The Fire of God Returning to the Western Church by Brian Britton - Identity Network

The Fire of God Returning to the Western Church by Brian Britton

Luke 3:16 "John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

The other morning as I was in prayer, the Lord began to speak to me about the fire of the Holy Spirit returning to the Western church. In the west, particularly the United States, we have been in a season of great revelation in the church. 


In the last 30 years or so, we have seen a truly unprecedented amount of revelation and teaching being released in the church especially in regards to the supernatural and in operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Lord recently showed me a vision where I saw all of this revelation and teaching being prepared as altars before the Lord and He was sending a fire to ignite these altars and fuel Revival in the earth.

Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

In addition to leading local churches, I minister as a missionary revivalist and I am blessed to travel the earth sharing the good news of Jesus. I have been honored to serve with some of the most amazing preachers from around the world in nations that have experienced amazing moves of God.  Honestly, the first thing you notice as a westerner while visiting a church in Africa, South America or Asia, is the fiery preaching and powerful Spirit-filled ministry. 

The church services in these areas are marked by the Fire of God. The same can be said for the preaching coming from the pulpits of revivals past in the USA. In our Great Awakenings and revivals of the past, the pulpits of America and Western Europe thundered with the fire of God! The fire of the Holy Spirit also brings an increase of miracles, signs and wonders, salvations and what we call revival.

A Fresh Baptism of Fire

I feel in the Spirit that a shift has occurred and that we are now in the beginning of this season of fire in the West. I have felt this shift in my own life in recent months and have watched in awe at the increase of His fire in my life.  It has impacted every area of my life from relationships to ministry. Let's pray together for the Lord to send a fresh baptism of fire in our nation! 

I believe that the fire of the Holy Spirit is a direct manifestation of the love of God, which incidentally is the most powerful force in the universe. With the coming of the fire, His love is made manifest and brings an increase of the knowledge of His glory in the earth and an awareness to the truth of the gospel. 

Our pulpits in the USA and Europe will thunder again with His fire and many will be drawn to Jesus as a result. The great teachers of our generation and those rising even now will burn with the greatest fire that the church has ever known.  This is a time where the Holy Spirit is breathing on and igniting the things of God in the earth. Imagine millions not just professing faith in Him but burning with His love and releasing the fires of revival everywhere they go! Imagine arenas filled with worshipers all being ignited at once! 

They are already beginning to gather for events such as Jesus Culture Conferences, One Thing, The Call, mass evangelism campaigns by Rhinehard Bonnke, Bethel Worship Nights, etc.  And look at how through technology, God has already built the pathway for news of this fire to be shared instantly throughout the earth. 

I believe this fresh baptism of fire for the church in the West is the catalyst to ignite the billion-soul harvest prophesied by Bob Jones and others. Now is the time! Ignite Your church in the West oh God, to be a great beacon, burning brightly for your glory. A fire that will never wane! Be encouraged! These are great days in the Kingdom!

"Wave of Healing Hitting the East and West Coast" - Brian Britton

"Wave of Healing Hitting the East and West Coast"

Brian Britton, Williamsburg, VA

The Elijah List

As we are in a time of great acceleration, I sense an urgent call on this word for the Body of Christ to engage with Heaven, to pray and move in Him, to see this come to pass. These are great days of revival, open heavens and Kingdom advancement. As things seem to be getting darker, His great light is shining brighter!

Acts 4:29-30 "...and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy servant Jesus."

Over the last 13 years, while ministering as a missionary revivalist in the nations and leading revival churches here in the States, I have been blessed to see God heal thousands of people and draw many unto Himself as the Good News of Jesus is preached. At times in Africa and Asia, we have seen God heal over 1000 people in a single meeting. But gone are the days where these reports only come from the mission field.

In the last 8 years here at home, we have seen many miracles in our churches in Virginia and in other places as we have seen on the foreign mission field. From people being healed of everything from cancer to headaches and more, we have been blessed to see God move in this generation like never before! I say all this to glorify God, but also to say that recently I have been overwhelmed by the great truth that God is about to do even more than we can imagine for His glory.

A Wave of Healing From Coast to Coast

Recently, while ministering in Switzerland, I had a powerful vision of a move of God intensifying on the East Coast of the United States of America. In the vision I saw a huge wave hitting the coast, and instead of diminishing when it hit, it began to slowly swell and grow in size. It was made clear to me that this was a wave of healing that will be a catalyst for revival and outpouring in the land. I saw key areas along the coast being impacted first, but over time all of the East Coast was engulfed by the wave. (Photo via Wikimedia)

The states that were highlighted to me were Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In some of these I saw specific cities and even people I knew who were a part. For instance not mentioned above was New York but I specifically saw New York City being key, especially Long Island and Manhattan. Other cities of note were Boston, Harrisburg, Richmond, Raleigh, and Atlanta.

This wave will surpass previous moves of healing in the country, as it is not being carried out by one or even several men and women, but literally thousands of sons and daughters of the King. I saw people gathering in homes and in arenas to celebrate and witness the power of the Gospel and many were swept into the Kingdom as a result.

As I mentioned previously, instead of the wave diminishing when it hit the coast, it actually began to slowly swell and rise up over the land. At about this time I noticed a great wave already approaching from the West Coast as well, and California, Oregon and Washington were similarly engulfed. Both of these waves seemed to be moving towards each other and meeting over the center of our nation where I saw cities like Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Tulsa, Austin and Dallas being washed in the great tide of glory.

I felt I was being shown this to agree with the Holy Spirit and others for this to come to pass and also to encourage this generation of sons and daughters to step out with boldness and proclaim the truth of the Good News, expecting signs and wonders to follow. Freedom, healing and life will follow in the wake of the children of the King in this great hour. (Photo via Pixabay)

So this is a call to action for all who read this article: Awaken, Arise, Pray and Go in boldness believing that as you do, the Lord will surely stretch forth His hand to heal, and that signs and wonders will be done through the name of Jesus.

Winds and Wildfire by Brian Britton

Winds and Wildfire

Identity Network

 

Recently I was ministering in a local church in Campinas, Brazil with my good friend Mel Tari. While there, the pastor asked us if we saw anything in the Spirit regarding his church or if either of us had a word for the church. As we began to pray for the pastor and his church, I began to see an open vision. After returning home and further prayer, I believe what I saw is a word for the greater Body of Christ during this season. It is for this reason that I felt led to share this with you today.

 

I saw a beautiful young lady walking along a path and leaving the confines of a building and passing through a gate. As she walked, I noticed that she was holding in her right hand a small stick and that at the end of the stick was a fire. I became aware that the young lady represented the Bride of Christ or the church of this generation. This was not a torch she was carrying by any means, but rather a simple stick. Although the fire was small on the end of the stick, it was made known to me that it was the very fire of God. 

I could sense a hint of fear in the young lady as she was seeing the greatness of the land before her that she was venturing into. She felt as if the fire she carried was way too insignificant to be used to make much of a difference in the dark and thickly forested terrain before her. Beyond the forest were great cities and all she had was this simple little flame with which to fulfill her purpose and complete her given task.

 

Seeing the Wind

 

Then I looked with eyes of the Spirit and I saw the wind begin to blow. I was not just seeing the effects of the wind blowing but I could actually see the wind itself. It was the winds of heaven and I felt that it was the breath of God. I felt that God was showing me that He was breathing into the situation and life of the young lady…into the life of the Bride. The wind of the Spirit caught the flame of her little fire and proceeded to spread that flame with great speed. From this seemingly small source there was soon a mighty wildfire raging throughout the land. It began in the thick forest and spread into the cities beyond. With the power of the wind behind it, there was no stopping the spreading of what became a great and all consuming holy fire.

 

I believe that sometimes the church and many individuals often feel overwhelmed by the task of our generation and the callings on our lives. Maybe you too have felt that the challenges and obstacles before you seem too great? God speaks and gives us hope! I feel that God was showing us that no matter how small the fire that you carry may seem, that it is still the fire of God Himself, and that in this generation and hour He is breathing on the fire of the Bride. When the winds of heaven catch the fire that we carry there is nothing that can contain or stop the ensuing burn. 

His love is the flame and it is indeed the most powerful force in the Universe. It brings life to the people and things of God and destruction to the forces of darkness. As a carrier of His Holy Fire, be encouraged in this windy season! This is the season of the wildfire of revival and renewal that will cover the earth and continue to usher in this great harvest among our families, communities and the nations. As we leave the confines of church buildings and institutions and go with the good news of the Kingdom, He is faithful to bring increase. The winds are blowing and will continue to blow…Run with your flame and trust His Spirit to ignite the blaze!
