Early this morning around 4:00 a.m., the Spirit of the Lord began to stir my spirit man. As I was awakened out of my sleep I was immediately in the Spirit, and I was standing on a very large beach with beautiful white sand and a stunning blue ocean. As I gazed down the beach I saw no one at all, but several yards down the beach I saw something in the sand. A very large object was there on the beach not too far from the ocean’s edge. As I walked toward the object it became clear that it was an enormous sand castle. An amazing piece of work with walls and towers and it even had a moat around it. The detail was immaculate. It probably stood 3 of 4 feet high and was about 10 feet in radius; you could tell that someone or even several had spent many hours constructing this fortress. As I stood and watched in just sheer amazement and admiring this work, I noticed the tide was starting to come in. I watched the waves fill the moat and begin washing over it and in just minutes the castle walls started to crumble and fall. As I watched the utter destruction of this amazing structure the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said, “This is the quality of many people’s prayer lives and relationship with me. It looks good on the outside, but on the inside there’s nothing to hold it together.” Then the Word of the Lord came to me,
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
As I pondered what I saw, I could see the Spirit of the Lord was showing me that many people’s relationship with God looks so good when looked at in the natural; but when adversity comes, there isn’t anything there to withstand the attack of the enemy. There isn’t a foundation laid and God’s people have been put together with un-tempered mortar.
Note: Study Ezekiel 13th chapter.
Ezek 13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: 11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. 17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
The Lord has been speaking for several weeks now that there’s a show down coming like the one on Mt. Carmel between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. There’s got to be a separation between the true and the false. A spirit of witchcraft, soothsaying, and a spirit of divination has infiltrated the church and has mingled itself with what started as the true anointing of the Spirit of God. The majority of the people in church can’t discern the difference. We’ve come to the place of purging, cleansing and great separation to purify and sanctify a people chosen to serve the Lord.
