January 6, 2014:
I originally started writing this on December 22, 2012, now over a year's past. It was the day after I had an extremely disturbing prophetic dream, which I believe was a glimpse into the hidden status of The Church. It really speaks to the greater whole, and where we are as humanity, wooed into the world in search of an easier and less narrow road; where accountability and judgement is something one thinks about too late, and immediate gratification is what one thinks about too often.
Romans 13:11-14
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The vivid dream that I had made my heart grieved and incredibly repulsed, though I was not shocked to see what I did. As deeply troubling as it was, I knew that the spirit of this particular bondage I was being shown had been slithering into the beliefs and conduct of so many, even the most charismatic and predominant leaders in the Body. It sets its sight on the willing. That is all that it needs to root down, manipulate, and woo others on to do the same.
Beloved, stop and read this with seriousness and due petition of your mind, soul, and spirit. We are in a time where the LORD will show us His heart in great detail when we ask Him for this insight. We have left the time of being passive and on the fence with our morals; of which, the inward and the outward must agree and be pure in His sight. I give you this warning - what He may show you may take you into seeing places you have not experienced previously, but it is all with the Fatherly love and hope that we choose to allow ourselves to be changed, refined, and set free from any and all bondage we have fallen in to.
I have been asking the Lord to see at a greater measure with His eyes, hear at a greater measure with His ears, and love at a greater measure with His heart. I've also asked for increased and strategic dreams, along with the revelation of what the dreams mean.
