The scene, I was on stage and in front of me was a person (representing the body of Christ) who had his shirt off, sitting bent forward on a chair facing away from me. I was pointing out the spots on this person's back, explaining what they were to those in the audience. There were three main spots along and on the back bone of this body. They were about three to four inches in diameter. The rest of the smaller spots seemed to be outside of this area that went down the center of the back. The spots that were of the smaller size were about one inch in diameter but all of the spots were fairly thick, like they had substance, they had depth to them. All of these spots had a design. They looked like doilies or snow flakes.

    I meditated on these strange designs in the spots that seemed a little ridiculous to me. I said, "Lord, what are they?" He said, "They are patterns." That didn't help my understanding much at the time, but I knew He had told me this for a purpose. God had started to give me understanding of the original truth He had shown me. The spots are patterns, ways of doing things. Down through the years the Lord revealed what the individual spots are, through "things of the Spirit," here a little, there a little, until I came to understand what they are.
    The three big spots are life-threatening, represented by being on the backbone, which is the foundation of the body. "These are foundational spots and have to do with foundational beliefs and practices of the churches!" They represent the wrong patterns or un-right, unrighteous ways of doing things, all produced by false doctrines and traditions of men.
    The spot at the base of the spine has to do with "The Mechanics (Pattern) of How the Holy Spirit Teaches." This spot is at the bottom because it is the reason the other two spots exist in the churches today! This will become more evident to you as you read about the other spots and The Lord's Picture of the Harlot, etc.
    The spot over the heart has to do with The Mechanics of Salvation. This is at the heart of the matter, salvation unto eternal life. As you read through the salvation articles you will see, time and time again through the "things of the Spirit," God was constantly pulling me towards and revealing not only the truth of that original vision but also the seriousness of this particular spot. There were a lot more "things of the Spirit" given than I have written about but they all point toward the same truth.
    The third spot is The Mechanics of Tithing - God's Righteousness through the body of Christ. The spotless body of Christ will handle God's treasury in righteousness for Him, not the church!
    On this site I talk about harlotry. The Lord first taught me what the three spots are, and then He spoke directly to me concerning the harlot church and took me through scripture. Because I already understood the three spots, I could then understand and receive the truth of who the harlot really is and why He spoke about the harlot church the way He did in scripture.
    Many pastors are aware that the church is spotted and know it must become unspotted. They will talk about this openly, but if anyone suggests their church is a harlot they are offended. The truth of the matter is, if we get rid of the spots we have also gotten rid of the acts of harlotry. If we get rid of the acts of harlotry we have gotten rid of the spots. God just paints different pictures of the same problems in order for us to understand. The best thing to do is to watch the whole presentation movie but if you are a reader you can get a good picture from reading.
