BABYLON and PRAYER- Check it out and tell me what you think
VISION: "PROSTRATE UNDER SACKCLOTH - The Only Safe Place"
-by Rosie Lovejoy.
"This is the vision I had during Praise and Worship on January 4th, 2003, the evening we were praying for a Pastor and his wife's departure to Israel...
It began with a vision of a huge lion, about ten to fifteen feet high. He was suspended about two to three feet off the ground. He was not a "cute" lion, rather His mane was large and shaggy, and He looked very viral and powerful. During the entire vision He was walking levitated two to three feet above the earth. The lion turned to me and thundered: "DO NOT MY PEOPLE KNOW THAT the TIME and the SEASON HAS CHANGED?" (I remember thinking that His grammar was odd, and that is not how we usually say things.) After thundering the question to me, He breathed, and flames of fire came out of His mouth. I heard the words "LION OF ZION" reverberate through my Spirit. The lion began to walk, suspended above the ground, breathing fire. The fire that was coming out of His mouth was not the refining fire we have been taught about, rather a fire that destroyed and burnt up all in its path. I knew in my spirit that it was a fire of judgment.
I next saw a view of a downtown business district of a large city. I think it was New York City, but I cannot be sure. I saw a building that resembled the Empire State Building, and a few buildings that surrounded it, collapse. The image was similar to the collapse of the Twin Towers. I screamed in my spirit, "No LORD!! NO!!!!!" As I was screaming, I saw the rubble and smoke from the collapsing buildings arise into a cloud that resembled a mushroom cloud. I do not know for sure if it was a nuclear mushroom cloud or a cloud of debris from the building. I was horrified and weeping in my spirit.
The lion reappeared and again turned His head and spoke to me. In a mournful voice He asked: "HOW ELSE am I GOING TO BRING IN the HARVEST?" (I instinctively knew that as a nation and people we are totally pre-occupied with our little lives and situations, and nothing short of calamity was going to bring us to question our existence and purpose for being. I knew it would take something of this magnitude to bring us to repentance.) The lion then spoke again: "I HAVE USED BABYLON IN the PAST to JUDGE MY PEOPLE, and I WILL USE BABYLON AGAIN to JUDGE MY PEOPLE."
The lion began to walk, and I saw groups of people standing and talking, some were joking with each other. Others were buying new cars and houses. Others were plotting financial gains and what to do with their assets during these uncertain times. I knew that this was the Church in America. Most were erect and oblivious to the approaching lion. A few were face down on the ground weeping and interceding. They were each covered with a coarse, brown cloak. There were very few on their faces.
THE LION THEN ROARED, and flames came out of His mouth, and burnt up the Christians who were standing. They became ashes and were no more. Horrified, I realized that I was standing to watch the unfolding scene, and I dove towards the dirt, skinning my chin as I landed. I was immediately covered from head to foot with the same coarse, brown cloak the intercessors on the ground were covered with. I raised my head to look out, and witnessed more and more erect Christians being burnt to a crisp.
It was clear to me that the only safe pace to be was on my face, in the dirt, interceding. The Lion of Zion then turned to me again, and spoke. "DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT I will KEEP MY HAND of PROTECTION OVER YOUR NATION, WHEN it is WILLING TO DIVIDE MY HOLY CITY, JERUSALEM?" I knew in that moment that YAHWEH was lifting His hand of protection from our nation, and that judgment had begun. I clung to the ground, as the lion walked over me, and those of us who were prostrate on the ground, still breathing fire. By this time, the worship music had concluded and the Pastor's wife was speaking about the offering, and how giving our tithes and offerings was a joyful act of worship. Again the Lion thundered:
"ARE my WAREHOUSES FULL? NO!!!! ARE MY PRIESTS TAKING CARE of MY WIDOWS and ORPHANS? NO!!!" I then saw men I knew were pastors and priests, standing tall and erect. Some were standing in front of Mercedes, others in front of large, expensive churches. The Lion spoke again: "MOST OF My PRIESTS DON'T CARE ABOUT My WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. THEY CARE About THEMSELVES, THEIR CARS AND HOUSES, and the CHURCHES THEY ARE BUILDING. THEY CARE About THEIR MINISTRY, NOT MINE." "Oh no!"
I thought. "These ministers are goners…" The Lion then opened His mouth and roared. Fire came out and consumed the "priests" who were standing beside their new cars and large, expensive churches. They became a pile of ashes on the ground next to their possessions. Many, many were consumed. The Lion continued to walk, breathing fire. Anywhere Christians were standing, rather than prostrate on the ground in sackcloth, they were consumed and turned to ashes....."

God is not calling us to a place, He's calling us to Himself
Judgment begins in the House of God....Christ has been reminding me of this lately.
It's so easy for us to get caught up in life...why?
It's so easy for us to get distracted...why?
I know God has been showing me the importance of continual repentance. It's only by His mercy that we are even breathing at this very moment. It's so easy for us to become self-deceived. We live in a day and hour where everything is about the flesh. The spirit of anti-Christ is what we are warring against. We are not fighting a war against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of the air. I look at the people around me, we must fight. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. It's our responsibility as the Body of Christ to step up to the plate. Wanting to isn't enough. I've noticed in my prayer life over the past couple of weeks that I "want to" do a lot of things. I don't want to deceive myself, I want to walk in holiness, I want to walk in truth, I don't want to be lazy, I want to get out of bed early and seek His face...I want to do a lot of things but the fact is, I don't. It's not enough to want to, I must DO. It's like there is a calling for us to examine ourselves, to see where we stand, to make sure we are fully awake and to not let the things of this world rock us subtly asleep. We must keep pressing forward. May the Body, the Army rise up and fight this fight with all confidence in Him. We must have faith that He will do what He said He would do.
I pray that He would strip every bit of unbelief from His people. The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives and dwells in us. May Jesus Christ's character be made manifest in His people. May His gaze be present in our eyes and may His words burn within our open mouths and hungry souls. May we not hold anything back from Him but lay it all down, cast it all aside and follow Him. He is worthy....Establish us in the faith Christ, root us and ground us so that we can be ready to answer anyone. Burn every bit of compromise out of us. Let us be pure, white, and holy, without blemish....
