Searing!
8/28/24
According to the dictionary,
searing means extremely hot
as in the searing heat of the
sun. Its other meaning is
severely critical.
This last week the Lord led
me to Daniel 3:19 after
listening to part of someone's speech at the DNC….
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, & the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, & Abed-Nego. He spoke & commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
The Lord spoke early this morning...
“Even as the enemy is turning up the heat on all My children, I AM TURNING UP THE HEAT ON ALL WHO HAVE COMPROMISED THE GOSPEL; those in the church who think that holiness is not important. For many have made their disciples twice the sons of hell that they are - just as when I walked the earth.
I said to walk in the light as I am in the light. I want you to walk in the light of My Glory! You cannot walk in My glory without Me cleaning up your soul. So I MUST come & cleanse you of all that has invaded, making dark places in your souls, strongholds in your minds.
“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, & the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:7 NKJV).
Isaiah 4:3-5 NKJV
3 And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion & remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.
4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, & purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment & by the spirit of burning,
5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, & above her assemblies, a cloud of smoke by day & the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.
Luke 11: 33-36 NKJV The Lamp of the Body
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is [i]good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is [j]bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
“My light shines in the darkness. You are My ambassadors of heaven on earth. Thus My Spirit of burning comes to purify My threshing floors; every individual who has come to Me. For it is time to SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!
So IF you are willing to receive the Spirit of Burning & to be made whole, I will purge you of all that Is unholy, all evil inheritance of the past as well as every chain the enemy has put on you. For I know the church has been compromised, & many have not gotten the teaching or healing that they have needed. Thus I will do it Myself!”
Malachi 3:17 AMPC And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize & openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
2 Corinthians 5:20 NKJV
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
Ezekiel 34:1-9 New King James Version
Irresponsible Shepherds
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 You eat the fat & clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.
4 The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force & cruelty you have ruled them. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd; & they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, & on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, & no one was seeking or searching for them.”
7 ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, & My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves & did not feed My flock”— 9 therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the Lord! 10 Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against the shepherds, & I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, & the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”
“You have heard that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord lifts up a standard against him.
YOU ARE THAT STANDARD THAT I WILL LIFT UP! SO YOU MUST BE MADE WHOLE THAT THE ENEMY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING IN YOU TO HOLD ON TO!
YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. YOU ARE TO SHINE IN THE DARKNESS!
DARKNESS IS HERE, & DEEP DARKNESS INVADES THE PEOPLE! (Isaiah 60)
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THOSE WORDS? WHY IS YOUR FAITH SO SMALL BELOVED. YOU ARE NOT SEEING ME AS I REALLY AM IS WHY!!! There is still UNBELIEF in your heart.
If you really were filled with the knowledge of My love for you then you would not fear, nor be anxious, nor would you be striving because you would know how much I love you & care for every concern of your heart just as a good mother or father is concerned about everything about their child.”
Ephesians 3:16-19 AMPC 16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened & reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being & personality].
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love & founded securely on love,
18 That you may have the power & be strong to apprehend & grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth & length & height & depth [of it];
19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, & become a body wholly filled & flooded with God Himself]!
“For, My LOVE comes through presence. It comes when you worship Me, whatever way you worship. It comes in the reading of the Word, in prayer & meditating on Me & My word. It comes in the doing of My word, when you reach out to others, when you give to the poor, when you lay hands on the sick to pray for them.
It comes when you are cleaning house, or washing clothes, or planting your garden, or cooking dinner, or caring for your sick wife, or going to your job & doing it well, because these are the everyday things I call you to do for you & your family, & neighbors.
Worship is more than just singing songs at church. It is walking with Me in all you do, being obedient to My voice.
It is in being the good Samaritan & it is in doing the little things like giving the gardener a drink of lemonade or cold water!
It is in buying a bible for that Portuguese neighbor or that muslim who lives across the street, if I tell you to! i
Everything you do is part of your ambassadorship in Me.
I AM the ALMIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL & CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS & THE EARTH. Yet I dwell in the praises of My people! It is in this place also I impart to you of My essence, My glory.
I can bring this glory as you rest in bed, just listening to worship without doing anything when you are tired & weak, or sick. It is NOT about striving. It is a HEART issue. Are you thinking of Me? Are you putting me first? Are you abiding?”
Psalm 22:3 AMPC But You are holy, O You Who dwell in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].
Psalm 84:4 AMPC Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who dwell in Your house & Your presence; they will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah [pause, & calmly think of that]!
“The darkness is getting darker, but the light is also getting brighter. So do not give in to the worry or fretting, only PRAY & WORSHIP, Immerse yourself in My Word so that you will remember it when you need it to fight with or to share.”
Pris: Shachah in the hebrew means to bow down. In ancient times it was traditional to bring a sacrifice to your god, not expecting that god to do something for you without an offering/sacrifice. It is showing honor & reverence.
“You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light” (John 12:35-36).
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
“For you have delivered me from death & my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life” (Psalm 56:13).
“Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord” (Psalm 89:15).
