Sheila shared a dream she had. Pastor Steve was in a room filled with darkness. People came in carrying candleabras wrapped in white cloth. The room then filled with light. Here is what the Lord spoke to me.
The darkness speaks of the dark state the church is in. The candleabras are menorahs. The Lord spoke to me of the menorah formed by Isaiah 11:1-2. Isaiah gives the seven attributes of the Spirit upon Messiah. Jesus is the center or servant candle, the branch, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. The menorah symbolizes our Jewish roots of the faith. It is wrapped in burial cloth because in general the Christian church has been seperated or cut off from our Biblical roots. God is bringing light to the church through his Spirit. Without the illumination of the Spirit of God we are in darkness. His desire is to be worshiped in spirit and truth. The Biblical Jewish pattern is worshiping and acknowledging God and placing Him first in a total commitment, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. (Part of the Greco-Roman perspective is worshiping or acknowledging God only at certain times.)
Recently I had a vision where the Lord held a pottery vase in front of me and smashed it with a hammer. He told me he was doing a new thing. ”For I am about to do a brand new thing. See I have already begun.”Isa 43:19. Each week He has given me one instruction to do. The first one was to get a menorah and light it each Sabbath which begins Friday evening. Sheila’s dream was a confirmation for me.
Lord I pray that you would give us all the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, and the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
