7 End-Time Doors Introduction

Speaker 1

We're about to take you on an amazing and prophetic journey of Jesus opening up seven end-time doors. Each door progressively reveals and releases something very significant that will prepare the church to rise up glorious in these last days. Three of these doors have already been opened. And stay with us and discover why each one is important to you and the body of Christ. Welcome back to the Shekanda Today podcast. We're your hosts, Darrel and Cindy deVille.

Speaker 2

Welcome everyone. This is Cindy, and we just want to let you know that we are so excited to bring this podcast to you and really honored and blessed to be able to connect with you.

Speaker 1

That's right. And so today we're actually going through chapter two of our new book, Rise of the Glorious Church. Yes. And this chapter is called The Vision of Seven In Time Doors.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And we are excited to share this epic vision of Jesus opening up seven end time doors that he actually began opening in 2009. Amen. And you'll see that each door reveals the deep work God has been doing in his church to prepare her to rise up glorious, to arise and shine, right?

Speaker 2

That's it.

Important Note from Cindy

Speaker 1

Before we get started, Cindy wanted to just share a couple things real quick.

Speaker 2

I just want to take a moment to say this is before we go through this, is for us, we do share visions and we share the things God has spoken, but we do not and I do not go out to seek experience. And I want to encourage those of you that are prophetic and move in that way, is that our heart is to pursue and seek the heart of the Father, the heart of God. And some people, you know, they may say, well, you're a prophet or prophetess or you're an apostle or you're this, but we prefer really as a ministry to be called instead a servant of God. That's what I want to be known and a friend of God, a fully devoted follower of Christ, a servant of the most high. Because really, when you start putting that label on people, you're putting pressure on them. Give me a word, give me a word. What's God saying? And we want to just be faithful to just hear the word of the Lord and be faithful to put it out. And so let's go ahead and get started here.

Speaker 1

All right, yes. Let's get into the seven end-time doors being revealed.

How The Vision Came & Unfolds

Speaker 1

All right, let's get started by going through this amazing seven end-time doors vision. I'll never forget that night it came, March 2009.

Speaker 2

I remember that, and it was very powerful. It was during an extended time of prayer and fasting for the body of Christ for America and for the ministry. That's right. And as we went into the bedroom and just getting ready for the evening, the presence of the Lord came upon me, and it was like it was very definitely God. It was like a heavy weight. That's right. The whole time I felt very sedated. It almost felt like someone had given me something. And the presence of the Lord just came in, and it was a powerful presence of God, but yet it was a very just filled with peace. And yeah, his presence was just it was very different than the judgment is running one.

Speaker 1

Yeah. I can always tell when the Lord's about to speak through her. So I get ready to record every word.

Speaker 2

Yes, it was quite an amazing experience. But as I spoke, then I began as God walked me through these doors, as I began, I would speak and just speaking everything that I was seeing. And it's like the Lord was showing me almost what to say.

Following Jesus and Keys for the Last Days

Speaker 2

So as I'm sitting there in the presence of the Lord, I had a vision, and it was so real, it felt like it was happening in real time. Like I was right there with Jesus. And I saw myself standing beside Jesus, and I was slightly to his right, but I didn't see his face, but just one side of him. And he was wearing it was a white robe, but one thing that stood out to me more than anything was his presence. There was such a peace and such divine purpose in every move that he made. It was heavenly. In his hands, I saw a set of keys. And I just knew in my spirit, I knew I was supposed to follow him. Each at each door. And as these doors are open, I knew there were many things that were going to be released in the body of Christ, in the church and onto the earth. And I knew also, I just had a knowing that these things had been hidden and locked away for a special time and a day. You know, God is all about appointed times and seasons. He's big and He's not just random. No, he does everything. He has order, he has strategy. He is the king of all kings. So you know he's yes, amen.

Speaker 1

All right. So now let's go and see what the first door was that he unlocked.

Speaker 2

Yes. So we want to honestly, as we share this, we want you to just kind of, I want you to kind of walk with us through this so you can actually kind of experience it with us.

Speaker 1

Yes, journey with us as we go through each door.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Door 1 Opens, Reveals & Releases…

Speaker 2

So as I'm standing beside him, he goes to the first door and he unlocks it. So he opens the door up. Inside, I see swords, lots of swords. They were very big. I mean, these swords were big, they were beautiful and powerful. And I see him taking out the swords and he's handing them to certain people in his church. These are not normal swords, but supernatural that carry great power when wielded and used. Kind of like the Excalibur sword. They carry a special mantle, anointing, and an empowerment. And these swords, we know by the word of God that they represent the word of the Lord. So I could tell and I could see. He was handing these swords out to certain people. And I believe these are people that are either prophetic intercessors, they are have the prophetic gift, and they will they're taking these swords and they are declaring and releasing the word of the Lord in the earth. Now, these may not even be people that have major ministries that we know that are labeled prophetic. This could be someone prophetic intercessor moving in that gift in the prayer closet, walking in the living room, praying, and all of a sudden the Spirit of God comes on them and releases the word of the Lord over the nation. And that is so powerful. But see, God, God is going to give these swords, and he did. He has. We've seen several things released, and he is going to release things through those his trusted servants who can be trusted to carry and release the word of the Lord.

Speaker 1

Amen. And when you look at this, the scriptures that, of course, stand out to me immediately is Ephesians 6, but the sword of the Spirit, right? And that in Hebrews 4 talks about the word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. And really the sword represents the word of God and the spirit of God being released.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

See, God always starts by speaking his word. That's why this first door is so significant. Amen. Because he's speaking his word and releasing what comes next.

Speaker 2

He is. And you know, God's word tells us that God does nothing in the earth unless he first reveals it to his servants. Hear that word, servants, the prophets. And so those or who have been speaking and releasing the word of the Lord. And whether that word is to declare the blessing of the Lord or to declare the judgments of God or to declare the alignment of nations, whether whatever that is, those words are powerful, very powerful. And we have to understand that the same spirit that rose Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in us. That's right. So the words we speak and we declare are powerful.

Speaker 1

Also, I

The Office of the Prophet vs. the Prophetic Gift

Speaker 1

want to insert right here about prophecy. You know, there's several different levels of prophecy we see in scripture. One of the general operation of prophetic gift, which is what most people can operate in at any time, really. The Lord could come upon them. A lot of times it's very encouraging and exhorting and such like that. Yes. Just like the scripture talks about. Right. But a whole nother level of operation and prophecy is the office of a prophet. They're the ones that God will specifically use to speak words to the whole church, to speak to churches, to leaders, to nations.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

As we see in the biblical scriptures. That's right. Like Isaiah and Jeremiah and Elijah and others. And most often these prophets will confront, speak correction, direction, even warnings and judgments that God will be doing. Yes. And exhortations, too. Also, these prophets are very strong in calling for repentance and turning people back to God, just like the prophets in the biblical days did.

Speaker 2

This is an office of the prophet that is not an easy one because you often bear that burden of the word, the word of the Lord, and with that comes a lot of intercession. That's right. It comes it really does. But you do that office, typically you're speaking to kings, to nations, to the body of Christ. That's right. And it is it's more a big picture. It's very, very different than personal prophecy. Yes. Where someone comes up and prophesies over you that you're gonna be doing this or that. But um it can flow in that, but it's more on a big picture of our level.

Speaker 1

That's right. So it's important to understand the distinction, the difference there.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And so

Door 1: Personal Application

Speaker 1

we're looking at this first door of these swords being released, like prophetic words, the word of God. How does that apply to you on a personal basis? Well, think about it this way: God's word is filled with life, and the Spirit of God dwells in his children, his people. And as we speak and declare his word over our lives, in Isaiah 55, he talks about he sends forth his word and it does not return empty or void, but accomplishes everything he sends it out to do. Yes. That he shaped the world by the power of his words, that he's told us many times, you can shape your world by the power of your words. Yes. And of course, what we speak should align with God's word. Amen. Otherwise, it's not going to be as effective.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

So this first storm is supernatural swords given to certain people.

Speaker 2

Yes. And so that is something that we have seen and we believe that that has many of those things have already been released and declared it doesn't mean there won't be more.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

But there the this there's very significant words that have been released. That's right. And those swords have been given out. And so you may be one of those people that God has given one of those swords to. And I just want to encourage you, be faithful, be faithful with the word of the Lord, a faithful servant. And one thing too about this is um in this gifting, whether it's prophecy or the office of the prophet, love, everything is so motivated from the heart of God. Whether it is warning, judgment, correction, whatever it is, it has to be born on your face in the presence of God. And when you get his heart, you can speak with confidence and boldly and declare his word, whatever that may be, whether it's soft, sweet, or whether it's hard and meet. You have to um have his heart. And that's why we say we don't pursue experience or gifts. We want to pursue the heart of God.

Speaker 1

Yes, so true. All right, so that's door number one. Supernatural swords being given to certain people. That

Door 2 Opens, Reveals & Releases…

Speaker 1

actually then leads us to door number two that happens as a result of door number one.

Speaker 2

Yes, and he has these keys in his hands and he unlocks and he opens this door up. And what I see inside are all these angels. I mean, like many angels. I don't know if there were a thousand, but they were all, it was just filled with angels. And as he opened it, this is what was truly amazing is that the angels seemed to rush towards the door. It's like they couldn't wait for the door to be opened. They were rushing to, they were hearkening. And what's amazing, they were hastening to carry out their assignment. That's right. And according to scripture, they were hearkening under the voice of the Lord. That's right. So the things that were released and spoken through the prophets, through the swords, these angels were then being released to carry out the word of the Lord. That's right. And it's so powerful. And so I saw this and and the angels being released. It's just it's such a powerful thing. And I wish, I wish I could have taken you all with me on this and been there with me on this during this vision because it was so so precious and so powerful and so real in the moment.

Speaker 1

It talks about in scripture that his mighty ones, the angels, hearken to the word of the Lord and carry out his plans. Yes. And that angels are also servants of those his people.

Speaker 2

That's right. Yes, and so in these last days, these things are significant. They really are. We're gonna see, I believe, more and more angelic activity as we move deeper into the end times until the Lord comes, because we're going to need it. Angel armies.

Door 2: Personal Application

Speaker 2

And so we pray and we release that as a servant of God. Yes. And that's what you are. You are a servant of God. You can pray these things in according to the word and the will of the Father.

Speaker 1

That's right. This is how that door applies to you.

Speaker 2

Is when you speak the word of God, even the written word, the Rhema word of God. When you speak and you declare that, the angels of the Lord are hearkening to the word of God. Not your words, but the word of the Lord. And that's why it's important. We don't just pray anyway. We pray in alignment with the word of God. We pray in alignment with that unction of the Holy Spirit, which that will come, and you'll know. Oh, this is God. And it's amazing because I can tell that during my prayer time, I'll be praying and pressing in. And then all of a sudden it's like a switch. It's like a car going into overdrive. You can feel, oh, that is the Spirit of God, which is amazing. I love that. That we get to be a friend of God and He shares His secrets with us. That's right.

Speaker 1

And remember this too. Angels are all part of the kingdom of heaven. If you look in Hebrews 12, it talks about the church and innumerable angels, yes, all working together. I believe that in the last days that's going to become more and more evident as we move forward.

Speaker 2

Yes, I believe that. Amen. The veil between heaven and earth, as we've talked about, is getting thinner and thinner.

Speaker 1

It's become more obvious as things go on.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

Amen. So door number one, supernatural swords being released and given to certain people. Door number two, angels on assignment, hearkening to the word of God.

Speaker 2

That's right. I love that too. I love words. I like to look at words, but sword, just look at that. It's S and then word. Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

That's amazing. Anyway, so the next door.

Speaker 1

And that leads us to door number three.

Speaker 2

Oh, this is powerful.

Break: An Invitation

Speaker 1

Wow. We'll be right back. Decades ago, God began shaping within Darrel and Cindy a grand vision, revealing his end time plans and blueprints for what he's about to do in his church and in the nations. And now the time has come to share these from their new book, Rise of the Glorious Church. To learn more about all this, we invite you to watch our engaging and prophetic trailers and inspiring shorts on our new Shekina Today YouTube channel. Then subscribe, share, and see more details on our website at shekinatoday.org.

Door 3 Opens, Reveals & Releases…

Speaker 2

Oh, this is powerful. Wow. Yet this one is really powerful. And again, these are progressive. Remember, the angels have been released. And now Jesus leads me to the next door, and he has those keys, and he's unlocking and opening the door. And this is similar to the one before the angels. What I saw inside was fire. It was also leaping out the door. It's like it had been locked up and held back for a certain time.

Speaker 1

So when you opened it up, the flames were leaping out.

Speaker 2

He stepped back and I stepped back because it was so intense and hot. And it was like, whoo! And so when he opened it, I saw this fire and those flames leaping out. And we both stepped back and we realized, I mean, so much scripture here that our God is a consuming fire. Yes. He is a consuming fire. I always think of the prophets of Baal and the fire coming down from heaven. And that's what God wants to devour those prophets of Baal in our day.

Speaker 1

He's also a pillar of fire.

Speaker 2

And a pillar of fire. Yes. We see it throughout scripture.

Speaker 1

And the scripture talks about it being a cleansing, yes, purifying fire that's going to be going through the church, we believe, that he's

It’s Happening Right Now

Speaker 1

doing even right now. This is why we said the first three doors are already opened.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

This is the third door. And you can see it happening right now in the church. It's been happening in building for years. It's now gone to another level where you're seeing him cleansing, bringing it to account certain things and people that need to account for what's been going on. Yes. That he's cleansing and purifying this church, getting her ready to go to the whole next level.

Speaker 2

Amen. You know, I think of the scripture where I think it's in Isaiah, where it's just we walked through the fire and the flood, and he brought us in to a new place or a prosperous place. And but that fire, again, that cleansing and purifying fire. And that reminds me of what the Lord had spoken. And I've shared this before years back, I think in 2007, during prayer, every time I'd hear the voice of the Lord cleanse, purify, make ready the bride. It's like that was his, that's what he's saying. And I believe that's what he is speaking to the fivefold ministry. It's time to cleanse, to purify, make ready the bride. But God is doing that cleansing first at those high levels. The pulpits he's dealing with, like we shared in the previous church.

Speaker 1

And we specifically talk about that even more in our next chapter we go through called The Rebirth of the Church.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And that's an amazing chapter where it talks about the fire of God coming to help cleanse and purify. Yes. Which aligns with door three here, but also the glory of God coming, which is the fire of God also, that he wants to send fresh fire, like fire that fell. The Holy Spirit, remember, was like flames of fire on the head of Acts 2. He wants to take that the church, his visitation to the church to a whole other level, never seen before.

Speaker 2

Amen. And listen, you personally, you may have walked through, you know, when we all the church going through COVID, going through all of these things over the last decade, really, that many have been through, we were kind of walking through the fire. And in the midst of this, you know, God, if we took it to him, if we laid it before him, he's able to use all of these things and work them together to prepare us to rise up glorious. And that's what this has been.

Speaker 1

That's right. And Malachi 3 specifically talks about a cleansing and purifying fire.

Door 3: Personal Application

Speaker 1

And how this applies to you on a personal level, just like Cindy was talking about, even more is looking at yourself and saying, Lord, is there anything in me to self-examination that needs to be removed and purged and cleansed out of me so it does not hinder what you want to do in me.

Speaker 2

Amen. Because yes, for us to rise up glorious and truly be his glorious church, he wants to burn out those things. The wood, the hay, the stubble, all those things that would cause him trouble.

Speaker 1

That's right. So if there's any sin, things you're struggling with, you know, the Lord can help you with that. And also any offense or unforgiveness, that's really huge. That's a big deal. It is a really big deal. In fact, a really good book regarding that is by John Bavier called The Bait of Satan. Excellent book about that and why it's so critical. People do not hold on to offense or unforgiveness. Yes. Because that will hinder you on every level.

Speaker 2

It says, be careful that no bitter root grow up in you and defile many. That's right. Just think of that. Those bitter roots, if we allow those roots and unforgiveness in us, it can actually affect many.

Speaker 1

So

Prophetic Word: Judgment Coming to the Pulpits of America (2008)

Speaker 1

everything that's going on in the church right now that we see, God is exposing sin in the pulpits of America. It reminds us of a powerful prophetic word that He gave us and gave you, honey, back in 2008.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

Called Judgment is coming to the pulpits of America.

Speaker 2

Yes. And in this word, it was it's interesting because sometimes when I speak or when the Lord shows me things, I it's like I feel what he feels. And he was mad. He was like upset.

Speaker 1

And um for the reason when you when you hear it, you'll see why.

Speaker 2

You'll you'll understand why. And it's amazing. Uh so I'm gonna read this to you. Go ahead. So you understand, and this is why, first of all, we need to pray for the leaders in God's house. Yes. Because I I do want to say this that it's very important because the pressure that they're under, and they are on the front lines, and many of them go into ministry with great, you know, they have great motivation, their heart is to serve the Lord, their heart is to, and but often and over the last years, like we read in the Great Visitation, it says Satan has unleashed these forces to seduce my people, to draw them away and devour them as prey. And so that was warning as well. But here in this word, let me just go ahead and read it. And yeah, I could feel the zeal of God. It was, I felt like Jesus going into his house, going into the temple, and with a whip. I mean, I felt that kind of zeal and passion and uh and almost an anger. And this is what he said the zeal for my house has consumed me, says the spirit of God. The love for my people has overtaken me. Therefore, I will begin. I will begin. I will begin, says the spirit of God. I will begin now to cleanse my house. I will call out and I will bring judgment. I will enter in and begin in the pulpits of America. The fear of me shall hit the fivefold ministry, and it will cause many to shudder as I utter my judgments. The fivefold ministry shall see my judgments. Those who presume to speak for me with hidden sin, they will see judgment come to them swiftly and suddenly. Those who think they can live in sin be my mouthpiece and stand in my holy place with the mask of deception on their face, they shall see my swift judgments. It shall be like an earthquake and everything shall shake, everything shall shake, for I will have my way. This is a day when I will not tolerate their sin anymore. No more, no more, says the Spirit of the Lord, for I am coming to my temple with a great roar. I will bring fear back to my house again, and I will confront and remove the sin that many in the pulpits are living in. And some shall be examples as Ananias and Sapphira. All that can be shaken will be shaken. For I will have a holy people, a holy nation. I will have a glorious church, and I will remove everything and everyone standing in my way, for this is a new day. This next part is really powerful because this is exactly what we've seen. Yes. And then he said this you say, mercy, mercy, grace, grace, and you think that will erase the hidden sin. You continue to live and revel in. I will have it no more. He, your words are nothing to me. It is your actions that I see. You have trampled on my grace and made a mockery of my mercy, and you have taught my people the same, and now my name is shamed. Now my people think that I am okay with sin. You have opened the door and let it in to my sanctuary, into my holy place. You have made my house one of disgrace. You have defiled my house and defiled my people. The sin is destroying my people, destroying my church, and listen to this, and destroying your nation. He said, I am done with you. I will have it no more, no more mercy and no more grace. For you have come near to me with your words, but your heart is far, far from me. Do you not know that I see everything? You cannot fool or deceive me as you do my people, for I am the God of all truth, and I will deal with you. For I am a holy God, and my sanctuary shall be holy. I just want to cry here. I don't know why. But he said, I will have a holy people, that they might bear my glory. Do you see that? Do you see that right there what he said? That they might bear my glory. That is what he wants, that is what he is committed to, and that is what he's going to see. A glorious church rise up in the earth and lives, families, cities, nations transformed and changed. And that's why the zeal consumes him. He is going to do what is necessary to get the job done. And so he said, They shall be holy unto me. Therefore, I must remove the unclean things. He says, I will raise up and I will bring down, I will remove apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist from the pulpit, those in the five-fold ministry who are defiling my name and defiling my people. I will have it no more, no more, says the spirit of the Lord. And then he said, This my judgment, again, he's saying, My judgment is coming to the pulpits of America. I will judge, I will cleanse, I will purify. I have seen in secret, and I will reward you openly. I will expose your sin. You have fooled my people, but you have not fooled me, says the spirit of God, for I see all things. I see what you have done behind closed doors, and I say to you, I will have it no more. For judgment has opened the door and is coming in. These are not mere words that I speak to you, but watch me, says the Spirit of God. I will perform my word and you will know the fear of me again. For I am the Lord of glory. See that word again? I am the Lord of glory. And this is not as before. This is not as before. And he said, This is not as before. I'm coming to deal with the sin in the pulpits of America. I'm coming in to deal with you. I will have it no more. No more, this is the spirit of the Lord. I know this is kind of long, but he's just very, he says, For I am warning you, says the spirit of God, do not step up to the pulpit with hidden sin in your life. You may not live to see another day. For I will have my church my way, says the spirit of grace. I thought that was amazing. Says the spirit of grace. That is the spirit of grace. Yes. That teaches all men to live godly. And you look up that scripture, the spirit of grace, he says, This is not a game, this is not a game, but all the earth shall know my name. I am not playing games. And then the scripture he gave Revelations 3:19, as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore and repent. Wow. Yeah. I mean

Biblical Commentary & Exhortation

Speaker 2

there's there's so much that is a powerful and strong word, but these are the kind of words, people that um for me have been very hard to bring because they're not accepted. You don't get a whole lot of applause and yay, thank you. It's like, oh, you're a false prophet. You need to be talking about the mercy and the love of God. And yes, there is a time for that. There is, I mean, God's mercy and grace is absolutely amazing. But he is also, you have to understand, he's the head and the CEO of the church. And he is going to deal with what needs to be dealt with. And we need, I pray that even for you, I know for me, that the fear of the Lord, the healthy fear of God, um, would just hit his house. And we have seen so much of this play out before our eyes. That's right. Local church, several churches, even in the area that we live, several. And so this isn't about someone uh failing and sinning and repenting and you know pouring out their heart to God. And that this is, and when you look at the word, it's someone that is practicing sin. They're living in it, they're reveling in it, and then they get up on the pulpit and they're like, I think they're okay because of God's grace. Well, exactly. They think they're okay. Like you said, listen, payday always comes. That's right, one way or another, because you cannot, God is not mocked. That's right, he will not be mocked whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. And and we share this with you even now in your own life. Let God deal with you. Yes, listen to him, because if he is dealing with you and showing, ask him to show you, you know, is there any area in my life that that is hindering you? Is there any anything that I'm not seeing where I'm being deceived? Because those things will hurt you, destroy you, hurt your family. And and God, He He's all about redemption too. He wants to restore and heal and renew. He's not into, oh, well, I'm just gonna take you out because you sinned. That it's not it at all. It has to do with his everything, and we've shared this in our book, God's Answer for America, all that everything he does is driven by the power of his love.

Speaker 1

That's right. Even judgments. That's right. He's out of love.

Speaker 2

Yeah. When Jesus went into the temple with the whip, the zeal consumed him. It was a love for his house, a love for the Father. And he he knew, see, his house, and what did he say when he says, My house shall be a house of prayer. That's right. And so he was very passionate about that. And love um should drive what we do.

Speaker 1

That's right. So that's door number three, fire, all-consuming, cleansing, purifying fire. And that reminds us of another biblical parallel as we prepare to go to the next door. That as Jesus cleansed the temple, he then brought healing.

Speaker 2

Amen. Yes, that Matthew 21, 12 through 14 speaks of that.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Door 4 Opens, Reveals…

Speaker 1

So that leads us to door number four.

Speaker 2

So this next door was really amazing as well. It was unusual, though, too.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 2

So as Jesus walked up, and again, I'm still just walking beside him on his right side, just so beautiful, so much peace, and so much purpose. He takes the keys and he unlocks this door. It was the fourth door. And what I'm seeing, I believe, represents healing. But what I saw, again, it was very strange, but it's what I saw. It's what was in the door. And I saw all of these uh body parts, arms and hands and feet, and and um, and many were hanging from the ceiling, but they were in there, and it seemed very odd. But I knew just by the spirit what it represented. It represented the body of Christ and also healing, that it represented a supernatural healing and miracles that I believe were going to be released in the body in the church. And this this is huge, this is really a big thing because the parts in there were separated, they weren't one body. And I believe that the Lord what what he wanted to do was bring them all together, bring them out and bring them all together into unity, and God just really wanting to breathe upon the body, like in the the book of Ezekiel's vision.

Speaker 1

That's right, bringing unity and completeness to the whole body. That's right. So the story really represented about a complete healing and restoration of his body to rise up glorious in the earth as one body.

Speaker 2

Yes, and that has been such a intercession and a heart cry for me. I don't that just God's heart over the last year, more than ever, is just a cry for the healing of his church because there are so many people that have walked through so much, and God is wanting to breathe new life upon his church, upon you. He wants to bring healing, he wants to bring, as the word we shared, I think was it in our first episode about he wants to restore the the breaches, he wants to heal and restore.

Cleansing & Healing Before Unity

Speaker 1

And really, doors three and four reminds us of something God spoke to us long ago. Says, I will cleanse and I will purify and make ready the bride. That's door three. Then they shall arise and I will unify door four. Yes, and so God is doing a work, a deep work.

Speaker 2

Well, and it is a work of the spirit. You know, we can talk about unity and we can try to make it happen, and we can talk about healing and try to make it happen, but this is going to be a work of the spirit. It's not by might or by power, but it is by the spirit of God in this hour. And the thing is, it is why the word of the Lord, the sword of the Lord, the angels on assignment, all of these things are leading to the release of this by the spirit. It's the prayer, the intercession. And so, and that's what really the sword, going back to that a moment, is the sword is not just declaring the word of the Lord, it is praying. Men not always to pray and not to faint. That we are called to pray. God's house is to be a house of prayer. And so, but when we pray, we need to pray the word of the Lord. Pray the word. And so that's a powerful thing, but that he wants to bring healing into his house. And so, so first that cleansing comes, right?

Speaker 1

Yep.

Speaker 2

And then the healing comes. That's right.

Speaker 1

That's what's happening. That's what's happening right now. There's a cleansing going on, and there's coming a point where the healing is going to come. Yes, there's gonna be some spiritual things that's gonna happen. Yeah, when we talk about that really in chapter three, right? There's coming a new great visitation, a rebirth of the church. There will be a cleansing and healing happen together all that will be it would just be amazing.

Speaker 2

Well, it's some it's really interesting because when you look at the cleansing part, in that during that cleansing, God is going to bring a spirit of repentance on the church. It's repentance, it's God forgive me. I release this, I turn away from those sins. And see, healing really can't come until we do that.

Speaker 1

That's right, because repentance actually positions us for full restoration and healing. That's right, and then be able to rise up glorious.

Speaker 2

Even the second chronicles 714, which we have quoted for years, is that the the repentance, you know, turn from your wicked ways. So then I'll heal your land. That's right. And so that is a prerequisite. And see, God is a God of order, and we see this right here. We see the order.

Dream: Why God Can't Move Yet

Speaker 1

And one of the reasons the church, the body of Christ, needs healing is because the body has been attacking itself.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And we go into that in the book. In fact, you had a dream about that, right?

Speaker 2

Yes. I want to share this because this has a lot to do with the healing of the body of Christ, and this is so important. It was a dream I had in the 80s, right? Probably 87 around there. We were attending a church, the large church we were at in Dallas, though that very well-known church, but I had this dream. And in the dream, I was sitting on the platform of that church and um in the back, and as one of the speakers, I guess to be, but there were other prophetic voices, and they were all sitting in seats. They were all going to be speaking. But Kenneth Hagin happened to be at the pulpit at the microphone, and he was up there, and many of you, if you've been in the church for years, you know Kenneth Hagin, and his manner was often, he didn't try to force things to happen. He would usually come in and wait on the spirit of God and try to just be led by the spirit of God in ministry. And so he walked up to the pulpit and he's standing there and he's waiting on the spirit of God. And as I'm sitting there watching him, he became visibly frustrated. You could tell he was frustrated. And then he said, The Spirit of God's not moving here. I'm going to bed because the presence of the Lord wasn't moving and seemed to almost be absent from the room. So I watched him as he walked off the platform and out a side door and went to bed. And when I saw this in the dream, it greatly concerned me. And I'm like, okay, we need to find out what's wrong here. We need to fix this. And so I got up and out of my chair and I walked out to the end of the platform. And I looked out across the sanctuary, and what I saw was it was heart-wrenching. All the people, they had like weapons in their hands, and they had turned these weapons on one another. They were beating each other. Their sisters, their brothers, they were, and these were not nice weapons. They were, you know, they were um weapons that could really harm and hurt. And when I saw that, it just kind of broke my heart because they were wounding each other. I'll never forget the dream because what the Lord was showing me there, he was telling me, he says, Cindy, this is one reason, not the only reason, but it is a key reason why I'm unable to move in my church. Right. And so this was really uh a really big deal. And so we want to really speak to this and encourage you in it as well.

Speaker 1

That's right. In fact, that's one of the reasons he must bring healing. Yes. Because she will not be able to rise up glorious and be all she's called to be until the healing comes.

Speaker 2

That's right.

Speaker 1

There's be the cleansing and then the healing.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And so that

What the Church Needs to Stop Doing!

Speaker 1

dream is really vivid about people, about the body of Christ attacking each other.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 1

And then a few years ago in 2022, the Lord spoke to us in prayer and said, Tell them basically to stop thrusting one another.

Speaker 2

I remember this. I I could feel God's heart, the father's heart. Remember, we're his children, right?

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 2

And we're his family. That's right. So he's watching his family being torn apart.

Speaker 1

That's right. Do you want to read that prophetic word? Yes. Okay. And so we want to just share this one right quick as well.

Speaker 2

Yes. And so this is what the Lord said. He said, Tell my people to stop thrusting one another. They're thrusting one another. You must tell them, stop, stop. And the Lord is saying to his people, stop thrusting one another. You're thrusting your sister and your brother, my royal family. You want to see victory, says the Lord. It will not come until you set your sword where it belongs. And that is against the enemy, the kingdom of darkness. For this is grieving my spirit, says the Lord. It is limiting my ability to move amongst you. You must pray for one another, your sister and your brother. I want my body to be complete, my family to be healed and to be whole. And that is so important because in the day we live and with social media, you just see it is it's you just see it a constant warring. And I remember even in the word that uh the Lord gave me regarding President Trump, this is several years back, um, after Biden and got in, the Lord, in that word, the name of the blog was is God setting us up for a victory? And one thing I said in there, there were a couple of things I addressed. One thing is this God, he said, I can't do what I want to do because of what you're doing. That basically, because the church was basically operating in a way that was very unkingdom-like, right? And it was limiting God's ability. He said, I can't move you forward in this, what I want to do until this is fixed. But we see this online, we see all these videos attacking, slandering, and and yes, there are some things definitely that must be confronted. Yes, and that need to be brought to the surface and exposed. We get that things that need to be dealt with for sure. But this is dealing with more uh false accusations and slander just to hurt each other.

Speaker 1

Or even just nitpicking stuff. Yes, and I don't agree with that, and this is wrong, and this is why it's wrong, and becoming very critical.

Speaker 2

And and that's easy to do. It's easy to let if you just let your natural man go, you're gonna you have to, that's why we are to walk in the fruit of the spirit, self-control, right? That's right, and love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generous mercy, and all of that.

Speaker 1

That's right. In fact, we'd ask you to do this before you go to criticize somebody, pray for them first. I'm serious, pray for them first.

Speaker 2

Yes, amen. We have to deal with things in the right heart and the right spirit. That's so important.

Speaker 1

Yeah,

Jesus Commands Us to Do This!

Speaker 1

and really Jesus commanded us to love one another, that the world would know us by our love. And loving one another is a big deal to God. In fact, the command and exhortation to love one another is repeated over 12 times in the New Testament.

Speaker 2

Yes, there are so many rich scriptures. I mean, we know faith worketh by love. Our faith cannot work unless that foundation of love. That's right. But I do want to say this there is a very big difference between the worldly, fleshly kind of love and the God kind of love. God's love will confront things. That's right. God's love, it's it's not like this weak um, in his love is very powerful. Yes, very powerful.

Speaker 1

And we can speak the truth in love.

Speaker 2

Yep. And that love is what drove him to the cross. That's right. That love is what drove him into the temple with the whip. That love. That's right. And so we need to step back and ask, God, is how is this helpful? How is this building up? And sometimes you have to tear down before you can build up. So you may have to confront things and deal with things. And that in itself is love. But again, it's the spirit and the heart that you do that from. Like for me, you know, in talking about even when we were doing the Pray America Pray campaign, praying for awakening across the nation. And, you know, I would tell people listen, don't don't just go out and speak all these and and call people to repentance and sin, unless, first of all, you have been in the prayer closet, basically dying for them. You are in the prayer closet, crying out for their souls, crying out for their eyes to be opened, crying out for for them to. See how great God's love is, but how great their sin is, how great his mercy is. And so we, unless we have been in the prayer closet on our face, we really should not get up and just speak. We we we need to get the heart of the Father for the lost. And I've had to do that several times because at times I feel myself I'll get angry about something. I'm like, okay, God, I need your heart in this. Okay, Cindy, into the prayer closet, right?

Speaker 1

That's right. And it regarding us loving one another as the body of Christ reminded in Ephesians 4. Paul talks about that. He says, I urge you to walk worthy of the calling for which you're called.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

That with all your humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

Door 4: Personal Application

Speaker 1

One of the personal applications of this is Revelation 19:7 talks about the bride has made herself ready. That we are to cleanse, purify, make ready the bride, make ourselves ready. That's right. Cleansing and then purifying. So they can be a great healing. Yes. And then we can rise up glorious from be a glorious bride for him, right?

Speaker 2

Amen. And that's what this whole vision, all of this is about. It's about us being changed from glory to glory and from faith to faith. It's about the transformation. It's about the glorious church rising up, and we see these steps. We see how God works. And it's it's a beautiful thing.

Review & Next Episode—Door 5

Speaker 1

So we hope what we've shared so far has been really encouraging for you and eye-opening because it is an amazing vision to see how Jesus is working in his church. Yes. And the best doors are yet to come. Amen. And so we've seen so far door number one, supernatural swords coming out and being given to different people that would then release those and take those and wield those. And then we see door number two, angels on assignment that would hearken to the word of God and go out on assignment, doing special things in preparation for what God's going to be doing.

Speaker 2

Hastening to perform his word.

Speaker 1

That's right. Then door number three was the fire.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

The all-consuming, cleansing, purifying fire.

Speaker 2

Leaping out.

Speaker 1

That's right. Leaped out. Oh to cleanse, purify, and help make ready.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And that led to door number four with all the body parts, which represented God wanted to bring great healing and unite his body as one again.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

But we need to stop thrusting one another. We need to walk in the love of God towards each other. Yes. Be praying for each other.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

So we see that after the body of Christ is healed, this comes great unity.

Speaker 2

Yes.

Speaker 1

And that leads us to door number five, which we will finish in the next episode.

Speaker 2

That's right. I'm looking forward to that. I'd love to do it all right now and share it with you. But we wanted this episode for you to be able to take these things and just really muse them, meditate on them, and let the word of God just really resonate.

Prayer for You & Closing

Speaker 2

And it's beautiful. And we do, we want, we would like to pray for you in regards to the healing, in regards of all of these things that we have shared today, is we just we want to pray that that cleansing and purifying fire would just be uh working in your life in a way that you, where God is is speaking to you, where He's He's saying, I need you to cooperate with me. I want you to lay down everything. And that's where that cleansing and purifying is kind of like with David when he had sinned. You know, he said, Lord, create in me a clean heart, renew a right spirit in me, restore. I think in this place he says, restore to me the joy of my salvation. He had lost the joy of his salvation because of what? The sin. But we wanted to also just pray this over you, that God would continue to just do a powerful work in you. And I pray this in my own life, and I pray this for you, that God would go deep and unseat anything that has not been planted by the Father, that He would go in and root out those things, whether it is sin in your life, faint compromise, whether it is there may be strongholds and things through the years, maybe pain and things that you have walked through that were devastating, that you feel like, God, I don't know how to deal with this. I don't know how to um uh I don't know how to fix this, but he does. And what he asks of us is he is for us to take every broken piece and lay it at his feet and let him begin the healing process and to restore. And so I just I pray that for you, those of you that are listening, we pray this for you that God would just come in and do such a beautiful, beautiful work, the master. He's just a master. And Lord, we just thank you. He wants to create a masterpiece in your life, he wants to take the mess and he wants to turn it into a masterpiece. And the only way he can do that is when you give him everything, every failure, every every broken piece, everything, and then let him restore. But he you do want to be sure though that the door is open for him, fully open every part of your life and heart for him to come in and cleanse, because that's where the healing really begins. It has to start there is that repentance, and then um just really turning to him and let that healing begin in you. So we pray that in you, because God, listen, God is so committed to you. If you are a Christian, you you love the Lord, He's so committed, He wants you to shine, and He wants the glory of the Lord to be seen in you and through you. That's one thing I say. Um, when I had the be glorious women, be glorious moments I would share is that let Christ shine through you in all that you think, you say, and you do. And that's um we do that by first giving it all to him. And he he can't do that unless we die daily, right? And less of us, more of Christ.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 2

Amen.

Speaker 1

So you will see here, these first four doors actually set up the last three doors. Yes, and the last three doors goes to a whole nother level. It does. This is great. It does. And we can't wait to share it next time.

Speaker 2

That's right. These first four doors are actually preparing the way that's right so we can go to the next level. And that's what we share in the rest of the doors. That's what we're gonna share.

Speaker 1

All right, so that's it for today. We look forward to sharing much more next episode of door number five.

Speaker 2

Yes, and amen.

Speaker 1

Amen. So until next time, together in Christ, let's rise up glorious and transform lives, families, cities and nations and us.
