I saw a vision

In fact it is quite a common experience. People when you say vision conjure up pictures of creatures flying through the air and horses with wings etc. but visions usually are of everyday things and within our comprehension. I was at an "Intercessors for Britain" prayer meeting and some dear old Anglican prayer warriors were praying about a scandal which had blown up involving some high ranking politicians, dear old things "Oh Lawd" they cried in their middle class accents, "it is so awful how that these beastly people are trying to destroy the fabric of society, will You not take up the matter and bring about a solution to this situation" You may laugh, but they were in earnest, I believe God reads the hearts of His people. While they were praying I saw as it were an old antique sideboard as though I was stood in front of it, I marvelled at it's structure and it's ornate woodwork and design, surely it has stood like that for 200 years and more...solid, ornate, a thing of wealth. Substancial Suddenly I was looking at it from the side, and I was surprised to see that behind the façade it was held together by very modern looking screws with shiny new heads, they looked out of place on such a grand piece of furniture but nevertheless they seemed more than adequate to do the job they were doing in holding the piece together. Then suddenly the top screw undid as if by an invisible drill and the thread was visible It was green with corrosion and rust and rotting away, about to break. When those screws did break the whole piece would collapse into a heap. I knew in an instant the true state of British society and how inevitable it's fate. Of course not British society only but Europe....and the United states. When the collapse comes, will you be ready?

”Oh Lord!"

NWO?

[Act 2:17]

Joe 2:28 Visions are simple for the youngins. Dreams are deeper for the old folks (assuming they have been led by the spirit).

As a reminder Lazy Afternoon is number 11 on Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in "The 'Jesus is not God' people (Non-trinitarians) category.

It is possible if the spirit of God dwells in you.

Maybe even if one is not indwelled by the Holy Spirit. It's not about entertainment. It's about getting people saved. If you believe God is trying to speak to you--post the vision or dream here. Maybe we can help members figure out what it means. Or, you had too much pepperoni last night.

I believe all visions and prophetic utterances are for the body and are to be weighed and judged by the body, I trust their judgment.
The Spirit can communicate to us any way he'd like.

Many of these church leaders were never called by the Lord to be such.  Those many who "choose" the ministry as a profession were never called.
And they reject the spiritual power gifts ... because they don't have any!

"Ouch." ~ E.T.

Simply, this disastrous doctrine of cessationism has continued until now.

...Until now. The fact is--many Muslims in the Middle East are having dreams and visions. God is still passing by.

I was called a liar. But what would I have to gain from making up this story? if TOL were Pentecostal friendly I suppose but it isn't.

There are folks on TOL who I admire for their theology and their bible knowledge and sometimes their plain good common sense, there are those who I would like to be friends with, there are those who I wish would appreciate me. But because I refuse to lie, which to deny the working of the Holy Ghost and His gifts in my life would be to dishonour Him and lie.

I must testify what I know to be true.

In doing so I lose their esteem, they mock and cajole, this is also true in real life.

 

Not me. We are not to forbid these things (Joe 2:28, 1 Co 14:39). Should we do that, we borderline on blasphemy (Mt 12:31).

Liar's spend most of their lives deceiving themselves. Other people are simply bystanders.

Your bible is just a study book...my bible is alive. It speaks to what I have and what I experience. Yours only speaks to what they had and experienced 2, 000 years ago.

He's the I am not the I was or I'm going to be. Many passages of scripture have compound meanings.

I'm reminded of David using a modern cart to carry the ark of the covenant. Seemed reasonable to him, but it wasn't the way to do it. Someone was killed over it. David sought the Lord, and the word was "sanctify the Levites"

Similar to the modern screws holding the chest of draws together. Modern doesn't mean better, and can be worse.
Also Jesus said, "no one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Modern on old doesn't always mix well.

The new garment is the robe of righteousness.

See:

Why did God strike Uzzah dead for touching the Ark of the Covenant?
