Some have requested that I re-post a previous encounter from 2009 regarding the Vision of the Rain of Fire that I had. May it bless you! - Susan
Vision of the Rain of
Fire 1-06-09
In the vision, I was looking at the world from a suspended
position. I could see people and areas from a panoramic position and also at
times, I saw things close up. The position varied as it did with the scenes and
with the messages that I was given to understand by the experiences given to
me.
I saw what looked to me like great fiery rain coming from heaven
and it came in great drops or elongated streams. It was not like the natural
rain that we know of, but it was like spiritually infused living molten lava, a
real fire, but it was Living Spirit; the living fiery essence of the Father
that was raining down towards the inhabitants below.
As I watched, I saw that it fell simultaneously in one great event
all over the earth. But it did not fall everywhere, and it did not upon
everyone. It rained down suddenly and I saw that many people did see it
coming from above as it happened, as it was a real physical event that men
could actually experience and see, but it was also a divine event that not all
men would experience, but I understood that men would know that God had entered
into the corporate natural affairs of men divinely again.
It was not a slow natural event like a storm or a weather
phenomenon that you could track, or follow and monitor, actually, from my
perspective it looked like a slow unfolding event, but I understood that it
actually happened very fast. I was just being given an enhanced view for my
understanding and learning.
The raining fire of the Father that I saw falling was the Real
Living Essence of the Father Himself that was being released upon those whom He
had prepared to receive it below. It was interesting to watch this happen, as
it fell upon people whom you would not expect nor think that it would, or even
that it would not, by our thinking or reasoning of qualifications.
The fiery rain would come down and fall upon a particular person
who would be either aware of it falling or not be aware of it falling at that
particular moment, but when it did hit them, they underwent a sudden tremendous
change. I watched close up as the living fire seemed to penetrate into them and
infuse itself or radiate itself throughout their beings and bodies. They
literally became the very same Essence of the Father that the rain was that had
fell upon them. Their eyes burned with a new life and even their skin was
changed. It was not like ours now. It had a different texture or spiritual
component to it’s makeup, and the fire flowed throughout their skin like a
radiance, but it was not just an outward surface shining, but it was n internal
radiance from within the skin layers itself. It was not like human skin as we
know it, the qualities had been divinely altered, and the people now had new
natures. I did not fully understand all of this process, but it was real and it
was new. They were of a different spirit, as they now embodied the divine in
such a way that we have yet to experience up to now.
The people who were infused would now physically embody the divine
fire, but it also lived through them and it became them as they became it,
also. They did not lose their individual personalities through the process, but
each person was still their own unique vessel, but they were also now divinely
infused and were more divinely aware of God and understood their earthly
purpose now. The fire seemed to fully express itself within them so that it
flowed outwardly also by the transformation that was happening to them. By this
I mean that there was such a Holiness and a terrible Presence of the Father in
them and on them, that you knew that God the Father walked in them, and that He
was now walking through them in a manner that we have yet to experience in any
generation yet. God was manifesting Himself in a people just like He did with
Jesus, when Jesus walked amongst us. But now these people did it openly.
I then watched in the vision from a view further away, and I saw
that it indeed only fell upon some and not on upon others. The selection of who
it fell upon was the Father’s and not of any man. Most of those that I saw that
it fell upon were some people were very weary and very embattled people. From
earthly standards, we probably wouldn’t have thought that they would amount to
anything by their current life and their struggles that they have endured. But
I understood that their unique trials and their life’s struggles that they
lived out had actually served to prepared them for this new infusion that now
came from the Father.
One man that I saw in particular that received the fiery rain was
very emotionally and spiritually broken. He had endured much physical hardship
and I understood that he had endured much persecution from the church. He had
been misunderstood most of his life and he also had thought that he had failed
God and that he had missed God and that he had lost his place. But God used
these things in his life to lead him closer to Himself and to purify this man
to be able to be one that would become His chosen vessel. He was very beloved
by the Lord and he had learned humility through the suffering which caused him
to rise above the hardness and the hatred that’s in the world, even though he
did not understand why his life was this way.
Not every person that I saw was as broken as this man was that had
received this infusion, I was just given to notice certain ones for my own
learning and for our beneficial clarity. Many of the people I saw seemed to be
living successful lives and seemed to be spiritually healthy or spiritually
active in their walks in spite of the hour in which they lived in. But the
common factor that I noticed with them all was that they each had undergone
recent trials and they were currently experiencing various levels of spiritual
warfare and were in various stages of purging by the Lord in their walks. Most
did not understand the full reason why their lives were embattled, nor
understand the full plan of God behind it all, but they did seek god in the
midst of it all.
Another person I noticed was one that did not receive the divine
infusion. But rather, this person watched as others were filled and was angry
and yelled at God. One man I saw screamed out that he was one of the servants
that had prophesied of it’s coming, and had taught on it, so he should be one
that received it and that he deserved it. He was angry that the Father did not
give it to him. I was afraid as I saw this in the vision, as I knew that his
anger was pride and arrogance and that the Father was just in this, for this
man’s heart was not truly right. I also knew that this man would fall as he did
not have the right heart necessary to stand in the next hour and to fulfill his
course successfully. He had allowed the pride of position and the pride that
comes from being used by God to bring forth revelation from God to others, to
cause him to be disqualified and to harden his heart. I feared the Lord as I
watched, for I knew that we all stand by Grace, and not one of us can receive
anything from God unless we truly believe and unless we truly are fully
surrendered to Him in every way.
I divinely understood that it was a matter of the individual’s
heart before God, and not just on his outward qualifications, knowledge, or
training. God walks with each of His People, and He daily leads them on their
life’s journey, and what they learn throughout their experiences and through
their dependence upon God through it, determines their receptiveness or not.
God desires that we utterly trust Him, that we utterly love Him, and that we
utterly believe Him. Even though we each experience different levels of trials
and events in our personal journeys, the lessons are the same for all men. We
must each come to a death of our own ego and self life and we must come to a
deeper personal knowledge of God and into an intimate relationship with God.
Our responses to God in our life’s process will determine if we will walk fully
with Him or not, and if we will allow Him to change us into what he wants us to
be. God sees us all and knows each of our hearts. He knows who will let Him
have His full and complete way in their lives. Even though we might think we
have failed Him, because of the severity of our individual paths and trials,
and also because we did not understand the process of why we were in the
events, the Father knows the depths of what lies deep within each of us.
I watched as others were transformed here and there, and it was
also a very shocking event on the earth as it was so sudden and unexpected. It
also did not come in the manner in which we had been taught from the church
leaders, but it came as it had been ordained from the Father, for this
generation. There was worldwide upheaval as the newly infused people began to
quickly then be sent out by the Father all over the earth on the Father’s
business, and the people around them realized that they did not receive what
the others had. There was a lot of crying out from people all around also, as
this event also produced a huge surge of spiritual searching and even chaos in
the church as the people who were not infused questioned the established church
leaders of their knowledge of this event and it’s significance.
I also was given to know that out of those who did not receive the
infusion of the Fiery Essence, this did not mean that they were not the Lord’s
people. It just meant that they had missed the divine release because of their
lack of inner spiritual preparation and that they had not fully developed their
hearts before God in their relationships in a timely manner for this event.
They were still God’s children, but they had missed the opportunity to be used
in this higher divine manner for the next stages of events that would come upon
the earth. There was a great sorrow expressed over this reality, as many of
them realized that they did not fully lay hold of the higher call or obtain to
the mark that God had set for them all to achieve.
What I did see was that this divine event caused a great sobering
wave to spread across the church and also a wave of a great determination to
seek God exploded across the church and also across the globe. Many began to
rise up and decide to be purified themselves and they began to sacrifice
everything to obey God, but it did not come as a reality in their lives until
after these events happened. Nevertheless, this event served to bring about the
corporate awakening and the rising up of the majority of the true Body of
Christ across the globe. Many now questioned what they had been spiritually
taught by others, and many returned to studying the Word and they began to
search it out for themselves. A new respect for the Church began to also spread
amongst the Christian people, as they realized the reality of being the Body of
Christ, and repentance began to burst forth and a new sense of purpose caused
them to not persecute one another, but to see each other as Christ.
This event also brought about much chaos, fear, confusion, and
anger amongst the unbelieving Christians, and among the religious, and
especially the general world populations. Great persecution also immediately
broke out against the divine fire, as many did not understand it and they
feared it. The newly infused people of God were not like them anymore, as they
had been divinely changed, and this caused much panic and turmoil. But it also
caused revival to break out and a great fear of the reality of God to began to
be spread worldwide.
The devil was also greatly enraged as the Divine Essence now was
embodied again in the earth, and he no longer had dominion over God’s people to
prevent them anymore, and a great resistance and opposition and war broke out
in many areas as the Divine Light now clashed with the darkness. I saw great
upheavals and war in many areas, but also great restorations and great Light
begin to spread throughout God’s people all across the globe. The Father is in
full control of the earthly events, even those to come and He is active in all
of the affairs of men.
The vision ended.
Matthew 3:10
And already the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that
does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed
baptize you in (with) water because of repentance [that is, because of your
changing your minds for the better, heartily amending your ways, with
abhorrence of your past sins]. But He Who is coming after me is mightier than
I, Whose sandals I am not worthy or fit to take off or carry; He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 His winnowing fan (shovel, fork) is
in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out and clean His threshing floor and
gather and store His wheat in His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with fire
that cannot be put out.
Luke 3:16 John answered them all by saying, I baptize
you with water; but He Who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of Whose
sandals I am not fit to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
with fire. 17 His winnowing shovel (fork) is in His hand to thoroughly clear
and cleanse His [threshing] floor and to gather the wheat and store it in His
granary, but the chaff He will burn with fire that cannot be extinguished.
Matthew 20:21
And He asked her, What do you wish? She answered Him, Give orders that these
two sons of mine may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left in Your
kingdom. 22 But Jesus replied, You do not realize what you are asking. Are you
able to drink the cup that I am about to drink [e]and to be baptized with the baptism with which I
am baptized ? They answered, We are able. 23 He said to them, You will drink My
cup, but seats at My right hand and at My left are not Mine to give, but they
are for those for whom they have been [f]ordained and prepared by My Father.
Mark 10:37
And they said to Him, Grant that we may sit, one at Your right hand and one at
[Your] left hand, in Your glory (Your majesty and splendor). 38 But Jesus said
to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup
that I drink or be baptized with the baptism [of affliction] with which I am
baptized? 39 And they replied to Him, We are able. And Jesus told them, The cup
that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with
which I am baptized, 40 But to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not
Mine to give; but [it will be given to those] for whom it is ordained and
prepared.
Joel 2:23 Be
glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He
gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He
causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as
before. 24 And the [threshing] floors shall be full of grain and the vats shall
overflow with juice [of the grape] and oil. 25 And I will restore or replace
for you the years that the locust has eaten--the hopping locust, the stripping
locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 And
you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your
God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to
shame. 27 And you shall know, understand, and realize that I am in the midst of
Israel
and that I the Lord am your God and there is none else. My people shall never
be put to shame. 28 And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions. 29 Even upon the menservants and upon the
maidservants in those days will I pour out My Spirit. 30 And I will show signs
and wonders in the heavens, and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of
smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the
great and terrible day of the Lord comes. 32 And whoever shall call on the name
of the Lord shall be delivered and saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the remnant
[of survivors] shall be those whom the Lord calls.
