CODE RED! Prepare for a Corporate BAPTISM OF FIRE

CODE RED! Be on the alert! Prepare for the fires of His passion and zeal. Prepare for a sovereign work as He takes us through a crucible of His fiery presence. For there is coming a corporate Baptism of Fire as He burns up His enemies and judges those who have stood against Him.

The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts. (Proverbs 17:3)

These fires are not unto our destruction, but unto our consecration. Do not fear the flames, but embrace the fire of His presence. He will be as a wall of fire around us and the Glory in our midst (Zechariah 2:5). Immerse yourself in His presence and hold your ground. Though many may fall, those who stand faithful and true will remain.

The angels of His presence go before Him to prepare the way. Do not give in to fear but fix your gaze on Him and He will bring us through. Though we may feel the sting, the fire of His presence will purify and empower us. We will come forth as gold; vessels of glory and honor.

When you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. (Isaiah 43:2-3)

These fires will emerge from the whirlwind of His presence (Isaiah 66:15, Nahum 1:3). It is out of the whirlwind that He will speak and He will act (Job 40:6). Watch for the whirlwinds as they will be signs of His dealings.

Many have known and experienced the Baptism of His Spirit, but this Baptism of Fire will yield even greater manifestations of His Kingdom authority on the earth (Matthew 3:11-12). All that has hindered and delayed His advance will be removed. All who have stood in the way and defied His commands will know their end.

Do not concern yourself with timetables or timelines. Merely yield to heaven’s work in this hour. It is unto the knowledge of His glory that the fires must burn and His people must pass through.

For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. (Psalms 66:10-12)

    PURSUING HIS PRESENCE MORE THAN HIS PROPHETS

    Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.

    SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

    The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.

    THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

    I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

    A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

    This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.

    PERCEPTIONS ARE BEING TWISTED

    Due to what is at stake in these current scandals and controversies, this demonic twisting spirit is operating at full power. The enemy is inserting himself into these situations to cause perceptions and perspectives to be skewed and void of integrity. Regardless of what “side” you are on, I guarantee the enemy is at work. Statements are being made to mean one thing and they are being received as something different. Unless we are aware of this, we will make assumptions and determine a meaning that is only half true.

    Struggling Together in Prayer

    I was in the restroom touching up my makeup before speaking to several hundred women. When I looked in the mirror, thoughts began swirling in my mind. What am I doing here? What do I possibly have to say to these women that could make any difference in their lives? I am not capable of walking to that podium tonight. Read more...
