Overcoming Through the Fiery Trials6

I had a vision of a nice sunny day; the weather was perfect. (This represents when everything is going well in our lives.) I saw a man driving a racing car around a racetrack. (This man represents every believer who is running their own race. Heb. 12:1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.)

He competed his laps with the help of his racing team. (The driving team represents fellowship with our brethren, who are in Christ, helping us complete our daily driving course.) He was driving very well and fast. He didn’t crash and he made no error. He was very happy and pleased with his accomplishments.

After he completed his daily racing, he thought about the day and then he spoke with his racing team and friends about how it all went and what needs to be maintained on the car. (Representing how we fellowship with other brethren in the Body of Christ. We all have different roles, but we all help each other out.)

1Co 14:26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be unto edifying. Maintaining the car is representing feeding our spiritual man with the Word and prayer and fellowship in Jesus every day; abiding in Christ.)

Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.

Joh 6:63 It is the Spirit that maketh alive; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

The next day the weather was rainy. (representing trials and tribulation) It made it very difficult for the man racing on the track and he almost crashed. He had many struggles, and he was very frustrated as nothing was going smooth like the day before, there were many trials for him. Mat 6:34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.

He was so upset after driving that he didn’t think about everything or properly discuss with his racing team what had happened. (He chose to wallow in the flesh, rather than rest in Christ and seek prayer and help from brethren.) All he wanted to do was go home and rest (in the flesh), so he didn’t maintain the car at all. (When we give in to discouragement and frustration, we are feeding our flesh and sabotaging our individual race. Rom. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.)

The next day the weather was much better, however the car was not performing well. He regretted having not maintained the car the day before and didn’t achieve good results. (He hadn’t filled up in prayer and the Word, so it was more difficult) The man was upset and filled with guilt, shame and self-condemnation for not discussing with his racing team and for not maintaining the car the previous day.

Job 9:20 Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.

After this race he spoke about it with his racing team at length and they did proper maintenance with the car. (Representing repentance and getting back on track.)

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Mat 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

The following day he went to the track to race and there were many other drivers also racing on the track. There was a big crowd of people watching him and many other distractions. (This represents trials in various forms to test and refine our walk in Christ. We must maintain vigilance and focus on Him.)

1Co 7:35 And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for what is seemly, and assiduous toward the Lord without distraction.

Mar 4:19 and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

1Co 10:13 Only human temptation hath overtaken you: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way out, that ye be able to endure it.

Each day has its own trials, and it is all to perfect us into Christ.

Php. 3:12 Not that I have already received, or am already made perfect: but I follow on, if so be that I may apprehend that for which also I was apprehended by Christ Jesus.

1 Co. 9:24-27 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so, fight I, as not beating the air: 27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

Tried by Fire Samuel Fire - 12/9/22 (David’s notes in red)

I sought the Lord because I was curious if hell fire [or torment] is Holy fire [or the Lord’s refining process] and I heard the Lord say, “Yes. Anything that cannot, or totally refuses to be, connected with Me, is to be tormented. The torment and hell are the weeping and gnashing of the teeth where the fire does not cease from burning. The end for everything is either completely destroyed and removed into this judgement, or remains cleansed and refined with Me. I am an all-consuming Fire.

1Co. 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

2Pe 3:7 but the present heavens, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against a day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly men.

Heb 12:29 For our God is indeed a consuming fire.

Lev 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.

That which is remaining, will experience judgement of hell, the process of refinement of My Holiness. As nothing can live without Me, there is nothing for the evil to live with, but only the Holy Spirit which burns until eternity. (He guides and convicts us, and the fire consumes all that is evil.)

Act 17:24-25 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is he served by men’s hands, as if he needed anything, he himself giving to all life, and breath, and all things;

Mat 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but who cometh after me is mightier than I: whose shoes I am not fit to bear: HE shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor and gather his grain into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

Joh 16:8 And HE, coming, will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

2Th 2:8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the spirit of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his presence:

Job 4:9 By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed. (Job was a righteous man but not yet manifesting perfection so, he went through the fiery trials until he was gold.)

I then remembered Meshach, Shadrach and Abed-Nego were not harmed, as their faith was in the Lord God. Only their bonds were burned up, as well as the enemy who threw them in and Nebuchadnezzar’s command to serve idols were all eliminated.

Dan 3:22-28 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.

27 And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. (Get rid of your flesh now so it won’t have to burn later.) 28 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

Our Father is the silversmith.

Pro 17:3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts.

Isa 1:25 and I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.

Pro 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, And there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:

Mal 3:2-3 But who can abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: 3 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness.

We are to be wise and be purified.

Dan 12:10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.

Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

Zep 2:2-3 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah's anger come upon you. 3 Seek ye Jehovah, all ye meek of the earth, that have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye will be hid in the day of Jehovah's anger.

An attachment to evil, is clinging to the very thing the Lord wants to burn-off and remove. It hurts those who won’t let go of evil and the refining process of fire continues until only what remains is Holy and Pure. With the completion in the sanctification of washing with the Water of the Word, all are then solidified, hardened and unchangeable by their faith in Him.

Rom 12:9 Let the love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cleave to what is good.

Eph 5:10-11 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord; 11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

Num 31:22-24 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 23 everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water. 24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

1Pe 1:7 that the proving of your faith, more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou be rich; and white garments, that thou be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness be not manifested,: and eye salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou see.

1Th 5:21-22 but prove all things; hold fast what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

Psa 97:10 O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Seeking and allowing the Lord to do His good will through us for His pleasure [is the goal].

Php 2:12-13 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

The demons tremble at His presence, knowing their just and righteous judgement is pending.

Jas 2:19 THOU believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

Nothing can withstand the Fires of God.

Nah 1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.

God is Almighty and All Powerful, (omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience) nothing can compare. He is Sovereign overall. His Name is above every name. His Word is above all.

Psa 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

Isa 55:11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Jer 32:17 Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for thee,

Pro 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.

Php 2:9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him and endowed him with the name above every name.

Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Something that is burned as hot as possible, emits light. We are to be the light of the Lord.

Mat 5:16 Thus let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

Pro 4:18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Php 2:15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as luminaries in the world,

Exposure to the Fire and Light, the Perfect Power of God, [causes the darkness to flee away, if we cooperate with His Spirit.]

Joh 3:19-21 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For everyone that practiced evil things hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, that his works be not reproved. 21 But who doeth the truth cometh unto the light, that his works be manifested that they have been wrought in God.

[His fire] either comforts with warmth or burns to ashes; fire is of the Lord to bring us to righteous power or judgement.

Luk 12:49 A fire came I to cast upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?

The burning bush in Exodus, did not get consumed, nor did it harm Moses.

Exo 3:2 And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

I felt that the Lord has revealed this to me how I can understand it. These are the very things God does not want in His Kingdom. (Pride, arrogance, religious spirits and so on). These were and are in myself! But we are to see ourselves sanctified and perfected in Christ already seated in Heavenly places!

Gal 5:16-17 But I say, Walk in Spirit, and ye shall in no wise fulfill the lusts of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another; that ye may not do what things ye would.

We all are going through this process whether we are about to enter, or are already entered, or have had most of it cleansed. It is in this time [of the fiery trial] that we can see and understand. We have to have the faith to see the end in view and also to look back at what the Lord has already done! (Amen!)

I Am With You Always

Tiannah Fire - 11/18/22 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamt that I was hanging out with Jesus in the physical. He was so wonderful, sweet, and gentle; better than any words I could describe. He looked like a normal man; however, He was bright and wearing a glowing white garment. Extreme Joy, Peace, Love and so many other brilliant feelings that I can’t describe, were radiating from Him.

I felt complete, absolute freedom and the ability to praise Him in full. I felt more Joy than I have ever felt before. It was Pure and Holy, and I felt so much Love for Him and every other soul. I wanted to share Him with everyone. I felt no evil feelings or thoughts that the enemy tries to trick us with in the flesh. It was all gone and there was complete freedom as if the Holy Spirit was manifesting through my flesh. I wanted everyone else to be with Him also and everyone to have His Love, Joy, and Peace. I was so excited for others to hang out with Him too. So, we went around together knocking on doors in the neighborhood. I was proclaiming His magnificence to the people and inviting them to hang out with us. I would talk about how wonderful He is even though He was standing right there next to me. I wanted each of the people we spoke to, to be with Him. No one else could see Him but I was speaking as if they could see Him. I wanted to share Him with everyone. I wanted everyone to have His Joy, Peace, Love and Grace and I told them that He is the best and nothing can compare to Him. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To my disappointment for them, most of the people shut their door in our face, others would hear and listen to what I said about Jesus and His Word but didn't want to hang out with Him. There wasn't anyone in that neighborhood that wanted to hang out with Jesus and to partake in His Joy and Peace and Love. I could not understand why they didn't want to, and I grieved for them. Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house. Jesus led me over to a park with a playground that was in the center of the neighborhood we were in. He started swinging me on the grass, around in circles and we danced together in union. He was very playful and loving and I trusted Him and knew that He wouldn't let me go or let me fall. I was so happy and excited, like a young child, and I wanted others to share this Joy. I couldn't understand why others didn't want to dance with Jesus and be with Him. Jesus had come to spend a short time with me and then had to go back to our Father. I felt that He had things He wanted me to do here and that I was to go to other towns speaking about Him to those who would hear. (I believe this describes our initial salvation experience. Once we are stronger in our faith He tends to withdraw as we learn to walk by faith more and more in our assurance of our salvation. We are, after all, saved by faith and not by how we feel or human experience.) So, I was back alone on earth, but I was so filled with Joy and praise for our Father and King. I arrived at this city, and I was on a hill looking from above and could see everything. It was in the middle of the day; however everything was dark and there was no sun. Everything was black and it felt as if a blanket was covering this world. (This describes the curse of sin and death that covers the earth and those who are earthly.) I felt so much Joy and started singing, "I've longed to see again, The moving of His Spirit. To know The Glory that our Father talked about. These surely are the days of restoration, but our Lord has only just begun. He's just begun to move again in our generation. Although He's done so much, He still will do much more. So let your eyes take hold of a new vision. For our Lord has only just begun. The lame to walk, the deaf to hear, the blind to see. The voice of God is found through all the earth. These are the days of Glorious resurrection, but our Lord has only just begun. The Glory of The Lord shall surely fill the earth. He said just like the waters cover all the sea. REVIVAL COMES; WE LIVE IN EXPECTATION, but our Lord has only just begun. From east and west and north and south the people gather and only unto Him the gathering shall be. These are the days of mighty preparation. But our Lord has only just begun”. As I was singing and dancing to the Lord, I was being lifted higher and higher into the air, kind of like flying or floating above. I was maybe 1 mile up. (This represents being seated in heavenly places in Christ.) I could see so many people below me. I just kept singing and praising the Lord and I was moving forward, walking in the air across the city, proclaiming Him to everyone! I remember thinking, "This song is so awesome I need to share it with the brethren". When I was back on the ground, I was in the center part of the city and there started to be severe wind and everything started shaking and moving. Like a sudden hurricane and earthquake and more. I grabbed onto something and watched everything around me blowing away. Items were blowing everywhere, and walls were breaking and being thrown around and things were flying all around the air. Everything around me moved but I did not move. I felt peace and calm. (Jesus is the Rock that we are anchored on in the storms of life and in the judgements of God. Col. 2:6-7 As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.) Suddenly, I looked up at the dark sky and I saw a little circular hole in the sky and a light peaked through. It wasn't like the sun, but it was like a man made light. It felt like a fake light pretending to be the sun (Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. This represents false light and false truth). (Here, again, we see the great deception that God will allow to deceive those who don’t love the truth.) I saw something fly from the light through the sky and then down to me. (The alien invasion lies.) (This represents demonic principalities and powers in the heavenlies.) It came around me and these creatures got out of the UFO, and they were very dark. I couldn't see them clearly because they were hiding in the shadows. They were acting like they were "aliens" and they wanted to experiment on me. They were trying to convince me they were aliens, and from another planet and they are taking over the world. (This has been the DS plan for a long time. This will cause many lukewarm Christians to fall away because they are not rooted and grounded in the Word which is Christ.)

I felt a hard prod or poke from them in my left rib area. I started having thoughts of fear and doubts about Jesus, but I rejected those thoughts and I said, "Aliens are just demons and we have all authority over them and Jesus IS the Truth", I then spoke, "The Blood of Jesus!” When I awoke, I still felt the feeling of having been prodded in my left rib area, but it quickly faded.

Jesus Will be With Us Through the Water

Vanessa Weeks - 2/28/23 (David’s notes in red)

While I was lying down and praying, I had a vision. I saw Jesus standing at the waters edge of a sea or ocean. I was standing to His right and a little behind Him. We were standing in the clear water and there were small ripples coming over our feet.

Then Jesus took my hand with His right hand, and we started to walk further into the water.

Later that night, the Lord was speaking to me, John 5:19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

When I told my husband this vision, he said it reminded him of Isa. 43:2. (In context 1-4), Isa 43:1 But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. 4 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, and honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore, will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.

While hearing "Man-Child Ministry Imparted to the Bride", I heard David read, Psa 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him, And shall make his footsteps a way to walk in.

Thank you, Father, that Jesus will hold our hand and be with us during all we go through, as You bring your judgments on the earth. Also, cause us to clearly see your footsteps, so we will walk in them, in Jesus’ name, amen.
