I have always had a people…that have not stopped wrestling in the spirit and have cried out to Me. Chris Daza (Burundi) 2006

History of the persecution of and finally the expulsion of the Jews from Bristol during the 1100s and 1200s as very significant. First they were taxed to help fund the Crusades - done in the name of Jesus but effectively persecuting both Jews and Muslims. This sin against the Jews was an effective breaking of covenant that then allowed for the Knights Templars to come in to take the financial ground; from there the door was opened for the Masonic (which is very strong in Bristol). From there wrong alliances were formed particularly when the slave trade took root between the church and the slave traders. So many of the churches were financed from that source. This wrong alliance then means that today there are blockages between partnerships of civic & church spheres. Martin Scott 2002

We’re not just dealing with the old issues of slavery, we’re not just dealing with the old issues of the Masonic, we’re not just dealing with greed or an abuse of funds, we’re dealing with here, a 3 fold cord. Sharon Stone 2005

Slavery in many to wealth or drugs or other negative things, but also a spirit of slavery in Christians. ? speaker 2004

An imprisoning slave trade principality still has considerable influence over the city… If this influence is not removed beforehand then there will be circular movements [ie falling back into old problems] in a future revival in Bristol instead of forward movement. Steve Dobbs 2003

Bristol is a place where the underlying roots are slavery, and it is a tactic of the enemy against us right now. He comes in with doubt, discouragement, disbelief, and we quickly move into self-will and self-pride and cease to be effective because we are flowing by head knowledge and not by Godly knowledge.
A key hole: there are many keys that could be used in a keyhole, but only two that will enable you to open it by My Spirit into the fullness that you need. They are: The key of David (praise) and The key of My revelation knowledge (not human knowledge). Carolyn Bounds 2004

Spiritual strongholds over Bristol are complacency and the Jezebel spirit (otherwise known as the spirit of deception). … To engage in this spiritual battle we will need to be in unity and corporate solidarity. Debs Harrison 2011

You cannot work for unity, unity is a fruit that is borne as the trees’ roots are watered with tears of repentance and covenantal love. Sheena Tranter 2011

As the church continues to pray, churches will come together. Boundaries will be crossed, unity will be established, and people will come together as one for one cause. The bridge represents connections, stepping out, launching out in the deep. A bridge is supported by strong foundations and pillars. Charmayne 2011

Leaders need to develop an attitude that says “We must not give up”… the Holy Spirit wants to resurrect your dream and vision. Something is about to break out. Mark Stibbe 2010

There is a fire about to come. It is a fire of holiness… I believe there’s a move of the Holy Spirit coming of both intimacy and purity. Purity and a holy fear of the Lord. It will get very uncomfortable when the fire comes if we have sin. Mark Stibbe 2009

That anointing the Lord has given us to break that yoke of slavery that comes through the greed and the mammon and the pride and those things.
