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."
