2 VISIONS – THE PRISON CAMP – SHEEP PEN.

Last night ( Tuesday 19^th June 2001.) I saw this old world war 2 prison camp before me.

I could see the guard towers – Barbed wire – The dogs – Guards with guns and the huts that the prisoners live in.

Many fellowships and denominations are like spiritual prison camps – They keep the people locked up with the Guards of Doctrine – These Guards are armed with the Guns of Religion that Fire Bullets of Misquoted Scriptures and have the Dogs of Legalism at their sides.

These Guards keep their prisoners locked up in the Huts of Denominationalism where they are kept hungry and cold.

If anyone tries to escape or questions this system they are sent to the cooler for a time correction and punishment.

The hard thing about this is the guards think that they are protecting the people with all this  -  But are really keeping them locked up  - And most people believe this right because they have told that this for their own safety  - That they are being protected from their enemies.

Many had been brainwashed in this way of thinking by the teachers of mans agendas.

But in their hearts knew that something was not right but did not know why.

Then I saw an army terrible with banners invade that land  -  Advance and set the prisoners free.

At first some were frightened by this but soon realised that everything was ok when their wounds were bound up and healed  -  When they were given good food and wine to eat and drink  - Many had never had this good food before – Food of the Word – Wine of the Spirit.

There was so much joy as the people were rejoined with their families  - Just like VE day at the end of the second world war in Europe  - Much dancing on the streets of freedom  -  Going from house to house  - Eating Bread  - Drinking Wine.

The second vision was of a sheep pen where the sheep were being forced into a space that is to small for them  -  The sheep were trampling and hurting each other because of this  - The shepherd was using a sharp stick to force the sheep into that place – All around I could see dogs barking at the sheep.

The sheep that were ill and hurt were just killed with no compassion or mercy shown them – Even the ones that suspected of being ill but were not are killed as well – Just like happened with foot and mouth disease in the UK recently.

Then these words came to me.

For whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

For where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty.

For I am coming to liberate my people from the yoke of oppression – To lead them into pastures new  -  Coming to bind up their wounds  - Coming to heal them.

For I AM the good shepherd and my sheep will know my voice.
