the FireCarrier

Our bodies are to be sanctuaries. As believers, the Holy Spirit abides within us. We as a corporate church and as individuals are sacred to Him (1 Corinthians 3:17, 6:19). We are responsible for what we allow and maintaining a holy lifestyle. I’ve found that God often brings things to light in natural ways to remind me of spiritual principles. And the LORD said to me, "Son of man, take careful notice; use your eyes and ears. Listen to everything I tell you about the regulations concerning the LORD's Temple. Take careful note of who may be admitted to the Temple and who is to be excluded from it.” Ezekiel 44:5 (NLT) I’d gotten out a teaching CD to listen in the car on my commutes to and from work. I found an interesting reminder. The speaker was stressing the importance of our spiritual eyes and ears. We are to use our eyes and ears. Throughout scripture we are reminded as to the importance of our spiritual eyes and ears. In keeping from certain things their acuity increases. ...

Have you learned who you are? Ask of me. Be prepared to listen. Feed my people what I give you. In me you are complete. Learn from me. I will hold back nothing from those who seek me with their whole heart. Is that you? I look at you wondering if you will be the one. Are you the one who will move beyond your perceived weaknesses? Listen to my leading you each day. Stop striving. Lock your eyes into mine. I am moving. Come move with me. My Spirit is hovering over those yet to find me. Feel the wind of my messengers. Be prepared to move into new realms. The day of preparation is before the Sabbath. Be filled with my spirit. The chariots blaze with fire of steel on the day of his preparation for battle. Rest in me. Be prepared to move forth. You can go as far as you allow me to move. Bring forth only that I ask for. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat--that is all you may do. Learn who you are in me. Ask and be prepared to receive what is needed. Fe...

Though the world be older, the need for, nor the news has not changed. We are not to fear what God is saying. He is still sending messengers with a word of hope. We should be joyful that this message remains for us; in fact we can be sharing this same message with all people we are in contact. Take the time this Christmas season to ask yourself, "'Where is my joy?" Take time to be renewed and relaigned properly with our creator. He has not changed. His message remains the same as one heard by the shepherds working in the field that one night, long ago. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for take note, I proclaim to you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people: Luke 2:10 (NET)

Then I asked the angel, "Sir, what do these chariots mean?" He answered, "These are the four winds; they have just come from the presence of the Lord of all the earth." Zechariah 6:4-5 (TEV) Stand firm. You are not alone, but in a time of growth. Seek after me. Call out to me. Know I am answering, yet you may not sense it in your natural man, I am growing your spiritual perception, so you may walk in fuller manisfestation. I am about again to make myself known in new ways.

Increase your spending this Christmas season. God encouraged me by explaining that He desires to spend time with each of His children. He wants to build relationships with His friends. Expectations are a natural part of building maturing relationships. We are to begin to expect God in unexpected places. He wishes to reveal Himself to us, as well as to the lost. Ask Him and see if He brings us dreams and visions in the night (Daniel 7:2). He wishes to show us His ways and plans. Are you not His child?He wishes to teach us even as we sleep (see Psalm 16:7, Psalm 17:3, Psalm 42:8). He wishes to challenge His people to grow in His way. Begin to ask for more. There is much to be done. We are to receive from God so we might give to others. Allow James 4:2 to remind us that we are to pray/ask God for the things we want and need. It is in our growing relationship with God that we can see how faithful he is to reveal His word. "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, ...

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. Deuteronomy 11:20 (ESV) We serve a mighty God. He is one who remembers us. He knows our frailties and failures and yet loves us. When we forget his ways he will send reminders. We are tested. As long as He knows our hearts are sincerely seeking Him, He pursues us. As I initially sat down in church Sunday 11/20, I searched my brief case for my pocket watch. I wanted to have it handy to look at, as I knew I must leave the service early. I found the watch. I thought the two year old battery must have died as the hands on the face had stopped at 08:02. I shook the watch and reset it to the proper time, but it made no difference. Several minutes later I re-looked at the watch, but it remained at the time I had previously set. I set it aside as the service...

You are my people. I have created you. From the beginning you were created with purpose. That purpose has not changed. You are to still subdue the earth. You are to have dominion over the earth, caring for and tending to its needs. I have created you for marvelous deeds to be accomplished for me. That can be accomplished as you learn to trust and obey my leading. You must know my word, the written and the spoken. Seek to discover my secrets that I may reward you. You are my people. For my plans to be accomplished you must place me first. You must stop thinking about your ministries. Seek me and focus upon my ways. Grow strong in me and in my name. Allow my glory to be seen. I have created you, my people, to grow and not be stagnant. My water is ever-flowing. Share the security and refreshing I can bring. I have created this discontent within your heart. I have place a need for more of me. It is not my intent that you be comfortable, but matured. It is time to move beyond the reliance o...

This morning as I was reading scriptures the television was on. It was a good guy vs. bad guy kids program. It was the Power Rangers Ninja Storm. I felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to watch a portion of the episode and to share what He had shown me. The Power Rangers are us. We both are regular people who have received supernatural gifts. The Power Rangers are individually dressed in specific colors, such as the Yellow Ranger or the Blue Ranger or the Red Ranger. Each ranger’s color was indicative of their ability to fight evil. While they were unique individuals, they were not to be seen as individual warriors. They were to work as a unified unit, with common direction. Together they defeated evil. Each ranger could fight alone, but when that occurred problems arose. The focus became the individual ranger and not the fact that evil was thwarted. With the eyes of the community coming to an individual here was a pride issue. The ranger became distracted and self absorbed. There was n...

Have you ever been asked, “What are you thinking?” If not, consider it now. What are you found thinking about? Where lays you thoughts, dreams and ambitions? Because where they are you will walk. Are you thinking of God and his ways, or are you stuck in the dwelling of what you see as circumstances? We learn to understand only that which we can experience. Have your eyes opened. Ask to have new vision. It is scriptural to ask to see. We are told we don’t have things because we do not ask for them. Jesus reminds us to keep on asking (Matthew 7:7, 11). Our eyes can be opened. We can view into the spiritual atmosphere. In 2 Kings 6:17 Elisha prayed for his servants eyes to see what he had already seen. Instantly Gehazi could see the horses and chariots of fire. If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:1-2 (NKJV). Are we taking the advi...

There is a way I have called you to. Follow this pathway and there will be no lack. In the way I have created for you there is provision. I will provide what is needed. I have not created you to walk alone nor to work alone. You are apart of my family. I have distributed my resources in order that you may learn unity. Learn humility. I have placed within you needs: a need to minister to others and a need to receive ministry. Love one another. In holding one another in prayer, I can work. My people worship me. Fulfill what I have set before you. Do not hold back or be timid. There is no failure in serving. In me there is life. Listen for me. I am giving direction. Seek me and find freedom. As you open your heart to my voice I can accomplish redemption. As you begin to see into new realms ask for wisdom. I will supply all that is needed for those who learn obedience, trusting in me. Learn my ways. Experience me. Seek my heart and more will be given you. Spend time with me and my l...

Walk in love. I've not called you to walk in fear. I have shown you the perfect example. Walk in love and be fulfilled.

Let my light shine. Do not withdraw. Allow it to flood you. Be filled with me. My light is pure. It exposes areas that need healing. Step into fullness, become whole. I am calling you to follow me. I will illuminate the pathway you are to take. My light will shine. Follow me. Be constantly filled with me. There is no fear when you are in my light. I illuminate the lies and deception. I dispel all darkness. I am the light of the world. I am calling forth vessels to carry my word and truth. Are you willing? I am calling forth a new people; I require an army who moves when I move and rests when I stop. Do you trust me? Expose yourself to me. Surrender to the purity of light. I am all you need. My light shines through those who trust me. My light shines for those trapped by the ways of the dark one. My light releases their bondage. My light releases your bondage. Seek me to receive what I have for you. I am calling forth those who will step forth. I am calling those to walk into the dark a...

Have you noticed a recent trend in sports? There was a recent increase of the champion spirit brought forth in the area of New England with the emergence of the Patriots in football. It has been repeatedly commented about their commitment to teamwork and not the individual. But the LORD is with me like a dread champion;Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed,With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten. Jeremiah 20:11 Have you noted who has won the World Series the past two years? Last year it was Boston and this year Chicago. It was a Red Sox with a bloody red sock (Kurt Schilling) that lead Boston to it's first victory. The "curse" was lifted. RED Sox and WHITE Sox; Consider these significant coverings and direction for the champions of God.For these White Sox gained victory. They soundly defeated their set of three opponents. This was their first championship since the infamous year of 1919...

For although we are walking in the flesh, we do not wage war in a fleshly way, since the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (HCSB) We’ve all read and heard about spiritual weapons. We have some realization they are not weapons, as we would normally define weapons. We seem to know what the spiritual weapons are not, better than we can define what they are. I was recently re-awakened to perception of spiritual weapons. In a vision I was taken into the heavens. I found myself in front of a building with a very large doorway. There was an angel at the doorway. When he saw me looking inside, he asked if I knew what the building was. “No,” I answered shaking my head. I was t...

Stand firm in me. Examine me. Embrace the truth of my Word. I am truth. I have laid down my life so you might live in abundance. What I have done stands eternal. I have equipped you as new citizens. Walk in me and allow me to show you my love. Learn to increase your trust in my. I am truth and life. In me you can accomplish kingdom results; Speak redemption by offering acceptance. Feed my people what I have given you. Share my bread of life. Stand firm. Weather the storms and grow in me. All resources are mine. Spread them into my kingdom that the net of my ways will increase. I have equipped you to accomplish my ways. Walk in the truth I have presented, yet remain open. Grounded in what I have spoken, more will be shown you. Stop examining your supposed lack. I have equipped you to work in my ways. Through me my kingdom grows.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people. I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else in this world or in the world to come. Ephesians 1:18-21 (NLT) I ask that this prayer of Paul seat itself within you. With your heart be flooded with the light of Jesus, He outflows to those we are around. As God is so rich in mercy towards us, so should we too reflect this great example. We have an inheritance far above our earthly standard of wealth. As we are called to be a light unto the world, we too may cast the shadow of healing. With a...

And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (warped, wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me. Matthew 17:17 (AMP) Yes, Jesus answers us. He hears are conversations and requests. He hears our cries and our partitions. He hears the spoken and unspoken words of accusation and rebellion. Most importantly, Jesus answers us. He converses with those who come seeking him. One thing we need notice in scripture there is one key ingredient for Jesus to answer. We must engage Jesus if we expect an answer. He does not answer unasked requests. We can see that Jesus turns to, stops to hear and pauses to those who come to him and engage Him. Jesus may even wait before answering our prayers. Perhaps he gives us time to examine our hearts and request. Perhaps he allows us to determine if we are really calling to him or are complaining of our circumstances. He may even be allowing us to see if we believe He ...

I heard the Holy Spirit speaking as I worked outside. There is a call for intercessors to come into alignment. There are many of my people who have been hidden away in closets. Not that I put you there, but out of your woundedness. It is time to come forth. Enter into a new light of glory. If you are healed then step forth. Now is not the time to be silent. Some of you are in varying stages of what seems to be healing. Allow me to bring fresh light so the process comes to completion. There can be no tenderness or guarding at the point of the wound, if you are to clearer hear and speak my words. There are those of you who cloister in your own domains. Align with what I am doing, and do not stay myopic. Allow my vision to bring forth my plans, else your acuity will decrease. It is time for my intercessors to do the work you were called for. Some of you who are hidden away, need now take your place on the wall. Some of you now on the wall are being moved to the gait. You will bring my gu...

Father, I write you with a torrent of needs in mind. I see the enemy sifting at friends. He is releasing death and discouragement upon your people. Lives are being stolen and replaced with doubt. Finances are being removed and replaced with uncertainty. I sense those that were once strong in you, now weakened due to the doubts sent by the enemy. They need clarity of mind through you. They need your salve, so their spiritual vision may not only be restored, but granted an increased clarity. Countries are being torn apart. Neighboring people groups are terrorizing one another. Disasters follow upon disaster upon disaster, so much so that we wish not to hear or see the news of them. Our governments are weakened morally and financially. Leadership only sees their microcosm and strategizes to keep instead of helping others. Our judges are corrupt defining laws by their own wishes. Justice is not sought, but pushed away, into obscurity. Yet is this time of darkness we know you remain true a...

I know you. I am familiar with every facet of your life. You are mine, and I cherish you. You are mine. I see the great things I’ve planted within you. When I look at you I see my son. I know the pains you hold within. But within you is light. Within you is destiny. Within you lies healing for nations. I have placed within you the weapon of my love. With authority you carry my sword of truth. The power of multiplication is within your grasp. You are to bring food for the widows and homeless children. I am pleased when I hear you praying to my Son. My spirit prods you to new levels of intercession. There are no limits to those who desire more of me. I will pour myself freely and fully into your life. I create circumstances so you might grow in maturity And more of me is seen when you walk. Those who learn to sit with me learn there are no failures. Do not become distracted by victory lest you lose your focus in me. For to the ones who have more of me, are the ones more will be given.
