Yesterday on waking I had a snippet dream of a policeman behind a desk interrogating
Someone, and the man began to sink out of his chair as he is bleeding to death, but it’s like the policeman doesn’t even see he is bleeding and wounded.  He is just continuing to ask him questions in a tough way until the man starts to loose consciousness and slinks down in the chair.

In my dreams policemen usually stand for those who are enforcers of the LAW, Pharisees, religious spirits.  So it would seem a picture of the religious not even recognizing the wounds of others who are dying spiritually, emotionally, physically, and interrogating and accusing them.

Matt 15:11-14 AMP  It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles [him]. 12 Then the disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were displeased and offended and indignant when they heard this saying?  13 He answered, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be torn up by the roots. [Isa 60:21.] 14 Let them alone and disregard them; they are blind guides and teachers. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.

Rev 3:17 AMP  For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [Hos 12:8.]

The Good Shepherd Spoke:

“When I give a shepherd or a shepherdess a flock of sheep to care for, I provide all that is needed to reach out and to bring healing and deliverance, to nurture and to train. I bring other parts of the body to help with the warfare encountered, and for the nurturing, cleaning and empowerment of the body. I bring worshippers and I bring intercessors. I bring sheep-cleaners, and sheep-shearers.  I bring others who will also nurture and care for the sheep.  I bring those who will befriend one another and grow in all the things I long to see for them. I teach them also as they grow in dependence on ME, rather than the shepherds. For that IS the goal.  It is not the goal of a good father to make his child super dependent on him. The goal is to nurture your children and coax them into responsibilities so they can learn to live on their own.

The body is to function as a body, equally giving and receiving as it grows, and even the weaker sheep help in many functions.  I am not the One to set wolves over the sheep.  But sheep can easily become wolves if they are battered and bruised and UNHEALED from all life’s pain and sorrows.  I have many shepherds in America who are not shepherds, but only hirelings.  I have many prophets and teachers and others in ministry who also are stealing and robbing from the sheep, and not equipping them for service.  I tell you this is the time of SEPARATION.  THIS IS A TIME when I will separate the true from the false in any person and in any body of Christ.  Whether you meet in houses, in buildings or stadiums, I am separating the good from the bad and ugly !  I am pressing the sheep, I am testing the shepherds, and I am testing everyone who is called by My name.  I am seeing if you will truly obey me in caring for those I care for !

I will not allow you to stay in stagnant water any longer.  I LOVE MY CHURCH but there is MUCH TO BE HEALED IN IT.  Will YOU who are stronger and wiser and more diligent pray for those who are lagging behind on the path to LIFE ?  Will you bring up the rear so to speak ?  Will you fight for those who are unable to fight for themselves ?  Will you resuscitate those who have been bludgeoned, and bruised, beat up and rejected ?  Will you EXERCISE PATIENCE with ONE ANOTHER ?  Will you FORBEAR ?  I WILL CUT OFF THE POINTING FINGERS !  I will cut off the flow of finances to those who will not use it in helping the sick, the widows, the orphans, the single mothers, the homeless ones in their own congregations.  You are also to care for the prophets and apostles, for the worshippers.  You are not to neglect your own sheep.  If you would only ask for MY WISDOM, I would give it !

For I am not willing that ANY SHOULD PERISH I said, and especially MY OWN, who love ME.  Will you lay down your lives and become servants oh ministers ?  Will you stop padding your own wallet and bank accounts, while forgetting about that one in your own congregation who hasn’t enough for their child to eat ?  Will you gorge yourself while others starve ?  Will you live in mansions while others have no home?  Will you continue to underestimate those who are in your flock who are weaker ?  Or will you CHANGE?  Will you become like ME ?  WILL YOU REPENT of your selfishness and accusations against the weaker ?  Will you take the time to nurture instead of control & accuse ?  Will you delegate duties to others so they can help ? Will you train up the children and youth to be part of the body instead of entertaining them ?

Well I have an army in hiding that I will now bring forth who will not take the credit for what I DO.  I have an army that will not neglect the children.  I have an army that will be empowered in EVERY way to care for those I care for.  I have a replacement army for those who are really wolves and won’t change. But for those who WILL change, I will accept your repentance.  I will transform you IF YOU ASK.  I will pull out the roots of pride and greed, and selfishness IF YOU ASK.  It is time for TRANSFORMATION.  EVENTS ARE ESCALATING so I can no longer hold back MY hand.  For those of you who have been waiting in caves I have a word for you !

I AM TENDERNESS AND LOVE. I AM KINDNESS AND FORBEARANCE.  I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD ALL.  AND NOW I AM COMING TO TRANSFORM YOU BY MY POWER TO GO FORTH INTO THE STREETS, TO GO FORTH INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS, OF THIS NATION AND MANY NATIONS, TO INVITE THOSE TO MY BANQUET WHO WILL COME.  EVENTS SOON AT THE DOOR WILL COMPEL YOU.  YOU WILL KNOW, IT IS TIME !  WITHOUT A PREACHER, HOW WILL THEY KNOW ?  THE HARVEST IS RIPE, AND I AM SENDING MY ANGELS WITH SICKLES.  YOU WILL BE INUNDATED WITH SOULS OH CHURCH ! DO NOT BE AFRAID.  I WILL SHOW YOU HOW AND WHAT TO DO !

I AM LAUNCHING MY SUDDENLIES, AND I AM FULFILLING THE PROMISES TO MY BELOVEDS.  I AM NOT SLACK, NOR HAVE I BEEN NEGLIGENT. THE ENEMY HAS WORN MANY OF YOU OUT, BUT NOW I WILL ARISE, NOW I WILL MAKE MYSELF KNOWN. IT IS ALL AT HAND ! BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK.  BEHOLD YOUR KING COMES TO YOU SUDDENLY, LIKE A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND !”
