June 4-6, 2022 was Pentecost in the Hebrew Year 5782. Since those days, we have been in a Pentecost season in the spirit. God has been cleansing the nations with a baptism of fire. The heat is on and people are feeling it in a variety of ways. John said about Jesus in Matthew 3 that He would baptize us in the Holy Spirit and in fire, but he also said, Jesus had a winnowing fork in His hand to separate the wheat from the chaff. This is a direct connection to Malachi 4 which speaks of all the evil doers and arrogant that are chaff who are uprooted from the land. This is all Pentecost language and this is where we are right now in the spirit. We are undergoing a baptism of fire for the removing of all the chaff personally, corporately, nationally and internationally. If it feels hot, its because He is burning up all that is not needed for the next season…Tabernacles.
I was reading Acts 1 today and Luke says, Jesus gathered them together and commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father promised them (John 16), which He said, “You heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with he Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Within 10 days the fire of God fell in the upper room and baptized them with fire. Fire is both power and purification. We are in a baptism of fire right now. God is both releasing His power and He is purifying us in preparation for Rosh Hashannah 5783, which is in September 2022.
Isaiah 4 is a great description of where we are and what this fire baptism is producing right now. Remember since June 4-6, 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned, now hear Isaiah 4 “It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy. There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.” The spirit of burning and judgment is preparation for the glory. We are going to look back and praise God for the baptism of fire when this is all said and done.
