Dreams From God
About the WCG
* * *
Further Dreams
This publication does not include all the
dreams we have been given and the spiritual meanings they are meant convey.
My purpose here is to provide an accurate account of the most salient dreams
which God has given us about the WCG, to alert the few who will listen. WCG
folks need to be made aware of spiritual apostasy and their need to repent
and truly turn back to God.
Likewise, members of CoG splits should be
aware of their apostasy, which is different, but equally spiritually
harmful. Various dreams which God has revealed about CoG spiritual
conditions also follow.
I have included some other dreams, which,
while they are not directly relevant to the spiritual attrition of WCG and
CoG groups, have a bearing upon it.
4th July 1998. Malcolm. Vision of
Jesus. My eyes were closed. We were praying in our small fellowship
group. I saw Jesus standing in a church graveyard. [The WCG.] He appeared
just as any other normal person. There was no blinding vision of glory. He
wanted to be as one of us and not make us feel inferior or insecure because
of how He could have presented Himself. He beckoned to me with His body
language and His thoughts. He didn't have to speak any words. His body was
turned to go the other way, as if to go forward, to move on. He looked over
His left shoulder and beckoned with His head and a prompt that I can only
describe as a transfer of thought: "Come, follow Me." That is what I am
doing now.
22nd January 1998. M. Flying like
superman. This was an incredibly vivid dream. I was flying like superman
with my arms outstretched and fists clenched. I had supernatural power
flowing through me and I could go anywhere, do anything!
Meaning: This was fulfilled in early 1998, when God’s Spirit came
upon me to write a series of articles to expose the hypocrisy of WCG false
ministers. This dream portrays in symbol the effect of God’s ‘anointing’, as
does the next dream:
27th January 1998. Malcolm. 2 Dreams
1) Dream of One-Page Articles. In this dream, God showed me that I
was to write lots of one page articles9 and that these would be very helpful
to Worldwiders, etc. This occurred during subsequent weeks.
2) Dream about H M. She and R had dug up the whole of their veg
patch. It was quite an accomplishment. All the ground had been turned over –
rough dug. She said to me "We need you." I felt embarrassed. I didn't want
to feel that anyone thought they needed me.
Meaning: An allegory of their spiritual lives.
2nd February 1998. Malcolm.
Hard-Hearted Critics. Several well-dressed, respectable-looking people
were sitting at their desks. They were watching me with a disparaging look
although they said nothing. Their body language gave away what they were
thinking. They clearly didn't think much of me at all! But they had learned
the clever politician's response of not saying anything when cornered – of
staying cool and calm. Their lack of response was a hypocritical sham, so I
ribbed them by saying something that was penetrating and which they would
take as insulting. After that, their 'chief' one – a bigger man than all the
others – started bad-mouthing me, and accusing me falsely.
Meaning: the leaders of the split Sabbatarians. Jim Rector, Ron Dart,
Dean Wheelock, Norman Edwards and others who have not wanted to communicate.
They eye me with a combination of suspicion, belittlement and contempt.
31st March 1998. Malcolm. Two WCG men
wise up. I was given a dream of Keith Xxxxx, who now realised we were
right. He was much more humble and quite friendly towards us. Also NK was
there. He was talking with me, but he made out as though he had known all
along that we were right. In this dream I had a lorry.
Meaning: the lorry is a symbol of the work involved in conveying
things to others, and the amount of work it has taken. The arrogance of NK.
1st April 1998. Malcolm. John Xxxxxxx.
In this dream, John had asked me for £400 which I had loaned him. He needed
it to keep his van on the road. I got into a long conversation with him to
try and get him to commit himself to paying me back, but he was more
concerned about putting himself first than honouring his responsibilities
towards me. As we were travelling along in his van talking about this, a
tragedy struck. He was driving, but the driver's seat was very low and he
was reclining in it too. He couldn't really see where he was going, although
he thought he could. There was a large blind area below, blocked out by the
dashboard. (Only a dream could convey this!) A car coming the other way was
wanting to turn right and was stationary in the middle of the road. John
didn't see it and ran right over it, crushing its occupant, a lady. He
didn't even realise he had hit it! I was horrified and told him he had hit
someone. The dream ended.
Meaning: his preoccupation with pursuing his own personal ambition
leaves a trail of woe and calamity behind. Others suffer because of his
selfish pursuit. (This man fell away spiritually because he was purely
physically-minded. This blinded him. He later left his wife and went to live
in adultery. He was in WCG.)
1st April 1998. Malcolm. Dream of Sin.
In this dream, somehow God conveyed what sin is like when we view it from
the spiritual dimension. It is much more ugly, much more wrong, much more
vile than we tend to see it from our contaminated physical perspective.
Meaning: God wants us to see sin more from the right angle, from His
vantage point.
4th May 1998. Malcolm. Dream of Sxx
Xxxxxxx. This dream was quite complicated, but the gist of it was that
there was something which was holding Sxx back spiritually. It was lust of
some sort. The dream did not convey what it was specifically, probably
because it has various facets and cannot be oversimplified, but in talking
with Helena, she explained more about what holds WCG ministers inside the
WCG. They don't want to lose their position.
6th May 1998. Malcolm. The Revival
Coming. Helena and I were invited to a meal with some other Worldwiders.
Various people we had known were there. I was surprised to see S P there too
(someone who had slandered me from a WCG pulpit). He sat at the end of the
table some distance from us so we didn't get to talk to him. During the
conversation (Helena was doing a lot of that) I wanted to interject and
mention the incident about Geoff Xxxxxxxxx. Later, I was able to. I told
them what had happened to Geoff Xxxxxxxxx and his daughter-in-law. (This man
is an ‘ordinary’ insurance salesman I knew. He was not religious; didn’t
have any church affiliation; but God could reach him through our literature,
and his daughter-in-law will receive healing, obviating the need for an
operation. In the coming revival there will be many miracles.)
One other aspect conveyed at the end of
this dream was this: Most people have the sad concept that God is some sort
of ogre in heaven, very distant from us, and unfeeling of our difficulties.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I tried to convey to these folks
that God is the most loving Father you could ever know! His love and care
for us is so intense that we can't understand how it could be so great!
4th August 1998. Malcolm. Dream of H S.
Our patio door was open and we were inside. H S came around, looking for
what he could find. We were quite willing to give him what he needed so we
left him to it. But it soon became clear that he was hiking off with much
more! I went out to challenge him. It wasn't right that he was taking things
that were ours without considering us. At that point he became more furtive
and turned to run away. Richard's van was open in the driveway, and his
tools could have been pinched. I was afraid that H S might run off with some
of them too. I wondered how we could protect ourselves. As H S looked at me
before running away I saw his face. But it wasn't H S!
Meaning: A dream which is self-evident in most respects. The last
part shows that it is demons which govern people's wrong behaviour and which
turn them into different people.
8th December 1998. Malcolm. In this dream
I had sold three cars to a dealer. I found out later that he was marking
them up astronomically. He put phenomenally high prices on them.
Meaning: The truth we have been given. Others ‘steal’ some of it for
their own selfish advantage, and make lots from it, but we are not
remunerated.
9th August 1998. Malcolm. Dream of L H.
L was helping us. She filled in an application form for us. It was quite
long and involved, and I was glad of her help. Forms can be so
time-consuming to complete. However, I noticed on the form that she said she
was my wife. While I was flattered, I said, "No, you shouldn't say that.
It's not true. You should just say you are an associate."
27th August 1998. Malcolm. Dream of A S
(a WCG minister). In a small group, with our heads bowed as if we were
praying together, A leaned over and pushed into me with his head. Rather
like an animal asserts its sovereignty, A was asserting his superiority or
pre-eminence. Then some words were conveyed. He said: "Malcolm, you've got
to be more magnanimous." In other words, he wants me to drop my relentless
correction of WCG abuse, and speak kindly words about them instead. He
thinks our commission is a failure. The dream conveys his arrogance and
unrepentant attitude. He still clings to old WCG élitism.
5th September 1998. Malcolm. Hostility
and Rejection. It was as if we were at some function, like a gathering
at a Feast. D W (someone we knew in WCG) was sitting at a small table with
another friend, talking. As I walked past, I noticed her and was glad to see
her. I said hello and asked to come and chat with her some time, to renew
fellowship. However, her response was cool. She didn’t want to spend time
with me. She didn’t want to know me at all.
Meaning: It conveys the hostile and segregationist psychology which
WCG implants into their members’ minds. That psychology is so damaging that
it leaves its mark in the spirit even after the person is dead! (The person
is now dead.)
7th September 1998. Malcolm. People’s
Reservations. Dream of Mr and Mrs S coming to meet with us in our
mansion. The large house where we were, seemed old and well established.
However, they didn’t want to get involved in what we were doing. We went out
into the garden to work, but they stayed inside.
Meaning: Even though our ministry is well established and has borne
fruit that will last, these former WCG friends find it hard to break with
their tradition and get involved with us in our Work for God. Most former
WCG friends don’t want to help us.
7th September 1998. Helena saw a cage
with some tiny little people in it. They were like chickens imprisoned
in a cage. They were not fed or looked after. They were locked up and
neglected. They were slowly dying. They needed to be let out, fed and
watered, and cared for.
Meaning: WCG folks.
21st September 1998. Helena. Dream of
People’s Unwillingness. We tried to help someone with materials, but the
tapes were given back. Milk was pouring out of them. It was easily digested
food, but they didn’t want it.
Meaning: This literally happened when we sent tapes or videos to WCG
folks in the 1990s unsolicited. They ignored them, or sent them back with
arrogant hostility! People would rather stay in the dark than see the light.
Shows the strength of demonic strongholds in people’s minds to which they
submit. They will have to go through trials and tribulations before they
will wake up.
27th September 1998. Malcolm. The
Demise of the WCG. I had a dream of a flat. The owner felt they should
sell off part of the flat to make ends meet. So they sold their living room
for £50,000. It was a crazy thing to do. They subdivided the flat and made
the living room separate from the other rooms, which the dream conveyed were
upstairs. Two fellows bought it, intending to use it for play as a snooker
room.
Meaning: Symbolic of what the WCG has done. The living room is the
heart and core of the home. In the WCG, its people are the heart and core of
the church, but the leadership have treated them lightly. They have been
willing to ‘sell them off’ to get what they want – which seems expedient for
them, but in reality it is ridiculous to the overall well-being of the
organisation. What WCG leaders have done by dividing the church, selling off
the heart and core for quick ‘profit’. They have treated it with disdain.
Their mercenary attitude toward it is one of "What can we get for it?" They
have no qualms about selling it off to others – to mere snooker players.
Nothing but games take place there from now on. The WCG has reduced its
church to the level of playing mere games!
9th October 1998. Malcolm. Dream of
delinquent girl. I was berating a delinquent girl in this dream. She was
dirty and terribly badly behaved. In fact, she was so unruly, obnoxious and
repulsive that I tried to get hold of her and spank her. But her mother
intervened and prevented me doing so. I burst out in anger against this
woman’s natural reaction. I told her she was a silly fool not to discipline
her child, as that lack of direction was making her the evil way she was.
Meaning: the WCG leadership could be likened to the woman who refuses
to give proper guidance to those in their care. The result is to be seen in
a spiritually unruly, spiritually dirty, spiritually repulsive daughter.
10th October 1998. Malcolm. Dream of
man who came to meddle without permission. It was a sort of gimmick like
TV shows arrange for publicity stunts. This man (who behaved affably, like
TV presenters, who know how to present themselves well to an audience) took
a gadget (like a waste disposal unit) out from under our kitchen sink. I
didn’t want this removed, but he said he would put it back later. It was
inconvenient to have it removed, especially against our wishes! He had no
right, but that didn’t seem to concern him. Even though he said it would be
put back, I couldn’t have that faith that everything would work as it did
before. I didn’t trust his workmanship. His tampering with things could
damage the threads and cause it to leak. All sorts of problems could have
resulted from his meddling.
Meaning: This is an analogy of what has happened in the WCG. The
leadership have meddled with fundamental doctrine which the people in the
church (who should really be regarded as the owners of the church – but who
aren’t – they are merely used by the leadership) didn’t want altered. They
didn’t want the sanctity of the law of God tampered with. But the leadership
have removed the basis for regarding the Sabbath and holy days as
sacrosanct. The only basis now is church tradition. They are not kept for
any other reason than to bring in money and retain a measure of stability.
If the ruling junta can conveniently dispose of these biblical customs, they
will! At the moment, they can’t do so without greater political upheaval and
financial loss to themselves.
10th October 1998. Helena. Dream of
brute who tried to rape a girl. A young girl (portrayed as about 12) was
being pursued by a brute of a man who wanted to rape her. He had her in his
grip, so she couldn’t escape. He was going to use her for what he wanted,
despite her protests. She was so weak and defenceless
against this promiscuous thug. He had an accomplice, too, who was nearby.
Helena grabbed him, held onto his hands to stop him running away. She waited
for the police to arrive. That took some time, but she had to hold on to him
until they came. Eventually, the police arrived, took him away, and also
dragged the accomplice away by the hair.
Meaning: A figure of what WCG leadership
has done to the WCG. They have tried to force what they want onto the
members, without considering the feelings, wishes or will of those members.
This dream parallels the one above about the man who meddled without
permission. The accomplice represents the evangelicals who have encouraged
WCG apostasy. The police represent the authority of God, who will eventually
judge all the wicked and take them away to their punishment.
13th October 1998. Malcolm. Dream of
Inept Builders. Builders were altering a house. In their ‘enthusiasm’ to
speed on with their schemes, they had stripped the roof covering, leaving
only some boards on the framework of what was once the roof. I thought to
myself: "How foolish!" No way would this keep out the weather! Then the
scene changed and I went into one of the rooms. It was the bathroom. I
noticed that they had moved the toilet, but I noticed too late that they had
foolishly disconnected the waste outlet from the drain. When the toilet was
flushed, the water went all over the floor, which was concrete, and which
was also left in an unfinished state. Loose gravel on the floor was washed
into the drain and blocked it. This had to be arduously removed by hand.
Meaning: The state of things in the WCG. They have removed the
protective covering over the church by introducing antinomian teachings.
There is great protection in obedience to law (1 Tim 1:8 – the law is good
if a man use it lawfully). But the WCG have removed the protective roof, and
now call obedience to God’s precepts "legalism". Their ineptitude is akin to
leaving the toilet disconnected. Confusion reigns. They have created an
equal mess in WCG members’ minds through their enthusiastic changes!
24th November 1998. Malcolm. Dream of
Storm. This dream portrayed the effect of all our written material. God
depicted our house and garden surrounded by sea. There was a furious storm
raging. The waves were colossal – 20-30 feet high. But the waves didn't lash
over onto our land. They were all around us, but stopped short of affecting
us. A boat was tossed to and fro in this storm, and was blown against our
land at the end of our garden. We went down to help the people in this boat.
23rd December 1998. Helena. Dream of
Joseph Tkach and his church. Everything he did was disorganised –
confusion! It seemed like anything went. He did whatever was convenient or
expedient. There were pound coins nearby on top of some papers, and it
became clear that whatever he and his helpers decided upon was done for
monetary expedience. The dream conveyed him with his ‘generals’, the top
brass, executive ‘ministers’ – pompous, and loyal to one another. The men
who were his associates were represented like a clique of gangsters, and
Tkach’s whole approach was totally liberal and free and easy, yet there was
an order to it – submitting to Tkach. Helena was sitting at the top table,
waiting for the leader to arrive. When he came, the meeting quietened down.
He was very jovial and convivial. (His position is not challenged. All his
underlings defer to him.) Helena looked at him and said. "Oh, it’s you."
25th December. Malcolm. Dream about
former WCG person waking up. He had been out of WCG for some time and
spent time with UCG. But now he was coming to see what we were saying was
right. It wasn’t possible for him to appreciate it before. Time had to pass
and he had to experience various things before he could accept what we are
putting forward.
2nd January 1999. Malcolm. 2 Dreams.
The WCG – Physically-Minded!
1. Dream of WCG minister who slandered our names. Now he wanted to show
me around the brick shed which was annexed to the side of his garage. He had
a new device in it that he had designed. He was very proud of this gadget,
which was like a photocopier. I could see that he was very physically
minded. There was no spiritual life. He also lacked wisdom and spiritual
discernment, for I wondered to myself in the dream, "Doesn’t he know that he
made us his enemies? Yet here he is talking with me as if nothing ever
happened!"
2. Dream of a church member’s son. He was asking me for tyres for his BMX
bike. He did not want the spiritual things in our publications. Meaning: The
WCG legacy – mere physical pursuit, very little desire for the things of the
Spirit.
18th Sept 2001. M. Football (and other
physical things) more important than God. It was as if I was at the back
of a church meeting. It could have been any of a large number of churches in
this land. The preaching service was over, songs had been sung, and the man
at the front then started to talk about the football results and other
matters to do with football, football club managers, etc.
At that point the Spirit came upon me and I jumped to my feet. Words started
pouring from my mouth as I prophesied, "Thus says the Lord...!" correcting
these people on their physical preoccupation.
Instead of being there to glorify God, to learn about God, to talk about
Him, to fellowship with Him, to fill their minds with things to do with Him,
they cared more about the football than about Him!
Meaning: WCG and CoG people seek the physical instead of the
spiritual. They are more interested in the physical than the spiritual. This
is idolatry and distances them from God.
14th January 1999. Malcolm. People on a
ship (the WCG) wanted to get off and swim some 200 yards to an island.
But there was a general consensus against doing so. I couldn’t understand
why people were dissuaded from taking the plunge. It was a pleasant swim.
The water was not turbulent or cold. I could only think to myself, "What a
waste of time." People were put off taking the plunge and moving out by
themselves. They were being made to procrastinate; were being held back by
very subtle mental coercion. Meaning: The way church leaders tend to put
people off being more independent. They want you on board their ships!
29th January 1999. Malcolm. Dream of
Tkach’s farce. In this dream, it portrayed us attending a festival
meeting of the WCG. A bucket of water got kicked over and created confusion
all over the place. Tkach took this as a sign from
God, a good omen, when in fact it was the opposite. He encouraged the
confusion by his total lack of spiritual discernment.
1st February 1999. Malcolm. Churches of
God Restrictive. C P (a former WCG friend) was living in a very poky
house. There was no ‘room to swing a cat around’. He was married to this
woman and his wife was the boss. He was very subservient to her. They needed
to extend the place, but because of lack of space, I inquired how C would
achieve this. I asked whether he would build it out of blocks, but he said
"No". It would be a temporary structure, of some lightweight fabrication.
Thus, it could be put up and then taken down shortly afterwards. It sounded
a very strange proposition to me! They didn’t have the space for a permanent
structure. Apparently, they didn’t think of moving!
Meaning: The spiritually restrictive environment of the church C now
belongs to (one of the Church of God groups). He has surrendered himself to
that church. Consequently, he forfeits the latitude of real spirituality and
freedom because of the ‘woman’ (church) whom he allows to dominate him. Any
spiritual ‘growth’ he may achieve is temporary and will be dismantled. It is
not permanent. True freedom and spiritual scope lies outside the restrictive
confines of a humanly dominated church structure. (You will understand why
if you read God’s Church – Whose Authority?)
8th April, 1999. Helena. Woman in a
Coffin (The CoG). Friends of this woman
were standing around the coffin, doing nothing. It seemed like this woman
was their mother (the ‘Church of God’). Helena was agitated in the dream and
wanted them to deal with this coffin. It was their responsibility. But they
were slow to face up to their duties in that regard.
Meaning: Death means the end of one phase and the beginning of
another. God is starting a new movement. People now have to come out of the
old dead mother Church (and breakaway churches). It’s hard to make the
transition, but it must be done to follow the lead of the Spirit.
The call is to the Bride – to individuals
– not to the Church as a whole. These individuals must come out and be
separate for God to work with them as He wants.
But the breakaway groups from the WCG are
standing around doing very little. Too many are not looking forward, and
following God’s lead, but are looking back, tied by former traditions,
beliefs and practices.
CoG folks don't realise that their Church
is DEAD! When I wrote AA7-3 of Spring 1999, about WAKING UP THE CHURCHES OF
GOD, that was no joke! But most sleepily meander along, fretting over petty
issues, ignoring the greatest single malaise in the Church – its spiritual
DEATH!! They have shut out the Spirit of God, and are trying to organise
things humanly. Hence all the infighting, squabbling, lack of consensus,
bickering, and poor outreach to the world, the almost absence of miraculous
power, etc., etc..
Miraculous power is the only language the
world recognises! But they’re not willing to learn how to receive it.
9th April, 1999. Dream of a Perverse
Man. Helena was given this dream about a man who was sexually perverse.
It was as if he was homosexual in his leanings. I don’t believe the dream is
meant to be taken literally. But she sensed it referred to Jim Rector (an
ex-WCG minister) and his ‘spirituality’. He comes across as harsh,
‘masculine’, without tenderness, humility or compassion. He is not
responsive in the spirit, and certainly he has been dead against the
‘feminine’ spiritual traits displayed by the Charismatics.
Meaning: Sexually perverse people are self-willed. That is the root
of JR’s problem. He is self-willed spiritually, and refuses to change his
views or to learn from me or anyone else who tries to teach him about the
need to soften up to the Spirit. (This applies equally to many other CoG
ministers.)
This self-will also stems from the fact
that he wants the pre-eminence, and has the mistaken view that our input,
WHICH GOD HAS GIVEN US FOR THE CHURCHES OF GOD, would detract from his
supremacy. He treats his mailing list as HIS, not as God’s children whom he
is temporarily feeding or nurturing. If he had the latter approach, he would
not have been averse to mentioning about our publications and recommending
them to his mailing list. But no, he won’t do that! He accuses me of
creating a following, when it is he who is guilty of that, and he is
cleverly trying to protect the status he has gained in the eyes of the
people.
One other thing. Perverse sexual behaviour
is abusive. JR is abusing God’s people by controlling their thinking and not
permitting them to hear from the full quota of apostles, prophets, and
evangelists in the Church – the other ‘pastures’ which Jesus leads them to.
He shuts the door to keep them in his fold only.
CoG folks have fallen asleep, playing
church. They are not following the lead of the Spirit. They don't hear God's
voice. Most don’t care to hear from Him because they are content to follow
their favourite church leader, whether Ron Dart, Rod Meredith, David Hulme,
Jim Rector, Ray Wooten, Dave Havir, or whoever.... Personalities have become
more important than the Person of Jesus Christ through the witness of His
Spirit.
17th August 1999. H. Dream of Archaic
Mansion. There were items of really old furniture there. Through a hole
in the floor, Helena noticed some items of valuable jewellery under the
floor. A was there and she was glad to see him.
Meaning: The CoG, with its archaic old pieces of doctrinal furniture,
but the things of real value are hidden away under the floor. They could see
them if they wanted to, but they don’t care to look.
16th August 1999. Helena. Dream of Mrs
S. Helena was doing the washing, while Mrs S had a huge deep sink fitted
in her kitchen. She was very proud of this big impressive new fitment.
Meaning: The pride of WCG folks in their new empty ‘vessels’ which
need filling and using.
23rd August. H. Dream of Leaders
Blocking Next Move of the Spirit. A friend who was on holiday in this
country phoned for a chat. I felt in the spirit that there was a gulf
between us. We had nothing in common and I puzzled over it. We shared so
much truth and yet there was division. We weren’t in unity. God gave me a
dream to clarify the situation. In this dream, there was a group of cousins
or relatives finding out about each other for the first time, and having
great conversation, sharing joy of discovering each other.
Meaning: this applies to different Christian groups, with similar
beliefs, i.e. Messianics and us. who could benefit
by sharing together what we possess in biblical truth. The overall feeling
was of a family coming together again. On the sideline were elders. One of
them had Jewish features. It was obvious he was a religious leader of
standing. He showed great displeasure at what was going on, and told the
others that he was not going to back this get together, and he certainly was
not going to commit his money to it. Great sadness fell on the little group
because of the decision of the elders. Whatever was developing there through
the Spirit was destroyed by the human leadership.
12th September 1999. Prophetic words given
to Malcolm Heap:
The WCG take lightly the blood of the Covenant! God is furious!
My coming (spiritual, not second visible
coming) is going to be seen throughout the earth as My people submit to Me
and accept Me more fully in their lives...
You all can be used. I can flow through
each of you, performing wonders as you submit your lives to Me, to allow Me
to lead you by My Spirit. The Spirit brings peace, reassurance, hope,
sustenance to those who are fully committed to Me.
There are those who think they have the
Spirit, but they don’t because they haven’t turned their lives fully over to
Me to let the Spirit work in them.
You have followed in My footsteps doing
the things I have created you to do. Just as I was created upon earth to do
the works of God when I lived, so I have created you to do the same works,
that you would fulfil the purpose for your life as I fulfilled Mine...
This is the day of My power. As you flow
in Me and I flow through you with the gifts of My Spirit so you shall
witness My life in you.
I do not despise any of My little ones.
They can all grow as they use whatever they are given to use. So cherish My
gifts and My presence in your life. As you submit to Me I will use you to
bring life and light to many. I am a compassionate God. As you show My
compassion, you will see My power flow. As you share that compassion, you
shall share My Spirit with others and you shall experience joy as I did with
My disciples when I was with them upon earth. And they shared in that joy
when they discovered that I am alive and no longer dead. You are sensing
that joy and life of resurrection.
I am on fire for My people, ready to
intervene on their behalf in any situation and circumstance they
encounter...
As you commit your life to Me so I shall
use you. For I am looking for a totally committed people...
The outpouring of the Spirit is like a
mighty torrent that cannot be assuaged. It will be experienced by those who
are totally committed to Me.
I am willing to come into any church in
this land, if they are willing to accept Me and all that I require of them.
But people are not willing to receive Me fully in their churches because
they walk in the flesh and do not accept the things of the Spirit...
(Walking in the flesh, not in the Spirit was repeated.)
[Jesus is not dead but is alive now,
continually walking amongst the candlesticks or lampstands, in the midst of
the churches...]
There are two things that are a hindrance
to your faith: Fear and self-centredness. Make a greater commitment to Me
and the bonds of fear will be broken, and selfishness will be overcome.
Don’t consider what others have as your
own. Use what little I have given you for the benefit of others and then I
will give you more to work with that you can be a greater blessing. For when
you look on the things of others as your own you are stealing from them and
I cannot bless you...
God is furious! The men who stand in the
way of what God is doing will be blown away. Leaders (church leaders) who
have defiled My inheritance will wish that they had never done so. God is
angry. Very angry.
He is angry with leaders in the Church. He
hates their hypocrisy, posing and posturing, and sham.... I am angry with
those who use My Word as a cover for their filth inside which they have not
dealt with through the blood of My Covenant. They have despised Me and taken
lightly the blood of My Covenant.
I am purifying My people that they will
learn to have reverence for the things that are holy.
13th September 1999. Malcolm. Arrogance
and Fear in WCG Ministers. F B and another WCG
minister were driving along in their car. Helena and I suddenly appeared in
their back seat. When they saw us behind them they were taken aback at
first. Fxxxx looked scared and I said "Hello Fxxxx", wanting to find a real
spirit of cameraderie between us but it was all rather hollow. I could tell
that there wasn’t any reciprocative feeling there. He didn’t respond.
For his colleague, driving, however, the response was different. He turned
round and very condescendingly in an arrogant, smooth, smarmy, pompous
manner, said: "If at any time we can be of help, by all means get in touch."
I put my hand on his shoulder and calmly responded: "Can I say something to
you?"
He replied, "Yes."
I said bluntly: "You know, you always talk down to people. With such
arrogance, you are the last person I would ever come to if I needed help!"
Meaning: The WCG mindset: arrogant and aloof, but wanting to appear
caring and good; thinking it is superior to others. Also fear restrains
many.
27th February 2000. Helena. Dream of 4
women laid in the bath. There was no water. The bodies of these women
were thin, emaciated, hardly alive.
Meaning: Symbolic of churches throughout the world (4). They need
cleansing through the Word (symbolised by water which washes clean), and
immersion in the water of the Spirit. Ministers are not giving the people
meat in due season, so the Spirit and Word cannot wash people clean. People
are so malnourished spiritually, they are dying.
27th February 2000. Helena. Second dream
of a woman in labour. I looked closer, and instead of a baby I saw a man’s
face. He looked odd, weird, twisted, but also a joker.
Meaning: The woman is the Church. She is giving birth to human
leadership who have been corrupted through wrong teaching. They try to
entertain congregations with jokes and humorous anecdotes, instead of giving
them spiritual food of real value.
27th February 2000. Helena dreamt of D
S (former WCG minister friend) coming to see us. We had many items that
were unusual, and he was determined to get one particular item. He went to
great trouble to get what he wanted.
Meaning: This man will turn later, after he sees God raise the dead
at our hands, and God will birth a real hunger inside him to have what we’ve
got.
20th March 2000. Helena. The Church is
Unprepared For Jesus’ Return! I visited
several houses. They had storage places under the floorboards full of pieces
of cloth. I was looking through these fabrics and couldn’t find any suitable
material which could be used. It was most frustrating.
Meaning: Most Christians collect religious information like bits and
pieces of cloth. But we have to have a garment of righteousness to PUT ON.
This needs to be large enough for the task. Clothing is to wear, not to
store underneath our floors, out of sight, like bits of fabric that have no
practical use. These people are not prepared for Jesus’ coming. They have
not got their white robes anywhere near ready, let alone on!
8th April 2000. Helena. Sunday
Observance: The Dirty Old Coat. A large group
of people, like army generals, were standing still and watching as I walked
to a dirty army coat lying on the ground. I picked it up and put it in the
bin in front of them all.
Meaning: One major sin in the churches today is Sunday-keeping.
Church leaders have done nothing about reforming this aspect. What is to
occur will cause this old overcoat to be dumped in full view of all these
church leaders.
13th April 2000. Helena. Our
Frustrating Lack of Support! I was trying to put a few stones and
pebbles into a wheelbarrow, but there were very few. I had to take the
mostly empty wheelbarrow on a journey. I felt frustration at not being able
to fill the barrow. I had to move on to a destination. At least I would get
some exercise, I thought.
Meaning: The frustrating lack of response to our work. Pebbles
represent people, but few want to come along with us in our work.
13th April 2000. Malcolm. I was at a
WCG meeting. It was a bit different to the way it used to be, but not
much.
The preacher was still hogging the ‘show’, making himself the centre of all
the proceedings. He no longer had a pulpit or a sound system (illustrating
how the ministry have come down in the world, and are no longer in such an
elevated position).
He had to stand in the middle of the congregation, shouting at the
congregation to get them to listen to him. He was preaching AT them, not to
help them. He was talking down to them. (Traditionally a problem in the WCG.
The ministry have never really taken the views, feelings or opinions of the
church into account, but have made decisions as if they were overlords and
then imposed them on the flock.)
This man was short in stature
(symbolising his spiritual standing before God) and used a lot of physical
force to preach (depicting the coercion, manipulation and control which WCG
ministers still use on their subjects).
27th May 2000. Helena. Authority in the
WCG is oppressive. In this dream I was staying with a few others at a
camp run by guards. At the gate sat a German guard watching everything that
went on. Those at the camp had to be careful about every step they made,
submitting to the surveillance of the guard. There was a lack of
communication and self-expression.
Meaning: This is the state of the WCG and most churches run by human
authority. WCG members were eyed with suspicion and lack of trust. This
stems from a demonic root, because there is lack of love in the
organisation.
God Has Raised Up This Ministry
To Provide Literature For The Church
And It Will Go Around the World To Many!
16th July 2000. Malcolm. Articulated
Lorries With Our Publications. This dream featured four big articulated
lorries. Although I could not see specifically what was in them, I knew
somehow that they were loaded with our ministry’s literature. I drove the
first one, Tonya the second, etc.. I said, "Follow after me...!"
Meaning: The primary value of our ministry is in the written materials.
They will go out in bulk around the world.
28th September 1999. Malcolm. Dream of 12 Stepping
Stones on the ground. These formed a sure foundation upon which we could
walk. They paved the way – a right way on the earth.
Meaning: They symbolise ‘our’ teaching which God has given us for
others’ benefit. 12 depicts God’s government. This teaching is preparing the
Bride of Christ who will govern the earth with Jesus during the Millennium.
More about the ‘anointing’ which is on this ministry is
given on page 76.
1st December 2000. Malcolm. My Name is Called Out!
Dreamed that I was sitting at the back of our meeting hall, in the corner. I
was quite happy being there. But suddenly someone called out loud "Malcolm
Heap" as if he were announcing my name for some important reason, and I had
to come forward.
Meaning: I do not seek to be noticed. I don’t want prominence or like
to be in the limelight. I would prefer to stay unnoticed (‘in the corner’)
and be a ‘back row boy’. But God has other things in mind and I must do what
He has called me to do. He shows that it will involve publicity and
prominence, so I have to accept it.
8th October 2001. M. Miracles wherever we go. We
were going to various places, taking God’s truth. Wherever we went a
remarkable miracle occurred.
God always backs up His prophets with miraculous power and signs.
25th January. 2001. Malcolm. Regimentation and Control
in the Church. I was shown many people all standing in tightly
regimented rows and blocks. They were so regimented that not one was out of
line. There was a woman over them who controlled them. This woman was a lady
we knew in the WCG. She was a 'good' woman (or so people thought!). She was
always 'serving'. She made the tea after services. She was a Martha in that
church. She was kind and friendly. She was a nice person to know. She was
submissive to her husband, to the church, to the church’s ministry, etc. She
really seemed to be a paragon of virtue in the church. But all that was on
the outside. What we could not see at that time was what was in her heart.
All her behaviour stemmed from a desire to look good in the eyes of others.
She operated from the basis of fear of man, not fear of God.
When we were cast out of that church and falsely accused,
she knew it was unjust treatment. She went to the pastor who did the dirty
deed, and asked him why he had done it. He said little to really enlighten
her. But he encouraged her to fall in line with his wishes. She did. She did
nothing effectively to follow her conscience which was bothering her about
our mistreatment.
Some years later, we tried to contact her. We went to her
home, and we got a hostile reception. She had allowed the devil to push the
door of her mind open through the false minister who disfellowshipped us,
and she had accepted obeisance to him instead of obeisance to God. She lost
truth. She lost the Holy Spirit. She lost her salvation. God showed me in a
dream that she was not saved and cannot be rescued because she chose to deny
God by exalting the church and its human leadership.
Why did God show me her in this dream? Because she
represents the religious spirit in people who 'play church'. She was
religious. She was 'good'. She did 'good' things. She acted out the part.
She was the 'God-fearing' lady. (Appearances can be very deceptive!) But she
was subservient to satanic control in the church, and she furthered Satan's
aims through hierarchic dominance, and through control. There is a parallel
in many churches today. It’s in WCG and all the Churches of God. And it’s
devilish, satanic, evil!
Where there is hierarchic dominance over others, where
there is a situation of "we are the ministry; you are the members", or the
"us-and-them" mentality, of ecclesiastics and laity, you have the devil's
system masquerading as God's.
In this dream, this lady was shown as taking my keys; my
house key and the key to my car. Thus, she was effectively taking away my
freedom to go where God wanted me to go, and to live how He had decreed. By
doing this, she took God's place in my life (this was in the dream, not in
actuality). Every minister must be careful he is not doing that
inadvertently with those to whom he ministers. Church leaders who do this,
end up being their 'pope'. Through money and power, church leaders can
easily get elevated. Money and power can puff up. They give influence to the
one who has them. It is not always easy to prevent those wrong impulses
damaging God's work.
And when men (who are meant to be servants) find
themselves in this position of power, they can easily abuse it through
regimentation or control. Spiritual control in the Church is satanic. The
spirit behind it is the spirit of witchcraft!
12th February 2001. Malcolm. David Sxxxx. In this
dream, God showed that David was concerned about evangelism. He was praying
often for God to show him what he needed to know or understand about this.
Every time he prayed, he was given my name. He wrote me a note on a tiny
piece of paper in the smallest handwriting. It was so small that it was
difficult for me to read it. After I read it I realised that all his
questions would be answered by our book Dreams and Visions From God.
Meaning: The WCG is going nowhere because it has no evangelistic
outreach. This must be of great concern to David and others like him. God is
speaking to him to take note of what I have written (which is not written
for my ‘glory’ but for the benefit of the Church), and when he finally does
make contact, he will feel very small because of all that God has done for
us. God is saying in the dream that his questions are answered in Dreams and
Visions From God.
21st March 2001. Malcolm. Obstinacy and Deadness in
the Church. A woman went to a large church building to preach a message
which God had given her. To begin with there were songs and praise, which
everyone participated in and enjoyed. Then a man stood up to introduce this
lady and to pray for God’s blessing on her message. Even if he hadn’t
prayed, it would have been good anyway. (Prayer for her wasn’t necessary,
but it’s a custom in most churches to pray for God’s inspiration on the
message.) Somehow I knew that it was going to be really anointed. That was a
foregone conclusion because God had sent her there! The church was half full
(or half empty might be a better way of stating it), but before she started
to speak, half the people got up and left. They didn’t even care to hear
what she had to say! There were many empty seats after this exodus.
Meaning: Many people have lost interest in what God has to say to
them. And of those who seem to care and who take some part in Christian
worship, half of them aren’t open to what God must say to the Church at this
time about His judgement that is befalling this land, and which will
intensify.
1st April 2001. Malcolm. The Lewdness of the Church.
A woman was talking with some other people (depicting her mingling with
society). She had a gown half covering her body, but it was quite clear that
she was lewd. She was exposing herself carelessly. Then something happened
and her gown came right off and she was totally naked. But, the astonishing
thing to me was that she didn’t care! One other thing God conveyed was that
she was quite skinny.
Meaning: A pictorial representation of the Church at this time. It is
spiritually careless, morally lewd, and undernourished.
13th May 2001. Malcolm. F B. It was night time.
This WCG minister was asleep in his bedroom, but Helena and I were there
too. He was up one end and we were at the other.
Meaning: Although he has tried to ignore us and forget us, we are right
inside his life now. God has worked out circumstances so that he cannot hide
from us. (Our literature went to him via another person.)
11 months later, God gave another dream about him,
showing that he had made some progress, but was still holding back:
9th June 2002. Malcolm. F B came towards us in his
Mercedes. Although he was coming towards us, he parked it a long way away,
in a road lined with trees. It was very pleasant there, leafy and shady. He
didn’t want to get too close. Meaning: He chooses the more comfortable
situation at the moment.
25th May 2001. M. People assume that the law of God is
done away. The council had put on some sort of function. I think it was
a concert, and in the review of this function in the newspaper the writer
had made some comment about the law of God. She said something that was
totally illogical, but which revealed the prevalent view that the biblical
law of God is done away. The fact which was presented in support of the
claim was totally irrelevant to the conclusion drawn. And that conclusion
was merely a rehash of what most people think the Christian Church believes
on this subject – that the law of God has been abandoned.
This dream came as I was revising the booklet Apostasy in
God’s Church! ready for republication. In there, I explain that apostasy is
a departure from, and abandonment of the truth and the Truth. The Christian
Church, for the most part, has abandoned the faith once delivered, abandoned
the law of God, and abandoned God who is our ultimate Lawgiver! And the
layperson has accepted the prevalent view that the law of God has been
abandoned, even though the reasoning behind this conclusion is totally inept
and illogical. Its basis is really self-will. People don’t want to obey God,
and that’s that.
27th June 2001. Malcolm. 2 dreams about Gxxxx V and the
WCG.
1) The WCG finally folded up and Gxxxx (a former associate in that church)
was looking for a new fellowship arrangement. He contacted me and was
enquiring about meeting together. I asked him if he wanted to fellowship
with us, but he was not happy about that arrangement. Instead, he expected
us to come and fellowship with him.
Meaning: This man was a side-kick of WCG ministers and was appointed
by their hierarchy to preach sermonettes. But the appointment to positions
of authority in the church bred attitudes of pride, arrogance, aloofness and
spiritual superiority. The dream illustrated this. The guy considered that
we should be subservient to him in some sort of hierarchic pecking order,
and that he is superior to us. To condescend to join in with our fellowship
was out of the question. He considers that he has little to learn from us.
This is typical of the vile attitude and approach in arrogant WCG overlords
who always want to be pre-eminent. They don’t look on fellowship meetings as
opportunities to meet with God, but to exercise their own dominion over
others! G has still got this pathetic mentality.
2) In this dream I was planning to sing a song for special music during a
church meeting. This was again as if I was associating with the WCG. (The
dream was given to show their spiritual attitude and approach, not that I
will actually associate with them.) The song I had chosen was particularly
poignant. It contained some words about a knife doing its work (implying
that it would cut out the wickedness of man’s heart, or kill evil, or
something like that). It had a deep spiritual meaning. But Tonya said to me
that it wouldn’t be a good idea to sing that song because they would take it
the wrong way. Being so unspiritual, narrow-minded, and prejudiced against
me, they would think it was provocative, coercive, aggressive, or wrong in
some way. They would fail to realise its spirituality and would be offended
by it.
Meaning: The WCG’s unspirituality and hostility towards me causes
them to fail to accept our corrective message.
3rd September 2001. Malcolm. Chaos at the WCG! In
the spirit I was shown the WCG by analogy. The meeting hall was a mess!
Things were strewn everywhere. Nothing was tidy. [This is a metaphor for
their confused teachings. Demons are the cause of confusion. They destroy
order and beauty.] An important meeting was supposed to begin at 12 o’clock,
but it was already 11.45 and there was no way this mess would be sorted out
by then! [The meeting is that for which the Church was created – to meet
Jesus, and come into full spiritual union with Him.]
I went to a toilet. [I was put in the position of someone in that church.
The toilet is symbolic of their need to get rid of waste, i.e. error.] It
seemed a long walk to get there. On the way, there was a door right in the
middle of the large hall. I locked it behind me after walking through it.
But the door was in the open; it was not fixed in a wall, so it was
pointless locking it! [Symbolic of the stupidity of some of their
thoughtless behaviour.] When I finally got to the loo, I had to go through
two doors to get in. [Depicts how hard it is for these people to get to the
point where they can get rid of their wrong ideas.]
Then, in the spirit, it was conveyed that they owed me £9,000, but they were
unable to pay it.
Meaning: 9 is symbolic of judgement. It has cost me dearly to try to
help these people, to show them the truth, to help deliver them from their
spiritual mess. There is no way they can pay me back for what I have
sacrificed to try to deliver them.
13th October. 2001. Malcolm. Tom S. I phoned him.
After their receiver was picked up, I heard Tom say quietly to the one who
had picked up the phone, "I’m not in." The little voice answered the phone
and I asked to speak to Tom. She replied, "I’m sorry but he’s not in." I
replied, "Yes he is. May I speak to him." Tom couldn’t hide any more and had
to come to the phone.
Meaning: The dream reveals how he doesn’t really want to face me or
the most pressing issues.
9th March 2002. Malcolm. The state of the Church.
In this dream, the Church was represented by two properties. One
was tall and thin, about three storeys high, like an old townhouse. The
other was more like a mansion, spread out and spacious. The latter was
appealing, the former was not, but neither was modern. They were both
antiquated.
Three builders lived at the 'mansion'. There was a large gravel driveway,
which was very convenient for them. They could park their vehicles there –
two vans and a lorry. I got the impression that the property, despite being
the more appealing of the two, was run down and neglected, because the
builders' attention was more focussed on their work outside.
[Meaning: This is a parody of the charismatic church, which lacks
fuller truth which could build up the Church spiritually. They are reaching
out a lot to new people.]
Then, I saw the other property, the narrow, restrictive 'townhouse'. In
fact, at one time I had wanted to renovate this property, but when I saw it
now, I was glad that I hadn't been given the task. I saw the face of this
building completely removed. The building was gutted, and a real mess! Now
that the exterior wall had been removed, it revealed the dreadful mess the
entire place had been inside! Now it was opened up everyone could see what a
shambles it is!
[Meaning: An allegory of the more restrictive Sabbatarian sector of
the Church.]
3rd May 2002. Malcolm. Just Around The Corner For This
Work.
We had a big top, a circus tent. It was huge. Inside this marquee were
many exhibits. Much was being offered, and a great deal had been assembled
for people to enjoy and gain from.
Then there was a massive downpour. Some of the rain came through the roof
and, although I could not see what damage it had caused, I knew that it must
have caused some destruction.
Meaning: The dream portrays in symbol, this ministry in the near
future, after expansion. What is on offer under this canopy are many
publications that have been assembled over the past ten or eleven years.
Their positive impact and appeal seemed to be indicated in the dream. But
Satan is out to destroy the value of God’s liberating truth. In symbol, the
devil tries to harness the heavy rain as a destructive force.
21st July 2002. Malcolm. The Message of the Cross.
I was erecting a wooden cross, that looked so authentic. It was
horrific to see it and realise that Jesus had to die on it! I was putting it
up in a very restricted space. One of the horizontal arms had collapsed and
I had to put it up again. It was the one on the right of it. What I realised
I had to do was to make people aware of the reality of the cross. I was
making it real to them. That was the purpose of putting up this life-like
replica of it.
Meaning: There are two ‘arms’ to the Church’s teaching. On the left
is the liberal wing, on the right is the conservative. One symbolises grace,
the other represents law. The responsibility we have to obey God’s law is
not properly understood in most of the Church, hence that arm has ‘dropped’
down. It is not upheld by most Christians. Our job is to make people realise
why Jesus had to die – because everyone has broken His law. Each and every
infraction of God’s law requires the death penalty. Most Christians don’t
realise this. So, the purpose of Christ’s awful death FOR THEM is not fully
appreciated. Most just think of His death and the reason for it as a
philosophy, not as a reality. To be blunt: Jesus died BECAUSE YOU BROKE HIS
LAW – the law of the 10 commandments.
27th July. Malcolm. Revival! The Spiritual Feast.
I saw beefburgers on brown bread or toast, being served. People
were coming from far and wide to collect them. Some drove all the way from
Scotland to get them! I thought they were crazy! In the physical it made no
sense to come and collect a burger, but these represented the meat of the
Word of God which we were offering, and these people were that hungry for
God’s truths!
Helena had a dream also, which showed that former WCG
friends, who are now in CoGs, will thank us and be grateful for the
deliverance they will receive beginning with the Understanding The Mind of
God series of booklets. (The dream was given during the week these were
being revised and prepared for reprinting.)
Dreams From Correspondents
Kassahun Ayele, an independent evangelist in Ethiopia was
given dreams about me and about what God is doing through this ministry.
They are verification to you from God, of this Work for Him. Here are some
recent ones:
5th June 2001. Kassahun Ayele. Malcolm Clothed in White.
I saw Malcolm in the house. He was clothed with gabbi.
(Traditional garment of Ethiopia. It is very white. People clothed in it in
winter to be warm.)
He was writing something very powerful which
revolutionised the whole world. I was glad by his commitment.
23rd May 2001. Kassahun Ayele. Dream of Many People Responding to the Literature.
It seems that I was praying in my office. It was Sabbath.
It was also night. Suddenly someone knocked on my door. After I had finished
my prayer I went to open the door. I couldn’t see anyone outside. I went to
search but I couldn’t see anything. Puzzled, I went again to my office. To
my surprise the office was filled with people. I saw all the truth-loaded
sample copies [of Midnight Ministries’ publications] hanging on the wall and
exhibited them.
Most of the people gathered there were elderly. I began
to tell them about our publications and to share with others whatever they
want from all our publications. They agreed with joy.
Comment: It was the Sabbath. [This is an emphasis in the
teaching / evangelistic commission which God has given Kassahun.] It was
also night [we live in spiritually dark times]. Suddenly there was a knock
at the door, but he couldn’t see anyone outside. [Jesus causes people to
respond to the message he preaches.] When he went back into his office, it
was full of people, [perhaps this signifies that the people will be reached
through sending mail] and all the literature was displayed on the walls of
the office [the publications reach many people and have a ‘high profile’
because they can be passed around in personal evangelism]. Most of these
people were elderly [perhaps depicts the fact that mature believers will
appreciate what we have written, more than the newly converted]. Joy came
into their lives as a result of the truth we could pass on to them.
3rd June 2001. Isaya Owak, Kenya.
Dream of New Jerusalem.
I had a dream that my firstborn and I were watching the
rising moon, the moon was full and lovely to watch. As we were watching the
moon, it split into two and started to bounce like a ball. I told my
daughter to look at the bouncing moon.
Secondly, it turned to be a very high storey building and
the voice came and said, "The New Jerusalem." After that it turned again
like the tent which the Israelites had when they were in the wilderness,
then the voice said, "The Tent of Meeting."
Lastly, the moon turned again to be a big city and the
voice said, "New Jerusalem." I was very happy when I was seeing it.
Comment: This is an overview of the Church
until the Millennium. The moon reflects the light of the sun, as the Church
reflects the light (truth and goodness) of God in this dark world.
The moon dividing into two occurred when
the Church embraced false doctrine after the ‘Apostolic era’. We still have
a split Church today; it is divided over the Sabbath / Sunday issue. This
has caused the Church to ‘bounce’ like a ball. Satan has kicked it around
through false doctrine.
As truth is restored to the Church and as
false doctrine is thrown out, the Church becomes more stable. It is meant to
stand as a high, many-storied building, a landmark for the world to see.
This it will soon become through the work of restoring the truth of the
Sabbath to its rightful place in church practice. Although many Christians
will still dismiss this aspect and stay with false Sunday traditions, the
restoration of the Sabbath and God’s festivals will cause it to become that
noteworthy building for a short time, before it is reduced to being a lesser
edifice.
During a period of trial and testing in
Israel, they did not become established. They lived an uncertain existence
in the wilderness, helped only by God’s Hand. So it will be shortly for all
Christians. The ‘Tent of Meeting’ or the ‘Tabernacle’ depicts the passage of
the true Church through the Tribulation that is coming after the imminent
restoration of Sabbaths and festivals. Then, when Jesus returns and
establishes His Millennium, these truths will receive universal acceptance,
depicted by New Jerusalem being not merely one tall building again, but an
entire city!
These additional comments also explain:
(Parts of dream in bold type.)
The moon was full and lovely to watch.
This portrays God’s spiritual love and desire for His people (the Church).
When she accepts and desires His righteousness, she is attractive and lovely
to Him.
As you were watching the moon, it split
into two and started to bounce like a ball. When God presents new truth to
His people, some accept it, some don’t. Those who don’t accept God’s
revelation cause a split to develop. They don’t move ahead in the flow of
the Spirit. Satan is able to buffet them and push them around, hence the
imagery of the moon bouncing like a ball.
Then it turned into a very high building,
and a voice said "the New Jerusalem". The future of the Church is to be the
dwelling place of God – the New (heavenly) Jerusalem, as depicted at the end
of the book of Revelation. But before she can reach that stage, she must go
through hard times in the wilderness, so to speak (compared to the tent of
meeting which the Israelites had in the desert). This was a time of testing
for Israel, to ‘prove’ her – to see whether she would walk in God’s ways or
not.
Read the passages about Israel’s failure
to trust and obey God in the wilderness. There are several accounts in the
OT, some in Moses’ writings. One summary is in Psalm 106. This depicts human
nature, and God is drawing your [yours and the Church’s] attention to that
through the dream. There are also parallel passages in Neh 9; Is 63 and Ez
20.
Finally, the moon turned into a big city
and you were overjoyed when you saw it. This is the end result of those who
endure to the end, who trust and obey God now in this ‘wilderness’
experience of our physical lives. If we remain faithful to the end, God will
reward us with this heavenly reward and we can dwell with Him. It will be
the most ecstatic and joyful experience!
Have You Accepted Spiritual Gifts Yet?
Dream of Missing Something (10th July
2001).
I had a dream that I was in England in
Malcolm’s house. With me were Tonya and Malcolm working in a computer room
as usual. I wanted to put on my white shirt and I noticed that one button
was missing on my shirt. I asked myself, "How will I put on my shirt with
this button missing?" After that Tonya volunteered to remove one button from
her white blouse and sew it on my shirt.
Meaning: I am missing something which
Tonya has, that I have to take from her [learn from her example] so that we
may move on in unity. This is the gift of praying in tongues that Tonya has
but I do not have.

Comment: This was a gentle ‘nudge’ from
God to be more diligent in seeking, accepting and nurturing spiritual gifts.
In Isaya’s case, God wanted him to accept the gift of tongues. He has now
accepted and received that spiritual gift. It is a very useful gift, to be
able to pray in tongues, so that you allow the Holy Spirit to directly
inspire you in what you pray and say. Tongues is explained in An
Introduction to the Spiritual Gifts (£2.00) and Holy Fire! (£2.00).
Sharing In The Anointing
Some new readers may be surprised by the
dreams given to these people. Dreams and visions are spiritual ‘gifts’ which
God gives according to His will, to provide guidance and encouragement.
(Explained in An Introduction to the Spiritual Gifts, £2.00.)
People wonder, "Why would God give such
significant dreams to some of those who are in touch with you?" Well, God
loves to share all His spiritual gifts with all who can accept them (1 Cor
12:6-26). And dreams are among those gifts and revelations that He shares
(Acts 2:17).
Moreover, Elijah taught others in a
‘school of prophets’. The first mention of the school (or company) of
prophets is in 1 Kings 20:35. This school may have been started by Samuel.
Elijah taught many men to rely upon God in faith (2 Kings 2:3), and Elisha
continued the tradition (2 Kings 4). Where others receive the correct
teaching and have a right heart with God, faith enters, and they can receive
the benefit of the ‘anointing’ which goes with the calling of the prophet.
Those who recognise the ‘anointing’ which
God has placed upon our ministry, and who acknowledge to God that He has
appointed me as a prophet, are able to comprehend and benefit from the
revelations God gives us. This is the "prophet’s reward" (Matt 10:40-41).
When pride prevents people acknowledging – not us, but God’s moving through
us – they forfeit the prophet’s reward. They stay in ignorance and spiritual
mediocrity.
Those who have received our witness –
whose hearts are right with God, who share in our commitment to the Almighty
– share in that prophetic ‘anointing’. They receive dreams and visions, and
can sometimes perform the function of a prophet in their localities – of
course, according to God’s will and purpose. Thus, God may give them
revelations to benefit the people in their area, or even the whole nation
where they live (if those people were spiritually open to their message –
most, however, are not receptive!)
Validating This Prophetic Ministry
Because God’s calling upon me is primarily
to lay down a foundation of doctrine for the Church in written publications,
readers can benefit greatly in reading ‘our’ writings. The ‘anointing’ is
contained in what God has had me put on paper.
Prophecy [inspired utterance and inspired
writing] never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God [NU text] as
they were moved [carried along] by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 2:21).
The way I have written with God’s guidance
is no different from how God moved the biblical writers or vocal prophets.
To validate or confirm God’s inspiration
on us, God has given others a witness from the Spirit that this is so, as I
have related on pages 74-76. There are many others also. Here is one from
Malawi:
21st March 2002
My wife had a dream. In her dream she saw a very big
crusade meeting. But there was great darkness so that one person could not
see another. Then from the far dark distance appeared a little light that
was coming towards the ground. The light grew bigger. It was seen that he
was a tall man wearing a white robe who carried a lamp in his hand [Jesus].
He came and made his way into the ground and stood at the
pulpit and put the lamp on top of a large box. The light from the lamp then
made the whole place to have great light, as if it was day. He opened a box
and took out different books of Midnight Ministries and started to give to
each of the people who was there. And there was good light so that everyone
was to open a book and read. God bless!

Also, the following are revelations which God gave to
Isaya Owak in Kenya, as he read our publications, confirming this fact.
The ‘Anointing’ Is On Our Writings!
9/8/01. I was reading the book Introduction to the
Spiritual Gifts, pages 17-18, where it was written Matt 10:40-41. I heard a
word in my mind: "Isaya, you have received a prophet, do you see? You are
benefiting from a prophet."
"Yes", and I said, "and I want more spiritual benefit."
When I reached page 21 topic Prophecy, I was seeing a
vision that somebody with white garment (robe) [Jesus] was holding Malcolm's
hand and he was taking him towards somebody. He held Malcolm's hand and the
other man's hand.
I asked: "Who is that fellow?"
The man replied "Michael Howard."
And I ask, "Why do you hold their hands?"
He said, "I want them to work together in My Vineyard."
Michael Howard was not having brown hair like Malcolm’s,
his hair was a bit blacker in colour.
I continued reading this book and reaching page 24 where
a prophet from America prophesied about Malcolm. Then I remember what God
put in my mind when I was in England on 9/4/01 in Luke 21:15-16. Reaching
page 25 where it mentions Isaiah 6, I remembered the audible voice I heard
when I was walking down the road. It said, "Tell Mr Heap to stand firm and
open the eyes of the Kenyans." [The entire message is in Newsletter 8, page
3.]
[In John 14:26 Jesus promises that when the Spirit comes
He will remind you of the very words Jesus has spoken previously.]
10/8/01. Coming into my house, I took the new pamphlet
Zechariah's Amazing Prophecy. I started reading it. I reached page 4
paragraph 4, and the holy Spirit whispered to me: "I do not want division in
the Church."
I was given 1st Corinthians 1:10-18 and the Holy Spirit
also says: "I want you to write your last letter to Joel Meeker to prove if
he is My servant or not. His response will tell you which side he is on.
Tell him that you want to work with him to direct people to God. Time is
short. There is no time to be wasted."
(Meeker didn’t respond to Isaya. Churches of God and
their ministers don’t want to co-operate with us. False ministers want
pre-eminence for themselves, which is a satanic trait.)
TONGUES and INTERPRETATION
10/8/01
I was praying before I went to bed and the Holy Spirit
moved me to pray in tongues. When I was praying, I saw Malcolm sitting
somewhere. After praying in tongues I was given the meaning. "This is My
son. I have chosen him. Do not worry about all that is coming, be it
financially or anything that might come. You must be tested, you must pass
through the Refiner’s fire."
After this I was praying in my language, and before I
finished, my mouth switched and I started praying in tongues again. That
time I was asking God to intervene between Joseph Osoo, Benard and me.
[These people are opposing Isaya. One has threatened to kill him.] I
received the interpretation and it was: "Victory. You will excel. Victory is
assured. You will win the war."
Isaya Owak, Kenya
It is no coincidence that while Isaya was reading the
publications which God has had us write, God spoke to him and gave him
revelations. God confirms His Word by signs following it (Mk 16:20).
One sign of a true prophet is in the dreams which God gives him. I have
given you some of those in this publication, so that you may believe the
message of correction and exhortation which comes from God. The proper
response to the sign is to believe. When you do, you can receive the
prophet’s reward – which is to understand his message and reorientate your
life accordingly. Then the blessing of God can come.

God speaks to His prophets
today just as He spoke to His prophets of old. One very expressive avenue of communication
is via dreams and visions (Num 12:6).
The leadership of the Worldwide Church of God is under God's
condemnation for:
1) defying Him in their spiritual promiscuity,
2) maintaining their spiritual control over the minds of their subjects, and
3) repudiating the words of the prophets He sends to correct and redirect them.
