7th July 2012, 7am-7pm
National Day of Prayer for a Year of JUBILEE in BRITAIN
(Repent & Redeem & Restore & Release)

About three weeks ago, when I was thinking of the Queen’s Jubilee, God told me, “Don’t focus on her Jubilee but the Jubilee of Britain. This year is the year of Jubilee in Britain.” As I thought about this further, I understood that God wants us to declare and pray for the Jubilee of Britain. Since 1948 Britain has been declining economically, territorially and morally. I believe that Britain has been enslaved spiritually.

Biblically, slaves and prisoners are released, debts are forgiven, and the land is returned when the trumpet of Jubilee is blown in the year of Jubilee. I feel God wants to release the British Isles into the fullness of His eternal purposes again, especially He wants to use her again to send out missionaries all over the world. If we really stand on this ground and declare it is Jubilee, God will turn Britain around in many ways. (Leviticus 25, Isaiah 61:1-4)

Just over 72 years ago, in May 26 1940, Britain was at crisis point. The war was in full swing, and a huge number of British troops were trapped on the coast of Northern France; Dunkirk. There was no way to rescue them, and the Germans were advancing. Then something amazing happened:

“King George VI called for a National Day of Prayer to be held on 26th May. In a national broadcast he instructed the people of the UK to plead for Divine Intervention. Together with members of the Cabinet, the King attended Westminster Abbey whilst literally millions of people across the British Isles flocked to churches to join in prayer seeking deliverance. Nothing like it had ever been seen before in our country, or indeed in any country, with people queuing to get into churches pleading for help.”
(Taken from “Why We Should Remember” by Rev. J. Willans, available on http://www.ensignmessage.com/shouldremember.html)

The result was astounding. Three miracles then happened: (1) Hitler stopped his general advance, (2) a storm of extraordinary fury grounded the German Air Force on May 28, and (3) a great calm settled over the English Channel for several days. 335,000 men of the British army were evacuated from Dunkirk! Defeat and invasion of Britain was averted. And who can imagine what life in Europe would be like for us if they hadn't been?

We know from the history of the people of Israel that they were released from their Babylonian captivity after 70 years by God and through the intercession (REPENTANCE) of Daniel who understood God's promise and his timing, and took action by faith (Daniel 9:2-19). I believe we now need to STAND together with understanding of God's heart with repentance and BLOW the trumpet as a prophetic action for a year of Jubilee.

So I am proposing a National Day of Prayer on 7th July, from 7am to 7pm, in REPENTANCE with fasting if you can, to see this nation turned around as it was 72 years ago, so that God may redeem and restore her spiritual inheritance as well as release her into her destiny.

HOW to STAND TOGETHER?
