INTERPRETATION: The skull&bones curtains represent curses or other evil worked against that church, which is your local church, collectively.

When you tore down the curtains, this is intercession. This is akin to tearing down the gates of the enemy. As the curtains are removed, the light (Light of Christ) can now enter more clearly. Once the Light is again free to move, unrestrained (don’t restrain the Holy Spirit), people begin to return to the empty church.

You left without letting anyone see what you’d done... not to avoid accusations, but to avoid credit. You wanted God to be glorified, not you. this is the right heart of a Christian. I believe God support such obedient and humble brethren more powerfully when they pray.

If you have already been interceding, this is a dream of encouragement, showing you there will be fruit.

If not, this dream is calling you to prayer and stand in the gap.

Peace.

I just wrote a comment yesterday in a thread about this very topic. Davis Pawson told a story about a church that cleaned up their sanctuary and removed whitewash from the wall on the side of the church.

There was a fresco beneath the whitewash. It was a painting of all the pews, filled with people. But, sitting next to each person was a little demon holding the person’s mouth shut.

I shared a story about an “art curse” I’d seen in a dream (around 1994-1996). Later, in 1998, I met one of the people in the dream, who told me the story, which I recognized as the dream I’d received.

Essentially, the satanic symbols and other art, large or small, creates a right for a demon to be in the room that is marked.

When I think about this, I always think of the scripture which says that, as you build a house, you should scriptures on the timbers, and of the Orthodox Jews who put a mezuzah on the main entrance door jamb.

Some may not know this, but even in the fact that many churches now serve starbucks coffee and products, selling them to support their ministries, a couple years ago, I learned that the original starbucks logo, is a much more cleaned up version of a totally naked twin tailed mermaide which is holding her tails apart to expose her private parts, inviting all to have sex with her. In addition, around that time, I also learned that the CEO of starbucks had come out publicly stating, "if you believe in traditional marriage, we don't want your business". Friends...we have got to stop drinking "of the wine of her adulteries". The whore of Babylon has become increasingly evident and easy to spot. Aborted baby parts are being sold, and used in the developement of vaccines and other medicines (one of the two currently used rabies vaccines contains aborted human fetal tissue), and some companies are using the organs of aborted babies in some kind of process to produce flavor inhancers and artificial food flavorings!!! Also...the many do not know...but the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, was designed by a free mason who was seeking a vision of the pagan fertility goddess Isis, so the "Liberty" offered by this country, is the liberty to live sexually promiscous and have not not be a problem...and if you get prenant...just abort your baby!!! Lord have mercy on our Nation in Yeshua's wonderfully beautiful and all powerful name!!!

Loveth, I am sorry for giving so many replies here, but the Lord has been having me write on this subject weekly or nearly daily for the past 12 years, and this is so critical. Someone from another site asked me to elaborate on what I was sharing, so this is what I shared with him:

The church in the USA, though not the entire church, beginning in the 1950s, I believe it was, made the decision to incorporate (as a non-profit organization) under the federal government of the USA via the 501c3 tax exempt status. They didn't have to do that, because they were already tax exempt, and the IRS even states that on their site. 

Yet, they were convinced by those high up that this would be to their benefit. But, by doing so they partnered with the ungodly, which the Bible strictly forbids, which means they also partnered (became unequally yoked together) with the world. So, the church under the 501c3 is essentially a state church, a government church. And, our government in the USA is under the authority of the Elite (wealthy and powerful) of the world, i.e. the All-seeing Eye of Horus which hovers over the unfinished pyramid on our national seal, which is the beast (of Revelation) and which serves Satan.

Also, they turned the church, the body of Christ, into a business, i.e. they turned God's house into a marketplace, which God also forbids, so we are going to see another "cleansing of the temple," I believe, sometime in the near future, which is talked about in Revelation 18. 

Ok, so about the campaign. If you listen to our leaders in government, and the pope, and many preachers, you will hear them talk about how we all need to unify as the people of the world, and how we need to rid ourselves of all which divides us as the people of the world (out with the old order, in with the new) so that we can all be of one mind, one heart, with one voice. Obama and the Pope were majorly pushing this during Obama's presidency, and now the Pope is coming out strongly with this message again while Trump now is singing the same song. This is about breaking down the old order of Christian faith so that we, the people of the world, can unite as one in harmony with one another.

So, within the church (institutional) itself, what I have personally observed over the past 20 years, in particular, is little by little the truth of the gospel has been removed from the gospel message in order to make it more acceptable and appealing to the people of the world, and this is just preparing the way for this one-world religion that is soon to be upon us. For, they began softening the message of the gospel, removing words such as "sin," "repentance" and "obedience," and reducing faith to a mere acknowledgment of Jesus Christ and a mere acceptance of his forgiveness of their sins, but excluding the need to repent of sin or to obey Jesus Christ.

By doing this they have paved the way for this all-inclusive one-world faith, because their belief in Jesus really results in nothing much different from those who believe in any other god, for now the message of the gospel is so diluted that all it is now is service projects and good deeds (missional). It is reduced to merely being nice to people and doing things with them and for them and hanging out with people so they know they are accepted, and it is taught that is the gospel, and that teaching repentance and obedience is works-based salvation and that all that does is make people uncomfortable, so it is to be avoided.

But, it is only through death to sin and living to righteousness, by God's grace, because of Jesus' sacrifice for our sins, and in the power of the Spirit living within us that any of us can be saved from our sins, i.e. delivered from our bondage to sin so that we can live holy lives pleasing to God (See: Lu. 9:23-25; Rom. 6:1-23; Rom. 8:1-17; 1 Jn. 1:5-9).

And, yes, we are already there where God is calling out to his true church to "come out from among her" for her sins are piled high to heaven, and so we don't share in her punishment, i.e. this is speaking of coming out of these institutional churches in partnership with the world/government, and to be the church like in the book of Acts which is under the authority of Christ, being led by the Holy Spirit, rather than being under the authority of the government and being led by marketing books.

Prayerfully consider that you dream may be related to this:

Revelation 18:

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. 3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; 5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. 7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.’ 8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,

“Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.”

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

14 “The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost to you, never to be found again!”

15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”

And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,

“What city was like the great city?”

19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been laid waste. 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!”

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more; 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more, 23 and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth.”

The Lord Jesus had me write about this subject again this morning. He has been having me write about it consistently for the past 12 years. I never really understood all of this before the Lord began to open my eyes. But, what we commonly refer to as "church," at least here in the USA, is not the true church of God, but it is of Satan. It is an institution of human-making, in partnership with the world and with an evil (of Satan) government, and whose mission is to destroy the true church and the gospel of our salvation.

Here is what the Lord had me write on this subject this morning: https://runwithit.blog/2019/02/09/the-church-in-god/

Wow! I had a very similar dream about the church on the same day you had your dream. I just now posted it here: https://latterrain333.wixsite.com/lifeline/forum/your-dream-forum/invaded-by-foreigners

WOW! Spirit of The Lord grant us discernment wherever we attend fellowship. May that place be of Your Spirit Father God!

Grant us sight to see dear LORD the unclean. Help us to not only recognize it but grant us Your strength to tare down and rip out every demonic idol not only in our churches but in our own temples as well, by Your Spirit and in The Name of Your son Jesus.

May no evil thing prosper in our presence. May every enemy flee before us. Spirit of The Living God fill us this day and continue to fill us with Your Living Waters and Your Fire 🔥in Jesus name
