Thank you Jesus that the fire that I am walking through is and has always been FOR me.
Mic drop.
I recorded the words and then dropped my phone. Like Obama’s epic mic drop it was that kind
of moment. Profound.
I had received The Place of Fulfillment lesson and as I learn from Spirit
each day I practice, so I went into
prayer asking to be shown what my place of fulfillment may look like. In that post I said that what Spirit gives you in
response might me surprising. I spoke truth.
FIRE of Jesus Heart
I had barely started to pray when I had a graphic
vision. I created the cover design for this post
from that vision. I was seeing Jesus’
heart and it was on fire. Spirit has
taught me often how passionate Jesus’ heart is toward us.
I like to say that our Father gets double-teamed by Jesus and the
Holy Spirit. They keep Him in check.
Our Father’s heart towards us is not always good. Fact. Our Father can be angry at us, our Father can hold a grudge, He can turn His back on us, He can be vengeful, He can be wrathful. He can even punish us for the sins of our fathers generations before us.
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities - Isaiah 14:21-22
But our Father knows Himself well and is also very clever.
He builds mitigation strategies into every level of creation, because at
the heart of it, everything is in service to our good. So He sent us His heart, we call Him Jesus and He sent us His most holy spirit.
I have found over the years that Holy Spirit is extremely supportive, nurturing, kind, persistent and consistent. Holy Spirit never gives up on you no matter how many times you give up on yourself. Holy Spirit never judges you no matter how harshly you judge yourself. Holy Spirit is always there to pick you up no matter how many times you fall down.
Encouraging you, drawing you out, comforting you, showing you amazing possibilities that are available to you, that's Holy Spirit, always for you. In spirit I have seen that Holy Spirit is fierce in protecting us, and is indeed our advocate and intercessor. Holy Spirit tempers our Father’s heart toward us.
And Jesus, well, hands down the thing I see most often in
spirit about Jesus is his heart. If you hear only one message ever in Christianity,
this is the message you need to hear.
Jesus heart for you is fierce and compassionate, it is always and only for your highest good. What Jesus wants most for you is the restoration of your heart to his own. He wants you to walk every day of your life in the JOY of that union.
When I say your fire is for you I do not mean it is punishment customized just for you. Nor am I
saying it is a test that you must pass, or a proving of your faith. It can potentially be one or more of these
things but none of these describe the
substance and purpose of your fire.
Your fire is FOR you.
It is for your benefit, it is for your good. That is our God’s heart for you. The heat of the fire may be your Father's wrath, it may not. It may simply be something He has permitted, into which He has already implanted the seeds of your good. Treasures for you to discover and enjoy.
'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'. - Jeremiah 29:11
Jesus and Holy Spirit team up to get you through it, to help
you to recognize the blessings in it and to find the Field of Diamonds in your path.
Your fire is for you.
It is for your growth, it is for your anointing and appointing and
preparation. It is a place where God
brings out of you what He has implanted in you; spiritual giftings, emotional
intelligence, gifts of love, mercy and grace, fierceness, boldness, fortitude and so much more.
Your fire is the place where your light rises from the ashes
to dazzle the world. Your fire is the
place where like the phoenix, you are rebirthed.
The fire you are going through is for you. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for the Lord
your God is with you. Through every moment
of it, He is with you. In every twist and
turn His hand is at work as He develops you, hones you, molds you, makes you.
He sees something in you.
Let Him draw it out through this fire and the next and the next. Relax. Let Him make something magnificent out of you.
“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.” - 2 Timothy 2:20-22

Authors Note - The postscript to today’s message:
In prayer, I asked to be shown what my place of fulfillment might look like. As one who struggles with health challenges I expected to see myself in robust vibrant health, instead I saw Jesus’ heart. As the vision progressed I got it, I am called to be the Fire of Jesus' Heart. Spirit tells you God’s heart for you in a thousand ways. My ministry is the ministry of Jesus' heart.
I love to receive beautiful and dramatic allegories in vision, but I am also a very rational and practical person. So I asked Jesus, please show me what this means for me in a real and practical sense. I got another analogue, two actually.
I saw myself as the fire of Jesus' heart, creation of fire, creature on fire. Then I started to work with my fire, casting it out into the world around me. I saw others around me and as I sent forth my fire their souls lit up, each one with its own tongue of fire.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. - Acts 2:3
I saw myself as Jesus, ministering to a crowd. I was feeding them bread and they consumed it eagerly.
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes will never go thirsty." - John 6:35
I pray your heart will gorge eagerly as I have ministered today, and you will practice the principles you have learned. You might just find that your fire is the most monumental blessing of your life. I did.
