Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 33
Isaiah 61
Ezekiel 20:33-49
41 As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations. 42 And you will know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land which I swore to give to your forefathers. 43 There you will remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all the evil things that you have done.44 Then you will know that I am the Lord when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.’”
Ezekiel 20:41-44
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Joy is bubbling beneath the surface. Joy is simmering, bubbling and coming to a low boil, but soon I will cause a great joy explosion. I will cause geysers of joy to erupt from the hearts of men and women, boys and girls. It’s about Me. It’s about truth. It’s about firm, anchored identity. It’s about worth. It’s about value. It’s about knowing who they are, because they know whose they are. Great joy, great sunny days of joy are upon us. My children will know that they are Mine. My children who have wandered for years fatherless, confused and alone will walk smack into the revelation, to the understanding, to the fact that I Am their father. They have wandered and they have wondered. They have searched and they have run away. But My love will encompass them My love will settle over them like a great dome, and the scales will fall off of their eyes, the shields and walls surrounding their hearts will crumble, and they will be made whole in My love. They will be made whole at the foot of the cross. They will be made whole in Jesus. They will be made whole in My love, and then they will erupt as if they have been shot out of a cannon of joy.
7 Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,
Isaiah 61:7-11
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 For I, the Lord, love justice,
I hate robbery in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
And make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
This is where the wildfire is lit. The wildfire of revival is lit when My children who have wandered and my children who have wondered become certain of their parentage, their heritage and their home. When wanderers and wonderers find themselves loved, whole and in family, when they recognize themselves as beloved sons and daughters, they will move with the power and the speed of cannonballs being shot across enemy lines, and they will set this whole world on fire with the revelation ammunition of Me. This firepower, this wildfire will smoke out the enemy. It will cause the enemy to flee, and it will cause the enemy to get burned.
13 “You who are far away, hear what I have done;
Isaiah 33:13-17
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 Sinners in Zion are terrified;
Trembling has seized the godless.
“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with continual burning?”
15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
16 He will dwell on the heights,
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
They will behold a far-distant land.
Destruction and desolation will come to the camp of the enemy as this wildfire revival spreads, because all that cannot stand in the blazing fire will find that it is destroyed by it. This wildfire will birth countless fiery ones who run swiftly with light hearts and clean hands, who worship in purity and power at the throne of grace. These are days of revival wildfire like you have never seen. And just like the destructive wildfires of today, the enemy will only have himself to blame.
45 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,46 “Son of man, set your face toward Teman, and speak out against the south and prophesy against the forest land of the Negev, 47 and say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of the Lord: thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched and the whole surface from south to north will be burned by it. 48 All flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”’”
Ezekiel 20:45-48
The enemy could never fully quench this flame. He has overplayed his hand, and now he finds himself playing with fire that he cannot withstand. I the Lord, Am a consuming fire, an all consuming fire. Come unto Me, become like Me you who were made in My image. And you will burn like Me, unquenching and pure, a holy fire that never smolders out, a fire of passion, purity and love that only destroys lies, wickedness and death. Watch as My holy fire, the wildfire revival jumps from one town to the next, one city to the next, one state to the next, one nation to the next. The whole world will burn with fiery, holy passion for Christ their King.
How to Respond
- Ask the Lord to light afresh a fire of joy and revival in your heart. Ask Him to reveal and burn away anything that is hindering you from walking in wholeness, identity, purity and joy.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, light your fire afresh in me. Burn up anything in my life — any mindset, lie, habit or relationship that is holding me back from being a holy, pure, passionate flaming fire for You. Come for the prodigals — the wanderers and the wonderers in my life [name them]. Encompass them with Your love. Cause the scales to fall from their eyes and the walls and shields surrounding their hearts to crumble. Bring them to a place of powerful, undeniable, irreversible knowledge and surrender to You. Light the world on fire with Your love and joy that You birth in them.
- Declare, the Lord is bringing the wanderers and the wonderers into powerful encounters with His love, with the truth of Jesus and into real identity. He will light the world on fire with the joy and passion they find in His presence.
- Decree, my wandering and wondering loved ones [name them] will have powerful encounters with the love of Christ. They will be transformed in His presence, and they will take the world by storm. The world will be enveloped by the wildfire of revival, and only what is holy and pure will withstand this firestorm of love and purity that was authored by and made for King Jesus.
