Fire From Heaven

I saw a circular set of windows in the heavens. Balls of fire were shooting out of them, falling towards earth. As the fire hit earth, God's people fell to receive the fire. They fell face down. The area suddenly filled with tongues; God's tongues. Everyone was speaking in tongues.

As this happened, God said, "I am declaring a new Tower of Babel that will be shared with not just this region, but with the whole world. This new Tower of Babel will live within my people."

- Lawreida

[Editor's note: This word needs a little explanation. In Genesis 11:4-9 we read:

They said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. The Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech." So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

According to the Lord, these people possessed two extremely important characteristics: They were one people, and had the same language. Because of this, He recognized that nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them! For this reason, He moved to separate and divide them by language and geography.

The vision and word which Lawreida received reveals that the Lord is now moving to bring us, His people, into a new level of unity and understanding that is similar to that of Babel! The difference, of course, is that we will be doing whatever He purposes...not working to fulfill some human agenda or plan.

But the powerful result will be the same: Because of this deep new unity, nothing which we do together to fulfill His purposes will be impossible for us!

For further study, read Psalm 133; Acts 2:43-47, 4:24-35; Ephesians 4:1-16.]
