“Over all the brightness of a flaming fire…for over all the glory will be a canopy” (Isaiah 4:5).
The Old Testament brings forth truths concerning the Feast of Pentecost for our time, and challenges everyone who believes the Scriptures.
The fire of the Holy Spirit which is the essential anointing behind every servant of God.
The restoration of the principle of the fire of the Lord is a most important factor in opening the door to the coming judgments and the coming deliverances.
As judgment is committed to the saints of the Most High, it will only be to those in whom the fire has been working.
The book of Daniel says that for a little while the prince—the satanic force, the antichrist spirit—prevails over the saints; but then judgment is given to the saints and they possess the Kingdom (Daniel 7:21–22). Satan’s tactics have been effective because he has been allowed to prevail for a little while. This is God’s way of putting the fire to His people in order to prepare them. But then judgment is given to them and they possess the Kingdom.
It is not that the enemy prevails over the saints for a long time, and then for a long time God gives them judgment and they prevail. I think it takes place in little spasmodic experiences. A believer reaches into God, is opposed by the devil, and then he goes through testings. Then the judgment of Satan is given to the believer, and he possesses the victory in the specific area where he has been tested and assaulted. From that point he can go on to possess the Kingdom in the entire level that is involved. The true spiritual believer will experience this again and again on different levels. The Scriptures are being fulfilled on successive planes and stages, and as God’s people keep pressing in, they soon will see a deep spiritual moving of the Lord.
Do not be discouraged over one area in your life where you do not yet have the victory, one area where you cannot prevail. Keep working at each level, and you will break into the desired victory. Look for breakthroughs into divine health, breakthroughs into the glory of the Lord, breakthroughs into the manifestation of the sons of God, breakthroughs in liberating all creation from futility, breakthroughs in many goals. Ultimately, liberate creation; but in the meantime, learn how to liberate yourself and one another from restrictions as you move from glory to glory, continually taking on more of that wonderful presence of the Lord!
