WILL YOU STAY IN THE FIRE AND RECEIVE YOUR NEW ATTIRE?

Recently I was taken into a vision in a time of corporate worship.It was deeply personal, and I questioned the Lord as to whether I should shareit. He told me, yes, many were experiencing trials by fire and questioning whatwas happening.

In the vision, I was in a setting that was very dark; it seemedlike a cave of sorts. I sensed there were others, but only saw dim shapes. All Icould see clearly were angels of fire. I was on my knees with my handsupraised, a position of worship. There were many sounds; rumblings as distant thunder,deep sounds of indecipherable voices that seemed to reverberate throughout mywhole being. The angels of fire were going to the different people in the roomand dropping flames on our heads and hands. When I received the fire, I felt itgo deep within. I sensed there were things being purged from me, although I wasnot aware of specifics. I began to hear horses thundering. Next I saw the angelsof fire riding fiery horses throughout what I sensed in my spirit were enemycamps. In the next scene, I was spent and weakened and could barely lift myhands. I was now clothed in a white garment shimmering with what I can onlydescribe as radiant glory. Two very large angels of glowing white came to meand each took one of my hands and lifted me up. I sensed it was now time to besent forth.

I was disturbed by the darkness and fire, my natural mindthinking it represented hell. Holy Spirit brought to mind the following verses:

"And ofthe angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers aflame of fire."" (Hebrews 1:7 NKJV)

"Cloudsand darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitationof his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies roundabout." (Psalm 97:2-3 KJV)

As I sought the Lord further, I heard, “I am preparing My burning ones, to burn with pure white heat from the mercy seat. For in My mercy My fire comes to purge from My people what the enemy has done. No longer will they be under his thumb, but doing the will of the Almighty One. Angels have been and are being released to the sons and daughters that I am sending forth in days to come. For a fire is set and will be still, to accomplish My eternal will. Much is at stake, so much will be surrendered, in order for My justice to be fully rendered. By purity of heart and soul, My sons and daughters will be made whole. I am sending forth messengers of fire for My Bride will be in Holy attire. Be ready, alert, in submission to Me, the fire I bring will set many free. Many want all things made new, but aren’t willing to let My flame burn through, removing everything not of Me until My Son others see. Will you stay in the fire and receive white attire? Will you stay in My flame and receive a new name?”

As I pondered these things, Holy Spirit reminded me that whenJesus submitted to the Father’s will at the beginning of His ministry (thetemptations in the wilderness) and at the end of His ministry (the garden ofGethsemane), afterward the angels came and ministered to Him. (Matt. 4:10-11;Luke 22:40-43)

I heard the Lord say, “When you submit fully to My ways and My will, I send messengers of fire from My Holy Hill. Those who are willing to stay under My hand, they will go forth and possess the land.”

"But towhich of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I makeYour enemies Your footstool"? Are they not all ministering spirits sentforth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:13-14NKJV)

In this instance, the word salvation does not just mean savedfor heaven. According to Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, it means deliverance,preservation and safety, and includes all the blessings given through ourinheritance in Christ Jesus.

Holy Spirit sent me to Daniel 7 where a fiery scene was setas the Ancient of Days was seated, and the court was seated, and the booksopened, and war was made against the saints; where the kingdom of darkness speakspompous words against the Most High, persecuting the saints and tries to changeGod’s times and laws. Yet the Lord God Almighty will reign and His dominion isgiven to His people for an everlasting Kingdom. It is necessary to submit toGod and allow His fire to purify us.

"Manyshall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly;and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand."(Dan. 12:10, NKJV)

“Beloved, noware we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but weknow that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him ashe is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as heis pure." (1 John 3:2-3 KJV)

There is a wisdom that comes from going through trials with the Lord, trusting Him beyond thecircumstances, knowing that He isgood and works all things together for good, in accomplishing His purpose ofconforming us to the image of Christ. (Rom. 8:28-29) We are exhorted in 1 Peter1:6-7 and 4:12-13, to recognize the purpose of fiery trials, for our faith tocome forth as gold, unto praise, honor and glory as Christ is revealed! Gold isrefined in fire, for impurities to be removed.

"And Iwill bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver isrefined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and Iwill hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is myGod." (Zechariah 13:9 KJV)

Jesus tells us to buy from Him gold tried by fire, white raiment and to have our eyes anointed with eyesalve (Rev. 3:18). When we stay submitted to Him during the trials, there is a fresh anointing that we receive by the Spirit to see as He sees.  We often see our situations through the eyes of the flesh or soul, how we think it should look, how we want it to look. We cry out, "LORD, I want to be like you; You are a consuming fire, remove everything not of You!" But when we go through trials we don’t realize that they are an answer to our prayers. He is bringing to the surface those things in us that need to be removed, for more of His glory to fill us!

It is time for the Bride to make herself ready for themarriage of the Lamb, to receive our new attire!

"Let usbe glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb iscome, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that sheshould be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is therighteousness of saints.” (Revelation 19:7-8 KJV)

The Lord is setting up His government on the earth. Even asJoshua the high priest stood before the angel of the Lord with satan standingto resist him, The Lord Himself rebuked satan and said that Joshua was a brandplucked from the fire. He was given new garments, and an angel told him, “Thussaith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep mycharge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, andI will give thee places to walk among these that stand by." (Zechariah 3:7KJV)

I am hearing, “Will you stay in My fire? Allow Me to go deep into the places where the enemy has camped, even in generations past, that My purpose for your bloodline can be reset in accordance with My timing. Will you submit to My ways?”

""Isnot My word like a fire?" says the LORD, "And like a hammer thatbreaks the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29 NKJV)

“Will you allow My fire to cleanse your bloodline, to burn away the iniquitous root, breaking apart faulty structure and mindsets, errors in doctrine and traditions of man, family narratives recounted that are in opposition to My plans? Will you allow Me to go deep and consume all that the world has made you, and build you up into My original intent? Will you submit to My fire and become so intimate with Me that you know My ways and My heart, seeing through My eyes and being directed by the slightest movement of My breath upon your soul? I am preparing a people to carry My glory, freed from desire to make it their story.  Will you trust Me and submit to the fire, wearing My glory as your attire? (Rev. 3:4-5; 19:7-8)

“Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tree, as you were feasting upon me, I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth as you longed for more of me. Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore.” (Song of Songs 8:5-7, The Passion Translation)
