I was visiting the old
church I went to when I lived in El Paso, Texas. The church building was
a lot larger than I remember. On this day, the church was having a large
conference of some kind and all the age groups were broken up. I decided
that morning I wanted to help with the children’s activities and everything
that had to do with the children.
After I began helping with the
children, I noticed that there was a group in the auditorium that was kind
of in their own section, not surrounded by any other group of children. I
thought that was a little strange. I asked a few of the other
volunteers/friends and they very quietly, in almost a whisper, told me “that
those children had HIV and no one really knows about them other than
the church staff and those who volunteer with the children; most of the
other children don’t even know. Those who have found out have left
the church.” The children here represent the
people in the church who are spiritually immature. {1 Cor.14:20}
Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be
men (Greek: of full age). In the natural HIV is Human
Immunodeficiency Virus, which weakens the body’s immune system until it can
no longer fight off its enemies. This leads to AIDS, which is Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and death shortly thereafter. One who is
spiritually immature cannot fight off their enemies and is ultimately
conquered and spiritually dies even though they still occupy a pew. Those
who find out that their church is in this state generally leave.
When she told me this I was
alarmed that no one truly cared to help these children and had been keeping
this very serious matter a secret to most of the congregation.
Nonetheless, I continued working with the children.
Most of the spiritually immature do not know that
there is spiritual HIV in their own congregations.
At the end of the conference,
all of the families left and then all of the church staff and volunteers
began to leave. When I started walking out, I saw my father and a few of my
friends. I ran up to them and asked, “Did you know that there is a large
group of children who have HIV in this church?”
They all agreed that they in
fact knew that there were children with that ailment and didn’t seem to
care. (This state is so common that it is not
looked on as a great danger.) Then I asked them, “How did the
children get HIV? Why haven’t you guys left the church like the
others?” In the natural, children generally
get HIV from their mother at birth and the mother gets it from the father.
Spiritually, the father is the one who sows the diseased seed which destroys
the immune system of the church who is the mother of the individual
members. The seed that is sown in most of the church makes perpetual
children out of its members, who have no real defense against the
principalities and powers who administer the curse. "Come out from among
them and be ye separate."
My dad told me, “I’m not
really sure how the children got HIV but I do know the church
leaders know. Maybe you should ask them.
(They know how the children got in this state
because they sowed the seed.) I haven’t left the church because this
is my church and I’m not leaving just because there is a disease here.”
Those who will not leave when they see this state
in the church don't because they are in gross idolatry with their dead
religion.
I couldn’t understand how and
why the church was so secretive about this issue that they had in their
church. I thought all of the people who had stayed, including my father and
friends, were extremely ignorant. I knew that I would not stand for a
church that covered up something. I left the parking lot of that church
very disturbed at how much it had changed and knew I was never going back.
Amen!
As soon as I
woke up the Lord revealed to me what this dream meant:
He was showing
me how prevalent the apostate church is in America. The children with HIV
represent a disease in the church that the church members and leaders
knowingly ignore. Instead of coming out of the church many stay knowing it
is not what the Lord desires for them. Shouldn’t those children be healed of
their ailment since by His stripes they were healed?
I believe this
is a warning to those who the Lord has revealed the apostate church to but
have ignored His revelation and continued to walk in their ignorance.
Since my earthly
father was in this group of people, I knew the Lord was confirming to me
that He was in fact talking about the ignorant children who have seen the
apostasy but didn’t turn back to Him. For many years, my father has ignored
many of the revelations that the Lord has given me that I have shared with
him and has decided to ignore them.
The Lord’s
children need to turn back to Him if they have seen the apostasy and have
ignored it. If He has not yet revealed the apostasy to them, let this be a
testament to His love for them to show them what is going on in our churches
and come back to Him.
{Hos.4:6}
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast
rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to
me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will
forget thy children. {7} As they were multiplied, so they sinned
against me: I will change their glory into shame. {8} They feed on the
sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. {9} And it
shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their
ways, and will requite them their doings. {10} And they shall eat, and not
have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase;
because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah. {11} Whoredom
and wine and new wine take away the understanding. {12} My people ask
counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the
spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the
harlot, [departing] from under their God.
