Lampstands Falling and God’s Seal of Approval

No longer shall man esteem himself in his own eyes, but rather man shall lay his accomplishments at My feet, seeking only My Approval!

Posted on

Many Revelations are coming to light.

Mostly are shockingly bad — but occasionally encouragingly good!

In the middle of a Zoom prayer call recently, the LORD interrupted my flow with just one Word — “Lampstands!”

My mind immediately went to a Prophetic Word from my old mentor, which spoke about the LORD ‘moving or removing lampstands…’

The LORD seemed to say, “That sort of thing!” — and He took me to Revelation 2,

“Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.” Revelation 2:5 NLT.

Then He added, “It’s not just Churches that I AM talking about!”

I asked for further revelation on this, and this is what I heard: “Look at the ‘Lampstands’ that man has made for his own enjoyment and ego — Church lampstands of doctrine, denominations, and leaders — all placed on pedestals and altars of various shapes and sizes.

Then you have Worldly lampstands of entertainment, finance, academia, sport, politics, technology, and families — again, pedestals and altars set up for man to worship man rather than God.

Man has put himself and his so-called achievements on pedestals and altars of worship that reduce their Creator to a coincidental bit part to man’s own self-esteem.

Now,” says The LORD, “I shall remove all their Lampstands and replace them with the vile and stinking mess that many of them are in My eyes!

No longer shall man esteem himself in his own eyes, but rather man shall lay his accomplishments at My feet, seeking only My Approval!

The truth of My Word shall be revealed to those to whom it applies!”

“Then you will destroy all your silver idols and your precious gold images. You will throw them out like filthy rags, saying to them, “Good riddance!”” Isaiah 30:22.

“We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags .Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.” Isaiah. 64:6.

“Man’s ‘righteousness’ shall be revealed as nothing but rags before Me.

I shall take their Lampstand and move it to where it shall be a lamp upon a hill, and people shall know and understand My Seal of Approval!” says The LORD of Hosts
