Now the Houses of Parliament were
not far from where the 300 Christians had gathered. During the evening the Lord told the pastor
to go to the Houses of Parliament and he would hear something to encourage him
and help him overcome his fear.
Now the people in Parliament had
become strong in opposing God and his ways, aided by the forces of evil which
had congregated there in great numbers. They continued to pass laws that were
opposed to the will of God and which were very bad for the land. The pastor arrived in the Central Lobby just
as a man was telling his friend his dream. The pastor overheard their conversation.
‘I had a dream that a huge
fireball hit the middle of the chamber of the lower House of Parliament scattering us all and
setting fire to the building.’
His friend who was a wise man responded,
‘That sounds like God is going to bring judgement on this house for all the
wicked laws we have passed and all the evil things that have happened
here. We have not listened to Him. The Christians
are going to get victory in this place.
The hand of the Lord is with them.’
When the pastor heard this, he
went away rejoicing and praising God. He
returned to the 300 and said, ‘Get up. God
is giving the powers of darkness that rule over this land into our hands.’
So they got up and went to the
Houses of Parliament. The pastor divided his 300 people into four groups, each
with a candle in a jam jar, a piece of cloth soaked in paraffin and the word of
God in their hands. He gave each group
some proclamations to declare.
The groups went and surrounded the
Houses of Parliament. One group went up
onto Westminster Bridge and surrounded the Clock Tower called Big Ben. One group went along side the railings by
Westminster Hall and another went and surrounded the far end of the
building. Finally one group was given permission
to go into Old Palace Yard because they said they were Christians come to pray
for the government. The police did not think they would cause much trouble as
it was evening time and although there was an important debate going on, they
reckoned they were only Christians and what trouble could they cause?
At a prearranged time, the pastor
sent a simultaneous message to all 300 mobile phones. There was a ringing
and bleeping and musical tones which was very unnerving for the police and any
unfortunate person in the vicinity. This
was nothing compared to the noise that erupted at that moment. Everyone of the 300 shouted at the top of
their voices ‘For the Lord Jesus Christ and Britain.’ They put their paraffin soaked cloths into
the jam jars and smashed the jam jars on the ground and caused hundreds of small
fires. They then, with one loud voice,
proclaimed the goodness of God and his justice and righteousness in the
land.
Everyone in the debating chambers
was terrified, believing the House of Parliament to be under attack. They
shouted for the security guards to come to protect them. They rushed into the chamber and assured the
house that it was only Christians causing a commotion and those in Old Palace
Yard were ejected by the police.
Then the Member of Parliament who
had had the dream asked to tell it to the House. He told them about the
fireball hitting the chamber and how he felt it was the judgement of God for
all the evil laws they had passed. The
members of Parliament were frightened and their eyes opened to the possibility
that they had offended God with their wicked ways and passing of godless
laws. They fell on their knees in
repentance and asked the chaplain to pray for them all.
Meanwhile the powers of evil that
ruled over Parliament were terrified at the Christian commotion. They turned on
one another believing an even bigger demonic hoard was attacking them. They put each other to the sword and those
that were left fled to go to their home place or to find somewhere quieter to
inhabit and possess.
The Christians meanwhile turned
their proclamations into intercession for God to be merciful to their
government and to the people of the land.
