Look, I completely understand, it cannot be easy hearing
that something you’ve believed so strongly all of your life
is not something God taught or desired in His wife
There are times when the deception you’ve walked in
will leave you flat out astonished
but better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king
who will no longer be admonished!
Really, it’s much better to humble yourself
than to have God do it for you
Give up your resistance to the occupation of the Holy Spirit inside
Give up your preoccupation with all that is a lie
Give up all that comes from pride
Let the Holy Spirit examine all you’ve received and believed
And let Him prune from your existence all that has you deceived
May you be delivered at God’s insistence
From all that is of the devil or man
(the two work hand in hand)
May you be cleansed and renewed in the spirit of your mind
May clarity and purity of doctrine be yours time after time


Isa:8:5-9
Ecc:4:13


As The Lord began to open the eyes of my understanding, He showed me many churches and denominations haven’t been built on the proper foundation, haven’t been built by Him. He wanted me to be moved with compassion for ministers and ministries He is judging, weighing in the balances and found wanting. So He gave me a dream. In it, I was standing against the wall on the second floor of a very large room. I was there to observe what was happening. The floor was one big jig saw puzzle. Many people were panicking and running to and fro with no sense of order at all because the pieces were falling out of it, creating gaping holes. Some were trying to fit pieces where they didn’t belong, creating more panic and confusion. It was quickly becoming a huge mess and more and more dangerous and unstable. This is a picture of churches trying to hold themselves together even as God is tearing them apart. Remember Jeremiah’s call, he had to tear down and uproot before he could build and plant. If you have been walking in another spirit, if you have been growing up crooked, God will do whatever it takes to set you straight but it will be painful. And those of us God is using to help and heal those who need to be corrected must always be motivated by love and compassion. There are many currently in ministry that shouldn’t be and there are many that are not that should be.
