Walking down a busy street one night the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, “What would you do if a young woman ran from one of these buildings and she was on fire?” I quickly responded, “I would do whatever it took to put her out.” Immediately the voice of the Lord came back at me, “THEY ARE ALL ON FIRE!”
.
That experienced happened to me years ago, but it is often brought back to my memory when I think of the task that the Lord Jesus has set before us: “To deliver the lost and dying from the horrors of an eternal hellish torment.” The ONLY thing that can extinguish what may now appear to be the “invisible” flames of this final judgment is the preaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to a generation engulfed in the incendiary sins of this life.
.
Isaiah the Prophet said in Chapter 5:14, “Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth beyond measure.” Yet a chapter later when the Lord of Hosts Himself sought someone who would enter the blazing inferno of rebellion to offer the flame-quenching “Water of the Word” he said, “Here I am, send me.”
.
On almost a daily basis we are called “into the flames” because there is a person “on fire.” They represent someone’s son or daughter, a wayward spouse, or that innocent enough looking neighbor. While the spiritual “accelerant” may differ in each of their cases, they are still being rapidly consumed by hells firestorm. But WE are the Fire Fighters of the Most High God!

May 24-28 we are once again taking a team of “Smoke Jumpers” into the streets of America’s largest city: New York City – Population 12,000,000. A “Smoke Jumper” is a termed used by the Forestry Department for firefighters who risk life and limb to leap from airplanes into the midst raging wildfires. Satan sees these millions of souls as mere “kindling” for the fires of hell, but we see them as branches needing to be grafted into the ‘Tree of Life.”
.
Perhaps you would like to “Jump With Us” next month? This outreach is open to all believers who would dare answer the call to do “whatever it takes to put them out.” The basic cost of the outreach is $125 per person. That will cover a place to sleep for (4) nights and your very own outreach team t-shirts. You will need to arrange for your own transportation to the city, purchase a subway pass, and your meals on the streets. (Email me with any questions or for more details)
.
Maybe you cannot “Jump” yourself, but would like to sponsor a “Firefighter” to go as your representative? You can give to this cause by sending your tax-deductible gift to:

Raven Ministries International
P.O. Box 1897

We have seen the Holy Spirit douse the flames upon hundreds of lives on the streets of New York City and are expectant of seeing many more snatched from the jaws of hell this year too. Can you join us? Can you help?
