Welcome The Fire
-----

Welcome the fire, for the fire brings forth beauty that declares who I AM. The fire brings forth seeds that were always there but lay dormant under the things of life.

Just as in the natural a fire causes new growth and amazing beauty and declares the miraculous of the creator, so it is with my Holy Spirit fire.

The fire burns up the things of the flesh so that others will see the miraculous that declares who I AM.......and I AM glorified.

Be patient in the fire, for in due season you shall see the glory of my hand. For you see this is not about who you are but it's about declaring who I AM so that all men will see me and be saved.

Do not think that the enemy has done this; for I myself have allowed it to be. In your anger, hurt, and despair turn to me and see the deliverance of my hand. My arm is not to short to save.

I am the Lord that healeth thee; I am your provider. Look to me, trust in me, and see that your deliverance is near, says the Lord. Trust ME and obey for it truly is My Way, declares the Lord. Take what you have and at my instruction pour it out. Then see my glory fill the earth, says the Lord.

After receiving this word, I felt it was meant not only for me but the body as well.
