Glory Ball of Fire

Another prophetic word about fire. This one is from the Elijah List (www.elijahlist.com). Do you think God is telling me something...?

Victoria Boyson: "THE GLORY BALL OF FIRE--AN IMPARTATION OF THE ESSENCE OF HIS PRESENCE"

"I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!"
Luke 12:49

The Intensity of His Presence

I was meditating on the Lord when suddenly, He opened up the spirit realm to me, and I saw Him in His glory. He was surround with white fire, and it looked like a ball of glory surrounding Him. The glory was a strong force of power that pulsated as it emanated from Him. He was magnificent, yet He made Himself approachable to me.

"How can the created being even be compared in glory or strength to its Creator?"

I saw in His being such strength of power and authority, and if not for His presence helping me, I would have been terrified of Him. He was more incredible than anything I can describe to you. He was not revealing Himself as a Lamb, but as a Lion. Still, to describe Him as a lion, does not really describe the intensity of His presence.

I knew that nothing on this earth would compare to His glory. And as I beheld Him, all the things that seemed to matter to me on this earth, suddenly did not matter at all. All the hurt, pain, and struggle seemed irrelevant as I stood before Him.

The situations that brought me such worry or heartache seemed disarmed by His awesome power. They were no match for God! Indeed, there was no one on this earth who could stand against Him nor anyone He chose to defend. How can the created being even be compared in glory or strength to its Creator? It simply cannot.

God, in His mercy, makes Himself more approachable to us by often showing Himself to us as a Lamb or a Father. But in His true essence, He is every bit GOD Almighty, and nothing can or ever will compare to Him.

What I felt the most in Him was the absolute authority He had. He was holy and righteous, and His word was final. When He made a judgment, it was true and just. And when He chose to defend someone, His defense was fearsome.

A Great Crowd of People

"You cannot bring your stuff in here."

As I observed Him in His glory, I saw that much of what surrounded Him was not just power, but people. He was surrounded by a great crowd of people that were a part of His glory--they were a part of Him. This crowd had all been consumed by His glory, and they were as much a part of Him and His Glory as He was because they were made one with Him.

The Lord spoke to me as I stood before Him and said, "Would you like to be a part of My glory? Would you like to come into My glory and be with Me?" Of course, I naturally said, "Yes!" He then said, "You cannot bring your stuff in here."

"What stuff?" I replied. And then I saw that I carried a large suitcase behind me. I had been dragging it around with me without even realizing it.

"You've got to let go of your stuff. You cannot bring it in here with you. You must let it go," He said.

The Fire Ball of His Presence

"He imparted the essence of Himself to us."

Without even having to contemplate my decision, I let go of the suitcase filled with the encumbrances of the flesh, and I stepped into the "Ball of Fire." Instantly, I saw myself changed in His presence, so much, that it appeared I was not even the same person I used to be.

I saw the dirty rags that I was clothed in, become gleaming garments of glorious white which emanated a great light. As I stood before Him, I felt overwhelmed, and I fell down at His feet. He was so Holy, and I felt so insignificant before Him. I could not even look at Him--I was undone.

I felt Him reach out to me and lift my face to meet His gaze. He said, "You are My friend." Those words were all I needed to restore me. They lifted the condemnation of my flesh from me, and I could stand before Him again.

I stood before Him for some time, and as I did, He imparted His power and authority into me. There were many others; a whole company of believers who stood as one before Him, while absorbing the same power that was radiating from Him. It wasn't just power from Him, but it was His nature and every bit who He was; indeed, it was Him. He imparted the essence of Himself to us.

The Nameless, Faceless Army

As we were consumed by Him, we became one with ONE HEART and ONE MIND. In the same instance, we arose before Him and turned without Him speaking a word to us. We just went--out into the world--all over the world. We went as a nameless, faceless army; completely surrendered to Him. Nothing of who we were remained. We were nothing and yet, we were everything that He was.

The idea of the thinking "for" ourselves or of thinking "of" ourselves did not enter our minds, for we were completely given over to the Kingdom of God--to HIS glory and HIS purpose.

As He directed us by His spirit, we were sent. I saw thousands from this army go out and lay their hands on others who were hungry for His glory. And as it was given to others, they were filled with Him and possessed by His glory. His glory spread quickly and rapidly filling the earth.

A Hardening of Hearts

For some, it was a melting and surrendering of their will to His, but for others, it was a hardening of their hearts against the Lord. Those who hardened their hearts would not accept His Lordship, and they would not lay down the encumbrances of their flesh in order to truly enter His glory. Their selfishness and pride was robbing them from the abundant life in Him; they wanted God, but on their own terms.

Those with hardened hearts had built kingdoms of their own glory, and they refused to give them up. They rejected the mercy that made all men equal. They scrambled to save their lives by condemning others, and living for themselves, they lost their lives.

Mark 8:35 says, "He who gives his life away will find it." Luke 20:17-18 says, "Jesus looked at them and said, 'What then is this that is written: The Stone which the builders rejected, this became the Chief Corner Stone? Everyone who falls on that Stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever It falls, It will scatter him like dust.'"

Letting Go

"The Lord is indeed ready to bring a 'great fire' to this earth."

Dear saints, we have got to let go of the "stuff" that keeps us from experiencing the glory of God. All fear, unforgiveness, pain, ambition, expectations, plans, dreams, revenge, false mindsets, pride, anger, jealousy, perversion, selfishness, and all lusts of the flesh must be left behind. We have to let it go. It is not worth holding on to, for it is robbing us from the fulfillment of our abundant life that He came to give us.

God has so much of Himself that He longs to give us. True peace, inexpressible joy, and lasting love are all ours. What are we giving up? Nothing. Nothing but the seeds sown into our lives by the enemy.

Behold, the Lord is indeed ready to bring a "great fire" to this earth, and for some, it will bring great wrath and despair. Yet, for others, it will bring untold joy.

It is only those who bow low before Him who will experience the richness of His glory...His true LIFE!
