Fire on the Mountain

 

A word from the Lord for the body of Christ

 

Deuteronomy 4:11  And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the very heart of the heavens: darkness, cloud and think gloom.

 

     Verse 12:  Then the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form-only a voice.

 

 

     Just as God had called Israel to the mountain of the Lord to remind them of His covenant that He commanded them to perform (that is His Commandments) and how the Lord told them not to act corruptly and make no graven image for themselves, so is the Lord calling us.

 

     God had tried to speak to Israel through the fire, but they could not see Him and they did not recognize His voice.  They were a rebellious, idolatrous and stubborn people and they followed after strange gods and strange fire.  Time and time again God would manifest Himself to them, deliver them from their enemies, provide for them and still they continued in their sin and rebellion. But there came a time when God said enough is enough and judgement came and because of their disobedience they wondered in the wilderness for forty years.

 

     Are we any different from them?  God says NO! 

 

     The Lord has blessed His people, (the church) and we have seen and herd of many outpourings of the Holy Spirit in days gone by.  We have read how God visited His church with signs, wonders and miracles and maybe you have even experienced it. But there is a sound I hear that is calling us to go up to the mountain of the Lord so we can experience his fire, because there is a consuming fire that we have not seen.  This fire will be a fire for the cleansing of His body, a fire for purification, a fire that will burn out everything that is not of Him that will be superseded by the repentance of His people.

 

     And for those that will allow the fire to come into their lives, and for those who will seek the Lord with all of their heart and with all of their soul, and if they will repent and turn back to their first love, then He will visit you and fill you with His Holy fire. For our God is a consuming fire and He wants to consume you so there is nothing left of the flesh.  And so the Spirit calls:

 

      Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths. Isaiah 2:3

 

     Beloved, He wants to meet you there.  He wants to teach you and equip you for what is about to take place in this world and the only way we will be ready is by going up to the mountain.  There He can speak to you, instruct you and give you the battle plan and strategy to fight the enemy. Things are winding down fast and the enemy is going to try and knock you off of the path the Lord as set for you, because there is a spirit of deception that has come into the church and seduced the people of God. They have been lulled to sleep by the enemy so they could not hear and they sit in a stooper so they can not move.  But when God says enough and trouble seems to be on every side we know that this is when God can show Himself strong.

     For out of the ashes of fire shall come a people filled with fire in their eyes, fire in their belly and fire shut up in their bones. And my word shall go forth out of their mouth like flames of fire that will burn through the deception and lies of the enemy...it will burn out the shaft from the wheat and there will not even be the smell of smoke on them...for it will be a pure word, a sure word of prophecy that will exalt Jesus to the stature He deserves and all those who have been exalted above Jesus will fall from their towers of pride and exaltation because He will not share the glory with any man....and those who will humble themselves and come to my altar I will pour the incense of heaven upon them and it will be a sweet smell of the Holy Spirit.

     Hear what the Spirit is saying...pray and ask Him to show you the revelation of what He has just said because He wants to show each of you something new and different.
