Under Fire

Shell shocked…

In a daze, your mind wanders, your feet unsteady before you, your vision blurred.

Your soul cries out “What just happened?”

The shells dropped all around, in the thick of it, under fire, yes under fire, under fire, under my fire, empowered by my fire, propelled by fire, fired up, yes fired up, lifted up by fire, for you are under fire.

For my fire is upon you, under the cover of my fire. You don’t need to say “cover me”, for you are covered by my fire.

For I am accelerating my advance, propelled by fire, bursting forth all around, 7 times hotter than before. For you shall have 7 times more than before.

Job 42:10-13 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they sympathized with him and comforted him over all the distressing calamities that the Lord had brought upon him. Every man also gave him a piece of money, and every man an earring of gold. And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He had also seven sons and three daughters.

Stepping on egg shells, broken shells, my shells, for this ground shall give birth, has given birth, for I have broken through.

For these shells, dropped upon you from above, designed for one purpose, to kill, to destroy, to explode, shall be, shall become my instruments of birth.

When the dust settles, when the smoke clears.

Yes when the dust settles, when the smoke clears, you will be shocked.

You feel it now, you sense it now, bomb after bomb, shock after shock the ground quakes, the ground shakes all around, wave after wave they come for you.

Yet I have come for you….

Yet I have come for you….

Yet I came for you.

I am already here.

Amidst the smoke, amidst all the sound and fury, you anticipate death and disaster – yet it is not as it seems.

Yes IT IS NOT AS IT SEEMS!

My words echo in your ears, resonate in your heart, echo throughout the land.

For what the Devil intended to destroy, I shall make my birthing ground, for each bomb, each shell designed to destroy, shall be the place of new birth.

When the dust settles, for I shall cause it to settle, for I have settled it, for you are my place of habitation.

“You don’t come and go, you are here to stay”

Open your eyes, yes open your eyes, for it is not as it seems, it is not what you expect.

You curl yourself into a ball, you want to have a “ball”, you expect destruction all around, for you saw the fall, you saw the bombs fall.

Yes open your eyes, for this shall be an eye opening event!

For the desolate place, the dry place, the place of the dry bones, is my birthing place.

For it is natural for birth to come from that which lives, this is my design.

Yet it is supernatural for birth to come from that which is dead, this is my joy!

You know this is how I roll, for from the dead womb of Sarah I have birthed a nation.

Romans 4:17-21 As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. He was appointed our father in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that He has foretold and promised as if they already existed. For Abraham, human reason for hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So numberless shall your descendants be. He did not weaken in faith when he considered the utter impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s deadened womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

For my seed brings life to that which was dead, it needs no ideal climate, no fertile soil to bring forth life.

For your seed shall bear fruit, shall bear much fruit, shall give birth to much fruit.

In the place of death and destruction, I shall bring forth life and abundance.

For does not the promised land flow with milk and honey, with produce and preserve?

You look for the land of the promise, you hope for the land of the promise, you long for the land of the promise, yet where you stand is the place of the promise, where you stand, where you take a stand is the place of the promise.

For my honey flows in the place of death, gives life in the place of death, restores health in the place of destruction and decay.

Judges 14:5-9 Then Samson and his father and mother went down to Timnah and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared against him. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid, and he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done. And he went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well. And after a while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the body of the lion, and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion. And he scraped some of the honey out into his hands and went along eating. And he came to his father and mother and gave them some, and they ate it; but he did not tell them he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

For you shall partake of my sweetness, you shall thrive upon the taste of my sweetness. For I am pouring out my sweetness.

For my peace flows in the place of war, my power causes the dust to settle, for the time of settlement is here.
