I thought of entitling this blog The Storm of The Lord. Part 3. But opted for a more sensational title (and photo🙂) to get your attention, because again, the confirmations I got from Father for this blog were so loud and clear!

Yesterday I was listening to the latest Johnny Enlow Prophetic Perspective, entitled ‘God’s Profit Plan’ when a text came in from Kim, our daughter in law, that the lamb chops at Costco were $6 off and today was the last day of the offer!!!

So I jumped into the car so as not to miss the deal!

I was at the half way mark of Johnny’s talk when I hit the pause button.

He had been speaking from Is. 48 and had also talked about President Trump’s 80th birthday coming next week. 8 is the number for ‘a new beginning’

When I got to the chops there were 8 packs left.

I bought all 8 – enough meat for 20 weeks ‘date nights’ 😃

Then driving home, the significance of the numbers occurred to me.

8 packs, each at a saving of $6 i.e. 8 x 6 = 48…..Wow!

Later that night we listened to the second half of the prophetic perspective. It was Johnny’s 67th birthday and he then focused on Psalm 67

You might remember the blog I did on March 14th about Ps. 67.

I would encourage you to reread my blog.

These two confirmations highlighted to me Father’s affirming and prioritizing Johnny’s challenging and encouraging message

You can watch and listen to it here…..

This may be the most watched clip of all by President Trump.

I pondered whether I should publish the last post or not, waiting for a confirming sign.

The next day we took in the rugged beauty of Fanad Head in the Gaeltacht. (Predominately Irish speaking area)

We stopped short of doing the Fanad lighthouse tour, settling instead for a cup of coffee at the cafe.

I sat on while Hilary went for a wander around the shop.

I noticed the felted picture on the wall opposite me of a ship in a storm and took a snap.

Theresa at the counter, was the matriarch of the whole operation.

A jolly joker she was gobsmacked by the way in which Hilary had been able to reinvent a ‘regular’ Aran sweater by dyeing it an attractive sea green!

“Oh! It fits you perfectly!’ ‘……’Go on spoil yourself!’ commented a couple of Dutch tourists as I tried on one of the shop’s Arans for myself.

Persuaded to purchase I chatted with Theresa asking for details of the advertised ‘Fanad Music and Culture Festival..’

It seemed the program was Theresa’s personal possession as she pulled it up on her phone and went over the events with me one by one.

‘So are you an Irish speaker yourself?” She asked.

‘Oh no’ I smiled.

Then later it occurred to me I did have an ‘O Ireland’ CD in the car.

‘Theresa’ I said. ‘I have to confess I wasn’t entirely honest with you. Tell me do you have a CD player ?’

‘Aye. I have two at home’

‘Well I would like to give you a gift. This is an album of my songs. And this second one is recorded first in English…… and then in Irish.”

Well she was as gobsmacked by this as with Hilary’s Aran.

‘For me? Really? ……and you wrote these songs? And this one’s in Irish? Oh I can’t wait to get home and listen to it. Thank you so so much.” She effused.

Returning home we went over our photos. I noticed in Hilary’s this one….

Somehow unbeknownst to me, she had also been prompted to take a photo of the very same felted picture of a ship in a storm at sea.

But beyond this ‘God-incidence’ it was the reflections on the glass that really got my attention.……

It seemed, taking the two photos in sequence, as if the ship was passing through a window, and that beyond the storm there was a bright grassy field.

This was the double witness I was looking for confirming the message I was being given in the last blog post.

A subsequent Juan O Savin interview entitled The Storm is Upon Us appeared with this picture……

Here is the link if you’d like to listen….

I have been reading Johnny Enlow’s commentary on The Book of Enoch.

It is clear that we are living in the time described in Chapter 1 verse 1

‘These are the words of the blessing of Enoch, with which he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed from the earth.”

‘So hold on to your seats (in Christ in heavenly places) and adopt (not the brace but) the grace position.’

Beyond the storm there will open up a beautifully bright future field🙂

Oh, and the artist?

Rodgers means ‘famous spear’

I was lead to this passage in Obadiah declaring both Christ’s (Christina) deliverance and judgement

‘But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame (or ‘head of a spear’), and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it……And deliverers shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
‭‭

Last Saturday I was lead to purchase a pie in the Avoca bakery in downtown Belfast. Avoca means, ‘little treasure.’

It was the box containing the pie with the rhyme, “Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie’ written on it that caught my attention.

I had just come from the Blackbird Cafe run by my friend Moses who a few years ago had been lead by God to move from Nigeria to Belfast.

Then he had been lead in Belfast to settle in a house in Gilnahirk….

And that house was just opposite the house where 50 years ago we teenagers had met weekly to pray that God would come and visit our land!!

The Blackbird cafe had been another leap of faith for Moses.

Located in one of the most infamous corners during the troubles it’s previous operators had given up.

Moses had asked for a chance to prove he could make it work, and by the grace of God – it was working…..winning the trust of locals and attracting the tourists who after their stop to be taught Irish history through the writing on the neighboring wall, would drop in to the Blackbird cafe for a cappuccino .

It was Moses who facilitated our gathering the next day as our little group responded to the White House declaring it should be a national day of jubilee for the USA.

The 50% price reduction (Jubilee number) on the box had influenced me to ‘clinch the deal’🙂

I produced the pie at the start of the gathering last Sunday pointing out that the number 24 represented -priesthood and that was why we were gathering as members of the ‘royal priesthood’ to intercede on behalf of our two nations – America…… and Ireland.

Later reading about the origins of the nursery rhyme I discovered it was a reference to King Henry shutting down the monasteries…..a source albeit imperfect, of prayer and worship.

The rhyme continues

The present prophetic interpretation dawned on me. From Psalm 2…

The ‘kings of the earth’ who have sought to shut down God’s royal priesthood are now being thwarted, for the time has come for God to make it clear that, “I have set my King (Jesus) on my holy hill’

….and set those who are his priestly representatives on earth at this time free singing their song of glorious triumph!.

We were beautifully lead by the Spirit as we shared and sang ‘the song of the Lord’ together. Eight (new beginnings) year old Zoe (life) closed out our evening as she taught us an ‘action’ chorus about Jesus shining though us to change the world.

The next morningj I rose early and went to Helen’s Bay for a swim. I have never seen the bay so calm. A few hours later we were walking at Seapark when a series of enormous waves such as I have never seen there before hit the shore.

Taken by surprise the hugest of these had passed before we thought to take a video. Here is what we recorded when the waves had subsided. You can hear Hilary exclaim, “What is going on?”

I returned home to discover this had been posted over the weekend by President Trump……..

(As a ‘God reporter’ rather than ‘Trump supporter’ I view this imperfect man as a wrecking ball appointed by God to expose and dismantle centuries of institutionalized evil)

It clearly signals a change of season ‘from calm to storm’ such as I experienced in the Belfast Lough this morning.

After the big waves rolled in, I looked at my watch. The time was 12:12.

12+12 = 24

Last Saturday we were 12 adults (+Zoe) After the meeting we gave Moses, Ezekiella and Zoe a ride to their new home. They have just moved there to begin the next season of their life and calling here. We discovered their new house number is 12

12+12= 24.

I believe in these ‘signs following’ Father was encouraging us, that as we gathered in response to his 2 Chron.7:14 invitation to humble ourselves and pray and seek his face and proclaim……Jesus King, of our lives and of both America and Ireland,

…..we were privileged to be participating in the major shift that is happening in the establishing of the kingdom of God on the earth in these days.

Anyhow, this is merely, for what it’s worth, my prophetic perspective.

The end of the story is for sure.

‘…….the TWENTY FOUR elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On the next blog I will describe the most spectacular ‘sign following’ I have ever experienced, confirming, for what it’s worth what I have just written.🙂

https://rumble.com/v79peyg-beekeepers-ufos-and-the-rededication-of-america-to-god-johnnys-prophetic-pe.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp

This Sunday the president of the United States of America will conduct a ceremony to rededicate the nation to God.

We have found Johnny Enlow to be a trusted voice with an excellent track record in these times of turmoil and uncertainty.

In this latest episode of his prophetic perspective linked above, he emphasizes in the first 35 minutes the importance of this rededication and elucidates the enormous significance of the recent visit of the British monarch to the White House and the symbolism associated with “The Beekeeper’ movie.

President Trump has read and identified with 1 Chronicles 7.14,

‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal there land.’

I had the privilege of going to London many years ago to sing on the recording of the musical by Jimmy and Carole Owens, If My People, a musical which took this message to thousands around the world.

Johnny also highlights the verse 2Ch..29;27 and how ‘the song of the Lord began with the Trump-ets” ….and that we should have an expectation for this at this time.

I am writing this blog from Gilnahirk. Gilnahirk is Irish for ‘the hill of the hornblower’. It was here many years ago that God gave me the song, Lord Jesus We Enthrone You……We proclaim you are King.’

Bob Jones prophesied to me, “I see you sounding a trumpet throughout the land.” That song has since circled the world with Jesus being proclaimed King in many, many nations.

Johnny describes how the British crown has through indebtedness illegitimately ruled over the USA. It seems God is now bringing resolution to this centuries old transgression.

Another prophetic voice we have come to respect and trust is Professor David Clements.

Here is the link to his journal giving another valuable overview of the spiritual and historical background and significance, to Sunday’s event.

https://professordavidclements.substack.com/p/the-two-conventions-the-importance?publication_id=1312253&post_id=197756638&r=526mh1&triedRedirect=true&ref=stonekingdom.org

In this act of rededication President Trump is affirming the battle cry of the American Revolutionary war, “No King but King Jesus.”

Hilary and I have been lead to become earthly citizens of both Britain and the USA. We hold two passports.This Sunday evening we will be singing that song again here at Gilnahirk, proclaiming Jesus, King of these two nations, as citizens and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God that is coming to the whole earth.

We invite anyone who is able and has a heart for this, to join us in worship, prayer and rededication this Sunday 17th May at 7.30 pm. Please email me and I will send you directions as to where it will take place..

Solomon’s prayer of dedication in 1 Chronicles 6 forms the basis for another song I was given. You can listen to it here….

Over the past few months we lost 3 close friends, and the world lost 3 good men.

A Good Man was written in honor of Pete Lundin a true American hero. Scott Stroud came to live with Pete and Sandy after coming to faith in prison, and we too are personally indebted to ‘realtor’ Sandy for matchmaking us with The Big Green House!

Pete’s discipleship helped Scott like many others he ‘fathered’ become an amazing asset in the kingdom of God. Scott’s song says it so eloquently.

If Pete was A Good Man, Brian was A True Friend.

When we moved to the USA despite Brian’s high profile public life, for example as a President of Irish Hockey, and of the Independant Insurance Brokers in the UK , he and Liz always made a point of remembering birthdays and seeing us when we were home to offer brilliant advice in areas where I lacked wisdom and know how and to keep us laughing with the best of Belfast humor😀 He was often 1st to open my latest blog….even if it was in the middle of his night!

For us, Brian was a true friend…….. integrity going the distance!

If Brian was A True Friend, John, was A Kindly Neighbor.

John lived 4 doors down and was a rough diamond, but with a heart of corn as the ducks would attest to swooping down to literally enjoy the corn he sprinkled on the snow for them in the midst of a harsh Minnesotan winter.

He would for example arrive at our house with a bike he had found and repaired for one of the grandkids. Then one day when he dislocated his shoulder he arrived……for me to fix it! Doctoring days far behind I did my best with the help of YouTube, but failed to reduce it.

‘We’ll just have to ask God to do it’ I said, laying my hand once more on his shoulder.

A few days later he returned waving his healed arm overhead!

I realized Father had given me a song for John years before his death which contained the line ‘a kindly neighbor’

Below is Ben’s recording of this song, ‘A Rising Sun’

https://benkyle.com/track/4225095/a-rising-sun

A few years ago a knock came to the door. It was again, our ‘kindly neighbor.‘

‘Look’ He said to me, pointing to the rainbow in the sky.

‘Do you know what that means?’

‘It’s God saying, “I will always love you.” ‘

John explained that although he had never learned to read himself, his mother used to read him Bible stories, including the story of Noah and the flood.

So at the funeral service, 2 of the 5 songs I shared were specially personalized by God for his beloved son, John!!

The Father’s Song from the last blog was also for him…..

Everyone’s beautiful in their time

It just takes time to prove

That the pleasure and pain

Like the sun and the rain

Make you part of my rainbow of love.

I received this song reflecting the story Jesus told of the loving Father and his 2 sons.

A friend unaware of this sent me the following link with a cryptic message “55 min”

I understood then that I’d received the song from the Father ……..particularly the last line whose wording I had labored over before settling on what you hear.

I then watched the full interview and realized why I had received it as we were sitting in the midst of a blizzard in Minnesota.🙂

After posting my running shirt number and the Cadillac license plate I got those messages from North Carolina today from our friend Sam Cox who ran the marathon with us,. 🙂

Paul,

I well remember the Twin Cities Marathon 2006, running through a bad injury that would ultimately require reconstructive surgery a year later. And, last month I turned 67! I was on a mission trip in Guatemala on my birthday (Feb 15) and the 7 students and 4 adults who we were with threw me a 67th birthday party.

Shalom,

Sam

P.S. A running buddy saw my picture and used AI to adapt it to finishing a marathon:

I forget to mention the 19 years, represents faith as in “those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.’

To listen, click on the arrow, then the x and then the arrow again🙂

In 2006 I ran (and prayed) what has been called “The most beautiful urban marathon in America’ – in the ‘Twin Cities’ of St Paul and Minneapolis with sons Ben and Joel.

The widely publicized events of recent months related to ‘fraud’ and to ICE in the Twin Cities, have made this place look anything but ‘beautiful’

My number then was 6712.

That running number has been taped to the cabinet in my study. Visible out of the corner of my eye for over 19 years.

Just before Christmas I stumbled across the 2025 ‘word of the year’ It wasn’t actually a word but two numbers. The ‘67’ craze that ‘went viral’ amongst young people didn’t seem to mean anything……it was just a cool thing to say. Some warned of its occult origins or connections.

I remembered my number, and how at the time Father had used it to point me to Ps.67 verses 1 and 2.

Subsequently I had fun teaching the visiting grandkids how to complete the cool ‘67’ with a cool ‘12’ ……and then together we would recite,

“May God be gracious to us and bless us

And make his face to shine upon us

That your ways may be known on earth.

Your salvation among all nations.”

I took my race number to a meeting of Twin Cities church leaders a few days later in case God would make a way for me to share.

There was a spirit of humility as we cried out to God on behalf of the Cities. One brother spoke of the the deposit of God’s ‘gold’ that was meant to be mined from here to enrich the world.

I was invited to share and so spoke of how, I had in 2006 run and prayed for the Cities. My number had hung there in front of me unnoticed for 19 years, until a few weeks earlier it had been brought to my attention because of 2025s ‘word of the year.

He impressed on me to say

‘Just as 67 was the word of the year for 2025

Ps.67 verses 1 and 2 will be the word of the year for 2026.“

On my way home I noticed the ‘gold’ crest of a Cadillac in front of me, then the number plate

Tay or Tav is the Hebrew character that represents ‘a sign’

In Revelation 22, the last chapter of the bible, Jesus final words are,

“ I am the aleph and tav.”

The song above is a prophetic prayer Ben offered up at our ‘double bill’ evening at Way of the Lord on 2/7.

It speaks of the ‘beautiful’ Twin Cities our Father has in mind – at the end.

‘O Minneapolis

I saw you and St.Paul kiss

Neath the moonlight in the Mississippi mist.

Never saw a thing as beautiful as this.

O Minneapolis.”

It snowed 2 inches again here last night, but the sun came out and very quickly things changed.

I snapped this on the sidewalk…

The penultimate verse in the Bible..…

“The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”
‭‭

In the meantime let us be his hands, his feet, his heart in our Cities.

Hebrews 2;16 describes the real ‘enemy’ currently at work in Minnesota.

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”

This is the central theme of The Big Green House documentary.

It captures a real life drama about what happens when ‘the kingdom of God’ and a ‘worldly’ bureaucracy collide.

Spoiler alert……God wins, as his “perfect love” casts out fear.

This double bill evening was scheduled before the current unrest arose in our city. I believe it is ‘for such a time as this.’

P.S. The documentary has, since the above poster was made, also been selected as a semi finalist in the Philadelphia International Film Festival and has won the “Best Short Documentary” award at the Cork Independant Film Frstival in Ireland.

Please come on the 7th ……and pass the word around.

Once again Minnesota has been brought to the attention of the whole world by 2 concurrent stories.

The FIRST story concerns the massive amount of fraud that has been uncovered.with dozens of people, mainly of Somali origin, being convicted in the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam,

Apparently Somali culture is not founded on biblical morality. Fraud and ‘piracy’ are’normal’ practices in that country, and so it is no surprise therefore that when transplanted into a different culture that has traditionally been Judeo-Christian this problem should arise

Compounding the problem is what is known locally as “Minnesota NICE.” where things can remain superficial, to avoid the conflict that comes with honest accountability.

More fraud surfaces by the day. This morning the Epoch Times reported

‘Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that a building in Minnesota, which used to be a linen factory, is housing 400 Medicaid-billing fraudulent businesses which collectively billed an estimated $380 million to Medicaid, ‘

The SECOND story, is the current administration’s resolve to deal with boarder security and the consequent heightened activity here of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE

This morning Barry wrote to us from England “Does it feel like you are back in Belfast in the ‘Troibles’?”

Our move to the US in 1994 from Belfast co-incided with the ‘Good Friday Peace Agreement’

I would say tongue in cheek to people here who made the connection,

‘Yes. Peace broke out there, either because they got rid of the troublemakers, or because our assignment was completed.’🙂

The year we moved to Minneapolis it seemed like we had jumped from the frying pan into the fire because murders in the city had soared earning it the nickname “Murderapolis”

We were lead to join in prayer with a group meeting in the heart of the troubled area. We could hear gunshots in the street outside. We prayed,

‘Lord, let Murderapolis become Mercyapolis.’

God answered our prayers The murder rate dropped.

Then there was the George Floyd storm, and now once again, even though in the last year murders are down 20% nationwide, Minneapolis has been made a focal point of violent division and discontent

This morning Matthew wrote to us from Scotland,

Good Morning Paul

I woke up this morning in pain as I read the news in Minnesota and how there seems to be so much conflict around the world between people.

I decided to worship Jesus and was drawn to your Song – Simply Jesus.

I am not sure what God is saying to me but I was moved to tears.

I believe he is saying that, simply Jesus is the ONLY answer.

Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭17 says

‘Sleet and hail fall from the sky, causing waters to freeze before winter’s icy blast.”

God knows exactly what is happening, demonstrating his power, and communicating to us through the elements. We are currently experiencing the coldest and iciest winter since moving here.

On Friday evening Ben and Kim, Hilary and I worshipped with Luke in his Anchor Fish and Chip restaurant, in the heart of the troubled area.

Once again at 32 13th Ave, we sang our appeal to our Father from Habakuk 3:2

‘Lord we have heard of your fame and we stand in awe of your deeds. Lord hear our prayer come renew them again in our day in our time make them known.

……..in judgement remember mercy’

Then Ben sang, “Let There Be Mercy”

Immediately Hilary’s face became ‘inflamed ‘

I believe it was the Lord pointing us to the next verse.

‘Then he speaks his word and it all melts away; as the warm spring winds blow, the streams begin to flow.”

Believing that “The best is yet to come”
