Entering 4 Years Of 'Fire & Glory' | Pastor Craig…

This is not a traditional sermon, it's a vision casting message. And I have a real hopping sermon that I wanted to share with you, but the Lord said, no, I want you to cast vision today. It's the first day of the year, you cast the vision. And so I said, okay Lord, I'm at your beck and call. And so I think you're going to enjoy it. But it's just a little bit of a different flow. And I want you to understand some things that are going to happen. I want you to understand some things that God has spoken and he's adding some things. Thank God for the Holy Ghost because he's adding stuff and he's making stuff more clear to me. And thank you for your prayers because the more you pray, the more it becomes clear. And so I'm going to just go back just for simplicity's sake because some of you may be new, you may not know or you may have forgotten, but we've been on a bit of a journey. January 17, 2017. At 2am in the morning, God walked into our living room. Jenny and I were up and we were praying and the Lord Jesus, I didn't see him, but I'm telling you, he or an angel or somebody, but it was overwhelming, walked in. Do you remember that, Jenny? That presence of God filled our living room. I mean tangible, manifested presence. And God started to speak to us and he spoke to me separately and my wife and then together and she went off to bed and I stayed there until about 5, 6 in the morning, the morning. And we had a visitation from God. It marked us. And in that God started to talk to me about the David symbolism and about the Elisha symbolism. And that's where it all started. And he said to me, he said, you're in your ziglag years, but you're coming into your Hebron years. He was in ziglag then he moved to Hebron. He started as a king in Hebron with a special anointing, a kingly anointing. He was there seven and a half years and then he went to Jerusalem in. I'm giving you very brief over overviews because we don't have time for too many specifics. But in Hebron you don't find one mention of David engaging in nations. Everything was internal. There is, there is, you know, Judah and Israel. There is, you know, different tribes that he is over some, Saul is over others and, and there's a lot going on internally in the Hebron years. He's a new king. He has not established the kingdom under his own control fully. And there's a lot of internal stuff. God is working stuff out and there's many sub points, but for sake of time, we won't get into that. I'm just saying it was an internal thing. Then when he hits his Jerusalem years, which he was seven and a half years, and then he was 33 and a half years in Jerusalem because he reigned 40 years, which in God's eyes was a perfect reign, was 40 years was the perfect number for him. It's a generation. And so he. For 33 and a half years he was in Jerusalem. As soon as he went to the Jerusalem years, he became exposed to the world and nations started to attack him. And he started. And there was just a lot of international stuff that happened. But for seven and a half years, it was very. It was almost like he was hidden. It's like he was in privacy. And so the Lord said to me on January 17, 2017, he said, I'm going to show you a timeline that is going to lead you up to your Hebron years. You're going to leave Ziglag, you're going to get into Hebron, and then I'm going to show you when you're going to step into your Jerusalem years. And so he said, the bigger picture is the David thing. But now a lot of more specifics is with Elisha. He said, turn in your Bible, don't turn your Bible. But he said to me, I'm going to show you what Elisha did. And so that. And he said, this first year, 2017, he said, is your Bethel year. Because remember when Elijah was with Elijah and he was getting ready to go in the whirlwind, he said, I'm going to stay with you. The Lord lives and so lives. I won't leave you. And he said, no, you stay here. He said, I'm not leaving you. And he went on a journey with Elijah to three stops and he went to Bethel. And I won't get into all the symbolism, but in 2017, there was symbolism of Bethel that applied to that year. And it happened exactly as I said it, because it was by prophecy. Then he went to Jericho, 2018, the Lord said, that will be your Jericho year. And there was symbolism that applied and it happened exactly as God told me. I'm just saying because I want you to know when God says it to me, if there's no track record of it coming to pass, then you shouldn't listen to me. But there is a track record. In fact, it's a Perfect track record because I didn't come up with it. God said it to me. I'm just repeating it and bringing my faith to it. Then in 19, it was a Jordan year. That's where they went to Jordan, at the River Jordan. And there was symbolism that applied to that. And I preached a lot about that. And each of these years I preached about what that symbolism was. It happened exactly as God told me. Then in 2020, he comes to the plain of Jordan. This is where Elijah goes. The mantle comes. The Lord said that anointing, that Dr. Dufresne, part of that anointing came when Dr. Dufresne was here, but part of it for the apostles office, the higher office, the higher work is coming because you're not just a pastor, you're also to go around the world. And he said, that's going to come in 2020. And if you remember, 2020 was Covid. There was a lot of crazy stuff that happened and there was a lot of distractions. And just like that fiery chariot came as a distraction. And he said, you keep your eye. And I did. And I did that 40 day fast. Water only. Jesus. And on the 30th day, I was paralyzed. Some of you don't know that. My whole left side went. I was a paralytic. I couldn't lift my arm, I couldn't move my leg. And my wife said, we need to rush you to the hospital. And I said, jesus, what's going on? And he answered me, he said, you're not me. I said, you fasted 40 days with nothing but water. He said, and you're not me. What? He said, son, you got to take something. So I realized the doctor called, I went to the doctor and the doctor said, if you don't have magnesium, potassium and sodium, you will. The stuff, your muscles, they don't respond to the brain waves. And so they gave me a massive dose. I didn't eat anything. I was still. But they gave me a massive dose, liquids of, of potassium, sodium and magnesium. And within three hours, that paralysis left. And so that was the last 10 days. I was on those supplements, but I was still not eating anything. It was just drinking. And then of course, on that 40th day, December 12, 2020, that anointing came. Jesus walked in the room. Two angels walked in the room. I've shared that story. And that anointing came. Are you with me? We entered our Hebron years at that moment because he said, you're sitting down on some things. Like David sat down on that throne and he said, so now the clock starts for the Hebron year. Ziglag ended. At the end of 2020, Hebron started. I just want you to know, like a lot of churches, they just don't really know what's going on. It's important that we know what's going on in the realm of the Spirit, because we're not just a church. God set this church, and there's a divine plan for us. And I've got to hear right? So he said, ziglag ends. And now. So there's two timelines happening simultaneously. Elisha's and David's. Are you with me? And now that Hebron season began. So then he said, now, even though you've got seven and a half years, 21, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and, you know, half of eight, that's seven and a half years. Do you understand? He said, now, even though that timeline continues, you're in Hebron now for the next while. But he said, watch the Elisha timeline, because I'm going to still talk to you through that. And so in 2021, 2020 was the plain of Jordan. We're following the footsteps of Elisha. He said, 21, you're going back to Jordan. And he said, the waters are going to part. Revelations are going to come. Pastor Nancy doesn't know any of this. I don't tell her any of this. She prophesied to me on a minister's master class. She stopped the class and began to prophesy to me. And I don't know who was watching, but. And she said, this year, God's going to open up the waters. Revelation to you. She didn't know nothing about the waters parting. And that year, I got so much revelation, I almost couldn't. I wrote almost every day. I mean, it was astonishing. There was obstacles, there was. Everything that God said would happen in 21 happened exactly as he said it. Then in 22, he said, this is your Jericho. You remember if you follow the footsteps of Elisha. After he got that mantle, he went back to Jordan. He retraced the steps of his father. He went back to Jericho. He. There was symbolism. God said, this is what's going to be in 2020. 2022. It was exactly as he said. Then he said, now go to Bethel if you follow. He retraced the steps back to Bethel. Elisha did. And that's when the children came out and mocked him. The 42. And he called the two she bearers out. Remember, he cursed them. And there was a lot of stuff exactly what he said to me. What happened in 23 happened. I mean, it is almost uncanny. I'm serious. It's like having a crystal ball. But that's demonic. We've got the Holy Ghost, and he shows us things that are going to happen. Then the story ends. And I think, okay, we're done now. I don't know what God's going to do. And he said, watch the last verse. I don't have time to read it all. Or I would read it all to you, but it would take too long. And after he had been at Bethel and called out those bears. He didn't call them out, but the bears came. He cursed the kids. After that happened, it says, and he went to Mount Carmel. And then no more is said about Elisha from that perspective. But he was retracing the steps of his father because his father had been in Mount Carmel. Now the Lord said to me, the Elisha timeline ends, but it continues. Pick it up with the Elijah timeline. So go now back. It's our future. But you're going back into previous scriptures. Do you understand? But God can do it that way if he wants. And he said, now watch what Elijah did. So that was 21, 22, 23. Now we're Mark Carmel 24. And he said, repair and build the altar. Do you remember there was a lot of stuff that was out of order in this church, in the staff, in different things. He said, you better fix that. And then he said, not just repair it, but build. He talked to me a lot about changing my life, changing the way I run my life and what my focuses are on to make my life an altar. And we did that in 24. I mean, it was a hard year, but I'm telling you, we worked hard. Then he said, Now, 25. Five days ago, it ended. He said, it's the year of digging the. What do you call it? The trench, and pouring the water of prayer. He said, it's a year of an emphasis of prayer. And so we have done that. An increased emphasis privately. I don't know if you've been doing it, but we've been doing it privately. And there's been an increase. It's a preparation. Pouring that water, waiting for fire. Are you with me? Then he said, 26. That's what we're in now. He said, it's the year of fire. This is when, after he had done all the preparation and all those stupid demonic priests had done their nonsense. And then he says, father, he calls upon God and he lets the people come near he said, if God is for me, this is what's going to happen, and you can trust me. If God demonstrates and God pours out fire from heaven, my God. And so he said, fire is coming. Now, I don't fully know what this means, congregation, because a lot of the time God will say things to me, but he won't fully explain it until it starts to unfold. He just said to me, it was a year of prayer with the water represented prayer. Now it's a year of fire. He said, I'm going to pour out fire. Now, my wife not even really remembering that because this was at the beginning. This was a year ago. At the very beginning of 25, she was praying. She's in the year of prayer. She's not thinking about fire, she's thinking about prayer. And the Lord said to her, next year, 26, I'm going to pour my fire out upon him. Now, that was a very dramatic experience that she had with God. That wasn't just a little something. That was a dramatic thing where God came in the room where she was and he said, pray for next year will be a year of fire. And I've already. I already knew that, but I hadn't really talked to her about it. So she's getting that from the Holy Ghost, not even knowing fully what I had really understood. So that's too confident. That's another confirmation to me that he said, I'm pouring out. I don't know what fully that means, guys, but I'm telling you, he said, I'm pouring out fire this year. And I know fire represents a measure of acceleration. It's the miracle power. It's something dramatic. And what did Randy prophesy when he was here in early December? Acceleration. What did Dr. Winston say privately? Not publicly. Both times in May and November, he said, you're behind. God's about to accelerate you. God's about to accelerate you. What is he talking about? He's talking about 2026. What is Randy talking about? 2026. They don't know what God has said because I don't tell them. But God is confirming through prophets that I'm hearing. Right? Are you with me? So he said, 2026 is a year of fire. We're still on the Elijah timeline. Are you with me? Now I'm going to give you some insight into what's going to happen if we're faithful with this year, and we will be. And prayer doesn't stop. It continues. It's just the emphasis is that there's going to be some kind of demonstration in our lives. So you need to put your faith on that. You need to start saying, this is my year of fire. God is going to demonstrate himself for me. There's going to be acceleration. There's going to be dramatic measures of power that happen in my life. Start saying it if you want it, because if you don't want it, you don't have to have it. But we're going to have it corporately because I'm saying it, and I'm having it personally because I'm saying it. Then if you follow Elijah, when that happened, he put the prophets to death. And then he goes up to the top of the mountain and he begins, Mount Carmel. I've stood there, right there where it happened. And he started to pray. And the Lord said, In 2027, just follow me. Don't disconnect. In 2027, the Lord said. He said to me, In 25, prayer started. Then there's a measure of prayer, a measure of power. That's how he said it to me. In 26, he said, in 27, a full measure of intercession is coming that you've never experienced before. And he said some things I'm not permitted to say yet, but I'll tell you closer to the time. But he showed me some stuff that's going to happen in 27 in People's Prayer lives that you've never, ever experienced before. And God's going to do it. I mean, he's almost going to do it just sovereignly because he told me he's going to do it because that's required. Birthing is required. He was on the mountaintop with his head between his knees. He was birthing the rain. That's 27. It's coming. Then we're less than a year away from that. Then he said, In 28, it's going to be dramatic acceleration. Now watch. Watch the parallels. He said, 25 is a measure of prayer. 26 is a measure of acceleration or power demonstrated by fire. 27 is a full measure of prayer. And 28 is a full measure of power. And that acceleration, as he comes down off the prayer and he girds up his loins and he runs faster than the cherry up. I mean, talk about dramatic. Are you with me? So that is 28, dramatic acceleration. Now he goes into a place called Samaria. Now, the Elijah timeline ends because nothing more is said about that, but he goes into Samaria. Samaria is where Jezebel lived. It's where Ahab lived. It was a sinful City. It was not really part of the group of tribes the same way that the other areas were. It is its own place. It's a dark place. And it represents symbolically in the Old Testament, the world. It does not represent saints. It represents the world. So Elijah runs. Divine acceleration pushes him right into the camp of the devil. Are you with me? You're not upset? Now watch the mastery of God. 25, 26, fire. 27, increased prayer. 28, increased acceleration. 29, the world, the Hebron timeline. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 is the half year he was in Hebron. Seven and a half. It's very specific. So in 2028, which is our acceleration on the Elijah timeline, that year is the year we step into Jerusalem, because Hebron ends and Jerusalem begins. But it's only the entering. If you read it, he entered, he ran toward, and just basically got to the gate of Samaria. Now, the next year represents him being fully in Samaria. Do you understand, David? This 2028, this half year is where we're. We're in this acceleration, this running phase, and we're headed toward the world. Now, if you want to look at it exactly seven and a half, then in July, something. But I mean, I don't know how specific God is. And Even though it's seven and a half, we know that 2028, at least half of it is still getting toward our Jerusalem. Whether you look at it like we step in halfway or the. The first full year really is 29. Do you understand where we're now in our Jerusalem, like our full year of Jerusalem phase. What is that? This is where it's going to be, the world. I'm telling you, God already told me, he said, don't even think about television before that. It won't happen because television is to the world. When I say the world, I mean outside the four walls of this church. Radio is. But it's a preparation and faith for television. But it's not really the world. Now, David, now, so. So listen, he comes and he faces Jezebel, he faces attack. You with me now, David starts in this New Jerusalem thing. And immediately the Philistines start attacking persecution. Listen closely to your pastor. Persecution starts happening, but the power of God also starts happening. And David starts winning on every front. And the Lord said, now in 29, as a full year, it starts a little bit halfway through 28, but the first full year of your Jerusalem, of your Samaria, of your world, more world impact, which includes persecution. He's told me persecution is coming. I don't like that. And I don't know what he means, but I do know that he delivers every time. He delivered David and he delivered Elijah. Elijah just got depressed because he didn't have a renewed mind, wanted to get. Wanted to die, but God still delivered him. He just didn't think right. David thought right, and he didn't have those problems. But he said, persecution is coming. He said, but I will deliver you from it. Because anytime you become on the world stage and devils start taking. Devils in human form start taking notice, they don't like what you say because they hate Jesus. And he said, get ready, it's coming. But I'll deliver you and I'll prepare you before you get into it. And he said, that's 20, 29. It's the Samaria season, the full year. It's the Jerusalem season, the first full year. And he said, but with that persecution is going to come my glory. And I believe it's going to be the beginnings of the last day move of God. I'm not saying it's connected like, we're not running that. I'm just saying God in his mastery all over the planet is getting people into the last day move of God to receive the return of Jesus. And I believe as we step into this world stage stage, the first full year of 29, it's going to include some persecution, but there's going to be great glory to it. And it's going to lead up to however many more years, that is until the return of the Lord Jesus. Are you following me with the timeline? Because it's very important, like, for God to take all these years and not only say it, but then tweak it and then show me and then give me details and let me really. It's really in me. You need to understand where we're going as a church and you understand that what this year represents now we will surely overtake and without fail recover all because that's a secondary word specifically for this year. But the big word for this year is it's a year of fire. God is going to start to demonstrate himself in this church when I travel internationally and in your life personally, if you'll believe it. And he is going to demonstrate himself in a more of a dramatic way than he normally has in the past. And if you want it, you need to reach out your faith and take it because it's available and these years are coming and the timelines match perfectly. You still with me? So 25, 25 measure of prayer 26, measure of power 27, full measure of prayer 28, full measure of power, 29. I don't know what's going to happen, but it's going to be big because the world's going to start taking notice. Hallelujah. Now, let me keep going. I'm going to go a bit past 12, but not much. So just be patient with me because this is important. The Lord said to me recently, listen now closely. Pause everything I've just said and just listen now closely. He said to me just two weeks ago, you're starting in January 26th. You're starting another timeline that I haven't told you about, but it's still within the bigger timeline. God is so multi leveled. And he said, you have a window of four years. Four years, 26, 27, 28, 29. Now what I've just explained to you, you know what's happening in 26, 7, 8 and 9. But he said this to me and he's very particular about decades. He said things in your life and your anointing and your ministry, I've held back in your 40s, you can't step into them until you're 50. And that's just happened. This is my jubilee year. He said, now you're stepping into some things corporately and individually, but you're stepping into some things because these timelines, everything I've told you. And there's another one, the Samaria timeline, I don't have time to get it into right now, but I'll tell you maybe the next time I'm with you, because it also matches perfectly with three basic timelines. Elisha, Elijah, David and Samaria. But Samaria is not the Samaria that I've just explained. It's the other one where he said, tomorrow about this time, bread will be a penny a loaf. Do you remember that kind of famine, Samaria? There's a timeline on that, but I won't get into that. But it matches perfectly with the other two. So the Lord said, these timelines, I'm only notice. He said, I'm only talking to you up to 29 because it's the end of the decade. He said, In 30, something totally different. And he hasn't told me what that's going to be. But I know we're in the world and I know it's going to be big. But he said, I'm talking you up to the end of the decade because I work in decades. Dr. Dufresne said that all the time. God works in decades. Dad Hagin said that all the time, God works in decades. Kenneth Copeland says that all the time God works in decades. So he said, your main three timelines go through to 29. He said, I'm giving you another level on this. Nothing's changed. I'm just giving you more. So you've got four more years in this season of this decade. And he said, listen closely. He said, I want there to be some changes in your church. I want you to put an emphasis. And he said a phrase. He said, the next four years, I want them to be marked by fire and glory. And he has said that over and over and over to me and to my wife. These years, as you continue, these timelines are marked by fire and glory. Now, there's many symbols in the Bible, but remember John the Baptist, who was baptizing in water, and water is a wonderful symbol. But he said, I baptize you in water. But he that comes after me, whose shoelace I'm not worthy to unloose, he will baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. In other words, that's a higher level. The New Testament is marked by fire, and the Old Testament is marked in many ways by fire. And our logo is the rock of Gideon. And the fire came out from within the rock. And my international logo with the globe and the sword and a fire in that sword. God is using this symbol of fire in all of our identities and brandings. But he has gone further. And he said, the next four years, which completes these timelines, they're four years of fire. And he said, I want you to emphasize fire. And they're four years of fire and glory. And I said, lord, what do you mean by that? He said, because as my fire starts to move, it brings my glory. And he said, where are you going, son? And I said, we're going to the glory center. He said, yes, you are, but it must.
B
But you get to the glory.
A
You've got to. You got to step into my fire. Now, the fire, you could look at the same as the glory. But the way he showed it to me was, fire is a preparation for the glory. Fire gets you into the glory. The fire of God has to move in order for the glory of God to show up. And fire represents many things. It can be a fire in your own life getting the dross and the garbage out. It can also be miracles, signs and wonders as confirmation. Fire has many things, and we'll talk about that as the year goes on. But I'm just giving you the umbrella bigger picture. He Said, the next four years are marked. And he said, I want you to call them fire and glory years. I said, but Lord, the glory is not yet. He said, you are saying it. You are saying it because if you're going to see it, you've got to start saying it now. These are years for fire to be demonstrated, but you've got to include the word glory because the glory is coming and you'll have what you say. So he said, it's fire and glory. Now listen to me. This is very radical and I know that a lot of people don't understand it, but I'm telling you what he said. He said, it's very important that your church is one with this vision. And I said, well, Lord, there'll be one. He said, yes, but even things like naming other groups within the church, I don't want that anymore. I said, but Lord, does that really matter? Like recharge, what's the big deal? And he said, you're not looking at it the way I look at it. This is such an important sacred, holy thing to me. I want every person from the baby to the 95 year old, if there is anybody that old, I want every person in the church to think the same thing, believe the same thing, say the same thing, pray the same thing, expect the same thing. And this is years of fire and glory. So he said, there's no more individual names. It is fire and glory kids. It is fire and glory. Youth. It is fire and glory. Young adults, if there's some other group that we form, it's fire and glory that and God has taken. He said, there's nothing wrong with individuality. He said, but I'm removing that because you're no longer in a season to every person have their own vision, know that that's not wrong and it's not been wrong. But he said that say is over. There is one vision and there's one mind, one word, one spoken thing, one, one group, although many groups. Everything is fire and glory. That's what he said to me. He said, so I want everybody. That's what we're calling these four years. We've been in the timeline since 2017.
B
But the last four years is the kicker.
A
And we're five, four days into it.
B
The last four years is the big show and we're four days into it.
A
Not that the other years have not been important, but. But I'm telling you, he said, and I didn't go to. I didn't make this up. He came to me, he said, the last four years of this timeline to 29. It's fire and glory, son, Glory. So it's going to be in our Logos, it's going to be our names, it's going to be on our lips, it's going to be in our prayers, it's in our confession. Are you with me? We got four years before the next decade. And I'm telling you, I could be wrong. Part of me wants to be wrong because there's so much I want to do for Jesus. There's so many souls we need to get saved. I don't want him to come. But on the other hand, I hate this world so much. The devil, not the people. I want to go so bad. I want him to come before I end this sermon, if I could, because then my troubles are over. So I have to say, come quickly, Lord Jesus, because I desperately want him to come. But a part of me says, don't come quickly, Lord. We got too much to do. I don't know when he's coming, but I have a strong sense it will be in the 30s. Most ministers I know that I talk to, they don't know, nobody knows. But we all have a strong sense it's going to be in the 30s. I don't know one minister that thinks it's going to be in the 40s. Now, that could be God could tarry. God's God. I'm not. One thing I know is I'm not God, and neither is Jenny. Those are the only two things I know. But I know that Jesus is coming soon. It could even be in the 20s. But I have a sense it's going to be in the 30s. But I could be wrong. I'm just saying he's only given me four years. He said, end this season, this timeline from 2017 to 2029. He said, end the last four years with a bang, son. You're not going slow, you're going fast. You're not looking down, you're looking up, you're not jogging, you're running. End these four years with a blast because this is the years of fire and glory. And the fire is going to lead to the glory. And he hasn't told me. He won't. I know him. He's not telling me right now on purpose, but he said, in the 30s, there's going to be something totally different. It's the glory of God. I'm telling you, it's the glory of God. But he said, and these. You sense what I'm saying? I said, I'll do it, Lord. Four years, fire and glory. I'll tell him. And then he said something and I'll end with this. He said, I want you to have images in front of the people's eyes. I want them to see it every time that he said that to me. Because I've never done this in 17 years of pastoring. So some pastors do this every year as their tradition. I've never done it once. So I wouldn't do this unless he told me to. He said, put images before the people's eyes. Let them see the fire, let them imagine the fire, let them speak about the fire. Because these four years have to end with a blast. So I said, lord, what are the images? And he said, well, you already know the first image. He said, the first image is the fire of God that I poured out upon the altar of Elijah. Because last year was the trough and the waters of prayer and this year is the fire. So he said, you know, the first year, this is the fire. And what does it represent? A measure of acceleration, a measure of power. Do you understand? And so I have had some banners made. We tried to do the best we could. Sometimes the printing doesn't always work exactly as I thought it would, but I would still say they're a 9 point something out of 10 in terms of how I wanted it to look. And so I've asked these guys, we put it up on the back, on the left and on the right, and they're going to be on the screens. And I want. This is our image for this year. This is the year he's pouring fire. So let us see that, boys, please. There's one at the back, there's one at the left. They're on the screens. I looked at a lot of images of supposed Elijah's, and when I saw this image, you can see like rays lightly in the background. That represents glory. I'm trying to think of what Elijah must have looked like. The Bible said that he was hairy and that Elisha was bald. So this guy has hair. And I don't know what that altar would have looked like. I know it was up on Mount Carmel, but when I saw that image, that's the only image that seemed to impact me to say, wow, it might have looked something like that. And the Lord said, put the image before the people. I want them to see this every time they come to church. I want you to be in unity. You've always been in unity, but you've never been in this level of unity. Now I'm not going to show you the image right now, because I got to save something or you won't come back to church next year. But I'm going to tell you what it is because God told me, look at the mastery of God. He said, there's three other images of fire. You're going to put it up. One in 27, one in 28, and one in 29. And when he told me what the. And he told me which year, each image, and when he told me the image, he. He said, now this image is because it applies to the timeline. So in 26, it's the year of fire. He's outpouring it. We know that's Elijah because we're in the Elijah timeline. What's the next year? He goes up to the mountain, he puts his head, and he begins to pray. It's a year of increased measure of prayer and intercession because of what's going to come. And the Lord said, that image, and I'm not going to show it to you, but that image for 27, he said, I want you to to have an image of Moses before the burning bush, because Moses saw fire. And he said, what is this great sight? Let me turn aside from my sheep and go and investigate. And the Bible says when God saw, he took the time to look at it. Then God said, moses, this is holy ground. Take your shoes off. Remember, God didn't say nothing until he took time to come and stare at that fire. And that Pastor Nancy's always said, she's always used that analogy of Moses and the burning bush by saying, we're all so busy, we need to turn aside from our sheep and our jobs and all of our stuff and go and wait before God so he can speak. And the Lord said, the mountaintop is a year of increased turning aside, waiting on me, putting your head between your knees, birthing and praying. It's a year you've got to stand before me and pray. He said, so put the burning bush up for the people. Then he said, In 2020, that's seven. 2028, that's the big year. That is where there was dramatic acceleration when he ran past the chariots. Okay, this is 2028 is when David is basically stepping into the very early season of halfway through of his Jerusalem years. It's a very important year. And the Lord said, I want you to put up an image of the apostles and the disciples, the 120 in the upper room with cloven tongues of fire upon their heads. And I said, lord, what does that mean? And he said, because the Fire came on them and the whole church and dramatically accelerated. 3000 got saved the one day, thousands the next week. If you read the Bible, the church.
B
Grew exponentially by divine acceleration.
A
And it all started with cloven tongues of fire. He said that divine acceleration is going to be illustrated by the fire of the day of Pentecost. I said, okay, Lord. And I said, lord, what's the last one? Because this is 29. This is the world. You've already told me. David's had persecution. Elijah had persecution from Jezebel. What the heck is going to be that one? And he spoke to me. He said, I want you to put up a picture of the four. Not the three, but the four in the fiery furnace. Now, do you remember about three months ago, the Spirit of God came on me on a Wednesday night and I began to prophesy, if you don't come.
B
To Wednesdays, you don't hear it. So come on. And if you can't come watch, you're missing things. Don't be an SOB.
A
Dr. Dufresne calls people, sobs. Sunday only bunch.
B
We're full Christians.
A
We're not. Sunday only. And the Holy Ghost began to came on me.
B
And at the end of my sermon.
A
I began to prophesy. I saw as a divine revelation. I didn't know it was because of what I'm saying now, Jenny, but I saw. I saw a vision. I saw those children, those young boys in the fire. I saw. I'm telling you, it's the most magnificent thing I've ever seen.
B
I saw Jesus step in. I saw him hug them. I saw them walk together. I saw them celebrate and dance in the fire. I saw Nebuchadnezzar go, what is this?
A
Are you listening? And the Lord said the three. I mean, I've never heard anybody say this, but God said it.
B
The three Hebrew children represent the three former revivals. The healing revival, the Holy Ghost, you.
A
Know, revival, what do you call it? Charismatic.
B
And then the Word of Faith, the teaching revival. And he said, but Jesus is the fourth man. And Jesus, when he steps in, he is bringing the greatest of all revivals. And all the men said, those three will be put into one. All the three will be combined into one. And William Branham said, it will be like a bomb thrown on planet Earth and it will explode. And the three revivals will look like nothing when the fourth one shows up. And the Lord said, jesus is the fourth man, the greatest man. And when he comes the last day, revival is here.
A
I'm telling you. Are you listening?
B
And he said, yes, there was persecution.
A
That's why they're in the fire, he.
B
Said, but I delivered them and watched. He said, when the world who persecuted them saw the fire and the glory, the world, the devils marveled, Nebuchadnezzar marveled.
A
And he said, even the ones that.
B
Persecute you, I will make them marvel. Because this revival is coming.
A
I'm telling you, the revival is coming, man.
B
When he showed that to me, I started to dance in my room. Because all these three images have been good. But when he said that last one, I said, my God, you're awesome. My God, you're awesome. Nothing could be more perfect as an illustration for 2029. It is our year coming into Samaria. It is our year coming into Jerusalem.
A
Full year.
B
It is our year when, yes, persecution.
A
But it's God is saying something through this. He's saying something prophetically. He's winking. He's whispering. He's not revealing, but I could see him winking at me. He's like, yes, because it's the fire of persecution, but it's the fire of revival. It's the fire of the last great fourth revival. Jesus is bringing it. And he's winking at me, saying, I'm letting you know, in 29, something's getting ready to break, son. That's why I'm giving you that image. Because in 30, it's a new decade. I believe it's a decade to bring back Jesus. And in 30, that revival is going to hit. I'm telling you, I'm prophesying to you by the Holy Ghost, that revival is going to hit. And we're going to start getting tastings and hors d' oeuvres in 29 as we look at that image. But in 30, my God, Jenny, it's going to hit. And I'm telling you, we're going to see stuff we've never seen before. We're going to see stuff that is.
B
Going to make those other three revivals look like.
A
I'm not lessening them, But I'm saying it's going to be greater.
B
Because Jesus was greater than Shadrach and.
A
Benny, and he delivered them and he.
B
Made the devil marvel, and he's going.
A
To do it for us. And he came to me in my.
B
Room, and I heard him say, this is Elijah's fire. Next year is Moses fire. Then it's the disciples fire, and then it's the three Hebrew children and the Lord Jesus himself's fire. And I want you to meditate. I want you to preach it hard. I want the people to pray it hard. Because you got four years and strong. Because when you hit this new stride, this new flow, this new decade of.
A
30, I'm telling you, it's going to be different. Whatever we've experienced is going to look like nothing. And I know I'm putting myself out there to say that, because people say, well, if it doesn't happen, you're going to look like an idiot. Yes, absolutely, I will. But I heard God say it, so it's up to him to perform it. My job is to prophesy it.
B
My job is to declare it.
A
My job is to give voice publicly to what he said in my spirit. And it will come to pass. So this year is our year of fire on the altar. Next is the year of fire in the bush. Next is a year of fire on the heads. And last is a year of fire in the furnace. And we're going to have this four year, and we're going to punch it. Are you with me? I know you're with me. I can sense you're with me. And God's going to send you people. He's going to send people that want this. He's going to send people that have been praying for this, and they just don't know who we are. Maybe you should tell them. And if you don't, angels will. Or if you do, angels will as well. My job is not to beat you up about evangelism. God is going to bring the people. Just obey him when he tells you to open your mouth. Hallelujah. Heavenly Father, I've done my best that I can do. Father, I thank you for your precious anointing, Holy Ghost, that I can feel so heavy upon me and in this room. You love this casting of the vision. You love me telling the people what you said, making it public, making it real, putting myself out there, making it official. Angels that are with me assist in this to come to pass. Assist for the people to be able to receive it and grasp it and be able to visualize it. Father, I don't know fully what all this means, but I do know that you said this year there will be a demonstration in our lives, and it's going to be more dramatic than we're used to. And it's represented by the fire of Elijah at the Mount Carmel. I thank you, Father. It starts now. It starts now. In the name of Jesus. Every life in this room that wants it personally, they can reach out and take it if they don't want it. That's up to them. But Lord, we're all taking it for this church corporately. I'm taking it personally, but I'm also primarily taking it corporately. I put my faith with it and Lord, use me and use them however you desire to use us this year. Let us have a year of supernatural spirit led seed sowing. Let us have a year of bold witnessing. Let us have a year of not just getting healed ourselves, but praying for others and seeing them healed because of the touch power that flows through our own hands. Father, I thank you for a year that you said you'll pour out fire at the very beginning of it. We will understand more what that means as the year continues. But we want you to know that we are saying yes to you. We are in agreement. We cooperate with you. We say yes and amen to the year of fire. We say yes and amen to the four years ahead of fire and glory. We say yes, Father, to what you're going to do in this church before you wrap this up. By the Rapture. We give you praise and we give you glory. The house of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Just lift your hands if you want it. If you want that impartation that is present today. I can't lay hands on everybody but you just lift your hands and you take it. In Jesus name. Father, I thank you in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. I thank you, Father, in the name of Jesus. I can't lay hands on everybody. But Father, you directly, by the Holy Ghost, lay hands on those that want it, that want the impartation for this. I wasn't going to do this, but I heard him say there's an impartation this morning for what you preached. Lay hands on the front. But tell them everybody can receive it if they'll reach out by faith and take it. Father, I know they have to go, but we reverence the Holy Ghost. Don't stop. I thank you, Father, for my staff, for my leaders. I thank you for every heart that is hungry that they receive the impartation. Lord, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. This is a holy, a holy thing, Father, that we're stepping into. This is the last four years. You've never said that in the other years. It's just been another year. You said now. Oh my God. Oh my God. Now you're on now you're on the home stretch. You've been running this race all these years, but now the last four years is the home stretch. Now it's time to pick up the speed, pick up the pace, pick up, increase the intensity, increase the confession, increase the giving, increase the evangelism, increase the praying, increase it all. Because I'm telling you, you're going to end this four years with a bang. And you're going to be ready. You're going to be primed, pumped and ready, both barrels cocked. Because when the 30s come. My God, My God. My God. It will be such as we have never seen in the name of Jesus. I'm saying it by the Holy Ghost. It will be such as we have never seen in the name of Jesus. It will be such as we have never seen in the name of Jesus. We're going to see the glory of God. I'm talking about the glory of God is going to show up in the name of Jesus. We're going to see that glory come where the sinners are going to see it outside the building. They're going to look and they're going to see. I don't know how, but they're going to see the glory, even though they're not even in the building. And some are going to come in to say what is going on in here? And they're going to hear about the glory. And God's going to give us a building, and it's going to be called the Glory center. And it's going to draw them, and we're going to see the power like we've never seen it. And it's going to be the building that we are in when the rapture takes place. Place. I know this sounds grandiose, I know this sounds high, but it is high. It is glorious, it is powerful. And I am so grateful that I have any part in it, even a small part. I am so grateful I am in the room. I am so grateful to be a part of the great things God is doing. Out of all the generations, the millions and billions of people, he chose us to be here at his coming. Father, thank you for choosing us to be alive at this great hour like Esther. We have been called for such a time as this. Hallelujah.
Promise of Life Church Podcasts
Host: Promise of Life Church
Speaker: Pastor Craig Field
Date: January 4, 2026
Episode Theme: Vision casting for the next four years – “Fire & Glory” – within the overarching prophetic timeline of the church.
This episode is a special vision-casting message by Pastor Craig Field, setting the spiritual direction and expectations for Promise of Life Church for 2026 and beyond. Pastor Craig shares a detailed prophetic timeline the church has followed since 2017, drawing parallels to biblical narratives involving David, Elijah, and Elisha. He introduces a new focus for the next four years: “Fire and Glory.” The message is deeply prophetic, motivational, and is intended to unify the church body under one vision as they enter what he calls the “home stretch” before a significant move of God.
Personal Visitation (2017): Pastor Craig recounts a pivotal encounter on January 17, 2017 that shaped the church’s prophetic journey. He references biblical symbols and timelines:
“At 2am in the morning, God walked into our living room... we had a visitation from God. It marked us.” (01:02)
Prophetic Track Record: The annual prophetic directions since 2017 have “come to pass” as foretold, giving credibility to current and future projections.
2017-2020: Elisha's Journey
“On the 30th day, I was paralyzed... my wife said, we need to rush you to the hospital.” (09:55) “On that 40th day, December 12, 2020, that anointing came. Jesus walked in the room. Two angels walked in the room.” (11:52)
2021–2025: Retracing the Steps and Elijah's Timeline
2026 Identified as the 'Year of Fire': Preparation gives way to supernatural demonstration.
The Next Four Years:
“As you step into this world stage, the first full year of 29, it’s going to include some persecution, but there’s going to be great glory to it.” (22:30)
A New Unifying Theme: All church groups (kids, youth, young adults) to rebrand with “Fire & Glory”—emphasizing unity and singular vision.
“God has taken... He said, there’s nothing wrong with individuality. He said, but I’m removing that because you’re no longer in a season to every person have their own vision... There is one vision and there’s one mind, one word, one spoken thing, one, one group, although many groups. Everything is fire and glory.” (26:03)
Four Years, Four Images – Memorializing Vision in Art (39:48–40:52)
“Next is the year of fire in the bush. Next is a year of fire on the heads. And last is a year of fire in the furnace.” (40:53)
Call for Whole-Church Engagement: Pastor Craig urges the congregation to “reach out and take it by faith.”
“If you want it, you need to reach out your faith and take it because it’s available and these years are coming and the timelines match perfectly.” (24:18)
Expectation for a World-impacting Move of God:
Eschatological Expectancy:
“I know that Jesus is coming soon. It could even be in the 20s. But I have a sense it’s going to be in the 30s.” (28:19) “Now you're on the home stretch. You've been running this race all these years, but now the last four years is the home stretch. Now it's time to pick up the speed...” (41:00)
On Vision and Prophetic Fulfillment:
“If there’s no track record of it coming to pass, then you shouldn’t listen to me. But there IS a track record.” (04:45)
On Acceleration:
“He said, 2026 is a year of fire...I'm pouring out fire this year...fire represents a measure of acceleration. It's the miracle power. It's something dramatic.” (16:22)
On Persecution & Glory:
“Persecution is coming. He said, but I will deliver you from it. Because anytime you become on the world stage and devils start taking notice...But with that persecution is going to come my glory.” (22:45)
On "Fire & Glory" Unity:
“I want every person in the church to think the same thing, believe the same thing, say the same thing, pray the same thing, expect the same thing. And this is years of fire and glory.” (26:03)
Prophetic Declaration:
"This year is our year of fire on the altar. Next is the year of fire in the bush. Next is the year of fire on the heads. And last is a year of fire in the furnace. And we’re going to have this four year, and we’re going to punch it. Are you with me? I know you’re with me. I can sense you’re with me." (40:52)
On the Immediacy of the Season:
“These four years have to end with a blast...you’re not going slow, you’re going fast. You’re not looking down, you’re looking up, you’re not jogging, you’re running. End these four years with a blast because these are the years of fire and glory.” (29:08)
Pastor Craig closes with a strong call for the congregation to embrace this vision with faith, unity, and anticipation. He emphasizes that the next four years are critical—a time of acceleration, demonstration, unity, increased prayer, and preparation for a new era of God’s glory and revival, both for the church and the broader world.
“We are saying yes to you. We are in agreement. We cooperate with you. We say yes and amen to the year of fire. We say yes and amen to the four years ahead of fire and glory.” (41:15)
For those who haven’t listened:
This summary lays out both the structure and spirit of the message—an urgent, unified call to spiritual preparation, embracing the promise that “Fire & Glory” will mark both the present and future of the church. The episode is prophetic and motivational, with clear instructions for practical alignment and spiritual expectation over the next four years.
