 Prophetic Fire: The Prophet's School 

Prophetess Dr. N.E. Bazemore #thedetoxprophet #AncientlyProgressive 

Those invited into the spiritual realm of prophecy are set on fire by the Lord from the inside out, top to bottom. God revealed Himself to Moses within a burning bush that did not burn up. In other words, the eternal fire of God is sustained by Himself, the self-existent One,  capable of creating all things necessary to accomplish His purposes. It is important, however, to understand that fire has the potential to bless, as well as destroy; to consume or refine. Fire symbolizes many things, such as resurrection, eternity, rebirth, purification, and passion, as well as, destruction. 

The Bible reveals truth through fire from Genesis to Revelation; and the prophets are well aware of the force of fire as it relates to the  prophetic will of the Lord. So, let's look at this element, fire, from a spiritual perspective. But first, it is important to note that oxygen, heat, and fuel (fire triangle) combined with a chemical reaction equals a fire tetrahedron. We also underline the colors of a fire's flames which are: red, orange, yellow, blue, and/or white. However, the hottest flames of fire are white-blue. White speaks to purity and wisdom; blue represents spoken truth and spiritual revelation from the highest heaven. Spiritually speaking, the prophet's spirit, soul, and body must be offered up to the Lord in service to Almighty God. It requires that the prophet surrender his or her will to God's good and perfect divine sovereign will. It demands that the thoughts, words and works of God be communicated with the pure intent of the Lord. True prophetic ministry, as revealed by Jeremiah (weeping prophet), Isaiah (eagle-eye prophet), Samuel, and others, can be strangely lonely and draining. Burden-bearing prophets, such as Ezekiel and the like,  are trusted with the weighty responsibility of intercession. Sometimes it's just the prophet and God. The prophet becomes God's instrument of love, help, and healing.  Surrender to God keeps the prophet's spirit in the fiery presence of the Lord.

A prophet's unique spirit is required for the office of prophet. However, the Lord may use anyone to prophecy. The prophet's mantle is not the same as the prophecy anointing. The mantle is a spiritual covering according to the prophet's spiritual territory and sphere of influence. It is activated upon the awakening of the prophet's prophetic spirit by the Lord.

 In this moment and in this hour of profound spiritual transition, you need a right now word from the Lord to bring clarity and illumination to the pilgrimage all prophets share. 

You also need the Holy Spirit to guide you through a spiritual assessment, and/or a holistic evaluation of your current condition to pinpoint where you are in relationship to where you need to be in this season. You need a spiritual analysis, a prophetic study and interpretation of the choices that resulted in your current condition; a spiritual plan, a strategic course of action to transform your life by the renewing of your mind; and spiritual implementation, a green light to move in the appointed direction to reach your destiny. All of this is preparation for prophetic ministry.  

One discipline method is fasting. Fasting is a Biblical principle that trains the Believer to depend on the Lord God for all things. It is usually a time of abstaining from food; however, other activities may be eliminated, as well. When the body is not involved in the work of food digestion and other activities, the spirit is able to hear the Holy Spirit more clearly and accurately. Fasting washes, cleanses, and purifies the spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, it is important to worship, pray fervently, read and study the Bible, and spend quiet time with the Lord during a fast. Fasting sharpens your spiritual senses, as well as your natural senses. It provides spiritual protection, as the Lord Himself keeps you. 

This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:23-24  

Lord Jesus Christ, I receive you as Savior and King. You are my HEALER. I have received the oil of joy and the garment of praise. Today, I choose to believe your TRUTH. I choose to be filled with your LIGHT. I choose to receive your eternal LIFE. Lord Jesus, by your grace, I will walk in LOVE. I will stay focused on YOU. I will trust you, King Jesus. I will believe that all things work together for good. I will praise you always, Lord. I will worship you in spirit and in truth, Lord. I will rest in your glory, Lord. I know that you understand me. I know that you know all about my past, present, and future. I know that you are working on my behalf in the unseen realm. You, Lord, have begun a good work in me; and You will complete it. I will trust the process from the inside out. I EXPECT the BEST! Thank you, Lord Jesus! I LOVE YOU! MAKE THIS YOUR CONFESSION!
