Angels Released In The Midst Of Our Worship

The praises were high and intercession was very intense...the Spirit of the Lord was soaring last night. The angels were released, fanning the holy flames, spraying us with the fragrance of the Lord and His embrace as we worshiped the living King.

The visitations were intense for me while in the realm of intercession. It was like a Jacob experience with the angel of the Lord. I kept hearing in my spirit, “press in, wrestle, cry out until the blessings are released. I was lead to go to the nearest corner to cry out on behalf of others, and in the process I felt a jolt from my hip to my leg on the left side. I experienced pain for a short moment and I thought I was going to fall. Then I felt a warm sensation running through my leg and suddenly it just snapped back into place! I knew then someone was being healed last night, and as I continued to cry out I saw a vision of people being delivered and saved, families coming together, harmony in the homes, visitations from God in the work place, and someone on drugs being delivered.

The worship was more intense as the fire of His Spirit burned away all the impurities. I saw a multitude of people being saved…they were coming from everywhere, crying out to the Lord in one accord. It was a cry of thanksgiving; it was a holy celebration unto the Lord...all glory and honor to Him alone.

Then as I opened my eyes I saw an angel standing in front of me. He was so beautiful…up close and personal. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! He wrapped his wings around me and just held me. I cried, I emptied out my heart in tears because last night God embraced me! He knew I needed a great big hug and He came to me. I went to His throne room of grace and He met me…praise God!

I believe there comes a time in our lives when we wrestle with God. And last night we were all at that point of not letting go until He blessed us.

Our Praises Move His Hands

Jesus said, "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)

Last night at the Furnace the Heavens were open, as a result of the heartfelt praises in which moved His loving hands upon the Region. I truly believe God desires to move in a powerful way! He inhabits the praises of His people. True Worship...nothing rehearsed--just heartfelt praise that trickled down from the worship team onto the people, all flowing in His Spirit and Presence.

I once heard the Song of the Lord come forth from a powerful man of God, and last night I was reminded of the song, "Reaching for a Higher Ground."

Reaching for a higher ground,
Where no flesh glories in His presence
No flesh glories in His presence.
Come and seek the Master's face
Come and seek the Master's face
Where no flesh glories in You.

God is seeking out true worshipers, and I believe we (FireSong & the Furnace) are part of that move. It's very important that we take this seriously. Thursday nights are awesome, but there is always room for making it better...

The Lord gave me this vision: I saw the Heavens open up and the rays from the sun came through the clouds shining ever so bright. The rays were shining on different parts of towns. What was once dark turned into light...the rays of the sun were shining on cities. It was like I was on top of the world looking down and God was showing the cities He was moving mightily in. I saw Newark, Cranford, Plainfield, and then I saw and heard the praises and the people dancing. They were all over the place just declaring the glory of God over the cities. As the praises continued to rise into the heavens, the rays of sun shined upon more cities: Elizabeth, Rahway, Roselle...cities all over.

This vision clearly states He desires our praise and worship. Last week we also had an awesome time. The Spirit of God was high and everyone participated by singing, dancing, waving the banners. God really moved...the people were free to Worship. It was a "Here I am to worship" moment. I was so blessed! Then the Lord spoke to me these words, "Now that I have your attention, I'm going to tell you what I want. You have come expecting to receive and you have, but now this is what I want from you: I want you to live a life of holiness, a life that glorifies only Me. For I am a jealous God, you know. I want all your attention when you enter My presence, for you are the apple of My eyes and My desire is that you live a life that glorifies Me."
