The Exposing of the Bad Shepherds
Ezekiel 34 & 37
Updated from a while back….
The LORD revealed something to me. I don’t think for one moment I’m the only one hearing this, but this is the confirmation of what’s been brewing in me for several days.
Yet He brought it back as it’s more applicable today than way back when . . .
The LORD is saying that NOW is that Ezekiel 34 moment — the exposing of the bad shepherds.
Those who have led their flock through the wide, easy gate; who have omitted so much from The Gospel and from the Salvation experience.
Those who have suppressed and grieved The Holy Spirit, forcing Him to be more a spectator than contributor in their services.
Those who, in Ezekiel’s own words, have grown fat without feeding the flock, or who have denied healing to the sick, succour to the poor, and justice to widows and orphans.
The LORD is exposing and deposing such shepherds.
“They shall fall!” says The LORD, “because they dishonour My Name and My People!
They follow their own sinful path while destroying those in the flock who do the same thing!
Hypocrites! They do not preach either My Gospel nor My Salvation. Rather, they lead My People astray and then cast them aside in favour of their own evil schemes!” says The LORD.
Then The LORD showed me a wonderful Ezekiel 37 moment of prophesying to the bones then prophesying to the breath.
Once again, He showed me the Valley of Dry Bones — the bones coming together.
He told me to prophesy over these bones and, as I did so, The LORD showed me The Remnant Army of The LORD here on earth, the end-time Church, coming together in unity once again.
As I watched them, The LORD commanded me to prophesy to the breath, as in Ezekiel 37, “Command the breath, their voice, to return!”
As I did so, I heard the sound of a roar coming from the resurrected remnant army — a roar of real authority and of the power of The LORD.
Having watched the shepherds exposed and the dry bones resurrected, The LORD spoke once again.
“I will shake My Church first to expose the bad and to then build up the good.
It is the separation of the wheat and tares, and the beginning of judgement, for does My Word not say that judgement shall begin with My Church?”
As I thought about this, The LORD continued, “I shall breathe new life into My Church, My People!
My Church, My Bride, shall return to My Gospel — including Faith, Repentance, Salvation, and Discipling — followed by the restoration of all the gifts of My Spirit.
Then Faith, Love, Signs and Wonders shall be the true hallmark of My People.”
I felt The LORD had finished speaking, but He gave me a final question for all of us — “When pastors start to fall, who will shepherd their flock?”
“In this coming season, ‘all that can be shaken’ includes pastors being exposed and falling. Who will shepherd the flock then?”
I heard the Words, “The House Church movement has to, and will, return just like the first church, 2000 years ago!”
There is a hunger for this — yet a rejection of the ‘Church as usual’ mentality that pervades The Body today.
It’s the days of Personal Church meetings — Small Groups gathering for fellowship, often a meal, a time of teaching and discipling, with occasional larger group meetings when we all get together in celebration.
I see much joy, great faith building, and miracles being the order of the day — every day!
And evangelism will be rampant — Church will be a lifestyle, no longer a social scene, but our way of life IN JESUS!
HALLELUJAH !

He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
I pray this happens quickly. I have been sensing this is coming. It has started to a small extent but the cleansing must come. So many people are deceived and are lost in what is known as “church”. It is a den of theives, liars, perverts and power hungry men and women. Church was never meant to be what man has turned it into.
Bro. Chris-
Yes, you’re right, many of us are hearing the same thing. I had just posted a comment to Sis. Joyce, similar. The Lord is shaking it all up.
And oh – I’m so glad you mentioned “the House churches”. The Lord has been speaking that to me for a while. In fact, I was led to have a prayer shed built on my property – its in the works. Pantry. Overflow. Stocking up on small bibles to hand out. I’m feeling also to re-organize, re-purpose things inside & outside my home – for the days ahead.
I had no intention of doing this for years – yet in the last few months – I’m compelled to do so. It’s just another confirmation. Blessings
Thank you brother Chris for this wonderful Word from the LORD. I can see this as well of what you said:
“I see much joy, great faith building, and miracles being the order of the day — every day!”
Praise the LORD!
God bless you!
