Do not be a goat following a clown!

I have come to realize that I am just one of those people that is going to have warning or prophetic type dreams. It is not easy to dream some of what I do, but it leads me to stay prayed up and be prepared for what is to come. Knowing to rely on these scriptures during this:

James 1:2-3 "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith workers patience." ~ Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." ~ Philippians 1:29 "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake."

Through every suffering it only makes me stronger in Him and more Christ like. This dream has me so grieved in the state the church is headed at large. In the dream, I was walking into this church and it was built as a theater with a stage (think of a concert hall or a theater where live plays or ballets take place) . In this theater, it was either recliners to sit in or couches to sit on, because we know society is all about their comfort. As the song leader started leading a song, heres come to the stage, strobe lights, and a group of women dancing about half dressed. I was immediately appalled and got up to walk out, my daddy was in the dream and some others I knew and we walked out so very upset, not just at what was going on but others we knew who just sat there and ate their popcorn while they were being entertained and having their itching ears scratched. As I continued on in the dream, I was trying to escape being killed or tormented, because I was standing up for what was right, but the Lord spared me as each time I cried out to Him and spoke out scripture such as, 'God said never will I leave the, never will I forsake thee, I will be with thee even until the end, for I am a friend who sticks closer than a brother', and in that moment I was spared from death. I have had many dreams like this where I would be the one crying out to God, praying, quoting scripture and would be the person spared every time. The point is, being a Christian is going to get harder in this day and time. Yet, we have to know that we are a sheep following the Shepherd, instead of a goat following a clown. That dream is reality of what is going on in the church and world today. In the end, we cannot be afraid to suffer or die for Jesus Christ, as He did the same for us. Whatever God is preparing me for, I move ahead without fear of what man or this world may do me, because my soul will remain untouched and unharmed! I, with boldness and confidence only the Holy Ghost can give me, walk unshamed and unafraid to stand up for what I believe and for the God I serve.
