Andy Elmes, an amazing pastor from England, was in town and spoke words of encouragement in these tumultuous times and where we need to keep our focus:  "Having a crowd mentality versus a disciple mentality: Crowds experience miracles; disciples get to handle the miracles." ~ Andy Eglin
 
Friday night, as we were just waiting on Holy Spirit, I saw a lion with half the face as clouds and half as fire. It reminded me of Moses and how He led the children of Israel through the wilderness, and I knew I would paint the next Sunday. However, when I sat down to paint, I kept hearing. "Fire on the altar" over and over again. Finally, I picked up a Sharpie and wrote it across the canvas. Then "El Shaddai," "Lion of the Tribe of Judah," "Consuming Fire," and "Breakthrough," followed. I then painted.
 
When I got home, I looked up scripture references (listed below) for each of the phrases I heard. (The words written all over the canvas). Here is the summation of them, given in order of the phrases: 
"Fire on the altar" (Lev. 6:12-13) There is so much God is doing in this hour. He is rekindling fires and beckoning us to fan into the flame our own fires to burn for Him. 
"El Shaddai" (Gen 17:1) He is reminding us of promises and covenants with Him. 
"Lion of the Tribe of Judah" (Deut 4:23-24) Worship is no longer an option but should be a lifestyle. 
"Consuming Fire" (Rev 5:5) He is a jealous God, a Consuming Fire, and will not share us with any idols we may have in our life. 
"Breakthrough" (1Chron 14:11) God has broken in upon the things that are keeping us bound, "like the breaking forth of waters." 
 
It's time! God is on the move.
