Summary of key prophecies weighed and received by Oxford Community Church

1981

“Out of a village I will bring forth a city” (Bryn Franklin)

1984

We are to be an Antioch base for a strong declaration of the gospel. Therefore to give to the corporate and not to the parochial.

It is important to view all we do in Oxford in terms of the Kingdom, not church. This could be a crucial work for influencing our nation and other nations with the Kingdom of God, not necessarily building a strong central church.

Oxfordshire is given to OCC, from the Chilterns to the Berkshire Downs (south of Wantage) to the Cotswolds. Like the promised land, each fellowship will have an allotted piece of land to take but that is only possible because they are part of something bigger (cf. Numbers 33:53-56). Also, the enemy must be driven away (possibly including religious institutions?), as per the trees in Deut 20:16-20 that do not bear fruit. We must take all the land and not falter, though it will be a long job. (Barrie Wood)

1987

Need to be an army, but split up into small units, if we are to have a large, apostolic church that is also family.

1990

“Don’t punch as hole on the side, punch it in the middle” (i.e. City centre rather than Botley or Kidlington) (Ben Moore)

1991

Vision for a joint meeting hall/school site in Oxford

1993

There should be three congregations, but it is a matter of timing. Need to return to strong city centre base, and plant out from there (into East Oxford), following successful outreach by local house groups. Must be a planting out, not a splitting (Steve Thomas)

1995

“When I did school of prayer had a dream that it wasn't time to push yet. But now the contractions are starting, it's time to push. Contractions are work; they get the body ready for birth.” (Charles Hippsley)

1998

Saw Oxford ring road, fires around the edge of the road. Lumps of fire landing in various parts of Oxfordshire. One went to Witney and exploded, "going to unusual places" (villages). God disturbed a nest in Witney – people had to move to villages to cope with what God was doing. Wedge of fire (from Botley to north Oxford) moved into the centre; big explosion from there to other cities. Ropes of fire cut across the city, interwoven. God cutting across various people groups. The rope became interwoven into a strong rope. (Bryn Franklin)

A picture of a mountain summit on which were written the words "My House".  As we climbed the summit and got the top, we could see another mountain beyond is saying "shall be called..."; as we climbed further there was yet another summit saying "a house of prayer..." and another "for all nations".  Our new Centre will be God's "house of prayer" for all nations, but it's going to involve climbing different summits to get there. (Mark Soppitt)

1999

Picture of a computer screen showing God's agenda for the Apostolic Centre.  Instead of business items it was simply a list of thousands upon thousands of names.... names of everyone in OCC but then name upon name of people from many nations and ethnic groups..... the list seemed never to end.  God will bless everyone in OCC through this Centre, but streams of others will pass through and be touched, blessed and filled and go out changed.  God's Agenda for the Centre is: PEOPLE. (Anthea Dillon)

2000

This is a season of harvest. There are new characteristics about the harvest season; there are different priorities. When sowing you can be neat and methodical but in harvest it is time to drop tools and do everything we can to gather. (Andy O’Connell)

2001

Concerning Kidlington – picture  of olive trees. In the Bible, these represent God’s power (Rev 11), the Spirit (Zech 4) and a picture of new people being grafted in (Rom 11). The joining of new people (branches) to the old (the stump) will bring God’s power and Spirit. (Steve Jones)

Bryn’s word: Joshua 3:1-7 – a new season, multi-racial leadership, 1000 people, 100 cells, etc. (see separate page for full transcript)

“Over the next 3 years, I’m going to put many keys in your hands, but the real keys are the hidden ones – the quiet unseen acts of obedience, the tears shed in the quiet place, putting me first in the midst of the pressures. As I expand your hearts in the hidden place, so you will find me pushing out the boundaries of your influence and of the influence of the Kingdom in this city.” (Mike Madden)

2002

TKC is God’s, and should be developed as an ‘Oxford Christian Centre’ for all regional churches. (Phillipe Beaussier)
