False Strength

I saw an image in my vision this morning. A man that stood about 6 feet tall. (I do not know the importance of that, it just seemed so). This image was very funny looking. Humorous. The head was swelled up huge and the top of the shoulders looked like it was the beginning of a large, strong man, muscular and built. But then I looked at the rest of the body. The arms looked like they were from an old man that was thinning to the bone. The chest was drawn up and you could count the ribs for lack of any meat. The stomach was drawn up in lack of nourishment. The hips were wide like they should have belonged to a built man but there was no meat on the bones. The hips stuck out like wings from this body. The legs were knock-kneed and so scrawny that they couldn't hold the body up. The feet looked like they had been bound up and shrunken.

If you just looked at the head and top part of the shoulders (like you were looking at a clay bust) you would say what an awesome figure. But the rest of the body showed the true image.

Above the image I saw two hands appear. They were fearful looking. They were clasped together but then came apart. The hands opened about 4 feet apart, and then came quickly back together clapping, resulting in a thunderous boom. The impact of it caused the head and the top of the shoulders to fall off the image. When they hit the ground the head and the top of the shoulders shattered.

I felt this was from God and this is what He was trying to tell me:

“I have raised you up to be a mighty body, to bear a lot of weight and to do mighty works, what happened? I will tell you what happened,” says the Lord. “You took it upon yourself to build yourself up and the ones that were closest to you, and then you forgot about the rest of the body. You failed to send out what I truly sent you to nourish the body. But you horded it to yourself instead of spreading it out like I instructed. So, you and those closest to you grew like you were supposed to but the rest of the body was full of lack.

“The arms that were meant to carry those that were sick, couldn't because they had no muscle past the shoulders. They were called to reach out in love, but they don't know how due to a lack of the teaching I intended for them.

“The chest, which was meant to breathe out the anointing to sustain the rest of the body (others), could not because the air was being held in by you, so the yoke-crushing anointing remained inside.

“The stomach or bowels that were supposed to extend mercy (relief) couldn't because it was being starved and all the nutrients of life were being exhausted in the lack. The rivers of life that were supposed to flow couldn't because of the “famine” of the Word that caused by not spreading it out.

“The hips that were meant to bear children (new Christians) was made unfertile because it was never given the opportunity to produce. You withheld yourself from Me the Bridegroom until your hips dried up and you become a barren.

“Your legs, which were supposed to carry your body, can't even stand up because you never allowed them to go out and exercise. The feet that were supposed to carry the Good News cannot because you bound them up so tight through jealousy and fear that YOUR glory would diminish because of the work I called them to. So, instead of carrying the goodness of the Gospel they ache and hurt from the binding.

"Now I have stretched forth my hands and I will clap them together, that will cause a thundering to go forth to break you. I will no longer tolerate your arrogance and your pride. I will cause a deafening noise to come and break off the things that are holding my body back, even if it means that the head will roll.”
