There has been a word burning in my heart and that word is “prepare”
God is moving His bride beyond the conventional and the traditional. His goal is to bring us into full, experiential possession by the Holy Spirit. God is releasing radicals, fanatics and extremists in this hour who are absolutely infected with a craving for the Glory realm. A militant bride is emerging who will walk in fiery, passionate authority on the one hand, and a glorious supernatural intimacy and ecstasy on the other. Two of the main thrusts that will mark this fresh Glory awakening is a deeper realm of intimacy and the other is a radical boldness with legislative authority.
This is the blazing zeal of the Lord that is kindled in the furnace of divine jealousy of the Bridegroom. James 4:5 TPT “Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous lover who intensely desires more and more of us”? This jealousy does not allow us to bow to the fear of man or idolize religious structure of any kind. This is a violent love.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force (Matt. 11:12)
Jesus is the violent One who took this kingdom by force. And we are anointed with His zeal. This aggressive, militant passion is about to sweep the church, but for those who are infected by this move of God’s Spirit, prepare for some misunderstanding! This fire will swiftly strip you of your man-pleasing spirit. The fresh authority that comes with freedom from the fear of man will begin to freak out many of those around you! Those who choose to walk in this fire should be prepared for this: for you to simply walk into a room, the atmosphere you carry will draw a line in the sand!
Song of Songs 8:6 TPT “Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion (or jealousy) is stronger than the chains of death and the grace, all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being.” Although this is an intense fire, it is a most delightful flame. As the Bride of the Son of God, we have become one with Him. Understanding how beautiful and accepted you are in His eyes will begin to unlock a ferocity within you to see Heaven manifesting in the earth. When God looks at you, he sees a beautiful and yet militant bride.
Song of Songs 6:10 TPT “Look at you now arising as the dayspring of the dawn, fair as the shining moon. Bright and brilliant as the sun in all its strength. Astonishing to behold as a majestic army waving banners of victory.”
The wildfire of God’s Spirit is empowering a generation of dread champions who will become a holy terror to the enemy. They will walk fully saturated in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. Their lives will demonstrate heaven on earth.
