I hear the Lord saying: You are My
firebrand. I have called you, I have chosen you, I have anointed and appointed
you to do My Kingdom work here on earth.
I am cleansing you, healing you and
freeing you from the last vestiges of your desert experiences. Just as a person
who has spent many years in prison who has experienced some form of trauma from
which they need to be healed and freed from, (both from things that put them in
prison, as well as things they experienced while they were in prison), and as it
is with them, so it is with you.
You have felt a bit confused regarding
why you are now experiencing pain, grief, and trauma rising to the surface from
times long since past, when you have already walked through much healing and
deliverance over the years and you have done everything you know to do to get
free. But there is a reason and a season for everything I do. Sometimes you
are not yet ready for the deep pain and anguish to come to the surface, for it
is more than you can bear at that time. Sometimes you are not yet willing to
let go of certain things, (and sometimes you are not even aware that those
things are there). Sometimes you are gripped with deep shame and embarrassment
over things from the past that were done against you, or for things that you
have done, and you are afraid to bring those things into My light with someone
who can help walk you through the healing process because you are afraid that
they may judge you or think less of you, especially if you are in a position of
ministry leadership. This is all part of the process I must take you through to
free you, cleanse you, heal you and deliver you so that you can do the same for
others. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about – the
people I send to help you will rejoice with you as you get free!
In some ways you feel as if you are
starting from square 1, and you wonder how you can possibly be at this place
after all of the years that you have been walking with Me, and after all of the
ministry you have received over the years, and you fear that your freedom will
never come, but I have brought you here to this specific place, season, and time
in your life. I am putting you on the fast track, and I am going to take you
through the healing process very quickly. Your healing has been many years in
the making, and everything you have done to get free thus far has been
successful and has gotten you to this point in your life. Now I can take the
last of your pain and do a deep cleansing and healing work, and free you from
those things that have stuck to you like barnacles stick to the bottom of a
ship. You really are finally going to be free – it is not some pipe dream, but
it will be your new reality, and once you are free you will be an unstoppable
force against the works of darkness. Know that I am in this and that you can
trust Me with your heart. Give Me your pain, shame, grief, disappointment and
suffering, and let Me take those things from you. Together, the two of us are
going to walk this out. This is your Exodus - I am going to take you out of
“Egypt” and into My Promised Land!
Meaning of the word Firebrand:
1) A person who is passionate about a
particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action.
2) A piece of burning wood.

blessing be on your people.

and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future.”

for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
