I had a dream from the Lord about housechurch. Here’s what happened in the dream. I was coming out of a big church room where we were having a great assembly of kids like a huge sunday school or children’s church. As I was walking out the double doors, a pretty young girl looked over and walked to me. (she had also been a speaker with the kids) She said with remorse or dejectedly…”.It’s easy to see they respond better to you….you’re so beautiful!" I laughed at that—thinking--- ‘what?’ I’m old….I have all these wrinkles, she must be mocking….but she wasn’t mocking me…. she perceived that I was beautiful. She handed me with force-- a beautiful black carton of eggs. It was unlike any other egg carton I had ever seen….with two artistic hens painted on the lid. As she walked away—I opened the carton carefully to discover that some eggs were gone but there were nine cracked/ broken ones left I went directly to the church kitchen to look for a bowl to save them. But the kitchen was occupied by food service people (like a food truck-- only it came to their kitchen –like they leased it from the church in order to serve favorite kinds of fast food—it was trendy) I felt an urgency but had to wait in line to ask for a bowl. The kitchen food service people were nice but could only offer a big wide plastic cup to which they had added water to about 1/3 of the container. I tried to lift the eggs out of their carton and into the plastic cup…. I didn’t have what it took…..I needed a bigger cup….I drained out the water (thinking why did they add this?) drained it as best I could but still I wanted a bowl & strainer for the shells. The eggs could be saved---they could still be used to nourish—so I took them home---It was obvious I couldn’t do it here. Then I woke up.Here’s what I think it means. The eggs represent the word of God….the three in one….the whole counsel of God. The beautiful black carton is a reference to a bible cover….which protects the pages of the Word. There were two hens on the carton….one black with white spots and the other all white….(maybe 2 kinds of teachers? The white one was common the spotted one was prettier) The pretty young girl was careless with the Word and mistreated it…..then handed off what was left. I knew it could still nourish---- could still do what it was intended to do…..but no longer in this environment. It had to be carried home soon and carefully used there. She had seen how the children respond to the Word when taught through someone who loves the Word. (what the anointing does----no matter what the person looks like on the outside—souls will respond to the truth & goodness of the Word). but she quickly forfeited the Word –giving it away. ---maybe jealousy of the anointing?The fast food service was occupying the kitchen once used-- to prepare good food---now only fast food and watered down. ‘fast food’--- much less nourishing--prepared and eaten in haste---not savored.These are again times for house church-- for those who find the Word a precious treasure and of great value. Every house has a strainer and a bowl the right size to use---without water added. Just think –the Lord may want to use your house--- and your strainer & bowl for his glory. Selah — Lynn Bartelmay
