PRAISE THE LORD.
Greetings to you all in the Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings Lord of Lords.
And a very warm welcome to you all to TELL-A-VISION
Before I begin, I’d like to share this Scripture for our encouragement.
PSALM 27
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
Vision: Land That Plane !
I saw in a vision months back, those who had been used of God to expose the deception, flying in large aircrafts. The people on the plane were those who had long before left churches / ministries that preached the false and the compromising.
The pilots were those who had been as a voice crying in the wilderness, warning of deceptions when few were listening, or when they who listened had not been willing to believe. Also they had brought warnings to the Body of Christ when it had not been 'fashionable' to do so, rather it had been dangerous.
Now whilst some planes had landed in green places, and the people were quietly going about their work, some of the leaders who were flying these planes, which were yet in mid-air, got involved in all the arguments and discussions by the passengers and instead of landing the plane were hovering in the air.
Down below the sewers had burst and there was a flood of filth on the ground. False teachers and preachers were clutching on to anything they could find, to survive. Many had been swept away by the flood.
The planes filled with the people who had separated themselves from the filth, were meant to be in the air, only until, a safe and clean landing place was found.
I saw that the floods from the sewers had receded a little in some places.
The pilots and the passengers knew long before that the sewers would burst and that God would take them to a safe place away from the filth, as their hearts were grieved at the gross violation and twisting of God's word by such preachers.
And just as prophesied the sewers had burst, but instead of focusing on the place where God intended them to land, they were busy discussing the fate of the preachers caught down below in the flood caused by the bursting of the sewers.
On the ground there were many God had raised up and they were shouting last minute warnings to those around that they must come away from those places where the sewers would burst.
Strangely, I was reminded within this vision of another vision I saw last year.
in vision, I saw a group of ministers/leaders in Atlanta, U.S.A., who were reporting thefts. They themselves would engineer the robbery, and steal the valuables, and then come innocently before the media and police and shout: “the thieves must be caught. We want to see justice done”.
Not all shouting warnings and ‘lodging’ complaints had been appointed by God. There were those who shouted, because of their own craftiness and hidden agendas.
Now:
Returning to this vision:
Now down below it seemed that every sound minded person was warning the people to take care, and to get away from those areas where the sewers were bound to burst.
A safe and clean landing place was now in full view, but the pilots of the planes flying low in mid air, were in heated discussions with the passengers, as regards the false preachers, trapped in the floods, they wanted to shout more warnings from the plane to those down below, but did not understand that their time to shout warnings was over. God was moving them on to another work.
Down below God had raised up many to shout out the nth hour warnings.
The immediate work for those pilots now was to land those planes. But having lost focus, they saw not the landing strip.
Then suddenly on the pilots radio came the urgent cry: “land that plane land that plane land that plane”.
The pilots realized their folly and repented. They now saw the landing strips which were in luscious green places.
And as per instructions, they landed the planes on landing strips located in luscious green places.
I saw that those who had landed immediately on seeing the landing strips, and not hovered aimlessly in the air, in futile discussions, were going about their work of settling into this new place with their teams.
For quite sometime, the lord had used them in hostile environments to shout out warnings of deception.
Now they found that they had left behind that environment and were now in a clean and safe place. Yet suddenly for a split moment the people felt lost, a sudden quietness was upon them. What work were they to do now? Messages concerning deceptions in the Body, in the past, had come to them fast and furious, but now for that split moment they felt that God had stopped speaking to them. And yet, strangely, they knew without a doubt that God had expanded their territory.
Now for a brief moment their minds began to wander. As they looked at the vastness of the place they were in, they suddenly felt that if they were to develop the land around them, to make room for other escapees from the sewer floods, who were yet to join them, they would need vast resources. That is, they thought that if they were to continue to do God's work in a big way……… they would need money.
Now they were puzzled and perplexed. They wondered if they should print brochures and flyers much like those fallen ministers had, and ask people for financial help.
They felt that their need was genuine after all how could God's work be done without money?
Barely had they entertained such thoughts that they began to repent. They knew that God's work was not accomplished by money but by loving obedience and faith.
As they repented of even entertaining such thoughts they were filled with a blessed assurance that God would provide, in his way, in his time.
The sudden quietness though at first it seemed unbearable, after all the activity that they had just come from, now was welcome. Many relationships with people who had been sent to bless and encourage them in ministry in the early days, seemed as if to end abruptly. New divine connections, more skilled to help in this hour arrived to replace the old.
Day by day moment by moment they now understood that a 'conversion' was taking place within them. From the hard hitting Jeremiah-type messages they were now to convert to the Zechariah type messages. They were to build. Like Barnabas they were to be encouragers to those who had escaped, like leaders who had encouraged Jews to build after the captivity, these modern day leaders were to encourage and teach others just as Ezra had done, to follow the biblical pattern of building.
I saw that these who alighted from the plane, understood that they had in the past, in obedience, due to the desperate times spoken forth with godly speed all that the Lord had laid on their hearts to tell people. They had for a long period only gone to the Lord for the next message and to talk to Him about their day to day challenges.
Now they realized that though they had delivered forth the God Given dreams, the visions, the prophecies to others, they themselves now needed envisioning.
The future looked bigger than they had understood. Some were realizing God was calling them into the ministry full time, and were leaving their work places to fully give their all to serving their Master Jesus Christ, King of Kings Lord of Lords. Whilst others once they understood why they were there, were given tents and tent-making tools by angels, and divinely taught tent-making skills. All understood that the situation they were in was fluid, ever changing, and that they must be ever alert to change, as per the directions they received from the Holy Spirit.
The tent making ministers and full time ministers were being taught ‘on the job’ so to speak, a right attitude towards money. When to accept money and when to refuse it for God’s Glory. There would be times when they would have money offered to them, and they would refuse others and as Abraham did, say to the potential donors, ‘lest you should say I made Abram rich’. Or like King David, say, ‘I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing’. And like Elisha, refusing the gifts of Naman that God be Glorified, saying ‘I will receive nothing’.
As I watched on, I saw these God lovers, full of zeal going about doing the work of God with joyfulness of heart and examining everything closely, lest they stumbled. At times they looked as if they erred on the side of caution, but their salvation meant so much to them, they were working out their salvation with fear and trembling, moving boldly but with godly caution. They valued their salvation and understood that they had too much to lose, and did not want to displease God.
As I saw what salvation in Christ Jesus meant to these, and how they were working out their salvation with fear and trembling, it touched me to the core of my being and I wept uncontrollably.
What I believe the lord is saying:
The baton, as it were, of speaking against deception and things false in the church is being passed on to the masses, now in a deafening chorus many will speak up. Even unbelievers will point out to the ungodly goings on in Christendom.
Those who had had a mandate to speak/ to tear down in more hostile times, will have to yield to this ‘conversion’ this change to be moved on to consolidate/to build. The tearing down and the building up will seem to be happening simultaneously. It is not that the God lovers will stop warning on deceptions, but the focus for such as these in the vision, is BUILDING UP.
I understood within the vision that the temptation to be anxious about money will be great, for those who serve the Lord.
Beware the Gehazis who will run after Namans to extract money and gifts, in your name.
Elisha understood the times, and he said to Gehazi in 2 Kings 5: 26b
Is it time to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?
There is a time to receive gifts and there is a time to refuse gifts.
Elisha who served the Living God understood the difference.
Do we?
