There was a song several years ago
that had these words, “Thedevil’s in the phone booth, dialing 9-1-1….”. I don’t know thatthe devil uses a phone, but if he does, I’d think he’s dialing 9-1-1right now. There is a church on fire at 172 Poole St. and she’sablaze with the fire of God and he doesn’t like it. He desires to put out the fire. He’ll use every conceivable way of doing it.He’ll cause you to be “busy” so that you can’t attend theservices. He’ll cause you to be “distracted” so you won’t focuson what God saying or doing. He’ll create confusion so thatyou’ll be hesitant in becoming a “fire-walker”. Do not beignorant of the devil’s devices.
I challenged you on Saturday night
to “guard your heart”. Theenemy of our soul knows full well and our heart drives us in howwe deal with the issues of life. If he can attack your heart, divideyour heart, confuse your heart….. he can keep you fromexperiencing the fullness of what God wants to do in your lifeand in our church. Don’t be confused about what is going on.
GOD IS MOVING!!!!! REVIVAL FIRE IS HERE!
We had probably the best prayer meeting Monday night as we have hadin a long time. We had a great number of people, includingyoung people. We prayed until we prayed through and the HolyGhost confirmed our efforts by speaking a word to us throughtongues and the interpretation. He told us that “
He would show us His glory, but He would hide in the cleft of the rock……and He would send the fire.”
What an awesome time we had!You know you are having revival when people are excited toPRAY! Prayer is one of the ways we continue to throw “wood”on the fire so that the fire will never go out (Lev. 6:13).
The Lord also gave me a word
during the prayer time. I hadgone to the sound booth to switch a CD to use during our “purging” time and the Lord began to talk to me. I found a pieceof paper and began to write. This is what the Lord said to me:
“I see you and hear you, says the Lord. However, there are still those among you that do not yet hunger and desire me. Donot let them dissuade you from your pursuit of Me. I have not forgotten the promises I gave to you and I will not be slack concerning My promises. Continue to seek for Me.
Continueto search for Me. Continue to desire Me and I will send an all consuming fire that will leave undeniable and un-reversiblechange. Do not doubt Me. Do not limit Me. Do not forsake Me and I will confound you and all those that are willing towalk into the fire. Do not be afraid. My fire is bringing a purging and a light for these last days. Do not be distracted and caught off guard. The light lies before you so burn for meand let Me use you to fulfill my Word. Have I not spoken and will I not do it, says the Lord.”
I’m imploring all of you to walk straight for the fire. Don’t be afraid of what God is doing. I tell people at the altar, if God is giving this toyou, it will not hurt you nor harm you. What God gives is good. Hey,this fire is from God. It can not hurt you nor harm you. It is good.
HEAD FOR THE FIRE!
That means that you cannot allow anythingto prevent you from being in these services. God is pouring Himself out in fulfilling His promise. But there is work for us to do. We become the catalyst for the fire continuing to burn. We “chop thewood”. He sends the fire, we keep it burning. Feed the fire!!!!!!!Pray, seek God, read His Word, fellowship with others that are on fire,line yourself up to that Word and if something isn’t right, GET ITRIGHT! Pray, seek God, read His Word, fellowship….. and ohyeah….. PRAY, SEEK GOD, READ HIS WORD, FELLOWSHIP!!!!!
