Edifices of ice
At a prayer gathering I had a vision which I delivered in song. I believe that now is the time to share it, as we are nearing that time when we will begin to see its outworking.
God shared that He has sent the Holy Spirit out to hover over Adelaide and the nation of Australia. I saw first of all the Holy Spirit moving as a gentle wind, breathing warm, soft fire and any who had a heart to receive was now glowing with that fire. These people have allowed Him to fan into flame their first love, their passion for Jesus. You could easily see the red glow that shone through their bodies. They have not allowed the ‘system’ of church and religion or the cares of this world to quench the fire within their spirits. They have willingly submitted themselves to the dealings and preparations of God. These people can easily be identified by their passion for the Lord.
I then saw an old gothic styled cathedral with twin spires, situated on a hill - very impressive in size and bearing. The unusual thing about this cathedral was that it was made entirely of ice. The cathedral represents the church and the institution that it has become. An edifice of ice. No longer carrying the fire of God, no longer offering a warm refuge. It has become cold, distant and aloof. This cathedral had rejected the warm fire of the Holy Spirit.
Then I felt God direct me to look upwards. My spirit leapt within me for I saw on the horizon, approaching on the dawn, the Lord Jesus riding in on a white horse. He was pure light, riding furiously with lightening flashing out from Him. What a glorious sight this was! His arm was outstretched and in His hand was a sword that was aflame. He galloped across the skies with an air of determination and resoluteness. This was no Jesus meek and mild riding in on a donkey. He was the King of Glory, strong and mighty!
Not slowing His pace, Jesus rode past the cathedral of ice, swinging His sword of fire down low, slicing through both spires of the cathedral. The edifice of ice splintered into thousands of shards; the entire cathedral was shattered and destroyed. This action did not slow Him down at all. He continued to ride, this time across the tops of the people. As He approached a person with the glow of fire in their heart He drove the flaming sword down into their bodies. As He did so the glow of fire within them exploded into great flames of fire and light that flashed out of their beings. They became what He is – fire and light.
Jesus is riding in with revival fire in his hand and that will be manifested either as judgement or great revival. What has been tolerated will no longer be tolerated. Just has God gave warning of His judgement in the horrific Twin Towers terrorist attack, God is saying the same thing for the church of Adelaide and Australia as a nation - the gothic cathedral that I saw had twin spires. His sword of judgement fire will fall on the edifices of ice in this city and in this nation. The time is very quickly approaching when institutions, edifices of ice that have stood for generations, and people that have rejected the Holy Spirit’s preparations, will come under the sword of judgement fire. The fire of His holiness will bring revival to those who have corresponding holiness in their lives, or it will bring judgement on those who have rejected the fire of His holiness in their lives and churches.
He is seeking those who have allowed the Holy Spirit to work deeply in their lives and have fanned into flame their first love, those that desire Him above all else. To those people His sword of fire will be revival fire. These people will be ablaze for him, catalysts of revival in this city and throughout this nation. This is a time of great anticipation, tempered with great soberness and the fear of the Lord.
The Spirit and the Bride say “Come Lord Jesus!”
