Storm came up out of nowhere

This morning the Lord said we are now here!
About twenty years ago I had a dream. My husband and I were at my grandparent’s farm. They had many acres of woods which we used to love to walk in. On that particular day my husband and I decided to take a walk. When we started out I noticed a small dark cloud over the woods but it was so small and far away that we decided to not let that deter us. As we started walking to the tree line the cloud grew bigger and fiercer. It seemed like this storm came up out of no where and dangerously intensified by the minute. The wind started to really blow. At this point we were closer to the tree line than my grandparent’s home so we decided to head for the forest and take cover. Soon we were running for our life as swirling tornadoes formed and trees were being uprooted and flung through the air. The entire sky was the blackest black with sheets of rain and hail beginning to fall. When we arrived at the tree line we literally dove into the brush. At this point, we were just hoping to survive.
As we lay there terrified, I had a vision. In my vision, I was back in my grandfather’s barn in the tack room with its fortified walls. There were others there and we were singing and praying. A mattress was strategically placed over our heads. For some reason I knew we would be safe there no matter what.
My dream then shifted and this safe vision ended. I was back on the ground with my husband in the woods with the storm raging all around. Regrettably, I realized we had made some very serious, life-threatening mistakes by not discerning the intensity of the storm in time. At this point I kept saying over and over, we went to the wrong place. We went to the wrong place. We should be back at the barn in the tack room with the others. The last part of my dream, I am sitting by a radio and they are announcing a list of casualties. Someone asks me what I am doing and I reply, “I am listening to see if we made it through the storm.” Then, I woke up.
Here is the interpretation. There is a great storm coming.
“Because you have kept the word of My endurance [My command to persevere], I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the earth.” Rev. 3:10
Only those who go to the “right place” will be protected. What is the right place? The right place is the dwelling place of God.
“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22
“you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5
“For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 2 Cor. 6:16
RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! RIGHT NOW! THE CHURCH IS BEING BUILT INTO A HABITATION FOR GOD TO DWELL. IT IS CORPORATE. IT IS VOLUNTARY! IT WILL REQUIRE SACRIFICE! YOU WILL HAVE TO LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN! YOUR LIFE WILL NO LONGER BE BUSINESS AS USUAL! THE THINGS YOU ONCE SOUGHT – MONEY, VACATIONS, LEISURE, PLEASURES – WILL HAVE TO GO! GOD WANTS A PEOPLE HE CAN DWELL IN! A PEOPLE HE CAN POSSESS! A PEOPLE WHERE IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME! WHAT IS THE OUTCOME? GOD’S GLORY! GOD’S PRESENCE! WE WILL CARRY HIS PRESENCE! THE FORTIFIED WALLS IN THE TACK ROOM SIGNIFIED A DWELLING PLACE. THE MATTRESS COVERING US SIGNIFIED THE PRAYER COVERING (INCENSE) OF THE SAINTS.
“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” MARK 11:17
Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
BECOME GOD’S DWELLING PLACE! BECOME THE HOUSE OF PRAYER! IN THIS HOUR, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE OF PROTECTION. OUTSIDE OF THIS YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT. HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR…
PEOPLE, GET INTO POSITION!
