The Empty Room in the Church

A Dream

I had a dream that I was in the church with men and woman of all ages. We had just gotten out of a wonderful worship service and were all headed towards the fellowship area of the church. At first the men and woman were hanging out together, then they split up. I did not go with the rest of the woman, at first, I had found a small cozy room with a bed, lamp and bible in it and chose to stay in there. The men went one place; and the woman went into another very large area.

After a short while, I put my Bible down and got up and went and visited the others. I saw the men standing around in the kitchen. They were all very nice to me and even tried to engage me in conversation. Then as I walked on I found the woman. They were all in a very large room that looked very much like a closet, which was loaded with hanging clothes. They were all pulling out outfits that were hanging on the closets poles, one by one, and discussing whose they were and going further to discuss the person themselves.

I stood there at first, in an almost state of unbelief, then I actually joined in…..bringing up the ungodly way we have allowed our children to dress themselves. Then I felt uncomfortable as all eyes were on me. So I left their company and began walking back to my comfortable room with the bed and lamp and Bible….I passed the men in the kitchen who offered me something to drink and some more conversation. I took a cup of water and kept going. I didn’t make it to my room because I saw a different room on my way. A room I hadn’t noticed before, in the church. The door was open and the room was empty, so I went in. It was a simple room with simple enough carpet. Nothing on the walls. I do remember the walls were the same color as the carpet, chocolate or earthy.

There was an altar….it was a step that went completely across the room; and above the altar there was a window the entire wall size. ….I walked in the room and walked down to the step (altar) and sat down. I just sat there and thought to myself, “I never even knew this room was here before. It’s never been used. It’s like new. It’s old…the style is old…but it’s like new.” At that I laid down and started to take a nap and I saw something out of the corner of my eye…..there was a door to my left. (facing the altar to the right) it seemed to open some, and I noticed a few things in front of it. I wasn’t afraid….just a bit apprehensive, I didn’t want to leave, at all…..and I still wanted to take a tiny nap, so I reached over and took the things and placed in front of the door…so nothing would come through while I was asleep.

There was a Green Fern Fawn

A Large Gold Ring

A Simple Chair

A Old Pair of Shoes

A String of Fruit; that actually looked like jewels.

Of course this didn’t keep the door from opening…… and this got my attention….

I went over to try and secure the door and this is what I heard.

"This is your new Room/Ministry

Where I am leading you…away from the masses…to a quiet place…to seek my face and hear my voice…to know me.

Come out from among them and be ye separate.

Do not partake in things I find detestable!

Lying. Bearing false witness. Building yourself up.

The time has come to become as I AM.

Do you not wish this?

Come away with me.

Offer yourself as a living sacrifice…pure and Holy and acceptable to Me and see

The Glory of your God Arise upon your life and the fruit of My Glory bring life everlasting to those around you!"

When I awoke….I realized I was being asked to walk a different walk….and being taken to a new place with the Lord.

*********************** ************* *********************************

This was four or so years ago (I had this dream in 2006) and my life has most certainly been through insurmountable challenges….my faith tested beyond what I ever expected and the entirety of who I am/was has changed dramatically both inside and out.

I know my maker deeper. I know my God more intimately. I love my Lord more intensely, more passionately than I ever have in my entire life and I now need Him more than I ever have before.

Born a slave to sin through the curse I was given the great gift of choice by my blessed Holy Father God….and when HE found me….I choice to follow him. Now, after so many years; now after so many tears; now after all I have lived through; after all the Lord has seen me through…the fires the floods and the tribulations of abandonment and betrayal. The broken hearts, the broken promises and disappointments. Having gone through this life with Yeshua never leaving me….never forsaking me…always there by my side….seeing me through. When everyone else left me.When everyone else gave up on me….when everyone else had refused to see anything good in me… Yeshua…was faithful.

~ and ~ Because He was faithful through it all.

I have come to a place in my life....walk...relationship with Him (Yeshua/Jesus) that I truly feel I now have NO CHOICE.

I couldn't possibly walk away from the Lord if I tried.

THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR ME.
