A Vision To Be Transformed

This trip [the current ministry trip] and those of the foreseeable future will carry a call into action for God’s people. Complacency must be replaced with an all consuming vision to be transformed. I believe that right now there is a corporate anointing available to those kingdom-minded Christians who claim their destiny. The Lord has told me (and others) that the baptism of FIRE will come to those who have ears to hear the corporate message of God’s love for His body. I pray the Lord allows me to be a ‘fire starter’ as described herein:
It is time to sound the alarm and let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the ‘day of the Lord is nigh at hand’. This is a day of darkness (just look around) and yet there comes a people who, like the sun that touches the top of a mountain in the morning, promise to bring the brightness of God’s Glory to earth. Joel 2:1-2.
The Lord has said in a direct and forthright manner that this is a day of judgment whereby we must make a stand. The sheep and the goats, within the church, are being separated. The wheat and the tares, within the church, are being revealed for the harvest. For judgment must begin in the house of the Lord. It is the friends of the Bridegroom that are trumpeting out the alarm. The Spirit and Bride say come, fill your lamps with the anointing of a Christ-centered Life which will then show the way through the open door of Christ’s Manifest Sonship.
Put away any and all the gifts that have distracted us from an intimate relationship with the Giver. Allow the sovereignty of God to use the circumstances of your life and transform you from Glory to Glory. For it is through much tribulation that we enter in to the peace-filled and joyous realm of the coming Kingdom of Christ. Are you ready to be a vessel in whom the Lord can appear as flaming fire? (2 Thessalonians 1:8-10) Like Paul, I too pray that we are all counted worthy of this calling.
