Jewels from Judy: FIRE OF HOPE A Vision Followed By A Word From The Lord Friends, I first shared this in March 2009 and believe it is important for our times. I pray it blesses you. In the Father’s love, FIRE OF HOPE FIRST: I saw myself standing in the middle of a room with words that were strung together circling my head. As they were going around me, some would go in my ear and through my head and then out of my mouth. They were words of every kind - words of encouragement and words of life; words of criticism and death. The words that I took in, whether good or bad, eventually came out of my mouth. The words of encouragement, comfort, and edification were from the kingdom of God and brought forth life. They originated from faith, hope, and love and came from the One who loves me. The words of criticism, condemnation, and discouragement were rooted in fear and originated from the kingdom of darkness. They brought forth death and discontentment. The words of death were determined to bring havoc and confusion and were from the one who hates not only me but everyone, as we are made in God's image. SECOND: I saw myself begin to dance in flames of the love of God. As I danced, all of the words caught on fire. Those of Satan's domain were burnt up and created a sickly green flame accompanied by a strong odor of sulfur; but the words of the Lord were on fire with flames of yellow, orange, red, and blue. These words were not consumed by the fire, and their flames danced with the rhythm of the music. They gave off a wonderful lasting scent of flowers and delightful herbs. A VOICE CAME OUT OF THE FLAME that I was dancing in and said, "In Me is faith, hope, peace, and love. I Am the Flame of Hope. I burn away anxiety, oppression, fear, confusion, condemnation, doubt, worry, discouragement, distraction, and critical words." All the words were aflame. The words of death were completely destroyed. However, those that were of the Lord were not consumed. Like the burning bush was with Moses - direction, purpose, and destiny came forth from the flame. "Dance in the fire of My love and let Me burn up everything that is not of Me and let Me leave everything else ablaze with the Fire of Hope." INSIGHTS: One thing I felt cautioned about was if I did not resist and oppose the words of death, they would end up coming out of my own mouth. As the Lord spoke the world into existence, I felt warned that speaking words of death would bring destruction in my life and the lives of those around me. I also sensed the words of life I spoke would bring great blessings to me and to all touched by my words. This was not as much about me as it was the Church, the Body of Christ, whom I represented in this vision. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Other Scripture References to consider where speaking is concerned: Exodus 3; Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Acts 2:3, 4; First Corinthians 3:11-15; Hebrews 10:24-27; 12:25-29, Matthew 12:33-37, 15:18; First Peter 4:11; James 3:10; Genesis 1 ~ |
