the FireCarrier

Step out of the shadows of your thoughts and come into my light. Do not be limited by your thinking. Reveal your ways and motives, So I might wash over you. Draw closer to me. Do not fear, but receive my peace. He has made My mouth like a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a select arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver Isaiah 49:2

The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused. Then at your command, O Lord, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. Psalms 18:13-16 (NLT) Father,  Thank you for your patience and guidance. Help me to be more aware of you within my life. I need fresh vision and revelation of your heart. Open my senses to your moving. Open my heart to those you place within my life. Draw me closer to you, so I might be washed again with you. Help me to recognize your guiding and protecting. Fill me with what I should want, the need for more of you. You have said to me, "The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out"

It was the first time I had experienced the verbal commands for radio stations, Cd and to play audio files. There was more than one occasion I had issues getting it to respond to what I wanted. Then after a while, you become accustomed to it and think nothing of how to get what you want/need.      Yesterday I went out to my car and I had no response with the radio. I turned it off/on and till had silence. It was the same silence with the AM/FM radio, or audio files, no matter how many times I repe

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.  You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.  You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:1-6, 23-24‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Hunger for me and I will fill you. You can not Find me, if you are not searching. I will show myself to you As you reach out. As you hunger and thirst I will be revealed. Know I am there at all times, despite what your natural eyes May show you or what your natural thinking may tell you. You can not recognize for what you are not searching.

I am the light. My true light illuminates your pathway. Watch for me.  Be steadfast and sure-footed in my way. Stay near to my leading. At all times and all places, I am there with you. Follow my light. I am the light of the world.

 Hello God, this is Steve. Help me to recognize your ways, to recognize your many ways, I feel useless, like foam drifting upon the warm dirty water. I can look back and see your active hand upon my life, but not so much in these times. Don’t allow me to dry up like a withered plant. Help me to recognize your direction. Forgive my selfish ways. Create a pure heart and life for you. AMEN

 Don’t quit. Trust me and the words I speak. I am life and truth. In me is light. Follow the way I have prepared for you.

Pause. Take time to be alone with me.  Learn to be sensitive to my direction. I Am what you are searching for. Fear not. I am your protection. Rest secure in me. I will direct your pathway. The decision is clear for you. Now you must act upon what you have received.

Do not be caught in the past. Look forward into the light of my direction.  I am what you are searching for. I am yet the light of the world. In me there is strength. In me there is truth and love. Seek my light. Let it be imparted into your being.

 Commit everything you do to the Lord.  Trust him, and he will help you.  He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,  and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.  Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.  Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:5-7‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers — the moon and the stars you set in place — what are mere mortals that you should think about them,  human beings that you should care for them?  Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.  You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority — the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,  and everything that swims the ocean currents.  O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8:3-9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Step forward. Today, I am calling you. Move into where I have prepared for you. You are my ambassador of light. Allow me to flow through you. Do not hesitate when you hear my voice, but move with my authority and purpose.

  Father-God, it’s me, one more time. Awaken me to your presence; draw me closer. I ask for forgiveness of my sins. Create a righteous spirit within me; Grant a desire to serve and worship you. One which honours your ways.   Fill me with your Sprit. Enter me into you ways.

 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;  his ears are open to their cries for help.  But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil;  he will erase their memory from the earth. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:15-16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Yes, He hears and cares for you.

 Do not be troubled by what you see, Let there be no fear, for you are mine. I am ever before you and your rear-guard. No enemy will overtake you as you move about where I direct. I am the covering for your sin. Close your eyes and tell me what you see. I will give you my vision. Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit.  You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God.  For there are many false prophets in the world. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:1‬ (‭NLT)

Elisha picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River. He struck the water with Elijah’s cloak and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” Then the river divided, and Elisha went across. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2:13-14‬ ‭(NLT) What are you doing with what I have given you? Believe in me. Be found doing what I have shown you. I have supplied you with what you need. Now, Close your eyes to the lies of the enemy. See with my eyes. Know I am with you.

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak  and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.  And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Then the Lord told him, “Go back the same way you came,  and travel to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive there,  anoint Hazael to be king of Aram. Then anoint Jehu grandson of Nimshi to be king of Israel,  and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field.  There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team.  Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:15-16, 19‬ (‭NLT)‬‬  

 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out  and stood at the entrance of the cave.  And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah? ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Are you ready? Come forth. It’s time to move away from what you know in the natural. Move out of your cave of hiding and speak clearly what I show you. I will give you the words to speak. I will show you my heart for those. Are you ready to see what I am doing?

 I have revealed my words to you. They have been present before your birth, They grow like secrets revealed in the night season. You need to more than recognize my prompting, but respond. Follow after what I speak to you . Rest assured in their promise.

 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 1 Timothy 1:18 (NIV) Father-God, Let me not forget you in my daily walk. Awaken my spirit to align with what you have spoken. Help me to review the prophecies you have had spoken into my life. Direct my heart And my spirit to be ever-seeking after you, and to become imprinted with you Holy Spirit. Move me forward when I should be moving. Help me to slow when I should be slowing. Be patient and directive, encouraging my ways as I bring righteous warfare. Amen.

 It is time for my people to speak. Launch my word into the air. Project my love and attitude to those who are in lack. Far not, but move forward for I am with you. I am the one Creator of all things. I am the sustainer and provider. Ask me and I will provide you with direction authority. Speak forth my word in love and watch the produce.

 O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced.  Save me, for you do what is right.  Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection,  a fortress where I will be safe. You are my rock and my fortress.  For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.  Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone.  I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:1-5‬ ‭(NLT) Love the Lord, all you godly ones!  For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,  but he harshly punishes the arrogant.  So be strong and courageous,  all you who put your hope in the Lord! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:23-24‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) I ask for forgiveness for my actions and reactions. Forgive me. Help me see and move toward what you have for me to be doing.

Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings; honor the Lord for his glory and strength.  Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.  The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.  The God of glory thunders.  The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.  The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.  The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.  He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;  he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.  The voice of the Lord strikes with bolts of lightning.  The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;  the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.  The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks and strips the forests bare.  In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”  The Lord rules over the floodwaters. The Lord reigns as king forever.  The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29:1-11‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ You my people,

 Wake up: It is time arise from your slumber. Awaken to the reality of my love. You have been equipped in the night season. Now see.  envision what I have  for you to be doing. So arise and go forth. Move forward where I am leading you.  Arise above those insecurities the enemy has planted. He seeks to kill your hope.  He wants to steal the hope and destroy the inheritance you have in me. You cannot fail. I have sealed your instructions within your heart.  Go where I have shown you in your deep slumber.  Move beyond and into my supernatural reality.

 Stay tuned for more. Do not adjust your focus from me,  that which what I have already spoken into your heart. Stay tuned to the ways I have imparted to your heart.  My light shines. It will identify the way in those times of darkness. You need not fear. I am your covering, your protection.

Stand firm for He loves you. His arm of protection is all about you. Ask for His refilling within your life so you might complete your calling, those things he has yet for you to do, enlarging His kingdom. Soak in Him. Allow the oil to remove your injuries and callouses. And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened  [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit],  so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee,  the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (G od’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and  surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe.  These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:18-19‬ ‭(AMP‬‬)

This is a time of sending and receiving. Not only need we take care in what we are receiving,  using the junk folder and “delete”.  We must be equally aware of what we are sending. Is the message you are broadcasting one which you have received from me? Do not be premature in sending my revelation. But soak in me. I will prepare the target-receiver. I will prepare your heart like a field; Plowing the rough portions, turning over the weeds until my pure revelation appears. Become like me: My timing is perfect, my motives are true. Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.  ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1:20-21‬ ‭(NLT) Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NIV)

The one thing I ask of the Lord — the thing I seek most —  is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,  delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple.  For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary.  He will place me out of reach on a high rock.  Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me.  At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music. Psalms 27:4-6 (NLT) It is God’s privilege to conceal things and the king’s privilege to discover them. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:2‬ (‭NLT)

For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.  My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.  And I have put my words in your mouth and hidden you safely in my hand.  I stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth.  I am the one who says to Israel, ‘You are my people!’ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:15-16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Cover me, oh my God, for I am needy and weak. Guard me and guide me into your ways. Supply what I need to become one of your people. Draw mw closer to you. Hold me in your strong arms. Allow me again to see with your eyes.  Point out those things I should learn and when to be quiet. Help me father to bring honour to your name.

Look to me. Do not become distracted in the mess all about you. The enemy seeks to keep away from what I have for you. He reminds you of your short-comings, well knowing you are complete in me. Avoid his seeds of doubt. The has paid the price  You are mine thru the way of Jesus. His blood was shed so you might be free from the curse. Seek me in all you do and I will be found.
