THE FISH - vision for the body.

I could see many shoals of fish swimming about in the sea.

Each shoal was of a different type of fish, Also Different in colour.

The shoals of fish were swimming closer and closer together until they all came together in one big shoal of fish.

This big shoal of fish was now made up many different types of fish.

This new big shoal of fish that was now made up of many different types of fish all swam off together in the same direction.

The shoal of fish is big, It is unstoppable, It is sweeping all before it, Nothing can stop them because they are together as one, Together they are strong.

When the fish are moving together as one they look like gold Because of the Light of the Sun ( Son ) reflecting off them. You cannot see the different colours any more because they are one.

This is what the Lord is going to do and has already started to do amongst his people.

Each shoal of fish represents one of congregations in the body Christ.

Each congregation has something different that the Lord has given them.

When they are all together in unity all the different Gifts that the Lord has given them will compliment each other so that they can be used as they should to build up and help the whole body as the Lord intended.

That I saw shoals of fish is significant because I believe that one of the first Christian symbols was the sign of the fish.

In natural world shoals of fish of different species do not readily mix.

For many years the church has been like this, Not mixing very well like natural shoals of fish.

This coming together will be one of the signs that The Lord is making his people ready for Revival, Ready For his coming again.
