Report on Temple Balsall Assignment - 22 Aug 2005
Twelve of us from different areas of Warwickshire (Rugby, Warwick, Solihull and Coventry) met in the car park at Temple Balsall in the early evening. Temple Balsall is not so much a village as a group of buildings - a church (St Mary the Virgin), almshouses, some of which were originally the Knights Templar Hall, and a Masters Lodge. There is also a primary school nearby.
The evening was lit by late sunshine after a very rainy day. We began by exchanging some research details we had regarding the characteristics and actions of the Knights Templar. We were astounded once again at their activities under the guise of “Christianity” and how many Christian emblems and symbols they had perverted and for what hideous purposes.
We soon however focussed on the Lord of Lords and King of Kings and began a time of worship (with guitars and shofars). This was truly wonderful as we felt the Lord draw near as we raised the name of Jesus over the area declaring that there was “None Other”, along with many other truths from scripture.
We then shared bread and wine in an informal but meaningful way, praying for each other and asking for clarity in revelation from the Holy Spirit.
We repented identificationally for what had gone on, on this piece of land.
During this time it was noted that a car came into the previously deserted car park. A man with a brush and shovel got out and proceeded to a small wooden bus stop (the rural kind) on the other side of the road. He used the brush and shovel to clear up some rubbish in the bus stop and then immediately drove away again. We were encouraged to see this as a sign that we were engaged in “cleaning up”!
We made our way as a group to the almshouses whose interiors still had some of the beams of the original Hall of the Knights Templar. Here we agreed together to renounce and break several curses and false covenants made by the Templars. We used words from a relevant book written by Yvonne Kitchen. At this point we also read from 1 John 2 vv 18 -20.
We asked the Holy Spirit to come and fill any vacuum created on breaking and renouncing the curses. We asked him to replace curse with blessing and that the area should be
redeemed as a place where people are led in the truth of Christ and even become a place of revival.
We also prayed that God would claim the land and declared a transfer of ownership from the Kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God.
At this point that we saw a flock of geese flying in V formation against the glow of the evening sky, honking as they went. It was a truly uplifting experience and again we felt that the Lord was encouraging us. see www.members.aol.com/CuttyhunkRose/geese.htm
We took some of the bread and wine and distributed this around these particular almshouses. One of the perversions of the Knights Templar was to incorporate the words “hidden manna” in their false covenants – we were now distributing the “bread of life”.
Following this we tried to discern connections between Temple Balsall and the motto under the coat of arms of the city of Coventry. This reads “Camera Principis” which is usually translated as “The Prince’s Chamber” or as some others have it, “The Treasure of the Prince” or even “The Hidden Treasure of the Prince”. The prince mentioned here is thought to be The Black Prince, son of Edward the Third. The Black Prince lived from 1330 to 1376. The Knights Templar were forced to disband from 1312 to be replaced by the Knights Hospitallers (who carried on in much the same way??)
On the website on Coventry (www.coventry.historians.co.uk/cityarms.htm) it is said that the Black Prince owned part of Coventry (Manor House - now a registry - in the city on the south side, at Cheylesmore. It belonged to the Prince’s grandmother and was passed on to him)
One thing that drew our attention was the black mountain cat placed over the closed helm (helmet) on the coat of arms. This is described as meaning watchfulness. (we believed it was linked to witchcraft and later cut off all links with that spirit) We later observed similar edifices of cats on the outside wall of the church when we went round it to pray and again distribute bread and wine. (The church was built by the Hospitallers sometime after 1312 and restored in 1670 by Katherine Leveson, after whom the almshouses are named).
At this point we read from Isaiah 45
We decided the thing to do was to pray and declare a transference of wealth from the enemy ‘s secret place to the Kingdom of Light to further the purposes of God in the area and county – especially in the towns whose destiny is in pioneering economic growth in the nation (as mentioned at the Warwickshire Distinct Sound event in Coventry on 4 June this year)
We also declared that it was a time for exposure and uncovering; that the corrupt practises in local government and businesses be exposed and for God to pour His light into those places.
To end with we prayed about the Leveson Centre situated here in one part of the almshouse complex. As far as we are informed this is to do with studies in Christianity and Ageing. We prayed that God’s purposes to be fulfilled in this place
As we passed the school we asked for God’s blessing and protection on the children there and again poured out wine.
