“WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE CHURCH?”
June 11, 2005
12If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. I CO. 3
“What is the status of the church, would say the Lord? “
(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a scene of what looked like a scroll being rolled up on the ground. I watched as it was being rolled up on the ground, and then I saw that what had looked like a scroll was actually fire that was being rolled up. Strange creatures of some sort, possibly demons, were rolling up this fire. This continued for some time and then there was a figure that was clad in black that stood over the ground. I saw many types of jewels that were on the ground and then these jewels were covering many of the people who were wearing them. Many seemed to be seeking after these jewels, and this seemed to be the primary direction or emphasis, of those who were there. The scene shifted then and where there once had been fire that was being rolled up, there was now a torrent of water. I saw a figure who was clad in rags and was desperately trying to get out of the raging river. Someone had offered the person a hand at one time, but then the figure was lost in the torrent. I looked into the river and noticed that there were many who were there. There were figures of many people who were caught-up in this torrent, and there was no one there to help pull them out. Finally at the end of this vision, I saw the figures of a few people who were holding harps and playing them. They were amidst the clouds and seemed to be oblivious to anything else that was going on around them)
“I tell you that this is the primary direction of many who are in the church. They are deceived into thinking that they will receive jewels and riches. They are oblivious to many who are lost. But they think that they have eternal salvation in Me. There is a dark figure who hovers over many in the church. This figure promises them many things. They don’t know that they are being deceived by him. “
