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)
