Some of you who know me will be aware that God has been opening up many doors for me to minister as a Prophet in recent years. First France, then South Africa, next the US...
It has been an adventurous journey, sometimes hazardous, many times alone, but with a lot of fun along the way.
In recent weeks God has been telling Mrs Prophet and me that we need to move out from the safety of where we are and move on to a new phase of the journey. This was not an easy thing to do but as a result we will be moving on from our local church at the end of December. It seems that once we were willing God began to remind us of pictures and words we have received over the time since I gave up full-time employment that confirm this step is His will.
Where next? We don't know. This was one of the questions asked by our Team Leader and it was not easy to answer. Some who know have seen it coming and been great, we are aware that many others won't understand and maybe will even feel we are being disloyal but we have to follow God's lead. We will be around for the next three months so hopefully that gives us time to make sure we leave with as much support as possible.
Having said all of this we aren't leaving friends, it just means we need to work harder at the friendships.
If you pray, pray for us. We need to know constantly God's love and will.
From poverty to prophet sums up my journey. I began as the son of a miner from a 200 year generation of miners in a small Lancashire town. God took me out of the line and chose to use me as a Prophet. After years of working out what I wasn't I finally found who I was. My thoughts and ramblings will tell the onward story.

If you step out in faith God will bless you a 1000X. God is always faithful, it us who are unfaithful to his will, I know I am, I sometimes try and take the easy way out.
Take strength in the fact you are being obedient servants and you are following his will, for this he will always be by your sides. Remember the poem foot prints in the sand, when there are only one set of footprints he will be carrying you. Please keep me updated and I will Pray for you both.
God Bless you both

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
