Rainbow Ranch | One Accord UK International

We had lived in the house which was semi derelict and did work on it . It had an upper room over the stable as a prayer room and a downstairs room for meetings but it deteriorated as the Landlord hadn’t done work, he was meant to and we had to leave as it was being sold. The sale fell through after we left.

We didn’t know where we were to go but had agreed if the house was sold we would leave as soon as we could as we did not want to block the sale so we handed the key back ready to shut the house up in the morning not sure where we would go. Homeless again.

We had hired a van to move the furniture out. I had previously spent time praying in the highlands of Scotland but the Lord never allowed me to go up to the top of the Sutherland/Caithness area where the vision he gave of the white horse breaking the gate related to.

We did cleaning etc to support ourselves.  This was our 5th move which had been financially draining. We were also hit by a speeding car which knocked us across a crossroads as things seemed to be settling down and this had caused further problems so we were really weary of being in survival mode by then.

We had checked on the map to pinpoint the place where the gateway in the vision was in the north of Scotland. Paul kept saying to me the priest stepped in the water and it opened up. As I prayed the Lord reminded me of an area of land for sale in the settlement the gateway was in and we arranged to view it. The Lord said go and prophetically pray and do what you saw the white horse do. We were tired but felt a sense of adventure as God was leading us step by step. We checked we could hire the van for longer and set off.

 On the way up we got a phone call to say the land had been sold. We knew it was to discourage us and that we had been given a mission to do so continued stopping to rest en route when Paul needed to. When we got there early in the morning the view was stunning and we parked up to look around. There was a fishing station with a building for sale next to it. The nets were washed dried folded and ready to go. I sensed the Lord say you are going into a new season get ready to go fishing again. I love sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his healing power that brings fresh hope to people and changes them. The focus has been more on intercession for our nations asking God to turn the nation around for a while but God had said there would be a harvest and that at the end of this battle I would see many come to Jesus. Many battles are played out in our everyday lives as the enemy seeks to discourage and distract us from praying believing that God will answer our prayers.

 Nehemiah 4 v 14 says "and I looked and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders and the rest of the people, do not be afraid of them.  Remember the Lord, great and awesome, fight for your brethren your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses." For over 30 years I had prayed for revival realising that the only hope we had to halt the decline in the nation was a sovereign move of God that would change the nation and make it a better place for my family. They have not always understood the call on my life but I committed before God to stand in the gap until revival came and it has been hard as it has for many others.

God had given me a vision that pertained to revival breaking through in this area. We were tired not only from the long journey but from all the battles we had faced in the years before but God was encouraging us and I felt quite emotional to be finally standing in the place he showed me in the vision that has shaped my life for over 30 years.

Luke 5 when Jesus said Launch into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. Peters’ response was we have toiled all night and caught nothing nevertheless at your word I will let down the nets. They caught so many fish the net was breaking and they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them and both boats were filled so they started to sink. They were astonished at the number of fish.

Jesus said " Do not be afraid from now on you will now catch men" . We are inviting Gods people to partner with us believing for their area and many people have been given visions for this time and we seek to encourage them to go forward trusting the Lord.

Paul then looked over the cliff to the bay below as I don’t like heights. He saw there was a fishing boat tied up ready to go then he went back and said there were actually 2 boats. This reminded me again of Gods promise of a net breaking catch of people coming into the Kingdom and I sensed that right then I was exactly where God wanted me to be and he was confirming the things he had said to me long ago.

We went to the beach around the other side of the bay and I was asking the Lord if I had to take my wellies of to go in the water. The tide was coming in and my leg which hasn't worked properly since th he crashes sank in the sand beside an inlet and as I tried to pull it out, I fell in head first. Abi and Paul laughed and I think God did too.

After I came up the beach praying, I felt I was to pick up 5 stones all different. Then as I threw 1 stone in faith, I prayed God would deal with the giant over the nation of Scotland. We had a of sense of peace and headed back to the van to change and make food and a drink on the camping cooker before heading back south.

On the way home Paul was looking at another beach and suddenly understood what the Lord showed me about the waves on Dornoch beach years before. I was led to one of the many large boulders on the beach. I saw what I thought was a shiny pebble at the base but when I checked it was a buddha statue cemented deep down. I was unable to remove it so stood on its head and declared the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Lord then drew my attention to waves coming from different directions.  As I stood, he reminded me of when I did riding to music. It is based on military exercises and can involve galloping across the arena. The most important rule was to ensure you were in your place doing what you were meant to do. It was important to ensure you were in the right place rather than checking on other people. If someone is out of their place it could be dangerous.  As I looked at the waves, I saw the Lords army and as the waves came together, they rose up gaining power and momentum.

Paul saw as the waves came from different directions and broke as they came together. As we come with broken and contrite hearts for the nation before God there will be true unity and when we are in one accord that’s when the spirit will move in power. 

We got a phone call from one of our customers who offered us the use of the house we cleaned and checked on for them. We spent the winter in a high-end holiday home and believe the Lord knew how much we needed a warm quiet place to stay to recover a bit. I have had health problems since the crash and it has greatly affected what I can do which has hindered things going forward.

We had to be out by Easter weekend when the holiday season started and nothing else had opened up.

The Lord had previously given a picture of a horsebox being used for ministry.  We bid on eBay for cheap horseboxes and when we won the bid on one, I was very nervous. Having been right at the top of Scotland Paul had to go right to the south of England to collect the horsebox.  It would not start and the people were upset. It was late at night so Paul suggested he slept in the horsebox and they sorted it out in the morning. It turned out the wires were frayed and it needed fixed to make the right connection. This became our home for a long time.
