Hello Dear Reader,

I am finally able to have some time to continue our teaching on the "present work of the Holy Spirit!" As I wrote earlier, many are seeking the Holy Spirit for empowering for service, the gifts that He brings and the blessings He provides. This is not wrong for us to do so, for the Bride-to- be sat under the apple tree in Song of Solomon chapter 2 asking for raisins and apples.

Son 2:1-5, I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys. As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters. As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love. Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.

In her present relationship with the Lord, she sees Him as her Provider, her supply, and all that she would need Him to be in her life. She sees the Lord as an apple tree: The place where she get her supply. This would be like our present pentecostal movement, "give me more power, more gifts Lord, more boldness to preach your word." These are wonderful things to ask the Lord for, but He is after so much more from her. He wants to be her Husband.

In this lovely book in the bible she is transformed from a child-like heart of seeking the Lord for Her needs to a the Bride of His choosing after His needs. In her present child-like confession she declares, "My beloved is mine and I am His." This shows us her selfishness in her seeking the Lord for her only her needs. This is normal in the growth of a child, for that is all they can see their parents for when they are young.

If that is all the bride-to-be relationship with her Beloved remains it would not be healthy. A bride is to be a "help-mate" to her husband's needs and desires. The Song of Solomon is a book about that very changes required to be made in her and in us to grow up spiritually into a pure and spotless bride. She must learn to give up her own life, desires and plans, to become what her husband would need her to be. Beloved, this is why so many marriages, even Christians ones fail! The two never become one in heart, purpose or desire.

That is where most of the present Body of Christ lives here in America. Many are the "daughters of Jerusalem." The heart of the daughters cries, "God do this for me, that for me, empower me to preach, heal the sick and raise the dead." Again, these are Godly desires for us in ministering the Gospel to those in need, but what happens when there are no more people to preach to, heal or set free?

What kind of relationship will those who won't move upward in the Lord have if they won't come into the refining flame of Love Himself? The answer would be that they would only have child-like selfish desires that would see the Lord for their needs alone. This would be a sad testimony to give account for in the day we meet Him as our heavenly Bridegroom. Would you want that to be a testimony of your whole life in Christ?

The highest divorce rates happen in year 3-5 and years 10-25. The reason for this high rate is that couples break up before the kids get to big or after the children are gone. They break up so the kids won't have to go through years of fighting, or they stayed together just for the kids sake. This is true even in Christian marriages. The hot buzz word in America is called, "marriage of convenience."

These (so called) marriages stay together for the money, the houses, insurance, but the two don't love each other, just what they can supply together." These "new American" marriages allow you to have multitudes of partners, or have affairs, and commit adultery. The couples stay together out of need and convenience.

Yet in many ways, this is what our relationship with the Lord has become in America, a marriage of convenience. This is the source of what mega-ministries appeal to in so many these days, offering what the Lord can do for me and never having to preach about sin!

The question to ask ourselves today is why are we staying with the Lord? Is it to shack up with Him, take Him for what He is worth, and then go on our own ways, coming home to Him when we need something else? Many have built their relationship with the Lord to be like this, "as long as you bless me, provide for me, take care of me, meet my bills," I will stay with you and even go to church. It is also the reason so many "christians" are beginning to fall away from Him. They are not getting what they want from the Lord when they want it.

Most of the Body of Christ's relationship with the Lord in this nation has been,"a marriage of convenience.' James wrote this warning to church of His day, and the warning is true of our generation here in America as well.

James 4:1-5 Whence come wars and whence come fighting among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures. Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

We want the Lord to provide all that this world has to offer by asking Him to feed us with apples and raisins. The reason why the church in Laodecia was luke warm is that they desired the best of the world and the best of God. Much of todays preaching in America even encourages this self-seeking mentality. This is where we get "seeker-friendly" churches, cell groups and much more. All with good intentions, but are they truly the Lord's desires or ours?

To often here in America we take the things of the world and try to make them Christian to fill our own needs and desires. We to have asked Aaron to make us a golden calf and call it "jehovah" the God that led us out of sins bondage. We have little knowledge of what the Lord's true needs and desires are because we have not "pressed on to know the Lord." Hosea 6:3

Asking God for things is normal in a life of a babe in Christ who cries so mom can feed them. It is not normal for a bride to want things more than the person they are marrying. For us to become a bride or overcomers, we must have the Lord remove that very heart in us. The only way to remove that heart attitude is by the Lord sending REFINING FIRE! A special work of dealings in our heart to cause us to want to grow up into maturity where we live for only His desires for us! This is why in Revelation 19 it says the following,

Rev 19:6-8, And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth. Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

The refining fire has to come to help us "prepare a way for the Lord in our hearts, or to make ourselves ready." For this to happen, the Lord must cause a greater hunger for Him to arise in our hearts which I believe He is doing (today) in His bride. There is a need arising in the Bride-to-be's heart not for apples, raisins, gifts, power or anointing, but a need for the Lord Himself! He is awakening in us to see past the need for things, to our real and vital need, Him! Our last conference was called, "the Bride is awakening!" Do you see why that name came forth?

The Lord must cause us to grow up, but He will not make us grow up. Those who responded to this awakening join in the prayer found by the Bride to be in Song of Solomon chapter 1:4 Draw me; we will run after thee: The king hath brought me into his chambers.

This prayer is a prayer of DESIRE for God to intervene in our life. It is the prayer that allows Malachi chapter 3:1 to happen, " and the Lord whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple." This prayer for God to "draw us" is for the Lord to lift us up and take us where He is! THIS IS THE WAY IN WHICH HE WOULD WANT TO BE MET!

In the beginning of the Song of Solomon, the Bride-to-be doesn't understand His longing heart yet, because she still wants to be fed with apples and raisins. She still sees Him as an apple tree, but He sees her passion for Him. He will feed her there, but then will begin the process of FIRE in Her life, the Baptism of Fire, to bring her forth as Gold.

This Gold in her will not seek Him for her needs, but will be her finishing testimony found in Song of Solomon 7:10, "I am my Beloveds, and His desires are towards me." This is the heart of a bride that has made herself ready. (Revelation 19:7) She now is His entirely! YEAH GOD! She now lives only for His desires and not hers. Why, for His desires have become her desires, and their hearts burn together as ONE for the same thing.

Beloved, that is what a marriage is supposed to be in the natural and with the Lord. The "two shall become one." It was never meant to be a marriage of convenience, but a marriage where two hearts shall beat as one, and two people shall become one." This is the prayer of Jesus found in John chapter 17.

John 17:21-24 I pray Father, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Listen to the prayer: and the GLORY WHICH YOU HAVE GIVE ME, I HAVE GIVEN THEM, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE! "I AM MY BELOVEDS, AND HIS DESIRES ARE TOWARDS ME." This is the very heart He has to produce in us by the Baptism of Fire to make us one as Him and the Father are one, Glory! It will wreck us as we have known ourselves to be. It will wreck our understanding of church as we have known it to be." It will wreck our understanding, doctrines and bring forth the true revelation of Jesus Christ as He is desiring to be known. The same kind of knowing when Adam knew His wife Eve! He won't throw away all that we learned or believed from the past, just COMPLETE IT. "IT IS FINISHED! I am the ALPHA and OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END!

This is the mystery that is being revealed to those who have an ear to hear, and have allowed this desire for the Lord to consume them. This is what the prayer, DRAW ME LORD, will produce in the hearts of His bride. If you are reading this and have not this desire in your heart, stop right now and ask Him to awaken the heart of a bride in you for Him. Say, Lord, I don't understand all this, but I want to be your bride forever, do what you must in me now. I give you permission Holy Spirit to do all you need to do, until I am a Bride ready for my King Jesus." If you meant that beloved, get ready for the ride of your life.

Ephesians 5 tells us that husbands are to love their wives like Christ loves the church. That whole chapter is about the quality of love that will make us one with our wives and them one with us. It speaks of laying down our lives for our wives. It speaks of cherishing them, nourishing them, and washing them by the water of the word. It speaks of a man leaving His mother and Father and cleaving to His wife. Then Paul writes these statements:

Eph 5:25-32 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; because we are members of his body. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.

This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

Paul writes that Christ will present to Himself a glorious church, without spot or blemish. How will He do it? He sends the BAPTISM OF FIRE! How do we get it, by seeking the Lord as never before: DRAW ME LORD, WE WILL RUN AFTER YOU, O KING BRING ME INTO YOUR CHAMBERS. This prayer causes the Lord's attention to be single upon us or His favor to rest upon us. He then arranges the circumstances in our lives (as He did for Joseph, Moses, Abraham) to bring forth this fruit of desire for Him by FIRE!

This is a three part prayer of desire. The first part is the prayer of desire, DRAW ME! I want to know you Lord the way you want to be known. The second part is the Prayer of desire is of COMMITMENT! We will run after you means this: all that I am, all that I have, all that I ever will be is yours! This is the total commitment to give your entire life as you know it to Him as a living offering. This is where many believers stoptheir growth in Christ. Their destination in the Lord is the apple tree and to stay fed by His hand there.

But to those being awakened by the Lord, a deeper commitment to be His alone is awakening withih their hearts. The third part of this prayer of desire is to BE WITH HIM WHERE HE IS: O king bring us into your chambers. This speaks of oneness and intimacy of living together as on e BODY! The bride leaves her home to go and live with Him in His home! He leaves His mother and Father and cleaves to His wife.

His prayer is "make us one!" Her prayer is, O King bring us into your chambers! Her desires have changed from "living for him," and eating apples and raisins which sustain her life, to the full grown desires of bring me into your chambers to "live with Him" which sustains Him and in turn fills her completly!

I want to write so much more in this blog, but that is all for now. I am going to finish this thought in the next couple of blogs, so keep looking for them. But for now, please understand that in Hosea 6:2 This prayer, take me into your chambers will be fulfilled now while we are alive and completed when He returns: Listen to the promise of Hosea 6: 1-2: Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. "O king, bring me into your chambers." "In my Father's house there are many dwelling places."

Let the Holy Spirit reveal this present work in your heart today. I encourage you to go and reread the beginning of this series, the Fire of the Lord. A quickening word is in them, that will increase your desire and capacity for the Lord Himself.

Until next time!

Hello Dear Reader,

I will be working on the next blog for the The Fire is here series shortly. I have been quite busy over the last few days. I have not had a lot of time to write.

I want to invite any of you readers and friends of this ministry to share what God is speaking to your hearts on this blog. Let us become a forum where the "voice crying" would be heard. I am going to post some words that came from the Northern Colorado Regional House of prayer. The precious brother and sisters in Colorado are really fanning the flame of the Lord's presence.

I just received a word of confirmation about the Gold Rush Prophetic Alert from them. They did not read the word God gave me to after they got their Word from the Lord. He is opening the scriptures concerning this end time work of preparation to them as well.

We have been getting hits on our site from over 16 nations and 45 cities, 15 states all in less than a month. We give God all the Glory. If you are interested in posting on this blog, please send your name, email address and article. We will send you a questionnaire for you to fill out before we post your article.

Let the "voice of the Lord" go before His army.

Hope to continue to the series in the next few days.

Forever your servant in Christ,

Brother Henry Falcone

Dear beloved readers,

Today, we are continuing this topic of "The fire has come!" If you have not read the Word of the Lord or prophetic alert on the Flame of Fire site, please read it. We need to have an ear to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the churches.

Hosea 6:2,"After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. " This is a profound prophetic word for our generation and our time in history. God is making a way in the desert, called a "highway of holiness" for us to find. This flame of God series is to unfold this "unseen highway" but never the less the road to the flame of God!

I want to jump in and begin to expound Hosea 6:1-3, but first a foundation must be laid of why this is such a prophetic word to our generation. To understand this word we need to begin laying a foundation for its truth so it can be revealed to us and in us.

Today we will begin by reading from the book of Deuteronomy! Deu 4:24 says, " For the Lord our God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God." This consuming fire has come to fill your body, "the temple of the Holy Spirit,' with His burning presence. Two words we are going to look at as we start this teaching are consuming and fire. The word consuming in the Hebrew is akal. Its meaning is 1, to eat: 2, to consume: 3, burn up, devour:4, dine, eat and food.

The word fire means, burning, fiery, flaming, hot! So our God is consuming, eat up, burn, devouring flaming hot fire! This is important for us to remember as we begin to understand that we must come and walk in that flame to be changed.

Malachi chapter 3:2 says, "He is as a refining fire and fullers soup." This God whom we seek in Malachi 3:2 "shall suddenly come to His temple! Who shall stand when He appear and WHO CAN ENDURE THE DAY OF HIS COMING?" Not me! Who can stand when He comes to His temple, for when He comes He will be a refiner of gold and silver.

Beloved when you dig for gold and silver and find some, it is 100% gold and silver. However, mixed in with that 100% gold or silver are other metals that diminish the value and quality of that gold or silver. When we are born again, we are 100 percent gold and silver, but like these precious metals, we too are mixed with other things that diminish our effectiveness and quality of life. The Lord compares the work He is going to do in His temple, me and you, like a craftsman that make gold or silver objects. He says in Malachi chapter 3 vs3 says that, "HE WILL SIT AS A REFINER of silver and gold! Wherewill He sit? He will sit in your heart and mine if we will let Him!

The Lord will not force himself upon us. He is waiting for us to respond to his call. This call is to everyone, but the work of Flaming love sitting in your heart is conditional in you choosing Him to do so. Many brother and sisters in Christ may not want Him to sit in that place for it may be occupied with the self-life! Others may not have this work of refining flame sitting in their hearts because they never learned how to listen for His voice personally.

Why does the Lord have to come as a "refining fire and fuller soap? Why does He only come to those who are seeking the Lord desperately, "the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple?" The reason for this special visitation of the Lord to His Bride, His temple is found in Ephesians chapter 5. 25-27,"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word. That he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."

This is the purpose of His coming to His temple before He comes to take us with Him in marriage. We are not going to be changed and ready for marriage when we die and when we "go up!" We are going to change NOW as we begin to "burn with His purifying presence" in our lives.

There is a present work of the Holy Spirit that the bride must embace in order to make herself ready. She must embrace the work of the "refining fire" to produce the extra oil she needs to go out to meet Him as found in Revelation 19:7. This preparation process is also found in the the book of Mathew chapter 3:1-9. In this book we find the ministry of the forerunner John the Baptist speaking about the ministry of Jesus that was about to come. Let us read it together.

Mat 3:1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Mat 3:2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mat 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. Mat 3:4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Mat 3:5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan; Mat 3:6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducee's coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: Mat 3:9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Let us break down and isolate the following verses:

Mat 3:10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:

He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in(with) fire:

Mat 3:12 whose fan is in his hand,

and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor;

and he will gather his wheat into the garner,

but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

We know that on Pentecost that the fire came down and sat upon their heads and they became changed men. That was the beginning (alpha) work birthed in Glory for the church. But there must come a "finishing (omega) work" and this is called the Baptism of Fire. This is the same fire we see in Malachi chapter 3 as a Refining Fire and fuller soap.

Beloved the initial baptism of the Holy Spirit is for all believers. Some have not experienced yet, or don't believe in it. Others have sought the baptism for gifts and to be endued with power, but the deepest work of the Holy Spirit is for us "to be filled and live in the Flame of love Himself." This love that is a "consuming, devouring, eating flame." What does it eat everything that is not the same nature and character of the fire."

Another words, when the Lord comes to His temple, He desires to purify us like gold and silver not condemn or kill us. His plan is to remove the "mixture from our life." The deepest and secret sins and hidden motives of the heart that are tarnishing the perfect gold or silver that He has made us to be. We are already gold or silver to the Lord, but we have other desires of mixture in our lives. So our heavenly Bridegroom has come to remove this mixture called spots, blemishes and wrinkles from those who will surrender to His present day work.

In Revelations chapter 3:20, Jesus is standing at the door of the church and knocking with an invitation, that we let Him in the door to "sup with us and us with Him." Many teach this Jesus knocking on the heart of the unsaved, but it is not. This book was written to the "CHURCH at LAODECIA! The believers of God in this city as a type of the last days church.

To be an over-comer you must "open the door" and allow this supping with the Lord to take place. This supping is the type of fellowship with the Lord as in the what the word consuming means. This is a fellowship with Him that allows the Lord flame to purify and burn up the chaff remaining in our heart. He does this refining and deep work in us as He ravishes His love upon us at the same time. This is hard for us to understand that we can be in such an intent flame of purification and not be consumed by it. Did you get it?? We would be like a bush on fire but not consumed? Is that not what Moses saw on the mountain? Is that not what Peter, James, and John saw on the mount of transfiguration, that burning flame in a human body and not consumed.

This is a precious present work the Holy Spirit has come to do with this baptism of fire. He has come to refine us, purge us, and fit us perfectly in the Lord so we can with"live with Him in the flame of His love." This flame consumes, eats everything that is not of the same nature as the fire! Isn't that sweet! God is going to finish us like He promised. The Faithful one who started this "good work" in us will be Faithful to "complete it." Praise His name for evermore! He will remove all the impurities, all the other metals (the ugly stuff) that still remains in our hearts, if we will allow Him to do so and rise up and overcome by letting Him to truly "sup" with us.

His "flame" will remove all the idols, hardness and every trace of sin and wickedness from our lives. For He has said in Ephesians 5 that He is coming,"that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."

This is our glorious inheritance, but it is conditional and not every believer will experience it. Why is that so? Because it is conditional based upon our choices. He stands at the doors and knocks. That is Lord doing His part and calling to us to open the door. He says, "Whosoever opens the door and lets me in, I will come in to them and sup with them and they with me. "

Our part is to have an ear to hear this "present knocking at our heart." When we do hear it and understand our hour of visitation than Our part is to choose TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR HIM TO COME IN! We must let His flame of refining come into our heart." We must allow that consuming, invading, eating and devouring flame to come in purify us like gold and silver.

Beloved, It will wreck our lives as we have known it, but in the end we will be made a bride without spot or wrinkle. Will it hurt? Yes, but not like you think. The hurt comes when you begin to see your own heart and how deceitfully wicked it is. It will hurt as you begin to get a sober estimation of yourself. The hurt comes when the flame exposes every part of our selfishness, self-seeking and self-righteousness. It will hurt in every place we refused to love, or forgive and lay our life down. The hurt will come as you are reminded of what we are apart from Him.

Oswald Chambers once wrote, "the best thing the Holy Spirit can do when we start slumbering in our relationship with God is to allow to see ourselves again apart from the Lord. What we are really capable of doing without him. He says, this soberness will cause us to return to the Lord and hold on to Him much tighter and closer than ever before. He may have a point there. I would not suggest trying it out to see if it is true, just stay as close as you can to the Lord!

Yet, when the Lord allows you to see what is really there in your heart, He says look in the mirror. This is where many believers quit, for they do not want to see what their true self look likes. But, if they only looked up into that mirror they would find not their face reflecting back but His face as in a mirror. As we behold that face the Word of God says in 2nd Corinthians that we are changed from degree of glory to another. 2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

We must come into the fire to be changed. God our consuming fire is waiting for us to invite Him in and to sup with us. Again, not every believer will do this. Malachi chapter 3:1 sets the condition of the calling of the Lord once again, "AND THE LORD WHOM YOU SEEK, SHALL SUDDENLY COME TO HIS TEMPLE!" That "suddenly coming" was the same suddenly on the day of Pentecost, "suddenly there was a sound of a mighty rushing wind." (Act 2:1) We must desire Him to "come suddenly" to our lives as a refining fire NOW! This is the day He is revealing Himself as that flame in this moment in History. We will expound on this from Revelation chapters 1-3 in the coming blog and many other supporting scriptures to this end.

Beloved, this "walking in the flame" is the present work of the Holy Spirit in the temple of God. Judgment begins in the House of the Lord. He is coming to judge and burn up the chaff and remove it from our life. He can only do it by revealing His nature, FIRE! The Spirit of Burning must come in to our hearts to prepare us as a Bride without spot, blemish or wrinkle. The Baptism of the Holy spirit birthed(alpha) the church in power and destiny, and the Baptism of Fire is for our generation to finish (Omega) the work of our destiny. He declares to John the Beloved in Revelation 1:8, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." As the Alpha, He started this good work in us, as the Omega, He will finish it. YEAH GOD!

In the next blog, we will revisit the promise found in Hosea chapter 6 and glean from the 1st three chapters of Revelations. These scriptures are a prophetic "present word" to our generation that we must embrace. Hope you come back to read more.

In His love always!

Hello Dear Reader,

Have you heard the call of Revelation 19:7 "and His bride has made herself ready?" Has the sound of the echo of "prepare ye the way of the Lord" reverberated in your heart? If the answer is yes, then get ready for the He who is coming, "the Lord whom you seek!"

Yes the Lord is coming to His temple, praise God! There is a second coming of the Lord physically coming in a day and moment only the Father knows, but there is a spiritual coming of the Lord as found in Malachi chapter 3 and Revelations chapters 1-3 to the church first.

This presencing of the Lord is happening right now in this spiritual period of time of the end, but few in the Body of Christ in America are even aware of it. It is a time to getting our life in full grown relationship with the Lord. A time of great refining and purification that will prepare us to be a bride without spot or wrinkle.

Many are unaware of this divine work because they are busy working hard for the Lord, and can not hear his call to come and "Walk in the flame!" There is much I have to write about this present work of the Holy Spirit in the coming days so keep coming to this blog site. Yes, we must come and "walk in the flame of God" as the "flame of God" walks in us.

There was coming a time and now is when a remnant of God's people would begin to hear the first sound of that Holy Flame burning in their hearts. A flame that is jealous over and in us with perfect love. This flame of God in us yearns to be united with the flame that God is as a person! It is a holy jealousytthat desires to make us one with Him, as He is one with His Father. John 17:21.

This sound of the crackling of the flame of God in our heart begins first with a desire to seek Him as He would want to be found, and to know Him as He would want to be known. Be careful you don't read that last sentence to fast! Many have a desire to know Him, but from their own understanding on who He is. Another words, they want to know how God relates to them. The difference between the two are light years apart in God's heart. The first knowing we speak of is requires a heart that desires their life to fit into His life. The latter has a heart that wants God to fit into our life.

This is a big deal to God and to us spiritually. Much of the present church understanding of God revolves around knowing God for our needs. We seek Him for salvation, Gifts of the Spirit, Ministries, finances, healing, power and many other things. All this seeking allows those aspects of God's nature and character to "fit" into our life and our understanding! With this type of heart seeking the Lord, we can seek when we want to, work when we want to or not! This type of seeking allows you to keep your life and God's life at the same time and under one roof, you!

The first type of desire for the Lord as He would want to be known is different. This deep desire for Him requires a much deeper love and devotion for Him. This passionate seeking is what the flame of God in you desires to bring forth from your life, a desire to know Him as HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN! John 17:3 calls this "eternal life!" The desire to see the Lord as He wants to be seen or to love Him as He wants to be loved is beyond Human reason and understanding. It must be so or God would be smaller than mankind.

For this passionater desire to awaken in you,r heart, a deeper cry must come forth from your spirit, soul and body. The roaring deep (in you) cries out to the deep (in Him), even at the noise of the waterspouts. Psalm 42:7 When our desire for the Lord is based upon our needs, then God must fit into our box called "our own lives." This is where most Christians stop growing into maturity. They become content with God providing and giving them gifts and ministries. It is here where the love for "the ministry" grows stronger than for the love of the Lord Himself.

This is a very dangerous place where the "work of God" becomes an idol to be worshipped. If that should happen to a minister or a church they begin to worship themselves as God's workers instead of the God of the work. God gave me a name for this called, "false ministry idolatry." It is deadly and causes many of His own ones to be led astray from Him by the working for Him. This where we only see God as our supply "and my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory." Phil 4:19

That is the difference between the "many who are called, and the few that are chosen." Math. 22:14 The many are those who only go on to know the Lord for "their needs." The Lord does not force us to grow up to maturity. He desires for us to grow up, but the choice is always ours. The many never fully grow up into maturity. Their desire for the Lord ends with the "benes" (benefits)! They will love Him, praise Him and worship Him as long as they are given things and gifts. They will even serve Him and work diligently for Him, but they can never know Him as He wants to be known.

It is hard for me to imagine that God would desire that kind of intimacy with us. At our conference in Colorado, I experienced this drawing of the Lord personally in one of our meeting times. As we worshipped Him, I saw His longing heart and His great vulnerability in being intimate with us. I always wondered why He came down to the children of Israel in a black cloud. I wondered why in the Song of Solomon why He hid behind the lattice. At this conference I got a little glimpse of why He does. Why doesn't He just show us His full Glory now?

The answer to that question has changed my life forever. As I saw the Lord come down like a cloud in our midst, I had an open vision of Him looking over us as a vineyard. He was hiding behind that cloud not afraid of us, but He was seeking whom He could show Himself to as He would want to be seen. As I gazed at His presence, though it was not recognizable by anything I could describe, I gained an understanding of His personality. He just like any person has feelings and emotions. He made us in His image, did He not? He desires and longs for our intimacy and fellowship beyond anything I could imagine. Even more than a Husband would long to be intimate with His wife, His longing is so much deeper and intense than that for us!

I had experienced His longing before, but not like this experience of that intense passionate longing and flame that He has to be one with us. He wanted so much to show us in this meeting His Glory, and be open and vulnerable to reveal who He is to us, but He could not. I wept over this for an hour crying "why Lord, why can't we see your Glory?" Then I received understanding by a revelation of His longing heart in a deeper way than I ever had before.

Just imagine yourself in His place for a moment, not that it is possible to do that, but let's speculate a little here. The God of all creation, The God of the Universe, Yah Jovah is coming to be intimate with us at the highest capacity we were made for knowing Him. He is about to open up the fullness of His heart to us as we were created for. We are about to look at the full beauty of His being, the fullness of His personality as He would want us to know Him . Then in that moment we see His fullness, His Glory, His splendor and Beauty and thenthe revelation came what if we turn away from Him and say "we want something or someone else more than Him. I can't even imagine what that would do to His heart, but it was as real as anything I have ever seen or experienced before. It was possible for us to walk away from that Glory and say "no thanks God!" ARE YOU WEEPING YET, DOESN'T THAT KILL YOU, IT DOES ME?

How would you feel if you were as open and honest as you could be with the one who said they loved you? Imagine telling them every detail of your life and how much you are madly in love with them. Imagine giving them everything you are, all you have, and all you will ever be and then that person walk away from you, and say no thanks, a created thing is better than the creator? So I asked why do you hide behind the cloud and behind the lattice?Because just like you and I the pain of being rejected by the object of His love is unbearable for Him as would be for us, but even so much worse for Him.

The many will never desire the Lord like this, because they are content with being used and not being His alone. They have the capacity to walk away remaining in their heart, so He can not reveal Himself as He would desire to do so. Yet, God does have the chosen. The ones who will desire above all else to"walk in the flameof the Lord" who is that flame of Perfect Love. These believers are being chosen right now by the choices they are making to prepare themselves as bride for the Lord. These are the ones that the jealous flame of love in them has stirred up a passion for Him alone. This passion take them past seeking the Lord for their needs, but to give up their lives to meet His needs.

These chosen ones are the over comers found in Revelations chapters 1-3 and the Bride found in Revelations 19 and 21. The flame of God within them has stirred them up past the natural realm or their natural needs into the realm of the Holy Spirit. Here they see their true spiritual need which is to know what God's needs are and what He desires. They have found the secret access to the very heart of the Lord, the very Flame of Love itself.

This flame of love in the chosen awakens the desire to be changed from seeking God for the "benes" into loving the Lord the way the Lord would want to be loved. This loving the Lord is now beyond their human understanding because it is higher than our human mind could ever comprhehend. This deeper capacity birthed from that jealous flame in us is ready to fit into God's will, God's plan the way God desires and not for God to fit into their will, plans and desires anymore.

For this to become a reality in our heart, a new desire and way of seeking the Lord must be birthed in the heart of the worshipper. The bible tell us that the true worshippers will worship the Lord in the real realm of Spirit and Truth. Jesus tells us in John 4:23 -24 this true desire of the Lord, "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth! This is worship that transcends an act or expression of worship. It is not a worship service or a christian CD or any other expression of worship. This is a heart of worship that cries, "I must love you the way you want to be loved, and all that I am, all that I have, all that I ever will be is yours!" This worship is what begins to fan the flame of Lord in our hearts. It is the fuel for all spiritual growth.

When we begin to seek the Lord in this manner, then the scriptures take on a whole new meaning and we receive fresh revelation of God's end-time work. Hosea chapter 6:1-3 is an important prophetic picture of this work:

Hos 6:1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

Beloved, let us look at a couple of points here: Point 1: Let us return to the Lord! This is the same cry found in Revelation chapter 2:4, "nevertheless I have this one charge against you, you have deserted (abandoned, left) your first love. The first call that comes from that jealous flame of love is to "return to the Lord, our first love!"

Point 2: for He has torn us: This tearing is the rending of the heart or a deeper circumcision of the heart. This tearing has to deal with our true desires and motives. The intentions of why we do what we are doing. This tearing must come. It is the time of the threshing floor. It is the time of the seperation of the wheat from the tares in our lives. When the Lord rends our heart it produces a deeper need for Him. It brings forth a deeper brokenness and humility in us and causes a longing in us just for Him.

This process starts with a revelation that we may not be what we think we are. In this place, God begins to remove our masks and fig leaves. This tearing must bring us to the place of being naked and unashamed before Him as I wrote in the last blog. This will require a stripping of the desire for God to fit into our life to a desire for us to fit into His life. This refining fire requires a stripping of the desire to seek God for the "benes" to seeking God as He would want to be known. This is not an easy or pretty process, matter of fact it comes with great intensity.

Malachi chapter 3:1-3 begins to show us how the flame of the Lord begins to burn when we begin to seek the Lord on His terms for who He is, Mal 3:1 "Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts. Mal 3:2 But who can abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap: Mal 3:3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness."

We will expound on this in the next few blogs, but needless to say, this tearing comes by fire or the Spirit of Burning in our hearts. That burning flame of desire for Him stirred in us causes us to come up and walk in the flame of YAH JOVAH! It also allows Him to take His rightful place in our hearts. Notice in verse 2 this Holy position He takes, "He SITS,(this is a position of absolute rule and dominion) as a REFINER AND PURIFIER of silver. Do you think He is done with us yet? This HOLY FLAME OF LOVE IS A REFINER AND PURIFIER to remove every SPOT, WRINKLE AND BLEMISH in His Holy Bride. The work is conditional upon the heart of each believer in saying yes or no to the Lord's stirring of the flame within us. He will only come to those who desire Him as that very flame of refining. Verse 1, "And the Lord whom YOU SEEK, SHALL SUDDENLY COME TO HIS TEMPLE!" You and I precious reader must do the seeking!

Point 3 And He will heal us! Yes, beloved the tearing only last until we are ready to behold Him as He wants to be beheld by us. When we surrender and cooperate with that Flame of love provoking a Holy jealousy for Him within uswe rise up above our needs to see His. Then we can be healed and be in a new spiritual position to walk in the flame of love with Him.

This is what we are being prepared for if you have an ear to hear what the Spirit says to the church. This preparation is found in Hosea 6, Revelation 1-3 and Malachi chapter 3 in a very profound way which we will discover over the next few writings.

I pray the stirring up that flame of His love in you has increased as you have read this word. I pray this jealous love He gave you will reach down into your deep to reach up to into the deep of His love for you. Hosea 6:3 say,"and let us know, and let us follow on to KNOW Yah Jovah!

Hello Beloved reader,

This word is so burning in me, I had to change it being attached to the conference report less you miss it. I am also going to post it as a word of the Lord and Prophetic Alert because we must not MISS THE HOUR OF OUR VISITATION! I am going to write more extensively about it as the Lord reveals it to me, but the miracle at the wedding at Cana is at our doorstep! Please read this slowly and let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart.

Something is happening in our land, little flickers of fire are beginning to spark a real call to return to our first love Jesus Christ and to answer the call of 2nd Chronicles 7:14... If my people called by name, will humble themselves, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land. This call is beginning to echo through out the Western and Mountains states as the prophetic voice is being released, "PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD."

Beloved reader, I pray that God is stirring up your heart to seek Him like never before. We pray that the Holy Spirit is working in you to prepare yourself like the Bride in Revelation 19:7 and you are making yourself ready. Beloved, by now we must understand as God’s people that we CAN NOT fix ourselves, change ourselves, or even make ourselves white. In spite of that fact, God still wants to remove the spots, blemishes and wrinkles in our lives to have a pure, spotless bride to present to Himself.What came forth from the Holy Spirit at these conferences is the following. The way of removing the spots and blemishes from our lives or the preparation we need to do in making ourselves ready for our Bridegroom can only come by BEING WILLING to be TRANSPARENT and NAKED before God and one another. It is time that we take the fig leaves off and become vulnerable to God and one another.

What is hindering this process of God in our life at this time is simple. We are afraid for God to see us as we really are. Like Israel did when the Lord came down to meet them at Mt. Sinai, we too are running away from that mountain, “lest we be killed!” Just as Israel said at that mountain, “Moses you listen to God for us and we will do all He says, but let God not come nearer to us or we will die," we Christians in America have said the same thing. The Isrealites ran away because of the conviction of their sins that came from being close to the presence of God. For the second time God's people again went to hide from His presence and find another fig leave to cover their sins. What are we so afraid of that would make us hide or run from His presence coming in our midst?

We are afraid we will be rejected because of all our faults and sins that still remain in our heart. Another words we are convicted by the Holy Spirit, but condemned by the spirit of this world. That spirit says you have not measured up to God’s standard so you are no good. It says you must stay away from God because you are not worthy enough. It speaks, God does not love you enough, your failures, the sinful places in your life are just to much for God to bare. He won’t even look at you and if He does you will be a crispy critter burned up in His judgment.

Most Christians live this life everyday, yet still want to go to church and work hard for the Lord. They need a way to ease their conscious which is condemned daily because of the inability to measure up to the law and standards of God. The Body of Christ here in America knows their nakedness in their hearts but just won’t admit it. If we were to admit it what would God think and what would my friends think of me if they really knew the REAL ME! We are afraid if people see the real me, with all my wrong attitudes and motives, they will not want to be around me. So we continually put on a religious mask called "working for God" or “pretending how spiritual we are” to cover our nakedness. To the church in Laodicea the Lord warns them that “you say you are rich and need of nothing, but I say, you are poor, blind, pitiable and naked.”

There is that word naked again. Jesus tells the last days church, the majority of it, that they say they are OK with God and need nothing. These are the masks we all wear everyday. I am OK, your OK, there is nothing wrong with me. I am a child of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, tongue talking, gift filled, tithers of the most High God! Yet to this church, Jesus is standing on the outside of the door to their heart. He is knocking to get back in and sup with them and them with Him.

Beloved, think about that for a minute. We the church in America think we are all OK and there is nothing wrong with us. We say we are rich every day. We pretend we are spiritual. We pretend to be OK by our works alone. The more we feel convicted the more work we try to do for God, not knowing that most of what we are doing is our own way of making ourselves right with God. This is called our own righteousness and it is a filthy rag to God. So filthy that we are really naked and not even covered before Him. Our sin is ever before Him like David said.

Yes, beloved our sins were washed away when we accepted Christ, but we are to work out that salvation with fear and trembling. We are to put away the old former way of living and live totally for God. Every place we compromise with the truth, every unholy thought and desire, shows the real condition of our hearts. As a man thinks, so is He!

We do not love like He does, or lay our lives down one for another, matter of fact we are the only army in this land that kills its own wounded. We have walls up between us because we are filled with pride and arrogance. We say my church is better than your church. My church is growing faster. We are the “cool church” the “happening church.” We got what the other churches don’t have. We say it all the time on radio, television by comparing ourselves one to another. We do it as churches and we do it as individuals. When someone is walking closer to God then us, we look for their flaws, find them and then tell others so we can lift ourselves up! Is this a Bride without spot, blemish or wrinkle?

At both conferences, God said become naked and unashamed! How do we do that? By the only way God demands, HONESTY! We must allow the Holy Spirit of REFINING HONESTY TO SEARCH OUR HEARTS, MINDS AND MOTIVES! He is the only one who can judge accurately. Will we allow Him to do His work and bring conviction of sin, righteousness and judgment? Or will we continue to run away from Him and His presence like Adam and Eve did who hid and covered themselves?

Can God really show you the dross still in your heart? Can you possibly believe that God who knows all and sees all knows that the dross is there and yet is not rejecting you? Matter of fact He came not just to save you, but to finish the work in you. YEAH GOD! Remember the scripture that says, Faithful is He who began the good work in you, faithful will He be to complete it?

What are we afraid of when God knows everything about us? Who can bring a charge against God elect? Can it be God who died and gave Himself for us? So why are we afraid to see how we really are in the light of God’s love? I believe it is because we can’t face the fact we must have a sober estimation of ourselves. A truthful examination of our lives by God is the only standard for a sober judgment. Our judgment will always make ourselves look better. Most of us lived under such rejection all of our lives, WE CAN’T BEAR to hear one word of rebuke, correction and truth from God. Many have been called failures all their lives, that the thought of falling short or failing God would crush them beyond measure. Some can’t bear the thought because they have been so “sure of themselves and their ability all their lives,” there could not ever be anything wrong with them.

Isn’t the truth that we want to just look good, always and everywhere? Don’t we want people to think the best of us? So we put on masks and fig leaves to cover our sins and to pretend to be the person who “we think” we are and not the one God said we are. Sister Tiffany brought a great word about Humpty Dumpty. She read the poem to us, but asked this question. Why did Humpty fall of the wall? How can Humpty put himself back together again? Yet don’t we try to put ourselves together and look good in our own eyes and in everyone else’s lives when we fall off that wall? The question came to us in the meeting, "can we allow the Lord to push off the wall, smash our lives as we have known them or wanted them to be, and allow Him to make us and put us back together?"

The Lord expected an answer from us. Would He be allowed to do put us back together as He sees fit? Would be willing to be made as He wills even if we could not eve recognize ourselves as we used to be? Here in America, we have not desired to hear this question. Up to this moment in time we (the American Church) have created ourselves into our own image and likeness. Now the Lord comes to us in two conferences and asks us will we allow Him to make us into His Image and Likeness? WOW!

The Lord did not instruct us to have conferences or boot camps to build a name, or ministry or any such thing. He called us to have these meetings to "establish the Kingdom of God in men's hearts!" These two powerful encounters with the Lord were about being made into the New Jerusalem,as a Bride coming down from heaven! These meetings were to help bring forth a Bride coming forth from the wilderness leaning upon her Beloved.

We must ask this question, if Jesus is standing on the outside of the church or hearts and knocking to get in, then what happened to us here in America and the world? We were supposed to be the temple of the living GOD! We are called to be the Temple of the Holy Spirit filled with the Glory of God Himself that nations would come to brightness. (Isaiah 60) Where is that Glory that must be seen in us and through us? The "naked" truth is that the best we are all doing here in America is trying to create ourselves in our "understanding and image" and not God's! OUCH!

Could that be true beloved reader? Could that be you and me and the church in America? Well meaning, trying so hard to reach the world, but beautiful on the outside, but empty on the inside? Could we be that Humpty Dumpty sitting on the wall getting ready to HAVE A GREAT FALL! Does not God RESIST the PROUD, but give GRACE to the HUMBLE?

Whom are we hiding from? Does God not know every single hair on our heads? Don’t we understand that He can see through our religious masks? Why is it so hard to be real and not pretend with God and one another? When we meet other Christians we have to be on our "best behavior". We need to put on our appearance! We say, “praise God, Hallelujah, talk all the church talk and even pretend to be interested in their lives. I know this is a bit hard to swallow, BUT WE MUST BECOME NAKED AND UNASHAMED BEFORE GOD NOW WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!

If we continue to have this heart of being fake and phony, we can never see God. Matthew writes in chapter 5, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." This heart of being plastic and fake before God and others has made a generation of believers always ready to perform, always striving to "BE SOMETHING or DO SOMETHING FOR GOD!

The church in America has produced Christians that can't be real, transparent or naked before God or each other because we are performance driven instead of God led. We have hardened the very heart that God broke when we were saved. Paul writes to the Galatians in chapter 5, "Who has bewitched you? Who has cast a spell over you? You who began this new life in the Holy Spirit, why are you trying to reach perfection by your trusting in your flesh to do it?

What a question? Who has cast a spell upon us. That we must be performers instead of real, transparent and Holy before God? This heart that hides, covers and lives to perform to prove it's worth and value can NEVER REALLY KNOW GOD OR WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH! Why does the church in America have to be entertained? Why do Pastor's not preach against sin anymore? Why are our churches becoming "seeker friendly?" Why are we taking marketing surveys to see what people want from in their churches?

Brothers and Sisters, We are really rich and in need of nothing? On Sunday mornings, we put on "our best face" before God and the people. We dress up nice, say all the right things, even convince ourselves the message was for us, but we never become real, open or honest before God or each other.

Think about this truth for a moment.If our heart is hiding and being covered by fig leaves so we can‘t be real, honest and open before God, than how can our worship be real and pleasing to God? I encourage you to read the first chapter of Isaiah sometime and hear how God viewed their times of worship or services. He said, I hate them! Why? Because you don’t give me your heart, just lip service. That is what the church in Laodicea was doing and they were lukewarm ready to be spewed from God’s mouth. Can our worship of God on Sundays or Wednesdays really be in Spirit and Truth, when we are hiding with Adam and Eve from the presence of the Lord lest He see we are naked?

Beloved, I do not have it all together as I am writing this to you, if I said I did I would be a liar. Truth be known, God is so dealing with me as that refining fire and fuller soap. He is thoroughly purging this threshing floor of my heart. I do not like some of the things that are coming out of me during this process, the dross is coming to the top. But I have learned not to look at the dross, but the God who desires to remove it! YEAH GOD! I have set my heart like flint, not to run away from Him and asked for the Grace to do it in me! Paul wrote, “not that I have attained, but I look away from everything that distracts me from Christ and I press on to the prize of the High Calling of God which is in Christ Jesus.”

Yes, there is still stuff in me, much stuff, many places that still need the sanctifying power of the flame of God's love burning in my heart. I am far from perfect, but I am willing to be made perfect in His perfect love. That is what these conferences revealed of His nature to us. That this Wonderful Father, Perfect Husband, and Powerful Helper is not afraid of the desires that still remain in my heart that are not His. He is ever ready to finish that work of sanctification in my life. He is just waiting for me to believe Him and do the one thing He asked me and you do. BEHOLD HIM CONTINUALLY!

It is time to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY! At these conferences, God revealed the powerfulness of being still and knowing that He is God. I am a mess, but HE IS GOD! If I can just seek Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, and desire to do one thing, BEHOLD HIM AND LOOK INTO HIS EYES, I will be transfigured by His Glory and will hear God say to the deepest darkness still remaining in my heart. LET THERE BE LIGHT!

I am not going to run away from Him or His presence. No matter what I see He is removing from me, or exposing in me. I am not going to run away from Him, no matter how ugly my motives might be. I am going to run to Him, and hold on to Him for dear life! I can't change any other way and neither can you! It is only standing with Him in the flame of His perfect Love, can we be changed.

Beloved reader, He so desires to change us into that pure spotless bride that nothing will stop Him in those who are willing for Him to do it! The neat thing about God is that He doesn't run away either by what He sees in us. Matter of fact, His jealous love burns over us. As we BEHOLD HIM, THE FLAME OF YAWHEH, will begin to focus on that darkness still in us and BURN it out of our life and leave us intact. Is that not the promise of Malachi chapter 3 to purify the Sons of Levi that they may bring offerings of righteousness to the Lord? YES, YES, YES!

He will have a pure and spotless bride, Royal Priesthood and Holy Nation, Blameless before the Lord God Almighty! We must learn not to run away and hide from His presence, but to run to His presence. We must stop running away from the cross's work in our hearts, but run to it and let it do it thorough work of death in our hearts. We must learn to allow our stare at Him to pierce deep into His eyes, so He can see pierce into ours and remove everything that is not like Him.

We have tried everything else haven’t we? We tried studying our sin out, fasting it out, praying it out, yet it is still there. It only comes out by the SPIRIT OF BURNING AND THE SPIRIT OF JUDGEMENT! Yes, beloved! Judgment begins IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD! Only as we behold His beauty, stare into His eyes can that FLAME OF PERFECT LOVE DO ITS PERFECT WORK IN OUR SOUL! Why do you think Satan will allow you to do so much working for God instead of you LOOKING AT HIM! Satan knows that WHEN WE SEE HIM, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM! Do you get it beloved reader?

When we look into the window of His eyes they lead to depth of His soul and who He is, God Almighty. His eyes, that mirror, becomes a place of transfiguration in me and you. As we behold Him the lover of our souls, we are changed from one degree of glory to another. The Apostle Paul writes in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:15-18, “But unto this day, When ever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart (of men). But when (that heart) ever it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. "But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit."

Do you see it Beloved reader? What are we afraid of? Why won’t you run to Him instead of running away to hide behind the bushes and make yourself some fig leaves to cover ourselves? We were saved for this VERY PURPOSE! His blood has made a way for us to come and His flesh was broken for our complete entire healing, spirit, soul and body.

We have the priceless privilege to BEHOLD HIS FACE AS LOOKING INTO A MIRROR (that actually changes us). Yet here is the best part! THE REFLECETION LOOKING BACK AT US IS NOT OUR FACE, BUT JESUS'S FACE REFLECTING BACK HIS GLORY TO US, AND WE ARE CHANGED BY THAT GLORY!

As we gaze into His piercing eyes, His eyes pierce back through our eyes and WE CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT! HIS REFLECTION IS THE VERY FLAME OF YAHWEH, THE IAM THAT IAM! HIS REFLECTION is NOTHING LESS than PERFECT LOVE appearing as a REFING FIRE! That FLAME HAS COME TO FINISH THE WORK HE STARTED! PRAISE THE LORD FOREVER MORE!

Beloved reader, the flame of Yahweh is to FOREVER burn in us, through us, and out of us. It changes us daily to become a Bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish! There is no other way to make ourselves ready. WE MUST be willing to come to Him NAKED AND UNAFRAID, knowing His perfect love will cast out all our fears. We MUST become real, naked and transparent before Him and one another.

Will you allow the Fire of God's presence to come to your life? Will you take the mask off and be naked before the Lord? Will you allow Him to search your true motive and desires and refine them into just His desires? Will you be naked before your brother or sister and stopping being what you think they would like you to be?

If you will, then you will begin to answer the cry to "Repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand." When you do you begin to answer the call, "Prepare ye a way for the Lord and make the crooked places straight in your heart." It is here you will find your Beloved Bridegroom waiting to FINISH the Good Work He started in you, when you asked Him to save you. It is worth it Beloved, The Spirit and the Bride says, "Come Lord Jesus!"

Hello Dear Reader,

I pray you are enjoying our new web and blog site. Brother Brad from Colorado has been a God sent laborer to me. I had prayed for years for someone to help me put forth a website that would glorify the Lord and be able to share the heart of the work God has asked us to do. Brother Brad has done that. He has truly been a sent one to us from God for this work. Brother Brad please receive the love and blessings from the Lord and us for all this hard work and labor!We will be having pictures on our site soon as well as audio of our conferences.

If you go to the http://www.ncrhop.org/ website you can click on the audio and there is a message to all men of God called " I don't want to be an Ahab." Brothers, please listen to the teaching, it will change your life, ignite the flame of the Lord in your heart, and put a love for your wife and family like never before. Ladies, download it and encourage your husbands to listen to it, it will transform you families.

We just held two conferences, one in Greeley Colorado and our first in Tucson Arizona. We were blessed to have at both conference Sister Tiffany Lewis from Dancing in the Flame ministries. Sister Tiffany is a precious minister that you just love being around. Her love for the Lord and the flame of His presence in her life causes you to cry, MORE LORD!Sister Tiffany brought forth some tremendous teachings for these meetings. We are in the process of making copies from both conferences and will make them available on all our sites, and possibly her site as well to receive for a love offering.

Precious saints, these teachings were about the preparing of the bride, the threshing floor, the ancient Jewish wedding and much more. They are must hear teachings from the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to click on the Tiffany Lewis link and read her monthly manna and blogs. They are food for your soul!

The Lord had me share on intercession that changes a region. These teachings from the Holy Spirit were also very powerful. We were all so convicted by the Holy Spirit of the sin in our own lives and our region, we could not even stand. God so burned a flame in us to pray like never before. The Lord really made Malachi chapter 31-4 a living reality in our lives, "and the Lord that you seek shall suddenly come to His temple and when He appears He is like refining fire and fuller's soap."

He came in our midst as the flame of God, refining, purifying. Several Pastor's that came to our Tucson meeting all cried out for themselves, all the Pastors and leaders for our region. We confessed of our desire to build a Babel and having a heart in this region that says, “Let us make bricks, let us build a city, let us build a tower, and let us make a name for ourselves.”

It was made so very real to us by the Holy Spirit of the sin that is in our region we could do nothing but weep before Him in sackcloth and ashes in the Holy Spirit. The Lord heard our prayer from Him so powerfully that after that prayer time was over the whole atmosphere in the room and our area changed. We all felt the tangible change over us as the presence of the Lord lingered with us.

At both the conferences in Colorado and Arizona, God brought precious brothers and sisters from the region together to cry out for their respective regions. It was an awesome thing. Many intercessors from the Colorado region came to join us in worship and we experienced a mighty move of God in the youth during our boot camps and the flame of repentance at our conference. One sister said, “it was wood shed time with the Lord.“ It was that, but it also was those most beautiful time ending with a beautiful marriage walk down the aisle with the Lord.

We have also found an open door for us at the Abundant Life Church in Greeley who have agreed to let us use their church for our boot camps and conferences and soon I pray for daily prayer! We have not had many Pastor’s join with us yet, so please pray for God to break down the walls of suspicion, jealousy and division over this area. We are expecting! There are many precious Pastor’s and leaders in this region with a heart for the Lord Himself and we are praying for God to unite us with those He has chosen to help establish this work.

The beautiful thing here in Tucson is that we were able to meet several Pastors and leaders that have this same heart. I believe they have recognized we must get on our knees and seek the face of God like never before for the Lord to come and change the atmosphere of our region. One precious Pastor has opened his church to us so we can come together to seek the Lord everyday for our region, praise God! We are now going to meet daily Monday through Saturday from 6:00 am- 10:00 am for our region in Tucson. We thank God for Pastor Morhpin and the vision and love God has placed in his heart to let us begin earnestly here at their church!

May God bless each and every one that came to these conferences. We pray that God's fire will burn brighter in passion for Him each day! If you would like audio copies of these conferences go to contact link on any site and send us an email.

God bless each and everyone of you reading this today!
