Rivers of Living Fire

The Spirit of the Lord is moving—working in mystery, power, and mercy. And wherever God works, miracles are inevitable. Do you not see it? The Spirit does not move silently in the shadows; He bursts forth like torrents of water in a ravine after a thunderstorm (John 7:38). These are not the gentle streams of human effort, but divine outpourings that confirm the gospel with fire, life, and proof.

In this hour, beloved, we must covet earnestly the best gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31). What better gift than that which testifies to the truth of Christ and draws souls into the kingdom? It is time for the church not to settle for formality but to hunger for power. Life is more than breath—it is the impartation of God’s Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6).

God is not a passive spectator to our brokenness. He is the Giver and Sustainer of life, the One who opens prison doors and binds the wounds of the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1). He is not waiting for you to fix yourself before He fills you—He is the One who fills, the One who heals, the One who overflows.

But beware the deception of self-rule. Many today believe they can declare, decree, and demand. But when the “I” is placed in the center of “run,” we begin to ruin. When man tries to take the throne, he dethrones the God who made him. This is the seduction of modern faith without lordship. We must return to servanthood, not sovereignty.

Measure yourself, not by your neighbor, not by your church leader, but by the Christ who is God’s perfect man (Luke 18:9-14). He is the pattern, the prototype, the plan. If you want to know why you were made, look to Him. In Christ, we see God’s ideal fully realized.

And yet, in the darkness of this age, there is a call for discernment. The Antichrist rises behind veils of diplomacy and economic reform. He will eliminate currency, change laws, and seek to control not only nations but the very soul of man. But God will preserve His remnant—those not dependent on the systems of man, those who walk by the Spirit and not by sight.

O Church, you are called to discern spirits, to weigh fruit, to test the voices. Many cry “faith!” but breed destruction. Many cry “healing!” but leave death in their wake. You must test what you hear against what God has said.

Do not despise the day of small beginnings, nor mourn because not all are healed. Even Jesus, in some places, healed many but not all (Mark 1:32-34). The Spirit distributes as He wills. We must rejoice in what He does, rather than accuse Him of what He withholds.

Lift your eyes, for the harvest is great and the gifts are waiting. Covet them not for pride, but for purpose. For as you step out in the works of the Spirit, you step into the joy of God’s divine dance in the earth.

Thrones, Tribes, and Travail

The throne of God is not vacant. Christ has not abandoned His people, and He is not silent in this hour. He stands even now as our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14), bearing our names upon His heart. Just as the priests of old bore the tribes of Israel on jeweled breastplates, so does Jesus carry the church in His eternal intercession.

Prayer is not a ritual—it is a lifeline. It is through prayer that God delivers His strength, His wisdom, and His voice. In these last days, we cannot afford to pray half-heartedly. This is the era of bold agreement, of two or more touching heaven to shift earth (Matthew 18:18-19).

But what of the family? What of the crumbling covenant of marriage? The husband fears manipulation, and the wife despairs in submission. Yet the cross does not call for competition—it calls for crucifixion of the self. Love must rise not from pride but from death. Only then can resurrection power enter the home.

We live in a world racing toward tribulation. Over six billion souls tread the earth, and still it multiplies. Yet famine looms. Hunger increases. As demand rises, supply shrinks. It is no accident. The judgments of Revelation inch closer. One-third of the fresh waters poisoned. Globalism tightening its grip. Nations surrendering sovereignty to foreign laws and powers. And behind it all, the spirit of Antichrist.

Do not fear, saints. For even in Jacob’s trouble, God has appointed preservation. The sealed remnant of Israel will endure (Revelation 7:3). God will not forsake His elect.

But woe to those who follow signs without discernment. There are many today who have replaced the Word with wonders. One couple, in blind obedience to a man, removed their diabetic child from medicine to “claim healing.” The child died. The man walked free. Do not trade the cross for charisma. Let truth be your foundation.

Let me say this plainly—my opinion means nothing. What matters is what God says. There are questions I will not answer unless the Word has spoken, for speculation is sand and only revelation is rock.

Language, too, is a covenant. Words mean nothing unless we agree upon them. So it is with the gospel: unless our hearts agree with God’s Word, we cannot commune with Him. Revival is not a matter of emotion—it is a matter of alignment.

Let God rule over you, as Gideon once refused kingship in humility (Judges 8:23). Let the Spirit lead, not the flesh. For when the trumpet sounds, we shall be changed in a moment (1 Corinthians 15:51). Not for heaven only, but to be forever with the Lord. That is our promise. That is our hope.

And until that day, may God impart gifts of healing, discernment, and boldness to His church. May we be a people ready—not ruled by fear, but aflame with love, filled with the Spirit, and obedient to the call.
