The
CHURCH - In the first scene took place in heaven.
I saw
what looked like angels carrying a guided missile. They placed the missile
into the bow, stepped aside and there was a silence you could hear. Uncanny.
Next I saw a garment moving and I saw the feet of Jesus and realized that the
Lord was walking towards the bow. He walked up, took His awesome arm, (I saw
the nail prints and I knew it was Jesus), and He directed the bow towards
Him. He pulled it towards Him then let it go, and it came hurtling towards
the face of the earth. As it reached the earth's surface, the atmosphere, it
divided into splinters, thousands upon thousands of thousands, all over the
entire face of the earth. And I said, "God, what are You doing?"
The next scene took place on earth. I saw a church building completely burnt
out and I found the people walking around the church, weeping and wailing and
crying. And I said, "Oh God, look how they mourn." Then
God's voice changed. He said, "Mourn? They are crying over buildings
that they've erected and now are brought to naught. But did they even cry
for the souls that were entering into the caverns of hell while they built
palaces?" God said, "I've heard day and night the cries of men
and women and young people, crying out to be delivered from the caverns of
hell." Do you know what the Bible says? Hell has opened up its mouth and
enlarged itself and swallowed. I hear their screams. You say, "My people
weep?"
I said, "God what have you done?" he said, "Go to the front
door." When I got to the front door there was one of the splinter arrows
right through a scroll and He said, "What do you read?" I said,
"God, I read the word, ICHABOD." He said, "Yes. My glory
has departed." I said, "Why, God?" God said, "My
people have pushed Me out of My sanctuary and they've made the idol of
entertainment their god." He said, "I am a jealous God and I
will share My glory with no one. I have warned My people that it is a
terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I spoke to My
people through the Word. I spoke to My people through prophecy. I brought
preachers, teachers, laymen but My people didn't hear My instructions.
They were too busy playing church." I said, "God, when are
you going to do this?" He said, "I have already begun.'
I want to tell you in our travels I have seen "Ichabod"
written across some of the churches.
God said, "When man begins to think the church is his work and he tries
to monopolize it, he is treading on dangerous ground. When the people come
to church to be entertained and to have concerts they have forgotten that My
house is a house of prayer. They have forgotten that they come to the
house of God to hear from God. My people are playing around the golden calf
and they think they are hearing God." It's time God's people woke up.
God says, "I'm bringing judgment because they refuse to listen."
But He is giving a choice. God says, "That's why I'm sending you and
many others to tell this nation to get ready for a divine visitation."
The next scene moved and I came and saw a building that was again on fire.
And I heard the most incredible singing. The more the singing rose up to
heaven, the greater the fire. And I said, "God, are You burning this one
down as well?" He said, "Look what I do." The roof of the
church began to open. God's people had access into the very presence of God
and back into the gathering. There was such an awesome presence of God that
they were overwhelmed and the fire grew bigger. I said, "God, what are
You doing?" He said, "Go to the front door." I went to the
front door and there was another splinter arrow and God said, "This one
I have written with My own hand." He said, "What do you read?"
I said, "God, I read Revival." He said, "Do you know
what revival is?" He said, "Tell My people that getting
goose bumps the size of molehills, chills running down their spines, shaking
hands and vibrations is not revival. That's My blessings. Revival is
to purify and cleanse the temple that it may be ready for the glory of God.
Revival is when God is in control." He said, "When My people
allow Me back into the sanctuary as God, My house will be purified, My
house will become a house of praise. Then it will become a house of power.
Then signs and wonders will once again occur and My Word shall become
awesome in the gathering because they will use the name of Jesus which
the modern church today hardly finds a place for." And I want to tell
you that when Almighty God hears the name of Jesus, heaven stands still.
He says, "When My Son's name Jesus is once again spoken in the
gatherings, when My people use the Word" the pure Word not all the infiltration's we've put into the Word, "I will hear." We've
watered God's Word down so that we don't know what God has said and what man
has said. God said, "I am going to strip every tree that My Father has
not planted. I am going to pluck them up." We've made God's word
virtually null and void. We've filled it with philosophies. We've
filled it with man-made ideas. He said, that He's going to strip all the
compromises. He is going to be the power of His Word. The blood of
the Lamb is going to cleanse God's people. The name of Jesus and the
anointing of the Spirit is the signature to seal it all. They must get the
glory, not us.
Then God said, "Tell My people I'm coming to visit them in a blanket
form. My glory is going to descend into their midst. And if My
people are not ready for My glory, Ananias and Sapphira will happen in
the very presence of the gathering."
Then God said tell them, "I said to Moses, tell the Israelite's I'm
coming to visit." The Israelite's were so excited. They said, "God's
coming to visit." They had no idea who God was and I don't think the
children of God today have a clear understanding of who God is. They treat
Him too disrespectfully. But you know what those people had to do. They had
to clean up. They had to be purified -- their home, their lives, their
clothes. That is why I believe God has sent us. We've come as a warning to
the house of God which has gone into captivity. This nation that was born on
"in God we trust" has turned from "in God we trust" and
they have elevated other things more than God. God said, "Tell them I'm
coming to visit." When the children of Israel heard God was coming to visit
they were so excited. But I tell you when God did visit they nearly died
of fright. The Bible tells us the earth shook. There was a
trumpet sound that was awesome. And God's people who a few days
before were saying, "Hallelujah, He's coming," began to back off
and got on their knees because you know when God's presence comes
closer you start to see yourself as your really are. The camouflages
fall off. The justification falls by the wayside. The compromise no
longer covers you. The fig leaves fall, and you are naked before God.
You know what He said? "I'm coming to visit My people and My glory is
awesome." I said, "God, I don't understand Your glory." I have
a grandson which I absolutely adore. He said, "What do you desire the
most?" I said, "I want to love that grandson. I want to hold him
and kiss him and love him." "What if I told you My glory was upon
you and you couldn't even look at that grandson?" I said, "God,
that would be the cruelest thing you could ever do to me because I know I
would forget. I would want to touch him.." And that cloud
disintegrated in front of me. God says, "That's what My glory does to
sin." God said, "Adam and Eve were in the garden, clothed
with My glory. We communed face to face. When they sinned the glory fell and I
wanted to embrace them but I didn't because My glory would consume
them." So God the Father had to back off and Jesus became the way.
Jesus stands between us and the Father."
You know, the sun is shining down on this earth. It's got two deadly rays. If
they weren't deflected by the earth's atmosphere we would be consumed. If
Jesus didn't stand between us and the Father, we would be consumed. But you
know what Jesus says? He says, "Bride, I'm getting you ready for
glory. I've got to get you purified. I'm going to get you holy because I want
to present you to My Father, spotless, that He may touch you, that He may
embrace you, that He may hold to His bosom without you being consumed."
Then God said, "Go to every place where I open the door to you in this
country and tell them they have a choice - ICHABOD OR REVIVAL."
[Note: Ichabod means in Hebrew - The
Glory Has Departed]
I do not
believe there is a problem with this word being re-posted here. If there is a
complaint it will be removed. However, I do not think there will be any
problem. - Moderator
