Lanna Perry: Arise Church!
Oct 4, 2005

 

Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. – Isaiah 60:1

Church, it's time to wake up. It's time to get serious about seeking out the very heart of Jesus. It's time to Arise and Shine through knowing Jesus' heart.

Does not the body of Christ want to hear the heart of Jesus? Is it not such a miraculous and wonderful blessing to be able to hear the heart beat of God?

To truly know Jesus, the Almighty, and hear His voice, and live in fellowship with Him is God's greatest  desire for us. To be in relationship with Him.

Let us not be part of those who 'profess Christ, but do not come'.

Through my heart for the body of Christ and the church, the Lord showed me the following.

All of a sudden I find myself standing in a crowd of millions of people. Millions upon millions of people. All of us have shirts on that say "Jesus" across the front.

 

As I look around I can see millions of fruit trees in the midst of all the people, these trees all shapes and sizes.

All of a sudden Jesus appears before the crowd, and He says to the crowd, "Come Follow Me".

I step forward, along with very few others. I then follow Jesus with a group of others, maybe about 12.

As we are walking towards what seem to be huge white pearly gates, and I can hear the Spirit saying "So few will come. So few will come". I heard such grief and such sadness in the Spirit.

As I turned around and looked at the millions of people they were all eating from all the fruit trees. As I looked closer the fruits had different words on the fruit. "Materialism", "Money", "Self Fulfillment", "Pride", "Lusts", "Need for validation". Jesus again stopped and looked at them and said "Come follow Me" but they turned their backs and focused on what they were eating from the trees.

My heart was so grieved I could hardly breathe, but continued to follow Jesus through the gates. We were led into a beautiful garden. Full of beautiful fruit trees. These trees were nothing like what was outside. They glowed with a light that I had never seen.

Jesus went up to the trees and took fruit off them, and put them on a platter and brought them to us. We all ate and enjoyed. Jesus then led us to a great banquet table, where He said to us "this is what I have prepared for you. Eat and be merry. Taste and see that I am good". Sitting fellowshipping with Jesus Christ, was beyond what I can describe.

After this Jesus then took each of us one by one, and set us charge over a herd of sheep. Told us as we have been faithful, He has taken us further. We have counted the cost, so He is bringing increase.

The last scene of what I saw was Jesus' face as He kept saying over and over "So very few will come. So very few will come".
