This vision was given to Brother Bill Burns of Faith Tabernacle in Colorado, and, we believe, is for us all..
THE BRIDGE
November 11, 2000:
Last night in church I began to have a vision of a bridge
that the Lord was building. This morning that vision has
expanded as I saw more of the details of what was taking
place. I saw a city, and I asked the Lord, "What City is
this?"
The Master answered, "The name of this city is Christian
City; it represents the church. But, it will soon be
called Babylon." He then asked me a question, "What are
they doing?"
I quickly went from house to house, and then I gave this
report: They are watching television and the news reports
about the election results in America, and they are
discussing what will come of all of this.
The Lord then said, "What did you learn from watching?" I
replied, "America is divided." He then said, "As it is in
the natural, so it will be with the church. Watch and
learn." As I watched, an angel flew over the city and
cried out with a loud voice, "Come out of her, you people
of the Lord, for the Master is calling you to come out
from among them and touch not the unclean things of this
world. The time is short; come and follow your Jesus."
I watched in amazement, for most of those in the city were
too engrossed with the cares of their world to answer the
call. However, some had listened, and some had obeyed, and
they came forth from the city. As they gathered together
for the journey I noticed that each one brought their
baggage with them. Some carried only a brief case; some
had a couple of suitcases; some were pulling a small cart
filled with an assortment of bags.
The angel then called to the people and told them to
follow the trail called "Zion's Way" to the top of the
mountain. The people obeyed and followed the ancient
pathway to the top of the mountain. It was quite a hard
journey for those who were pulling carts because the path
was narrow, and it was also steep.
They all made it to the top of the mountain, but they came
to a deep canyon, and they could proceed no further. They
camped there not knowing what to do. At this point the
Lord began to speak to them, and this is what He said:
"You are here because you have each desired to know Me,
and this is why you were able to hear Me. That is why you
have obeyed the command to follow Me. Many of you desire
to know me better than you do now. You have often
struggled because of unbelief, but as you cross over this
canyon, your desires shall be fulfilled. The name of the
mountain that you are camped on is called Second Day. The
mountain across the canyon is Mount Zion. That is your
destination."
Some of those in the camp said, "But, Lord, how shall we
cross over?" The Master replied, "Examine yourselves now.
Do any of you have any faith? I say that all things are
possible with God. Do you have any faith?"
A few of the people said, "Yes, Lord, we believe that if
you want us to go to Zion, then you will make a way." The
Lord of Hosts then commanded the angels to gather up the
faith of those who had spoken and said, "Build My bridge."
The angels then brought the faith of those who spoke to
the edge of the canyon and began to build.
As the angels picked up the faith of the people, their
faith took on the shape of various sizes of bricks,
depending on the faith that was produced. As the angels
set the bricks in place, the Master Builder (Jesus) would
bind them together with a substance which I knew was His
glory. As His glory touched each brick, the bricks became
larger, and the work was begun.
This work quickened the faith of the people, and soon
shouts of faith were heard throughout the camp, and more
building bricks were produced. The work was progressing
quite well when an angel came and posted a sign at the
gateway to the bridge which read: "This bridge leads to
Zion. As you cross over, you will enter into the Third
Day. The name of the bridge is the Narrow Way, and you
cannot take any of your baggage with you."
The bridge was, indeed, very narrow and had hand rails on
it that would not allow any baggage to be carried across
it. The bridge was designed so that it was necessary that
one's hands remain in contact with the rails to insure a
safe journey. The name of the rails was hope.
At this point I began to see that each piece of baggage
had a name on it. I saw bondage and unbelief labels on
some, and others were called compromise, works of the
flesh, fear, and many other things that had become
attachments to this world. I had also noticed that those
who carried brief cases had never set them down...not even
for a moment. The labels on the brief cases were
identifying different kinds of ministries.
The Master then spoke, "This canyon represents a further
place of division. The baggage that you have brought with
you belongs to the Second Day, and you cannot bring it
with you. You must decide, for those things cannot be
brought into the Third Day. If you will leave your baggage
and cross over by faith, I will deliver you from the
bondages of the Second Day and bring you into the glory of
the Third Day where all things become new. This is the
time of the Great Crossover. Come, My people, for the
bridge is finished. Cross over now before the night comes
and the way cannot be found. Forget those things which are
behind you, and press forward into a bright and glorious
new day."
To my delight, most of the people who had followed the
Master to the mountain top crossed over. They left their
baggage, and by faith crossed the bridge. But, not all;
some could not bear to give up their possessions, and like
the rich young ruler they went back down the mountain,
back to Babylon and bondage.
The sun was now setting, and back down the valley I could
see the dim lights of the city. It was now time for me to
also cross the bridge. As I reached the other side of the
canyon, the darkness was behind me, and I could see a
great light before me. This was the light of Zion, the
city set upon the mountain of the Lord. The echo of the
Master's words have persuaded me, "Cross over; cross over
now, for deep darkness is coming upon the earth, but the
light of My glory shall rest upon My people."
What about you? Will you lay aside your baggage and the
sin that so easily besets you? Will you come and cross
over the bridge of faith? Will you come to the mountain of
the Lord?
Micah 4:1-2 --Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord's house Shall be established
on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above
the hills; and peoples shall flow to it. Many nations
shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He
will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths."
For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of
the LORD from Jerusalem.
In Jesus' Name,
AMEN
