and bottom of the skirts. They also had yellow hats. They were in two rows dancing and turning from left and then right as they moved along singing traditional songs. They entered into the rally from my right hand direction and danced and sang going to the left-hand side. I knew in the dream that this was an obvious demonic interruption to the crusade. For a moment everyone seemed to be shocked and amazed at this parade and was totally distracted by them. I became angry at this interruption and started to call upon the Name of The Lord in intercession at the top of my voice, shouting “JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!” As I kept saying that I could hear the rest of the crowd and the ministry team joining in calling out so loudly in intercessory prayer, “JESUS! JESUS! JESUS”. I then looked at this dancing procession and saw that they were thrown into confusion and began to scatter, as the power of Satan was broken. Then the dream ended.
Update: 24 January 2006
I was watching the News about the installation of the new Marxist Bolivian President, the first ever Indigenous South American Indian to head the government. The video clip showed two rows of traditionally dressed Bolivian women dancing. I was amazed that it was like deja vous. It was the exact same type of women I had seen in the dream in dress style and moreover their dancing was exactly what I saw in the dream.
Possible Interpretation
The Holy Spirit is warning that the
installation
of the new Marxist Bolivian government will mean that
there will be a new move towards traditional Bolivian
culture. Note: The installation of the Marxist government is a move from the
right side of politics to the left as represented by the dancing women entering
the stadium. There will be repercussions against Christianity especially
crusades and outreaches in Bolivia. Christianity is
seen as a threat to the traditional Bolivia culture
and there will be moves to curb the activities of Evangelists
who predominantly come from the USA. The only
way this move can be stopped is by intercessory prayer in the name of JESUS for
the nation. God will then intervene to ensure that the Gospel is not hindered by
political pressures based on aggressive promotion of traditional
Bolivian cultural values.
Israel
Dream Date: 17 Sept 2005 – A wind of destruction as a sign of the end times
It was in colour and sound. I saw a tremendous destructive wind that swept through the Middle East area surrounding Israel this was an aerial view. Each nation was represented by their national flag. The destructive winds started from the area around Iraq and Iran sweeping in a clockwise direction southwards through the Saudi Arabian peninsula including the nations in that area and then towards the west to Syria but Israel was not affected. There was destruction all around the flags of those countries as the countries were destroyed their flags disappeared, but the flag of Israel remained untouched and spread out like a stiff board showing no damage at all. Interestingly, the flag was of a deep blue colour with 12 white stars.
Then the scene changed. I observed various prominent Christian leaders of major denominations declaring prophetically that these were signs of the end times. Note: I did not recognise any particular leader but was shown them stating that these were the signs of the end times. Then the dream ended.
Update: February 2006
Religious sectarian violence has escalated in Iraq. The division between the Shiite and Sunni Muslims is widening with the destruction of one of the holiest Shiite mosques. Given that the Shiites also dominate Iran while the Sunnis dominate Saudi Arabia it is possible for this situation to spread rapidly throughout this area. Given this is Muslim against Muslim war, Israel would therefore not be engulfed it the war.
This could mean that all Christians should see current civil war building up in Iraq and eventually spreading throughout the Middle-East as signs from the Holy Spirit that the end times are upon us. Also that God is protecting and will protect Israel during these times as a sign of fulfilling His promise to Israel. Note the 12 stars on the flag represent the 12 tribes of Israel. Refer to the story of Joseph’ dream in Genesis 37: 9
The destructive wind may be a form of disease such as the flu virus H5N1 which can spread with the speed and ferocity of a strong wind. Alternatively, it could be a powerful sandstorm such has never happened in that part of the world.
Israel could also stand for the Church and this means that God will protect the Church in the midst of the coming destructive winds from the enemies of the Church. These are a sign to the Christians of the end times. When the signs of the destructive winds begin to occur then know that it a sign of the end times.
Scotland
Vision Date 23 November 2005 – Revival to start in Lock Ness area in Scotland
I was traveling in the bus and had my eyes closed. I saw a vision in colour. I saw a map which had a number of lakes on it. A hand appeared on the map and pointed with what appeared like a pen. I then heard an audible voice say the words: "Revival" followed by "Lochness". Then the vision ended. I opened my eyes initially surprised given that I was not expecting to see any vision let alone something about Lochness. Scotland not in my mind at the time, and certainly not Lochness. On reflection I soon realised that Lochness is in Scotland. I later checked on a map of Scotland and discovered that Lochness area includes a number of lakes, something I was not aware of until then.
Possible Interpretation
This means that a Revival is going to start in Scotland in the Lochness area.USA
Dream Date Week beginning November 27, 2006 – Senator Barack Obama elected President of USA
click on the link USA
AUSTRALIA
Australia to win bid to host Soccer World Cup
Your feedback Please: If you know more about Lochness area and what intercessory prayers in Churches are going on please let me know on info@BillionSoulsForChrist.com
I have almost no knowledge of Scotland so this vision is totally "left field" for me. However, maybe there is someone, some church or fellowship group who need to know that The Holy Spirit is about to do something wonderful in answer to their prayers.

Important Note:
The prophetic ministry is not at the whim or will of the prophetic person.
The revelations are at the Sole discretion of The Holy Spirit. The prophet
must be true to what is received so that God's name is not blasphemed. For this
reason, what is given above is what I have received. I cannot add to it or take
away from it. But I do accept that sometimes my attempts to describe what
I saw may be limited by my grasp of the English language. This was the
same problem the Biblical prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and the Apostle John
had.
