RECORD THE VISION, WRITE IT!

As a past resident of both Los Angeles and Northern California, I’m greatly concerned for the people struggling through these fiery challenges. While much of California is burning, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “WRITE IT.”

A couple of days ago when the fires started, the Spirit of the Lord began to say something about the current devastation being brought upon much of Southern California. Many more are also patiently waiting for the Spirit of the Lord to speak a prophetic message pertaining to the many fires burning in the Golden State. By His Spirit, the Lord is drawing the other sheep that don’t know Him to His side and He’ll allow and do whatever it takes to corral them in.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. KJV 

OUR TRUE WRESTLING MANDATE
As damaging as the current fires in California are, they are the least of the mounting levels of spiritual warfare that are being released in the Earth at this time. It is a time to grab arms with our brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ. A time to embrace what we know we’re called and gifted to be doing. Our wrestling is not to be with each other but many fall for it and do. It’s merely the enemy’s warfare that causes this wrestling with one-another. These are only ungodly distractions to keep us away from our ministry unto the Lord.

 Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

HIS FIRE IN YOUR BONES
“This is a fresh time of the drawing out of the lost, even the lost within My Church says the Spirit of the Lord.” So, just as you’re seeing the fires throughout California kindle the brush and dead wood, I’m now kindling My Fire from within and many shall come to my Holy Name.” 

As much as you’re seeing a vision of fires in California, “I’m now constantly causing a drawing in by My Spirit says the Lord.” The fires are a sign for the Body of Christ and the people of the world to get HOT for GOD - ON FIRE FOR JESUS! There is a Holy excitement that is coming into God’s people that is going to cause them to be mighty witnesses for Him. The Spirit of the Lord says, “I’m about to give out supernatural bone marrow transplants. Not only shall My fire be felt from within but physical healings shall also increase.” This is what the prophet Jeremiah spoke of in Jeremiah 20:9: that the very word of the Lord would cause a burning in the hearts of His people to such a degree that it would be as a fire SHUT UP IN HIS BONES. 

 Jer 20:9 But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay]. KJV 

GOD’S PLAN
God, by His Spirit, is also drawing many out of the bleachers and pews of their own self-ambition where complacency has set in. He is, additionally, calling many leaders off of their scheduled agendas where they minister to large crowds. He is causing an eternal shifting in their messages. Their message will now be directed to the lost, dying, starving and naked in our very country. This supernatural, Sovereign alteration in their messages will cause the people of God to go to the streets of their own cities. Many shall be led by their head Pastors and leaders heading up the charge. This a time for the body of Christ to once again arise to the challenge to not only feed the affected people of California food for the stomach, but it’s a time for the spiritual food of the Lord Jesus to come forth. It’s a time to inform them of our blessed Savior that can not only save them from further devastation but to inform them of the Son of God that can deliver them into eternal Glory with Him. Just as “Hurricane Katrina” hit the State of Louisiana, God has once again allowed the State of California another chance to acknowledge the creator of the Universe. This is a vision of the re-kindling that the Spirit of the Lord wants in our hearts for Him. 

Hab 2:1-3 What's God going to say to my questions? I'm braced for the worst. I'll climb to the lookout tower and scan the horizon. I'll wait to see what God says, how he'll answer my complaint. And then GOD answered: "Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what's coming. It aches for the coming--it can hardly wait! And it doesn't lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time.  

Hab 2:7 Indeed, how long before your victims wake up, stand up and make you the victim?  

Hab 2:9-11 “Who do you think you are – recklessly grabbing and looting, living it up, acting like king of the mountain, acting above it all, above trials and troubles? You’re engineered the ruin of your own house. In ruining others, you’ve ruined yourself. You’ve undermined your foundations, rotted out your own soul. The bricks of your house will speak up and accuse you. The woodwork will step forward with evidence.

Hab 2:13-14
Don't you know that GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies makes sure nothing comes of that but ashes, Makes sure the harder you work at that kind of thing, the less you are? Meanwhile the earth fills up with awareness of GOD's glory as the waters cover the sea. 

Hab 2:18 "What's the use of a carved god so skillfully carved by its sculptor? What good is a fancy cast god when all it tells is lies? What sense does it make to be a pious god-maker who makes gods that can't even talk?  

Hab 2:20 "But oh! GOD is in his holy Temple! Quiet everyone--a holy silence. Listen!" MSG

GOD OUR VISIONARY
In whatever form of trials we encounter in this life, it is only allowed by His Sovereignty, and is a distinct pattern He is building from within us to trust Him more. 

The Lord is now casting out His fishing line in a familiar but more increased format. He is getting the attention of the people of His Church and the nations. First of all, for the Church to arise from within to a place they’ve never flowed in before - a place of quick repentance, a place of quick forgiveness. So the people of God can with clear conscience go and love on the lost outside the four walls of the Church. This is the heavenly vision from the Lord and without it, not only do the people of God perish but surely those without God perish. 

 Pro 29:18 Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.  KJV 

GOD OUR DELIVERER
We must remember God doesn’t always bring us into fiery trials but, through our continued disobedience He may allow them. God is our deliverer and just as in past history, California has been known for a place of great abundance through the “California Gold-Rush.” God, now in His Sovereignty, is once again drawing men and women from within. There is a type of Gold that is coming out these fiery trials for the State of California. California shall be called, “The State of God.” 

This Gold represents a people who by faith have totally trusted in God and God alone. Through these fiery trials God, by His Spirit, is causing a “Faith-Rush” that is going to bring about Spiritual-Gold (FAITH) through His refinement process. 

Hollywood is about to start trusting God like never before. “Yes, many movies will be made highlighting this current devastation but it too shall be a drawing of My Spirit,” says the Spirit of the Lord. “Just as most recently you’ve seen an increase of My name referenced within television and movies, you shall see My Name once again mentioned even in the credits,” says the Spirit of the Lord! 

 Dan 3:17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us]...  KJV 

CHOOSE GOD
The Lord has every flame under control. The flames are under the control of the Author and Finisher of our faith. “This is a controlled burn. Many will ask, ‘Why did God allow that church to burn down?’“

The answer is, “So I can build a bigger building to help contain, train and send out the new ones coming into My Kingdom. Many choices shall be made to serve Me in these hours of trials,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: KJV

THE FIRE OF HIS LOVE

Just as we’re not to run from the fire of God but to embrace it, there shall be a “Frontal Assault” by the fire fighters that will be directed by the Spirit of the Lord. The winds of the Lord shall be at their backs. The Spirit of the Lord has caused His winds to blow in a direction that will blow the fires back to where they’ve come from. A place where there is nothing left to burn, ALL unrighteousness must burn so we may have a true Spirit of Burning for Him. The Spirit of the Lord is wanting us to be His burning members not burn-out embers, the Spirit of Burning shall soon come from within us and upon us. 

Heb 12:29 For our God [is] a consuming fire.  

This is a time like never before to go to the highways and byways of our cities and compel people to know the Glorious Love of our Jesus. We still have much to learn of HIS Love; but when we begin to grow in more of His love, we shall begin to truly love our neighbors. It’s a time to share the Love of God, to feed the hungry and starving as well as the spiritually hungry. “Many shall come into My Kingdom,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

Luk 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.  KJV

HIS SOVEREIGNTY
May we now be open to the fact that the fires in California just might be a sign and a wonder from God, chosen by Him before the foundation of the world. So the things we now see, believe it or not, may not only have been chosen before the foundation of the world, but they are also now being revealed in the Earth to and for us to know of His Sovereign plan.

1 Cor 15:46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.   KJV

Let us not judge the Righteous Judge that is judging not only the land of our hearts but the very land we live in. God’s heart is still the same yesterday, today and forever, that none shall perish. 

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   KJV
