WHITE WASHED WALLS

Let us ponder to severity of the following: To what extend are we these days speaking out of vain imaginations, building white washed walls, prophesying falsely, declaring false hope and false dreams? (Ezekial 13).
For the Lord says that those who do not obey Him and who does not speak in His Spirit builds a foundation and a structure that is weak and empty. How guilty are we of building white washed walls without any substance or building upon a foundation of sand? Surely, as it is written, the storms of the Lord and of life will come like the angles from the four corners of the earth and shatter these unstable walls.
How many white washed walls have not the church build or is currently is building? Do what extend is our construction sites cemented by vain imaginations, deceitful motives, self gain or chatter void of truth or spirit?
How many deeds and words and effort that are still birthed out of the flesh and vain imagination have erected these walls? Oh indeed the Kingdom is not one of words but one of power. When we speak the Lord’s truth and build His Kingdom we will build the true House of the Father.
For the Lord cries that He calls for a generation that will stand in the gap when those white washed walls come down. He calls for a generation to rebuild broken walls and become repairers of ancient ruins. Only when we move in the Spirit and in the Truth will we be able to build walls that are steady and sure. Only in obedience will we lay the right foundation.
But oh, we have build our white walls and have become white washed tombs like the Pharisees and the scribes (Matthew 23). We are all talk and full or ideas and full of nice words, but we keep building on sand and we keep on building a wall that will come down when the Lord’s hand moves against it.
For Israel the walls of Jerusalem was precious and holy, encircling the tabernacle of the Lord. The walls we are to build are the walls of the Kingdom that encloses His presence; it is thus the walls of the Kingdom that is within us; it is thus the House of the Lord.
Yet we build and build with plaster and cement and brick that will not stand the test of His fire. We exhaust ourselves for we are so clever. Vain imaginations. False prophecies. False workers. Deceptions - How it breaks down the walls of righteousness and truth! White washed walls looks so beautiful, but it so brittle, it is so weak and it is so unstable.
For it is those who look at these walls that cry peace, peace! For they cry everything is all right because the wall looks strong and mighty. Yet the Lord says it is those who cry peace, peace! are those who fail to see the truth and the light and the spirit of all lies. In the Lord’s eyes the walls are but brittle and nothing is fine. The walls will not stand and there is no peace for things aren’t right.
Yet we still cry peace, peace! for everything looks proper and the walls are nicely plastered and the tombs reflect the rays of the day. But in the eye of the Lord and in the Spirit of truth we must surely see beyond this world and reality and scream there is no peace for the walls will burn and collapse when the fire come!
Indeed, the fire and the wind of the Lord come to test all things; the wall will come down. For the Lord is the fire and the purifier and the refiner – only that which is noble and true will stand to testify of the Lord’s work.
Who will stand in the gap?
Who will rebuild and restorer?
The Lords calls a generation that will speak His Word and His truth and who will obey Him. Only then when the walls be rebuild to His glory.
No more lies.
No more deception.
No more false propechy.
Let us speak the word of God for then and only then will His will be done and He will be glorified.
God is Lord.
He is I AM.
