Earthen Vessels

This morning, in my meditations, the Lord was comparing us to the earthen vessels that held the torches that Gideon's Army held. I re-read the scriptures in Judges 6,7, & 8 and the Lord spoke this into my spirit. I submit it for examination by the prophets as it is not just for me.

"I am lighting my torches of fire within the people who hunger and thirst for righteousness. When these lamps are fully lit and burning brightly, My people of one heart with Me will know and at once they will shatter the earthen vessels that contain My fire and presently hide My Glory and the nations will come to see the fire, but the enemy will scatter in fear. Would you be My vessel? Prepare to lay aside every thing that is not of Me.
Humble yourselves, sanctify yourselves. It is not I who will shatter the vessels, but you yourselves as you put aside fleshly desires and pick up the Desire of all Ages. Come now, I am on the move."
