Seeking the living amongst the dead..the glory has departed

I woke this morning with this question I heard in my spirit from the Lord “why are you seeking the living among the dead?”

These words are from Luke 24:5-6 NKJ The disciples had gone to look for Jesus in the tomb where he had last been seen. The tomb is empty and the angels say “why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen

I believe that this is a question that the Lord is asking us as His followers today.

Why are you looking for the living amongst the dead.

As I say, I woke in the early hours hearing those words in my spirit and as I have prayed the Lord has spoken further. I believe the Lord is speaking to someone in this word. This is a heavy word to my heart. Please weigh and test. If the Lord is speaking to you through this word then pray. Pray it through with a trusted friend.

There are many of My people who have been trapped in places where My Spirit has left. I have risen and departed but My people have not noticed. They have been deceived by a false presence, a false anointing and a false spirit.

These are the days to ask yourselves – why am I looking for the living amongst the dead.

What fruit do you see My children.

Do you see growth of My fruit.

Is the fruit of the Spirit evident amongst you.

Is there life.

Is there the life of Christ in your midst.

Is there the life of Christ modelled and shown in your midst.

Are you looking for the living amongst the dead.

If so, you need to discern if I am in that place.

If not then just as I have departed so you too need to depart – for My Spirit, My glory has left that place.

The glory has departed.

The time has come to realise that the place you stand in is a place of death, a place of dry bones and the Spirit of the Lord has departed.

Why are you looking for the presence of your Lord and Saviour in such a place. Depart and leave behind the former things for He is not there.

He has risen.

He has moved and departed from that place of sin and is there no more.

He who has ears let him hear what the Spirit is saying. Amen.

    Reminds me of some graffiti I saw on a Lutheran church in Copenhagen which had become an art gallery: ‘God was here’. And Ichabod: the glory has departed

    This is a dream from 2012 that goes along with what the Lord showed you.

    Whom Do You Seek? “Why do you look for the living among the dead”,?

    I had a vision last night, September 1, 2012 of a church building. Outside of the building standing in front of the doors were 2 men dressed in white robes, angels I presume. When people would come up to the doors of the church building, the men in the white robes would ask them whom do you seek. When those coming up to the church would say Jesus of Nazareth, the men in the white robes would reply, “He is not here, He has risen”.

    The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.(Mat 28:5-6 NIV)

    In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: (Luk 24:5-6 NIV)

    “However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. (Act 7:48)

    The institutional church is breathing its last and this vision that I saw above goes along with a dream I had in May of 2010.

    In the dream, I saw a wooden coffin and inside the coffin, I saw a church with 2 very large pillars outside. also saw the lid of the coffin resting on the knuckles of 2 hands and the hands in turn were resting on the coffin like one would do just before nailing it shut. So, as you can imagine, there was very little light left in the coffin because of the lid of the coffin being almost on the coffin. Getting back to the church I saw inside the coffin, I saw thousands of people coming out of the church and jumping out of the coffin as fast as they could. However, there were 2 groups of people who refused to leave, in fact; they had their fists held in the air. These 2 groups were standing by the 2 very large pillars I had seen earlier in my dream. These pillars I was told had names. The name of the first pillar was religion and the name of the second pillar was politics.

    The interpretation of the dream was given by a by a brother in the Lord, Guy Walton, and is as follows:

    A coffin is what you bury the dead in. The coffin in your dream is religious tradition holding the church (the people in the church) in captivity from following Jesus. The two large pillars outside are the gods of the church. The hands belonging to the knuckles in which the lid of the coffin rested on were the hands of the Lord holding the lid from closing all the way till those who were going to leave this traditional church made it out. The hands which were resting on the coffin like they were about to shut it was the hands of the spirit of anti christ who was shutting out the light through lies and deception. This will be a time as the parrabel in Matt 25 of the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins. The foolish virgins will be those remaining in the coffin and refusing to repent from their gods of religious politics and accept the life of Christ. Those coming out of the coffin are those who recognize the end is here and they came out from among them as God said to do in 2 Cor. 6:14-18. The door is about to shut and be sealed.

    Some additional things the Lord showed me John 5:25 NIV84

    25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

    Those who hear are the ones coming out of the casket. The people who standing by the pillars refusing to leave are the ones of whom Jesus says that they are trying to kill Him because there is no room in their hearts for His word. Which is why they did not leave the church in the coffin and why they will try to kill any move of God that would cause people to want to leave the coffin. They prefer the darkness of the coffin where their deeds go unexposed John 3:19-21 NKJV

    And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.
    Also this vision from 2020

    Follow The Cloud

    I’ve seen this vision for a while now so I am going to post it. Imagine, if you will, a church building that had been destroyed and this will show what I saw in the vision. The church lay in ruins, no roof overhead, walls crumbled, but some pews remained intact. I saw people there and at first glance one would want to commend them for their faithfulness. However, what i saw next changed my perspective. I saw a cloud moving away from the destroyed church building. There were a few, and let me reemphasize, a few saw the cloud and left while the majority stayed in the destroyed church building, I saw nothing else around, i.e., new church buildings. It was just the people who had chosen to follow the cloud wherever it was leading. The Israelites followed the cloud. When it moved, they moved. When it rested, they rested. Like the church building in my vision those refusing to follow the cloud would be left basically in the desert to fend for themselves. Following the cloud is imperative in these last days as we are headed into uncharted territory. Those in the destroyed church building, although the cloud was no longer there, stayed because it was a place they were familiar with. The cloud represents a walk of faith, a giving up the familiar and yielding to the unfamiliar. To not follow the cloud, is to be in rebellion, face famine of hearing God’s Word, His presence.

    This vision started when I heard the Lord speak to my spirit saying the cloud is moving.

    Num 9:15 — Num 9:18

    The Cloud and the Fire
    (Ex. 13:21, 22; 40:34–38)
    Now on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire. So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would pitch their tents. At the command of the LORD the children of Israel would journey, and at the command of the LORD they would camp; as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped.
