FRESH FIRE IS FALLING - IAN JOHNSON
A season of fire is upon
us. A glory fire that will transform our DNA and challenge the
iniquities of many generations in our family line. This is the fire that
John the baptist proclaimed that Jesus would baptize us with. In the
Wigglesworth meetings in Wellington NZ in 1922 everyone declared a fire
that burned in their hearts; this went on for years after the meetings.
Recently
I have received some major visitation regarding a new season of fire,
The day of the Lord is at hand when Elijah will fore run the great and
notable day of the Lord. The entire bride is about to move in the spirit
of Elijah, even as John the Baptist announced the day of the Lord's
coming the first time, so Elijah in the bride is set to announce his
coming again.
Why do we need this fire?
When we present an
offering upon the altar of the Lord, the altar remains just a piece of
rock until the introduction of fire. Fire brings a release of incense to
God, without fire the altar is just rock and the sacrifice is just
meat. But in the instant that fire is introduced it becomes an offering
acceptable before the Lord. In this word I want to demonstrate the
difference between the “purging fire” of the altar that deals with our
sins and shortcomings through repentance and the “glory fire” which
flashes out of heaven or draws us into heavens transformation.
In
both instances we need to present ourselves before the Lord. Romans
12:1-2 (ASV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may
prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
In
the purging fire we present the offering with our Repentance, worship
and prayer. This fire burns and consumes our sins as we release them
into the blood of Jesus. This is our reasonable service according to Rom
12
In the glory fire which flashes out of heaven He provides
the fire. We acknowledge the sacrifice which is Christ, yield and
abandon ourselves into His work, we step into His sacrifice and then we
are offered in Christ. This fire burns but does not consume, rather like
Gold in the furnace it transforms our substance from glory to glory and
changes our DNA into the image of Christ. Jesus has already been judged
for our sin and He has been found acceptable. When we are “in him” we
enter the acceptable sacrifice and judgments pass over us.
Purging fire brings relationship through repentance and worship and the glory fire transforms us into the image of Christ.
Leviticus
chapter 1 – 10 describes the various sacrifices and their preparation
and always there is fire, which is the purging fire of repentance and
worship. Leviticus 1:7 says that the priest is the one who puts the fire
on the altar: In Leviticus 6:13 there is a command to keep the fire
burning continually. Our role as priests is to step into the sacrifice
which is Christ and in Him the creator of the universe, we release the
fire of heaven.
This is our reasonable sacrifice; don’t let
anyone tell you that you don’t need to come before the Lord in worship
and repentance which is allowing the Lord through fire to bring us into
mindset changes that allow God to be God in our life. ( That’s what
repentance is, it is a complete mindset change, a 180 degree turn) I
don’t want to dwell on the purifying fire too much in this article,
rather I want to look at instances where the glory fire flashed down out
of heaven and its consequence in the lives of those it touched.
The
first instance of the glory fire found in scripture is in Genesis
19:24. The judgment of Sodom. It flashes out of heaven and brings
judgment on the sins of the flesh and against rebellion of the heart. It
also destroys the wrong spiritual doors the people of Sodom were
opening through their interaction with fallen angles.
This is
the first time fire is mentioned in the Bible, under the law of first
mention it creates a precedent – Fire destroyed what? …
The men
of Sodom wanted to know (“Yada”) the angels. The same word is used when
it says “And Adam ‘knew’ his wife Eve and she conceived” but it is also
used in Daniel where it says. ‘Those who do know (Yada) their God shall
be strong and do exploits’. How did they know they could come into this
level of union with the angelic? Because the sin of Sodom was more than
homosexuality (although that was one of the doors), it was opening a
spiritual gate through DNA into the heavens. (Yada,) with spiritual
beings to trade into the universe and the dimensions and realms of the
spirit. The beings were using it to try and trade themselves back into
the Garden of Eden, The men of Sodom were using it to access higher
spiritual power.
Lot, Abrahams Nephew who lived in Sodom was
infected by what he saw, (2 Pet 2:8) says Lot was Vexed in his spirit)
his DNA was damaged because of encounters in Sodom. What was the fruit
of Lots life? He slept with his daughters and they each bore him a son
Moab & Ammon. Both Moab & Ammon were destroyed in generations to
come because of faulty DNA which caused them to constantly go feral. So
the first instance of fire flashing out of heaven was to destroy faulty
DNA obtained by opening portals by communing with fallen angels. The
same thing that caused the judgment, through the great flood.
The
second instance of fire flashing out of heaven is in the burning bush
with Moses. Ex 3:2-5 (NLT) The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement.
Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn’t burn up. “This is
amazing,” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must
go see it.” When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God
called to him from the middle of the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “Here I am!”
Moses replied. “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off
your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.
The third
instance is in the pillar of fire, first mentioned in; Ex 13:21-22 (NLT)
the Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a
pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire.
This allowed them to travel by day or by night. And the Lord did not
remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of
the people.
The forth instance was seen on Mt Sinai; Ex 19:17-18
(NLT) Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood
at the foot of the mountain. All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke
because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke
billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole
mountain shook violently.
The fifth instance is when Elijah
calls down fire on the prophets of Baal. Found in 1 Kings 18. and also
when Elijah called down fire on the captain and his fifty sent to seek
Elijah out in 2 Kings 1.
The Sixth instance involved the
building of the altar in the place where the Holy of Holies would be. 1
Chronicles 21:26-27 David built an altar there to the Lord and
sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings. And when David prayed,
the Lord answered him by sending fire from heaven to burn up the
offering on the altar. Then the Lord spoke to the angel, who put the
sword back into its sheath.
The seventh instance is at the
dedication of the temple. 2 Chron 7:1-3 (NLT) When Solomon finished
praying, fire flashed down from heaven and burned up the burnt offerings
and sacrifices, and the glorious presence of the Lord filled the
Temple. The priests could not enter the Temple of the Lord because the
glorious presence of the Lord filled it. When all the people of Israel
saw the fire coming down and the glorious presence of the Lord filling
the Temple, they fell face down on the ground and worshiped and praised
the Lord
Seven times fire flashed out of heaven in the old
covenant, which lines up with the seven spirits of God, (Isaiah 11 &
the first five chapters of the book of Revelation) who themselves are
full of fire.
Seven times fire flashed out of heaven and each time it manifested an aspect of the seven spirits of God.
1) The spirit of the Lord. - Moses and the burning bush
2) The Spirit of wisdom - Solomon was granted Godly wisdom to establish Gods house.
3) The Spirit of understanding - David gained understanding about where to build the altar of the Lord
4) The Spirit of counsel – The Spirit of Counsel was released through Moses on Sinai
5) The Spirit of Might – Elijah calling down fire
6)
The Spirit of Knowledge – The pillar of fire guided (gave them
Knowledge as to where they were meant to be on any given day/night)
7) The spirit of the fear of the Lord. – Judgment on Sodom
Now
let me tie all this together so we can see how it all applies to our
lives in the new covenant. Jesus is the perfect and ultimate sacrifice
totally acceptable and pleasing to the Lord. In our abandonment to Him
we partake of that sacrifice we are in Him and he is in us, we are the
sacrifice in Him.
How did God respond to that sacrifice as
demonstrated in the body of Christ? (The 120 in the upper room) He
responded in Fire on the day of Pentecost, (Acts 2 Fire appeared as a
flame over each persons head) confirming a new glory and a new covenant.
This
is one of the forgotten baptisms found in Jesus. Remember John the
Baptist said “I baptize you with water, but He (Jesus) will baptize you
with fire” We are enter into this baptism in Him.
This is not
the purging fire, because that fire is activated by our actions, Worship
and repentance. It is the glory fire which transforms. The release of
the baptism of fire brings a release of the seven spirits of God in our
lives. This is a major transformational weapon almost totally ignored in
much of the Church. When we enter into the fire that flashes out of
heaven upon the sacrifice of Jesus which is in us as we are in him, we
enter into the seven fold glory of God. No one can stand in this glory
unless we first stand in Him, nothing can stand against Us as we stand
in Him.
In heaven the elders, the living creatures and the
beings before the throne manifest the fire of His glory, as they do they
manifest the four faces of the Eagle, the Ox, the Lion and the man, as
we enter into this fire we also begin to manifest the four faces of the
living fire of heaven. As we abandon ourselves to Him in it we manifest
the glory reflected in the seven spirits of God. The weapons of our
warfare are not carnal but spiritual for the pulling down of
strongholds. Our warfare isn’t so much what we say, but it is who we are
and what we manifest in HIM. We manifest the glory fire when we enter
into Him.
In Him, We manifest the Spirit of the fear of the
Lord, as he judges sin and the flesh. We manifest the Spirit of
Knowledge, The spirit of wisdom, the spirit of counsel, the Spirit of
might, the spirit of understanding and the spirit of the Lord.
How do we enter this flashing glory fire?
We
enter in his breath, in Him we enter his breath and in his breath we
are caught into the glory fire in heaven which surrounds the throne,
"GloryFire" This is the fire John was caught into when he heard the
words come up here. The Greek word used is Pnuemati. This word was also
used when Paul said he was caught up...Pnuemati
Pneu = breath
Mati = propelled or under pressure
Pneumatic
drill- Pneumatic tyre etc are modern words that reflect the word
Pnuemati and may help us understand entering the flashing fire,
propelled in the breath of God, as we come into total union with Christ.
This
is the fire he is calling us to walk in. We can only walk in this fire
when we enter into Him. In Him we are seated in heavenly places, in
heavenly places the fire of God manifests day and night. In him and only
in Him our generations are made clean, our DNA is straightened and
aligned, we become a bride without spot, (our generations chromosomes
& autosomes) or wrinkle (Our DNA is straightened) This is the
meaning of Jesus coming for a Bride with out spot (generational
iniquity) or Wrinkle (Generational DNA structure) This is the fire we
need to enter into in order to see the revelation of the Sons of God in
the earth. As we abandon ourselves to Him, then IN Him we will manifest
this fire in the earth; we become the fire in HIM.

It is Time, Are You Ready for Your Next Adventure with Me?

As you can see, this came in the wee hours this morning. Isn't God awesome? I love waking up knowing that He is near. I thought this was just for me, but He says there are many others who need to see and hear this also, as it is for them too, He must be multi-tasking again! I know He loves for us to share, so here it is..... If it for you also, You will know..... May God Bless you all! Please share as the Lord leads. Love, Bev
It is Time, Are You Ready for Your Next Adventure with Me? Beverly Juelsgaard- Fischer
I woke up early this morning, got up, and walked around the bedroom, not sure what woke me. I began to praise the Lord in tongues, closing my eyes and singing. I had my bedroom lights on, and then a brighter light was coming from my left and center, as I had my back to the door. I have awakened at this time, the last three nights, and have prayed through the resistance, but I finally realized something is battling to break through and it wasn't just resistance to my worshipping the Lord.
I had my hands raised in the air, and continued in tongues, and a great peace flooded me. I knew it was the presence of the Lord. I waited, and I then felt like I was to put my hands out, like He had something for me. So I put my hands out to receive and was given a pile of new weapons that were wrapped in a cloth. I say pile, because there were many different types of swords lying across my arms, some like I`ve not seen before, many lengths and widths all laying across my arms. There were other weapons also, but I don't even know what you would call them, much less try to describe them. There were so many, they should have been heavy, but for as many as there were, they were incredibly light.
He said, "These are weapons for the days ahead. I will teach you how to use them. Be ready and waiting, for I will call again. There is much to do to prepare for the upcoming battles and tribulation that are coming. You have been preparing mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially, as I have been teaching you and told you to do so, for the days ahead will not be easy for anyone who serves Me.
There were even times that you selfishly thought, as all humans do, that you were the only one going through something. But you are never alone, for I am always with you. There is also no way that I could amass an army the size that I need for the days ahead if you all went through things one at a time. So even in your trials and tribulations of life, you are never alone. There is always someone else going through something, and often times, worse or much worse, than what you are going through.
So it is time for the next door to be opened. It is time for the next lessons to start. It is time, for the new adventure to begin. Any with passivity or complacency, must tell them to go, for there will not room for them, where you are going. You cannot afford to fall behind. It will be of imminent importance that you stay abreast with Me and those who follow Me. You are not in this alone, you are part of My Team, The Redeemed. UNITY WITH ME, IS A KEY.
Obedience will be a key factor in this, as it always is. For it is only through your obedience to Me, that you have come this far, that you have learned the lessons needed for the days ahead.
1. You have learned that the more obedient you are the faster and more smoothly you learn a lesson.
2. You have learned that to be disobedient, you always pay a price. It may be a costly price to get back on-track, and you will generally have to repeat the lesson.
3. You have learned to say "YES!" to Me, in a more willing manner, and that it is worth the cost, besides, if you are with Me you are always on the winning team.
4. You have learned that your obedience to Me, can be a life or death manner for yourself or others. This can be in prayer for yourself or others or in other things that will affect you or others in many ways. It pays to pray and be obedient!
It will be only through your obedience in the days ahead that you will continue to go on the path that I have called you to. You have all come too far, to turn back, and might I say, if you did, the enemy would certainly love to literally eat you alive. He would much rather have you at his supper table than at Mine, regardless of your appearance.
It is the wish of man that there be no tribulation, no war, no hardship, no pain, nor suffering. But it is out of the trials and tribulations of life that you become who you are. When you sit placidly by, your mind becomes dull and you become set in your ways. It is as you sit in one place that you begin to become set there, as if you would never leave it, kind of like a statue that is cemented in place. It is as you are sitting, that your muscles and bones become slack and you forget what it is that I have for you. You become complacent, and willful, wanting to stay the same and you think, "Life is good, so there is no reason to change."
It is not for you or any man to stay the same and that is why I bring change. You were all created in My image in the beginning, but because of the power of choice, you allowed it to change you, through your own choice. It was the rebellion of My rules to not eat of the Tree of Good and Evil that caused you to be exposed and thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Man could have lived forever, happily there, but chose not to.
Yea, though My Son has redeemed you from your sins and all those who choose to be born again in Me, you still must battle and overcome those things that are placed before you. This is so that you will become more like Me. For even My Son had to battle, to get where He is at. So regardless of who you are, it is not easy and change is a necessary catalyst that propels you forward or backward, depending on your choices and it generally causes you to seek Me.
You would say, but Lord, "I don't want to go through hardship. I don't want to hurt, or see others hurt. I don't want to suffer or have pain."
Again I say, My Son had to do all of this. Are you saying you are better than He? Are you saying you can change into becoming more like Me, without the pain, hardships, and suffering?
It is rather funny that you would say that, because very few change willingly, although Mary was one. Mary chose to have My will above any she would have. But then, that is one of the reasons she was chosen as My Son's earthly mother. Even as she chose My will above hers, she still chose and received change in many forms. Change that brought her great joy, hardship, love, tears of frustration and great sorrow. All of this was change that brought forth My Son, for all of mankind. Mary chose My will as her own, so that she could serve Me, without knowing what was ahead of her, without thinking about the "what if's". She just did it, not knowing what she would have to go through, much less what Jesus would go through, and what she would be a part of.
So it is with this, that I come and say, "Change is at your doorstep. It is coming, whether you want it or not. So even if you don't choose to change, there will be a price to pay.
I have brought new weapons for you to learn and use. If you do not learn them and how to use them, that will be your choice also, but I cannot say then that you will survive what is coming. It will be necessary for you to embrace the new weapons, teachings, and all else that I have for you, for you to survive what is coming and to become more like Me. That is what you have said all along, that you wanted to be more like Me. So here it is. It is time for you to step into the new. It is time to embrace the changes that I am setting before you now, so that you will unfold and become all that I have for you.
For the cocoon is ready to be opened, and the butterfly is read to emerge, into the beautiful, joyous, and incredible creature that I have created it to be. Will it come out without the struggle and pain of new birth? No, it cannot come out of the cocoon without struggle and pain, or it will not survive. The more it struggles, the stronger it gets, the more strategies it learns, the more power it receives.
So, it is with you. I do not expect you to come forth easily into all that I have for you, for it will take much on your part to learn and do what I am calling you to. Embrace what I give you and be willing to change, that is part of it, without the whining and complaining, without the "what if's". Come with a joyful heart and what I put before you will not be as hard as it may look. Appearance isn't everything; you should know that by now. What looks good on the outside, isn't always so on the inside. I want you good on the inside and to shine so brilliantly with My light, that people will not recognize you for who you are. For they will see the transformed one that I have created, the one who looks more and more like Me as each lesson is passed and each word is carefully and wisely spoken, as if I were saying it Myself. So even as you seek Me and worship Me even more in the days ahead, you will know that I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Way, the only Way that you will become what you were intended for. My Truth is life-giving. It is as you learn My Truth, that your eyes are opened and you will learn in a way you have not learned before, for you will soak in My Light and be filled with My Glory for all to see and your heart will receive all that I have for it, at this time. I am Life, to all who welcome Me into their lives and hearts, as their Lord and Savior. With those kinds of benefits, why would you choose something else? It is time. Are you ready for your next adventure with Me?

You have all come too far, to turn back, and might I say, if you did, the enemy would certainly love to literally eat you alive. He would much rather have you at his supper table than at Mine, regardless of your appearance.
It is the wish of man that there be no tribulation, no war, no hardship, no pain, nor suffering. But it is out of the trials and tribulations of life that you become who you are. When you sit placidly by, your mind becomes dull and you become set in your ways. It is as you sit in one place that you begin to become set there, as if you would never leave it, kind of like a statue that is cemented in place. It is as you are sitting, that your muscles and bones become slack and you forget what it is that I have for you. You become complacent, and willful, wanting to stay the same and you think, "Life is good, so there is no reason to change."
It is not for you or any man to stay the same and that is why I bring change. You were all created in My image in the beginning, but because of the power of choice, you allowed it to change you, through your own choice. It was the rebellion of My rules to not eat of the Tree of Good and Evil that caused you to be exposed and thrown out of the Garden of Eden. Man could have lived forever, happily there, but chose not to.
Yea, though My Son has redeemed you from your sins and all those who choose to be born again in Me, you still must battle and overcome those things that are placed before you. This is so that you will become more like Me. For even My Son had to battle, to get where He is at. So regardless of who you are, it is not easy and change is a necessary catalyst that propels you forward or backward, depending on your choices and it generally causes you to seek Me.
You would say, but Lord, "I don't want to go through hardship. I don't want to hurt, or see others hurt. I don't want to suffer or have pain."
Again I say, My Son had to do all of this. Are you saying you are better than He? Are you saying you can change into becoming more like Me, without the pain, hardships, and suffering?
It is rather funny that you would say that, because very few change willingly, although Mary was one. Mary chose to have My will above any she would have. But then, that is one of the reasons she was chosen as My Son's earthly mother. Even as she chose My will above hers, she still chose and received change in many forms. Change that brought her great joy, hardship, love, tears of frustration and great sorrow. All of this was change that brought forth My Son, for all of mankind. Mary chose My will as her own, so that she could serve Me, without knowing what was ahead of her, without thinking about the "what if's". She just did it, not knowing what she would have to go through, much less what Jesus would go through, and what she would be a part of.
So it is with this, that I come and say, "Change is at your doorstep. It is coming, whether you want it or not. So even if you don't choose to change, there will be a price to pay.
I have brought new weapons for you to learn and use. If you do not learn them and how to use them, that will be your choice also, but I cannot say then that you will survive what is coming. It will be necessary for you to embrace the new weapons, teachings, and all else that I have for you, for you to survive what is coming and to become more like Me. That is what you have said all along, that you wanted to be more like Me. So here it is. It is time for you to step into the new. It is time to embrace the changes that I am setting before you now, so that you will unfold and become all that I have for you.
For the cocoon is ready to be opened, and the butterfly is read to emerge, into the beautiful, joyous, and incredible creature that I have created it to be. Will it come out without the struggle and pain of new birth? No, it cannot come out of the cocoon without struggle and pain, or it will not survive. The more it struggles, the stronger it gets, the more strategies it learns, the more power it receives.
So, it is with you. I do not expect you to come forth easily into all that I have for you, for it will take much on your part to learn and do what I am calling you to. Embrace what I give you and be willing to change, that is part of it, without the whining and complaining, without the "what if's". Come with a joyful heart and what I put before you will not be as hard as it may look. Appearance isn't everything; you should know that by now. What looks good on the outside, isn't always so on the inside. I want you good on the inside and to shine so brilliantly with My light, that people will not recognize you for who you are. For they will see the transformed one that I have created, the one who looks more and more like Me as each lesson is passed and each word is carefully and wisely spoken, as if I were saying it Myself. So even as you seek Me and worship Me even more in the days ahead, you will know that I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Way, the only Way that you will become what you were intended for. My Truth is life-giving. It is as you learn My Truth, that your eyes are opened and you will learn in a way you have not learned before, for you will soak in My Light and be filled with My Glory for all to see and your heart will receive all that I have for it, at this time. I am Life, to all who welcome Me into their lives and hearts, as their Lord and Savior. With those kinds of benefits, why would you choose something else? It is time. Are you ready for your next adventure with Me?
