Storming London - 30th July 2022
KIVI ON A MISSION…
Glory be to God - this was the biggest storming of the year!
“Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be achieved”
Proverbs 16:3
We not only committed the storming to our Lord but handed the entire storming to Him. The planning, preparation, and doing were led by the Lord of Hosts. As He led, we obeyed.

To our God be all the glory! Weather history says that it has rained on the 30th July for years. KIVI team petitioned heaven, and God answered by fire to stop the rain as forecasted. Hallelujah! The weather was dry and sunny throughout the day on the 30th July 2022. In the book of Joshua, we are told that Joshua stopped the sun:
“And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So, the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.” (Joshua 10:13)
God gave us the same authority to stop the rain. Our God is Awesome!
The second challenge we had was the train strike on the day. But God turned it for our good. We are
unstoppable and unmovable! There were some who initially refused to count the cost but radically made up their minds that train strikes would not be a hindrance. There were no trains in the days of the disciples! Some drove to Marble Arch, the central venue for the event. It was amazing to see saints arrive so early to set up. There was such united teamwork, not even train strikes could get in our way. We started a bit late to accommodate more people and we had the victory as over 200 participants attended.
The third challenge was among the team itself. One of the main leaders lost his younger sister a week before the Storming under the same roof. Being such a kingdom minded brother, in his pain, he chose to keep the loss to himself in order to advance the kingdom of God without distraction. He averted any possible distraction Satan intended to cause by his silence. Glory be to God!
There were team members who were sick, some hospitalised, but they all turned up unstoppable by test and trial, putting the great commission first.
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39 KJV)
A WORD FROM THE LORD BEFORE THE STORMING
Storming London and the March
The most visible and obvious aim of Storming is the salvation of souls, and it is very easy to mistake this for being the only or main thing. There are aims that are not quite so obvious to many people:
1. Engendering unity
2. Making the Church visible
3. Motivating believers
A significant effect of Storming is the opening up of a city spiritually, through complete intercession, which is:
1. Worship and prophetic actions and declarations
2. Interceding on behalf of man with the Father in worship, prayer and fasting
3. Interceding on behalf of God with man in the sharing and preaching of the gospel.
The March
The March in London is a prophetic action. We gather, form an army and march shouting “JESUS IS LORD”. We are accompanied by a great and innumerable company of angels. That declaration “JESUS IS LORD”, is not just for men. It is a statement of FACT into the spiritual atmosphere of the city.
33“Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear… 36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:33,36 NKJV)
The declaration “JESUS IS LORD” is a fact. It is what every member of the body of Christ already knows to be truth. It is released over the city along with other declarations for heaven to war with and work with.
Praise and worship
The worship team took us to a new level of worship with an innumerable company of angels present. The atmosphere was electrified with praise and gratitude to our God as some were on their knees and others lay flat on the floor to appreciate and worship the King of kings. It was irresistible to worship God in the atmosphere. All glory to God!
UNKNOWN INFORMATION/INSIGHT WAS REVEALED TO US
We have stormed the city of London twice in the last two years, 2021 and 2022, with Marble Arch being the central venue. We were led by the Holy Spirit, not knowing why God sent us to Marble Arch twice. It was revealed to us at the event that about 200 years ago, Christians were martyred on that very site. We began to repent on behalf of the United Kingdom.
Today’s St Marylebone is made up of two ancient manors: Tyburn and Lillestone. The manor of Tyburn is infamous as the site of Tyburn Tree, one of London’s most awful places of public execution for criminals, traitors, and victims of state-sponsored religious persecution. Today, the place of execution is marked by a simple stone circle set into the traffic island near Marble Arch. Tyburn, near Marble Arch, was the site of 'The King's Gallows' from 1196 to 1783. It was thus the one-way destination for six centuries for every kind of criminal. What is this all about?
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chron 7:14)
God requires us as believers to stand in the gap and repent on behalf of our nation for their sin so that He may bring healing.
THE PROPHETIC MARCH THROUGH THE CITY OF LONDON
As hundreds of saints marched on the street chanting “JESUS IS LORD” repeatedly heaven became open over London. We made history and mercy was being extended to the nation. We got the attention of everyone as we marched through the land taking territories from the devil back to God. Some onlookers were provoked to join us in chanting JESUS IS LORD. The cloud of witnesses was present, angels and the spirit of just men perfect were present. Hallelujah! We changed the climate to the frequency of heaven. Glory be to Almighty God!
GOSPEL PREACHED IN THE CITY (Testimony)
We had five main groups, each with four sub-groups, which were allocated to different parts of the city. The gospel was preached and 54 precious souls made a commitment to the Lord. Glory be to God! Hallelujah! Heaven rejoiced on the day for those souls.
GROUPS RETURN BACK TO MARBLE ARCH TO GIVE REPORTS AND TESTIMONIALS
- 54 souls made a commitment
- Physical healing took place for some
- The atmosphere was saturated by the presence of God
- The saints being in one accord released God to move in London
Only God knows the spiritual shifts that occurred unbeknownst to us, so we thank the Lord for:
- all the souls that made a commitment to God
- the saints that attended the storming regardless of the train strike
- those who sowed financially and preached the gospel
- those who prayed 24/7 to build the bridge.
Last but not least, we want to thank our anchor for the day, the Holy Spirit, who came in His terms and conditions and was in charge of the event. We couldn’t have done it without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
UNITED KINGDOM SHALL BE SAVED
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. (Psalm 126:3)
