Prepare To Sweep Clean The Earth

After listening to the tape series Preparation To Destination Conference by Bob Jones, and Paul Keith Davis, I had a dream. These tapes are really anointed.

I was taking an arts and craft class with my "8" year old daughter. The class was in a "transition period" of switching from one class to the next. It felt like this is what the church is going through right now. In class we were told that we must get our "BROOMS" ready. Our brooms were going to be our tools in this next move of God to sweep clean the earth.

I spoke out loud in panic, "Oh, I've forgotten mine. I must call my mom and have her drop it off. I was too busy, and I guess I had forgotten it."

Notice that the number 8 means new beginnings. I feel that the age of my daughter in this dream was a significant representation of the time in which God is going to move. These are the last days and we are going into the transition of the total rule and reign of the King of kings upon the earth.

My daughter also depicts the younger generation in this move. They have often been referred to as Generation X, but if you look closely the "X" is a criss-cross. With a little adjusting from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it is no longer a criss-cross but CHRIST'S CROSS. This generation will be won over by the cross of Christ and they will boldly portray the life and love of Christ through the message of the Cross.

The Lord drew my attention to the book of Habakkuk where God raised up Josiah. He was only 8 years old, he was the last good king to reign over Judah. He was a godly king that began to implement sweeping reforms. Much like what the very elect are called to do. We are kings and priests and we are to implement sweeping reforms in this hour. In my dream we had spiritual brooms to do this.

This occurred during the "restoration of the temple" at the time of King Josiah. Pretty significant again, for God is rebuilding this temple not made with human hands. The Temple Mount Faithful are trying to rebuild the 3rd temple in Jerusalem today. If you would read the book of Habakkuk it is 3 incredibly powerful chapters that speak of today and the judgment of the nations.

When my daughter took out her broom, it was new and wrapped in a heavy duty plastic. The broom had thick, sturdy, black nylon fibers. The black fibers were extremely resilient and couldn't get dirty, nor could they break down from the abuse of constant use. I feel that this is a reflection of the true Sons of God, those led by the Spirit of God.

They will be prepared with the proper tools and they will know how to use them. They will obtain new anointed giftings that have never been experienced before. They won't be marred by the filth of this world, nor will their service to their God wear them down. They will not rely on their own strength, but rest in God their savior. They will move with ease throughout the earth doing the Lord's bidding.

I noticed that when my broom was brought in, it embarrassed me, for it was made of straw. It was worn from the years of hard labor and constant abuse. The straw represented the works of the flesh or working in the ministry on my own strength. My broom didn't seem to have the agility that was needed for what we were going to be using it for in the very near future.

The class was to take their broom to the "Dipping Room" and dip them in oil. These tools were anointed by God. Dipping is a full submersion process like baptism. This oil was pure and Holy. It had been reserved for such a time as this. For once the brooms were dipped in this oil, everything would either cling to it or be swept away by its movement.

My straw broom was a disgrace and dirty. I was repulsed to think of dipping my old nasty broom in such pure and undefiled oil. I decided to leave my broom behind, knowing full well its inadequacies weren't sufficient for this next mighty move of God.

I then found myself lagging behind the group. As I did, I noticed a young boy going into the men's room. The door was slightly ajar and he struck me as looking a bit odd. He had the head of an elder boy, maybe late teens to early 20's but the body of a three year old and he was only wearing a diaper. I felt such pity for him. He was deformed in a sense.

I wondered why the mature head? Right then the answer came to me, He is mature in head knowledge but extremely immature in stature and form. Therefore he is extremely gullible to anything that comes his way.

I realized that the majority of the body of Christ is in the same condition today. There are those who have had a seat in church for 15-20 years. They are filled with head knowledge but they haven't grown beyond a toddler's stature. They can only eat baby food and they choke on the meat content of the word.

I noticed that a grubby, old, sinister man followed the boy into the bathroom and tried to befriend him. I was frightened for the child. I thought I'd just watch secretly and intervene in case this fellow was up to no good.

Then another dirty, old, sinister looking man joined the first man. They were trying to entice him into something by funning and laughing all the way. I couldn't make out their intentions good enough because they kept checking back to see if someone was watching them. I was trying to be incognito. I saw their shadows go into a position of putting their hands in a claw like position above their heads and trying to scare the child into whatever it was they wanted.

I kept thinking...they are seducing spirits, but how? The bathroom is a room for "cleansing". It is represented in the spirit as a room for repentance, where we would get rid of extra waste, and excess baggage. How could it be that we as a body would be effected by seducing spirits when we are in a repentive state?

How often do we find that when we want to seek the Lord and get into real intense prayer and worship we begin the repentance process, which is greatly needed. God loves a contrite heart. But far too often we beat ourselves up by accepting the accusations of the enemy and we don't let the sin lay at the altar, we ponder it and then self-condemnation, and fear of rejection comes in.

Soon we feel totally unworthy to even come before our God the way we should. This is the work of the enemy. He is trying to keep us from coming into intimacy with the Lord.

He knows that if he can seduce us into believing we are just totally unworthy then we won't even attempt to push for a greater move of God in our lives. It is false humility at its worst. It is agreeing with the enemy and saying that the blood of Jesus doesn't have the redemptive power that the Word says that it has to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

This is the same result that occurred in my dream when the 2 men/seducing spirits went into the bathroom with the boy who represents the church.

I ran to get my husband around the corner and there was a stone staircase that was made of Ancient Roman architecture. My husband was descending this staircase with a number of others. It seemed to be hanging in mid-air. It put me in mind of Jacobs ladder in the bible.

I ran to tell him about the child and that I needed him to go in right away and check on the boy. It took only moments but when we got to the men's room they had left. Noticed that I ran to "man" and not "God" and the results were futile.

About now you ought to be saying, "Wow, this girl should really get her act together." And you are right! There is not even one of us that can think they are above this. We must focus on fulfilling the Lord's mandate and not get sidetracked.

I feel that my role in the dream portrays the seeker who is so willing to be used of God but often gets knocked off course because of circumstances and wrong choices in life.

My husband and I went back to the arts and craft room to meet up with my daughter and I noticed that while I was away and concerned with the well being of that child in the men's room, the class went through some extensive training that was imperative for me to take.

I noticed that they each had a set of dentures to work on. But instead of being in a horseshoe form which is the regular shape of a mouth, they were in a straight row. For some reason I was baffled by their appearance.

The old order of the church is much like the horseshoe shape, in that it has many members, but they crowd one another and they push and shove. Many times overlapping just to stick out and be seen.

But the new order and coming move of God won't even look remotely the same. The new structure will be in a straight row, no crowding, no pushing or shoving, no overlapping. Everyone with a purpose and destiny and everyone in his or her own place. They will stand in formation like perfect, obedient soldiers should.

I picked up my tooth brush and model mouth. It began falling apart! The filling came out of the tooth, then a tooth fell right out of the mold. My daughter said we were taught how to clean others teeth and we will be tested on it!

I was devastated to say the least. Just because things appear to be good that we are doing doesn't mean that God is in it. It was my fault. I missed my training because I was too busy all the time, doing what I called "service to God".

I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the class now because I was really lagging behind. I was not efficiently equipped with the proper tools like the broom dipped in oil nor was I properly trained and prepared for the service of others.

The teeth we were being trained to clean was teaching us to prepare others for the intense walk with the Lord that He is requiring. Jesus showed how Mary and Martha were much like this. Mary knew that sitting at the Masters feet and learning was the most important thing that she could be doing, but Martha was too busy taking care of others. Basically, feeling she is doing a service to the Lord, no doubt.

But Martha was neglecting her time with the Lord. The Lord chastised her for it. Mary is much like the VERY ELECT. They cannot be side tracked no matter what goes on around them. They come prepared and they get prepared!

Many of these very elect are going to be made up of a younger breed. They have vitality. I know that they have a resolve about them. As the very elect get their marching orders from the Most High and they will report to the church, the very heart of God.

The rest of the body will grow up at an incredible speed and come into proper proportion to the head. For the knowledge of the glory of the Father will cover the earth just like the waters cover the sea.
