The Dark Waters in the Church

August 20, 2026

Let’s talk about it. On August 3, 2026, I had the most disturbing dream I think I have ever had, which I perceive was from the Lord. I felt uneasy sharing it at first for many reasons, but I received confirmation again this past Sunday when our family was on vacation in the sunny state of Florida. There is no denying that we are living in the end times. We see so many of the signs… too many to list them all out here. But there was one sign that the Lord highlighted to me in this dream.

In Matthew and Luke, we are told that when Jesus is revealed and returns, it will be like in the days of Noah before the judgment on the earth. In Jude, we are told that the days will be like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah—a body filled with haughtiness and sexual perversion. We have seen news reports and social media reports of church leaders involved in sexual immorality and hear of sexual “misconduct” being swept under the rug in many cases. But the Lord showed me that sexual perversion in the church is much more prevalent and pervasive than I had ever imagined.

It is affecting a generation. It is infecting our leaders, our parent helpers, and perhaps mostly infecting our children. Sexual perversion in the church has caused a generation to fear walking into the presence of God in His living waters. This is the work of Satan, and it starts with YOU.

First, I will share the dream: I was at a summer camp. It was nighttime. The children’s ages were elementary ages—ages 5 to about 11. It was a Christian camp. The children were all gathered around the lake. A couple of children were floating on an inflatable raft. The water was black.

They were all afraid of going into the water. I thought, “I’m not afraid. I will show them there is nothing to fear.” I got right into the water and started swimming around. The kids along the banks of the lake started screaming in fear for me that the shark would come and attack me. I told them it would not harm me. They were all in a panic. I then realized that in order to calm them down to hear me, I would need to exit the water and climb onto the raft.

Just then, a giant, creamy white-colored whale came below my feet and raised me up in the water to the same level as the inflatable raft so I could easily climb on. The children then settled down. The scene then shifted.

Now I was in an area like a parking lot (or blacktopped area). There was a very young boy there with his father. They were in identical outfits. They both had on light pink t-shirts and green shorts. They seemed to have a loving relationship and be playing with each other, but what I saw next made my stomach turn.

The boy of about 5 years positioned himself on the ground face down and raised his buttocks in the air. He told his dad he was ready. And well… his dad came over top of him. They were fully clothed, but I felt like I would get sick. I turned to my left and saw two lines of children facing one another with another church leader at the head of the two lines of children. I went to observe what they were doing. A child would walk between the two lines and then fall backward to be caught by the camp leader.

I watched a couple of rounds of this from a bit of a distance before walking closer. Then I saw a girl with shoulder-length brown hair walking down the middle. She was probably no older than 9 or maybe 11, but starting to physically mature at a younger age. She had a big smile on her face as she walked down the center aisle, turned around, and flung her body straight backward to be caught by the male camp leader.

She hit her head on the blacktop, though the young adult man mostly caught her and then allowed his hands to move over her chest while helping her up. I heard this man’s thoughts and intent. I was horrified. The dream ended.

I say that this starts with YOU for a few reasons. Please hear me! What you watch, what you do, and what you allow to enter your home, your eyes, and your ears affects you, your family, and your children in so many ways. Wake up!! You cannot dabble in a little bit of sexual sin without consequences.

You cannot engage in watching pornography without it affecting you and your children! You cannot entertain sexual imagination without it affecting you and your family. It does NOT work that way. James 4:7 reminds us, “Therefore submit to God resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (NKJV). You may need to do this a hundred times or more, but these invasive thoughts WILL flee if you do not give them any room. They will continue if you allow them at all. Shut them down. It is time to clean the church.

It is time to clean the body of Christ and prepare the way for Jesus’s return. He is coming for a spotless bride.

Let’s pray for the church. Let’s pray that we repent for our sins. He sees ALL, He knows ALL, and He still loves you and invites you to come before Him. Let’s pray that the Lord sanctifies each and every one of us, in Jesus’s most holy name. Let’s ask the Lord to make us more like Him—to love more like Him, to live more like Him, to reach out to His children more like Him, and to reach out to those still swimming in darkness more like Him.

Jesus came for ALL mankind. He came for sinners. He is the Redeemer. He is the giver of life. He IS the living waters.

Be blessed this day and remember to be in His loving Word every day. Repent.
