Today I’m going to share with you a recent dream I believe God gave me. The timing of this dream was quite interesting. I had it on the morning of New Year’s Eve. I believe it contains important warnings for today’s church, so please give it your full attention.

Alright, I titled today’s episode “Prophetic Dream for 2025,” but let me be clear about this. I’m not claiming some high status for myself. This isn’t about me. But I do believe God speak to us.
Furthermore, the opinions I’ll share today about what this dream means – yeah, those opinions are mine. It’s how I interpret it, but I will not sell God short on His ability to clarify His message to me.
That being said, please seek God yourself regarding what I’m about to share…
My dream started in a church. There were tons of people, including lots of youth. From all appearances, it was a thriving church. However, I soon began to notice things that were upsetting.
A young woman flirting in a promiscuous way, a teenage boy stealing tithe money, an obviously gay couple of men inappropriately hanging all over each other, and an overall emphasis on worldly things rather than preaching the Gospel of Christ.
I was quickly compelled to leave the building. After a short walk though, I felt a prodding to go back. But the church was gone, demolished. Onlookers were staring in shock that it was just no longer there.
Then I noticed someone was developing a shopping center just behind the former church grounds, and construction was beginning on a large building where the church had stood. I saw rod iron and scaffolding going up and soon realized a new church was being built.
Soon, I found myself inside this new building, still under construction. It was far from finished but taking shape and recognizable as a church. Even though it wasn’t completed, there were people inside. Lots of people.
That’s when I realized all these people were not at all what I had seen in the church previously. They were from several different nationalities and very poorly dressed. They were all thrilled to be there and have a place to learn about Jesus.
I again left the building and began to walk up the road. As I did, it began to storm. I saw violent winds tear trees in half and blow away dirt, rocks, and seemingly everything. In the aftermath, I looked back and realized…this new church was still there.
When I awoke, I pondered my dream. It suddenly hit me. Clearly and profoundly. I believe it was a warning from God. Churches filled with sinful behavior and people just pretending to be saints will soon be destroyed. And even though there will be those who wish to build shops and other things on the grounds, God will preserve it for new places of worship. Then every person who truly needs that place will flock there, even before construction is finished, anxious to hear the Word of the Lord.
And this warning came on the eve of a new year. It is my belief that God is about to do new and mighty things. We will see His hands tearing down and then rebuilding. And that which He rebuilds will stand no matter what comes against it. Nothing will be able to tear it down. And people will know it is because of the Lord, and they will worship Him.
Praise God! May it be so! But we also must be sure we aren’t among those guilty of just playing church or misusing the House of God. This dream seems very reminiscent of when Jesus cleansed the temple. Let’s look at Matthew’s account of that…
Matthew 21
12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.” 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
So after violently – yes, violently – driving out all the thieves and riff raff, Jesus re-established the temple for its true purpose. People who needed that purpose served in their lives then showed up and were ministered to.
I believe we’re about to see a modern day version of that temple cleansing take place. If you think that seems harsh, that God won’t destroy churches He sees as unfruitful and evil – let’s see what happened just a few verses after Jesus cleaned house…
18 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.
Jesus didn’t just curse that fig tree because He was hangry and in a foul mood. It was bearing no fruit in a time when fruit was needed. Now, what do you suppose will happen to churches which are yielding no fruit during these days when people really need it? This is not the time for half measures. WE, as the church, must be doing the work God’s given us with all our might.
Think about it. The first command God gave to Adam and Eve was “Be fruitful and multiply.” Ever since then, there have been numerous warnings about fruitlessness.
The Bible says we are the branches attached to the vine, which is Christ. If we as those branches don’t bear any fruit, what happens to us? We get pruned! Cut off, and tossed into the fire! God makes it very clear what He expects of us.
As we move deeper into the final days, may we seek God’s face all the more. May we strive to be fruitful so that He will find us doing His will. Let us not be caught condoning sin or allowing evil practices to become commonplace in the Lord’s temple, which is our own bodies.
1 Corinthians 6
18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Indeed, we should glorify God in all we do. Let’s keep both our houses of worship AND these bodies, which are the temple of God, clean and holy. Those who fail to do this are soon going to reap the very wrath of God.
Seek righteousness now. Accept the correction of the Holy Spirit. Pray for wisdom, and strive to be fruitful. When the day comes, may we be found shining that Kingdom Light!
