“And when the men of that place had knowledge of Him,
they sent out into all that country round about,
and brought unto Him all that were diseased.”
Matthew 7:14
TURN US LORD
There is great diversity in what may be considered knowledge. Within the Christian church, we see no end to the preaching and teaching about Jesus Christ. But this “knowledge” produces little impetus within the hearts of His own to make Him known.
The True Knowledge
In Gennesaret, the inhabitants had a true knowledge of Jesus; they were moved to go throughout the country and bring men and women to Jesus.
Not only must we consider the results of vast amounts of teaching across our country, but we must also confess our own lethargy and complacency; the very temper of our love for Jesus.
Tepid Ministers – Tepid Hearts
Tepid ministers who preach a gospel that leaves the hearers void of the fire and pulse of the Spirit are more injurious to the cause of Christ than any atheist or non-believer.
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.”
Matthew 23:13 (ESV)
The disciples who had been filled with tongues of fire were considered ignorant by the “learned,” who vehemently sought to dissuade them, even resorting to violence. However, these precious ones resolutely declared:
“For we cannot but speak the things
which we have seen and heard.”
Acts 4:18-20
Only those filled with the fire of God can declare such things. In all our church services and cozy home fellowships, we must cry out to the King of kings for fresh fire.
We need a fresh baptism of His Spirit, accompanied by the burning tongues of fire, that inspires and presses men and women to bring their all to the feet of Jesus.

Turn us, Lord, to the true knowledge of you that we may once again be the light of you to the world around us – fill us afresh with your fire!
“Oh ! for this baptism of fire!
When every spoken word for Jesus shall be a thunderbolt,
and every prayer shall bring forth a mighty flood.”

Got Faith?
I saw, in a vision, the morning of October 31, 2025, an army of believers. They were suited up in accordance with Ephesians 6. However, the shield of faith was preeminent in the vision. In putting on the armor, the shield is the only piece where purpose is mentioned, which is to quench the firey darts of the wicked one. Ephesians 6:16. In this vision, I saw, as I stated above, an army where their shields were prominent. However, the shields were made of paper, so when the volley of firey darts came, the shields vanished in a puff of smoke.
How does one get faith that successfully quenches the firey darts of the devil?
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Remember when Jesus was tempted by Satan He didn’t think scripture. He verbalized it by speaking it.
In order to quote scripture, one must be reading it and memorizing it.
Revival Fire
I had a vision the morning of 08/14/2025. In the vision, I saw people in their individual prayer closets praying. I saw in each prayer closet an unlit torch on a stand. As they earnestly prayed, I saw the torch suddenly lit with fire, and the dark prayer closet was filled with light. Then I saw an angel open the door stating, ” it’s time,” and then the individual came out. This was an occurrence that was happening with many. As the angel opened the door for those who had been praying in secret, I saw each, with torches now lit come together. As each brought their individual torches and joined with others, the individual torches became a huge single fire.
This is how, I believe, revival begins, with the individual believer hidden away from public view in his/her prayer closet waiting on the Holy Spirit to set them on fire
Fire…. Judgment/Revival
On the morning of July 6, 2025, just before waking, I had the following dream. In the dream, I saw a door in heaven open and a hand reached out and pulled me up by a lock of my hair. There, I saw angels with books opened. Then I saw churches where there were 2 types of people coming out of them. I saw some leaving engulfed in flames yet not consumed. These I saw walking out as they were set on fire by the Holy Spirit. Then I saw others running out of the church screaming as they were burning as if someone had doused them with gasoline and set them on fire. These I saw curled up in a ball, writhing in pain
