Revisiting yesterday’s example of a glove, you are made in God’s image just as a glove is made for the image of your hand. But if you are handicapped or missing a finger or two, the glove will be a bit taxing for usage. Therefore, you must allow God to fully be in you and not partially. Think about it. If God is fully in you and you are a fully surrendered person, then He is able to perform His Will on your life, and your life should be heading to good pasture. Yes, there are birth pains that many are not accustomed to and will try to resist, but such resistance needs to die to yourself and allow God to take over your life. The glove without the hand is useless, as we without God in us are dead in spirit.
You must think about what it means for a renewed mind and think about how much culture or this world has influenced your thinking and thought process. You must realize how much of your decision-making process is emotional and flesh-led. Just because you are saved does not mean you know what you are doing or hearing God properly.
When God wanted to save His people from Egypt, HE raised a shepherd to lead them out. This shepherd, who is a type of Christ, was Moses, trained for 80 years. The first 40 years under Egyptian royalty to learn the art of secular structure and the last 40 in the wilderness to break and refine him. Then this Moses, who represents one seed, is sent to teach and lead God’s people out and into the promised land. This is God’s pattern.
God has saved us, delivering us from spiritual Egypt. HE initially raised Bishop to start the modern-day Holy Fire Ministry under decades of intense prayer, long suffering, and refining for Bishop and his family. Then the call went out to others as Bishop’s fruit was distributed to the nations, so its seed can bear fruit. The seed fell onto some ground, and that Word and calling fell onto your current pastors. This word and calling fell to others to start the branch churches throughout the world. Just like there are 200 million sperm swimming for one egg, so are many seeds spread throughout the earth to determine who will reach God’s Heart. How they progress is based on their own personal diligence and obedience.
Basically, through a decade of breaking, long suffering, and refining, your current pastors were birthed for the Fire of God Church. Through this church, God used your pastors to spread His seed to call other hidden ones, and the playbook is the same and continues. Now you are all here as our family. Unless you come to the full understanding and revelation of God’s process, order, and spiritual government, you cannot thrive.
I would like all of you to ask the Beloved Holy Spirit to give you the eternal wisdom and understanding of His Kingdom and how it works, so you may humble yourselves and strive for Him. This cultural influence, which is so ingrained in all of you, must be pruned away. Pruning away can feel very painful, but essential. All of us were initially influenced by this capitalist system to survive and obtain alpha status. But in God’s Kingdom, His system is to trust, submit, surrender, and yield to His prophets so you may prosper and make it to heaven. This is not to boast of our authority or what we went through to reach our status, but we are your elders, as we were called first. If you do not like it, please take it up with the Holy Spirit, and I cannot help you then.
But for all of you who will grab onto the words of life as the Holy Spirit speaks, may you all come to His eternal understanding and life so we may all thrive and continue to conquer taking back our earth from the demonic hoards who had stolen it from Adam and Eve for this is the Will of the Father. It is to return His people back to prefall, restoring us back to innocence and intimacy with Him.
We are Judah, and we have been given the assignment to go first, doing new things, as all things are renewed, showing others the Will of Father to take back the earth and prepare the return of our King.

2 Chronicles 20:20 “Early the next morning the army of JUDAH went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way, Jehoshaphat stopped and said, “Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”
Isaiah 43:19 NLT “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
Your heart is the old pathway of wilderness and wasteland, and God will make a new way for you to seek Him. It is the rivers of the Holy Spirit that guide you to His Will and Heart.
When you have lived in the wastelands for so long, that is your culture, and when a new thing is presented, we tend to want to state our familiarity. This is where you must carry your cross and follow. The wasteland will eventually kill you; therefore, take a risk with God by fully surrendering and submitting to those HE has chosen to help you.
