the FireCarrier

Then he touched their eyes and said, Because of your faith, it will happen. Then their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, Don’t tell anyone about this. Matthew 9:29-30 (NLT) Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. They were glorious to see. And they were speaking about his exodus from this world, which was about to be fulfilled in Jerusalem. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:30-31‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

What is it you would ask of me? Consider the vastness of open options. Consider what you would do if I gave you what you had asked for. Think back in your past at answered prayers and if there was any growth within you. Be strong in me and filled with grace. Is that a reflection which others now see? I will not fail you. My ways are never-changing. What would you ask?

Do not become distracted by the past. I AM yet with you, guiding you onward. Find the clues I have set before you. Measure them against My ways. Watch expectantly for my answer. Enjoy where you are right now. I am there. Stretch yourself to grow in my image.

It is time to step forward. Become whom I have already spoken. Remove the contact from your left eye. Let others see clearly whom you are, fully in me. Step forward into your calling.

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:4-8‬ (‭NIV‬‬)

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 (NLT) Do not resist. But draw near. I am training you. I have called you away from your life and into me. Walk the pathway I show you. I am giving you what is needed for others. You are to teach and show them my heart. You are to feed them upon my Word. Rely upon me and be filled.

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

Examine your ways. What have you received from me that is still undeveloped or hidden away. Why is it so? Listen to the sounds of my creation. Join your voice with it and sing. Step forth and learn my boldness. Draw closer. Hide yourself in me.

Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last. It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth, my right hand that spread out the heavens above. When I call out the stars, they all appear in order. Isaiah 48:12-13 (NLT) There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:5-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Look about you. I created all that you see and all that you can’t see. I spoke life into existence. I now breathe new life into you. Inhale and receive. I speak fullness and spiritual health into your situations. Reach out and believe. Step forth and expand your gifting. Walk in new fullness. Now go, and speak my Word in love.

Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last. It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth, my right hand that spread out the heavens above. When I call out the stars, they all appear in order. Isaiah 48:12-13 (NLT)

May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us. Interlude May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you. Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. Interlude May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you. Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us. Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭67:1-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Call out to me. Raise your voice so that your heart may hear. All my names in belief that I will answer you. Learn my ways. Know that I have a plan for you to participate with me. Are you ready? Call out and learn my names.

Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; Yes, let them rejoice with gladness. Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the Lord, and exult before Him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:1-4‬ ‭(NASB)

As you look forward you are able to see and realize there is a new season approaching. It will be different from other portions of your life. You will get to test what you have learned, to put my ways into practice. It is not a time for fear, but to grow into the fullness of my image. Be strong and courageous. Allow my love to flow outward, so I can grant you more. You were created for this time. Walk in the fullness.

"But you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the Lord. “You are my servant. You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other God— there never has been, and there never will be. I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:10-11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

The fire must be kept burning on the altar all the time; it must not go out. Leviticus 6:13 (NCV) Don’t become distracted by what you may see or what your feelings would force upon you. Believe in me and My Word. I will guide you. I will show you the route you should take. Blow upon the embers so they may grow forth into full flame. Let there be no doubt or confusion. I Am with you.

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31 (NLT)

Turn the page. Do not allow the distractions to keep you from me. I have plans yet for you to accomplish. I have things for you to yet walk in and share with others. Turn the page of another year and see the part of me which has illuded you. I will show you how expand what you know and overflow you with a new love with my family.

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭28:16-17a‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Watch, as I am beginning to change the sign. New direction is coming. If you follow your old way you may miss what is coming. Don't rely upon what you thought you knew, but rely upon my revelation. I will point you in the way you should go. I am releasing more of my supernatural signs and ways.

Do not be complacent, but learn who I am. My names express my fullness. Study them and absorb the vastness of my love and majesty. Yes, come to me. Allow my ways to bring healing and wholeness. Allow me to overwhelm you with my love. Find out who I AM. Learn my names and the depths of what I have for you.

Learn my Word. Let it saturate your ways. Listen for me as I am whispering your name. I am calling for you to come closer. Don’t be in doubt, but be filled with me. Ask and expect me to direct your way I will draw you to me. I will open your heart. Step forward. I am here.

And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:5-6‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Awaken, open your eyes. I have more for you to do for me. I have lives that need be reached and hearts healed. Step forth and pray. Let my Words come back to me. Speak forth mercy and justice. Let condemnation die upon it’s twisted vine. Awaken and recognize that it is me. I am the one protecting and directing you. I've placed dreams within your night seasons. Dwell upon them and find me at work.

O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude Psalms 61:1-4 (NLT)

Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:7‬ ‭(NLT) Allow me to change your heart. I will lead you in the direction you should go, with my eyes.

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭(NLT‬)‬ There are those who need to know me, to become whole. There are those who need direction and a friend. Reach out.

Allow me to show you things yet to come, to plant my ways in your heart and mind. I have given you my Word. It never changes. My heart for you. Be ready. There are plans for you to move forward.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Be simple and walk in my word. I will show you the ways to go and what to avoid.

You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. ‭‭John‬ ‭15:14-16‬ ‭(NLT)

Early the next morning Jesus went out to an isolated place. The crowds searched everywhere for him, and when they finally found him, they begged him not to leave them.

Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it.
