I believe that the revival people have been prophesying for the UK has begun.

Through the ministry of Jerame Nelson, a revival has been going on in San Diego, USA since January 2016. In June, the Lord told Jerame to go to England, so he phoned Rakesh & Preethy Kurian, the pastors of Capstone Church, Ilford to ask if he could host meetings for the following week. The meetings began June 27th, and the Glory of God came to Capstone. The meetings have been held Wednesday to Saturday ever since, and thousands have watched the meetings on Livestream and Facebook. Why did God choose to visit Capstone, a largely Asian church in out of the way Ilford? There are of course many reasons why God visits a church, but in my opinion Capstone has two pastors who are honouring and who are passionate for revival. It has a wonderful worship team who brings one into the Presence of God and a congregation who are full of love, passion and hunger for more of God. Rakesh and Preethy Kurian were born again in a revival in India and God called them to the UK in 2005. Since then they have had just one thing on their minds – Revival.

Worship is a very important part of the meetings. The weighty Presence of God results in many people being ‘slain in the Spirit’ and other manifestations of God’s love are many people laughing in the Spirit and people being healed. There have been a number of testimonies of changed lives and increased giftings as a result of attending the meetings and through watching on social media.

I asked Preethy what they felt God had been doing these last 16 weeks and what they believe God has in store for the immediate future. This was her reply:

“The London Awakening has been an outpouring of God’s glory and manifested weighty presence. People from all over the country and even abroad have been visiting Capstone Church since the end of June. We have people viewing on social media from around the world. It’s been amazing! People are encountering God, getting set free, healed, and committing their lives to the Lord. We see people getting refreshed, supernaturally ignited and taking the fire back to their homes and churches. We are truly humbled and honoured by what God is doing.

I believe God is looking to invade our time and space to reveal Himself to us. Every move of God results in a revelation of God. I believe God is looking for a place that will host His presence, a house for His abode, where His children can come in and encounter Him, get filled with His glory and purpose and carry the glory of God into their spheres. What we are doing here is simply hosting His presence. His presence indicates that He is looking to move in this nation and He is looking for fire catchers and carriers. He is looking for a new wine skin to host His new wine.”

In my opinion we have a ‘fire’ burning in London; where the Presence of God is being hosted. The Presence of God is what this ‘revival’ is all about. The more time we spend with God, the more we will be carriers of His Presence and, as we go out into the world, people will be impacted by what we carry. It is important that as many people as possible visit the ‘fire’ and take away what God is offering there.

A pastor recently came from Preston and took the ‘fire back to his church, which caught ‘fire’ and they been having two extra meetings a week ever since. Another example is the leader of the UK Four Square group of churches who has been several times to Capstone church and he is now taking the ‘fire’ wherever he goes and he has started ‘revival’ meetings in his church. This proves the ‘fire’ is transferable and contagious. This is tangible evidence that time in a Holy Spirit charged atmosphere can result in transference and release of new levels of anointing. Transformed lives will transform communities, which will transform cities, which will transform nations.

Come and catch the revival fires.
