The
Coming Visitation Of Fire —Elijah calling down
fire from Heaven was a fore–shadow of what God is getting ready to do
in this generation. And it shall fall first upon the sons and
daughters of God. It shall move across the face of the earth like
an explosion, like a firestorm, and there shall be a quickening in the
bones of the sleeping army of God. They shall be transformed, and the
fire of the Lord shall consume their old nature, and within them a new
nature shall be birthed. A nature of fire. Their spirits
shall be ignited by the consuming presence of God. And they shall
be pushed and drawn forward, with the spirit of Joshua, compelled to
keep moving ahead, breaking through every stronghold and fortress of the
enemy until they reach their mark.
And in the beginnings of this firestorm the world shall lie asleep,
unaware of what is transpiring within the sons and daughters of God.
And there shall be a calm across the face of the earth, for the children
of this world cannot perceive nor recognize the violent earthquakes and
shakings which will explode within the children of God, and darkness
shall increase. But within the Saints of God light shall increase.
And after a season, in the midst of this calm, another eruption shall
arise, more violent than has ever been since time began. And
nothing shall be untouched or unshaken by it, and every mountain shall
be made low, and every valley shall be lifted up, to prepare the way for
the coming of the Lord and His Kingdom in the earth. And those who
have been purified through the first fire shall not be shaken.
They shall walk through the rivers, and not be drowned. They will
walk through the fires, and shall not be burned.
But before this great shaking, God shall visit His people. And
this Gospel shall be preached in every nation, every island, to every
race, tongue and hidden tribe within the most desolate of regions.
And it shall be a quick work, for the Spirit of God will raise up a
remnant of people, an army, which shall be filled with the Spirit of
might and power, the Spirit of Elijah, and the sword of Joshua,
and they shall accomplish what past generations have only attempted to
accomplish. They shall not be stopped by walls of language
differences, political borders, geographical barriers, fro even though a
1,000 miles of jungle or rain forest separate a tribe from hearing the
good news of Jesus Christ, this barrier shall be crossed in one second.
As Philip the evangelist crossed the desert by the wind of God’s
Spirit, so shall God’s evangelistic messengers do the same before the
Great Day of the Lord. For this is the cry of God’s Spirit, to
seek out and save the lost. Philip represented God’s heart for
evangelism, and is a foreshadow of what is yet to be released in this
generation. Yet these gifts can only come through the fire.
Do not seek the gifts, seek the Giver. Do not look for greatness, look
for the cross which God has laid before you. The
mightiest officers in this army will be those who are unseen.
And those who have done the greatest exploits, men shall look for
them but they shall vanish before anyone knows their name. The
greatest signs and wonders will occur in the most unlikely of times and
circumstances, in a way that could only bring glory to God. The
most powerful leaders and directors in this army will be those who are
directing behind the scenes, interceding and travailing and giving birth
in the Spirit, releasing God’s Kingdom, power and dominion in the
earth. And the Lord shall release many gifts in men which have
been dormant for generations because of unbelief and fear. The
gift that Philip demonstrated in the desert is only one of many which
shall be released upon the army of the Lord in this last great
outpouring of God’s Spirit. And during the beginning of this
outpouring God shall begin to bring judgment and accountability into
those who would speak against or judge what His Spirit is doing in the
earth. May those who would teach against or verbally oppose the
Spirit of God be forewarned, for when you speak against His gifts, you
speak against His Spirit. And during this great outpouring, those
who judge God’s Spirit will be judged themselves.
And from this mighty move of God you shall be able to distinguish the
true gifts from the false by their fruits. For every true
gift a false shall arise, by which the enemy will try to
discredit the genuine, and counterfeits shall flourish
working great signs and miracles. And there shall be many false
prophets and apostles who are wolves in sheep’s clothing, having
the appearance of righteousness, but who have no true
relationship with our Christ. For
their Christ is another Christ,
and their kingdom is another kingdom.
The fruit of their gifts draws attention to themselves, but the fruit of
God’s Spirit is humility and is recognized by the salvation of souls,
the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the equipping of the
Saints, and the advancement of God’s Kingdom in the earth.
And these gifts will manifest as God’s fire storm sweeps, over the
earth, as God’s people are purified and quickened by the calling forth
and commissioning of God’s Spirit. And those who elect to be
lukewarm will have no place in the Lord’s army during this period.
Those who place material things or wealth over the calling of God will
lose their wealth in one day, and will only observe with their eyes the
anointing, protection, provision and exploits of the Lord’s army, but
will not experience it for themselves, and during the great tribulation
many of these who are lukewarm will be spewed out of the Lord’s mouth
into premature death or martyrdom, never accomplishing God’s calling
or purpose on their life in the earth. But those who are called to
martyrdom within the ranks of the Lord’s army, death shall not catch
them unaware. And they shall give their lives willingly only after
they have run their race and finished the good fight of faith and
completed their mission. Then many shall choose not to remain in
the earth but will trade their earthen vessels for a new, glorious,
heavenly vessel, and will be drawn and compelled forward by the great
cloud of witnesses cheering them homeward into glory. Yet, until
their task and commission is completed, the enemy shall have no power
over those who have been baptized through the fire of God, and they
shall go forth into the dark places of the earth, into the dungeons and
prisons, into the desolate and forgotten places and shall be messengers
of light and herald of God’s Kingdom to the lost. And though the
enemy may plant traps for them at every corner, the Lord shall snatch
them away from every snare and defend them with signs, and their enemies
shall be confounded.
