Back in the 1990s, Rick Joyner had a series of immersive visions that he wrote down and published in a small book called The Final Quest. A few years later, he added two more volumes - one of related visions since The Final Quest, and the other of earlier visions that he realized were also related. The end result was called The Final Quest Trilogy.
Rick makes clear in his introductions to each volume, that the purpose of prophetic visions is not to make doctrine. Scripture is the basis of doctrine, which is not added to by later revelations. However, one purpose of prophecies is to shed light on how God is at work in the times we are in - and this is what he believes the visions of The Final Quest Trilogy are for.
This should be a great encouragement to us at CTR, because the importance of unity is a major theme throughout the three books! There are pictures of the divided church that are very helpful, and also wisdom for how to (and how not to) respond to division. Here are three examples, which will hopefully entice you to read the whole book - which everyone who reads it, is deeply impacted by!
Wisdom (Jesus) speaking:
“My justice does not take sides in human conflicts, even those involving My people … even the greatest saints of the church age have only aligned themselves with My ways a small portion of the time, or with a small part of their minds and hearts. I am not for them or against their enemies, but I am coming to use My people to save their enemies … At this time, even My greatest leaders are seldom in harmony with Me. Many are doing good works, but few are doing what I have called them to do. This is largely the result of divisions among you. I am not coming to take sides with any one group, but I am calling for those who will come over to My side.A description of one scene of the vision, with Wisdom (Jesus) explaining:
There was a river in the middle [of the valley] that was fed by streams from every mountain around it. The water sparkled with a blue tint that was the bluest tint I had ever seen and beautifully matched the sky. … “My dwelling places will only be found where all of My streams flow together as one. My builders will come from every stream, but they will work as one.”A young girl of 10-12 speaking:
“It is better to have a few who are in unity than many who are divided, who do not have a single, focused vision. Many of those who were with us before seldom drank from the stream, and I hardly ever heard them pray. I felt they would not last long, and I was right. Such people are more of a detriment when the battle begins.”
