Isaiah tells us that he creates (by His spirit) a "cloud", "smoke", "shining" (light) and "flaming fire". These "glory" things are to be a "defense" and a "refuge", Isaiah 4:4-6.

Ephesians 6:11-17, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast plate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Spirit things are more real than natural things. Holy Spirit things may also be Spirit-baptized natural or natural elements Spirit empowered. According to Ezekiel, we may likewise be free from gravitational bondage.

Our supernatural weapons are to be Spirit-empowered or Spirit-baptized, covered things, which will become weapons of force that may even be used against evil supernatural and invisible forces that may be our enemies. These weapons will overcome the evil forces that come against us in harm. We overcome them, not by man-made power, "but by my Spirit, saith the Lord," II Ecclesiastes 4:6.

I Corinthians 15:45, 46, "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual."

For natural, material things to have supernatural operation or manifestation they must be Spirit-powered. The Spirit Baptismal Substance the author has named "Christ- alujah", may come to or upon natural material matter in different degrees of intensity, quantity, and quality. God’s Light of Light ingredients are so powerful that when natural things are even touched by it they become activated.

Immortality is only realized when the proper intensity of both quality and quantity are raised to a certain height. This stops deterioration. If a person has proper depth of Spirit intensity upon his body, spoilage, rust, mildew, and dying ceases to exist. Then the attainment of immortality is experienced and becomes certain. The person becomes immortal-everlasting as long as Jesus’ substance is intact upon and in the cells and molecules. Please restudy I Corinthians 15:40-53.

When iron was touched by the Spirit of God it floated. (II Kings 6:6). When oil was touched by the Spirit-power of the Lord, through the faith of a prophet, it multiplied and an artesian oil well developed (II Kings 4: 6). Jesus touched two fish and five loaves; the Holy Spirit multiplied natural food to bring about in value approximately $66,000.00 dollars worth of food to feed about 15, 000 men, women, and children. The twelve baskets left over were Jewish baskets, four times the size of an American bushel, about 48 bushels of Spirit-anointed and created delicious food was left over, Luke 9:16.

This is the reason why our weapons must be spiritual ones, not carnal. Spiritual evil forces must be dealt with by Holy Spirit-empowered of Spirit-baptized power.

If we carefully study the last day outpouring Spirit prophecies, we discover that many so-called natural things may be Spirit-baptized and changed into the supernatural. They may become weapons for us in order to effectively combat both the natural and supernatural enemies of our soul and body. This is true whether they be enemies from the elements or from evil men or the forces of Satan. Please study Joel’s prophecy and Revelation 11 and 12.

Through obtaining and using these Spirit-harnessed and empowered weapons we may thus have at our command and use the same kind of weapons similar to those of the heavenly forces and armies of Michael and the Lord of Heaven. (The elements may be harnessed by His Spirit and for defense purposes, as described also in Isaiah 4:5 and Isaiah chapter 51.) We may step up our might and overcoming ability to the extent that these and scores of other great promises for us in God’s word will actually become a tangible living reality. Listen to this: "A small one (all righteous, full Spirit- baptized person) will become a great nation."

Isaiah 60: 20, 21, "Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting Light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."

The "smiting stone" will be the all-Spirit baptized army of God, Joel chapter two.

Daniel 2:44 and 45, "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."

Jeremiah 51:20, "Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms."

The mighty, powerful Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire (Romans 3:23 shortness of glory power) has hardly been deeply considered and appreciated. In fact, it has seldom, if ever, been taught to the extent and depth that one may be immersed or saturated in this experience; this will determine the amount of dynamic spiritual and physical or natural energy one has at his or her command. For instance, when the atmosphere or mind becomes charged (baptized) with the Holy Spirit dynamic forces, a person may become endowed as a tornado person, called "fanners". A number of places in God’s word bring this out. Jeremiah 1:12; 10:13; 15:6, 7; 22:22; 25:31-34; 30:23, 24; 51:1, 2.

The Wind Spirit Army, the all-body soul baptized manchild will have the Acts 2: 2 wind and Holy Ghost sounds. He will be so baptized and in complete control of the Holy Spirit that he will be very likely second in power under the Lord only to the archangels.

Comparing the honor, the closeness of the restoration that Jesus’ great purchase price bought and brought us from, we are even called gods and lords.

Psalms 82: 6: "I have said, ‘Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High." When we actually receive the Now, Glorified Christ , " . . . to them He gave power to become the sons of God", John 1: 12.

As Spirit and Fire baptism comes to that certain intensity, we are as gods. We are as fallen men without eternal life and will die, but with the intensity of Holy Spirit God-life power substance, we then "can do all things", as Christ does them, through Christ. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." We then will have full executive authority and power commissioned unto us, and to utilize natural Holy Ghost-baptized things.

Sinners and unrepentant folk will not be blessed with these Holy Spirit anointed, covered blessings, they are for those who believe in and serve the Lord.

Isaiah 41:15, 16, "Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. (16) Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel."

The word of God forecasts a new and mighty, different people, for the last days. A people who will learn of their rights and privileges in Christ. A people who will even become protectors and guardians of the righteousness of the Lord, making a channel or greater pathway for his salvation to be poured forth and received. A powerful people the Lord will work through to bring judgment and destruction upon those in rebellion and disobedience to His righteous laws.

Just as the element of water was utilized in the great flood- judgement, in Noah’s time . . . so, today, our Lord will permit another great element, His wind-breath to bring forth judgment by the Wind-Air-Holy Spirit, through his mighty wind-people, having the Holy Spirit Wind-Power anointing upon their physical bodies, the full baptism Holy Ghost Fire.

Isaiah 30:28, "And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err."

The saved or sheep nation will come into the Lord’s kingdom.

Jeremiah 51:1, 2, 15, 16: "Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; (2) And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. (15) He bath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. (16) When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures."

More descriptions on how it will be done; the cutting, wind judgment by God’s sharp, cutting stone, wind-people.

The right to subdue the earth or the elements was given to man until the serpent interfered.

The time for such mighty movements of the whirlwind judgments will be in the last days because the work of God declares it such. The all new-born man will again take up that right to authority.

Jeremiah 30:23, 24, "Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. (24) The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it."

The manner and style of this judgment-work will be done and accomplished by the new militant church army of the Lord. Their weapons of war will be wind, "for with thee will I break in pieces the nations and with thee will I destroy kingdoms." (Jeremiah 51:20, 21). The 8th church overcomers (Revelation 2: 26, 27 and 12: 5) will start and stop the whirlwinds.

These weapons will be directed by the Holy Spirit whirlwinds and brought about in the last days upon the wicked in judgment. Just as Noah was told to build the ark and prepare it for a rain storm by the element of water, a flood, so likewise the Lord is preparing for the defiled earth and earth people a storm of whirlwinds, gales, cyclones, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons and electrical, fire storms, for the judgment. A judgment to come upon the wicked and upon the saints (unclothed with the Holy Spirit) who do not have the full and complete safety Comforter covering of protecting power. Those foolish virgin Christians, not having oil in their lamps. (Matthew 25:1-13). A fire-wind covered and protected people who will start or stop tornadoes.

These storms will be under the direction and power of the new manifested sons of God, as the Lord and Savior directs and for his righteous purpose!

They, of course, will be under the supervision and guidance in wisdom, from our Almighty Lord. Wind, breath, air are types of the Holy Spirit, it would therefore seem like a logical plan of the Lord to largely use "WIND" as a weapon for judgment in closing this Holy (Wind) Spirit dispensation because the nations rejected the Holy Ghost.

Our tools, our weapons, will surely be mighty. Just as any army must have weapons, so likewise will this new church- nation, the tornado people, have mighty, powerful weapons.

Full baptism with the Holy Spirit includes the Fire portion. As fire is a compliment to wind and as wind is to fire, so likewise are these powerful stone and wind people also ministers of fire (Hebrews 1: 7). They will be able to utilize these weapons, signified of stone, wind and fire. "Who maketh his angels spirits (translated winds) and his ministers a flame of Fire" Hebrews 1: 7. The true baptized, "and with Fire" (Matthew 3:16) people are coming forth!

Those not built upon the Stone Foundation of Christ will be crushed and ground to powder thereby because they are not on solid foundation. They are in Babylon. Babylon folk are confused people. Confused folk can be blessed and helped by the nonconfused, wind people, if they will let them.

This last and final, closing whirlwind storm, taking life in a wholesale manner, is also carefully dealt with in a number of places, found both in the Old and New Testaments.

Please note the above heading, our Lord is King of saints and not necessarily the king of the Jews, unless they are converted Jews.

Jeremiah 25:31-33, "A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. (39) Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from coasts of the earth. (33) And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."

The situation of judgment will become so tremendous that destruction and judgment from the wind people, judging the world, will be in a wholesale manner.

The rulers, politicians, professors, and ministers will not believe His word. Skepticism and bigotry supersedes belief and obedience. They argue away the truth. God therefore has the controversy with nations.

A sideline glimpse of how the storm, manchild people, will bring judgment is illustrated by the prophet Elijah.

Elijah had prophesied the truth to the injured king, Ahaziah, who fell through a lattice. Once again Elijah prophesied the truth. It was something that the king did not care to hear and it made him mad. Many folk today would rather hear ministers give fanciful lies than to hear the truth.

Often, our present day prophets flatter folk with all sorts of flowery prophecies and seldom bring forth the truth about negative things, leaving a person disappointed. Often they backslide, to seeing these deceptive dreams come about.

Like folk often do today, they keep running from one minister to another seeking to hear "a word", something that flatters their ears. The king sought good words and even lies from the prophets who had false gods.

King Ahaziah sent two separate companies with their captains to capture Elijah. As they backed him up a hill, Elijah declared: "And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty." II Kings 1: 12.

Wind or any other of the four elements can also be used by the sons of God today!

Twice the fire of God, at the command of the prophet, came down and destroyed two companies and their captains.

The fire of the Lord destroyed Elijah’s enemies. He walked over their ashes as the prophetic scripture tells us we can do.

The full baptism from the "Sun of Righteousness Wings" on our body brings this about. We may use forces of nature!

Malachi 4:2, 3, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (3) And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts." This is to come about in the last days.

Just as Elijah had power and authority, by the use of the weapon of fire, and elements, so likewise the Elijahs that are to appear in the last days will have power over the elements of both wind and fire, or the ability to properly use any of these elements, see Genesis 1: 28.

Originally, God gave man the right to control and subdue the earth. Subduing the earth is controlling the four major elements of earth, air, fire, and water. However, Satan caused man to obey him and man then lost this right.

II Cor. 2:14-16 (Smith Goodspeed Translation) states: " . . . but thank God! He always leads me in his triumphal train, through Christ, and spreads the perfume of knowledge of him everywhere through me as his censer bearer. Yes, I am the fragrance of Christ to God, diffused among those who are being saved and those who are perishing alike; to the one, a deathly, deadly odor, to the other a vital, life giving one. Who is qualified for this task? I am. For I am no peddler of God’s message, like most men, but like a man of sincerity, commissioned of God and in his presence, in union with Christ, I utter his message."

Jesus is a Sweet Smelling Savour. He was the Sacrificial Lamb of God. "And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD." Exodus 29:19 and Eph. 5:2.

Chapter 30 of Exodus describes the incense offering, the holy ointment, and the perfume made of sweet spices. These natural, smoke incense and sweet smelling perfume offerings before our great Lord were types of that which is greater today and which comes forth from the Lamb of God’s NOW Glorified Body.

The Bible states that these fire and smoke offerings were to be continual. It was pointing to the future manifestation of the everlasting God of Fire and Smoke.

See Psalms 24:7,9; 5:3; 121:1; 123:1-2.

II Kings 2: 10; 6:17.

Judges 7:6; Num. 21:8; 24:15-17

Isa. 60:1-5

(If not healed with shut eyes, Isa. 6: 10).

See Matt. 14:19, John 11: 41; 17:1.

Rev. 16:15, etc.

"This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and I will be their God." Ex. 29:42-43,45.
