While praying in the prayer room with others this morning, the Lord unfolded the following vision:
I am standing in the Throne Room, and I see the crystal floor before the Throne. All of the Hosts are in attendance, as well as saints. As I am watching, the crystal floor suddenly disappears as great shafts of light explode through it and they shoot up through the floor filling the whole room with brilliant light.
Then, as my vision is enabled to see within this brilliance, I see the multitudes gathered and lined up before the Throne. Each saint had an instrument of some sort in their hands. There were swords, rods, scepters, scrolls, axes, urns, boxes, varieties of worship instruments and articles, pouches, and other things that I could not see as the line was too long.
The saints each would approach the Throne, and each would choose whether or not to lay down their instruments before the Lord. Some did and some did not. Those who didn't left the Throne Room with their heads down. I do not know where they went to. Those who did, had such a reverent demeanor and worshipped as they laid down their instruments, and then they backed up and stood amongst the multitudes again.
After each had done this, then a great cloud entered into the room and descended upon the instruments that laid in a pile before the Throne. The pile was surrounded by the cloud and suddenly a fire erupted upon the pile. It blazed and cracked as it roared. It burned the offerings, and the fire was awesome to watch.
Then great bolts of lightning break out and strike the burned offerings and also striked throughout the room. It was awesome and terrifying to stand in the lightning as it flew all over. The instruments were engulfed in the flames and the lightning could be seen in the flames as it hit the instruments. The lightning strikes caused the burnt instruments to begin to glow and illuminate within. After awhile the fires died down, and the glowing instruments could be seen amongst the ashes.
The Lord watched as we all beheld the transformation. The lightning then ceased and everything was quiet. It was a terrible silence, and the fear of the Lord was so strong. I knew that something of great importance had transpired and also was about to begin. I began to tremble and I saw that others did too. We watched as the Lord then stands, and he extends His hand to the pile of burnt but now glowing instruments.
Then, He turned to us who were standing there, and told us each to take one from the pile. One by one, we each ascended and took an instrument and held it in our hands. Remarkably, as we took it and held it in our hands, it suddenly entered into us and was gone. I looked at the others, and it happened to them too. Then they began to glow like the instrument did. I looked down, and I was glowing too. I was awed at the change that had happened. Then we all knelt before the Throne and worshipped. His Glory broke out and filled the Room even greater than before.
Then, the Lord smiled, as we all were standing there new, and His eyes were flames of Fire. Such a love flowed out of them into us as we stood before Him. He shouted, "Arise!" It thundered across the heavens like a tidal wave and hit us, and we all stood. Great Lightning cracked as He spoke and it shook the heavens, and all the Hosts stood also.
The Father said to us then, "You are each now My Living Instruments. What you formerly were is now passed away, as I have brought you each through the transition. What you formerly were has now passed, and because you freely gave Me all that you were and had formerly accomplished, now I am able to give you all that I have called you to be, for the days ahead."
"Many cannot lay down their former works, accomplishments, and positions, and they will lose their inheritance and their positions. They fear the loss of their identity that they had erected while serving Me. This had to be done. All Glory is Mine and must be given to Me alone. Many cannot let go of their own lives and lay it down for Me. So, they will not be My instruments in this next phase. What I bring forth now is greater and demands everything from you. I am your sole identity. I am your works. I am your first love. I am your Lord."
"You are My Living Instruments. I will wield you as I choose, in the manner I choose, and when I choose. You are in My Hand. I will turn you this way and that way. Your offering to Me is accepted, and I now give you a greater portion of Myself in return. It is time to be Flaming Firebrands in My Hand."
"The Days of Fire have already begun. You have yet to see the greater fires hit the earth, but it comes. It is now going to blaze greatly across the lands, as I make Myself known. For My Flaming Winds already blow, but will multiply as you go forth. The greater fires will totally rout out all leaven from My House. The Lightning will strike every root and eradicate them, and bring separation and division in My House. It will be pure again. My Lightning now descends. All that hides in the darkness will be forced out and exposed before Me and before men. Men will see the Truth."
"You, My Living Instruments, will no longer be laboring as men do or have done in the past, but will now be as extensions of My very Hand. You will all be as one hand, My Hand, throughout the lands that I will send you to. For My Lightning will rout everything, and My Fire will burn up all the fleshly works, and reveal the true state of mens hearts. All of the idols will be destroyed."
"You will go forth, changed, and transformed as I have just shown you, and you will move as I move, and do as I do. It is greater than anything that you have ever known, for I have not shown My final operations yet to any generation, but you will see them, and be My extensions, through which I will release them. Do not try to walk with Me as you formerly did, but allow Me to flow out of you."
Then the Lightning began to roar, and the heavens shook, and the smoke of the Father filled the room, and we all fell on our faces. The whole of the Heavens was greatly shaken and the Hosts now stood at attention.
Then I heard:
The Great Thunders began to sound and to utter from the Heavens into the earth below:
Great is the Day of Fire-
Woe to those who refuse to turn to the Lord in this Hour!
Great is the final Hour of Trial that now opens-
Woe to those who love their lives more than the Lord!
Great is the Thunder of His Voice in the earth-
Woe to those who refuse to listen and to take heed!
Great is the Display of the Father's Hand-
Woe to those who are offended by the Lord's moving and who prevent others from responding!
Great is the Purging Fires that will now burn across the lands-
Woe to those who will run from the Fire and not into it!
Great is the Sword of the Lord now released in the final measure-
Woe to those who are judged by it and surrender not!
Great is the Lord who is now seen in all the earth-
Woe to those who will curse God and persecute His people!
Then, the vision lifted, and I was still praying and worshipping in the prayer room........
