It is quite unusual for me to feel a message laid on my heart like the one that I woke up hearing this morning. Let me share it as I heard it, then with the Lord’s help, I will explain it a little deeper.
The fire IS coming. The fire will have one of three purposes and results. There will be the Fire of Judgement, the Fire of Refining, and finally the Fire of Revival. Every man, woman and child WILL be impacted by this fire in one way or another. Which fire are you going to be in?
I truly believe that the messengers of Heaven have been assembled; I see them like soldiers standing at the ready like a great army in rank and file on a great parade ground before the Almighty. Each arrayed with the weapons of war. They are fully attired with Heavenly armor, sword on their hip or back, shield in one hand and a torch with fire lit from the eternal flame of the Heavenly altar. All they are waiting for is one simple word to come from the mouth of the Almighty, “GO.” In that moment, in the blink of an eye they will come to the Earth and touch the lives and hearts of every living human with fire from the torch in their righteous right hand. The Fire is the pure, holy and powerful nature and presence of the Almighty. How His fire impacts each one will depend on their relationship with Him and how they are walking it out.
The Fire of Judgment – Those who are far from Him, have rebelled, and have refused to hear and answer the call of repentance will face the ultimate judgement, Many will lose their lives, many others will wish they had, but their lives will be spared giving them a second chance to repent.
The Fire of Refining – Those who have known God and have fallen away into the traps and deception of this world yet their hearts remain pure, soft and open will be refined by the fire like silver and gold. Everything that is not of the Lord will be burned up like the wood, hay and stubble – this the obvious sin that they and everyone else know about. Yet, the fire does not stop there, it will also burn up all the dross and every other impurity which is the hidden, secret and unrepented sin that no one else knows about. Like those affected by the Fire of Judgement, these too will find much of what they held as precious will suddenly be gone, yet their lives will be saved.
Fire of Revival – Finally for a precious few, a remnant, those who have been found to have clean hands and a pure heart, those who have truly offered their hearts and lives as a living and poured out sacrifice of love for the Lord and in service to others; those will receive the fresh fire of the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by signs and wonders, including but not limited to the healing of the sick, the deaf will hear, the blind will see, the dead will be raised, Words of Wisdom and Words of Prophecy and Words of Knowledge. They will share the Gospel with boldness and power beyond their own natural abilities and a multitude will be saved as with the swinging of a giant sickle.
My dear friends, brothers and sisters, it is with a humble and sincere heart, I can not more urgently urge you to stop whatever else you are doing and RIGHT NOW in THIS moment take inventory of your own life –
- Where are you in your relationship with the Lord?
- Does your life look like everyone else’s around you or is it different?
- Do your interactions with others reflect His love?
- Do you have hidden/secret or unrepented sin?
If so, ask forgiveness and repent NOW. Ask Him to search your heart and to reveal anything else that would keep you from receiving the fullness of the Fire of Revival.
THE FIRE IS COMING!
Which one are you going to be in?
