A New Sound

A New Sound
What is that unique sound that God is calling us to make, what is that sound that you in rugby are already making? A very English sound. We are confused as English men and women as to who we are….what is the true sound of England? Even as you were worshipping now there was a sense of a sound being made that is uniquely English…
It’s a privilege to be here, to hear something of that truly English sound that is beginning to rise up from you.
Mums and Dads
Rugby is blessed with many mums and dads – we have many guardians but not many mums and dads.
Rugby is a safe place for the people of God to come. People who have been pushing and holding through for the deeper things of God…those who have gone to the edge need those places to come back to where they know they are safe. A place where they can refocus on the sounds that we need to hear and soak ourselves in so we don’t loose our sense of identity of who we are in God…
Mums and dads are safe people – often they don’t have a lot to say but that’s OK. I had a sense that it won’t be in your many words that people are attracted to but by the sound that you are making – they will know that this is a safe place to hang out, to be. There will be a sense of sacred space amongst you that won’t be filled with many words or great ministry sessions or great prophesies or ministries but it will be safe.
Fear of the Lord
I don’t prophesy this usually but I do see large gatherings in Rugby but there will be a different sound about them and they won’t be imported in. The fear of the Lord will be so strong amongst you that nobody will have to fill that sacred space that is there. There will be incredible authority here – diversity but incredible authority that won’t need to be exercised with strong words but just through the presence of many mums and dads.
Angels
I want to say that …I’ve never seen angels, I’ve known them… Stephen (Homer) said 32 years ago, approximately, he saw an angel (in the building) and I have this strange thought that angels too will gather here because they’ve lost touch with the sound that people are meant to make in this nation.
“What is this sound?” I hear them saying, “We don’t understand the sounds that are being made where we’ve been commissioned to be. We’ve got to go and hear the sound again.
I had this sense that there will be an engagement with the angelic realm here that will be very strong and you will begin to get understanding on how the angelic realm operates. You can even hear from my limited words that basically we don’t have a clue how the angelic realm works but we’ve got to get understanding on it because so much of scripture is birthed out of the realm of angels. So, we have to learn to birth things out of the angelic realm where there is a sense of heaven being un-opened and the angels of God ascending and descending, ascending and descending.
I don’t have a clue how you are to pursue this except that there is a sound emerging among you that you must be confident of and there will be a new sound added to it. But there is a sound already being made here – that has also been made in yester year that is allowing the manifestation of angels. We need the manifestation of angels! What a unique gift to have!!
Open Heavens
We see all sound being made and we think, “that’s how to do it” and we feel we must have that sound but heaven and earth only connect when there is that unique sound – and that sound must come through and then you know that something is opening up, something is shifting and changing. There is an access to heaven, in prayer, that wasn’t there before…we haven’t known enough of those moments but somehow the frequency of those moments is increasing.
Distribution Centre
What a good thing to distribute!! Rugby, the distribution centre – we’re going to distribute a few angels, that’s great, isn’t it? Angels have lost their way, they don’t where to go – “Oh, we’ll go to Rugby” – Why? “Because there is a sound we understand in Rugby.”
We can get clued into these peculiar people in England who are so mixed up in their understanding of nationhood – they try to be this, they try to be that but there is a distinct sound that is being made in our nation – it’s the sound of mums and dads and laughter and life and children and parents together and household and family extended in all peculiar ways. A sound of heaven being made and heard.
Home…
Many tourists would say in coming to England – it’s the “homeliness” – it’s the sense of “home” that many are looking for, almost on a pilgrimage of their own – particularly from those from the States. It’s a very homely sound, my Father, that you have given us as a nation to bring to other nations – that sense of safety, security, well being – “all is well with my soul” – “all is well with my soul”. There are so many good people in this world who are troubled in their soul – “all is well with my soul”, – “all is well with my soul – I’ve been to Rugby – all is well with my soul!!”
Steve’s Prayer
We thank You, my Father for that peculiar deposit that is in the soil of this town. We honour you for those already gathered here and we honour you for those things that You have yet to do – that nothing indeed is too difficult for You….
I ask that You would increase the flow of connection here that is between earth and heaven and heaven and earth. I want to thank you that many will come to this town and as they come they will be able to say and sense and know in their hearts…that something is different, something has changed, something is different.
Father, I ask…not only for that wonderful sense of well-being that there is when Your presence draws near but across the town, in the council chambers and across the schools. We’re asking…that You would do this town good, that You would bless those who carry the good things of this town in their hearts.
I’m asking for those who have lost their way with You, even tonight, that a fresh sound will be heard that they would know that there is a place that they can come back to – a place of refuge, a place of knowing that there is a God who knows them through and through yet loves them fully, wholly, unreservedly…
Come breath of God
We welcome the angels of heaven and we ask for a fresh manifestation in our own lives and the lives of the church across the city. We are asking for a fresh revelation to come from the realm of heaven and from all the layers of Your presence…that there would be those in this room who would understand what it means to be in the third heaven.
Father, I’m asking You for new measures, new measures of faith, of Your presence. NEW, NEW, NEW MEASURES!
