The Failed Church - UBM [David Eells]

My friend Elaine wrote to you last Sunday (8/04/13), I believe asking you to agree with us in prayer for my healing after I was taken by ambulance to the hospital for a bowel obstruction due to Crohn's disease. She asked me to contact you myself to let you know that indeed, God has healed me. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday.

Please let me share with you what happened to me last week, beginning August 3rd. I believe that what I lived was a parable. The first night after I returned home from the hospital (August 7th), I had a very significant dream (August 8th - early morning). I asked Father to give me understanding and to confirm all this through His Word. For the past two to three days, God has been revealing things to me and has given me Scriptures to confirm it.

Let me give you a bit of background. As a child of seven or eight, I began to suffer from Crohn's disease, although I was not diagnosed until I was 24. I have had two bowel resections and lived through many bowel obstructions which caused me to be hospitalized. My husband was once told I would not make it through the night (1966), but I lived and three years later I gave my life to Jesus and began to follow Him. That was on September 29, 1969.

In 2006, after hearing a UBM teaching about God's healing -- that our healing had already taken place, that by His stripes we were healed -- I claimed this healing and was miraculously healed. That was seven years ago. I have not had any symptoms of the disease until last week. I testified to many people how Jesus had healed me. Many thought I was just imagining it and was just in remission but others did believe. Just a few days before this last episode happened, I had testified to a friend of mine who suffers from Crohn's that Jesus had healed me. I remember thinking at the moment I spoke those words that I would surely be tested on that.

I have been praying for a very long time for my family and friends who do not follow Jesus and my heart has been breaking at the thought of them not being saved and having to go through the coming disasters not knowing who their refuge and deliverer is. I have also been concerned for those who do know Jesus, yet are following men or the beliefs of men, rather than the true Jesus, and think they will escape anything bad because Jesus will come and take them away before disasters strike. Did not Jesus say {Joh.17:15} I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.

I have also been praying for a while now for God to purify me, to sanctify me, to help me put the old man (old flesh) to death, to crucify that old flesh, whatever the cost. Father has begun the process and though it has been very painful at times, Jesus is always there to see me through. The parable I lived this past week was another session of the 'crucifixion' of this old man (flesh). However, this time I became a living parable and with it came a reminder of His wonderful promises of provision for His remnant when everything around us is collapsing; a Psalm 91 promise.

Last Saturday (August 3rd), when I least expected it, I began to experience symptoms of bowel obstruction like I have had many times in the past. When it started, I rebuked these symptoms, reminding the enemy that I had already been healed and to go away in Jesus' name. I carried on my activities as if it was gone. However, instead of getting better, the symptoms got worse and worse, until my husband had to call for an ambulance.

My husband and I are both from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and we first came to a large city in Alberta in 1980. In 2006, knowing what was soon coming to large cities, I began praying that if it was God's will, that He would provide a way for us to move out of the large Alberta city we were living in at the time, to a place of His choosing. God miraculously opened a door for us and we now live in a rural city of about 11,000 people, situated in the heartland of the province of Alberta. This rural city has a small hospital with a Long Term Care facility. My husband and I volunteer in the LTC and we have seen the decline of our healthcare system firsthand. We have seen the lack of concern by this Babylonish system for people and in particular for older, vulnerable people. I must say, however, in all fairness, that there are some good, caring and compassionate people who work in this Babylonish system. However, those are the exception to the rule.

On my way to the hospital, I remember praying and asking God to spare my life, reminding Him that I had asked Him to use me during the coming tribulation and to allow me to see my family come to Jesus, and God had confirmed to me that I would. So I held on to that promise. ({Heb.10:23} let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised.) I knew it was a time of testing and that He would be there with me during this trial. Just as Satan had to get permission from God to touch Job, I knew that God had given Satan permission to touch me also. (We must rest knowing that the whole trial is under God's control and if we continue to believe, we will have what we say.) I knew it was all part of the purification/sanctification process and that God would see me through.

I went through some of the worst pain in my life. I cried to God that He had promised not to give me more than I could bare and I said, "Lord, I'm at the end of my rope. I can't take any more". Minutes after I said these words, I began to vomit and the pain of the obstruction began to recede. I praised and thanked Him. After this, they inserted an NG tube, sent me for X-rays and then told me I would be admitted in the hospital for a while. However, because they had no available beds, I was sent to an emergency holding room for people who have been admitted and are waiting for a room to become available. There were five beds in that holding room.

During the next three days, I saw the evidence of the broken Babylonish system and experienced firsthand its effect on people. I have had dozens of hospital stays in my life, but have never seen anything like I saw during these three days. I don't believe it is like this all the time; however, I believe God allowed me to see it all at one time for the purpose of the parable. (Hospitals themselves are parables of the Church, which is supposed to bring healing and comfort to the saints but ineptness and failure are common to both.) This is what I saw in this holding unit.

Staff: Nursing staff working 12 hour shifts, short-staffed, breaks delayed or non-existent at times due to circumstances. Grumpy, short-tempered with patients, even screaming at them. Making patients feel guilty that they even asked for help. Staff complaining to patients about working conditions and hospital politics. Not responding to patients' calls. Patients who were unable to shower by themselves were not even given a wet facecloth to refresh themselves during the whole time I was there. (The churches of man are like the hospitals of man, no cleansing of the water of the Word.)

Cleanliness: No changing of bedding, unless there was an accident or bad spill. No cleaning of floors, except for wiping them when there was a bad spill or accident. Dirty bathrooms: feces on the floor, toilet seat and even in the sink (where a patient with a colostomy would change his bag), waste baskets full and spilling onto the floor, dirty shower floor, dirty towels and gowns on the floor, unswept floors (the whole time I was there). It was the most unsanitary conditions I had ever seen. (Uncleanness in the Church causes the curse to run rampant.)

Food: Though it didn't affect me, since I was on IV fluids with potassium and until the day before I left I was on clear fluids. However, I did have my first solid food meal in that unit, which was not a soft diet, like it was supposed to be. It was my last meal in that unit before being transferred. Some patients received trays with very little because the kitchen had run out of food. Some received empty plates on a tray with tea, juice, crackers and Jell-O. (Often there is no food in the Church, even for babes, and often there is no solid food in the Church for those who wish to grow up. {Heb.5:14} But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. {Joh.4:34} Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. The meat is obeying God and doing His work.)

Then, after three days (after manifesting death, burial and resurrection life, we are ready for a promotion), on Tuesday night (August 6th), a nurse came to me and said I would be moving upstairs to a room. I praised God that I would be leaving this unit but felt sorry for the others who would remain in that ghetto. Within a few minutes, I was entering not a regular hospital room, but a luxurious room on the maternity ward (a place where fruit comes to fruition). The room was clean with white walls, large room (a place of holiness and freedom), large window looking onto the chapel (where I take some ladies from LTC and where the Gospel is being preached), a folding bed in a beautiful wooden cabinet. It had its own bathroom with shower, clean towels and two pillows. It was the most modern and luxurious hospital room I had ever been in. (A place fitting the saints in peace and comfort.) Across the room was a complimentary snack area (tea, coffee, juices, Ginger Ale, sandwiches, cheese, crackers, cookies, etc.). The nurses were friendly and kind. The nurse removed my IV and I went to take a shower.

After my shower, I got down on my knees and thanked God and prayed, asking Him to speak to me, to show me what all this meant. I prayed in the Spirit for some time and God revealed to me that I was living a parable and that what I had lived and was still living was what will happen shortly to His people. (The Man-child and five-fold ministries raised up by them will be the real hospital for the saints that is clean and fully furnished with the gifts of the spirit.) He reminded me that He would allow some of His people to go through some difficult times but that He would see them through that because He knows the end from the beginning, He knows what each one needs in order to go through the process of sanctification. {Heb.12:14} Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord. Father reminded me that I had asked Him to purify me, to make me holy and that this was all part of this process of sanctification. ({Act.14:22} Through many tribulations we must enter into the Kingdom of God.)

I asked for confirmation and this is what I received:

This is part of the parable: A daughter of God asked the Father to make her ready for what is coming, that she may have a pure heart and be ready to follow Him during the coming tribulation wherever He would lead her, even to the cross. In His love and mercy, He gave the enemy permission to try her in order to sanctify her, set her apart for the work He has chosen for her. During three days (of taking up her cross to death, burial and resurrection), He allowed her to see the depravity of man, the corrupted and broken system of Babylon, yet showed her that even through this broken down system, He would sustain her and would deliver her and protect her, if she trusted Him. When her time of trial was over, He brought her to a place of safety where she was well cared for, provided for, given freedom to pray and worship the Living God.

The Father revealed to me that a time is soon coming when His people will face incredible times of persecution, disasters, societal collapse, financial collapse, moral collapse worse than we have seen until now, and He wanted me to see firsthand that He can and will provide for His people who trust Him no matter what the situation is. All I saw was a very tiny fraction of the coming collapse.

I thought it was interesting that the place I was taken to spend my time until it was time to go home to be with my husband was a maternity ward. A place where a woman who has gone into labor goes, to await the delivery of her child. Her husband is usually with her as she goes through the final labor pains and he comforts her, reminding her that it will soon be over and that they will soon see the long-awaited child. (Union with our husband brings the fruit that looks like Him -- holy and powerful -- not strange children who bring forth a modern, false Jesus.) The woman is usually monitored by a nurse who will advise the doctor when the time comes for the child to be born. When the time has arrived for the woman to give birth, the woman and her husband are taken to the delivery room where the child will be born. After a while, the woman, her husband and newborn child return to the room and soon family and friends come and are introduced to the new child. Shortly after, the mother and father return to their home with the child where they will nurture and provide for all his needs.

I see this is a picture of the Man-child who is about to be born (in our individual lives as the fruit of Jesus). He will be born in privacy and after his birth will be introduced to God's family (His spiritual sons and daughters). I believe God was showing me through this that the Woman is about to go into labor. What an incredible time to be alive. Praise God!

When I got home from the hospital the next day and before I went to lie down to rest, I asked God to give me a confirmation of all I had been living and seeing while in the hospital. This is the Scripture that God showed me: {Neh.1:3} And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. (Death has come to the old order; life will come through the new.) {4} And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, {5} and said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments: {6} let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee. (God's ears are open to the repentant.) Yea, I and my father's house have sinned: {7} we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. {8} Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples (God is doing so now): {9} but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there. (Zion the Bride, where the temple of God's presence is.)

That first night home, I had a dream. (Early morning August 8th)

I dreamt I was in a large city shopping with one of my daughters (Christine), who is a believer, and my granddaughter, Beth (short for Elizabeth). It was daytime. We were in a large city and could not tell exactly where but felt we were not far from home. We were happily spending time together. My granddaughter kept saying she was cold. We did not feel cold. It was not winter; it might have been fall. I kept trying to put my sweater or something on her to keep her warm. She seemed to be in some kind of a small vehicle (maybe a stroller). (Coldness toward God and immaturity go together.) She is, in reality, almost 10 but was much younger in the dream.

All of a sudden, we felt something had just happened. Everyone it seemed was aware that something terribly bad had just taken place. Not sure if my daughter went to talk to someone on the phone or in person, but she said to me, "I just heard that this thing [we all knew it was a nuclear bomb] could be the end". I said to her, "You know, not everyone is going to die and those who do will not necessarily die at the same time. It will be a gradual thing". I was referring to the EMP effect". (An EMP would cause many to die over a period of time, just like the radiation effect.) Then, next thing we knew, we were being herded like cattle in these massive lines but my daughter and granddaughter were no longer with me. (They will separate the children for "better care" and indoctrination.)

I saw tables with people in uniforms sitting at them like they were processing people (like during the holocaust). One man who looked Mexican (brownish skin) and had a strong accent and a big moustache was sitting in a chair, feet on the table and stretching his arms. He said to me, "Put your pants down and walk". I put them down a bit, holding them up almost to the waist and started walking. He mocked me and said, "You think you're an actress or something [laughing]. Do it again". I realized that my walk was straight and confident and he did not like that. So I put my head down a bit and started walking slowly. I was trying to find out where they were from. I knew they were foreigners. I thought, maybe from Russia and maybe Mexico. A woman in uniform, who looked very harsh, gave me a dirty look and I knew it was better to keep quiet. She was sitting at one of the tables where they were processing people. For some reason, the words "Bayou Corne" came to mind in my dream. (An explosion starting a chain reaction?) During the entire dream I was not at all worried or fearful, for I knew God had everything under control. Then I woke up.

After I wrote down the dream and prayed and tried to understand what I had just seen in my dream, I asked God to give me a word about this dream and this is what He gave me: {Mic.4:1} But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. {2} And many nations (Gentiles) shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. (Great revival will come from great trouble and loss of prosperity but Zion will be a place of wisdom, safety and supply.) For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem; {3} and he will judge between many peoples (He will decide who will go through what), and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they (of Zion) shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. {4} But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it. {5} For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever.

{6} In that day, saith Jehovah, will I assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted; {7} and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever. {8} And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. {9} Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail (to bring forth the Man-child)? {10} Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field (wilderness of the world), and shalt come even unto Babylon: there shalt thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. {11} And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion. {12} But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor. {13} Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. (God in Zion will judge the world.)

I then asked for a second confirmation and this time I opened the Word to this passage: {Jer.19:1} Thus said Jehovah, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; {19:2} and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee; {19:3} and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place (apostate, unregenerate, Jerusalem leadership), which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. {19:4} Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents, {19:5} and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: (This represents those who raise up spiritual offspring to worship a false Jesus so that they are sacrificed to hell.)

{19:6} therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. {19:7} And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth. {19:8} And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. {19:9} And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall distress them. {19:10} Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, {19:11} and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury. (This was the place of burial for strangers and also the place for burning trash.)

{19:12} Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth: {19:13} and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. {19:14} Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people: {19:15} Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.

I thank God for allowing me to see what I saw and to see His hand at work in my life and time of trial. Praise His holy name. Thank you for praying for me. I am so grateful for the UBM ministry.
