Going through the Fire to Carry the Fire

Knowledge of the enemy's plans without the power to defeat him is useless. God is looking for a people who not only know the truth about the devil's schemes, but carry the fire of God to burn up his plans! This can only come when we each embrace the purifying fire in our own lives. We do not carry the fire until we go through it.

The fires God sends are to purify our hearts and sanctify our cause. The enemy seeks to pull us into fires of his own making, but they only serve to destroy our faith and weaken our call. Know the difference!

The Lord has been leading His people through testing fires in order to purify and prove the worth of our words. Is He God or is He not? Is He faithful to keep His promise or is He not? Are His goodness and power stronger than the fires of affliction, able to OVERTURN THE DEATH SENTENCE THE ENEMY HAS WAGED AGAINST US? These claims must surely be tested, for our declarations are meant to carry the weight of Heaven with fire.

"They have spoken falsely of the Lord and have said, 'He will do nothing; no disaster will come upon us, nor shall we see sword or famine. The prophets will become wind; the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them!'

Do Not Fear the Fire!

Faith is being sharpened and strengthened in those who have determined to pass through the flames undeterred. The enemy would have you fear his fires and back away from the challenge, but the Lord is calling us to GO THROUGH!

"Pass through! Pass through the fires that are purifying your hearts and perfecting your declarations! Do not acquiesce to the pressure and do not conform to your adversaries.

My consuming fire begins in the hearts of those who trust in My absolute rule in the affairs of men and My absolute authority over the devil's work.

YOU ARE MY VESSELS OF RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT AGAINST THE ENEMY'S TORMENT! But it is only with fire from the altar of surrender that My authority can work through you.

Truth can set you free, but My fire within will annihilate your enemies!

Do not yield to the fires of your foes or the fears of your flesh. That which is eternal and lasting will come through the flames as gold and burnished bronze.

Those who pass through My fire will become unyielding to My enemies and fearless in the fray. Their pursuit will be holy and their words will burn with fury from My throne."
