8^th Day - 15th Year!

8^th Day of The 1^st Month

10-11-2009

1^st Day of the Week, which is called Sunday!

"The Morning!"
 

How amazing You are, O Lord!  I was given a dream last night, and then when I went to read the website, http://www.xmeah.com/279th_Day_30th_Year.html I was reading about how the old ways that were changed a little at a time, until nothing was left of them.  This was similar to a dream the Lord gave me, and that is why I marveled when I read it! 

The dream the Lord gave me showed that I was told to go and visit some church congregations, like we used to do.  I had gotten to one congregation very early and only I was there and another black woman.  The preacher did greet us, and then he stood at the door waiting for the others to come in.  The way the place was set up, it looked like a wedding was about to take place.  I know that the First Day of the Week, is called the "Marriage Supper," and this is where we are being made right to be married to the Lord!  The chairs were fold up, white chairs, like the kind that is used in outdoor weddings.  I was sitting in the very back. 

The place quickly filled up with people.  It was an all black congregation.  There were some young people sitting across the aisle from me, and my two oldest children, Joshua and Felicia left to go sit with them.  I saw them sitting there talking and I did not like it, so I told them to get back over there, where I was.  Joshua was going to get baptized, because his first baptism was not acceptable to the Lord, in this dream.  I saw that there was a large baptismal pool there in the front, and next to it was the podium, where the preacher would stand.

Then the Services started.  I saw a woman playing a piano, and I looked over her shoulder as she played, to see the keys she was hitting, so I could do the same thing on my keyboard.  I saw how she was making the background music while people sang, but she was not playing the actual tune they sang.  At the end of each verse, she would play a little melody, and then go back to the background sound as the people sang.  She told me that she did not know how to play the piano, but I thought she played rather well, for someone who said they did not know how to play!

Then I saw that there were people getting baptized!  I saw two men get in a pool and they were holding two people.  There were four people in the pool all at the same time.  I saw the two men stand behind the other two people, put their arms around them and then, lower them into the water and hold them there!  They were going to hold them under the water for about two minutes!  One person that was underwater was a black female, in a blue dress, and I saw that she was about to drown!  She was waving her arms up, above the water, wanting help!  The man let her up for a second, so she could breathe and then put her under the water again!  He said that she had to be underwater for at least two minutes so that all of her sins could be washed away!

What?  This is not the Way of the Lord!  I ran up to the podium where the preacher was and I grabbed his hand asking him, "Are these Men of God?" 

He looked down at me, kind of puzzled by my question, and asked me, trying to understand my question, "Are these men of God?  Are they like us?"

I repeated my question.  "Are these Men of God?  Are they Preachers?"

He said, "No."

Then I released his hand and said, "This is not the Way of the Lord!" and I turned and left!

What they were doing was not the way the Lord said that baptisms are supposed to take place!  They were holding people under the water for long periods of time as if the water would physically wash the sins away!  And the longer they were in the water, the more clean they would be!  If the person did not remain in the water for the entire two minutes, then not all of the sins were washed away, and they would have to do it again!  This belief was ridiculous and I was angry at this display I saw, that was portrayed as Christianity!  It is the same anger I felt towards our children, when I saw them getting into a little group of teenagers and disrespecting God!  They should have known better and they knew why we were there in that place!  But yet, even though they called themselves Christians, they were not showing the ways of Christianity!  And neither was, what the preacher was allowing to take place, the Way of the Lord! 

I know the Lord was angry, because I was angry at what was being shown and displayed as being the Way of Christ!  Where were the old ways?  They changed it and were showing a new way as being acceptable.  And the people did not know that this was not right!  I knew it was not right, because I have a true preacher, who taught me the right way! 

I know that what is being shown, in these days, as being the Way of Christ, is nothing like that which was in the days of old, when the Lord Jesus walked the earth and set it straight!  I know that when I hear about how things were back then and look at it now, it is no way in comparison to what was shown with the Early Church!  But the true believers will believe this Report, and they will see that it is all out of the way and they will revert back to the old ways!  We have to get to what the Lord said, where we will outshine the early church!  So the latter Church has to get back in the Way!  Amen!  How marvelous the dream is that You gave and how awesome it is to see that You gave a similar dream to Xmeah, the Man of God, last night!  That is amazing to me!  How great You are, O Lord, and blessed is Your Understanding that You send forth to us, through Xmeah!  Amen! 

In the dream, I had thoughts about what Xmeah told me years ago, that The Church Of Christ will baptize a person at any time they want to be baptized!  That is a good thing that they have.  But as it says in Revelation, "but I have something against you!"  The Lord Jesus pointed out to all the Churches, which was said the 7 Churches, what He likes about them and what He still has against them.  Some things they were doing were right, but yet, He still had some things against them, that they were doing wrong, and these are the things that need to be cleared up, so that they can be accepted by the Lord God Almighty in the Day of Judgment!

I have seen things when we go to different congregations, and the main thing is that none of these places operate the same way, even if they are called by the same name!  In the times of old, it was spoken about a person could go from one tribe, to the next and fellowship and there would be nothing different going on.  A person would not feel strange going into another congregation, not knowing what will happen, because all of the Assemblies were set up the same way!

In the times of old, the children were not separated from their parents, and go to a thing called "children's church," where they teach them a watered down, baby version of Jesus!  The children were with their parents and even sitting with the Lord Jesus Himself, because He called the little children to Him!  Did He talk "baby talk" to them?  No!  He spoke to them, just like He spoke to the adults!  The entire family was together in one place!

In the dream, I saw teenagers separating themselves into a little group!  This is an abomination to the Lord! 

In the dream, I saw black people congregating themselves together?  Is God only with the black people?  Is He only with one race of people?  I have gone to all white congregations and I am the only black person there.  I have also gone to all black congregations and seen no white people! 

Go To:9th Day!
