the FireCarrier

Each day remember me and my loving kindness. Sit beneath the shadow I will provide. If you search for me, you will find me. I am there awaiting you.

Learn who you are in me. You are mine. You reflect the royalty and power which are mine. You are greatly loved. My protection and provision are all about you. Yes, you are mine. Do not be fearful, for I am the ever-present creator. I continue to breathe life into those who know me. You are my creation, brought forth in my image.

  Come ride upon my wings. I will show you what you need to see. I speak my peace over you. Like a blanket of love, it descends upon you; a covering and an anointing. As I now bless you, go and anoint those I will show you.

Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he took a bow and arrows. Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands. He said, “Open the window toward the east,” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” And he shot. And he said,  “The Lord’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you will defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you have destroyed them.” Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” and he struck it three times and stopped. So the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times, then you would have struck Aram until you would have destroyed it. But now you shall strike Aram only three times.”” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13:15-19‬ ‭(NASB)

What would you like me to do for you? Have you asked me, expecting I will answer? Or have you hidden it away, thinking I will not answer? Reach out for more of me. Spend time in my presence.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits of all he created. James 1:16-18 (NIV)

  Look about you. All that you see is mine. The visible and the invisible flow from my voice. You too are my creation. Open yourself to more of my heart Directing you. See beyond what your senses may tell you. Move beyond your areas of comfort and ready yourself to be astonished; to be doing astonishing things. Reach out to where I lead you and find out where I would take you.

Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. On the fifth of the month in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile, the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the Lord came upon him. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭1:1-3‬ (‭NASB)‬‬

So the sky, the earth, and all that filled them were finished. By the seventh day God finished the work he had been doing, so he rested from all his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it a holy day, because on that day he rested from all the work he had done in creating the world. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:1-3‬ (‭NCV)‬‬

Also do good things for the city where I sent you as captives. Pray to the Lord for the city where you are living, because if good things happen in the city, good things will happen to you also.” The Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: Don’t let the prophets among you and the people who do magic fool you. Don’t listen to their dreams. They are prophesying lies to you, saying that their message is from me. But I did not send them, says the Lord. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:7-9‬ ‭NCV‬‬ Do not be bound from fear. I am there. Be secure in me. My ways do not change. If you listen, you can hear me directing you. Sometimes it is in the silence that I share my heart. Know I’ve never changed my direction or plans for you.

You can’t ignore the question. What did you learn about yourself today? Did you see things through my eyes or through a grid of judging? Show yourself and expect me. I AM ever-there with you. I AM your guidance and protection.

  One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.” “What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?” But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the Lord says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!” And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the Lord had promised.” 2 Kings 4:42-44 (NLT) Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this remote place.” But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” For there were about 5,000 men

Let me reveal myself through you. Allow my winds to blow over you. My love to permeate you and spill onto others. My love is never-ending. My plans and giftings for you have never changed. Step forward and grow in my image.

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should h

Fifty men from the group of prophets also went and watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped beside the Jordan River. Then Elijah folded his cloak together and struck the water with it. The river divided, and the two of them went across on dry ground!” 2 Kings 2:7-8 (NLT) When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken away.” And Elisha replied, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor.” “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t.” As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” And as they disappeared from sight, Elisha tore h

Awaken to the dreams I have set for you. This is your time. You will begin to walk-out my love. Allow me to be more active in and through you. It is time for dormant giftings to arise. It is time to again fly in my Spirit. It is your time to arise.

If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you, and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. You are to follow the Lord your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭13:1-4‬ ‭(BSB‬‬)

I pray that the glorious Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know Christ better. Ephesians 1:17 (GW) It's time to recognize who I AM; The creator of all things. Come and sit with me. Release your self-expectation and become whole in me. I will reveal all you need to know.

Then the Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Behold, the Lord is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:11-13‬ (‭BSB‬‬)

Be ready, this day I have more for you. I will present myself. I will place opportunities for you To grow deeper in what I have for you. Are you ready? Weigh carefully how you respond. Know that I am the ever-present one.

Then he lay down and slept under the broom plant. An angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” When he looked, he saw near his head some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water. So he ate, drank, and went to sleep again. The angel of the Lord came back and woke him up again. The angel said, “Get up and eat, or your journey will be too much for you.” He got up, ate, and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled for 40 days and nights until he came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night. Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah. He asked, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:5-9‬ ‭(GW‬‬)

I invite you to come closer. Sit with me and observe through my eyes. Let The impatience of your day be resolved. See what I see through the lens of my vision. Allow my healing oil to penetrate into those rough and tender places. Become wholly dependent upon me.

Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees. Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’” And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭18:41-46‬

Some time later the woman’s son became sick. He grew worse and worse, and finally he died. Then she said to Elijah, “O man of God, what have you done to me? Have you come here to point out my sins and kill my son?” But Elijah replied, “Give me your son.” And he took the child’s body from her arms, carried him up the stairs to the room where he was staying, and laid the body on his bed. Then Elijah cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, why have you brought tragedy to this widow who has opened her home to me, causing her son to die?” And he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, please let this child’s life return to him.” The Lord heard Elijah’s prayer, and the life of the child returned, and he revived! Then Elijah brought him down from the upper room and gave him to his mother. “Look!” he said. “Your son is alive!”” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭17:17-23‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Are you listening for me, expecting I will answer you? How do you treat others? Can they see me thru you? Do you believe my love is never-ending? Actively look for me and you will find me. I am already there with your answer. Proclaim my message. You are my reflection for the world, those around you.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:14-19‬ (‭NASB) You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Fa

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) Don’t be looking back, nor be stuck in the past. I have equipped you for what is needed now. You are my representative. Cross over into the territory I shall show you. Walk forth! I am sending you into the world in my power.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:14-19‬ (‭NASB)

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-3‬ (‭NASB)

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. Psalms 1:1-3 (NLT) Let my peace wash over you and cleanse you each day. Allow me to direct your pathway and grant you provision. Seek me, for I am there for you. I await with plans. You can not disappoint me, for I know your heart and the plans I have. Follow after me and fresh peace will be upon you. My healing will flow through you. My joy is available. Seek after me.

Thus says the Lord, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord. “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66:1-2‬ (‭NASB)

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:7-8‬ ‭(NASB) Watch expecting and receive what I have for you. Again you will fly with me and I will take you into new areas which will allow you to grow.

Will You not revive us and bring us to life again, That Your people may rejoice in You? Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord, And grant us Your salvation. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭85:6-7‬ ‭(AMP‬‬) Follow after my heart. I will bring about changes for you and through you. I will change the way you view circumstances. I will raise the level of your expectations. New life will flow forth as you walk-out what I show you.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:7-9 (NLT) Rest secure in knowing my heart is for you. Allow your ways to reflect me. I will wash away the stains of your past. You will reflect the glory of my Son bringing my light to where I direct you.

So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. And the Lord said, “I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing— all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them. But Noah found favor with the Lord. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:6-8‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4-9‬ ‭(NLT

In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. Psalms 34:6-7 (NLT) Look about. Speak life and renewal to see changes in your environment. Hope remains. Proclaim my names and let there be abundant life.

  Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will spread out in all directions—to the west and the east, to the north and the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you. Genesis 28:14-15 (NLT)

I am ever-watching over you. My love does not fail and it never-ends. Don’t tire, but continue to watch for me to show myself. I can be found. Listen for my whisper to you in your every-day life. I will guide you with my eyes. I am there awaiting you.

On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4 (NLT)

Awaken yourself to my ways, for I am speaking to you. Allow me to remove the tenson and blockers which hinder you. Allow me to illuminate the blockages to your growth. Soak in my word. Sit with me and keep silent.

‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Acts of the Apostles 2:17-21 (NLT)

Don’t allow things to get personally unsettled, but place your trust in me. I will show you the way and grant the needed provision. Continue to seek me. I am never-changing. Watch for direction within your morning dreams.

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you!   The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever Psalms 121:1-8 (NLT)

so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:11‬ ‭(BSB‬‬) Stop judging the appearance of others. See what I see and act upon what I release to you. I will show you things in advance and in my timing. Be ready to walk out my plan. Be an active agent of my Word.

Come closer. I wish to impart my ways into your life. You don’t need to struggle; I’ve made the way for you. Wash yourself and accept my forgiveness. I will show you what you need. I am the way you are searching for. I’ve known you from before you were within your mother. Draw closer and receive my blessing. I have covered you with my name and continue to protect you. You have received what is needed, now grow. Stretch forth into your pathway and destiny.

Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”” And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there. So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”” Genesis 32:26-30 (BSB)
