Just the two of us, Peter and I , set off for Copenhagen on Thursday late afternoon. Met at Kastrup Airport by a lovely lady called Pernilla, we were whisked away to meet Pastors Stan and Ruth McCuien, our blessed and wonderful hosts. We went, as always, with high expectations if only because every trip seems to have been met with a fresh and stronger anointing this year. This was our 24th booked trip so far in 2010 and little did we know how much blessing we would receive and how much blessing we would be able to give as we started by sharing a meal with Pastors Stan & Ruth.
We even started with a free morning of fellowship with our hosts before going off to see our old friend René in the Arken Café where he had gathered some friends and visitors for an afternoon of fellowship and prophecy. One gentleman saw the flag outside and, thinking it was a party, joined us – and he stayed to hear everything. Our friends Jens & Lotte from Mon also drove up to join us at the café – but more on them later. The opening statement by another brother, “You don’t have to be a big church to do a big work for God”, set the scene. Peter added that “God is not interested in how many sheep you have – only in how much you love them.” Peter went on to talk about Matthew 16:13 “ . . . . . who do you say that I am? You are the Christ – the Son of the living God.” He asked this “I hear you asking for revival but where are your tears? Where is your desperation.” Then an odd thing happened – Peter received a Word of Prophecy for himself from one of those present. This is unusual because how often does a prophet receive prophecy and how often does a Pastor receive counsel?? This word was about Peters own anointing and the restoration of a part that was long since laid down being picked up with more power than ever before.
In the evening we returned to our hosts church to meet with the leadership and worship teams for fellowship and a meal together. Peter once again spoke on Matthew 13:16 He commented that people say they cannot hear the Holy Spirit yet they can hear everything the demonic world throws at them. He prophesied that Holland will lead the way in European revival. He prophesied about the importance to revival in Denmark of Stan & Ruth’s church (Gospel Church International). He also spoke of “Revival in the Philippines would be something like a cloud passing over the sun as a sovereign move of God comes to that land.”
At 11a.m. on Saturday we set off for Mon driven by our new friend Pernilla. We were actually headed for Bogo, the next island to Mon, where the new pizza café, that Peter had promised to attend, was opening. The place was packed from 13:00 when it opened until it closed and they were blessed with a wonderful first day with people from all over the island coming along to sample their wares. It was an excellent way to start our day too. Next we went back to Stege on Mon to meet a lovely Greenlandic lady called Maren and this was a powerful time of prophecy and confirmation for Peter of his call to Greenland. All of this was followed by Peter going to minister to a local family in Stege, while I went with our Saturday hosts, Jens & Lotte Neilsen, for an evening of wonderful fellowship. We stayed overnight with Jens & Lotte and their family.
On Sunday morning, In Jens & Lotte’s church, Peter spoke about “Holy Fire” ! The Lord is saying that He is coming ‘soon’ and that He is releasing people; setting them free from their contract with the enemy; burning the contracts in His Holy Fire. Quoting Amos 3:7, Peter made this powerful comment – “Oh for a prophet to shake the church out of its lukewarmness into being either HOT or COLD. It would be better for us to give up Christianity altogether rather than to stay Lukewarm. We do not need another prophet who tickles the ears, nor one who wants to please his listeners, but one who will prepare the whole church for judgement and to become the Bride of Christ. One to make the church ready for revival as there will be no more renewal.”
Following the morning meeting we dashed back to Copenhagen for the 14:30 meeting at with Pastor Stan. What followed was, for me, one of the most anointed and powerful meetings I have ever experienced. Praise and Worship was led by a lady called Brina aided by Suzanna and Linnia(?). Then Suzanna and two young girls danced for the Lord – oh wow. What an anointing which grew heavier and heavier as time passed until Brina couldn’t sing any longer – she was just lost in worship and adoration of her Lord. Pastor Stan kept it all going with one of their own songs “It is Jesus” and he eventually called Peter who kept the song going even longer. The anointing was incredible as Peter announced, “There is healing here. Why wait to the end when you can receive your healing right now?” Bodies everywhere . Peter moved to the piano where a new anointing hit him and he played in the Spirit for a while, even giving us “a love song from the Lord for all of us here”. He called for those who wanted a ‘double portion’ to come forward and more bodies – some helpless with laughter.
Eventually we all moved back to our seats and Peter spoke very briefly on Joshua 24:14-15 ending with “ . . . . . . as for me and my house – we will serve the Lord.” Nearly every person present raised their hand in agreement to this verse. He closed with a prophecy for the church saying that “this church will be a facilitator of revival for Denmark because of the hearts and lives of the Pastors.” Wow – what a meeting. What a blessed time.
In the evening we visited a local couple and spent 5 hours of warm and loving fellowship with them.
On Monday around noon, we went to bless a café in central Copenhagen owned by one of the congregation. In the afternoon, some of the younger generation at Gospel Church came round to join us at the pastors apartment. Another good friend Carsten from another local church also joined us. We had a time of wonderful fellowship and Peter got much more than he bargained for when he called upon each one present in turn to prophesy to him personally. Suffice it to say that, for Peter, a time of repentance and renewed promise followed. He also received a very powerful word about his own anointing and calling.
In the evening we went back to the couple we met on Sunday who had invited another couple round for fellowship. Once again there was a powerful sense of the presence of the Lord and lives were changed. Another good connection was made here into a whole new community of believers we didn’t even know existed. I am sure there will be more on this connection in future.
Tuesday saw us dodging the rain on our journey back to Kastrup Airport as Stan blessed us on our way home. There is much that also happened which cannot be recorded here for the sake of privacy alone. However, two phone calls received by Peter could have opened up doors we could only ever have dreamed about until now. Enough said.
Hallelujah – a wonderful trip. So powerfully anointed it nearly took our breath away. So many were blessed and so many were a blessing to us. Thank you Lord.
