JFWC TOLC – “More… in 24” February Fire
“Remembering The Isaiah 55 Alignment”
The Heart of Father God ~ The Hand of Christ the Son (5-fold) ~
The ministry of Holy Spirit (House/Harvest)
4 Cornerstones for JFWC TOLC, our families, relationships & life
“God is Good” ~ God is good, so we’re required to dream big like our Heavenly Father. Ps. 34:8, Luke 12:32, 15, 1 Chr. 16:34, Nahum 1:7, Ps. 100:5, James 1:17
“Nothing is Impossible” ~ Nothing is impossible, so a huge part of our life is designed around taking risks. This is our faith in action. Matt. 19:26, Luke 1:37
“The Blood of Jesus paid for everything” ~ Everything we’ll ever need was dealt with at the cross, so we must come to a place of trusting Him in everything. Adoption, imputed righteousness, wholeness & healing, indwelling presence, power of the resurrection. Romans 3:25, Galatians 3:13-14
“We are significant” ~ God has made us each to be significant, so we must serve well. Sonship is married to a servant-hearted lifestyle. Ps. 8:3-6, 139:14-18, Eph. 1:1-14, 2:1-10, Gal. 3:26-4:7, 1Jn. 3:1-2, Ro. 8:19, Jn. 13:12-15 NASS, NLT, AMP, NKJV
Review~ “I have chosen you says the Lord” Haggai 2:23
“I’m All In, for the More of God in 24” the Exceedingly Abundantly! Eph. 3:20 AMP, NASS, NLT
“Fire & Rain” Golden Text 1 Kings 18 (highlight previous week’s notes as directed by HG)
Today ~ Fire & Rain for the Reign of God are hand in Hand
Golden Text 1 Kings 18:41-46 Ephesians 4:11-13,14-16
1. Have ears to hear what others cannot -
Immediately following God’s response from Heaven and the victory over Baal worship, there was something to be heard above the clamor and shouts of victory…the sound of healing & provision.
Elijah’s response to this prophetic sound was to take the posture he was familiar with and pray. P.U.S.H. Pray until something happens; is an action taken by those who know something more is coming.
Out from the SEA comes a Cloud the size of a man’s hand. “Go say to Ahab…” Then, in a little while…the heavens were black with clouds loaded with rain! Don’t misinterpret a heavy cloud of blessing for a storm of destruction in your life.
Here comes the RAIN! The Hand of The LORD was upon Elijah. Outrunning the idolator to the place where “God Sows” Jezreel. Both went to the same place. One under the power of Jehovah, the other
2. A Sea of humanity and the Hand of Christ –
From the sea of humanity, the Body of Christ, the sons, and daughters of God, comes the extended hand of Christ, our redeemer, to prepare and equip the saints. These saints, the Body of Christ, are given the work of the ministry. Eph. 4:12-13 This “Hand,” the Fivefold ministry, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher, as referred to by scripture, is the hand of Christ through the ministry of the Holy Spirit on earth, to edify the church, activate and equip the saints for their ministry on earth. The Hand reflects the unified yet specific expressions of the ministry of Christ.
3. The Clouds are full of Rain-
Way too often, we interpret the “dark, ominous clouds” as a coming storm of destruction. The Elijah spirit knows that they are heavy with the reservoir of heaven. Provision and LIFE. Knowing how to get up from the place of intercession and moving to the place where “God Sows” is crucial! After the voices of the false prophets are silenced in your ears and heart, look for the Hand of God. The hand of the Fivefold is a sign of the coming abundance of rain” Revival, Awakening, and the return to God! And the supernatural running to the entrance of where “God will sow” Jezreel. God’s hand is increasing the release of His Kingdom, it is pouring out as a deluge of “Rain” upon the earth (people). The Spirit of God covering the earth as the waters cover the sea! Prophecy coming to pass in our times. Habakkuk 2:14
4. His Hand and my hand –
1. Governs- Apostolic assignments, authority, action, answers, abilities -
2. Guides- Prophetic vision, insight, -
3. Gathers- Evangelistic unction and anointing, to reach the unbeliever's heart, and the unbelieving parts of the believers’ hearts, Sozo-
4. Guards- Pastoral gathering of the flock of God, growth, care, health, protection, maturing, reproducing, –
5. Grounds- Teacher discipleship, mentoring, wisdom & knowledge, understanding,
We observe that Elijah’s HUNGER (prayer) brought the HAND that meets needs (ministry). HEARING comes through Hand of ministry and brings the HARVEST of blessings and Abundance in our lives!
The Fivefold ministry hand of Christ Jesus is coming upon the earth and people. Activation for the harvest of all harvest. The Coming Storm is the rain for the seed sown by God (Jezreel) He waits for the precious fruit of the earth – James 5:7
Our life application in this Fire and Rain for the Reign of God-
Increase our time with God – Prayer - Worship – Word, while anticipating the Rain to come upon the seed, for the precious Harvest!
Rehearse The Words and directives you’ve been given, remember the promises of God and believe His Word-
Have ears to hear what others can’t because of your heart to hear the heart of God, and eyes to see the provision of God in the Cloud of His Presence-
Practice the Hand of God in your hand, in and for every expression of Life. Govern, Guide, Gather, Guard, Ground-
“The finished work of the Cross has made us the habitation of the Lord”
God is still responding to the hearts & voices of people. Today is the day to encounter the Love of God in the person of Christ Jesus. That the Love of God would fill you, your family, every relationship, and every area of life.
The Altar is open, and so are His arms and ours, Welcome Home!

The Apostles Creed ~
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy catholic Church, the Communion of saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.
