Take it to the streets

I had a dream recently that I believe God is a message for the bride of Christ in these days about what is to come. In this dream I was at a wedding reception. This wedding reception was in the streets of a neighborhood. The street was blocked off and people were celebrating right in the street. They were simple people having a good time. I noticed there was another wedding reception happening next door in a large upscale house. This reception was indoors. As I was socializing with these beautiful people I noticed that a rabbit was running around. Then as I was observing the rabbit a man came from next door, dressed fine and looking very together. He complained because our group was blocking the road and distracting people from getting to his party. I did not understand this since the cars of his guests were also blocking the street.

In the days to come there will be many shifts in the people of God and the way we do church. It will become more "organic" and outside of the walls of the buildings. It will be joyful and life giving and will result in much fruit. It is time to take the word to the streets.

As this happens there will be those who are upset because it interferes with their agenda. Religious spirits will complain that this new way conflicts with their programs. It is important not to be persuaded by them. They look like they have their act together, but they are filled with hypocrisy. Follow the Spirit.

This dream reminds me of the parable of the virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). All of them were preparing for a wedding, all of them had lamps, yet only some of them had oil in their lamps. There are many who have lamps, as if they could be shining the light, but they have no power to actually shine, and their religion is empty. Jesus said this was because they did not watch. It is time to shine the light of Christ again. There are those who have acquired the oil of the Spirit who will bear fruit in their cities and regions. There are other who will b found with no oil in their lamps. To them the Master will say, "I never knew you."
