Manchester's Debra Green, has been a strong prophetic voice for the 24-7 movement in the past few years as well as encouraging those taking part in 24-7 mission training. Now she has an uplifting prophetic word for the UK and other nations to pray about at this time. Part of this came out of her time at the recent 24-7 festival for mission, Transmission.

Debra says in her regular City Links email:

 

"At Easter during my time at Spring Harvest I received a vision which I now feel I should share more widely. The second part of this came this weekend when I was at the Transmission 24-7 prayer missions conference in Harpenden.

 

Firstly, I saw a vision of Jesus carrying the cross to Golgotha and Simon from Cyrene being called out to carry the cross for part of the journey. In my vision I felt as though I was there watching him carry his cross and instead of Simon being called to carry the cross, I was quite amazed to see that it was our nation. The Holy Spirit said "it is time to step out and carry the cross of Jesus for all to see. To not be ashamed to make him known, to speak of him, to own his name and to carry the cross into the nations of this world."  

This vision shook me to the core. I could not ignore it's strength or impact

On Thursday July 7 I travelled down to just north of London to the Transmission conference. All the motorway signs flashed up "avoid London" and I was listening to the news on the radio.

During the evening I saw a vision of the Olympic torch being carried around the stadium in 2012. I heard the Holy Spirit say "the setting is London but the call is to every believer in this land to awake and arise, to put on your running shoes and carry my torch. The nations are watching and they will see the light."

There is now a season of 7 years to prepare and pray leading up to 2012. I saw that there would be an increase in the size and impact of our individual lights, tee lights would become flaming torches over this 7 year period. The torches would be visible and not hidden in our churches. There would also be an increase in the corporate anointing on our nation to recover its destiny and responsibility."

Scriptures: Matthew 27:32, Isaiah 52:1, Isaiah 60;1, Hebrews 12:1-3.   

 

Debra and her husband Frank have recently published a book called 'City-Changing Prayer'. If you want to get inspired to pray for your town or city CLICK HERE to buy it! Here's what it's all about.... Imagine a regular city-wide gathering of Christians united and focused in prayer. Imagine a church that serves local institutions, and asks nothing in return. Imagine the crime rate falling; teenagers praying; people beginning to believe that there’s something in this thing called prayer. Frank and Debra Green have seen all this and more over the 10 years since they started to bring together Christians who occupy different churches but the same city. Along the way they have learnt gold-dust lessons about how to foster mutual trust and spiritual fruitfulness, overcoming the obstacles both inside and outside the church family.
