''Flames of fire'' by Rev. Christopher J. Derring,Th.D

I believe that we are living in the greatest hour in human history. We are living in the days which have been spoken of, and prophesied about, by men and woman of God from every generation that has preceded us until now. This is the hour of the greatest outpouring of God's glory and power that the world has ever seen or known before. WE are standing at the very brink of eternity, just before the return of our great Lord and King Jesus Christ. God is speaking to His people in this great hour, He is calling us unto Him, to a closer fellowship and relationship with our Lord, God is separating His people, from anyone and anything that would impede our hunger and our desire for Him. I believe what the Spirit of the Lord is saying is that we are about to see a great separation take place, a separation from the pretenders, from those who are the true followers of Christ. God is raising up a remnant in this hour, those individuals who refuse to settle any longer for the crumbs of religion, but instead hunger and thirst for God, who pursue Him, no matter the cost. God is calling His people out of the status quo of religion, and into true relationship with Him. II Corinthians 6:14-18 says Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my SONS and DAUGHTERS, saith the lord almighty. This verse, I believe, is the very theme of the days you and I are living in, God is calling us out of any relationship, with things, with people, with places, that are not pleasing to Him, those things that hinder us from a closer relationship with the father. Paul said in Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. No one can tell you the things or the people or even the places in your life that hinder your walk with God, usually when people try and impose their convictions upon you, those things God has told THEM to let go of, or come out of, we get defensive and hold on even tighter to those things, Paul tells us in the book of Romans chapter 14 verse 22 ''Hast thou faith? keep your personal convictions to yourself and God. No one can tell you what to let go of or come out of, only God can move upon your heart and tell you, but if you will here Him and obey, whatever you give up for God, it will not begin to compare with the peace of being in God's will, for your life. God is speaking to His people and those who decide to obey Him will be among the numbers of God's remnant people in this last hour. Hebrews 1:7 says ''And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers FLAMES OF FIRE. God wants to make His people flames of fire, people who are submitted to God's will, God's purpose, God's plan, who in their obedience are so filled with God's glory and power, will become as Christ. ''As he (Jesus) is, so are we IN THIS WORLD''. I John 4:17, Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me (Jesus),the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And WHATSOEVER ye shall ASK in my name, that will I do... John 14:12-13 God is looking for a people who will go forth in God's power and change the world around them. God is looking for a people who will spread the gospel of Christ and get people saved. God is looking for a people who will lay hands on the sick and see them recover, cast out demons, raise the dead back to life, and walk in boldness, and in the fullness of the spirit (see Mark 16:15-20). If you will allow God to so fill you with His Spirit, to the point that God is controlling your every word, your every action, your every move, you will walk in the fullness and power of Jesus Christ. To walk in this power, to be in this remnant, to fulfill your God given destiny, it will cost you something, the price, is all that you have, it will cost you everything, but your everything in exchange for God's everything, is the greatest deal you will ever make in your lifetime. The world is waiting, with great expectation, for the son's and daughters of God to finally rise up, the world is in desperate need of a church full of glory, about to be birthed in this generation, the world is now ready for God's remnant army to rise up and usher in the return of our Lord. ARE YOU WILLING to pay the price to be in that number? God is awaiting your decision ! ''For as many as are LED by the spirit of God, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD....For the earnest expectation of the creature (world) waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of THE SONS OF GOD.... Because the creature (world) itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation (world) travaileth in pain together UNTIL NOW. Romans 8:14,19,21-22
