"HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR"
"HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR"
Last night as Dhyan was praying for Annabella (our 5 year
old) at bedtime, she stopped him and said, "Dad, Jesus is talking to
me." So He said,"Ok , then listen to what He is saying." This
morning August 13, 2013) she told me, "Mom! I forgot to tell you, Jesus was talking to me
last night! He said, "I am coming soon, so prepare." She didn't know what those words meant so she asked Him,
"What does prepare mean?" He didn't answer her back, but she told me
today. This is the very word He spoke to me 3 years ago, "Prepare",
and to several others. At night I got before the Lord as my heart was heavy. I
had talked to a few people, sharing this word with them, and though it
resonated there is the question of what does that mean specifically. I feel the
Lord has shown me that our heart is what He is looking at, that we cannot be
consumed with busyness, apathy, compromise and false teachings that promote
nothing but self. He has been speaking to me about the times we are in and that
if we understood we wouldn’t be going on as “business as usual”, trying to
establish ourselves, like they did with the tower of babel, saying, “Come, let
us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven,
and let us make for ourselves a name…”, isn’t this the same spirit we see in
operation today! Instead we should be crying out in repentance, preparing
ourselves and Gods people. Instead of preaching prosperity, favor, blessing and
establishing ourselves we instead preached: prepare, give away, don't store up
treasures, repent, return to your first love, get your homes spiritually in
order, look for His coming. As He reminded me of all of this I still continued
to petition the Lord for a specific understanding. Two nights later I had the
following dream.
Dream 8/15/13
Dreamt a woman was getting married, renewing her vows. We
were all rushing around trying to get ready for this wedding, but there was
such a frustration because her closest friends/sisters knew she was in the
middle of a divorce and it was a big show she was putting on for the people. I
was getting frustrated because I began to think about the money spent, the time
put into all of this, the effort and it was all a facade. I asked her,” aren’t you
guys getting divorced, I don’t understand?” She said, “yeah but people don’t
know that and everyone is expecting this”. So everyone continued running around saying
“get read, get ready”. Meanwhile she was “getting ready” so she could go out to
her husband make a false proclamation of her love and devotion, when beneath
all the false words, and dress, she had a heart of adultery and divorce.
In light of the prophetic word that the Holy Spirit has been
giving, “prepare”, and get ready, I thought this was a sobering picture of the
church condition. I asked the Lord for interpretation and this is what He
showed to me: A church who says they are ready, but it’s a facade. Their heart
is a heart of divorce and adultery toward God and not one of a bride in love.
But they were doing the whole show on the outside (white-washed), spending the time, spending the money and putting a “show” on for the people. It was a picture of a busyness and a heart of divorce and adultery with an outside appearance of the “right” thing (white-washed). This is a picture of the American "church"...all these programs, all these teachings, all these “prophetic words”, things that do nothing but elevate and honor "self" and God is only included to hook a blessing , favor and an unarguable authority to our SELF agendas. Blessings, favor, prosperity, peace is the false prophetic word. It is what we want to hear but this is not what God is saying. The “prophets” and “apostles” are honoring God with their lips and saying the “right” things, yet God sees beneath the white wash and sees the heart. Then I was reminded immediately of this verse:

The “prophets” and “apostles” are honoring God with their lips and saying the “right” things, yet God sees beneath the white wash and sees the heart. Then I was reminded immediately of this verse:
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8“ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.”
I called my father to tell him the dream and he said it confirmed for him what the Lord was showing him in Ezekiel a few nights earlier. He pointed me to chpt 13.
Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration, ‘Listen to the word of the Lord! 3 Thus says the Lord God, “Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing. 4 O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins. 5 You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord. 6 They see falsehood and lying divination who are saying, ‘The Lord declares,’ when the Lord has not sent them; yet they hope for the fulfillment of their word. 7 Did you not see a false vision and speak a lying divination when you said, ‘The Lord declares,’ but it is not I who have spoken?” 8 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am against you,” declares the Lord God. 9 “So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord God. 10 It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash; 11 so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. A flooding rain will come, and you, O hailstones, will fall; and a violent wind will break out. 12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, ‘Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’” 13 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath. 14 So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash; and I will say to you, ‘The wall is gone and its plasterers are gone, 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace,’ declares the Lord God.
The prophets and priests had not prepared a people, instead they whitewashed over the cracks in the wall to make it appear that it was a solid wall; they misled the people with their false prophecies. The Lord God Himself said He would destroy this. Likewise, the Lord God Himself will also destroy the false system of “church” that has not prepared the people, and bring it down to its foundation to lay bare. He sees the heart. Ask Him to reveal your heart to you…
