1. FIRE LIKE WEVE NOT SEEN BEFORE
Jesus Baptizes With The Holy Spirit & Fire
By Ron McGatlin
"You have never yet seen the fullness of outpouring of My fire. You have seen outpourings of My Spirit and My love"
I tremble and tears fill my eyes as I hear these words. Anticipation and deep emotional excitement swell within my heart. Suddenly desire goes far beyond hunger. My spirit, soul, and body scream with intense yearning. I am again touched by the Fire of God. I am overcome in the glory of His holiness.
Eye hath not yet seen what God has prepared for those who love Him.
But by His Spirit, He is today speaking of a pouring out of HOLY FIRE as never before seen on earth. At Pentecost a tiny group of people were baptized in SPIRIT and FIRE and the world was impacted forever. The Pentecost experience was a beginning, a seed, not the fullness of the HOLY FIRE of God to be poured out upon millions.
Christ returned in the Spirit to be spread across the world in the lives of those who walk in the Spirit. Christ Jesus is alive today in the lives of those who are in Him and in whom He dwells by the HOLY Spirit of God. Christ Jesus is the source of the Spirit and Fire baptism coming upon the world. We have grasped the experience of the Spirit and we will come to identify with and be fully baptized in the FIRE OF HOLINESS.
As you read what is being said here, don't allow your religious mind to take you back to hearing any weak segmented and departmentalized teachings that you may have had in the past regarding baptism and Holy Spirit. Only those who are losing their religious minds will hear the reality of what God is doing in our day. God is doing a far greater thing than the wonderful revivals and the renewals of recent decades. He is about an even greater work than the fire of revival of the past centuries.
The works prophesied by John the Baptist are now before us and not far ahead.
Luke 3:16-17: John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."
This is not just about your personal experience or your personal need. John was speaking to a group standing before Him and prophetically to the world to come.
John's message was a baptism of repentance.
Luke 3:3-9: And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.
Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"
Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
THE OUTPOURING OF HOLY FIRE
The major revivals of the past have all at some point came to an end because the fire that brought the work was lifted. Much speculation has been offered as to why the fire lifted and probably there are several facets of truth involved. However, it is becoming apparent that these revival, renewals, and outpourings were steps in a process toward the fullness of the kingdom revival filling the earth with the glory of God.
Man eventually became the focus of past revivals. This led to the humanization of the work of God. Indeed there is need for man to be transformed, but the need of man is a secondary thing and has never been the primary focus of God in the outpouring of the HOLY Spirit and fire in revival. The salvation of man is a means to the glory of God and the rule of God on earth as it is in heaven. God is not a means for the goal of the happiness of man.
Some of the older past revivals carried a major message theme of be saved so you can go to heaven and not SUFFER in hell. The person's motivation for repenting was sometimes purely man-centered from a desire to not suffer and to be happy. There was nothing about God in this motivation, and it was all about man's desire to not suffer.
This humanistic gospel has evolved through time into things like give to receive, or give your life so others won't suffer, come to God so you can be happy and prosperous, and God wants to make you rich. All of these things may happen when people truly come to God, but they are not the primary purpose of God and the reason for the cross and redemption of man.
And it gets worse. Eventually this mis-focused humanistic gospel can mutate into the purely human focused false gospel of universal reconciliation and other forms of new age, feel-good perversions. Eventually a spirit of pleasure rules and every sordid evil immoral pleasure can become acceptable in the "church." Shallow repentance without change, form without fire, and "church" without holiness can become the norm.
This kind of widespread belief in the "church" does little or nothing to restrain evil and even spawns ungodly and immoral culture into the world. The worst part of all this is that revival is squelched and prevented from coming in and through the "church." Even though there may be cries coming forth for revival, a wide-spread revival of holiness and the holy fire of God is restrained from coming and remaining under the canopy of this man-centered church tied to worldly culture.
As best I remember the story, a godly man from China was once asked about his trip to America. What impressed you most about the church in America? To which he replied, I am amazed at what they have been able to accomplish without God.
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit and fire of holiness from God must come outside the man-focused church to a God-focused people.
Revival can come to those who seek to serve God just because He is worthy to be served. He is God Almighty, Who created all that exist. He is glorious. He is holy, holy, holy and above all that exist. He is the God Who gave His only begotten Son to redeem all that was lost. He is the God Who is love, Who is all powerful, Who is jealous, Who is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Lay down your life to serve Him because He is worthy whether you receive anything or not, whether you are healed or not or have riches or not. Serve Him because of Who He is and seek to glorify Him in all the earth. We are made for God, He is not made for us. He is worthy of the sacrifice of our lives as living sacrifices unto Him.
The prayer of a few righteous can allow God to send His fire in a spot.
It has been clearly evidenced through past revivals that the prayer of a few HOLY people who are led of the Spirit can cause the fire of God to come down in a spot on earth. Holy people are those who continuously walk in the Spirit. Holiness comes from being saturated (baptized) in the HOLY Spirit and fire. Jesus is the baptizer and lives in those who have given their lives to Him.
The prayers of an army of God's pure hearted people baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire and planted in many spots across a nation can allow God's fire to come down and draw many to Jesus, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and Fire. This can spread into that nation as the fire of God redeems what is redeemable and removes what is unredeemable. God will have a holy people and holy nations.
Holy fire comes to the people of God who yet have impurities as chastening and comes as destruction to the wicked who will not turn to God and seek His kingdom and His righteousness above all else.
The coming kingdom revival will be different from past outpourings, because it will be all about God and His glory and His kingdom and not about me or you.
God alone is worthy.
Rev 4:11 "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."
Rev 5:9-13: And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!"
Without Christ we are not worthy of the love of God. We are not worthy of the costly salvation He has provided. In our sinful fallen state apart from Christ, we are worthy of eternal separation from God Who is holy and worthy of all praise and honor. As we are in Christ and He in us by the Holy Spirit we are worthy to carry the fire of God into the world.
Just because the cross happened and just because the resurrection took place does not mean that we are redeemed and carriers of the fire. There is only two ways to live in life on this earth. One is to walk by the flesh and fulfill the lust of the flesh. The other is to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh but fulfill the divine will and purpose of God in the world. Those without Christ have only one choice and that is to walk in the flesh. Those in Christ have two choices. If we are not walking in the Spirit we are not in the Spirit and will fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
The holy fire that brings revival will only come in a people seeking God with their whole hearts and who walk in the Spirit. Many, if not most, "church" people have disqualified themselves from revival fire. They have simply not become living sacrifices to God and have been conformed to this world. Ignoring all God is and all God has done, they continue in their comfortable way of conformity to the world. As far as the coming revival fire of holiness this kind of life is as chaff that will be burned with unquenchable fire.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."
Rom 12:1-2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
1 Cor 6:9-11: Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Gal 6:7-8: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
"You have never yet seen the fullness of outpouring of My fire."
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
It is at hand.

Although I add that being "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" is a very smart admonition. There is real evil in the world, and we are to recognize it and combat it wherever we find it.
It was a Spiritual eye-opener to me when I first realized that worrying was saying to God "I don't believe you." It brought me to tears in shame.
Seems to me that this understanding comes after we've been walking with the Lord for a good, long time.
Quix, the passage about pestering God with our petitions is for those who have not yet arrived at this point. Those who have can truly "let go and let God."
The same Scriptures are milk for some and meat for others.
We're told to realize how much more certain and efficient is the ruling of our merciful God...
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily." -- Luke 18:6-8"And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
I like the analogy. It reminds me of Neo (from the Matrix) taking the red pill and his own existence and real life come into focus, where as if he took the blue pill, he could have continued living a lie.
TRue, true.
Yes, that's exactly it. Amen.
If we resist the devil, he will flee. (James 4:7) And we are to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3) but not be contentious (2 Timothy 2:24-26).
When people speaking for themselves rebuke Satan, it sends chills up my spiritual spine - as if they are stepping into an area where God doesn't want them to go.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. - Jude 1:5-11
Ahhhhhhhh. Thanks.
I've just noticed that as I've been through more and more fiery furnaces and long dark nights of the soul . . .
LONG LISTS of things just don't matter much any more.
And, that God will do whatever God will do and that if He doesn't nothing makes any difference anyway.
It is really His show.
Not sure when I quit 'worrying God' with oft repeated mention . . . Sometime in the last 6-12 years I'd guess. Not that long ago.
Yea and amen to that!
True. True.
However,
Have you read much Derek Prince?
My no strings attached #1 priority prayer:
Very true. But at the same time, God is equipping us for battle. And our only strength comes from Him. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." -- Ephesians 6:10-20"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
What about Catholics? Can Catholics play?
Matrix I was a GREAT movie.
Subsequently, Matrix II and III were garbled messes. They lost the real narrative and so become confusing fable.
But maybe the story was naturally finished in Matrix I, and to go further into it made no sense.
LOL!
It's not my thread.
Okay....

So be it...to you with ears to hear...it's Kingdom commission TIME!
Certainly RC folks can post provided they are at least basically sympathetic to the Charismatic perspective. The caucus aspect of the thread is for a mutually supportive, friendly encouraging, constructive exchange/exhortation sort of dialogue and not a disruptive, hostile, combative, contentious kind of exchange.
Thanks for asking.
Thanks Oprah.
Just got home. Will try and read and respond before sleep.
Blessings,
Quite a doc.
I think my response is to say--PRAISE GOD--YES AND AMEN and to wait and see what God confirms when.
I believe such things are in the pipeline. I don't know the specific delivery dates for any given individual including myself. But I'm quite convinced such are in the pipeline.
Thanks.
And your response to it?
