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."

Behold, I Make All Things New

Our reading was directed to Isaiah 35.

We are on our way...we are moving past what was and into what is...

The place of barrenness, the place of wasteland, the place of dryness rejoices! Why??? In these places restoration has come! Restoration has come and what was, is changed.

Barrenness into Abundance, Wasteland into Fruitfulness, Desert into Streams of Living water.

There are no places such as these that God is not able to restore. Wake up...Be strong! God will come and rescue you! Receive this revelation that all has been made new!

Where is this place of hopelessness?? Where is this place of despair?? Where is this place of sickness??

He brings hope, He brings joy, He brings healing. He is our Rescuer, He is our Salvation!

There is no place such as this that won't or can't be changed in an instant!

All needs are met. A place is prepared--a highway for all who come, a place of safety, a place of restoration. All that was, has been changed and made new. All that needs restoration, is restored.

Behold, I make all things new...Revelation 21:5

The declaration that went forth this evening was HOPE and FAITH.

What is this revelation? It's a finished work, not of what will be but of what is!

One Holy Place of Worship

“These are the statutes and the judgments which you shall carefully observe in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess as long as you live on the earth. You shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess serve their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. You shall tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and burn their Asherim with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place. You shall not act like this toward the Lord your God. But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the Lord your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come. There you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the contribution of your hand, your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock. There also you and your households shall eat before the Lord your God, and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the Lord your God has blessed you.” Deut. 12:1-7

God wants worship all for Himself. He's not willing to share it with any other little gods.

In these strategic times of worship unto Him, there is going to be such an outpouring of His Spirit upon the people. There will be new songs being birthed and His Word will go forth like never before. Those who come to see what's going on will not only see but they will taste the goodness of our Lord.

Last night our Furnace session was very special for Him. He was so pleased with the worship. In the supernatural God gave us the vision of a Golden Key unlocking the Gate. I was so overwhelmed feeling such heat, and each time I opened my mouth to pray the more I felt the heat. God was breathing a fresh Word upon the region saying, “Do away with idol worship, come into a new place in Me where only I get ALL THE GLORY.” Surely it isn't church as usual, or even let’s get together to sing songs that give us a quick fix as the weekend begins to set in.

I believe God wants to release a fresh sound in this region. This fresh sound is combined with His Word and true worship resulting in growth, healing, deliverance, and unity. ONE VOICE....HIS!!!!! It will hit the news! The angelic visitation and sounds coming forth from the singers and the musician last night played a significant part in what God is doing in this region. We are to expect the unexpected, because there will be times when He will move quickly and what may seem out of line will be on target with God.

We have become so complacent in our walk with God, but He has already brought the change and we are literally thrown into it. Many may look upon what we are doing and not totally agree, but it’s okay because when the enemy (satan) says no, God has already said YES.

The dots of our hearts were connected to His last night. God has prepared and is preparing us for this time. Some will receive full benefits and some only partial, but this spiritual warfare is not in vain. It's not by force that we entered the enemy’s camp, we entered because it was our desire to stand up and be counted. The more of Jesus we become like, the less of the world we will adapt to.

Only ONE PLACE OF WORSHIP...and it’s found in Him.

Holy Flames

  • Purification by fire
  • Healing by fire
  • Love by fire
  • Wedding by fire
  • Intimacy with the Lord by fire.

All these and more in operation last night…the holy flames of God performing heart surgery in His people…what a blast!!

Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Jeremiah 33:11 The sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord saying:

Give thanks to the Lord almighty,
For the Lord is good,
His love endures forever,

I recall asking the Lord last night, “What is on Your heart? Where are You leading us tonight...we are waiting to hear from You.” One thing I found out about our Lord…He loves it when we call out to Him, and He is always there when we seek Him.

My spirit was high in Him. When the song, All Honor was played, I just felt my whole body get so warm, and God began to speak to me about His fire, and what He was doing in that hour amongst His people. I saw a vision of flames all throughout the room. Then I saw a huge fan, and it began fanning a little flicker of fire in what appeared to be a human heart. Immediately I thought of a song I heard long ago. One verse of that song is: Light the fire in my soul, fan the flames make me whole, Lord you know where I've been, so light the fire in my heart again.

The Lord said, “For I am rekindling the small flicker in the hearts of My people, I am fanning the flames of your hearts higher and higher in Me as you continue to praise Me and honor Me. I am drawing you closer to Me. Enter in the door, receive My love, and My healing fire is upon you. Honor Me tonight…honor Me with your life. I’m drawing you closer, I'm drawing this region closer, your household closer to Me.”

As we continued in the song All Honor, I saw the train of His robe and fire surrounding it.

I also got a glimpse of the Bride and Bridegroom dancing (no faces), just a quick glimpse.

It was a night of FireSong ministry entering in the door, breaking forth out of the old and into the new wine skins…birthing…restoration from past religious spirits...the gates of hell could not prevail. God’s people are hungry and desperate for a great move of the Spirit in our region and amongst the nations. We’re divorcing every demonic influence of Baal.

Holy flames fell upon us last night, and it’s an everlasting impression of God’s love for us.

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.]

Our Loving And Humorous God

Tonight I experienced a different side of God. I sensed His Joy, Peace, Love and even His humor…even the children were in the presence of God just having fun in Him. At times I thought they were a distraction, but God said no. Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (Matthew 19:14) Then I saw a green field, like the pastures in Psalm 23:2, and all of us that were there were having such a great time in the Lord. I could hear Him laughing...some of us were dancing; some were twirling, and some running with deep expression of joy upon our faces. The sky was clear...blue and white...the sun was shining....we were just having fun.

I kept hearing Him say, “I’m coming for you, wait and see.” As the music played and we were waving our banners, I heard the Lord saying whee....whee....whee ...like a child at play. I smiled and felt Him embrace me, and He said, “It’s good to relax and have fun in My presence, like a child playing ever so freely. I want you to play…it doesn't have to be church as usual, or church 24 hours / seven days a week, that's a spirit of religion. I'm not there; I'm where freedom in the Spirit is being released. I'm in places where only the free can enter, where hearts are turned towards me and not carried away by every wind of doctrine, where those who call themselves preachers of righteousness practice all sorts of idolatry. I called you to be free...so play, have fun. For you are all My children no matter what age. You can have pure, clean fun and learn how to relax in Me. Place all your concerns at the altar, and enjoy life in me, for I anoint you with My joy, peace and love." LOVE.

The Lord began to show me a clip from The Passion of Christ...one scene in particular…Jesus was a carpenter and He was building a table, and Mary asked Him about the table and chairs, and Jesus pretended to be sitting, looking at his mother smiling. My heart was filled with so much love it brought tears to my eyes. Then He took me to another scene [from the movie] when He was a little boy and He fell and His mother Mary ran to His aid and picked Him up to console Him. Then I saw Mary remembering that time, as she looked at Jesus as He fell to the floor with so much pain and agony, but His eyes were filled with LOVE and forgiveness…and a knowing that these things must take place. Then I saw Him on the cross…and my tears came rolling down my cheeks. And He said, “I died and rose again so you can LIVE.”

There's no greater joy, peace or love than when Jesus stretched out His arms for us.
