THE REFINER’S FIRE IS EXPOSING SINS OF THE HEART, MAKING WAY FOR HIS GLORY

    4 Responses

    1. Halo sister Wanda.
      Your comment and prophetic admonition is very clear: “we have missed the Mark Of Holiness”.
      Thank you for your motherly warning not to fall pray to the momentary, seemingly, pleasure of the ” lust of the
      flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life”. Some time ago, about two months, I had a dream where I voiced out”
      “Cry out for the fullness of the Spirit”, to those who were in the same large hall with me.
      And then two days ago, while in a prayer call with some brother and sisters I heard these words: “Zion Is Awakening.”
      And now I am reminded of the Spirit saying these words of Paul in 1 Cor 7:29 ” the time is short: it remaineth, that both
      they that have wives be as though they had none”. And those that weep as though they weep not; and those that rejoice
      as though they rejoice not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not,” Now, that will be hard for most of us. But by His Grace,
      we will lay on the Alter all that’s mortal and temporary; even as Moses and many others saw behind the vail of the flesh, that
      city whose maker and builder is none other than Jehovah. Shalom. Br. David

    2. WANDA,
      All you say is so true. but (Don’t you Love the “but”) I keep thinking that as a body we are guilty of becoming like groupies and making heros of people in “leadership.” Media pumps them up and other leaders use them as headliners at their conferences and chats. I watch ministries USE immature men, more than women, especially those gifted in word of knowledge and with charismatic personalities. We literally set them up to fail, and all too often they do fall. Much to their and our chagrin. And the Enemy laughs.

    3. The Lord cares for EACH of us. Even tho leaders, the gifted ones and the larger groups of believers are all important, have their place, the Lord has His eye on where we are within ourselves. He truly does care for His flock and His standards in leadership, high. Thank You Holy Spirit for being there with and for us, oh gentle and strong of heart, in Him.

    4. Very true. It’s easy to be blind because of our own self righteousness which is something none of us is exempt from Tragically those in elevated or power positions can insulate themselves from correction

        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.

        Sehnsucht in the Blue Ridge Mountains — Nicole O'Meara

        Sehnsucht is hard to put into words, as can be seen in my painfully limited ability to describe what I felt at a vista in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some call it joy. Some called it wistful longing for something you can’t explain. It has been called melancholy and nostalgia. It is all of that, and mo
