Catching Fire

12/1/2013

I enter into a pitch-black room.  I have no depth perception, no source of light, or anything to indicate life.  The area resonates with echoing sounds when I shuffle my feet.  I shudder as a chill runs down my spine.  A few eerie seconds, which feel like years, pass by.  I reach out and feel nothing but the cool air around me.  Senses of being claustrophobic, falling, and floating hit me in waves.

Where am I? 

Suddenly, I see a flame appear a short distance away from me!  As I approach this small flame, simply sitting on the ground, begins to flicker.  I instinctively knew there was a breeze by the flickering of this odd flame.  I gain a sense of being on a cliff edge as I look around with the flickering flame illuminating the few feet around me.  Everything else is still pitch-black.

What is this doing here?

After looking around while attempting to figure out what was going on, I look up.  The flame immediately shoots straight up above as fast a missile.  Before the flame disappears from my sight an enormous fiery explosion occurs way up above!  I am terrified!  Once the explosion occurs, what seems to be a growing fire along a once invisible wall spreads like wildfire.

What is going on?

As the spreading fire continues, the “wall” which had burnt by the expanding fire stays lit.  Small burnt pieces of frail matter starts to fall from up above.  I am lost in confusion.  All around me is now a fiery-lit walled cavern, and I was in the middle of it.  A few more seconds pass by and the walls begin to move.  They move in a rhythmic pattern.  I’m looking all around me at this very strange phenomenon occurring and I realize where I am. 

I’m in the middle of a heart that has caught on fire.  It’s not a fire of death, but a Living Fire!  The burnt matter falling was the cold dead wall of the past heart.  This heart has life, movement, and energy.  It’s Alive.  It has purpose.  It has a passion to continue burning.  It will remain on fire unless it chooses to grow cold.

This was a vision revealed to me 3 years ago while on a mission trip in Cambodia by the Holy Spirit.  Some people may disagree the sources of visions, but I have the faith of knowing Who and What revealed this very detailed revelation to me.

The desire of me sharing is to empower, encourage, and bring dead things to life so that others may grow.  This is the main reasoning of my website Core Of A Living Heart.  I speak to the Heart of people.  This is a never-ending journey I am continuing, but now sharing even more via the web.  I may share an activity/lesson, an experience I went through in my daily life, or something deep in me I have a passion for letting you, the viewer, know.

I may not be the most qualified, eloquent, or illustrative person.  However, I’m not here for the approval of man, but to see you grow.  Our tongue has the power of life or death, and I choose to speak life.  I would be deeply honored and appreciative for others to join by subscribing and even sharing now and in the days to come!

I loved this! I was at training camp with you and was part of the AFX team for the past 3 months. I asked for your blog at TC to find this and so glad I did. At TC when you read this, was it a longer version? If so, would you mind sharing? I remember a lengthier speech that I want to read and experience again!
