FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
COMMUNICATE!
wind dropped, the firemen arrived and the advancing flames
began to falter.
Thus far and no further would they come. Some of the poplar
trees, the proud protectors of our large orchard, had already
been destroyed. But the tree nearest the house remained
unburnt, a silent witness to God’s intervention.
These natural events now seemed highly symbolic. A spiritual
fire was raging through the church and some of her
trusted ‘protectors’ were going through the flames.
A prophecy, written just before the new anointing, had
warned that God would ‘search our motives, chase out
deadness and awaken the very soil in which Zion was planted’.
So it proved to be. The Spirit we had first experienced as
sweet wine and healing oil now came as gales of upheaval
and fires of cleansing. At the height of the anointings God
had spoken about this very dramatically to two brothers.
The leaders’ meeting was going wild. Many were shaking,
laughing, crying and falling under the power of God. As Rufus
was quietly praying he saw a field of wheat. At its centre
a swirling storm was brewing up. Rufus opened his eyes to
view the present chaos.
‘Wow! Is this really happening?’
Steve ‘Capable’ was spinning like a top, swirling round and
round, his arms going up and down, his body swaying and
bending. Lower and lower he swept, faster and faster.
We looked aghast.
‘Amazing!’ said some.
‘Demonic!’ muttered others.
