                               Fire wall


I stood in the midst of what appeared to be great flames. They were all
around me. I could almost smell the intensity of the heat as it lapped at
my feet. The flames were so hot. The flame at the base was blue in 
color. The fire appeared to just surround me until it encircled me
completely. Just as I looked through the flames they began to grow taller
and taller until the flames surrounded me like a 20 ft. wall.  I was not
alone their were others and many young people in the fire wall.  

In desperation I cried out to the Lord...."Help me please that I might not 
die in this way Oh Lord".....  Let us not burn like this but cause this fire 
to be extinguished.  

Then I heard Him say;

   This fire I will not extinguish! I have placed this wall of fire as a
   protection around you. This fire will not only protect you but it will
   also refine and purify you as well. All that is not Holy will be burnt
   away. Your flesh will die,  your plans will die, and your preconceived
   ideas will die but your Spirit will be perfectly formed as the image of
   My Son...
   
   For My word says "I the Lord will be as a wall of fire around her and
   will be the glory within her midst come forth and flee from the land of
   the north says the Lord for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of
   the heavens."
   
   This fire will protect you from the evil one.  This fire is called "fear
   of the Lord."  When you fear Me you protect yourself with a cloak of
   humility. The deceiver is full of ungodly fear for He knows his end is
   near. His fear has torment for he knows what awaits him. You also must
   know what awaits you. 
   
   It is the fear of Me in you that surrounds you and keeps the enemy from
   snaring you with his deceitful ways.  He knows his time is short and he
   knows you cannot be snatched from My hand so he uses ungodly fear to
   ensnare the lost and to bring discouragement to My people. As they see
   their lost loved ones deceived he brings discouragement,  but you my
   beloved must be full of the Fear of God and allow this fire to blaze
   about you and cleanse what is not holy, what is not acceptable and what
   is not the will of God for your life.  Perfect Love casts out fear.  This
   fire is Love.
   
   Allow me to cleanse your house, your thoughts, your tongue and your heart
   with the fire of truth that you may be refined and made pure by the Holy
   one of Israel, the ancient of days,  the one who sent down fire from
   heaven to lap up the water and destroy the prophets of Baal and once
   again prove I am who I am and I rain where I reign.
   
   I will rain on this land again and again.  I will rain down with the
   water of refreshing where the land is parched and dry and I will rain
   down the water of life for those who are dead in sin and I will rain down
   the fire of  refinement for those who desire intimacy with me for the
   place of intimacy is a holy place.
   
   The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom  and I will
   cause you to know Me, to be wise in Me and to be the bride of 
   refinement. Pure and undefiled ready to meet her groom.
    
   Look to the South, the North, the West and the East...See now that My
   fire is igniting and reigning in what seems unusual places and the wall
   of fire is sweeping the nations. My prophets are declaring the Word of
   truth and causing the prophets of Baal to be exposed ready for their
   destruction.
   
   See the salvation of many who were once away from their destiny in Me, 
   who were homeless upon the land and now have Eternal life in Me for it is
   the last days and I am raining down fire on the Children that they might
   be Holy and pure.  
   
   Call forth for the young to come and receive the Fire of My spirit.
   Fulfill your call and impart to the end days generation  the fire that
   cannot be extinguished. I am the one who fans the flames of obedience and
   passion and I will cause wave after wave of passion for My son to rise up
   in this generation that they would carry the flame through to the last
   day.  
   
   I will purify your hearts and drench you in my presence that you will be
   wholly mine and filled with wisdom and knowledge in the Word of life.
