THE BLUE FLAME OF THE LORD--DIVINE REVELATION, PASSIONATE LOVE, AND THE ESSENCE OF HEAVEN
by Patricia King

For the last number of months, I have had recurring nudges from the Holy Spirit to meditate on the phrase, "The Blue Flame of the Lord."

The blue flame is the hottest and most intense part of a fire, and the color blue is often a prophetic symbol of divine revelation, God's love, and an open Heaven.

Blue Flame Encounter

Recently while teaching at Glory School in Dudley, England, with Trevor and Sharon Baker, I had a spiritual encounter regarding the Blue Flame of the Lord. In this encounter, I could feel myself soaring like an eagle, looking upward into the sun while in flight. My eyes were fixed on the sun. Eagles (often a Biblical symbol of the prophetic) in the natural have an extra membrane over their eyes that other birds do not have. This allows them to look directly into the sun without damage to their vision.

As I gazed into the sun, I could feel myself being drawn towards its center, and that is when I saw it--the Blue Flame. It was so beautiful. I could feel its strength that is to be feared and respected, and also I felt its passion. The Lord gave me three points of understanding and application that I would like to share with you.

1. The Blue Flame Speaks of Divine Revelation

Fire is an illuminator. Our Heavenly Father has given us the Holy Spirit as our Helper. He leads and guides us into all truth, and grants us revelation concerning Christ and His invisible Kingdom. The Spirit reveals the deep things of God.

In 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, the Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit reveals to those who love the Lord, the things that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and things that have not even entered into our heart. Verse 10 states, "…for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God."

The Lord is promising an impartation of the deep things of His heart to those who fix their gaze upon Him. This is a season of increased and intensified revelation for those whose lives are completely His.

2. The Blue Flames Speaks of His Passionate Love

Song of Solomon 8:6 teaches, "...love is as strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which have a most vehement flame."

The intensity of this type of jealous love speaks of His great passion and affection for us. We are in His heart continuously. It is the power of this love that purifies and refines us. This love burns up the dross and aligns us with His ways and purposes.

When we are filled with His passionate love, the blue flame is also ignited within us and creates an intense love response to Him. "We love Him because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19). When the blue flame of His love burns within us, we will also love others with His passion.

The Body of Christ is being invited to be filled with the blue flame of His love and to cause the world around us to be set ablaze with this love. New levels of refining, separation, purification, and purging will come to God's people as a result of individuals being filled with the blue flame of love. More intense levels of love for God and for others will be experienced in the Body of Christ.

3. The Blue Flame Speaks of the Essence of Heaven

When examining the Scriptures, it appears that blue (found in the sapphire) is a significant color in Heaven. In fact, the pavement under God's feet is sapphire. Exodus 24:10, "And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of Heaven in His clearness."

We also find that the foundations of the walls of the Heavenly Jerusalem include sapphire stones (Revelation 21:19).

In the natural, when we look up into the sky, we see "blue." Blue is the color that symbolizes the Open Heaven.

Many of God's children in this hour, will receive increased Heavenly and divine encounters. The Body of Christ will become more and more familiar with the reality of Heaven--God's place of abode. Multiplied manifestations of Heaven will be seen in the earth. More believers will live under the blessings of the Open Heaven.

Word of Wisdom and Revelation

Our friend Faisal Malick from Covenant of Life Ministries adds these thoughts:

"The blue flame of the Lord represents purity of revelation and wisdom. Revelation is unveiling hidden wisdom in the right season. Secrets are never hidden from God, but by HIM, for us.

WISDOM IS REVELATION CONCEALED AND REVELATION IS HIDDEN WISDOM REVEALED.

When the Kairos time comes for hidden wisdom to be revealed in the earth, the deep of the Father connects with the deep of our spirits, and Holy Spirit impregnates us with revelation knowledge wrapped in the seed of His Word. As a result, hidden wisdom foreordained unto our Glory in Christ is unlocked.

Then forerunners come forth out of the wilderness impregnated with revelation knowledge in the womb of their spirit. They carry the baby, or steward the revelation in the midst of persecution and affliction with great joy, knowing that they must give birth to the plans of the Spirit into the earth.

Then the season comes where they actually speak forth by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, making known even to the principalities and powers the wisdom of God, that was hidden long before even principalities existed.

This then provides a death blow to the devil and the gates of hell which can not prevail against revelation knowledge, and allows the will of Heaven to be done on earth as it is in Heaven."

"The WORD is forever settled in Heaven but must be established in earth."

Embrace the Blue Flame

May we gaze with a renewed focus into the intense fiery love of God. Let's prepare ourselves to receive revelation into the deep mysteries of God and await authentic encounters with the very atmosphere of Heaven.

Let's embrace the Blue Flame and allow Him to burn strong in our hearts. May we truly be known as those He makes to be His ministers--flames of fire (Psalm 104:4).
