Will He Find Faith and Skeletons in the Sand

On Wednesday night (9/14) God said, "will He find faith on the earth?"

That comes from Luke 18:8-

"...However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8b NASB

Then I saw the wind blowing the sand. As it blew it started to uncover something. Then as if a pencil was drawing it, things were being added to what was being exposed in the sand.

As it came into focus, what the wind was uncovering was a skeleton. The skeleton was human and it was face down.

That had me a little perplexed at first. Lately, the understanding has immediately followed what I was shown, but that was not the case here.

Slowly, news kept coming in about the church I used to attend, and my wife and I kept bumping into people we knew from there. This started that very night with news about that church's pastor and his continuing decline in health.

We both kept bumping into people, then Saturday, someone came into the shop. As I walked to the back I was reminded of the skeleton in the sand.

The past was being brought up! That was the skeleton in the sand!

But, will Jesus find faith on the earth when He returns?

I thought I was done with that whole situation and there was nothing more I could do for any of those people...

I guess I'll see...

Unforgiveness, Sickness, Communion, Healing...

The days started with this-

I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from Him.  Psalms 62:1 NLT

 - - - - -

In church I saw-

blood on the door posts of the church...

This was important because "something" was coming...

and, I heard-

"I fell as if dead in His presence..."

 - - - - -

In reference to Psalm 62:1, the guest speaker brought this verse-

"Listen in silence before Me, you lands beyond the sea. Bring your strongest arguments. Come now and speak. The court is ready for your case. Isaiah 41:1 NLT

So, it is important for me to get into God's presence and be quiet.

Falling as if I were dead refers to Revelation 1:17-

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the First and the Last. (NLT)

I am at the verge of break through. God is telling me to get in His presence and let Him minister. I don't know if this is going to be a powerful revelation of just a visitation like I've never had before; either way, sounds good to me!

Now, the blood on the door posts...

I had unforgiveness in my life. I had said the words, but I had not forgiven them in my heart. I didn't know what to do.

It was getting bad. My "spiritual" condition had manifested itself in my body. I was sick. My head was pounding, my nose was running, and the pain was excruciating. I knew if I could get to the altar at church and pray, I'd be alright.

Well, the service had almost come to an end. Then one of the elder sisters spoke up and said, "Somebody has unforgiveness."

OH!!!

I almost left without dealing with it!

I went to her husband and told him I had unforgiveness, and asked if both of them would pray with me.

Monday morning I awoke in possession of not only the healing, but an understanding of what I had done. That was James 5.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 NLT

Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. James 5:14 NLT

God knew my heart. He called me out, I confessed my faults to my elder brother an sister, and they prayed for me.

The blood on the door posts of the church...

Like I said, God knew my heart. Communion was scheduled for the evening service. Communion, passover, blood on the door posts...

Communion, the broken body of Christ. When He was beaten, despised, and rejected, He looked on those who did it, and asked the Father to forgive them! That was it! The love of Christ! THAT is forgiveness!

I didn't fully understand what had happened Sunday until I awoke Monday morning. Then, it hit me like a brick to the forehead.

I confessed my faults, elders prayed, I found forgiveness for others through communion and Jesus Christ, I was healed of my sickness, and now God wants me to get in His presence...

And to think, I get to go to heaven too!

Thank you Jesus!
