A Prophetic Vision of Transformation (Part 2)

 – by Steve Driessen

Let the Fire Fall

In my last post, I shared with you my vision of a firestorm.  Every former move of God was designed to bring us to this place and point of time. Every generation before us received a measure of revelation that became another brick to build with: brick upon brick, layer upon layer, truth upon truth, each generation adding to the last, laying a foundation for the next generation to build upon. Our ceiling should be their floor. We must pass revelation gained to the next generation, or it will be lost to them, and they will spend needless time redigging wells that should be producing water for them now.

Isaac had to reopen the wells that had been dug in the times of his father Abraham. The Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham had died:

Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them. — Genesis 26:18

That day Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. They said, “We’ve found water!” — Genesis 26:32

Prophetic words and revelation are potentially ours, but we must war for them to be brought to earth and realized in our lives. We have been given the authority to bind and loose, according to Matthew 16:19: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Prophetic words are like keys that unlock doors of heaven’s purpose for mankind, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Some are saying it’s too late, and that God is going to remove His grace from this nation. They say the best is past. I disagree. I believe the best is yet to come. We stand today at the brink of the greatest move of God the world has ever seen. The Holy Spirit wants to birth something in you so great that the words Jesus spoke in John 14:12, “He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father,” will come to pass in your lifetime.

Spiritual generals of past generations have been a foretaste of what God wants to do. Jesus Himself was a prototype of what we are to be. We are to represent Him to this lost, dying planet. We owe the people of this world an encounter with God so powerful that they will know there is a God in heaven Who loves them. Even as Jesus was not able to do anything by Himself, but could only do what He saw his Father doing, we also can only do what we see Him doing. It will take complete, total submission to the will of God — passion for Him, a fire that cannot be quenched.

It will also take revelation from God and our willingness to move according to what He reveals to us.  We will talk about that next time.
