Sorry for the confusing thread title :)
Some of this may sound a bit weird, but I'm just going to post about what I've been thinking about and watching and reading over the past couple of days.
First of all GOD TV. My folks get the satellite TV with lots of Christian stations, including EWTN the Catholic TV station. It's well worth getting if you consider that there is nothing else to watch on secular TV. The stations are free to get, once you have bought the satellite dish and it's been tuned in etc.
Anyway, back to GOD TV. I was watching this the other day and it had a segment with a man and a woman who turned out to be Wendy and Rory who started the station. Wendy was praying especially for Britain on this segment as she felt that it was under attack, and that the weather was somehow connected to the occult and Harry Potter. Yes, you can scoff, but I wondered....
Of course, this weekend is the launch of the new Harry book and it has seen some of the worst weather Britain has seen in YEARS. Coincidence? Maybe....
We've just been battered here in New Zealand about a week and a half ago by foul weather - the worst in 100 years some say. I looked up the date and it was the 11th of July - the release date of the new Harry Potter movie. You will say I'm crazy for saying there is some connection between the two, so I'm not going to say anything apart from calling the dates to your attention.
I tried to find more about what Wendy said about it on the GOD TV site, but I couldn't see it. I DID see this prophesy that she made on 19th July 2006 - almost exactly a year ago. I don't know whether my fellow Christians on here believe in prophesy - I do; it says in the Bible -
Anyway, it is up to you I guess as to what you believe, and time will surely tell.
Her prophesy though, is full of hope. She speaks of seeing Britain being bound with humanism and secularism, and the Lion of Britain being weak and sick but that God is going to rise up his Saints because of the prayers of believers and Britain will be a Christian country again, not only in name but in deed and that the Lion of Britain will roar again.
Perhaps it does sound a bit Arthurian, but I tell you it did my heart good to read it. Often I go to abidingtruth.com to see what is happening in the news and it makes very depressing reading most days.
It is good to feel that positive things are going to happen; not all is hopeless and that God's hands are never tied. We all know that God has already won and Satan will be defeated in the end - it's a foregone conclusion.
Keep on praying. I know that I don't pray enough, but prayer is so powerful.

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. - Acts2:16-18
