These prophetic words have been brought to us as a Church, through Simon Braker.

Part 1 – The River and the Presence

I saw a river and people were brought to the church, being dragged along in the river – a lot of them.  They were being pulled out one after another, until there was a massive crowd.

All attention then turned to this crowd, and I heard it said ‘we need to make space for them’ (it seems to me that is what you are doing today).

It then shifted and I heard ‘let’s build over there away from the river’.

I heard the Lord say, ‘do not get so distracted by the crowd that you lose sight of the river that brougt them –  in all your busyness don’t neglect the priority of my presence’.

I then looked and saw a big ship waiting in the river.
There was only a small number on board.
I asked the Lord what is this?

The Lord said, ‘this is the apostolic call to the nation and nations that is on this Church.  This river is not just to bring people to you, but also to take you to the nations’.

Don’t get so focused on the local that you lose sight of the bigger picture.

What an exciting season you are in.

Psalm 23 says ‘He makes me lay down in the green pastures, by the quiet waters’.  I want to say you’re on the 23rd for a reason because the Lord wants you to live from his presence.

And then last night, (I’ve been in prophetic ministry for 30 years – I’ve never prophesied this or heard it prophesied anywhere) the Lord took me back to the river and I saw people being pulled out of the river.  The Lord said to me ‘Simon pay attention’.  I looked and noticed this – the vast majority of people being pulled out of the river were men; young men between the ages of 19 and about 35. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say ‘this Church will have an unusual revival in that you will see multitudes of men come to Christ.  The Spirit of the Lord said to me ‘there will be a men’s movement birthed out of this house’.  I saw armies of evangelists going out from this place and they had been drug addicts and bank robbers, they’d been criminals and the Spirit of the Lord says ‘those that have been terrors in the world will be world shakers in the Kingdom’.  You will see a movement of men coming out of this house.

Part 2 – Redeemed Streets

So, just while Martin was preaching, the Lord took me into a vision, and I saw derelict streets, broken fences, and derelict houses. I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak about the bigger vision and the greater purpose.

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this: ‘Church, I’m going to move you to the next phase, and the next phase is not just the redeeming of lives but the redeeming of land.’

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, ‘I’m not giving you a house, but I’m giving you houses. I’m not giving you houses, but I’m giving you streets.’

I stood on a street and saw the street sign. The street sign said ‘Redeemed Street’.

The Spirit of the Lord says, ‘I am going to release to you, Church, strategies that will bring about the restoration of derelict communities. These strategies will be blueprints that are not only contained here, but will spread to other parts of the nation.’

The Lord says, ‘I am going to bring out of you innovators and reformers who will transform derelict places and rebuild the broken walls.’

I saw new fences, new houses, and homeless people being rehomed. The Lord says, ‘You will restore desolate families, restore desolate lives, and even restore desolate land,’ says God.

The Lord says, ‘Watch in this next season as the economy of this region shifts, for I will bring you from the tail to the head,’ says the Lord.

The Spirit of the Lord says, ‘I am bringing businessmen and investors into this region. Even international companies will begin to invest in this area. There will be millionaires, and there will be billionaires who move into this area. Your property will become highly desired and highly valued, and you will be called the place of high favour,’ says the Lord.
