Dreams From God
About the WCG
God speaks
to His prophets1 today just as He spoke to His prophets of old.
One very expressive means is via dreams and visions (Num 12:6).
The
appropriate response to a revelation from God is to humble yourself, and
change, to receive His mercy. Will you? Or will you arrogantly refuse the
correction - like in times past - and repudiate the prophet God has sent!?
There is
a reward to those who heed. It's the prophet's reward, which you gain when
you receive him and the One who sent him (Matt 10:40, 41).
God has
spoken, as you will see in what follows. I hope you can receive His words.
This publication
contains many of the dreams which God has given me, my wife and some
others who were with us at the time when God ‘spoke’. They all concern the
Worldwide Church of God.
In the nineties, dramatic changes took place in the WCG.
After repudiating the voices which God sent to warn them of corruption and
sin within, their spiritual and organisational demise was inevitable. This
collapse, and the prophetic witness that preceded it, are recounted in
God Speaks To The WCG (£2.00 from Midnight Ministries). But, though
judgement has fallen (and continues daily), God has not stopped warning
through His prophets.
Where people will listen, God never ceases to warn. His
warnings are not vindictive nor vengeful. They may be stern and
uncompromising. But they stem from His great love and concern for all people
– even for those who despise Him and who reject His ways. He always holds
out a hand of clemency, ready to accept anyone who will turn from evil and
seek good.
He is good, and the dreams which follow are a
reflection of His goodness measured in the crucible of His correction.
On 26th February 1993, this dream came to me by the Spirit of God.
There was a long queue of people waiting in line to talk
to a young minister. He had much to deal with and couldn’t help the people.
[God is illustrating the spiritual inadequacy of the WCG and its ministry.]
I walked up to him and asked who he was in an amicable way. [People
misunderstand my motives, but God here illustrates what He knows is in my
heart.] I didn’t know this man. Then I walked past him and stood a few paces
away. As people came from talking with the WCG minister, I went up to ask if
I could help.
The first man had a metal pin in his leg, which had
penetrated the bone. [Illustrates the horrendous spiritual problems people
in the WCG have.] He didn’t know what to do to get it out. It was making him
lame. I bent down and pulled it out for him. [If people would read our
materials, they could be set free from the horrendous demonic curses to
which they are subjected.] It wasn’t as painful as he had expected. [Most
fear to read what we have written. This demonic response is inbred through
WCG propaganda and conditioning. But deliverance can only come by the
acceptance of the fulness of the Spirit of God. And deliverance from WCG
psychology or dogma is not as painful as their prejudice leads them to
think.] Things seemed to be all right for him after that. (In the dream, I
prayed for his healing and God honoured my request.)
Dream of Four Water Tanks
An ex-WCG friend was staying with us about that time, and
because of his association with us, God gave him this dream to confirm His
approval and calling upon our lives and ministry:
He saw four water tanks. Three of them were fairly large
and one was comparatively much smaller. These tanks represented offshoots of
the WCG with which this man (I will call him ‘Jim’) was familiar. They were
all supposed to filter water that passed through them.
At that time there were three major spin offs of the WCG
which Jim knew of: Church of God International run by Garner Ted Armstrong
and Ron Dart, Philadelphia Church of God under Gerald Flurry, and Triumph
under William Dankenbring. The fourth tank represented our ministry, which
was much maligned, not only by WCG but also by all the other spin offs, and
so was comparatively small in influence and seemingly of much less
significance.
The water coming into each tank was dirty and needed
filtering. This represents how people have not been properly cleansed by
being in the WCG, and need spiritual and mental cleansing. People inherit
doctrinal, mental and spiritual impurities from their association with the
WCG – and its offshoot church organisations.
As the water passed through each of the three big tanks,
instead of being properly filtered and cleansed, it came out dirty, except
for the little tank at the end of the line. This tank filtered out the
impurities and the water was clear and pure because it was filtered by the
Holy Spirit.
That was Jim’s dream, and it was given to him to confirm
that what God was doing with us was of great spiritual benefit to those who
really want to be spiritually clean. Unfortunately, he didn’t! Which was
another reason God gave him this dream, and not someone else. He
later stepped back and chose to continue his selfish lifestyle, rather than
live one of sacrifice with us in order to help deliver those oppressed by
WCG false teachings and psychology.
God is ingenious and He knows how to trap the rebellious
and self-willed!
What follows in these pages will bring more opposition
from the stubborn and hard-hearted, but so be it, if it must. To God we
look, not man...
...for I am
poor and needy (Ps 109:22).
...and the words which follow are not merely mine, as
anyone with spiritual gumption will see. So I say to the One who has given
us these revelations:
Save me
according to Your mercy, that they may know that this is Your hand; that
You, Lord, have done it. Let them curse, but You bless; when they arise, let
them be ashamed, but let Your servant rejoice (Ps 109:26-28).
So it shall be.
