The burning has been painful and some of us have suffered great loss. Many of us answered the call, and as we came, He burned away our fleshly attitudes and actions the things in our lives that were not in line with His love and holiness. He was inviting us to come and meet with Him in the fire. In September 2020, I started to get a recurring vision of the Lord as “the Burning One” (see Heb. Many of us experienced that we were in an upper room time as we fasted, prayed, and waited upon the Lord to show us what to do next.
