Iran's Nuke Agreement: Historical Mistake or Historical Breakthrough?

“Enrichment, which is one part of our nuclear right, will continue, it is continuing today and it will continue tomorrow and our enrichment will never stop and this is our red line.” - Iranian President Rouhani said during the address to mark his 100th day in office - (http://www.tasnimnews.com/English/Home/Single/204511)

We have been praying for Iran since last April continuously. Recently the leaders of the world P5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) made a decision in Geneva, on November 24^th, 2013, which was completely misguided, and shows their lack of understanding of the Iranian leadership. While we were praying for this matter, God showed me an illustration about this incident. You may know this story.

One day the sun and the wind had a competition to see who could get the man to take off his coat. The wind blew as hard as he could but the man just tightened his coat the more the wind blew. So the wind failed. Then the sun started shining. He shone brightly and it got warmer and warmer, till the man took off his coat, and then his jumper and his shirt too!

The former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is like the harsh wind and Rouhani is like the sun. Mahmoud failed although he blew out harsh wind for years. But Rouhani started sending his warm rays for a few months and the West has now decided to lift their sanctions. It is as if Britain doesn't remember what happened in Tehran on 29^th November 2011: the British Embassy was ransacked. As if the USA doesn't remember what happened on November 4^th , 1979: the American Embassy in Tehran was attacked and 66 hostages were taken in Iran and had a horrible time; although Iran remembers it well and even celebrates the event every year.

Iran has been pursuing the development of nuclear weapons for more than 20 years. Can you believe that one day suddenly the new president has decided to stop pursuing the goal of these last 20 years? The Islamic government supports and supplies Hezbollah; it is their aim to terrify the world and have the means to destroy Israel.

We mustn't be deceived, although our political leaders may be deceived or they may deceive us. We need to understand that we are approaching the last days. The nations will unite to come to fight against the LORD and his Anointed one. We need to be alert of this timing and the world situation. Also we need to prepare ourselves as the bride of Christ and to anticipate with excitement the Heavenly wedding. Also we need to ask for more workers and be ready ourselves to GIVE whatever we have and to GO, whoever we are. At this time we need to rise with the love of God, rather than falling with the gravity of the world.

Nonetheless, God is working in Iran in an amazing way. He was there in the past, he is there now and he will be there (as you have probably read in our feedback from our trip to the Middle East. If you want to read, click here.)

However, those who agreed together to give way to Iran to carry on the Nuclear programme will be ashamed with their nakedness, if they don't amend and repent.

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us." He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision. (Psalm 2:1-4)

Qday Moves on from Nations team with Blessings
I came to Wales 15 years ago to participate in a mission training course which Nations ran. A year later I joined the Nations team to help many followers for world mission, as God had led me.

Seven and half years ago, I had to stop everything because of my illness. From that time of stopping, God started in me a new journey of faith. Although I couldn't do anything in terms of normal work or ministry, 5 years ago God dropped in to my heart a call to redeem the spiritual inheritance of Rees Howells. Our family began going to the Bible College of Wales grounds every Sunday and two years later a monthly meeting started to pray for redeeming the inheritance. Then last year we launched the 1st Forge School of Faith in Wales although we didn't have finance, place or people. We have now run 3 Forge Schools, 2 intercession trips in the Middle East, and are currently running a youth Forge for 2 months.

Last October, my colleagues at Nations gave me an opportunity to share my heart about The Forge journey. And my colleagues have recognised that a new life has been conceived, so they have released me with blessings from Nations ministry. It is sad, like a grown-up-daughter leaving her parents house to start a new life with her husband, but it is exciting too.

We have been meeting and eating together as the Forge community since the last Forge School of Faith, although we are still living in a terraced house. We are looking for a bigger 5-6 bedroom house for the time being in this journey.

The Forge journey of Faith with Korean Youth
7 Korean young people and a teacher arrived safely in the UK on 14^th December. At the moment they are with us in Wales. We have swapped houses for 2 months, and our swapped house is great; 6 bed-rooms and a two bed-room detached cottage. We have been ice-skating, to see a football game, visiting places around, and are planning to go to Edinburgh and London sight-seeing. Also every morning, we are spending more than an hour at Jesus' feet with the Bible scriptures, then everyone is sharing, praising and praying the whole morning. Sometimes it is tearful and sometimes joyful but everyday is wonderful. God is forging not only them but also us. Thank you so much for your prayers and support in many ways. We are praying that Jewish youth and other youth may come in to this Forge journey for the Kingdom's purpose.

Seung-Ae has come back to Wales with 2 year visa
Seung-Ae worked for 4 years in Thailand as a missionary. After that she was burnt out and has been with us for six months as a friend. The day before yesterday she came back with a two year visa to serve in the Forge to rebuild the ruined forges and raise up the blacksmiths for the Kingdom of God. I really thank you Nations team for helping us to process the visa.

[ Unfinished Race with Rees Howells ]
Rees Howells purchased a fourth property, which is called Penllergaer, for Jewish children. He planned to bring at least 1000 Jewish children from Europe to the UK but he managed to bring only 12 children because Second World War began. On Friday 21st September, a Korean lady and Mathew Toller, a Messianic Jewish Rabbi wanted to visit the BCW sites. Three of us went and walked on Glenderwen, Derwen Fawr, Sketty Isaf and Penllergaer. As we got to Penllergaer waterfall, Mathew asked me about “The Forge” vision, which is raising up spiritual blacksmiths through setting up a centre for worship, intercession, mission and to raise up the next generation and to work for Jewish people at BCW sites.

At that point Mathew told me that Jewish people need to come to 'The Forge' to be equipped as missionaries and should go out to the nations of the world again. I really felt and prayed that is what Rees Howells left and we need to pick up. The Jews who will come might not be from Israel but from the USA and Europe, etc. It is very interesting because we didn't plan to go there at all on that day and the Jewish connection reopened up in our prayers in that place where Rees Howells prayed and planned.

When I was in Israel in October 2012, God spoke to me again about Jewish missionary training in Wales. On 7th October, when I woke up at about 6 am, I felt God wanted me to go up to the Temple Mount. When I was in a queue and also on the Temple Mount, God spoke to me again about the Jewish missionary training. I came down to the Western Wall. As I touched the wall, he spoke to me again. So I told God, “I don't know what to do and how to do it although you are saying to me.” Then he told me, “I have called you because you don't know and you cannot do it with your own ability.” I wept!

[ Place All on the Altar! ]

On Sunday 31st March 2013, I went to Penllergaer to walk with God. While I was walking, I heard, “Go back to the beginning!” This voice was lingering nearly all day. A few days previously, I had got a phone call from a friend of mine in Swansea. He was organising an Easter Egg Hunt for children on Monday 1st April and he wanted me to bring over my son Noah and family to Swansea on BCW site. I reluctantly went and found that Derwen Fawr house was opened.

Later on I called my younger son Yohan to come to the Blue Room with me because his conception and birth are deeply related to our journey of faith. I took a couple of photos of him in the room and I saw a card on the top of fire place. As soon as I looked at it, God spoke to me loudly and firmly. “Place All on the Altar!” On that card there were a few Bible scriptures and this hand writing. Only this sentence jumped out to me and convicted me. Later on I found that a lady sent this card last November from Penllergaer area. Isn't it interesting? One day I heard “Go back to the Beginning!” and the next day “Place All on the Altar!”

In January 2009, our family started going to the BCW sites every Sunday according to God's conviction, that he wanted us to redeem and restore the SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE of Rees Howells. Then the BCW sites were closed down and the college moved to England in July 2009. From that point I felt that God wanted us to redeem and restore the PHYSICAL PROPERTIES too, as part of the inheritance. Thankfully one of these has now been purchased and is being restored by Cornerstone Community Church, Singapore. So “Go back to the beginning” might mean that this journey is to redeem and restore the spiritual inheritance of Rees Howells only. Although I still don't know a lot of things, what I know is that I have to place all on the altar and I have placed BCW sites on the altar. Of course it was so hard for me but obedience is better than sacrifice.

It looks like my 4 years and 4 months intercessory journey with BCW sites has come to an end, although we are still pursuing Rees Howells spiritual inheritance and the picking up the baton of equipping Jews and Gentiles for the last harvest fields. But we are pursuing in redeeming his spiritual inheritance through the Forge vision.
