the FireCarrier

When Elisha came into the house, behold the lad was dead and laid on his bed.  So he entered and shut the door behind them both and prayed to the Lord. And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth and his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child became warm.  Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself on him; and the lad sneezed seven times and the lad opened his eyes.  2 Kings 4: 32-34 (NASU) I have heard your voice in prayer, calling out to me. I have laid out myself for you, covering you with my body. My healing is whole. Call my name and I will come, bringing the fullness of what is needed.

Look again. What do you see? Think beyond the natural. She does not need to hear the obvious, but that there is hope and freedom. She needs to know I have a plan for her life. She needs to know I will walk with her during this time in her life. I am her protector.

Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will loves him, and we will come into him and take residence with him.”

It is time to expand and explore. Move beyond what you already think you know. Do not be trapped in the routines of your past; those places where you found me before. I am on the move. My people are following me into unknown places and territories. Arouse yourself from your stuporous ways. Awaken to me and where I am taking you. I have not called you to follow the others, but to follow me into the pathways I have created for you. Your exodus will attract others I have called into this journey. I have called you. Are you going to follow me?

Then I asked the angelic messenger who was speaking with me, “What are these sir?”  The messenger replied, “These are the four spirits (winds/breaths) of heaven that have been presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.” Zechariah 6:4-5 (NET) Keep watch. Do not grow weary. My plans and purposes remain unchanged. Though the mountain before you seem as brass, I AM ever-present. I will demonstrate my triumph in my perfect timing. Do not grow weary. Demonstrate the power of my name. Demonstrate my compassion; Speak my words of peace and truth.

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.  Hebrews 5:14 (ESV)

and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me. Matthew 18:3-5 (THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language)

Now today in my walking I’d asked God if there were any more pennies for me. I did not see any during the walk, but as I was putting gasoline in the car I heard, “Look over there”. I  turned to the direction I had just been looking and now there were four pennies.  Yes, there were more pennies. The time before, He’d given me three, now today I had four more. So what you think?  Life changing, not so much? But how about affirming? He cares enough to provide these small cents of affirmation for me.  He will do the same things for you, but in ways which are meaningful for you.

This is a time of commencement for many of mine. You have passed through and are ready for more. I am opening more for you. I have empowered you and trained you.   I have placed before you all things. You are seeking me and what I can do though you.

In walking this morning, I was thinking about my role as a believer; A what am I called to do type of internal conversation. I’ve come to better understand my role as a firecarrier. It is two-fold. One to keep the fire on the altar constantly burning and the other to bring God’s fire directly into the lives of others.  It was then a heard the words, “pointed in the right direction”. As I heard that phrase I saw a penny in front of me brightly shining in the sunlight. I picked it up and saw the year as 1999, the year I became aware that I was in the prophetic camp. After seeing the year, I immediately saw two more pennies to the left of the original. They too seemed to have dates (1967 and 1971) significant to things which have occurred in my lifetime. So now: I wish to point you in the right direction. Ask Father: and expect an answer to those things which you really are asking Him.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.   2 Corinthians 4:16

I saw a man standing at a blue care. He was looking into the window of the rear door.  Twice I heard him gently call the name Edward.   Edward, Father is calling your name. He wishes to awaken you. For a time you have realized your revelatory gifting. But now you must awaken and stand firm in what has been spoken to you.   You have heavenly wealth and are to be come the guardian. With Father standing at your side you will not fail. Continue to follow his voice and He will transport you you where you will succeed in His will.  Don’t let this opportunity of calling pass by you.      Edward, He has called your name.
