Vision of the Wave
The Changing Church Part 5
_
The sea looked calm, but gray and ominous. There was a feeling of rising, pent up anger just waiting to surface. Something was about to happen—to explode—as the Holy Spirit seemed to brood over the waters as He did in the beginning: “. . . and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2, KJV).
Vision of the Muddy River
The Changing Church Part 4
_
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. (Psalms 46:4)
What can the psalmist be saying in this 46th chapter of the Psalms? Perhaps, he saw a similar vision — much more enhanced and infinitely inspired. It is interesting, in the light of the fourth vision given to me, to reflect on the river versus the stream. Why doesn’t the river cause gladness as the streams do?
Vision of the Camp of the Lord
The Changing Church Part 3
_
Spread upon many hills, lie God’s people—in tents and under the open sky—asleep, every one. It looked rather like an army camp sprawling largely under a dark night sky.
Vision of the Separation of Sheep
The Changing Church Part 2
_
The second vision echoes the first. It actually says the same thing—separation in the body of Christ—with a different twist. This version tells the reason why we, as the Lord’s Church, are being divided; why the mother and child are torn apart.
Vision of the Man-Child
The Changing Church Part 1
_
Do you know the Church is pregnant? Have you heard? The Church is with child! As in the coming birth of John the Baptist, those around the hill country of Judea exclaimed: “What manner of child shall this be?!” (Luke 1:66).
