Old Skin

          Revelatory Dream I had this week from God. It started with a rectangular table, one of those cafeteria ones, the fold up kind. What was most interesting thing was that there was a minister, a very well-known guy with lots of followers on Facebook who travels all around the USA doing meetings almost every week of the year. In the dream, the focus got closer and closer to his face so I knew for sure who it was. What I noticed was that he had no gray in this straggly hair on his face. There were people at the table, young and old. I knew this person was father. Then, all of a sudden, the focus went over to a young lady ten or eleven years old. What was very, very interesting was that she had on this straw hat or one woven out of hay or straw. Right away I realized what God showed me. It was a pastoral run church, old system, but the crazy thing that got me was all the talk about apostolic, new wine, the remnant, the restoration of fathering, fivefold ministering. You name it. He’s on it. The crazy thing as well, I’ve tried to listen before to messages but only once I even felt the anointing. Actually, I could not finish listening because it wasn’t anointed in the love of God. I’m like, “Why all the open doors?” That was always bothering me because how could someone have so much information on what God is doing and not be anointed and have no fire, no dunamis power. I mean where ever we go, things shake, and people run to the altar, people cry out in jails, demons manifest and come out. I’ve been asking God what’s up with all this for a while because something is up. Lots of folks ask me the same thing. They know something is not right. Then after asking and asking, I got this dream. Thank you, God. I struggled again for days to release this. I was asking God is this for me to know, that what we are all seeing is true? So I cannot question even some things that come and attack what we are doing and saying. Some things are so full of truth and make the spirit leap. Some things are so off sometimes you are grieving for hours in your spirit. It’s not sound God said because of the old wine.
          Thank you, Holy Spirit, for confirming in the Spirit. Now I’m asking, “Ok, what’s the meaning?” God said he, the man in the dream, is operating in a pastoral, Babylonian system from denominational, even non- denominational structure 501-3c. The old wine (youth pastors, men’s pastors, music pastor and so on doing VBS). God said he is trying to bring the new skin without totally getting the new skin, talking about the new, not getting rid of the old. They are willing to change a few things but tweak here and there, but it’s still old wine no matter how much they teach and talk about the new. Pastors cannot build on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. They can’t be fathers. They may be trying to change a structure, but God is draining the swamp altogether.
“No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9: 16-17
          God refuses to put His Glory fully into a system that’s out of order made by man and where the gates are breached and man is running things. The structure is carnal and the blueprints are not from heaven but from religion.
          The further He goes trying to fill places and churches with the new, they can never hold it because they are still holding onto old structure, the old control/manipulation with board members, with pastors running churches, without any True heavenly ordained apostolic gatekeepers/overseers. When God is using the foolish things to confound the wise then they are still looking to man’s wisdom, man’s honor, and man’s favor. Because of this, unholy spirits have an open door. This teaching and anointing can only teach what is coming but only God’s true forerunners are apostles and will bring the order and the structure because they have the grace to do it. What is happening: pastors are turning into Saul and apostles into(David’s) and they are taking their place so instead of these teachers and prophetic pastors coming under the apostolic, they are trying to mimic what they have been reading and seeing and hearing from others but don’t have measure of grace according to the Gift, but it cannot work because God has his new foundational apostle who are trained, equipped, and ready to take the body of Christ to the next level. Because these pastors and teachers have built themselves up on man’s wisdom and man’s favor, they are refusing to let go and let God.
“How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God?” John 5:44
          So these pastors are trying to turn themselves into apostles. The problem is they are out of order so they are carrying nothing with the weight of Glory, just a gift, and they tell people they are anointed but anointed people know the difference. They talk, talk, talk. I mean that’s all they do is talk. They don’t walk the walk. They are fooling thousands and their pride is catching up to them. They are no longer little in their own eyes. The apostles are tearing off all the old skins, from music, to preaching, to training children, With heavenly vision from the book of Acts church once again. These pastors will talk all about God’s power but you never see dunamis power. God in reformation has apostolic forerunners and messengers carrying a double mantle, one for building the church the Spirit of Nehemiah; the other is the voice of Elijah the prophet To direct hearts back to the father and cut of the devils head. In one hand they have a brick and in the other they have a sword. Mark my words. Many that couldn’t or wouldn’t see will see. Then God said what the straw hat was: He told me it was man’s covering, false pastoral fathering and man’s work and man-made covering. Paul had few he called sons. He was an apostle! “Man-made covering is not from Me, denominational covering is not of Me. My blood and Glory cover my bride. I am judging and burning up this system. I am shaking everything that can be shaken. These houses entertain Baal and paganism and compromise in idolatry.”
1 Corinthians 3:4-20 says: “For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”
          “The hay hat will be burned up”: works of man and flesh programs mixing the world in the church, receiving money from the world. These houses will fall that are not built on the rock. “I have one gift that oversees the care of the churches and that’s my apostles. They are gate keepers My church will not have gates of hell. They have the anointing to clear the air when churches and spiritual children come under the mantle the governed and protected, not the man but the gift. They will have spiritual prayer and protection as they walk in Me. Pastors.They care for and look after the sheep and are very gentle and kind and needed so much,but not fathers so they need to stay in their lane and get new skins on.” But God has a government and order. It’s not about hierarchy but about government spiritual authority. Pastors are not demon slayers. Apostles take regions not a building full of sheep.
“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” 1 Corinthians 12:27-31
           See, this is a structure and order.
          So the hat on this girl was a false covering that will burn with the fire of God. If these leaders do not allow what God is doing, they will be taken out of the way. The no gray in the beard God told me is man’s wisdom and young and immature in spiritual things but to man it looks so mature. They sit in the House of God as father but it’s impossible to father hundreds and hundreds! 
“ For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.  We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;  And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:  Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.  I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.  Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.” 1 Corinthians 4:9-16 
          Apostles will father a few and equip the masses and impart the gifts of the spirit, oversee churches, turn tables, cast out demon’s by the finger of God and disrupt institutions. They want to be fathers, but they are never home, always traveling. You need to make an appointment to meet father? What kind of father has time to be intimate with 300 children and gives them one day a year? This is witchcraft. God is Father, call no man one. I’m all about having spiritual sons, but it’s not in mass.
            When Paul spoke, he said there will be few fathers because there will be few apostles, but God is Father or this comes from Catholicism. Fathers don’t make appointments with children. They are available 24/7. Children are God’s heritage. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 15. I wish I could father all sheep, but it’s physically impossible. Elijah will restore children back to God the Father. If you have an apostle in your intimate life, you are blessed. 
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127
          The apostles are building His house, but it’s on the earth, and it’s not just under one roof. It’s a lively house whose builder and maker is God. Let’s find our place in God and we find His favor and power. Nothing is new under the sun. Men will always draw people to themselves, but God will always draw hearts back to Him! Let no man make merchandise out of you. Let no man use the word of God to manipulate sheep to come under the control or power of another. Godly submission is good, is wisdom, and is of God, the counsel of many is wise but manipulation is using the word of God to draw men after you. God will judge. Let us come under the true government of God. Let the glory of God cover the earth as we enter this new season and this new TIME!
