Soon, very soon God will destroy His places of the assembly-(2:6) "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God"(1 Pet:4:17). "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven; that that which remains is of Christ alone". The judgment of fire is upon us! "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men" (2 Pet:3:7). We are in this "day of judgment" so well chronicled in scripture. I believe this is the true cause of global warming, a reflection in the natural of a spiritual reality. As it did on Sodom and Gomorrah, the fire of God will fall on this earth, consuming all wickedness and rebellion against Him and "every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day (of judgment of our God) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall reveal every man's work of what sort it is" (1 Cor:3:13). "He poured out his fury like fire"(Lam:2:4).My people, the only way to survive this fire is to already be in it! You must join Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in having the honor of being despised and rejected of men and letting man throw you into the fire made by men, to survive the fire of God.
The fire man casts you into is nothing compared to the fire God will cast them into for Eternity, for in the fire they put you in, the Lord is found! Jesus is the "stone which the builders rejected", those who built the temple made with hands (men who are claiming to build, to do a work for God, for His Glory), reject Him who is the chief corner stone of the temple made without hands. Of Himself, Jesus said he must "suffer many things and be rejected of this generation" - and so today, He is still suffering at the hands of ungodly men as each of us, his true Body, are treated the same way. Yet for all this He calls us blessed - "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake" (Mt:5). Wrap your heart around this fact - you're going to go through fire!
You'd much rather have man cast you into fire than God (remember, the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity, and is set on fire of hell, so the fire they cast us into is the one Jesus spoke of when he said they shall say all manner of evil against us). If you try to preserve your life and avoid this fire by obeying man and not God, by bowing to that which man creates (denominationalism) and demands you submit to, you will lose your life.
If you refuse to bow to Babylon, with it's exaltation of man (Satan's fruit), with it's adulterous, idolatrous ways, you will save your life. When the fire of God falls, let it find you already consumed by it "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire" (Lk:3:16).
When my house burnt down with most of my possessions, the next day I went and stood in the midst of all that devastation and destruction and the Word of the Lord came to me. As I gazed upon the blackened, soot filled room, covered in ashes, He said "everything that is not given to Me will end up in a tragedy". He then opened my eyes and explained to me, we are all going to be consumed forever by fire - either the fire of the
Holy Ghost or the lake of fire, forever we will either dwell in Holiness or wickedness. The only question is, which one? The fire of the HOLY Ghost, that cleanses us of all that is unholy or unclean, or the fire of hell, that removes all that is Holy and good from us?
As I stood there, He showed me in my spirit, a tiger hunt from India and He told me, if we submit to His fire, it will drive our enemies out of our souls and spirits for they can't abide in it. Anything unclean and unholy in us will flee before His Holy fire (in India, they will light fires to flush the man-eating tiger, their enemy, out).
He then showed me a fire purposely lit in a forest to combat another fire. A controlled fire to fight a wild fire. They will light a fire to burn a patch of ground so when the other fire comes, there is nothing left to burn and it dies. So it is with us. If we will give up ground (our flesh, fleshly lusts and desires) to God and let Him burn
away all that is unclean in us, when the enemy comes to set us on fire of hell, He can't touch us for there's nothing left in us for him to consume! Like Jesus, we'll say "the prince of the world cometh, and hath nothing in me". The more of our soul we give to God, the less of us Satan can influence and posses.
