There was this grand old mansion that had seven floors. I was made to reside in this place, to live there. This grand old house was in disrepair and falling apart everywhere. As I visited all the floors in this house, and visited the different rooms, it had occurred to me that this place must have been very, very beautiful to behold at one time…but it was dirty now, and falling apart.

People were living in various parts of this falling down rickety old house, but the Lord directed a certain of them to a certain wing in which they would be safe from the falling in parts of this house.

I myself am a carpenter and a Construction Engineering Technologist (diploma) in real life. In the dream I got to go and visit the various places where people had attempted repairs to this grand old structure.

It seemed that there was an extensive amount of repairing going on, but those doing the repairing of this building were not skilled enough to do the massive amount of structural and building envelope repairs needed…and these repairs they did were about to collapse in on them (The Lord says: except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.).

The Lord impressed upon me that if I dwell in this house where He instructs me to, that I will be safe from the coming collapse. ( I assume the Lord is about to do a work)

This building was a grand structure in its beginning, bigger and more beautiful than any that had been built to that day, and it is about to undergo some major changes, so that its latter end will be greater than its beginning.

…from the remnants of the ruins it shall rise, more beautiful and with such a glorious splendor that words can only merely describe but not articulate it to its depth of what it shall become.

Most of this grand old building is about to be demolished and collapsed in on itself except the core part (remnant) of which I told you about, that if I dwell there I will be safe; for all that can be shaken will be shaken when the wrecking ball begins.

And so it begins.

I believe this work where the Lord said: “I will do a new thing” is: He is about to rebuild his church (the body of Christ) from the ground up…from the remnants of the ruins which must come first. (great falling away?)

Events on Earth are soon to take place that are going to cause the Bride to finally come together, and it will be the Lord’s doing that does it. Denominational barriers are going to come crashing down as Christians begin to find common ground and begin to pull together in a global revival…

To some, men’s hearts will fail them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

In the midst of the coming global chaos and great tribulation, there will be a revival and a move of the Spirit of God, such as has not been seen to this day, no not even in the beginning…for God shall pour out of His Holy Spirit upon the Body of Christ to strengthen and purify/beautify the Bride of the Lamb…that she may be pure and holy – and without spot or blemish, or any such thing, and her gown shall be as white as snow…many will turn to the Lord during this time in a global revival.

The Lord Jesus is going to send skilled labor into the field…His carpenters and engineers etc., of which He Himself is the Chief building engineer. This structure that is going to go up will be built according to His specifications and design, and no one will be allowed to deviate with their own ideas and repairs, but will follow only His design. The latter end of this house will be greater than the former.

…it’s coming, it’s coming quickly.

Concerning the house of God who we are:

For thus says the LORD of hosts, Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.

“I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts.

‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the LORD of hosts.

‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ declares the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:6-9

I’ve been wanting to share an event that took place a few weeks ago. I thought about doing a post, but I’ll just tell you instead as it touches on this topic. It was a Sunday morning and the worship time at our church seemed….strange. We sang, I think a total of two songs which utilized only a few words, and, while I couldn’t put my finger on any unscriptural goings on, I was nonetheless troubled. I would not question the sincerety of anyone in our church. Yet I was troubled for two days afterwards and I inquired as to why this was so.

Well late Tuesday evening, while at work, I suddenly found myself thinking of my church in Virginia and the songs that they always sang. Songs like “Victory in Jesus” “There’s Room at the Cross For You” “At Calvary” and many other older type songs. The lyrics and melodies began going through my mind and the joy spikes started. My church in Virginia didn’t have an elaborate worship team; only sister Brown playing the piano. But they would start singing these lyrics and….it’s astonishing that the roof never gave way from all of the shouting. I miss that! I REALLY MISS THAT!

Those songs; just reading the lyrics is oftentimes enough to send one into the stratosphere. As you mention, most of what passes for worship these days falls way short of these songs that were written out of genuine encounter with the Lord Jesus. We live in an age where oftentimes shallow jingles seem to be preferred over heartfelt songs of deliverance.

I’ll have to check out the link when I can. I just got home from work and it’s after 2:00am. Thanks for bringing this forth.

Blessings always in Jesus name.

It was not that long after being saved that I came to the conclusion that a pre-trib raprture was not Biblical. I spent countless hours researching where the idea came from. I discovered it was John Nelson Derby and the “Irivingites.” They used to have , what they called, prophecy conferences. It took place at Powerscourt mansion. Lady Powerscourt was one of the followers. They had very infuletial people in attendence. Iriving was a Scotsman and would be considered “Pentcostal,” today. In fact it was in Scotland, in a town named Port Glasgow that a young woman supposedly spoke in tongues and this is where we first hear the term “rapture,” which is an Egyptian occultic word for levitation. Anyway, Derby got nervous of Irving and split from him. Derby went on to found the Plymouth Brethren and later Scofield and others took up his teachings. Out of this eventually came Dallas Theological school and we see a birth of the dispensationalist movement, the strongest adherents to the pre-trib rapture. Strangely enough, many Pentecostal movements would be in line with the very consevative College. Indeed the Assemblies of God hold very strongly to the pre-trib rapture theory. This was a very thin summary of the pre-trib raprute movement but you can be rest assured that prir to the 1820s this had never been taught in 1900 years……..Frank

To quote a preacher of righteousness by the name of Ken Dewey:

Wow–I so feel for you. Like Frank said, Thank God you are coming out. I was talking to God about this a couple of days ago and I felt like He was saying to me that my own wilderness experience had been necessary because it was the only way to get me turned around from mistaken thinking about Him–the kind of legalism/theology/philosophy/religion thing I had believed was the essence of following Him. He expressed it as pushing the “reset” button.

I think your first verse is: Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

Maybe your second is: Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

It’s a wild guess, but the third is possibly a combination of: Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

And: Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Yes, we do need to search the scriptures for ourselves and have that individual relationship with God. We also need one another to have that community relationship with Him and with each other. I’m not talking about sitting through a “church service,” but about actively sharing our whole lives with one another. Not always easy to find, but absolutely worth seeking out in prayer and in the brothers and sisters around us. God’s richest blessings.

Love, Cindy
