The Holy Spirit and His Flaming Chariot of Fire
                         

                                      Vision by Bonnie Franklin 9/16/02
   And I heard the sound of horses snorting and breathing heavily, nostrils flared. They were white horses, running as a team. They were running with all of their might, flat out. And they were pulling a FLAMING CHARIOT OF FIRE. It was being driven by the HOLY SPIRIT. He was standing and he wasn’t the sweet Holy Spirit – comforter, dove we’re used to. He was on a mission, by the order of the Father. He was determined. He was fierce. I can only compare him to the picture of Jesus when he comes back to do battle in John’s Revelation. There was that face and look of determination on his face.

        And the horses and the chariot of fire ran full speed to their first point of destination upon a map of the United States. It was the house of a prophet. As they circled above in the air, and I saw that man of God, hear the whistle of the Holy Spirit and he responded, “Yes, Lord.” And as he moved to go he was changed from a man to an eagle and he took flight and met the Holy Spirit in the air, in the chariot of fire.

And the Holy Spirit stretched forth his arm in another direction and the chariot took off. They continued this way, crisscrossing the nation until the chariot of fire was full of eagles, which were not consumed in the fire, but anointed and brought back to life in the fire, the fire of the Holy Spirit.

And when He had picked up all who had responded to his call, the Holy Spirit breathed upon the eagles and out of his mouth came the breath of fire. And he breathed fire into the mouths of the eagles, yet the eagles were not consumed, but they became flaming eagles, golden eagles, golden eagles breathing fire. (It’s this fire of the eagles that can combat the fire of the dragon – the dragons, which will be let forth upon the earth by the enemy in the coming days.)

The Holy Spirit in Washington

     The eagles then flew by the direction of the Holy Spirit as He pointed to this kingdom and that. They flew with the fire of the Holy Spirit in their mouths. The kingdoms were churches and cities and ministries. And they were lit afire and aflame by the fire coming out of the mouths of the eagles. And kingdoms were surrounded by the flaming fire. And then the Holy Spirit’s chariot came to a stop in the air over the Capitol in Washington! The Father in Heaven issued a decree and I saw the Holy Spirit speak and men in positions of power over this nation did hear his voice.

INTERCESSION:
        May we all be where we are supposed to be, God. May each one of your servants be faithful and respond to that call of your Holy Spirit. We’ve seen your face; we’ve seen your tears. Holy Spirit, now we are seeing you.

And yes, you can show us your gentle side, your sweet side, your side of comfort and of peace. We were not prepared to see you in all of your glory. The Watchers of heaven are standing in agreement. The orders from the Throne have gone forth. May we do our little parts, even if it’s to collect the dust that gets stirred up from the heels of the heavenly horses. For cannot even the dust from the flaming chariot of God bring forth life?

        Oh God, we were so encouraged when we saw and we recognized that mantle of leadership and encouragement fall upon George W.’s shoulders. Did you not show him to Don as “George, the Dragon Slayer?” Lord, you showed your prophet, the leader of our nation dressed as a knight of the crusades of old, putting on his helmet and raising his sword. That was when the election was announced finally after all those weeks. The vision was given then. The mandate was given then. The anointing and the calling was given then.

And so George W. is fulfilling his role. Continue to lead and guide him. May he continue to receive wise council, even from your prophets, even from the voice of your prophets. For he is one who will listen. He is one who does hear. Does he not tear up when people grab his hand and say, “I am praying for you.” Lord, may he hear your wisdom and your council.

      God, preserve America and preserve Israel. Preserve the House of Israel scattered all over the nations of the world – your Church. Bind us together. May we become one now, in intercession, in times of intercession. And if troubling times are upon us, if indeed horrors are coming, we know that your hand is not short, you can protect us even in the dens of lions, even in the furnaces of fire; for we are surrounded by your fire, God.

I’m thankful you are sending back your eagles - the eagles of thunder and of lightening to strike fires, Holy Ghost fires all across this nation! Oh, God, may each one of us be where you’ve designed and decreed for us to be, not busy building up our own little kingdoms. Look at Paul, Lord. May we follow his example. He’s placed even his own life at danger to be there in that city of power to pray and to intercede.

May we find peace in knowing, that you have the men of the hour in power, in places of power and in positions of power. Oh Lord God, you are watching over Israel. You are watching over America. You are watching over your children. And I thank you, that you are watching over your prophets. You do see and you do know what you are doing. We bless your name. We bless your name. We bless your name.

And may our children be preserved for their generation – a holy generation, a holy priesthood. Even now you are raising up the little Samuels to lead and to govern. You are training them to hear your voice. I am so thankful the Holy Spirit is here! And his throne will sit over Washington, for a time! He is busy. Oh, he’s activating a mighty, mighty prophetic army.

Oh, Lord God, may your will be done. May we come into agreement with your will. May this country come into agreement of your will for the preservation of the House of Israel.
