The Broken Candleholder
(by Rene V. Parault)

What a title you might say. We have been seeing the prophetic move in different ways, and one of the ways is the prophetic sign. Yes, a sign or demonstration will take place with symbolic meanings in the prophetic, just as God did many times in the Old Testament through His prophets.

As we flew into Miami recently for ministry, we were in a lovely home with our friends of many years, and also sisters in the Lord. We knew nothing in the natural, but the Lord was already making the way in the spiritual realm for the upcoming three nights of ministry.

As we sat around the dinner table, I began to prophesy of the church here on this earth, that was about to come forth, a virgin church, and church holy and lovely in the eyes of God, not full of gossip, bitterness, resentment, jealously, but a church birthed in this season of time to be the picture of the glory of God here on earth. It was such a precious moment as the Lord was speaking.

The lady of the house then moved her arm across the table to move one of the two lovely candleholders that stood on the table, out of the way. They were exquisite, made of crystal and very large and tall, and also very expensive, and very old. The one candleholder fell quickly and broke. It was non-reparable “could not be put back together again. There was a silence, and then the Lord spoke. He said, “Just as you see the two candleholders, both were the same, lovely and precious; but one broke and could never be used again as it had been used in the past. So it is with my ministers, so high in the heavenly realm, having a great position, but one can fall and loose their place never to return to that place again. How could one fall? By believing a lie that was deceiving them, and by believing that lie, they can fall, as the candleholder fell, and fall quickly. The Lord was saying we are in such a time of great deception, and that many are being deceived in this day.” Their deception comes usually from pride. And with pride then comes blindness. The other candleholder remained standing, ready to do what she was intended to do, to continue to hold the candle of light and to be admired for her beauty.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Pro 16:18

Rev. 12:4, “And his (dragon) tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:” …stars here depicting ministers. Look at

Rev. 1:19, “the seven stars are the angels (ministers) of the seven churches”…
