December 2014 Issue

A Strategic Prayer Movement For Such A Time As This

The Greatest

Need Of The

Church

We began this year, with us, at QUIVER,

clinging to hope and trust-ing that one

day soon, the wind of revival shall, as God the Father pours His Spirit afresh upon the Church and this land

again! So, this year, we have persevered, pressed on and continued praying and calling

upon women in the UK to rise up and pray. God has been faithful and we have seen much

happen with QUIVER this year. To God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, be all the glory,

honour, praise and thanksgiv-ing! Amen!

A few weeks ago, Jackie Magloire and I travelled to Wales to meet with Christine

Symonds on a two-day mission from the Lord. The details of our assignment was from Eze-

kiel 37, and I would like to share briefly about it, as it de-fined the Church in the UK’s

greatest need in these dire times

We arrived in Wales just after

5.00pm on the Friday, and spent most of that night study-ing the scriptures and praying.

Christine went to bed after 2.00am and Jackie and I contin-ued in prayer till about 3.30am.

Early the next morning, we

drove to one of the oldest Churches in Wales and the UK - St Illtud’s Church in Llantwit Major, South Wales. It is about

1500 years old, and the very first college in the UK, and had been built as a place for Prayer,

Learning and Missions. We dis-covered that Christ has been worshipped in this place for

over 1500 years, and that It was the Celtic saints who kept Christianity alive in Britain.

These saints were preachers who travelled by sea around the west of Britain and Brittany,

spreading the Christian faith! It was almost impossible to

believe that this old Church had once been a place that of-fered life to many, as its court-

yard is now a cemetery, filled with tombstones, and almost everywhere inside was covered

with memorials to the dead.

Yes, we were in Ezekiel’s ‘valley

of dry bones,’ and had been sent there by the Lord because it portrays the state of the

Church in the UK!

MY JOURNEY WITH QUIVER...

By Dorothy Solomon-Abanga (QUIVER Rep, South London)

M y journey with

Quiver began

on 7th Septem-ber 2013, at the Quiver Prayer

Training day. I remember

walking in a few minutes late, but

after settling down, I became so drawn at the depth of the teach-ing that Rev. Jennifer Wallace

delivered. She was teaching about knowing who we are in Christ and approaching the Lord in

confidence, as well as the different types of prayers. I knew it was the doing of the Lord, as I had had a burden to pray for the nation for

months.

Following from that day, I've been

imparted with a special grace to

pray for the United Kingdom for a

revival, and am currently a Quiver

Rep. To the glory of God and by

the leadership of Apostle and

team, my QUIVER group and I have been praying since 19th

March 2014. The scripture “seek

ye first the kingdom of God and

its righteousness and all others

will be added,” is gradually

“THE LAND

BETWEEN...”

By Christine Symonds (QUIVER Coordinator - Wales)

"....as soon as the Israel-ites got in the land be-tween...." – Numbers

11:1 Recently at a confer-

ence, there was an exhortation on this

passage. Since then the phrase "the land

between" has kept coming to mind. What has this to do with QUIVER Wales? These are my reflections.

In 2012 QUIVER burst in Wales. After years of waiting and hoping, many new

and seasoned intercessors responded to the QUIVER call. Each day brought a new contact or enquiry or request for information. It was a period of excite-

ment and enthusiasm. The phone line buzzed as one would tell another. At a bible day in mid-Wales the leader's di-

rective was that QUIVER was not to be shared (a valid directive as they knew little of QUIVER).

Father God did make opportunities - like in the "ladies" when addresses were

exchanged for later discussion. The QUIVER information had been translated into Welsh and one lady took it home to

proofread. It seemed as if we would in-crease with ease and on the surface all was encouraging.

Then, almost without warning a different atmosphere came into our groups. La-

dies just dropped out or became unob-tainable. All sorts of reasons were given and it was painful and a stormy period.

QUIVER Wales was now in the land be-tween. It was a time of discouragement with 80% of the ladies turning away from the QUIVER vision. Obviously

Almighty God does not need numbers (as Gideon found out), but as frail and human, we like to see full meetings.

This land between could have been a place of discouragement and the enemy

used many ploys to make it so. It did become a time to regroup and the new warrior army consisted of older ladies

often living in isolated places. Most pray-ing on their own and for decades and yet they experienced that "In the secret

Somehow in that land between our God started to put steel in our backbones. We began to grow and to tarry and

stand firm. Despite experiencing both physical and spiritual problems we did not lose hope. Rev Jennifer reminded us

Wales is coming out of the land be-tween. Churches (often small and insig-nificant) are erupting into outpourings,

healings and with a harvest of souls for the Kingdom. A short time ago Rev Jen-nifer, Jackie and I did battle for Wales on

the place where 1500 years ago a prayer school stood. I am sure that Rev Jennifer will share all so I will not mention more.

“This shall be a sign to

you: you shall eat this year such as grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from the same; also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. And the remnant who have escaped of the

house of Judah shall again take root down-ward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusa-lem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.” – 2 Kings 19:29-31

This was the word of the Lord to us

concerning Quiver. This third year has been very significant for Quiver and we have seen much fruit as God fulfilled His promise to us. God has also blessed us

with faithful partners and friends of Quiver. We are very grateful for your partnership and thank you so very much

for standing with us in prayer.

QUIVER: THE YEAR SO FAR! Quiver Monthly Prayer Meetings,

held on Saturday mornings, were a place where Quiver groups, reps, partners and friends met to pray and intercede on behalf of the UK. The meetings were

very effective but in order to spend more time together in prayer, this was changed to Quiver monthly prayer

nights. Quiver Monthly Prayer Nights at

Seven Kings Methodist Church. The first Prayer Night was held on 20 June 2014 and, praise God, these prayers nights

have been wonderful. God is raising worshippers and prayer leaders. Even when Quiver Leadership have been away

on mission, Quiver Prayer Partners led the Prayer Nights! The Lord has linked us with faithful people.

Quiver Prayer Focus: This is usually derived from what the Lord is saying at

our prayer meetings. We prayerfully go through these topics and allow the Spirit of God to lead us in praying through

them. They are sent out monthly to our Prayer Partners and are of great help in praying through specific topics.

Quiver Conference - Lunch With Linda Patton: “Enlarging Your

Territory" on March 2014: The day was a huge success. We had an awe-some and powerful time in the presence

of God. We prayed and interceded for

the UK and we marched on behalf of the

Church singing "The Church is marching on"! Our guest speaker was Linda Pat-ton whose message blessed us as she

encouraged us to de-clutter our lives to make room for expansion, taking every opportunity God gives us.

Glad Tidings Of Hope: Restoration Of Glory To England And The UK -

23rd August 2014: This was a gather-ing in response to a prophesy given at a church service in Accra-Ghana concern-

ing the UK. The Speaker was Rev. Prof. Enoch Immanuel A. Agbozo of Enoch Missions. Before the gathering took

place, Quiver declared three days of fasting and prayer. The outcome was that God met with us that day and

stirred up our spirits. We came to-gether as the Church in the UK and cried out "Revive us, Oh Lord, Restore

our lost heritage!" We thank God for what He did that day!

Mulberry House: October 2014 - Rev. Jennifer was invited to speak at the Ladies Night at Mulberry House. This

was new ground for QUIVER and her message greatly encouraged the women and was well received.

National Day of Prayer on 8th November 2014: - This was Quiver’s

response to the message of Glad Tidings of Hope for the United Kingdom, given on 23 August 2014. It was a clarion call

to all leaders, intercessors and prayer warriors to come together for a day of fasting, prayer and intercession for the

Church, Monarchy, Government and People of the United Kingdom. What a glorious day spent in the presence of

God! We had about seven hours of non-stop prayer, praise, worship, exhorta-tion, intercession and warfare for the Church, Monarchy, Government and

People of the United Kingdom. The Lord glorified His name in our midst, and showed us that He had accepted out

petitions. Indeed, Jesus Christ is King and Lord over the UK.

Finally, Quiver Mission to Wales on

14-15 November was very successful.

We are persuaded that He who began this good work is faithful to complete it.

manifesting in our team, and we bless

God for our association with QUIVER.

One thing I love about QUIVER is the

leadership’s total reliance on and

submission to the Spirit of God, regard-

ing every decision and event, and lead-

ing the group to do just that, and also

equipping and encouraging us to grow

in our spiritual walk.

The clarion call has been sounded,

QUIVER is a strategic prayer movement

for the 11th hour, it's a place to pray for

revival. I'll like to take this opportunity to invite all women in the UK to join

such a worthy course. One shall put to

flight a thousand, but two shall put to

flight ten thousand! Let the remnant rise

from their sleep and pray; that is the only way the Lord will heal the land.

Proverbs 24:11-12

Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who

weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man

according to his deeds? We were saved, so we can be used by

the Lord to save others. It's only when we humble ourselves and pray effec-tively and fervently, that the light will

shine again in this land. In conclusion, I will like to say that my

a ssociat ion w ith QUIVER has completely transformed my spiritual life, and hence, imparted the people

around me. I rise up everyday knowing that my partnership with QUIVER in itself makes me fulfil my contribution in

the kingdom. Therefore, I'll like to recommend QUIVER to the body of Christ.

After the wonderful time of praise and worship, we were led into prayers of

repentance by Rev Cobby Wallace. We prayed on behalf of the church in the nation that God would forgive us for

allowing the world to influence us and for the leaders that had deviated from the Word of God, leading the believers

astray. The Lord spoke to us as we prayed and told us to ‘come back and return’ to Him and that in His love and mercy He was willing to take us, His

Bride, back. Thank God for His love and mercy!

We moved from prayers of repentance into more praise and worship. One particular song stood out and inevitably

became the anthem for the day, ‘Jehovah is Your Name’, this song led us even deeper into the Lord’s presence as

we declared His great name and power “Mighty Warrior, Great in Battle, Jeho-vah is Your Name!”

Following shortly afterwards, Rev Jenni-fer Abigail began her powerful exhorta-

tion which came from Zech 3:3-5. In this scripture the Lord called Joshua out and symbolically took away his sins by

removing his filthy clothes and giving him new clothes. Rev Jennifer linked this to an experience she had on mis-sion this year, where the Lord revealed

to her the state of the church, the Bride, as filthy and not producing the ‘sweet smelling fragrance’ that She

ought to. Rev Jennifer shared that God was disgusted at the current state and that Judgment would ensue. However, if

the church was committed to turning away from her sins and iniquities the Lord would turn away his hand of judg-

ment. In relation to the UK, the Lord was saying that every true believer whether black or white, young or old,

had a part to play and had a responsibil-ity in bringing back the church to her God given state.

The next exhortation came from Rev. Danny Welbeck, who shared with us

the spiritual cause of the current state of the church. This exhortation was insightful, deep and at times over-

whelming as it gave us all a deeper un-derstanding of the plan the enemy had to derail the church and the alliance with human beings to cause the church

to fall. Rev Danny Welbeck shared how the enemy had influence in everything from the Government to the media to

completely eliminate the influence of

the Church in the UK. Hence why it

seemed the church had no voice when the laws of marriage where constitu-tionally changed this year. However, he

assured us that victory was ours in the Lord’s if we would fight on our knees in prayer and proclaim the pure Word of

God with courage. We then moved into a time of prayer for the Govern-ment, that the Lord would raise up

righteous MPs who could be bold and stand for what is right. I think I can con-fidently say that at this point all our hearts were filled with a burden, a pas-

sion and a desire to see the church in the UK arise and conquer!

The last two sessions were from Pastor Lydia and Pastor Cobby. Pastor Lydia talked on hope, that despite the current

state there was still hope in the Lord that things would change. Pastor Lydia led us into praying for the monarchy,

that God would turn the hearts of those who ruled the nation. Pastor Cobby led us into praying for the youth

of the UK, that God would contend with the evil forces that seek to op-press, suppress and lead the young peo-

ple astray. We prayed passionately for good leaders and role models who would be of influence in the media.

We ended this awesome day of prayer

and fasting by once again singing the song ‘Jehovah is Your Name’ with all our hands lifted up in worship. The Lord’s name was lifted up and we de-

clared Him as Lord and King over the UK. Only eternity will show what our prayers did in the spirit on November

8th 2014, but by God’s grace we will be here to see the Church, the Bride, turn back to Jesus and fulfill her purpose,

mission and mandate to establish God’s kingdom in the United Kingdom.

The Greatest Need Of

The Church (contd)

“And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O

Lord GOD, You know.”” – Eze 37:3

Can the dry bones live? Can the Church in the UK rise again?

“Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry

bones, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into

you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you;

and you shall live. Then you shall know that I Am the Lord.”’ – Eze 37:4-16

Yes, despite the seemingly impossible situation we are currently facing, nevertheless, at the Lord’s word, the

Church is coming together - bone to bone, sinews, flesh and skin. And we are grateful to God for that. However,

without the Breath, the Holy Spirit, the Church will remain lifeless.

“ Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD... So I prophesied as He commanded me,

and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an ex-

ceedingly great army.” – Eze 37:9-10

The greatest need of the Church in the UK is to experience a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the life-giving Breath

of God.

On the floor in St Iltud’s Church was an inscription, “Teach us your ways, O

Lord, and we shall walk in your truth.” I stood on that inscription and CRIED OUT to God to meet the Church’s greatest and most urgent need - A

FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Through His resurrec-tion power, Jesus, the TRUTH will be

revealed to us again and we will be set free to not only live in the Truth, we will also declare HIM!
