I see the Valley as a ‘Thin place’ – like Iona – Lindisfarne – like Sinai where Moses and later Elijah encountered God, a thin place where there is little barrier between heaven and earth.

A portal – a window – a gate of heaven – a vortex of God’s blessing.

When Jacob met with God at Bethel and saw the angels ascending and descending, he said “This is the house of God the gate of heaven”

 People will move house into this Valley and turn to God in a way they could never do before they moved here.

 People will move here and get healed, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Marriages will be restored.

 Visitors to this area will have visions and dreams. They will come in depressed and go out rejoicing. They will come in weary and go out refreshed and invigorated.

 They will come lacking direction and they will go away with clear sense of God’s purposes for them and with a clear vision of how to go about the Father’s business. Young people will know to which university to make application.

 The Valley will be like the land of Goshen that missed the Egyptian plagues Ex. 8:22, business will move to the valley to prosper.

 In the valley people will find it easier to worship. There will be a freedom of praise and worship in the churches not found elsewhere.

 The incidence of promiscuity, addictions and crime will fall – education and business will thrive.

 There will be more singing, laughing and whistling than anywhere else in the UK and the blessing of God will flow out of the valley like a river into the Aylesbury Vale, London and to the nations.

 There will be a fecundity that will birth many new Kingdom ministries and businesses and there will be an acceleration of God’s purposes on the earth.

 IS ALL THIS REALLY POSSIBLE?  CAN THIS BE? IS THIS JUST CRAZY TALK? Silly day dreaming? A laughable idea?

 WITH GOD THE IMPOSSIBLE DOES NOT EXIST! “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:10

JESUS taught us to pray, “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”

This Valley is the piece of geography that God has called us to pray heaven down.

Prophecy from Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, Kingsway Church, Sunday November 3rd 1996 about the Valley of Praise.

"There is a valley in the area, and Lord I thank You because You will create, not a golden triangle, but a spiritual triangle in that valley, and it will be the Valley of Blessing, it will be known as the Valley of Beracah, the Valley of Blessing, for the Lord shall specifically send a new fresh light upon that valley, and from that valley shall come forth the word of the Lord. Light shall come out of that valley and go into several places, places they have never even known or thought about, and oh, thank you, yes, I see a mighty light shining out of that valley into various corners of the world - we receive it by faith, we receive it by faith.  I see some para churches - that is, not churches, but ministry organisations - attracted to Berkhamsted area or whatever, reaching therefrom, within which Berkhamsted is.  Those para churches will begin to come there and the more they come there, the more darkness will have to leave it, the more witches' covens will have to be closed down."

After the service, Pastor Matthew explained that the triangle that he had seen was a completely unbroken shaft of light reaching directly from heaven to earth.  He stressed that there was no break in the light. He also added "Door of Hope" to "Valley of Beracah".
