This is a prophetic dream from Sue:
Greg and I were sitting in an old style church building. Keith was out the front. The service was about to begin. I looked around and noticed the church was full: there were no empty seats. Wow. I commented to Greg there were lots of people at church today.
I then looked at the doorway at the back of the church. Wow. The doorway was crowded with more people coming in. Lots and lots of people starting pouring into the church - that was already full. Hmm we needed to find seats and space. Grant found some old-style metal stack chairs and started putting them singularly in the middle aisle beside the pews. There was a group who asked for 8 seats together. Initially this looked impossible but when I looked back over some of the people who had already been sitting in the church had moved some of pews to the side/on an angle, so more single chairs could be placed together: great job.
The church was now very full. I looked up the front. Some of these people had bought in animals with them, and there were kittens running around up the front. I decided I needed to catch the kittens. As I went up the front and started to try and do so I asked Keith if he had a cat carrier? Keith said he did somewhere and proceeded to find it. I placed the kittens in the cat carrier.
I turned back from the front of the church. The room seemed to now have a refugee feel. There were crowds people milling in the aisle, moving slowly forward. I saw two of my (unsaved) cousins just near me and was surprised they were in the church. They greeted me warmly saying 'Thank you, this is so good'.
---------------------
Church service about to begin: all is prepared
Seats full: renewal in church
More people coming in: revival
Need to find extra seats, change current seating to fit: ready to change to accommodate
Animals coming in with people: extra stuff
Kittens: cute but a distraction....?unclean, bewitching spirit?
Catch the kittens: I saw the kittens and knew to catch them was my job then and there. Seer/Discernment of spirits gifting
Contain the kittens: Keith had/quickly found a carrier ?role of apostolic? ?keeping a lid on bad spirit influence in church?
Refugee feel: people coming in from the world. People realising they need what the church has
People moving forward in masses towards front of church: ? spiritual hunger (?not happy with back row)
Cousins, non-Christian: don't give up on the unsaved; no-one beyond God's reach.
I think God may have given this dream to encourage us to hold our ground and remind us to stay prepared. Renewal is coming in His time. Revival is coming in His time. We the church need to be ready to in an instant change existing structures to welcome and be accommodating to those who come.
God is also I think reminding us that the fish will not come clean. Unclean things will walk through the door. We need to be discerning and ready to activate our spiritual authority - but in a quiet and unobtrusive manner: not in a way that removes focus away from the main thing...which is hungry people seeking to draw near to God.
I think God is also encouraging us to not give up on family who do not yet know Him, nor operate from a mindset of 'they don't want to know God...they wouldn't come' rather uphold these people in prayer.
