As in the natural so it will be seen in the spiritual. As fires have raged out of control of man in the mid-western states in June,"spiritual fires" will be seen raging throughout the House of the Lord during the month of July. Many will think these fires were started by the enemy but "fire-lighting" Angels on assignment have been released to set fires to many "works" in God's own House. As much "wood" has been burned up into ashes in the physical fires so also much "wood, hay and stubble" will be seen catching on fire this coming month throughout the Body of Christ with seemingly no way of stopping it.

------------------------------------------

SPIRITUAL FIRE COMING TO "TEST" OUR WORKS

IN "JULY HOLY FIRE!"

------------------------------------------

I sense this "spiritual wood" represents many works we have esteemed to be good and even Godly but the fire is coming now to test what work is of the Lord or ours.

Our works will be tested by this 'July Holy Fire!'

"Hay" is dried grass, plants etc. used in feeding. I sense this "spiritual hay" represents food (sermons, teaching, preaching and prophetic words) that will be tried by fresh fire that will produce fresh "spiritual food" in the House of the Lord. Fresh Bread is going to come out of a hot fiery oven. I heard the Lord say to an angel, "Put a fire in the kitchen!" As the kitchen (where food was prepared and served in God's House) caught on fire I saw some cooks (ministers) try to put this fire out for it was burning up what they thought was good food to serve but it was not a fresh "word" from the Lord. It was burning up because it was "wood" instead of "word." Some cooks ran out of the kitchen for the fire was just too hot and began to touch the flesh in their personal lives and they did not want certain fleshly things in their lives to die.

------------------------------------------

RUNNING FROM THE HEAT TO SAVE THEIR LIVES

------------------------------------------

They were running from the heat to save their own lives. New cooks (ministers) that had died already through yielding to the Lords dealing through fiery trials in their lives came running out of nowhere as a change of guards began to take place in the kitchen.

"Stubble" is like short pieces of grain or hay that is left on a field after a harvest. While many are waiting for certain harvest fields to ripen we will sadly discover that what we will soon see is just the "stubble" of our "field of dreams" burning for we have been waiting for a more convenient time to go into our harvest field while the enemy worked day and night to spoil the vines and cause some fields to rot because of the over ripened fruit for the lack of labourers. The "stubble" burning was a sign to many of us to "Go into all the world and minister to the harvest fields that were still waiting for us to come to. This fire burning up the stubble was now motivating us to GO!

-------------------------------

THE SPIRIT SAID, "FIRE WORKS!"

-------------------------------

I heard the Spirit say, "Fire Works!" Fire will work for good in My House. For what will not burn will be of Me and the world will see that I have a House for all nations to come into in this last day. And they will eat of Me and drink of Me. And the world will see Me high and lifted up and My Glory filling My House drawing all men to Me!"

-------------------------------------

"ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES!"

--------------------------------------

In closing concerning the physical fires burning out of control. I heard the Lord say to His people. "Only You can prevent forest fires! Only tears of true repentance can open the flood gates of heaven to bring down the rain to quench the fires of the earth." I saw one tear put out a whole forrest fire as it gently streamed down from the eyes of the Body of Christ in heartfelt repentance. Simultaneously the same tear oiled the rusty hinges of the Window of Heaven causing it to open, releasing physical and spiritual rains upon the dry lands of the earth..
