Dreams and Visions

Walls


Note: We received the following prophetic vision at a wonderful Sunday AM service in a Casa Grande home church in October.

During an active praise session the Holy Spirit gave me the very first part of a Word of the Lord. It was “There are no walls”. I kept praying this statement over & over to myself. After repeating it for the 10th or so time I said it out loud over & over again. My words just blended into the other vocal praise that was going on from the rest of the believers that morning. However the Pastor heard me and he picked it up and used it in his vocal praise as well.

As he repeated the statement I received an open vision of the area around Casa Grande. I saw the city and the farm land from about 5000 feet. There were no walls (spiritually speaking). I saw the area was wide open in the spirit realm with no major divisions showing on the landscape below me.

During this open vision I asked the Lord “Where were the walls”. He said, “I will show you” He told me to look to the North. I could easily see all the way past Sky harbor airport, into central Phoenix. He told me to look closely. I looked more intently and began to see walls running two and fro all over the greater Phoenix valley. These walls were not randomly built. By their sheer size they revealed a deep need to control an area of the city by someone or some group. The walls seemed to be grouped around areas that were major housing developments. It was clear all the major businesses and shopping centers were ignored by these walls. Even the various city boundaries were ignored.

The walls were uniform in height & thickness. They were about 14 or 15 feet high and a good 3 feet thick. I could make out individuals and groups of people inside each little compound.. Some people looked very happy and were having a grand time. However there were other individuals and small groups clustered near the walls of their compound. It looked as if they were trying to climb up and over the wall in front of them. In some places there was a small group of people trying to help each other over the walls.

I even saw one group get someone on top of a wall that turned and assisted everyone else to get out. I watched intently as the entire group got themselves on the top of the wall. The group began to move in single file along the top of the wall as they followed the first climber. I kept my eyes on the leader. He passed by several other compounds then he shouted to the others that he found the new compound. The group was excited and very animated. When they got to the new compound, they all helped each other get down off the wall. As they adjusted to the new compound, they were greeted by others that were already inside.

I asked the Lord what was the purpose of these compounds. HE explained they were the areas of influence of each church community in the city. That the Pastors and church communities had built these massive walls to keep the faithful flock attached to their building and ministry.

I told the Lord that these compounds may be good to keep current members but it was making things harder to get new members. HE stated that it was easier to keep the members they had than to recruit new believers or get others to change from one compound to another.

He went on to describe that the walls were man made. He did not make them nor wanted them since they hold back His people. I asked Him if I had scuff marks from the compounds that we had been in. He told me that we had lots of bruises but no lasting marks. The bruises would soon disappear.

He went on to explain that HE wanted my wife and I to live before HIM without the walls. He continued to state that he never wanted us to live inside the walls again. He wanted us to be free to visit any community that we were sent to. It did not matter if there were walls or not. He said someone who had experienced the walls would understand others still inside the walls.

HE shared that he wanted me to experience the “No Walls” life style as part of a plan to bring us out of this past phase of our walk with HIM. HE continued to make it very clear that it was time for us to be used as HE directs.

As this all transpired while I am hovering above Casa Grande and directly below me was the roof of the hone church. Immediately I was back in the service.
