Tidal Surge Averted By Prayer Throughout The Nations.
November 12, 2007
Dear prayer warriors thankyou for your prayers, they were effective and powerful. Below is the prayer request sent out, and a report afterwards of what happened. We were saved by a hairs breadth, I beleive that this is true for us as a nation that has turned away from the foundational truths too. The Lord has had great mercy on us as righteous men women and children stood in the gap and cried out for the UK. Thankyou those of you in the states who prayed, as you have sown in love so we sow into you also, and all those who prayed throughout the nations, this is indeed testimony to the power of God invested within us as we join in prayer as one body. Every blessing and thankyou Heather. Wales UK.
Dear friends
we recieved news today of a large wave that is headed towards the east coast of the uk, its a tidal surge that is coming down from scotland, and its 3 metres high, plus the spring tides which will means that this wave is huge for these low lying areas. There was loss of life in the 1950's the last time that this happened, so loss of life is something very real.
I have prayed, and sought the face of the lord, and believe that there is power in agreement. I believe that we can stand in the gap and cry out for mercy.
As a nation we have done much that is not Godly.
\Many have joined us for prayer throughout the nations, seeing that judgement was coming, and I believe that many have been crying out in the midnight hours as we watched come to pass the forcasted flooding of the land, those who gave prophetic words concerning the flooding before it happened have seen the reality of that in our land this year.
. I believe that this current crisis will cause people to see again their vulnerability, many have no god they know to turn to, so we are praying for a turning to the one true God, that many would call upon his name for safety, we pray that the father will reveal himself to them in their hour of need. Lincolnshire, lowestoft, great yarmouth and other villages are at risk.
I have prayed that the wave will disipate, and have sung out over the land, crying out for the mercy of the Father that there will be no explanation for the sudden loss of the swell. The Father is a great God and we can come to him who is the creator and ask for these things he is the only one we can turn too, knowing that he is more than capable to act/ The next 48 hours are crucial for the east coast of the UK. Thankyou for your support and love of us here, we appreciate your prayer cover more than you can know.
I know that we can trust you to pray with us at this time.
Every blessing love in Jesus Heather.
TSUNAMI / FREAK WAVES / ABNORMAL TIDES / RISING SEA LEVELS -
Tidal surge 'devastation' averted by minutes - The tidal surge in Britain that forced the emergency services to evacuate more than 1,000 people from their homes and urge the residents of thousands of others to batten down the hatches, came within eight inches of engulfing the East Coast. The Environment Agency admitted that the region had been within a "hair's breadth" of disaster, and that it was only good fortune that averted a catastrophe. The FREAK surge striking East Anglia and Kent missed the high tide by minutes, allowing flood defences to hold out and protect thousands of homes. The agency said that if the waters had risen by a further eight inches, it would have caused "utter devastation". "We were a hair's breadth away from disaster, it really was that close." The tides along the coast were as high as they were in 1953, when a flood claimed the lives of 300 people. Not all towns and villages were spared, however. The brunt of the surge was borne by the Norfolk village of Walcott, 20 miles north of Great Yarmouth, where the flood defence wall crumbled under the pressure of water. Houses along a 300-yard stretch of seafront had their conservatories smashed to pieces and lawns torn up. Elsewhere windows were blown out and brick walls destroyed. (photos)
BRITAIN - The East Anglian coast escaped the predicted tidal surge devastation, but meteorologists say climate change means storms will increase tenfold by the end of the century. The extreme weather which threatened hundreds of lives and prompted mass evacuations in the east of England this week will become far more common over the next few decades, scientists warned. Such meteorological events currently have led to extreme flooding about once a century, but by the end of the century that will have risen to once a decade. During this week's event, the feared catastrophe did not materialise only because the surge did not coincide with high tide. Climate change means there is more unpredictable energy in the atmosphere, which can lead to periods of low pressure. "It's to do with more surges in the atmosphere."
