Eyes of Fire

My beloved, I see you. You captivate Me. I desire to increase the intensity of My gaze. Will you come into greater levels of exposure before Me? Be brave, be vulnerable. My eyes of love are also eyes of fire, ready to penetrate your innermost being with power and life. Step closer, feel the heat, remove all veils, and let down your guard. For in this proximity, My eyes will burn impurities off you; they will burn off the things that you are carrying that I have not asked; they will burn off the passions that have dampened your resolve for obedience; they will burn off the distractions that slow you down. Through repentance, I will burn off the sin that has felt like it has consumed you and see it no longer. But beloved, you must come willingly, soft-heartedly, and with a desire for Me to see every part of you.

After the burning what will remain? The gold. What you have built for eternity for My kingdom will remain strong and refined. You will stand purified, strengthened, and holy as a beacon of My grace and mercy, as one who can release hunger for holiness into My bride. You will stand in a place of greater authority and influence; whatever I overcome in you will become a sharpened sword in your hand, an area where the enemy will recognise your victory and fear you.

But My beloved, even greater than this, will be the unhindered intimacy that you will step into, deeper than you have ever experienced as you become aware of how fully known and fully loved you are.

Prayer:

Jesus, I come close. I am hungry for more of You, and I long to be vulnerable and exposed in Your presence. I relinquish the veils before me, even the ones I am not aware of. Jesus, purify me in Your gaze; burn off what should not be there. I long to stand before You completely surrendered, transformed by Your fire, and empowered by Your presence in me. You are my strength, and You equip me for battle.

Psalm 18:31-32 (ESV)

For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?— the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.

Revelation 1:14-15 (ESV)

The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

1 Corinthians 3:14-15 (ESV)

If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
