Escaping Through The Flames (10.7.14)

“Escaping through the flames is not the best way to leave,

                                                 is not the best way to arrive.

Escaping through the flames speaks of a dwelling time within the fire,

                                               speaks of assistance being offered,

                                               speaks of a supervising rescuer.

Escaping through the flames gives the impression of not caring,

                                               gives the impression of being tardy,

                                               gives the impression of being dragged to safety.

Escaping through the flames is the result of unpreparedness,

                                               is the result of a plain gown seeming to be hired,

                                               is the result of coasting to a stop with the car in neutral.

Escaping through the flames declares a casual interest,

                                               declares a slightly warm commitment,

                                               declares a flame considering emitting shadowed smoke.

Escaping through the flames puts pressure on the removal of the dross,

                                               puts pressure on inspection of the process,

                                               puts pressure on that which should be a time of exceeding joy.

Escaping through the flames still binds the spirit to the soul and both to the body.

Escaping through the flames still brings unity to the new entity of man.

Escaping through the flames still enhances with the promises of survival.

Escaping through the flames is the toughest means of entrance to My Kingdom,

                                               is the lowest access way leading to success,

                                               is the still honoured passage for a life.

Escaping through the flames has a history built on seesaws,

                                               has a history of falls and stalls,

                                               has a history of rescuing galore,

                                               has a history extending to the crossroads where counsel was oft ignored,

                                               has a history which kept the angels busy writing with the slightest of slight smiles.

Escaping through the flames should not be the objective of the soul,

                                               should not target this gateway as the goal of life,

                                               should not will such an encounter for My bride of homecoming.

Escaping through the flames is embedded on the record of entry,

                                                                    on the record of a slothful servant,

                                                                    on the record as a lack of appreciation for the calls to qualify,

                                                                    on the record as approaching disobedience,

                                                                    on the record as grace is being stretched.

Escaping through the flames limits the rewards,

                                               limits the renewals,

                                               limits the approaches,

                                               limits the approvals,

                                               limits the visitations:

                                                                          so justice is not affronted.

Escaping through the flames limits the garden to the giftings of salvation,

                                                                           to the giftings of redemption,

                                                                           to the presence of the bride:

                                                                                          with little else to show for the time spent in mortality.

Escaping through the flames will not be the means of entry for My willing faith-filled servants,

                                                                                                for My disciples in their keenness,

                                                                                                for My followers who persevered with enthusiasm,

                                                                                                for the flock of the good shepherd:

                                                                                       which acquired and used the giftings of My Spirit.

Escaping through the flames is seen as dawdling on the ramp of motivation –

                                               is not as a high jump clearing the flames of fire,

                                               is not as a speed spurt which jumps the ditch of flaming fire,

                                               is not as running over an overhanging branch of the tree of life:

                                                                                                                          for spanning a divide.

Escaping through the flames is evident when faith is only smouldering within the soul.

Escaping through the flames props up the intent where knowledge has yet to combine with wisdom,

                                                                              where knowledge is insufficient to create a vision,

                                                                              where knowledge has not been sought with eagerness,

                                                                              where knowledge has not encouraged the spirit,

                                                                              where knowledge has no record of the dreams,

                                                                              where knowledge has had very little impact on the soul.

Escaping through the flames affects the onward being of the soul,

                                               affects the accumulating of fluency in tongues,

                                               affects the empirical nature of the transformation.

Escaping through the flames inhibits the transferring of the granting of desires.

Escaping through the flames is an ingress without the full honouring of God.”
