Whilst I have had no personal contact with Cliff and Monica (apart from prayer), their ministry and faithfulness has been remarkable.
I returned to the Lord in the early 1980s, following divorce and a breakdown. A couple of years later, I was at Colin Urquhart’s college near Horsham for three months. The teaching was sound and the worship was out of this world; but there was no pastoral or after-care.
Thus, when I was led to a new, called-out church, problems were inevitable. So a couple of years later, the Lord lead me out for my own protection. But thankfully, not before I had details of the results of that Conference at Carmel for all the prophets, in 1986.
It was David Noakes’ prophecy from there, which spoke loudly to me. And if 153 big fish, could believe it to be a word from God, then surely I too could hang on to this.
While I never subscribed to Prophecy Today magazine, because it was just so challenging; yet I found that I was usually at the bookshop to buy a copy. My files are full of pages extracted from there, especially the prophecies. But it was from here that I gained much knowledge and depth about the Bible.
Finally in October of 2009, I subscribed to Clifford’s State of the Nation CDs. I would share these with any who came to Bible-study in my home; but sadly most preferred not to listen.
In 2015, I was there in London for the launch of ‘Prophecy Today’ online. How challenging and inspiring to see all these high-profile people in the flesh! And every Friday I am eager to read the latest set of articles.
In retrospect – how grateful I am for their sound and consistent teaching. That and teaching from David Pawson and the articles in Barnabas Fund, has kept me grounded and hopefully prepared for persecution.
