Denise's dream,
There was a large suspension bridge with three arches. The arches represented the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There were also many smaller bridges, which were ministries and spiritual leaders. These bridges were disconnected and chaotic. The bridges began to unite together in the larger bridge.
A suspension bridge is the strongest bridge design known. They can span a distance of 7,000 feet. The strength of the bridge is due to the cables being anchored in bedrock. The pillars that uplift the cables are also planted on bedrock. God is preparing the Church to reach further than we have before and to carry the weight of a great harvest like never before, but first we must be firmly planted on the Rock.
There are many ministries doing their own thing. They fail to bridge the world to God, and they actually bring more confusion to people who are looking for God. Until we come together as one on Christ we will not reach the world for the gospel well. God is calling His people to begin to build their lives and ministries on Christ. Christ will become the true unifying factor for the Church and the only one who can sustain the move of God that will come. In the same way that the strength of a suspension bridge is not in the bridge itself, but in the rock, so we must learn to anchor in Christ. The works of man will not hold God's Kingdom.
God is not looking for individuals and independent ministries, but team leadership. Congregations will begin to work together. Suspension bridges were originally made with chains rather than cables. If one link of a chain is weak it will be the weakness of the whole chain. One bridge was completely damaged when just one chain broke. Cables will remain strong even when many of the individual strands are weak. God is moving His people from chains of command to three fold and five fold chords of ministries working together for the kingdom.
