181. Let them blow their fingers off

During church Sunday morning the Lord spoke sharply to my heart. “Let them blow their fingers off, Ash.” Lord, you’re going to have to give me a little more than that. A tad softer He spoke again “Let them blow their fingers off, Ash.” Sometimes I wonder how He expects me to just understand what He means. I started to laugh while questioning Him in my mind and in the same exact moment, He showed me a vision of some fireworks.

I saw the Lord walk over to it and spark the fuse. “Not everyone likes fireworks, Ash.” 

He put on my heart that some don’t like the noise. Some are afraid. Some don’t want their perfect peace disturbed. Some will be oblivious in their ignorance but many will be shown the splendor of His Glory. “Do it for the ones that look for my Glory, Ash.” 

The Lord put on my heart that each and every one of us are designed as fireworks carrying the glory of the Lord. We are sparked by our belief in Christ and we are ignited and fueled by our time in the word of God and in prayer. The more word, the more truth, the more Lord within you, the higher He can take you in throne room revelation. 

Much like lighting a firework, this process can begin aimed in one direction, and as the word of the Lord burns within you, it can change where it ends up. You can never really tell where in the sky a firework will explode. You can aim and you can pray. The rest is up to the Lord. 

The same spark is available for everyone that believes in Jesus as the resurrected son of God. The ignition and continued burn of the fuse is based on your prayer life, and your reading and applying the Word of God to your life. The element that becomes the colorful blast in the sky is the Holy Spirit inside of you. 

The word within you combining with the Holy Spirit inside of you determines your ultimate tragectory, or where you’ll end up. It can also determine the reach you’ll have visually in the sky or how large of an area the Lord has you responsible for.  

Ultimately though, the amount of the Lord’s Glory shown to the world is directly related to the explosion of the vessel carrying that Glory. The death of your flesh, and the total obliteration of any part of you that isn’t completely submitted to the Lord is key. 

The Lord will provide the spark, the rest is up to us. We have to look at our free will, our ability to crucify our flesh, to take up our cross, and our full and total submission to the Lord in every area of our lives, not just the easy ones. 

As I saw the Lord walking around sparking new fuses, I saw the enemy coming around behind him trying to snuff them out. Some of the fuses would get cut, some of the time demons would lick their fingers and pinch them out. Other times they burned out on their own, no enemy involvement at all. But there were a few that wouldn’t go out. No matter what the enemy tried, they wouldn’t go out. As the fuses burned shorter and faster I could see the enemy begin to panic. I could see darkness coming together to gather around that single flame trying everything they could to snuff it out. 

The Lord looked at me as if to motion watch this, and I saw the firework take off and the darkness of the enemy blown back with an insurmountable force. “Let them blow their fingers off, Ash.” He smiled at me. 

The enemy can’t stop what the Lord is doing in your life. You carry the Glory of the Lord. You are a vessel for His honor. The Holy Spirit lives within you. The Lord is for you. Let them blow their fingers off. The Lord will do the rest.
