“The LORD spoke to me as I was doing some correction on some writing and said: “Joan of Arc Anointing.”

At first I thought He was referring to some words spoken to me at an earlier time. Then I heard, “There is a spirit of fire and burning going throughout the earth. The LORD is coming with vengeance against the enemy of your souls. He wants a pure and a spotless Bride.”

That week in our cell group, there was the manifest presence of Our Lord in the living room. Whenever someone would walk across this one area, which was hot on the rug to the touch, they would fall down in the Spirit and be overcome by the power of The LORD.

One woman had such burning and pain in her arms and body during the worship and meeting, it was uncomfortable.

I also remembered that when Jill Austin was in New Zealand, years ago, many people at the gathering, where there was such a powerful presence of GOD ALMIGHTY, had FELT their arms and legs burning as if they were on fire!

As I heard the words of the messenger, I remembered about the program on herbs and essential oils I had downloaded and read some of this week.

Essential oils can burn when rubbed into your skin due to greater potency. Herbs are more powerful to use as concentrated essential oil than taking pills that contain the same herbs according to the botanist.

They can even do harm if taken wrong or in conjunction with certain afflictions. I found this image enlightening when considering Esther and how she was rubbed with oil of myrrh for 6 months.

Myrrh is a purifying and preserving agent. Myrrh is useful in the treatment of yeast infection in the body. When you think how yeast, or leaven, in the bible is symbolic at times of PRIDE, then you begin to get the picture of
what God is doing right now in burning off the dross in our hearts.

God is crushing our pride and fears, etc. so that all control can be given over to Him. Pride and fear are what keeps control in place in our lives, The LORD once told me.

When we hold on to our pride, it can lead to delusion and strong deception, to a degree, where we are drawn into strong apostasy in the form of cultic beliefs.

Where a Church met that I went to, was formerly a center for a famous cult run by a woman who then moved all her followers to Montana. And one night in prayer a long time ago (they have 24 hour prayer ) I was sensing demons which had stayed around.

The LORD showed me some spirits had not fully left, and would leave during services, but then hang around at night, and on the grounds.

The LORD began to speak to me how the root of all the cults was in PRIDE. And pride had allowed these spirits to retain a measure of existence in this place till full repentance of what had gone on there had been completed.

When we have knowledge of spiritual things then we are responsible for teaching and praying when others have fallen into deception.

PRIDE was the key to the fall of many who thought their dreams and revelation could not be wrong; or they were better, or more accurate in their interpretation of those words, or the scriptures, than those around them to an extreme.

The greatest deception of all is to think you cannot be deceived! ~ Thank you Jack Deere!

Most often this pride is rooted in insecurity and lo self-esteem and is the kind of inferior pride that comes with childhood abuse, or neglect, and not being affirmed.

When people’s value as human beings is overlooked, through selfish self-centeredness from parents who were victims, or victims of victims, then they need a lot of affirmation in order for the trust in God and others to be restored.

It takes A LOT of unconditional LOVE to break the back of such insecurity!

God’s of course being the most powerful, but we also need to have love for the unlovely. Many sheep have been treated like so much flotsam or jetsam by the Church; thrown overboard when those over them had not the heart or knowledge, or patience to deal with their problems.

Too many times we in the Church have been too judgmental and critical of those who are very different because of their wounds.

I remember a story about Rees Howells, the famous intercessor and how God required him once to befriend the town drunk. He was NOT to preach to him, or push him into Church.

He was told by The LORD to just be his friend. He did just that for 3 years before the fellow began to attend one of his bible studies.

That impressed me. Most in the Church would not be able to do that!

Just being a friend, means loving someone, where they are at unconditionally. Therefore God HAS to DO SOMETHING to change our hearts.

I know my own had been being exposed then to the point of such pain, that I couldn’t help but cry and weep to see what a miserable failure I had been compared to HIS glory and His love. It is so painful to have our heart exposed but it is essential to death to self.

But if we are too prideful to submit to the process God is working into us we may be at greater loss. What is the saying…”No pain, no gain.” We must endure the fellowship of His sufferings, if we want to share in His glory.

THAT IS HIS WORD! So then then the voice of God continued…

“If burning is what your heart is yearning, then come to the place where healing is born. Come to the fire of His Presence, and know the LOVE his heart dispenses.

One can never share the glory with the King whose heart embraces more than our mind can understand.

Can’t you see the specks of gold are only a feeble taste of His glory compared to His Presence?”

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard what is prepared for those who love Him…. One of the first bible studies The LORD had me do when I became so ill years ago, was on suffering, persecution and affliction.

I thought it strange that I would have to suffer so much pain, yet Church leaders were saying I didn’t have to suffer, and there must be something WRONG with me if I am suffering.

I know that God heals and it is His desire to do so.

God corrected that doctrine of demons quickly, as I read all the scriptures related to suffering. There was Epaphroditis who was SICK almost unto death, for the sake of the gospel Paul said.

Then I was thinking about a conversation with a friend about fuller’s soap I had had, and had looked that up…. The scripture where it is found is Malachi 3:2-3 NKJV

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears ?
For He is like a refiner’s fire and a fuller’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will PURIFY the sons of LEVI, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to The LORD an offering in righteousness.”

Fuller’s soap is a Natural lye extracted from Asiatic soap plants which are reduced by BURNING to produce a pasty mass used as a bleach, especially in the presence of olive oil.

Look at the above in light of the symbolism…. olive oil represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit, could it be we are the plants that are being burned by the fire of His presence to produce a bleach?

Did you know histologically…. bleach KILLS everything in the way of germs? It kills bacteria, viruses, and parasites, just about everything.

Likewise His Fire in us will be used to kill off our enemies spiritually.

FULLER’S SOAP :- “Figurative. The powerful cleansing properties of borit, or soap, are employed by the prophet Malachi (Malachi 3:2; NIV, “launderer’s soap”) to represent the prospective results of the Messiah’s coming (cf. Mark 9:3).”
(From The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois.
Copyright (c) 1988.)

“FULLER :- kobees, from kaabas “to tread.” The fuller’s chief work was cleansing and whitening garments for festive and religious occasions. The white garment typifies Christ’s spotless righteousness, put on the saints. Revelation 3:4-5,18; 6:11; 7:9,14; Ecclesiastes 9:8, “let thy garments be always white”; the present, even if gloomy, should never rob saints of the festive joyousness of spirit which faith bestows, in consciousness of peace with God now, and in the prospect of glory for ever. Fulling or cleansing cloth was effected by stamping on the garments with the feet or bats in tubs of water containing some alkaline dissolved. The alkaline substances mentioned are “soap” and “nitre” (Proverbs 25:20; Jeremiah 2:22), a potash which mixed with oil was used as soap. Malachi 3:2, “fullers’ soap.”
Job 9:30, “if I make my hands never so clean,” translated, “if I cleanse my hands with lye.”
Carbonate of potash is obtained impure from burning plants, especially the kali (from whence, with the Arabic al the article, comes the word “alkali “) of Egypt and Arabia.
…The Mishna mentions also urine and chalk used in fullers’ cleansing.
This may have suggested the indelicate filthy sneer of Rabshakeh to Hezekiah’s messengers in “the highway of the fullers’ field”
(2 Kings 18:27). The trade was relegated to the outside of Jerusalem, to avoid the offensive smells. Chalk, or earth of some kind, was used to whiten garments. Christ’s garments at the transfiguration became “shining” white “as no fuller on earth could whiten them” (Mark 9:3). Christ’s mission, including both the first and second advents, is compared to “fuller’s soap” in respect to the judicial process now secretly going on, hereafter to be publicly consummated at the second advent, whereby the unclean are separated from the clean.”
(from Fausset’s Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft)

So I asked The LORD, “What does all this have to do with Joan of ARC?”

Joan was a woman like Deborah, who went when men who could wouldn’t do anything about the injustice and destruction of their land until she led them like Deborah.

FIRE was used as a signal in WAR. FIRE was a sign in many miracles, like with Gideon and Elijah. And God
is our All-Consuming Fire !

In Joan of Arc, the made for television movie, she was called forth at a time when the overlords had no care for the needs of the people.

She was a sort of Robin Hood, without the thievery methods. She was a BRAVEHEART! She followed her vision to the DEATH. (I received this in 2000)

There are overlords in this country who are out of touch with the people. We are disposable extras to the New World Order.

Our news and political people say we are doing well. All is well with the economy, but they are liars and thieves, and they are more concerned with their own welfare than ours like much of big business.

Yes, there are SOME who care but they are precious few. God is about to change all that.

Joan of Arc in a sense is like the female Gideon. She was just a peasant girl, going about her own
daily life.

God spoke to her through saints I believe, as it was something she could relate to without fear, and was aligned with her own belief system of the Church, at that time. {So please don’t send me mail about Catholics! }

If that is all you know, God will work with that. It’s simple. He speaks to all of us in words and ways that are familiar to us, or that we can relate to from past experiences.

He is still doing that with Catholics, as He knows how best to reach them.

Look then at the following scriptures in MALACHI.

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears?
For He is like a refiner’s fire And like fuller’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to The LORD an offering in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to The LORD, as in the days of old, as in former years. And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness AGAINST
SORCERERS, AGAINST ADULTERERS, AGAINST PERJURORS, against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, and against those who turn away an alien, because they do not fear Me,” Says The LORD of Hosts,” Malachi 3:2-5 NKJ.

“For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says The LORD of hosts, “That will leave them neither root nor branch. But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; and you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, ” Says The LORD of hosts,” Malachi 4:1-3 NKJV.

Then look at the use of horse in Zechariah

“For The LORD of hosts will visit His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His royal horse in the battle,” Zechariah 10:3 NKJ.

Again in Joel.the coming army and the fire and the horse image.

“A great people and strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, {mountains stand for authorities — false or true } like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble.
Then The LORD spoke to me “SOUND THE WARNING! SOUND THE ALARM! For The LORD is coming in judgment upon the earth, but first to the house of The LORD!” Joel 2:2-5 KJV.

Then words from Amos 2:6-7 KJV

“Thus saith The LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name…”

and Amos 2:11-12,

“And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel saith The LORD. But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not!”

and Amos 3:6-8,

“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? But he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The LORD GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy!”
