"And He showed me Yehoshua the High Priest standing
before the Angel of the L-rd, and the Satan (the Accusing Angel) was
standing on his right side, to accuse him. And G-d said to the Satan,
'May the L-rd rebuke you. O Satan, and may the L-rd Who chooses
Jerusalem rebuke you; is this not a firebrand plucked from the
fire?" (Zechariah 3:1-2)
2010-6-24 The
Way of the Warrior and FIREBRANDS
Beverly Juelsgaard-Fischer
When the Lord started
speaking to me today, I kept hearing in my spirit these words “It’s
the way of the warrior” and “FIREBRAND”. As those words
continued to go through me I saw in the spirit a friend of mine who
runs in the morning beside the river on a path. As he was running, I
kept hearing the Lord say, “it’s the way of the warrior.” So I
asked, do you mean that he is running or on the path of a warrior in
the spirit? Then as I was watching him run, there came a group of
Native American braves who were running with him, behind and sometimes
beside him and I knew them to be warriors with war paint on their faces
and other parts of their bodies. They all seemed very intent and
serious about what they were doing. Their faces looked stern, almost
like they were a statue, they were so focused on the path before them
and what they knew they had to do. The impression that I had was that
they were on the path (of the Lord) and going with full intent of
obedience to wherever it was that He wanted them to go. They were a
courageous and finely honed group that worked together in what the Lord
was calling them to. I could see that they had prepared well and were
ready for the battle that was ahead and that my friend was part of that
group.
Then I heard the Lord
say, “Many of my remnant have been in a state of getting prepared. You
have felt an urgency upon you that you need to get ready. But, get
ready for what? Some say it is the day of My coming, others that the
end time is upon them and that there is a time of great disaster and
wars coming to them. There is a spirit of fear that is running rampant
and trying to take control of your mind and your spirit, for it would
like nothing better than to have you wandering in confusion and
abandonment. For it knows that if you are not after My heart, that it
can rule and reign or even have a piece of your heart and spirit and
that it will gain a piece of control over your life and what you do and
say.”
So I say to you, “PEACE,
BE STILL. DO NOT LET THE ENEMY TAKE YOU AWAY, TO A PLACE IN THE
SPIRIT, WHERE HE CONTROLS YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS. DO NOT.
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. For it is in the quietness of the
morning, in the stillness of the night, in your quiet place, in your
innermost parts that you will hear Me. Many do not have the
relationship with Me that is needed for the days ahead, and it will
only be as you quiet yourself before Me that you will hear Me speak.
Then and only then you will see Me as you never have before.
For I say to you,
that there is much about to take place. My Angels are mounted and
ready for battle.
I looked then
and saw an opening in the heavens and the Lord, Himself was seated on
His white charger. The angels were mounted also and on either side of
Him all the way around the opening, even as I turned around to see it
full circle, there were way more than I could count. For the heavens
were filled and in the background I could hear them singing praises to
the Lord. Way in the back I could see the Mansion of the Lord and see
the choirs of angels singing, again more than I could count. The look
on the faces of the angels on horseback was a look of steel or
somberness, and their faces were set like flint. They knew that His
time was upon them and whatever He directed them to do, they would do
it willingly and joyfully, for He was all that they lived for, He was
all that they hoped for. He was their all in all. I knew without
anyone speaking and could see that the Lord’s eyes were going to and
fro, watching not only all the heavenly areas, but also everything that
was happening on the earth. I knew that with a subtle movement or a
whisper that it would all start in motion. I could feel the magnetism
and power of His presence, even as I stood and watched from afar, I was
drawn to pull closer, to see, and hear what was before me.
I heard the Lord say,
WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP! THERE IS MUCH STILL TO BE DONE. THERE
IS MUCH STILL THAT IS TO BE READY. For there are those who will
never be ready, but there are those who have been hearing, seeing, and
understanding Me and what I am about at this time. PREPARE,
PREPARE, PREPARE, FOR MY TIME IS QUICKLY UPON YOU. Do not fear
what you do not know. For no man knows the day and time or hour
of My arrival. Yet I say that I am already in your midst. For
do you not know and understand that there are many that I am deeply
embedded within? You have seen them and heard some of them, yet there
are many others whom I am about to release into My Glory, into My Power
and Authority, like they have never known before. There are many who
have been waiting for this very hour, they have been waiting and
listening for Me to say to them, “It is time.” I say to you, do
not go on your own accord, but wait for Me, and you will know when it
is time. You will hear My voice in the small soft wind, and you will
know, for you have been preparing your whole lives for this, and many
knew it not.
For there are even
those in the shadows now, who wait fearfully for Me to call them out.
For they have gone through much. They have been abused and broken.
They have been spit upon and worse. They have seen and known the wrath
and hypocrisy of man and of the church. For though the church calls
itself holy and pure, many are still far from it at this point. Many
do not fear Me, but they fear man. Many do not worship Me, but their
pastor, or others within the church. Many do not love Me as
themselves, and many have lost their first love. Many have turned
their backs to Me and only want My hands. They do not seek Me, as
their Lord or Master. They do not find comfort or strength in Me, for
they look to man for their comfort and strength.
How many lessons do I
need to teach you, so that you would listen and understand? My
patience grows thin and I have placed judgment on many people and many
nations for the sins that man have committed against Me and all that I
love. Does man not understand that they cannot continue on the path
that they are on? Does man not understand that their life must be
filled with worship and a relationship with Me? I AM GOD, and I AM
IN CONTROL. There is no other that can or will do what I
have done. There is no other who will do what I do in the days ahead.
You think that mother nature or some other entity does this or that, do
you not know that I allow it all, so that you will see Me more? So
that you will know and understand that everything, is under My
control. So I say, PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE. What do I mean
by this? For some it is to set food aside, or to purchase or trade for
things that you will need, for others it is to prepare physically, as
if you were a young warrior, getting ready to go into battle for the
first time, so that they are physically getting in shape, like they
have not done in the past.
Then I looked
again, and I saw young Warriors preparing to fight, by competing with
each other through contests of riding horses, shooting arrows, and
throwing hatchets. I saw others in hand to hand combat, and I saw
others sharpening their skills by reading the Word, and spending time
with the Lord worshipping.
As I looked
around me it was if I was in a pocket of time within a Native American
village as I watched them prepare for a mighty war . I could hear the
drums beating around me. As I turned slightly, I was with the knights
of old in Europe as they prepared for battle jousting and fighting with
their swords. Turning again, I saw the Gladiators preparing for the
fight of their lives. Turning once more I was with the Samurai
Warriors sharpening their blades. Once again I moved and I was in the
African nations watching as they were preparing, preparing, preparing,
getting ready to fight the fight of their life. Each one was preparing
as if their life depended on it, and indeed it was their very life that
depended on it, for if they weren’t prepared or in shape in body, mind,
and spirit, each one knew that they would not last through the coming
days and times that are about to be unleashed upon and around them.
For all of you, it
will be a time to prepare in your spirit by spending time with Me. So
I say to you, come away with Me in spirit and in truth. Come away,
that we might be One. Come away, that you might hear Me more clearly,
for I am about to change your very life. It will be oh, so important
for you to spend time with Me, to worship Me, to be able to hear My
voice clearly. You do not even understand how important that will be.
For those who have developed a relationship with Me and are developing
a relationship with Me, I will be honing your skills. For in this time
that is coming upon you, you will need every skill and gift that I give
you. You will need all of them and more.
For even as in the
book of Revelations and in My Word you have seen and know what I can
do. Do you not know that even though what is coming will be incredibly
hard for some, it will also be a time of great glory, that My signs
wonders, and miracles will be unleashed as never before? Do you not
know that even as I open your eyes and your spirits to a new
understanding of My Word that truly My time is being fulfilled as we
speak? For even as the earth has birthing pains and darkness tries to
flood the earth and there are wars and rumors of wars, do you not also
see an increase also in My goodness, in My mercy, in My love for all of
mankind? Yes, I have judged and I am still judging, but there is still
time, for man to repent, that My heart would be changed and that all
that I have planned would not come forth. Repent and know that I am
God and that I will forgive you, but you must seek Me, not someone or
something else. You must seek Me in this, so that My heart will be for
you and not against all that you have done to My people and My
kingdom. For I am a jealous God, and I would not have you turn your
back on Me or forsake Me. I would have you as Mine.
I say to you,
“listen, listen, listen carefully to the voice of My prophets, for I
will speak through them and you will know of more. At times, you will
know more than you want to know. But it is all for a time and a season
that you are coming upon and all will be needed. All will be needed.
Ask for greater understanding, greater wisdom and greater clarity, so
that you will know, that you know, that you know My voice, over that of
the enemy. Continue to ask that you would know the enemy’s plans and
purposes, for it is only when you know them in advance that you are
able to seek Me as to what to do about it. It is only then that you
will be able to overcome that which is coming before it comes and as it
is seeking to stop and destroy you. It is only then, that you will
learn the lessons of the warrior. These are the lessons that will help
you to survive in the days ahead.
Then I heard the word
“FIREBRAND” once again in my spirit. I saw a huge flaming hot
branding iron, (like what ranchers or farmers would use to brand their
cattle or horses to show ownership) coming at me and others. And I
heard the word “FIREBRAND” again in my spirit and I knew it as
one who the enemy would try to use for his purposes to stir things up,
but I knew it for the Lord’s purposes as one who had been branded by
the Lord and was on FIRE for the Lord and would be used by the
Lord as a catalyst or as a FORERUNNER, to run ahead of the pack,
to be at the forefront and to learn the ways of the Lord first, or to
go through things first, as the early PIONEERS did, so that
others could come after them. In the ways of a catalyst they would be
used of the Lord to bring change to a church or area where they are
sent, for they were on FIRE for the Lord.
Then I saw
the Lord with a huge pot over a fire. He was stirring in the fire,
with a long pole. As I watched He pulled the pole out and at the end
of the pole was a “brand” that was hot. He said, “There are those who
I have “marked” in the past, and they did much for My kingdom, they
were “MY FIREBRANDS”. There are even some now, who wear My
brand. I am getting ready to unleash My brand upon many in the earth.
That they will have a mark upon them as “MY FIREBRAND” which
will mark them forever for Me. I say to you, are you willing to become
as one of “MY FIREBRANDS” ? for I will use you greatly,
but I say to you that there is a price, as there is to everything. For
if you accept this, the enemy will be after you even more than he is
now. Do you accept this cost, are you willing to pay the price of a
life that is sold out to Me and Me alone? Are you willing to do what I
tell you to do, and say what I tell you to say, whatever the cost? For
this mark will set you apart even more for Me, just as in the days in
the past, when the Nazarites were set apart for Me. Are you willing to
pay the price? For I need those who will follow Me with a passion that
will not be held back, for these I will mark with My holiness and
righteousness. They will come forth, even more than John the Baptist
came forth in the days past. They will come forth in a “fire” that
only I can give, that will overcome what is before them, for My sake.
Will you come? Will
you come into that new relationship with Me, that will mark you for
life? That will mark you as Mine? Will you draw into Me, and never
let go? Will your heart be so turned to Me, that when the enemy looks
at you, he won’t see you, but instead he will see a reflection of Me?
Will you come, will you grab onto My hand and look into My eyes and
seek Me for who I am? Will you welcome, the way of the warrior into
your heart? Will you allow Me to become your life and your lifestyle?
WILL YOU BECOME A FIREBRAND FOR ME?
Love, Abba
