God’s Judgment On The Unrepentant Church- The Removal of Their Lampstand And The Swallowing Up Of The Destroyed Church
July 06/24 and July 22/24 mon evgs
Part 1
I was praising the Lord Jesus in the Throne Room to Steffany Gretzinger- https://youtu.be/pveuLGdpKCc?si=-b6puGrtLIgZ9RFj, Sandi Patty- No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus https://youtu.be/P1TxJHlGdcw?si=sf9wINPrGRAp67f0, Jen Johnson and Cece Winans- Holy Forever – https://youtu.be/VhdAZ2aQtBk?si=JcIzXcU89kFljnXz I began praying for all the issues on my heart, in the natural and in the spirit.
VISION: I usually go to the familiar stream but today, I’m by a waterfall in an area that I’ve been many times before. It’s a mountain area, full of wildflowers where a large sequoia tree that I planted as a sapling years back, has grown quite tall now. Beside the tree, sits a park-like bench facing the valley and mountains across from it. Beyond the field of flowers is a cliff that rises before a valley below with a river that flows through it. Across from this area is a mountain and mountain range. Today, Jesus and I were walking along the ridge that goes past the field of wildflowers that is parallel to the valley, and I came to a waterfall that cascaded down the cliff. He took my hand and we jumped! Oooh! We landed safely below where the water fell into a large pool that fed the river that ran through the valley. God was there as a large Lion, (bigger than Aslan) standing near the pool of water. I bowed low before Him and Jesus. Then The Lord God rested on His belly and I knew I could approach Him. I sat on leg and just waited for Him in His Presence.
My perspective changed and I found myself sitting in a boating float tube and Jesus pushed me down the stream. My perspective changed again. From the tube that I was floating on, I saw my white horse that I usually ride after I meet Jesus at the regular stream. He was eating fresh grass with other white horses near a structure that had stalls and a place for them to rest as well. I knew they were resting up and getting ready to return for battle. Even the horses need rest!
INTERPRETATION: I was reminded of Ps 36:7-9 “How precious, God, is Your grace! People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings, they feast on the rich bounty of Your house and You have them drink from His stream of delights. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your Light, we see Light.” I knew in my spirit that it’s ok to have fun and rest to be restored. It’s very important to take that time to prevent overwhelming weariness and leave the assignments God has called or worse, leave the ministry. The enemy would like nothing more than to see us fall and not get back up.
VISION: I went straight to the vision area. I sensed that I could take a break but I spent the time in praise and prayer and asked if there was something I could see. I was in the area I’m always in where the others have already gathered in front of the screen. The vision opened up to see God’s mighty hand come out of the heavens just above a church. His hand made a fist and it suddenly came smashing down on top of that church. It was shocking! Beside the destroyed church was a lampstand which looked much like a menorah but it had a bowl in the middle with one flame. (see previous vision #348). I noticed this flame was barely burning. Then God’s fist opened up and I saw His pointy finger together with His thumb extinguish the flame and it smoldered. He then removed the lampstand. And the church was left like ruins. It was a very sad moment to witness.
INTERPRETATION: I understood that the church represents the global church and not just one in particular. It is a warning for the church; those who refuse to repent of their sin after many warnings and opportunities, will be judged and the flame of their lampstand will be extinguished never to be lit again. Rev 2:4-5 “But I have this against you: you have lost the love you had first. Therefore, remember where you were before you fell, turn from this sin and do what you used to do before. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your menorah/lampstand from its place- if you don’t turn from your sin!”
Jesus said, “Some churches are marked for destruction as they have become spiritually dead to Me. I Am no longer there. They have refused to repent so I have given them over to their sin and to their master, satan, who rules them.”
Jesus gave me Prov 6:15 “Therefore, his calamity will come suddenly; instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.”
And Prov 29:1 “He who remains stiff-necked after much rebuke will be suddenly and incurably broken.”
Rom 1:24 “Therefore God gave them over to the lusts of their hearts…”
1 Peter 4:17 “For it is time for judgment to begin in the household of God; and it begins with us…” This is a hard and sobering truth. And woe to the false teachers of the church that lead sheep astray! Jer 23:1-3, Matt 18:6, Is 9:16, Matt 15:14, James 3:1.
“Marked for destruction” can mean literally as the building may be burned, flooded or damaged physically somehow. It is also possible for those churches’ doors may have been or will be closed because of a lack of attendance or financial issues etc., never to open again as the church that was. Or maybe God will remove corrupt leadership and the sheep may scatter.
Jesus said: “When I extinguish the light from a church’s menorah, My Light is gone;
I AM no longer there and I will not return.”
The flame in the lampstand represents God’s Light and Presence in that church- that He dwells there- just like the glory cloud in the first tabernacle of the Exodus revealed His Presence with the Israelites. It also reveals that God recognizes that they belong to Him. So if He removes the flame, it’s removing His Light; His Presence, His dwelling there and it is final. That’s worth weeping over.
What condition does a church have to be in order that Jesus considers it spiritually dead to Him, that He is no longer there and won’t return? What does that church look like?
That is a good question. The Lord reminded me of Sodom and Gomorrah in Gen 19 as examples. I would encourage the reader to search this out in God’s Word. For starters, read Is 30:15, 2 Tim 4:3-4, Rom 1:22-28 and Rev 2 and 3 regarding the warnings to the seven churches will be very helpful.
Let the truth tellers arise! And may the Lord give them Holy Spirit boldness to speak the truth in love to those who have been deceived. For those who are being deceived right now, may the Lord open their hearts to receive the truth and repent.
I have had previous visions regarding warnings to the church and the lampstand/menorah flame:
#348 -The 3 golden lampstands of the church- one flame barely burning, one that had just gone out and one that flickered brightly.
#375 -Return to your first love
#376 -Purge of the church/#390 Jesus sweeping the steps of the church
#383 -Warning of hidden jezebel in the church
#398, 399 God shaking the church to its foundations/7 mtns – the church mtn shaking
