“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award me on that day; and not only to me on that day; but also all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4: 6-8
This week I’m so excited to share with you a vivid dream I had that speaks into the prophetic time we’re in. I’ve noticed revelatory dreams will have a certain “feel” or “atmosphere” with them. Particularly, this dream was permeated with the presence of the “Jealousy of God”.
Before I share the dream, I want to highlight how important it is that we lay the proper foundation in our lives. Our desire is that our character matches our gifting. We want love to be our aim and need to earnestly desire the spiritual gifts (I Corinthians 14:1). We want a house that is built to last against the storms that rage, the winds that blow, and the waves that roar.
With this in mind, let me tell you about the dream that I call, “The House that is Built to Last.”
Foundation Is Laid
I was taken to a construction site where the foundation of a house was being prepared. Two angels came and stood at the front of each corner of the property overseeing the approaching construction. The ground was rocky and the earth was crying out for a deep, strong, firm foundation to be laid, as there had previously been many shakings and earthquakes in the region over the years.
Very deep trenches were dug and cement trucks appeared on the scene to pour the foundation. The first layer of cement was poured and I watched as it “set up to dry.” Writing in script appeared on the front right foundation stating, “Jesus Christ – The Messiah of the Jew and the Gentile.”
As I continued to watch, script appeared on the left front stating, “Apostles and Prophets – Fathers and Mothers of the Ages.”
The Pouring of the Foundation Continued
The cement trucks pulled up again and another pouring proceeded as I continued to watch in the Spirit. Script appeared again on the second layer of foundation as it began to set up. On the front right corner the words “Humility” emerged and on the left “Integrity” manifested. The scene repeated a third time with a phrase surfacing to the top of the freshly poured cement – “Intimate Worship from a Pure Heart.”
I was now keenly aware that this was no ordinary house that was about to be built. It was an Apostolic House for the Glory of God in the End Times.
Another cement truck came and unloaded its quick-drying substance. Once again words appeared, “God’s Heart for the Poor and the Desperate.” As soon as these words rose to the top another phrase popped forth into view, “God’s Healing Presence.” The foundation now appeared to be complete as a demonstration of the “power of God” was established for the foundation of the House.
Awakened with a Word
Suddenly, so it seemed, I was awakened from out of this detailed dream as a voice from the Lord spoke to me. I was awakened with a word from the angels that were overseeing the construction of the house. With the presence of the “Jealousy of God,” I clearly heard, “This is the House that is Built to Last.” I laid there marveling on the wisdom that permeated this God encounter.
How Is Your House Built?
In these Last Days, the Holy Spirit is sending help to make sure that the foundation of each of our personal lives is strong, secure and “built to last.” This is true, as well, for the corporate dwelling place of God – the church – the body of Christ. Is Jesus the cornerstone of your life? Is your house established upon the revelation, lifestyle, and truths of the apostles and prophets – the fathers and mothers of the faith throughout the church ages? Are you maintaining a life of integrity and humility with a heart filled with pure worship?
Are you asking the Lord to restore the ancient foundation of God’s heart for the poor and the desperate?
Are you seeking the Lord for a greater release of His healing presence to demonstrate His love and mercy?
Since having this dream, I am asking myself and the Lord these questions.
So now I ask you the same questions the “Jealousy of God” has been asking me. “How is your house built? When the winds, rains, and storms come that Jesus spoke about, is your house built to last?”
Let us acquire wisdom from the Lord and build our house so that it will stand firm as a testimony of His greatness! The storms of life will come. Will your house stand? Let the “House that is Built to Last” come forth for the Glory of God! Amen and Amen!
