the FireCarrier

I’m about to bring forth a new turbulence. My wind is about to spring forth. It will blow. Do not resist or you will break. My turbulence breaks the old ways. I bring cleansing and refreshing. In my way is life. Take the liberty; ride my ways. I am creating a new turbulence. I am stirring many waters. The chaff is being blown away. It will not mingle with my seed. My word is holy and brings life. Step into my turbulence and be blown away. My spirit blows where I direct. It is coming to you. Be prepared.

Stop trying to blend in. I have created you unique. Do not hide what I see as value. You are my expression. Each portion of you has purpose and plan. I have those who need me that you are able to touch. You are my covenant. You are the train, north-bound and south-bound. I am the cargo you carry. Blend into my ways that I might colour the world with a new palette. Be tenderly hidden in me.

Getting close to me requires much; You must learn to release yourself. You must allow me to show you love. It is unconditional. Like an earthly parent, I am proud of you. I see what you are becoming. Though you fall, there is no weakness. Relax and allow me to enjoy showing you my ways. Stop the self-expectation. I have much-more for you. Sit with me, closing your eyes, imagining what I see. My strength abides when you are weak. My ways of breaking are tender for my children. Allow me into your every thought.

Adam He stood on the edge of eternity. Slow breezes watered his mind. The sky went on forever. He talked with the birds. They ate of his hand. He fed them his eyes. They made love to him as he drank the solitude of shade. First man again you come. Eternity was to your back. The birds nest in the fragrance of your hair, unaware that you are gone and here at the same time.

I find I am often more open with God when I am busy, such as mowing the yard or even walking. Such it was this evening as I was walking the dogs. I asked him that he would show himself to me, in whatever manner he would chose, and not necessarily in the ways I expect him. Later this same evening I heard him clearly speak a word to me. He said, “It is in the failures, not the successes that you are measured.” When I sat thinking on what I had heard, this verse came to mind. Come, let us return to the Lord. For He has torn [us], and He will heal us; He has wounded [us], and He will bind up our wounds. Hosea 6:1 (HCSB) What an attitude to have, knowing that while we may receive punishment, we expect healing too. Our father cares for us as individuals. We see that the writer of Hebrews was aware of the concept in quoting from Proverbs 3:11-12 he writes, And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly, or faint when you ar...

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

I am the bread of life. Take of my body. My body was beaten for you. I was broken in order to bring life. Gather into me. Receive that which you need. Gather from me what is needed for each day. Partake of me: Learn of my patience, Receive new vision from the Father, I give to you compassion. You must partake of me. No one can gather for you. My manna is new each day. It is available to those of seek. My body was broken for you. Eat fully of my ways. I am a reflection of the Father. We are one. Eat the bread, my life. Eat my bread. Eat fully. I am the manna in the wilderness. I am the bread of life.

My voice calls. My voice is clear and never wavers. I call out to all my creation. Come near to me. My voice is for those who would hear. Hear my voice. Hear my voice and prosper. Grow in me. I hear my children. Many call my name and Wonder why I do not answer. You cry out to me in this time of trouble And yes, I do hear you and I have Not removed myself. It is a time to come closer. Come to me. Do not move away in fear or shame of failure. I hear your cries And await for you. Seek me now. Respond to my word that your heart not be shielded, but be yielded to me. My voice still calls. I offer direction for growth. I offer wholeness through my son.

So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city. Then the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. So I spoke to those in captivity of all the things the LORD had shown me. Ezekiel 11:22-25 (NKJV) Paul said we are to follow the true way, the examples we have had set before us. We are his ambassadors, those sent out to a foreign country to represent to will of our king. We are only sent with the authority we have from being close to our king. Being sent out into the world, we are called back to once more sit with the King. Our wills and ways are to be conformed in his. We see that Ezekiel was sent out with a message. He was carried by heavenly creatures that had also showed him t...

Look for me and you will find me. Seek me, so I might expand my ways into your existence. Do not fear the gathering clouds, nor be afraid of the mighty claps of thunder. I am in the coming storms. Look for my face, So I might be found. My ways are to express who I am And what I wish to be doing. Gather yourselves and recognize me. My spirit moves about as the wind. It flows across the face of the earth Combing out that which is past, dried and dead, to make room for new growth. Look for me each morning. Arise early. Invite me into your day. Allow me to encourage you. My ways become recognizable to those who seek me. Know me and fear is cast away. I am love. My spirits search for those I can show myself. Do not become distressed by what you see. My judgments are to bring others into my kingdom. I reign over all. Do not be surprised when the severe storms approach. Stay safe and flourish. Beneath my wings is safety. Gather yourselves unto me.

Do not let the past or your future hold you; But sit secure in me. Let go. Release your grip from the things you hold. Embrace my expectations. Find the fulfillment I have for you.

What is it you feel you have lost? Sit with me and allow my presence to replenish your lack. Come closer to me I am available. What is it that causes you to feel distance from me, but the lies of the accuser? I am the truth. I am the Father of all things. I am the seeker of those who call to me. In your weakness and lack, I can provide. I have created you with a need to know me. In me you lack nothing. I am the bread which sustains all life and the water that cleanses all impurity. I am the God who is calling you. I am the quiet voice who leads you into situations so my ways can be demonstrated. I am the storm which turns you back from trouble, redirecting your pathway so I can provide. You are not lost nor abandoned by me. I seek your welfare and provision. In me lies all creativity and newness. I am the light which nurtures. Sit beneath my wings. Allow me to shield you from the arrows and traps of the deceiver. I am life. From within me there is no accusation. Learn my ways. Experien...

Let us not be found as an accuser. We clearly see from the first chapter of Job that Satan is our accuser. He is our chief adversary and accuser before God and others. In John 6:70, Jesus speaks of Judas as one who is of the evil one and a false accuser. Let us leave accusation behind and press forward into the vision of Jesus. We need spiritual discernment. Let us see with the redeeming eyes of our heavenly Father. Our goal would be that all come to Him. We can easily tell when things are wrong. Injustice and wrong-doing are visible to our human senses. I know when I am in sin. At that point, I need help and not an accusing word. It is a word of God that points the way to redemption. He shows and provides a way out of the traps and snares we have meandered into. We who are spiritual should be restoring (Galatians 6:1). We should be teaching others righteous spiritual ways. Prayer is to be our portion. It allows us to be in relationship with our Father and discern His heart. We are to...

It is true that I am unchanging. Yet those who know me will see more. There are expressions of my love and direction for you to explore. I have not changed. You will experience more in me. As you learn my names I will expand your concept of who I am. I am unchanging. All you learn more of me and my heart will be ever-changing. I will deliver from evil those who trust in me. I am the hope of those who leave their own ways and seek what pleases me. I am the healer to those in need. Receive my direction and correction for your life. I have not changed my desire for relationship. I have not limited my authority. I am truth and life, to those who will release their will into mine. I am the God of multiplication. Factor me into your life. You can experience liberation and wholeness. Allow me to touch your life. Allow me to touch the lives of others through what I will show you. I am the unchanging fire by night. There is no fear or condemnation within the illumination of my light. Yet on the...

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...
