PRINT -- Dance In The Fire
One night, as I was praying for God to heal me, suddenly I saw Him in a vision. He stretched out His hands to me and I took hold of them. He pulled me close to His chest then He started flying away with me.
He said, "Come away with Me."
He told me that He wanted to show me great and mighty things.
As we flew together I was still fretting about my health. He told me, "You have no idea of My POWER or of the good things I have in store for you."
I told Him I wanted to see those Great and Mighty things, but I asked Him if He would heal my body. I was distracted with that.
He told me to leave all my worries behind, "Leave your burdens behind. Leave them down there. You are here with Me now. You're worried about many things but only one thing matters. Keep your eyes on Me. The world and all its worries... they don't matter."
Then Jesus started dancing with me.
I said, "Lord, are you dancing with my soul??"
I felt the swirling of the dance in my spirit as I was laying in His presence in my body on the floor. God was swirling around with me in His arms. It was a little strange to me. A whole new experience with Him. I loved it.
I asked Him yet again if He would heal me in my body. Then He began to speak to me about the sickness being a fire that He's using to refine me.
He said that the sickness... the suffering... the fire would all point me in ONE direction... toward HIM and that He will continue to use it until He was done with it.
He told me the fire will bring me low and low is where I need to be. He said, "In this low place you will learn from Me. Come. Learn from Me for I am gentle and lowly in heart."
The whole time He spoke He was still dancing with me and twirling me around with joy. The Lord was full of joy as He danced with me, holding me close to His chest in a very protective embrace.
I was surprised by how much He enjoyed being with me and dancing with me. He spoke about serious things but He spoke with light-hearted joy.
And while He danced with me in the air, I saw my sickness rise up under me like flames of fire.
The fire was licking at my feet and making me push closer & closer into Jesus. I saw the Flames all over... everywhere... burning higher and higher. But Jesus was with me, dancing with me still... dancing with me in the fire.
He told me to dance in the fire.
Then I saw a vision of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace and Jesus was with them. They were not hurt by the fire.
And I asked God again will you heal my body and take away this sickness from me? And He answered, "Did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego come out of the fire?"
I said, "Yes, they came out. And they came out with a testimony." Then God told me that I would come out too.
He told me I was a forerunner. He told me that I was paving the way before others. He said He would use me as a way maker for others. He said that I'm going through things now that others will go through later and He will make a teacher out of me to teach others how to get through what I've been through. He said I have to go through it first. I can't teach what I have not experienced. I have to live it, so that I can teach it. He said people will follow where I have walked because I have tread a path.
Many of you are going through a fire because YOU are way-makers too. Your test will become your testimony, and what you are learning in the fire will one day help someone else walk through theirs. God can use the places that have brought you low, the battles that have driven you closer to Him, and the paths you never would have chosen to prepare you to strengthen others.
So don’t despise the fire. Keep your eyes on Jesus and dance with Him in the middle of it. The fire does not get the final word. One day you will look behind you and realize that where you thought you were alone, there God was close to you, and where you were crawling through life, God was forming you, teaching you, and creating a path that others could follow. You will come out of this fire, and you will come out carrying a testimony.
