Dear Lord, I thank You for Your word. Lord speak to me afresh what it is that You desire to do in these days. "There are many fire hydrants in your streets. Look upon them with eyes of the Spirit. Look upon these hydrants for what they are in the spirit realm. These hydrants provide a ready supply of water to extinguish fires. They are meant as tools to be used to put out destructive fire. "Hear O My Bride. There is destructive fire raging throughout the world in this hour. This fire rages and consumes all who are touched by it and embrace it. When flames draw nigh, they set things ablaze. When fire comes near you, you can be feel or sense the heat, and be warned by the burning heat that you should flee from the fire and its all consuming blaze. If you do not flee, it will not only burn, but it will consume to utter destruction what has been touched by it. This fire is an unholy fire. It is a fire fueled by the flesh! It is a fire that is fueled by religious zeal! It is a fire that is only satisfied by consuming all that is before it and leaving nothing after the burning. It is not a refining fire but a consuming fire. "O church, arise and embrace the refining fire! The refining fire is that which consumes all that is impure and leaves only that which is pure and holy and imperishable. The baptism of fire that I bring is a fire of love and restoration. It is a fire of purity and wholeness. It is a fire that separates all that would drag you down and destroy you from who you are in Me. Once separated, I remove it and cast it away, so all that remains is pure gold before Me. It is a fire of holiness. It is a fire of My love and passion. It is a fire that cleanses and heals and restores. "The unholy fire that is running through the earth is a consuming fire that leaves nothing in its wake. It consumes life and all that is precious in My sight. It consumes the very hearts of My people. It is a fire birthed in religious zeal, and it is an unbridled fire, for it cannot be satisfied. It is a fire so consuming that is destroys the very life I came to give in abundance. The fire burns so deep that it wounds and hurts people. It damages the very ones who should be healed and restored. "This unholy fire, does not bring holiness to the Bride, it brings legalism and death. It stifles life and enshrines rules and order. It brings confusion and loss of identity to the Body of Christ. People identify themselves by doctrine and by the rules they invent and the order which they keep amongst themselves. The fire burns so deep that is transforms the keeping of rules into what they believe to be the work of holiness in their lives. They are deceiving themselves and are leading others astray. This unholy fire is not birthed out of holiness. This fire flows from religious zeal and an obsession to fervently follow their own vain imaginations. This fire seems good. It brings change. But the change is not Spirit born or Spirit led. It's origin is in the flesh that desires to do good and be good, but the flesh cannot produce holiness or goodness. Only the Spirit can bring to birth holiness and goodness, for it is the righteousness of Jesus poured out upon My people. Jesus desires to live out His life in and through the people, but unholy fire causes the flesh to try to live the life is cannot live. There is only One who is perfect who can live the Christian life, and that is Jesus Himself, living His life through you. "The fire hydrants, are My dispensers of the waters of healing and restoration that are ready to put out these unholy fires throughout My body in these days. It is through the holy intercession of My prophetic watchmen that the hydrants will be opened up on My body. These servants, the prophetic watchmen, will by My prophetic firemen, who will direct the flow of the waters that will extinguish this unholy fire. "These hydrants will be opened up, and I will release the life transforming flow of My living waters, as a River, these waters will flow and touch all in the Kingdom, and bring healing and restoration, and more important than anything else, it will bring a renewal to the hearts of the people, that will burst forth in Jesus living out His life in their hearts and lives! This inner transformation will put to death the unholy fire of fleshly zeal that has corrupted and derailed many in the Kingdom! This flow of living waters will destroy the legalism that has brought bondage to My people! This living water will usher in a new and deeper freedom and liberty to My body in the earth. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! "Embrace the holy fire, the refining fire, the fire that cleanses and heals, and releases Jesus to live out His live in His body. And put out the unholy fleshly fire that attempts to usurp Jesus and inflict the bondage of legalism and rules upon My body. I am the judge of My people, and I desire to see mercy triumph over justice. Love one another and encourage one another to pursue after Me and embrace the holy place. Do not confuse religious zeal with a holy lover's passion. I desire passion and abandonment. I desire to open up the hydrants and let the living waters flow and overwhelm My people with the fire of My love. Forsake fleshly zeal and embrace holy passion, and I will bring renewal and abundant life and joy." My word declares: 8 Yes indeed, it is good when you truly obey our Lord's royal command found in the Scriptures: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 9 But if you pay special attention to the rich, you are committing a sin, for you are guilty of breaking that law. 10 And the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as the person who has broken all of God's laws. 11 For the same God who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." So if you murder someone, you have broken the entire law, even if you do not commit adultery. 12 So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free. 13 For there will be no mercy for you if you have not been merciful to others. But if you have been merciful, then God's mercy toward you will win out over his judgment against you. (James 2:8-13). |
