VISION: AMERICA! WATCH THE BACK DOOR!
13th June 2007
Last night, I saw this vision:
A large number of Christians had gathered in a building, in America.
The Hall where they had gathered was large and had blue seats.The assembly was repenting of having in their possession things that displeased God.Everyone gathered there, then moved to a garbage skip that was placed near the back-door of the building. They threw into the garbage skip all those displeasing things.Renouncing and denouncing them, and resolving to never return to those displeasing things again.
Their leader wore a full white suit.
After the meeting, the leader went up to his office and watched all the people drive away.When the last car was gone from the parking lot, I saw him descend from his office and go to the back door to lock it. As he stood at the back door, looking through the glass, he became curious about what might be in the garbage skip.Though no one was watching him, as all had left, he sneaked out, and peered into the garbage. He saw a small old-fashioned purse, such as ladies use to keep their loose change. It was made of gold-colored mail, (as in armor). The leader retrieved the purse and thought that it yet looked new and usable.
This made him believe that there were more usable articles in the garbage.The more he poked his head into the garbage, the larger the garbage-container grew, and suddenly the garbage container was giant sized and very, very, very deeply dark within.The leader then carted all the things he had retrieved into the building through the back door, and now locked it.Back inside his office, I saw him make some major, some minor, changes to the appearance of the articles he had retrieved. The wooden items, he painted / polished.I saw one such which after he had worked on it, looked like a mini Indian totem pole. He looked busy in ‘restoring’ and ‘re-shaping’ all that he had retrieved from the garbage.
Immediately I was reminded of this Scripture.
2 Peter 2:22 (New International Version)
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,"[a]and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
The people to whom this garbage belonged knew not what their leader had done.
(This vision brought to mind a vision flash I saw many many months ago, in which, there were leaders in America, who were throwing many things out of the front door, but returning much of it through the back door).
Christians in America, be vigilant! Watch the back-door!
What I believe the Lord is Saying:
This vision , warns of those corporately repented, renounced and denounced, doctrines and beliefs and ways and such other things not of God, which some leaders in America, will after a while, hidden from the gaze of others, sneak some of those things NOT OF GOD, in through the back door, and re-introduce it to their congregations, in a new guise.
CAUTION!
There will be extremists who have thrown out that which ought not to be thrown out. In the coming days, such will have to repent and bring back THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, in full view of all, that which is of God, which they so 'fanatically' and hastily discarded.
Christians in America, be vigilant! Watch the BACK-DOOR!
2 Peter 22: 17-22
17These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. 20If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,"[f]and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
Proverbs 26:11 (New International Version)
11 As a dog returns to its vomit,so a fool repeats his folly.

I know that your vision is about the church but it also can certainly apply to each and every individual who repents and returns over and over, letting Satan deceive us into thinking we have something new and good in front of us when in fact it is the same thing in disguise.Have a blessed day in the Lord.

Yes, this applies to each of us individually, but I noticed that the vision is a warning to Christians to beware of leaders who collect things from the back door garbage.
As the leader seems to be anyone who has a public work, not just those who are pastors. Also, anyone who writes on the network for example. As Peter spoke for all Christians and teach them to be careful with these cheats.-2 Peter 2
Hi Etien,
Thank you. Yes, 2 Peter 2 !
Verse 22 .....................
22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Thank you so very much for sharing this.
May God Richly Bless you

BTW, Etien, just curious........how did you find this blog?
2 Peter 2
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Hi Swarna,
About a week ago I stood before God and said "God, I no longer want to feel as if I am alone in the world. I need to see that you teach other Christians the way you teach me." Then I decided to look for a vision like Escape from Christendom, which I really like. The search engine offered me different options and I began to examine them. After a while I decided that I can trust your blog to take this vision. I downloaded it and even put a link to it on the Bulgarian version of my site, but I wrote that I didn't know what else was there on your blog. Thus, I decided to to see what else had you written. I found the section "Visions" and have, since then, read a couple of dozen.

Hi Etien,
Praise God!
I had for a time taken down the Visions tab and had put it back up, recently.........I think a couple of weeks ago?
I praise God that you found this blog! I am so encouraged.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God
Great and Mighty is He.........
Thank you Etien.
May God Richly Bless you

Hi Swarna,
I am also grateful to God for his mercy.
Here's how I see it: The church of Jesus Christ (which we) and not the organizations, that are decorated today with his name, is the body of Jesus.
In the assembly of Jesus (which we), each of us has a gift given to him from God in order to serve one another in love and truth.
These days one person (the leader) serves the way he wish and the rest applaud them. Until that is not removed from the body of the Anointed, there will always be backyards and mountains of unnecessary stuff in the hearts of Christians.
Because God will never give his glory to another, so he will never allow a single human to do everything. He will not break his word! That is why the Christians are like one big kindergarten, which wants to feed only on chocolate and sweets and refuses to grow in maturity and wisdom, truth and ministry of God.
People nowadays prefer entertainment. That's why they put themselves pastors who mislead them that 'they are the greatest Christians' and 'that their church was chosen by God', and 'God will send revival right now'.
But God did not send them a different vision, because there is only one true vision - God wants us to be like His Son Jesus and to follow him. There is nothing else that pleases God, nor will there ever be.
Any vision that God gives us (thank God for his mercy) serves to teach us the truth, which is to be like Jesus and follow him. This vision will never be removed or be replaced.
These words, however, are too heavy for 'chocolate lovers'.
Hi Etien,
That is why the Christians are like one big kindergarten, which wants to feed only on chocolate and sweets and refuses to grow in maturity and wisdom, truth and ministry of God.
Sad but true. We need to go on to maturity.
People nowadays prefer entertainment. That's why they put themselves pastors who mislead them that 'they are the greatest Christians' and 'that their church was chosen by God', and 'God will send revival right now'.
And if the Lord Does not Send revival, they'll conjure up one anway, so people are not disappointed.
Thanks Etien for sharing.
May God Richly Bless you

Etien, I was reminded of this vision a few minutes ago.
VISION: THE MANUFACTURING OF WISDOM
http://tentsofissachar.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/vision-the-manufacturing-of-wisdom/
Hi Swarna,
thanks for the link.
That is why I wrote that today's leaders don't see, because they did not keep His word. But their time is coming to an end. Their truth could not resist the tests. He who humbles himself will be exalted, but which of today's leaders seek humility?
'But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Anointed. Why he said, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of the Anointed: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Anointed: That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even the Anointed: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.' (Ephesians 4)
Hi Etien,
Yes indeed, the sin of pride.
The utter rubbish that is uttered from the mouths of these pulpit pimps gets accepted as the word of God, by gullible christians.
In India, one hears of tales of horror, of how several leaders by their heavy 'pastoring' have enslaved their congregations.
Thanks Etien for sharing.
May God Richly Bless you
