A Vision of The Church
Posted: 26 Jun 2010 02:27 PM PDT
Last year the
Lord showed me the falling away of His church that was about to begin.
He took me in a vision to a place where I could see the edge of a
plateau. I could see this massive building that was spread out over a
great distance. It was amazing to look at. As I looked at it the Lord
spoke to me and called it His church. Then he moved me closer so that I
was standing almost directly under it. I could see how the erosion
around it had caused the land under its foundations to be winnowed away
until I saw that it was sitting on a very narrow piece of land. Suddenly
I saw half of it fall away.
Then He showed me a picture of the
church as a whole, how the defilement that my brothers and sisters were
walking in directly affected me. He showed me a picture of Him standing
in front of me and His body filled with defilement. He explained that we
are one body, and He showed me how their sin makes me sick, and
vulnerable to the enemy. He showed me how it is impossible for Him to
pour out His Glory upon His church because of her love for this world.
He
said He could not consume the church in its current state with His
glory, that He had to remove those who were defiling His body first.
At
that time he also began showing me visions and giving me dreams about
separating the sheep from the goats and the virgins with the oil from
those who did not have enough oil for their lamps. During that time of
division God continued to show me that He was separating his people into
three distinct groups; the “bride”, the “church” and the “flocks” which
consisted of the sheep, the goats, and the lost sheep.”
During
that time I had a vision of the Lord and Lucifer walking through the
sheep pen. The sheep were being inspected for the mark of the Lord upon
their life. Then they were being put to a test. First the Lord would
speak to the sheep, He comforted them and gave them instruction. Then He
stepped back and Lucifer stepped up and began to speak to the sheep. I
saw that some of the sheep would run away, slightly confused, but they
did not like the sound of the voice talking to them. He continued to try
and speak to them, but they would not listen and kept running to the
other side of the pen to hide behind the folds of the Lord’s clothing.
It was those whom the Lord picked up and put in His sheep fold. This
continued time and again, each sheep was tested. Those who forgot the
instruction of the Lord, and listened to Lucifer were scooped up and
placed in His pen. I saw that each sheep had to choose who’s voice that
they would believe.
Those who listened to the Lord's voice and
did not follow any other, have been placed in the Lord's sheep pen, they
will be spared from the shaking that will commence in the following
season. Those who knew and agreed with the enemy's voice over the Lord's
have been put into the enemy’s pen so that they can be shaken with the
world.
The Lord then began to lay out the characteristics of each
group.
The “Church” are those who are the leaders, the Priests,
the Pharisees, and the Sadducees. They are those who are in the position
of the watchmen, and have fallen asleep. They are those who have been
about their own agenda instead of the Lord’s agenda. They are those who
preach to the masses and tickle the ears. They are those who dwell in
white washed tombs. They are those who were supposed to be leading and
tending to the sheep, But the Lord has returned to find them partying
with the drunkards, or beating the sheep. They have loved the things of
this world or their own ways instead of God’s ways, and have refused
correction in their inner man.
The bride are those who have been
about the Lord’s business, who have lived by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God. Through the sifting they have clung to the Lord
and given to Him everything he has asked of their life. They have not
loved their lives, and have continued to die to self. They have refused
to go along with the masses and be lulled to sleep, and as the time of
confusion has come upon the church through the sifting they have had
their nose to the plow, and their face sent like flint upon their
redeemer, their beloved. I have also seen many times that throughout
this time the Lord has kept her hidden with the move of the Lord growing
inside of her for these end times.
The sheep are those who have
washed their robes in the blood of the lamb and they will not follow any
other besides the Lord.
The goats are those who claim to be
sheep. They have not taken the time to have relationship with the Lord,
and can not withstand the temptations of the enemy. When the enemy
speaks to them they agree with his voice rather than God’s. They have
been playing church, instead of being the temple of the Lord.
The
lost sheep are those who are outside of the pen. They have been
wandering about with broken legs, and scars so deep that they could not
be healed. Those who have come in for healing to the sheepfold, but
could find none. They are those who have been taught the word, but have
been also beaten by the shepherds.
When they have come to the
shepherds and they could not help them, they have been accused of not
wanting God enough. In this upcoming time God will send His healing
strength to them first. He will collect them and bring them in for
healing and strengthening. He will set them free by His power, and then
feed them with His word until they are strengthened.
As the Lord
has shown me visions of the lost sheep, I have seen that in this
following time when the Glory of the Lord comes upon His bride that He
will send them to the broken, and the lost first. They will be collected
from the Highways and the bi-ways.
I believe this time of
sifting and dividing has come to an end, and I believe that the time of
the Lord’s movement is at hand. I believe the door’s of opportunity have
come to a close. I also believe that a new era is about to begin.
In
May, He began to give me dreams about the cancer needing to be removed
from His bride immediately. Then He gave me a dream in which I saw the
Lord standing over his bride. He had an electric saw. He cut through the
center of her, and half of her fell away. Then He stood over her for a
little while working on her. When he stepped away I saw that she was
suddenly whole again. He had replaced the old cancerous half with a new
half that was full of life and vitality.
Two weeks ago I was in
my kitchen preparing dinner, and grieving for these things that I had
been seeing. Suddenly I saw a vision of the land. It was filled with
black horses and black riders, I could not see their faces, but I could
feel the excitement of the horses. I could see their heavy excited
breathing. The riders were ready, with swords. They were ready to go
through the land and begin dismantling everything and everyone who is
not of the Lord. I saw that they were not just a spoken word getting
ready to be brought to pass, but they were here; ready to do the bidding
of the Lord. They are just waiting for the time of release from the
Lord.
I woke one morning and He was talking to me about the
death, and destruction that is getting ready to come first to His church
and then it will move on to the world.
He said it is not about
who is good, and who is evil. But it is truly about those who love Him
solely versus those who use Him for their purposes. He is about to
dismantle everything in the church that is not of Him. The only thing
that will be left standing when He is done, are the works that have been
created by Him.
I saw that it was not only going to be a
dismantling of organizations, but of everything that was not of Him, and
was being called Him. I saw leaders that were standing in His way, who
were going to be moved, some through death, some through exposing and
others through a turning of the hearts.
I began to hear the Lord
call it, a transferring of wealth. He said that with the hearts of the
faithful of His people, would come the wealth. I saw whole congregations
be handed over to faithful leaders and the unfaithful being removed.
I
believe that is what He is getting ready to do is to cut away the
defilement; the cancer that has been killing His body. I have seen that
there will be a time of mourning followed by great release in the
Spirit. After the destruction will come the uniting of the bride with
intimacy with Jesus, He will take His bride into the bride chamber and
become one with her.
At that time the Shekinah glory of the Lord
being made manifest in His temple again, which is us, His bride. Then
She will enter into the most incredible time in the history of the
church; When the Lord unites with His bride, I see that the display of
His Glory, and Might will take the place of the "systems" that are in
place now.
I have seen visions of His bride praying for those
whom have not been able to break free, because there was no display of
the Lord's power. I have seen His bride pray, and the fire of the Lord
fall and consume the enemy that has consumed His children. I have seen
them instantly set free, with only the need to be taught how to "go and
sin, no more".
I have seen that out of that time of intimacy and
unity then a "spiritual draft" will begin.
At that time the youth
will begin being “called out” and summoned up, as the army who is to be
sent into the world for the end time harvest. I have seen that we will
need to be able to teach them a condensed version of what we had
learned. That instead of 2 years of preparation, that they would arise
out of nowhere and would need to know how to walk in the Word, and
Spirit of the Lord. that He would anoint them, that we would need to
teach them how to stay stable in the Lord.
After that then a time
of spiritual warring and victory. I have seen the bride moving forward
as an army of one together, and I have seen ancient principalities
fleeing before the angels of the Lord and the prayers of the saints, and
then I saw the end time harvest commence.
I believe that the
“cutting away” or the dismantling will begin with the Fast of the 17th
of Tamuz. It is a Jewish fast that commemorates the date that the
Israelites were taken into captivity, the dismantling of the temple and
the destruction of the wall. Every great day of destruction to the
Israelites has come on this day. The date of the beginning of this fast
is June 29th, 2010.
In January of this year the Lord began to
declare that this work would be done by June.
He continued to
give me visions of this, and told me to look up events on the Jewish
Calendar that commenced in June. The only one that I could find was the
Fast of the 17th of Tamuz. It is a three-week fast that ends with the
fast of the Fast of Tishba Av. Each day of this last fast they pray,
“inspire us not to mourn our own losses, but be there for others in
their pain and sorrow, and may we never know loss again.”

So glad you posted this Julie...I do not know who Alena Miles is, but she is truly of God!!!
Hear are some of things the Lord is dealing with our ministry on this year.
- It's All About The Bride
- It's All About Israel
- Tell "them" (the lost sheep) I said, It's Not Their Fault!! That I see the powers of darkness working against them! (they instantly "break" hearing these words...everytime!!! At first, I could not imagine that the Lord was saying this...but, I knew it was not me, so, I spoke it out to this person...they just became broken under the power and love of the Lord. The "Church At Large" most likely could not hear this, but truth it is!!!
- Tell "them", (the Church) I know, they know my VOICE!" (but is the Church listenning?!! You see, how this puts the responsibility back on US to listen and OBEY the Shephard!!!
- Tell "them", (the Sheep & the Lost Sheep)to ask for ALL of Me so that they will be able to withstand the dark days ahead!! They ask and the Holy Spirit immediately accomodates that request...with the Power of the Holy Spirit!!!
AMEN!

there is God's 'church' and the 'system of church' ... and I truly believe God is trying to get people delivered from the 'system of church' and get them into personal relationship, interaction and intimacy with Jesus... going to church for a message from the pastor is just not how God wants it to be.. we need to fill up at home in our private time with Jesus and go forth doign what we see the father doing.. and if we do 'go to church' in a building, then we need go where we can be activated to do what God has given each of us to do... we actually found a church that says every one in that church needs to be like one of the 12 ... every one has a message, a ministry, a calling, a gifting etc.. and every one is like one of the 12 disciples/apostles of Jesus....
this word really spoke to me.. glad it is confirming and speaking to you as well.. blessings Carol!
