CCF International Church

Yesterday during our morning service the Lord showed me clearly a large banquet table in the new auditorium in the first floor of the Church….it was lavishly prepared with choice food and drink, the seats were well appointed….there was not a multitude, but a select group of people sitting at the table….I was positioned at the head of the table and those that were seated with me were my sons (men, women,children)

I believe that I had a vision of the Father/Son wineskin. This brought to remembrance the scripture we often refer to in Malachi

Malachi 4:5-6

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet

Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

6 And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,

And the hearts of the children to their fathers,

Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.

This is what I saw in my vision. I saw hearts turned…my heart turned towards my faithful sons, and the hearts of my sons turned towards me, the grace that fathers them. I saw that everyone was happy and satisfied with the food on the table, everyone was at peace….in one mind, in one accord…no jostling, pulling, pushing or coveting. Just peace and tranquility.

I wrote recently about a “heart to heart” connection that David demanded of those coming to him…this is because David knew the other patterns did not work in the long term. Apart from the total grace package that comes with a father, the relationship between a father and his sons was never intended to be mercenary….you have to connect to one another’s hearts.

1 Corinthians 13:8

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

All our gifts will gradually fade over a process of time…even fail us…knowledge will vanish away…like the drops of early morning dew at the coming of the sun…but love never fails…the love of God. 

It is this love that will keep sons around the banquet table of the father. This is the table where you will find the “children’s bread”. Jesus reminded the woman that this bread was not intended for “little dogs” but for the children.

Our greatest days will come when as a family we are thankful and appreciative of the father that God has installed in our lives. When this day comes, grace will come….we will experience Divine favor, breakthrough,unusual miracles, signs and wonders. Until that happens, all that we will have is a professional relationship that is mutually beneficial. 

Sheila and I will be at the Open Heaven Apostolic Conference for most of this week. I hope to talk to you from there. The Lord bless you.
