FIRE
BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You,
in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of
cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of
fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go"....
Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
FEBRUARY 9TH
THE VISION OF THE GIANT AIRCRAFT
VISION:
The
Father showed me a vision of a giant aircraft [much
bigger than a 747 jet]. I saw Jesus piloting the jet, and I also saw
that there was a co-pilot sitting beside Him. There was a terrible storm raging
during the descent for landing. I noticed that the jet was being flown totally
by "radar" [aeronautical instruments]
- for the "storm" made it was impossible to function or operate
by the five physical senses. Regardless of the chaotic weather outside I had
perfect peace that the landing would go very smoothly.
That Father spoke to me and said:
The
giant aircraft is representative of the true Third Day ministries that I am
raising up in this very hour - "ministries" that will abide in the
high places ["face to face" with Me],
and continually move with great speed and precision.
...."COME
AND let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has
stricken so that He may bind us up. After two days He will revive us [quicken
us, give us life]; on the third day He will raise us up that we may live
before Him ["face to face"].
[Isa. 26:19; Ezek. 37:1-10.] Yes, let us know [recognize, be acquainted with,
and understand] Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord [to appreciate, give
heed to, and cherish Him]. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn,
and He will come to us as the [heavy] rain, as the latter rain that waters the
earth".... Hosea 6:1-3 The Amplified Translation
The fact
that Jesus was sitting in the pilot's seat refers to the spiritual reality that
He is Lord [and, thus, in total control]
over the Church, and that ALL true works must go through Him, and Him alone
...."I
am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much
[abundant] fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you
can do nothing".... John 15:5 The Amplified Translation
The
"co-pilot" was representative of My true Third Day ministers [and ministries] - those whose hearts are wholly
given to Me and, therefore, to My highest purposes concerning the establishment
of a "spotless and unblemished" Church. The fact that the co-pilot
was seated right next to Jesus refers to the spiritual reality that they are
seated [spiritually] with Christ at My
right hand [the Ascension Life - which is the place
of ALL true authority and power].
...."[For
I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that
He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries
and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of
your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to
which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints
(His set-apart ones), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the
immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us
who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He
exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own]
right hand in the heavenly [places], Far above all rule and authority and power
and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be
conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the
world which are to come. And He has put all things under His feet and has
appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship
exercised throughout the church], [Ps. 8:6.] Which is His body, the fullness of
Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who
makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with
Himself]".... Ephesians 1-17-23 The Amplified Translation
The
"terrible storm" is representative of the great turmoil and
"storms" caused by the Enemy and his forces [in many cases through a stubborn and rebellious people]
- his plan being to disrupt My faithful ones and, thus, keep them in a place
apart from My divine order and true Kingdom-position for their life and
ministry. My holy ones are battling through "chaotic" circumstances [caused by both soulish and physical attack] in
this hour BUT, in these days, I shall release them from the "ties that
bind", and they shall enter into the high place [true spiritual environments] that I, Myself, have established
for them - and they will NEVER look back from now until the end of the age.
...."Then
they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And He brought them out of their
distresses. He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were
hushed. Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He guided them to their
desired haven".... Psalms 107:28-30 NASB
...."And He
said to another, Become My disciple, side with My party, and accompany Me! But
he replied, Lord, permit me first to go and bury [await the death of] my
father. But Jesus said to him, Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as
for you, go and publish abroad throughout all regions the kingdom of God.
Another also said, I will follow You, Lord, and become Your disciple and side
with Your party; but let me first say good-bye to those at my home. Jesus
said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things
behind] is fit for the kingdom of God".... Luke 9:59-62 The
Amplified Translation
"chaotic" - completely
confused or disordered; tumultuous; great turmoil;
The fact that
the plane was about to "land" is representative of the spiritual
reality that I am about to "unwrap"
[uncover] many gifts and callings [true
ministries] in the midst of My remnant Church [those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom],
and their impact will immediately bring about two things. First, a wave of holy
fire will be released [through the words they speak
- and, indeed, their very presence] that will bring a strong spirit
of conviction, and this will lead to a deep and thorough repentance by many
who, up until this time, have continued to "hold part back" from Me.
The first fruit of this "holy fire" will be a deep hungering and
thirsting after righteousness [holiness].
The second fruit of this wave of holy fire [My
Presence] will be divine restoration and healing [both spiritually and physically] such as My
Church has never seen or experienced before. It shall be the greatest release
of My Love the earth has EVER seen, and the fruit of this outpouring will not
only purify My Church to a "spotless and unblemished" state but the
superabundant overflow will immediately begin to "turn the world upside
down" - and, because of these things, MANY captives will be set gloriously
free. Truly I say to you, WHOSOEVER has a heart that is even remotely
"towards" Me in this final hour shall be "saved" [be set free and enter into the "fullness" of true
Covenant-relationship with Me], and they will immediately turn on
Satan and his forces - in the power of My Spirit.
...."Therefore,
since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by
which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our
God is a consuming fire".... Hebrews 12:28-29 NASB
...."For
behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and
every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,
says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But
for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in
its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. You
will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet
on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts".... Malachi
4:1-3 NASB
...."Blessed
and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous [in that state in which the
born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation] are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness [uprightness and right standing with God], for
they shall be completely satisfied! [Isa. 55:1, 2.]".... Matthew 5:6 The
Amplified Translation
...."And it
shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring,
and worshiping the Lord - Christ] shall be saved [Joel 2:28-32.]".... Acts
2:21 The Amplified Translation
The strong
sense of peace that the co-pilot had is representative of the spiritual reality
that I am indeed responsible for the "safety" of My people - for it
is part of their Covenant with Me, and not only will I keep the one whose heart
is wholly given safe I will cause them to "land" in the perfect place
in this hour at the perfect time - according to My highest plan and purpose.
...."I
will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help
comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to
slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel Will
neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on
your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The
LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will
guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and
forever"..... Psalms 121:1-8 NASB
The fact
that the aircraft [jet] was being flown
by "radar" [aeronautical instruments], and that it was
impossible to function or operate by the five physical senses, is
representative of the fact that I have called My people to "abide" in
revelation knowledge and an absolute faith [working
through a perfect love - manifesting in a perfect obedience] thereby
abiding in the place wherein they continually judge NOT by appearances BUT with
a righteous judgement [discernment].
...."For
we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction
or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust
and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance [but by
revelation]".... 2 Corinthians 5:7 The Amplified Translation
...."Do not
judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment".... John
7:24 NASB
Summary from the Father:
The
fact that Jesus is on the plane and, therefore, "landing with it" is
representative of the fact that He is coming TO His Church before He comes FOR
His Church.
...."Now,
will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night,
and will He delay long over them? "I tell you that He will bring about
justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find
faith on the earth?".... Luke 18:7-8 NASB
...."Seek,
inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by
necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake
his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord,
and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God, for He will multiply
to him His abundant pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are
your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as
the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but
water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to
the sower and bread to the eater, [II Cor. 9:10.] So shall My word be that goes
forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any
effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and
it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out [from
the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be
led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the
mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the
cypress tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; and it
shall be to the Lord for a name of renown, for an everlasting sign [of jubilant
exaltation] and memorial [to His praise], which shall not be cut
off".... Isaiah 55:6-13 The Amplified Translation
