A Firm Foundation from the Words of Jesus

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell -- and great was its fall." Matthew 7:24-27 NASB


The Jealousy of God was Manifested in an Apostolic Dream

During a time of rest, I received a very vivid dream that was apostolic in content and nature. In this revelatory encounter, the atmosphere was permeated with the presence of the "jealousy of God." I was taken to a construction site where the foundation of a house was being prepared.

Two angels came and stood at the front of each corner of the property, overseeing the approaching construction. The ground was rocky and the earth was crying out for a deep, strong, firm foundation to be laid, as there had been many shakings and earthquakes in the region over the years.

Very deep trenches were dug and cement trucks then appeared on the scene to pour the foundation. The first layer of cement was poured and I watched as it "set up to dry." Writing in script appeared on the front right foundation stating, "Jesus Christ -- The Messiah of the Jew and the Gentile." As I continued to watch, script appeared on the left front stating, "Apostles and Prophets -- Fathers and Mothers of the Ages."


The Pouring of the Foundation Continued

The cement trucks pulled up again and another pouring proceeded as I continued to watch in the Spirit. Script appeared again on the second layer of foundation as it began to set up. On the front right corner the words "Humility" emerged, and on the left "Integrity" manifested. The scene repeated a third time with a phrase surfacing to the top of the freshly poured cement -- "Intimate Worship from a Pure Heart."

I was now keenly aware that this was no ordinary house that was about to be built. It was an Apostolic House for the Glory of God in the End Times. Another cement truck came and unloaded its quick drying substance. Once again, words appeared, "God's Heart for the Poor and the Desperate." As soon as these words rose to the top another phrase popped forth into view -- "God's Healing Presence." The foundation now appeared to be complete as a demonstration of the "power of God" was established for the foundation of the House.


Awakened with a Word

Suddenly, so it seemed, I was awakened from out of this detailed dream as a voice from the Lord spoke to me. I was awakened with a word from the angels that were overseeing the construction of the house.

With the presence of the "jealousy of God," I clearly heard, "This is the House that is Built to Last." I laid there marveling on the wisdom that permeated this God Encounter.


How Is Your House Built?

In these Last Days, the Holy Spirit is sending help to make sure that the foundation of each of our personal lives is strong, secure, and "built to last." This is true, as well, for the corporate dwelling place of God -- the church -- the body of Christ. Is Jesus the cornerstone of your life? Is your house established upon the revelation, lifestyle, and truths of the apostles and prophets -- the fathers and mothers of the faith throughout the church ages? Are you maintaining a life of integrity and humility with a heart filled with pure worship?

Are you asking the Lord to restore the ancient foundation of God's heart for the poor and the desperate? Are you seeking the Lord for a greater release of His healing presence to demonstrate His love and mercy? Since having this dream, I am asking myself and the Lord these questions.

So, now I ask you the same questions the "jealousy of God" has been asking me. How is your house built? When the winds, rains, and storms that Jesus spoke about come, "Is your house built to last?"

Let us acquire wisdom from the Lord and build our house so that it will stand firm as a testimony of His greatness! The storms of life will come. Will your house stand? Let the House that is Built to Last come forth for the Glory of God!


From the Desk of James W. Goll

Michal Ann and the Encounters Network Team have returned from an amazing time in Mozambique serving the ministry of Rolland and Heidi Baker. Hundreds were saved, deaf ears were opened, and the team members were jolted by the impact of authentic revival and its demands!

By the grace of God, in recent weeks, I have been experiencing an increase of authority and favor upon my speaking ministry and an increase of the healing power in the various meetings and outreaches. We thank the Lord for all the lives that are being encouraged, healed, and empowered.

We are looking forward to the new books God Encounters and Praying for Israel's Destiny getting into your hands! We are excited about these new tools and pray that they will be greatly used in the Master's hands. Agree in prayer with us!

I have more Good News! There is no more cancer in the shrinking growth behind my stomach! The growth on my collarbone -- though it still has active cancer in it, has now shrunk to 17% of the original size. Thank the Lord with us for this news and continue to intercede that the healing be completed. I will attempt to take the rest of the summer schedule a bit slower than normal to cooperate with the healing and restoration process. Thanks for standing with us through prayer and finances during these days.

In Christ Jesus!
