I intend to send out two reports for these recent days in Germany. One an overview and a second one that is focused on our final place: Schwäbisch Gmünd. Over these days six of us travelled covering something around 1200 miles on the road.

 

An overview: time in Ulm. This is a place of immense battle and where battles won there will have an impact from there. There is an old saying that if you do not take Ulm you cannot take Germany. We also had an interesting time in clearing one of the houses from the effects of a suicide, and the person sleeping in that room experienced a healing overnight after the prayer for the room.

 

From Ulm we made two quick stops, first in Oberkochen: this is the home for the famous lens manufacturers Zeiss. A small place with enormous potential for developing new products with quick expansion. Our time here was into a couple whose main impact in the town will be through business. I am convinced that their business product will impact nations. Then from there we went to Herzogenaurach. Praying there I spoke of deep division in the land at a family dispute level: this is the town that hosts both Adidas and Puma. Originally one company and the two brothers divided. There is much work to be done in this place and the need for gatekeepers who will come in and begin to turn the battle at the gates is necessary.

 

Our next stop was Eishausen and area. This is part of what was East Germany and with significant history to overcome. The Count of the area would take the bride on the night of her marriage and have sex with her. We discovered that two of the daughters of leaders had been seriously impacted at age 14. One had a sever form of epilepsy, the other had literally stopped developing. I also saw many first born had been sacrificed - then when asking about how many first born were around found that so many had died prematurely, or were seriously ill etc. I am looking for a regional church across this area to develop.

 

 

Issues of the land and bloodshed were as ever present

 

Then we went to Großenhain (near Dresden). This was my second visit here. Last time was when we confronted Hecate (one of the main goddesses in witchcraft, with influence at crossroads, and over death and childbirth) without realising it and ended in some serious problems that the Lord got us out of. So I was keen to get back here. Thankfully there has been a significant binding of her powers which was evidenced by the shift in the accidents at the ancient crossroads. This church now has the run of the former civic centre in town, which is one of the most prominent buildings. Given the wall came down just 16 years ago this is indeed a significant indication of the shift. It was very encouraging to be here, and there was a sweet release of the prophetic for people. I see a significant release of youth across this area, a lot of mission going out and also start up businesses being incubated in the building.

 

From there we went to Schwäbisch Gmünd and I will send out a separate report on this as it contains personal history as well.
