                        The Brick Wall
                        
I wanted to share a vision that I had in a dream: 

    I saw a brick wall. This brick wall was a section of a building. 
    The wall was made of bricks layered on top of other bricks from 
    the top to the bottom. I saw a black spirit remove a brick on the 
    lower part of the wall. As soon as the brick was removed, the 
    spirit stealthily entered this place. 

    Some time passed before I saw another spirit inconspicuously remove 
    the next brick right above the other brick that was removed. The 
    spirit stealthily entered the building. Again, there was along pause 
    as time passed, and no one inside or outside noticed these events. 
    I saw another spirit remove another brick next to the side of the 
    first brick removed, the spirit quietly and inconspicuously removed 
    the brick and entered inside. I saw this event continue on several 
    times. 

As I prayed for the interpretation, the Lord brought me to Jude 3-4:

	Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to 
	our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was 
	impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] 
	to contend for the faith which was once for all [handed down 
	to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief 
	which was delivered verbally to the holy people of God]. 
        4For certain men have crept in stealthily gaining entrance 
        secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, 
        ungodly (impious, profane) persons who the grace (the spiritual 
        blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness 
        and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, 
        Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 

The Holy Spirit showed me, and is revealing to us, how to pray for the 
Body of Christ (the Church) at this present time in the world.

The Holy Spirit said we must contend for the faith. We need to have 
godly, spirit-filled believers praying and praying in the Spirit for 
the church and its leaders. The church needs prayer warriors praying 
and interceding for the faith.  The Holy Spirit brought to my spirit 
Ephesians 6 and John 10. The enemy is out to steal, kill, and destroy 
the church. We must set praying warriors around the walls of the 
church praying in the Holy Spirit. This is not a time to sleep or grow 
tired. Contend for our faith and not become complacent in our watch.

This vision was a warning to us (His children). We must stay awake as 
we contend for our faith.  

Jude says, "But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most 
holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of 
God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. On 
some have compassion, making a distinction, and some saving them out 
of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.  
Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you 
faultless before the presence of His glory in great joy, to God our 
Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, 
both now and forever. Amen."

For such a time is this we must pray and keep watch for His coming is 
soon.
