Thought for the week ...

Seeing things through different eyes

12th September 2021

Mark, writing from a quiet place

The River of Fire is coming.

As stated, before in last week’s newsletter, Sunday 5th September.

The River of Fire flowing from The Throne of God and The Lamb (Daniel 7 v 10) will flow amongst us a church family, not to destroy us but to refine us, as a church family, for what The LORD wants to do amongst us and through us in the coming year/s. There are great, exciting and fruitful times ahead for us as a church family as long as we submit to The LORD’s Word, do what it says and remain in Jesus, The True Vine, for apart from Him, we can do nothing. John 15.

Please remember when we talk about fire with regard to refining and judgement towards God’s own people, we are saying The LORD allows the fire not to destroy us, or belittle us, He allows the fire so that we can enjoy more of Him, be closer to Him and because in His love, grace and mercy He wants us to enjoy sweeter fellowship and relationship with The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, the other side of us passing through the fire.

We believe the river of fire is beginning to flow in our direction but it will as stated below in the prophetic Word given to us, start slowly and be flowing at speed as we undertake The WORD without comment part 2 in January 2022 and in the months after.

It may get a bit “hot” and uncomfortable but hold on to Jesus, stay fixed and focused on Him, don’t take your eyes off Him, not for a millisecond. Hebrews 12 v 1-3 reads: -

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

Jesus said originally in the context of His death and resurrection and Him going back to The Father and sending The Holy Spirit: -

“I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe” John 14 v 29.

The LORD tells us beforehand the river of fire is coming because His Mercy is so amazing!! Praise The LORD!

We need to hear, be ready, act upon His instruction in humility and in The Fear of The LORD, repent and seek The LORD, for Jesus is LORD!

Please read and pray and take to heart the words written.

A WORD REGARDING THE RIVER OF FIRE

In prayer before the LORD and in the power of the Holy Spirit I saw a vision of a fire. Flames leaving one point and travelling as if following the path of a maze but without false leads. It travelled slowly at first and gathered speed as it spread from that one point. It seemed as if it was on a very gentle slope almost imperceptible. Nothing was missed by the fire, everything it touched caught alight.

The Spirit of the LORD spoke to me and said “I am starting a fire and it will start here!” “It will be a fire for cleansing and refining” “Listen to what I am saying!”

“My Holy fire will convict all of you. It will burn the weeds and the brambles with which your sins and misdeeds are covered. It will burn down the altars to your false gods, of which you have many. It will burn down and totally destroy your idols, too numerous to count. My fire will seek out your secret sins you thought were not known to me. Your lustful thoughts, your lying words, your pride, your arrogance, your false doctrines and deceitful inclinations. My fire is all consuming”

I felt The voice of the LORD of Hosts said “I will test you before the flames of my justice, I will sear the ground on which you stand but I will not destroy you. My heart is that you be refined by the fire, refined to the finest gold and silver. What had not been totally destroyed by my fire will be removed as dross until I can see my face in the refiner’s bowl. YOU WILL BE MY REFLECTION”

“You are to know this now. This is a Fire of Repentance, a Fire of Redemption, a Fire of Purification, a Fire of Calling, a Fire of the Gospel of Peace. How can you take forth My Word to the lost if you are not refined to reflect My Glory”, says the Lord God of all creation.
