TEAR DOWN the WALLS" - A Vision
-by David Stansell.

I also had a vision in 2003 that spoke of a change in the Church.

I saw a red brick building. It was a church building. The roof was 
rotten, the wood in the walls was rotten. The remedy was to 
remove all the wood in the building. It needed to be replaced. It 
could not be repaired.

Well, this meant that the brick walls would have to be torn down 
as they were not in shape to support themselves without a 
connection to the wood. In very poor shape.

So I saw the building reduced to the foundation stones. I was ready 
to see a new building build on this old foundation.

However the Spirit of God spoke. "Take out the foundation. It is 
not substantial enough to support the building that I am ready to 
build on this ground."

The building that God is ready to build (Bride) is to be so much 
glorious than our present understanding. However, *are* we ready 
for Him to take down the present building? And take it down all 
the way to the original dirt? Our human side wants to hold onto 
something that is recognizable from our past. It then becomes 
that leaven that brings back all the old junk of the previous life.

Then I heard, "I am looking for a 'General Contractor' who will build
according to the blue print." Then I understood that He would only 
entrust the construction of this building to someone who is fully 
submitted to do all and not less that all that comes from the throne 
of Heaven. We are not the architect. It is not our job to design 
the building.

Shortly after the vision I was in Acts 5. In verse 32, I was over-
whelmed with the truth that we do *not* have the ministry of the 
HOLY SPIRIT because we do *not* obey his voice. (Jer 7: 22)...

God is ready for His bride to operate in all the power that Jesus 
had while He was on this earth (Scriptures say this) when we are 
ready to relate to God the same way Jesus related to the Father.

As I look at church history, I see that God gave men truth and 
they used their minds to ADD more truth. And then this new truth 
brought death to the truth of God. Where are the people who can 
be obedient only to the simple truths brought by the Holy Spirit?
