Plumb Line

Early one day, I kept hearing the words plumb line in my mind and spirit. Later that day during a powerful worship meeting led by Brian and Heather May, the Lord revealed the fullness of the message to me. Following is what I received.


In Amos 7:8, the Lord says that He will set a plumb line among the people. A plumb is a small, heavy object, that when attached to a string, is a tool used to determine whether something (such as a wall) is perfectly vertical.  In scripture, a plumb line is a symbolic standard, against which, God will measure, test, and judge us.

In a busy world of people focused on many things including love, money, success, and social media, the spiritual plumb line may go unnoticed like the following one I saw in a vision during the meeting.

In the next verse of Amos 7, the Lord says that the high places will be destroyed. Now is the time to decide which side of the plumb line you will choose. Will you be found above it or beneath it?

I’ve always heard the scripture about the way to life being narrow (Matthew 7:14), but the Lord showed me a new dimension of it. The narrow way is a life lived in reverence to the Lord, below the plumb line.
