Morning by Morning, January 13, 2025 - “Consuming Fire”—First the Counterfeit of the Enemy’s Destruction, then the Real Thing of God’s Revival Fire! Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name above every name, as I wait for Your word that’s greater than every word. ... “I came to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49). As all the world continues to cry out for Your mercy and Your Divine Intervention for all who are facing these horrendous fires in California, I’m also sensing a word of hope and an invitation for expectant faith of something greater to come. You redeem all things; You turn all things around, even devastating things, as we keep turning to You and trusting in You through it all (Romans 8:28-29). The enemy of our souls--the thief who comes to steal and kill and destroy--is a counterfeit, a copycat, seeking to corrupt and destroy Your creation (John 10:10). He’s the spirit of antichrist trying to replace and displace the true Christ; he’s a false god always trying to exalt himself to replace the One True God (Isaiah 14:12-21). You’re the mighty Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), while he’s prowling around like a lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). You move in Your true power to bring Your Light and Your Truth into our world, while he tries to move in false signs and lying wonders to destroy and deceive our world (2 Thessalonians 2:9). What’s coming to me is that these destructive, devastating winds and fires on the edge of our nation may be our enemy’s counterfeit move of the Your true move to come. Right now, we are enduring false winds and false fires sent to steal and kill and destroy. But there’s a Wind coming! There’s a Fire falling! There’s a move of God that will consume our land in Revival Fire again! You are the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and Fire! (Luke 3:16) You came for that very purpose--to bring Your Holy Fire on the earth (Luke 12:49). And You’re still coming to bring Holy Fire in the hearts of people and in the nations of the earth whose hearts are kindled to receive You and this great move of Your Spirit! At just the right time, in the fullness of time--Your time, not the enemy’s time; Your way, not the enemy’s way--send Your Wind; send Your Fire (Acts 2:2-3)! The enemy brings death; You bring life (John 10:10). His fires come to steal, kill, and destroy; Your Fire comes to purify, sanctify, empower, consume all that’s not yet like You so that You will have a people with passion for You and for our world with a Holy Fire in their hearts that consumes the earth. “For our God is a Consuming Fire!” (Hebrews 12:29). So we pray against this counterfeit; and we pray for the true thing to come! Even as we pray for Your Divine Intervention in these devastating fires, we’re also praying for Your Divine Intervention in the heart of our nation for the Consuming Revival Fires to come burn across our land and in our hearts! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
