Thank you-I think I understand what you are saying. I did not get the same idea as you did from my dream. I thought the other man in my dream WAS the symbolism of religious practices of the day. They sound nice and act nice-but they only pull you away from Christ who wants to be one with you. I have a completely different take on it than you do-but what you say does make alot of sense. Either way I understand and realize that A) My church is just part of Babylon like every other religious organization, and B) Christ wants me to be one with Him. My husband really has nothing to do with all of it. It has to do with me coming out of "Her", Babylon, and being Christ's. Which is what I desire wholeheartedly. So what's stopping me-probably fear. I am afraid of what I will lose but daily realizing that it doesn't matter. None of the stuff that we do at my church matters a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. I still have trouble believing that even now as I type it. Nothing my church does is helping anyone spiritually speaking. It's really not the stuff we do that I am worried about losing, but the people I have come to love-including some of my best friends and family members. Anyways, I have a long way to go. Thanks for bearing with me.
trying to Get it right! ;)

Hi Beth
I have been thinking a lot about your dream and praying. I just wanted to tell you I see what you see.
I thought at one time I had been called out of the worlds darkness by being in the church, Gods church.
Which for many is part of the process. But at the time I had not been given ears to hear or eyes to see. I've since come
to realize, as you, it is not only the world of this present darkness the Lord calls us out of, but to grow and
continue growing in Him we must also come out of her, babylon, and return to our first love as we have learned at bibletruths.com.
I have been thinking a lot lately and studying the scriptures about the voice of the bridegroom, the voice of the good shepard and the voice of God.
I hope I can say this right and from my own experience. When God started opening my understanding to the truth of the scriptures it was a process. There are many different stages I went through and am still going through. I believe God speaks to our hearts in many and various ways. In my experience: people, poetry,dreams,trials,websites. All these have been apart of my process so far in the Lord calling me out and giving me eyes that see and ears that hear. I can look back now and see these different ways the Lord was preparing me to receive to truth and I look forward to His continued work in my life. He surely is the Author and Finisher of my faith in Him and surely He will finish the good work He has begun in me and in us all!
I know you are in a hard place right now. I feel for you and with you, for I have had my share of hard places. I want to encourage you along with the others be strong in the Lord take courage. The Lord has you in the palm of His loving hands. He is our refuge and our dwelling place. He will finish the work He has begun in you.
Growing in His Grace, your sister in Christ
Crystal
