Shalom beloved,
I really felt that I needed to get this word out to the Body of Christ although it was given to us here at Father’s Heart Ministry. I believe this will help many who are facing extreme hardships and trials at this moment. We need to be encouraged at this time as the enemy is trying to get many to loose hope because of the setbacks and extreme circumstances that we find ourselves in. Many of our promises seem to be wiped out right in front of our eyes. Meanwhile we are exactly where He wants us to be, He can wipe out our enemies in one second, it is the enemy who is the one who has been allowed to test us and resists us, only to work for Gods eternal purpose in our lives
- Romans 8:28-30. This purpose is for us to become like Christ. As we are purified in this intense heat we can only survive by drawing closer to Jesus. As this happens He is preparing us for His manifested glory.
The humble heart is what He is after, before He will pour out His glory, within this glory are all the promises we have been waiting for, for so long. Many of promises that God has given to us have become more important to us than the things He is looking for in us. Our goal is the physical manifestation of the promises, yet there are other promises that are more important to Jesus like, love, faith, longsuffering, mercy, humility, gentleness, that He wants within us. This is the His Bride that He so desires, a meek and humble wife. This is the Lambs Wife who is now ready to marry the Lamb. He wants us a Bride and wife who
herself, is a lamb (Revelation 21:10). This is His Kingdom that He wants us to seek first. His ways are not ours, it is the eternal that is more important to Him, many times we are caught up in externals and the temporary, yet the real value is the work that He is doing inside of us. The Kingdom of God is within us, the value is Christ in us, the hope of glory, which He so wants to release into the nations. This is His priority!!!! He is our glory and lifter of our heads.
He is fashioning His fiery glorious Fire Bride who is totally meek and humble. For only then will we be able to bear the weight of His glory. The highest place in the Kingdom and the highest virtue is humility, only when we are in this place, are we ready to receive and reveal His manifested glory. This place is the place of our inheritance. So let us take courage as we draw closer to Him, through humbling ourselves and waiting on our King.
I want to share this vision given to Mirjam, who like many of us is going through extreme heat at this time.
The humble fire Bride reveals His glory

dancing within the Walls for fire
For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’” Zechariah 2:5
I saw a bride, the bride, saw her dance and move around between the walls of the fire around her. It looked like a dance of intimacy, dancing in the safety of the protection of this fire. She is so aware of this safety, so secure in it, she seemed to not have a worry or a doubt in the world – all in between those walls around her
Had a song playing with the words “ oh how I love Your presence” – which completely described the emotion I felt she had being in this safe place, a wall of fire all around her.
Saw the wall of fire around her from above, like looking down ON it and I saw the fire around her got closer to her, closer around her.
I heard the more intense the trial, suffering, pain – the more you will experience the fire I build around you. This is not to hurt you, but to protect you. I am the glory in your midst, and I will move closer when you are going through intense trial and suffering.
I saw as the trial or situation subsided, the wall would move away more, the circle would grow wider, less intense thickness of the glory of God, yet still thick glorious presence, as He is the glory in her midst. It is like a pickle in a jar, preserved in the glory – keeping the bride in a state of worship through pain, joy through tears and love through hardship.
The more intense the trial, the closer the fire was to this bride, giving little space to move around – when danger subsides, the wall will never leave, but will give more space to move around, dance!
The fire is more concentrated when its closer, closing in on the bride – the fire also looked like it was higher up, way above the head of this bride, but as it is a spiritual fire, there is no end to it in height in the spiritual realm.
The fire gives intense protection when needed – it produces much glory as the walls move closer to the bride.. it was like she could even SEE more glory because the wall of fire was closer around her – it was easier to see Gods’ glory and there was even less space to move around, there was now only place to stand or kneel – to be humble as the wall of fire closes in on the bride, almost demanding a humble position and attitude.
The humble bride will reveal his glory
He is in the fiery walls, and He is the defence, and all the bride did was stay low and humble through the process. Saw that as she was humble, God was able to BE her defense, when she was not humble, pride will make her want to be her own defence.
Saw she had to learn this as the fire kept moving away and closer again. It was like the situation repeated itself over and over.
I heard, “I will teach you through this fire, it is not just to protect you, it will also teach you and reveal My glory to you in new ways – as nothing is too big for me to turn around for something good, for those who love Me. I use it and I will be glorified through it.”
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Psalm 50:3 + 15
The encouragement I get out of this word is that the more intense the trial we experience, the closer God will move towards us to protect us with His presence. This fire is the wall of protection, there is security only in the fire of His divine presence. I also notice in this vision that the walls move closer and further apart over and over this is like the birthing process which I believe many are going through as we birth our destinies through great pain and aguish. These are contractions of the Spirit.
The amazing part is as we get to a place where we are hemmed in on every side and cannot move, all we can do is humble ourselves in His presence. Waiting for Him to deliver us, this is the place of ultimate humility where we don’t seek to rescue ourselves but trust in Him to deliver us. Humbling ourselves before Him and waiting in His presence. This is the secret place, where He becomes our shield and our all in all. He will judge our enemies in due time. He will raise His righteous right hand a destroy our enemies in His time. He will do it for us, He will manifest all His promises to us.
Only when He and His presence become more important to us than our promises, are we ready to inherit the promises. The test we are facing is, are we prepared to sacrifice Jesus and His presence in order to get our promises? We do this by worrying and by taking things into our own hands, through many levels of compromise.
We must seek Him first, and all His promises will manifest when His is our all in all. The greatest promises that He has promised us, is that He will be formed in us. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren - Romans 8:29 Christ in us the hope of glory, when this hope is manifested in us, then and only then will the glory be revealed in our lives through all these external promises being manifested. This is His priority, it needs to become our priority. First things first. Seek first His Kingdom. When nothing matters but having Him, then we are ready to inherit the rest of His promises. He is the only one who truly satisfies.
The question He is asking His Bride is, “ Are you truly satisfied only in Me?”
If we say yes to this question, then we will dance in this fire and bow low in His presence, being completely satisfied, with only Him. A place called surrender and confident rest.
Dancing and bowing down in the fire of His love
Warren
