Emma Stark: Friends of Father, Son & Holy Spirit (James 2:23)
Emma Stark speaks with Peter & Trisha Roselle on June 4, 2020 during COVID lockdowns.
James 2:23 says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.” Emma speaks of her growth as a Christian as she moved away from her upbringing of Cessationism into a rich, prophesy-filled relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Quotes: “I understood that God was my friend, so my assumption was that His Spirit was going to be my friend as well. I think one of the major issues is we are far too formal with God. I understood that God was my friend, so my assumption was that His Spirit was going to be my friend as well. I think one of the major issues is we are far too formal with God.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

I’m a fourth-generation preacher, and my father actually is a senior theologian.
I married my own William Wallace, my own Braveheart.
I've got all the Celtic, Irish, and Scottish warrior vibe going on.
I run a ministry the Glasgow Prophetic Center Global Prophetic Alliance.
I run the British Isles Council of Prophets.
I’m part of the European Council of Prophets.
The long and the short of it is that I prophesy over everything 
that moves. I grew up a Cessationist.
We did not know who the Holy Spirit was at all.
It was Father, Son and Holy Scriptures.
We do have a rooting of a love of the Word of God.
Then, at age 18, I met Holy Spirit. 
I’m now in my mid 40s and I’m like
oh there's a spirit you know and that was a total shock.
So we married Word and Spirit on those foundations but a rich history
in church and theology and loving church.
Not always liking her, but certainly loving church.

Peter
How did you get connected with Christian international?

Emma
I went to a training school that Dr. Sharon Stone ran, that was
decades ago - and she really took me under her wing.
We're ordained clergy through Christian International
with Tom and Jane Hamon and Bishop Bill Hamon.
They are the Godfathers of the prophetic if I can
call them that respectfully.
She just did a training course and she has just been a star in nurturing me over
the years. She actually is still one of my trustees to this day.

Trisha
I think it's interesting that you said that your background was
Cessationism - you love the holy scriptures and it's very
important that we have a foundation in the Word.
How did you transition?
I know you said you met the Holy Spirit at 18.
How did you transition into operating in a revelation in
the fullness of Holy Spirit?

Emma
I would have seen things as a child.
It was quite scary initially until I knew what I was 
dealing with. I would see faces and 
didn't know they were angels or demons.
It wasn't till I it was probably 1997 when
I left home I was at university
and the Toronto blessing exploded.
I saw John Wimber preach but I had no
idea who he was at that point.
He was prophesying and I thought, “I can do that… 
What is that called?”
I'd never seen anybody else do that.
He must have been quite infirm at the time.
I had no idea who he was.
I went searching and discovered that it was called prophecy.
That was a complete shock to me.
I thought that had died out.
I begged God to baptize me with His Spirit
and I fell on the floor in a student university meeting.
This went into straight into this open vision.
I spoke in tongues and laughed for about 90 minutes.
I thought everybody would be really delighted.
I understood that God was my friend, so my assumption
was that His Spirit was going to be my friend as well.
I think one of the major issues is we are
far too formal with God.
Now, does God like protocol?
Oh yes! There's only one way - 
Jesus is the way the truth and the life.
The protocol of coming through Jesus,
The protocol of entering his courts with
thanksgiving - you don't disobey that protocol.
He's a family God.

Peter
It's interesting that you bring up John Wimber.
As a musician I was drawn to the music that the Vineyard was 
producing, it is where I first heard the expression “first-person worship,”
John helped teach us to sing directly to God, not just about God.

Emma
I think that God is lonely. 
I think sometimes God is lonely, starved of friendship.
Only three people in scripture get called a friend of God.
