REVIEW OF BRIAN'S LONG WEEKEND IN SOUTH WALES BY NEVILLE STEPHENS.

What a weekend that was! What a pleasure it was to receive the popular and anointed Bible Prophecy teacher Brian Gemmell from York, and also from the Bible Prophecy Foundation to minister to us at Pontypool, Newport and Bassaleg over his long weekend trip to the "land of our fathers". People often remark that the valleys of South Wales can be quite depressing at times with high unemployment and other social issues, but when you have such an exciting and knowledgeable speaker as Brian, any gloom quickly vanishes as those gathered get a little taste of heaven on earth with superb teaching and fellowship.

Before crossing the Severn Bridge, Brian even managed to squeeze in a house Bible study fellowship meeting in Bristol at the home of our good friend Keith Cline last Thursday, and this also was an excellent occasion according to our contacts in the west country.

For the Welsh leg of his mini tour, Brian first spoke at the Pontypool branch of the BPF and PWMI on the Friday evening when he took as his subject "LAWLESSNESS ON THE LOOSE". A larger than anticipated audience attended and were quite spellbound as the wordsmith from Scotland eloquently ministered on the devilish practises which are happening in the world around us today. He warned that "the god of this world" not only deceives the majority of the human race with his subversive and destructive purposes, but even Christians in "the sleeping church" are falling prey to the subtle tactics of the fallen one.

The following day, on Saturday the 16th Feb, Brian made his annual trip to Nancy's Farm, which is a fantastic and charming seventeenth century farmhouse in superb scenic surrounds in Bassaleg on the outskirts of Newport. Over a hundred people packed into Nancy's splendid facility, with many having to use the overflow room, and others sitting on the stairs and on the floor!

Brian took four incredible sessions from 11am to well past the scheduled closing time of 5pm, as the many questions in the following Q&A session seemed endless, as the many supporters were eager for even more answers and clarification from this fine man of God.

Brian took as his theme the intriguing and fascinating subject of "THE RETURN OF THE BIBLE GIANTS?" He taught on the fallen angels of Genesis Six, their progeny of the nephilim, the giants of the Old Testament, the seed of Satan from Genesis Three, plus many other satanic influences which are still on the earth today including demons, witchcraft, the occult, and the alien agenda on this scary but very believable scenario in these evil last days in which we live, plus several other themes from the dark side!

Other topics Brian covered included the wars of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38/39, the soon coming rise of the Antichrist, the prophesied rise of the satanic religion of Islam, the rise in power of the "kings from the east", the rise of anti-semitism, the shock resignation of Pope Benedict with its consequences (possibly from the ancient prophecy of St.Malachy), lightning striking the vatican as a result, the current nuclear tests from North Korea with the added threat of a soon coming nuclear Iran, over a thousand people being injured in Russia from last week's meteorite, and the general shaking of the earth which is taking place in front of our very eyes!

Over twenty people stayed on, despite the long day, for another very special time, as Nancy and her willing helpers provided us with a lovely meal and a further time of fine fellowship and splendid sharing (see the pictures below). No one seemed to want to go home as the presence of the Lord was very real all day, and after all, who wants to go back "into the world" when we were enjoying so much joy in the experience of the Lord and with His saints.

Brian concluded his mini tour of our area on the Sunday when he led the morning service at the City Of Refuge Church in Bassaleg, which was another anointed gathering. Brian spoke very emotionally and powerfully on "GOD'S POWER THROUGH THE WORD", the service was a very blessed affair including a lovely communion section led by Margaret Taylor, and some good fellowship and worship led by Ron Crahart and Tony Spearing.

The latter meeting was recorded by the City of Refuge Church, and is available from them by logging on to their webiste at  www.cityofrefuge.org.uk. The meeting at Pontypool and the four sessions at Nancy's Farm were recorded by Keith Cline, and will be available very soon on DVD. Nearly forty orders were taken for the superb teaching sessions during the weekend, and many more will be sold in the near future. The "Lawlessness On The Loose" tape will cost £4, and the "Return Of The Giants" DVD will cost £12. You can contact Brian on briangemmell@hotmail.com,  Keith on keith.cline@talk21.com, or Neville on propheticwitnessnewport@gmail.com to place an order.

Brian is a great end times Bible Prophecy teacher, and it is always well worth travelling to listen to him expound the Word of God for these perilous latter days of our remaining time on earth. However, if you are unable to get to any of the meetings, they are always recorded and are available on his blog at www.briangemmell.blogspot.com, where there is also another splendid range of topics on DVD to choose from.

Thank you Brian, Gilly, and Kathleen for your ministry and fellowship. God Bless You All.

Maranatha Blessings,
Neville.

PPS. Plans are already in hand for Brian to return to Nancy's again this year, probably in July.
