AN URGENT WORD FROM THE LORD TO BRITAIN
In our February/March paper we printed a four-page ‘Letter to the Church’ from Intercessors for Britain, which included a warning prophecy. Now there is an urgent prophetic call for repentance because judgement is already here – but it will get worse.
Prayer leader Rev Jennifer Abigail Lawson-Wallace has had this message on her heart since 2020, but was not led to make it known until this year, because God had told her that if King Charles was crowned, it would be a sign that Britain had entered into judgement and God’s glory had departed
This call to repentance is not a cliché! It is an urgent warning from God to Britain (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) that I’ve carried in my heart since 2020, and I am now [on 20 February 2024] led by the Holy Spirit to proclaim it (Jonah 3:4-5).
To get me to understand the genesis and prognosis of the current condition and predicament of Britain, the Lord asked me to study Isaiah 29. Please read Isaiah 29 and Romans 1:18-32, as the key Scriptures for reference.
The message begins here:
There is a cry from God, a call of the Spirit of God to Britain:
“REPENT, FOR YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED INTO JUDGEMENT!”
The Lord says he is grieved with Britain and is calling for repentance of what he terms, “The fundamental sin of Britain.” [While we must repent of the serious sins of rejecting Israel, killing unborn babies and redefining marriage, these are, in fact, some of the symptoms of our fundamental sin.]
The fundamental sin of Britain
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them” (Romans 1:18-19 NKJV)
Britain’s rejection of God began with her pride and arrogance, especially during the Industrial Revolution
The fundamental sin of Britain is that, after knowing and walking with the Lord for centuries and becoming prosperous through his favour and power, Britain rejected him as the Creator by propagating the theory of evolution. In rejecting him as Creator, Britain also rejected him as her God, King, judge and lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22). This rejection then spread across the West, all the way to America and across the world. This is the Lord’s fundamental grievance against Britain, for which we must repent!
The Lord says that Britain’s rejection of him began with her pride and arrogance, especially during the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840), when the British led the world with many innovations and inventions. During this period, people also began to develop new theories and philosophies, many of which were at variance with God and his Word.
They began to worship at the altar of science
[Two popular ones were Charles Darwin’s Essay of 1844 and ‘On the Origin of Species’, published in 1859, which rejected the biblical Creation story, proposed the theory of evolution and undermined God as the Creator and originator of humanity and the earth].
The Lord bemoaned this rejection in Isaiah 29:16:
“Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; for shall the thing made say of him who made it, ‘He did not make me’? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, ‘He has no understanding’?
Rejecting God as Creator signalled the downward trend for Britain. If God does not exist, then his laws are invalid and irrelevant and need not be obeyed! [Israel would no longer be significant as his chosen people. Life would be meaningless, leading to philosophies like existentialism, creating our own ‘truths.’]
Unfortunately, however, since man was created to worship, science and technology (idols and works of their hands) became gods to them; they began to worship at the altar of science (Romans 1:20-23).
God’s judgement
It is always only a matter of time before God’s judgement begins to manifest. (His dealings with Israel provide a perfect template for comparison and analysis).
Therefore, the Lord says that his judgement of Britain’s fundamental sin has begun and is now evident and prevalent in every warp and weft of our society [in the media, government, marriage and family, education, the socio-economic realm, the arts and religion].
The Lord refers us to Romans 1:24-32 for an in-depth description of his judgement (please read the full passage).
Romans 1:24-32 NLT
“…They traded the truth about God for a lie… That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other… And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved… Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done…They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.”
We’re already seeing all these things that Paul wrote about 2,000 years ago happening in our society today; however, this is just the beginning of the judgement. The Lord says, “Gird up yourselves, for there’s worse to come – spiritual bankruptcy, darkness, economic recessions, social and moral disintegration, political upheavals, natural disasters and war!” (Isaiah 29:9-16; Ephesians 4:17-19).
The Lord’s judgement of Britain’s fundamental sin has begun
By crying “Repent, Britain,” the Lord is issuing an urgent invitation to the Church and people of Britain, not just to feel remorse or say sorry, but to turn around and reorient our thinking, philosophies and ideologies, values, behaviours and practices, in realignment with his worship, Word, ways and Kingdom.
There is an urgent need for immediate, deep and sincere repentance, and this is why we need to petition God for a fresh move of his Holy Spirit upon the Church, to bring us to a place of brokenness, humility and supplication. As people encounter the holiness of God in the person of the Holy Spirit, many will be brought to their knees in repentance and supplication (Jonah 3:5-10; Zechariah 12:10-14; John 16:8-11; Acts 2:37-38)
The Lord says that his judgement on Britain is no longer imminent, it is already here and has only just begun! However, the onus is not on the Lord to relent; it is on the Church and people of this nation to repent and turn from their wicked and evil ways. We must turn back to God, acknowledge our sins and ask for forgiveness; we must acknowledge God for who he is and give him his due honour, by worshipping him and walking in his Word and ways (2 Chronicles 7:14; Joel 2:12-17).
“There’s worse to come – spiritual bankruptcy, darkness, economic recessions, social and moral disintegration, political upheavals, natural disasters and war”
