Captivate my heart, dear Jesus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw an enormous fiery angel full of the glory of the Lord walking up and down the nation. He was brandishing a mighty sword that was beheading those who were standing tall in their own pride, egotism, and self glory. It was an
attitude of their heart that the Lord was dealing with through this angel.
Those who were bowed low on their faces in a posture of utter humility were spared, knighted, and promoted. They were the ones God was raising up into a new place of leadership because of their meekness and humility of heart. The Lord was making a profound point about the importance of posturing ourselves in humility.

Your heart breaks as your reputation and your walk with the Lord is condemned. Competition, position, jealousy and pride are driven out of your life by the purifying flames.
You feel as if you're going to explode under the ever-increasing pressure. The Lord tenderly explains, "My child, in the midst of the blazing fire, a mystery takes place. Brilliant color pushed deep into the body of the clay vessel."
"My mysteries and My revelations are revealed in the tremendous pressure of the high glory fire. This is a hidden time when the most beautiful colors are formed in the earthenware vessel. The richness and depth of color come from the darkest hours of agony and grief, just as diamonds, rubies and emeralds come from hot fires inside the earth. In the midst of this second firing My glory is being released into the depth of who you are."
At the moment when you just know you're going to die, the Lord opens all the dampers. Carbon and black soot escape, oxygen pours in, and the fire starts to burn clean, white and fresh. The resurrection light of the Lord and His white transparent glory fire fill the kiln.
Everything seems new because you are no longer looking through the haze of
ego pride or religiousness. You start to see with clarity in the Spirit.
Suddenly, in the midst of the white transparent, glory fire, you hear the voice of the Lord and see all the angels as well as the Lord Himself. Fresh anointings and impartations are poured out, and fresh hot commissions and renewed visions are etched into the hearts of men.
The Lord begins to place His chosen mantles on various clay vessels. He takes coals of fire and places them on stammering lips to ignite prophetic giftings that were declared over these vessels when they were on the Potter's wheel.
Shaking and crying, healing and deliverance, deep repentance and intercession fill the kiln as
hungry hearts cry out for more of God.
They've been through a time of appointing, a time of testing, a time of separation and a time of death, but in this high fire they'll go through a time of resurrection as they start to move in the anointing with authority.
When the Lord walks through the kiln and
sees Himself reflected on each vessel as in a mirror, He turns off the kiln. With great joy He announces, "
Now that you reflect My glory, I can send you out to all the world."
