Don't Mock God or His Word:
In the dream I was sitting in what appeared to
be some sort of counsel chamber. In the front of the chamber sat four people; a
spindly looking older man, a woman who looked like she was in her late 50's
or early 60's, another gentleman and a man who was tall in stature and had
either blonde or gray hair. There was a whole bunch of business going on. I felt
like I had gone there to make a presentation for some sort of change. I sat
there and felt the urge to get up and present the Gospel to these board members,
but also felt held back. Every time I felt the urge to speak it would be
quenched and I had a reassurance that I would have a time to participate in the
process.
It came time for the tall board member to
speak and he arose out of his chair. He came into the audience area and started
to dance. He pulled out what looked like a small New Testament and while he
danced he started to mock the Word of God. I looked up at heaven, as if to ask
God how long He would allow this to continue. The Lord then told me to make a
fist with my left hand. He then told me to hold that fist in my right hand and
to squeeze it tightly. He told me that the fist symbolized the tall man's heart
and my squeezing it symbolized what HE was doing to the man's heart at that
moment. With this action, the man grabbed his chest and fell to the floor and he
was dead. The board members all stood around the guy as another man pronounced
the tall man dead. Then the Lord spoke through me. I announced, "GOD WILL NOT BE
MOCKED - THE WORD OF GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED, NOT ANYMORE." I went and sat back
down in my chair, half in fear that the crowd would turn on me, and half happy
that God had finally spoken.
I got up and started to write this all down. I
asked the Lord to give me an interpretation of the dream. This is what He gave
me. The spindly old man represents the church members who have just sat there
and watched decay in the church and have not done anything to fix the problem.
The woman represents the New Age ideas that have infiltrated the church. The
gentleman I could not make out represents the believers who have stood in the
wings and have prayed for revival in the church. They will be used more
effectively when the facade finally dies. The tall man is the facade that died.
He represents infidelity in Messiah's Church. He represents those who have taken
on the cares of this world; those who put material things in front of what is
really important and measure success the way that the world does instead of the
way that God does.
The board members who stood around and
marveled at how the man died thought it was a natural death. In reality, it is a
spiritual death and the spindly old man and the woman will never understand it.
There is a persecution coming upon the Church. It will happen to purify the
Bride of Messiah. The facade that the Church has worn will finally die. The
quest of material things; big homes, fancy cars, riches, large and elaborate
church buildings and all of the other "keeping up with the Jones'" that the
church has lusted after will finally be gone. Those who have sat in silence; who
have prayed for the Lord to cleanse His Church will be raised up to lead the
Church into a finer hour. They will encourage and nourish those who still choose
to follow the Lord during persecution. They are the ones who have waited upon
the Lord. Their strength will be renewed and they will mount up as with wings of
eagles. They will run and not be weary, and will will walk great distances and
will not faint. Their waiting will not have been in vain and they will shepherd
the flock of God with a power and authority that the Church has not seen in two
thousand years. So the Lord stands before us, like Moses did at Mount Sinai and
He proclaims; "whomsoever is on the Lord's side, come to Me." It is the choice
of everyone reading this message; what will you do. Will you drop the facade and
let it die while you have the chance to do so freely, or will you wait until
persecution causes you to make that choice. If you are one of the silent people
are you in prayer, in preparation to mount up and lead the flock in power and
righteousness? God and His Word will not be mocked - not any longer and it's
time for all of His People to make decisions. Yahweh have His way and may we
make the right ones.
Two days later I was at work and was just
reflecting on the dream. At that time the Lord gave me a further explanation of
the dream. This had to do with the board member who I really couldn't make out.
It sort of bothered me that I couldn't make the person out and I wanted to know
why. The Lord explained to me that that individual couldn't really be revealed
as any one visage because he or she (whichever the case may be) represents many
facets of the Kingdom of God. The figure represents male, female; old, young;
Jew, Gentile, etc.
