Here are 3 words to with building the body of Christ.

I feel it is right to release them now.

The building site.

I can see that there is a firm foundation, The Word of God is the foundation, The Lord is the Rock.

I can see many stones upon this building site, Most are in piles waiting to be used.

These stones have names on them, The names of ministries, Ministries yet to come, People yet to come and be raised up and put in place by the Lord, For he is the master craftsman.

I can see the workers going about putting stone on stone, the names on the stones are, Pastors, Prophets, Teachers, Helps, Music, Youth and many more.

I can see the Teachers, Pastors, Prophets, Evangelists and Apostolic ministries, Their stones being put on the bottom on the foundation for these shall be supporting, helping the rest of the building, For the house of the Lord is built upon these ministries.

The roof will be the Glory of the Lord for the Glory of the Lord shall be your covering.

To help in this work more workers will be sent in to give detailed instruction in some areas, Pastors, Teachers, Prophetic and Apostolic people that will be invited to speak to your fellowships where ever you are, You will know who these are for you will have a word about who to invite. Also the Lord will give people within your fellowships abilities, Skill's like he did when the temple was built in the days of old.

The cement the holds the stones in place is prayer mixed with love, A living cement for the living stones.

This cement is not hard like natural cement for it moves with the building.

Everything in the building is alive, This building can move and change as need be for is not fixed in one form as natural buildings are.

From the windows I can see a great light, In fact the whole building is light.

Inside I can see a fountain with living water coming from it, This water flowing out from the building to water the land around it, Making it fruitful.

I can see people coming to eat the fruit of the trees and drink from the water coming from within.

This would apply to the body of Christ as a whole.

 

Build my house.

Build my house first, Then all things shall be added unto you.

Seek first the kingdom of God, Then all these things, The things that you seek in my name shall be added unto you.

Seek me first, Build my house first, For this is the will of my father in heaven.

Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, All your mind, All your strength.

Take up your cross day by day and follow me, For greater love has no man than he give up his life for another.

For he who gives up his life - Gives up his way for my kingdom, He will find life abundantly.

Repent, For only the meek and humble in heart will inherit the earth, For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these, Go build my house first says the Lord.

The church in general is doing its own thing, Not Gods, Even though it thinks it is doing God will.

It is using the worlds way of doing things, Programs, Agendas, Entertaining the people, All with good intentions.

But good intentions are no good, If you do not truly obey God and his Word.

For the world has enslaved much of the church without us even knowing about it. The culture of this world has taken over the church instead of the church taking the world for Christ.

We have to repent, For true repentance will lead to revival.

For if my people will humble themselves, Repent, Pray, And turn from their wicked ways, Then I will heal their lands says the Lord.

Repent, Deny the ways of the flesh, Take up your cross and follow me my people, For I am the way, The truth, The light, For I am your great shepherd Jesus Christ.

Obey the Holy Spirit - Not man.

The house.

From a dream.

It was of house that was being built, The house of the Lord, A house of prayer.

In this dream someone tried to set this house on fire by throwing a petrol bomb into the building.

We should be on guard for the enemy will try to destroy the house of prayer that the Lord is building around the world.

The enemy will try to do this by differences that we may have on how we should do things.

He will try to work on our differences of opinion, Our likes and dislikes.

The enemy will also try to use the differences in our personalities and the way we like to do things, He will try to get us murmuring against each other.

He will try to use our weaknesses that each of us have to do these things.

If he can get us to start dwelling on these things then he will have broken the unity that the Lord is bringing us into.

He would have set the house of the Lord, The house of prayer that the Lord is building here on fire with his petrol bomb.

So I would say to you to cover the house of the Lord - The house of prayer with prayer, For this will protect it from the plans of the enemy.

Pray all the more for the day of the Lord is much closer than you think.

Pray all the more for the work that we have to do and pray for each other, Bearing each other up before the Lord, Keeping short accounts with the Lord and each other.

Then the house of the Lord, The house of prayer will be built and the gates of hell will not be able to prevail against it, Will not be able to slow down the work by getting us to fight each other.
