There was a road that Jesus was
walking upon. It started at the foot of the cross. Aligning the road on both sides were
many churches the denominations had built down through the church age. The Spirit of the
Lord had resided within each, but alas, soon they grew cold and he had to leave. Now He
was near the end of the road. Looking over his shoulder sadly he hoped the last church he
had just left would renew their first love, but it wasnt to be.He looked
straight ahead. Here was a new church. The road led right up to its front steps leading to
its front doors. This church was built right in the center of the road. All the previous
churches had been built to the right or to the left of the road leading from the cross.
This church, at the end of the street faced the cross on the other end of the street. It
wasnt made of timber or stone, but it was fashioned of the purest gold.
The Lord himself, entered in through the doors, walked up and took his place
directly behind the pulpit and began to speak. There would be no further churches
built nor fashioned of men. This was the final church of the church age the Golden
Church with the Spirit of Christ as her pastor.
This is what we as the Church have to look forward to - being shepherded by the Lord Jesus himself. We believe that we shall see this type of shepherding and pastoring within the Church body even before the second coming of Christ, as the Spirit of God does cleanse and purify the Bride making her ready for the time that the Bridegroom will come. This is the church that our souls cry out for - to truly be loved and shepherded as if it were Christ himself standing in the pulpits. This vision also speaks of the returning of Christ's mantle and anointing to the churches in a way and a manner that only the First Church who stood at the cross has ever seen. ~ A Vision from the Prophetic Roundtable by B. Franklin ~
