| Vision 2 of 5 A VISION OF THREE HOUSES by Bill Burns December 21, 2008 Faith Tabernacle P. O. Box 1148 Kremmling, Colorado 80459 http://ft111.com I had a vision of The Bridge that the Lord was building. In that vision Jesus called His people out of Christian City (Mystery Babylon) and led them up a path called Zion's Way to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain a deep canyon separated the Second Day from the Third Day where Zion was to be established. The people were required to lay their baggage down before they could cross over the bridge of faith and enter Zion. The baggage represented bondages that the people carried. In that vision I saw many people who desired to serve the Lord lay their baggage down and cross over into Zion, the city of God. The vision ended with the Church of the Firstborn entering the city called Zion as they passed through the gates of that great city. I have now received part two of that vision. I saw a multitude of people (those who crossed the bridge) milling around in the courtyards of the Great City. These had crossed over into the Third Day, but they were not sure about what they should be doing. The people were happy to be in Zion, and they were glad to have received the revelation of the Third Day, but they still lacked direction. At this point in the vision, the Master welcomed His people to Zion, and then He called our attention to three houses that were located in the center of Zion. He then told us that we are presently in "the Day of Preparation" (Nahum 2:3), which is the first minutes and hours of the Third Day. The three houses are places where we shall be prepared so that we might be equipped to rule and reign with Him in Zion. The name of the first house was "The House of Restoration." This house was designed by the Lord as a place of healing for those who have come to Zion, but they have been wounded in their Christian journey. This house has been established to fulfill Hosea's prophecy that "after two days He will revive us." This house is a place of healing where the resurrection power of the Third Day will restore us and make us whole. Hosea declared that "on the Third Day He will raise us up." We are in the days of the "restoration of all things," and the first order of restoration is the healing of God's people -- body, soul and spirit. Once we are restored by the Great Physician, then we will truly fulfill that which the apostle Paul spoke: Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. The remaining two houses are houses in which we will be taught by the Teacher how to rule with Him in Zion as priests and kings. The first revelation of Christ in the Book of Revelation is that we are to be made to be kings and priests of God (Revelation 1:6). The name of the second house was called "The House of Priests." In this class room the Master will teach us how to become priests of God after the order of Melchizadek (Hebrews 7:15) in the likeness of Christ Himself. First, we will be taught to minister to God through our worship and devotion to the Father. This teaching will impart the divine nature of Christ to His people, which will result in our being changed into His image, causing us to do only the will of the Father. As we establish this as our primary objective, we will then be qualified to minister to men. We will receive a priestly anointing to minister to mankind in the same manner and power that Jesus did. (John 14:12) The name of the third house was called "The House of Kings." In this house the Master will teach us how to rule and reign with Him over all of the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19) Revelation 21:24 tells us that the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into Zion (also see Hebrews 12:22). We will receive training from the Master Teacher that will equip us to rule over the kings of darkness (see Psalm 149:8-9). The kingly anointing destroys the yoke of the oppressor and sets the captives free (Isaiah 61:1-4). As kings of God we will be taught how to use the weapons of our warfare that are mighty through God to the pulling down of the enemy's strongholds (thrones of principalities and rulers of darkness). We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ and are, therefore, to rule with Him in heavenly places (spirit world). Once we have been prepared by receiving from Jesus the benefits of these three houses, then we will be prepared to demonstrate the power of the kingdom in this, the Day of His Power, which is the Third Day of Christ. Then, we will have been changed from glory to glory into the image of the Firstborn of all creation, and we can be about the Father's business as Jesus was. And, the sons of the glory of the Day of the Lord shall shine forth as the Son in the kingdom of their Father. |
