Purity of Worship is Coming
Clo DiPilato
Dearest Friends in Jesus,
Early this morning I had an incredibly beautiful dream. I dreamed I was in a gathering which was massive and the hunger in the hearts of God's people presented as worship before Him in the old chorus,
"I've heard your cry and longing, I'll send again the latter rain.
I'll give you floods on your dry grounds, the wonders and the signs again!
Lift up your hands so weary, the clouds of blessing now hang low.
Keep watching and expecting, I've promised in My word, it's so!"
The people sang it again and again, and it was not just a song, it was a prayer, and it was not just a prayer, it was pure worship as I had never heard it. It came from the very center of the depths of each person, and the yielding corporate power was as something I have never experienced in a worship service.
There was no awareness of any person being lifted up, the platform was full of people as was the
rest of the auditorium. It was such a large place, I was sure it had to be some sort of theatre rather than just a church. In the crowd on the platform there were two people I recognized. One was Phil Driscoll, the trumpet player, and the other was Chris Matthews of Hardball on MSNBC!! The glory of God radiated from that man's face. I do not know if he even knows the Lord, but now I know I must pray for him!! Though these well-known people were there, there was no attention anywhere but on Jesus. Jesus was the focus, and they just happened to be part of this gathering. Purity, such purity, such purity, such purity. I was bathed in the reality of it, and woke up from this dream with an awesome presence of His holiness saturating my home.
And this is the word of the Lord that comes forth into my spirit, and out to the people of God after meditating about this dream:
Oh my People, hear the word of the Lord!! If you haven't learned to discern the difference between the artificial sounds of hype and the true and pure sound of the abundance of rain, you are going to be severely disappointed in the coming months for I am getting ready to shake and reveal that which is not truly of Me that has been masquerading in My Name as My tabernacles which are pitched by man, and not by God.
Seek My face for an ear to hear even as I hear that which is coming up before Me in this hour. Seek My heart so you can hear how it sounds in My ears. Seek to enter into the place of truly having My mind and truly understanding how I think about sacrifice and worship so that you will not be deceived.
Seek to know if the sounds in the land are the sounds of My Servant David whom I tabernacled with in joy and praises and music and dancing, or if it's the sounds of the kindlings of strange fire offered up to a strange god who delights in appearances but dreads My disciplines, who delights in a vain and religious show, but dreads offering the daily sacrifices, morning and evening even as my servant David did. Seek My face to distinguish those who claim the tabernacle of David for their reason of elaborate and demands of excellency in praise and worship before Me, and yet have no foundations or deep root within themselves to understand that true worship is the surrendered and bowed and prostrate will before Me.
When the masses leave, they will cease to praise Me. When the accolades are gone, they will cease to worship Me. When the numbers dwindle, they will no longer stand by night in the house of the Lord. I'm the God that fills the house, and I'm the God that can empty the house. I am going to empty houses so that I can show man what's in His heart toward Me. The fullness of time for Hollywood in the church is coming to an end. I'm going to strip the bark of the tree of theatrical religion and church clean bare, and then expose it's roots. I'm going to show that it has never truly been My mind for My house, and then when I am done, I am going to raise up the true worshippers, the true Levites, the true sons of Asaph who through praises and prophecy know how to lead a people hungry for Me into My presence.
Some houses great and fair will be laid desolate without inhabitant But for those who can discern My workings and stand fast through My shakings in this hour they will see that from pulpit to pew, from vestibule to fellowship hall, from bookstore to parking lot there will be a NEW SOUND in My house, and it will be the sounds of Zion, a sound established by the Highest because I have had my Davids on the hillsides of Judea making true melody unto Me, unto Me alone as they have faithfully tended My sheep and My little lambs. They have no boasting in the world's approval, and they have no reason or talent to receive recognition from man, but I have taken note of them for their worship has been to Me, and their service has been to Me, and the development of their abilities have been in My presence and under the discipline of My hand, and I will raise them up to go before My people into My gates with thanksgiving, into My courts with praise, and even into My throne room with requests of favor, and I shall grant My favor to them, and I shall extend My royal sceptre of approval to them, for I know them, and their worship has been unto Me and not unto self and not unto man, but unto Me, and I have highly regarded it. They are not caught up in fads of a feigned relationship with the Lord , but they commune with Me daily, and I know them.
You have not discerned them, for I have hidden them. But even as Saul called for David, and the prophet called for the minstrels, even now am I calling these ones out from the caves, out from the deserts, up from the valleys and into a place where I can clearly set them before My people who are hungering for Me, thirsting for Me, and longing for Me who have the ability to discern that I will truly fill the house with Myself, with My glory, with My power that is truly filled with a pure sound of radiant and vibrant worship hatched not out of iron incubators of talents and ambition, but birthed from the warm and nurturing womb of disciplines unto obedience unto Me, unto My voice, unto the pure and true word of the Lord. This is the sacrifice in which I will delight for this is the spirit of My servant David in the land.
And even as I opened doors for David, even so shall their gifts and talents make room for them even before the kings and princes of the lands for are they not all mere men in My presence, and isn't there yet within a spirit, though it be hidden underneath a robe of flesh, and trapped within bars of bone that is ever poised toward My Father and seeking for Him and crying for Him, though they know not His Name, and know not His voice? And shall not a revelation come unto these ones of who I am, even as Moses declared unto Pharoah, "I am hath sent me!" ??
That which I will do in the earth to turn the tides of the rivers within the hearts of kings so that they are directed by Me in these last days will be implemented and brought into being through the pure and true worship of My tested and proven servants, and no counterfeit spirit shall prevail to rob the inheritance of the saints in sitting upon the set thrones of judgment which I have ordained for them!
No counterfeit spirit shall have any part or lot with the spirit of the true church of God, the church bought with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot or blemish when I begin to shake things up, to stir things up to give My power and My authority to the saints of the Most High God.
I am going to cause My people to be absolutely exhausted, worn out, and disenchanted by the sound that has no substance. I am going to cause My people to distinguish between that which is a festival and a circus of human accomplishments and talents and that which is a feast at My banqueting tables, and a Holy Convocation unto Me, saith the Lord. I am going to cause My people to know when the gathering is truly unto Me, and when it's to the ambitions and exaltations and delusions of grandeur of a man, and when it's birthed from the hunger in the hearts of My people desirous to draw close to Me, desirous to enter into the hallowed place of My Presence.
I am leading My people OUT of that which has held them captive to the sounds of Babylon back up to the Holy Hill of Zion, and they shall find new pasture and their spirits shall be shepherded by My servant David, even the spirit of true worship and true holiness, and the cry and longing that has come into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath shall bring forth His rest, and shall be for refreshing, and shall be for a confirming rain, an abundance of rain in the Land, and My people shall cease from the glory of man whose breath is in his nostrils.
Don't be fearful of the losses and don't be fearful of the changes that are coming to My house, My church, My people. A season of emptying and tearing down shall precede a season of filling and building up. Stand fast in the night season and prevail in prayer and stay in communion with Me, and you shall ride out the currents of this navigation through transition into My New Day that I have purposed for My church, even a day of power and of holiness and fulfillment in
My purposes that you might be the executors of My righteousness and My holy judgments throughout all the earth.
Thus saith the Lord.
Always in the Love of Jesus,
Clo DiPilato
