The LORD is calling many higher to be carriers of the refining fires of holiness. He has warned and now He has brought forth a Door, saying “Come up higher and hear what I have planned.” Many must release their pre-conceived ideas of their future to receive this revelation.
They must come into a place with an attitude of willingness to build on a foundation of His and not the works of their own preconceptions of who they are and what they think He has called their work in His Kingdom. If they are to carry His Light to others, they must be willing to be refined or else they will be counted as reprobate silver.
Then He reminded me of these visions as recorded below from the book “I Looked and I Saw” revealed to Annie Schisler.
Waves in the Storm
Today I again saw the storm of affliction and trouble that will sweep over both the world, and over His own ones also. Like waves, it rose and fell with times of rest between waves; this was true both in the dark part of the storm as well as in the workings and dealings in light. Below all things was God, controlling, motivating, directing, and giving forth strengths and powers. God was there in great constancy, fulfilling His own purposes and His own ends in love. In His great love over His own ones there was absolutely no change or fluctuation whatsoever. During the time of the strength of their waves, the powers of evil were allowed to detain the forces of light for temporary and predetermined periods of time.
In the workings of the waves of light there was an operation of a preparation of faith, in order that His own should be able to believe for a work of God that He desired to give. This was a preparation for a further revelation of truth. In order to bring forth a faith that could be brought to an operation of truth, God showed it forth as if it were an accomplished work.
Under one of the waves of light of His workings below, certain ones were walking in the way of light. Some distance behind them were certain who did not know how to walk in the way of light. This wave of light had come to them as revelation, but they had not reached up to receive it. At a certain predetermined moment He awakened and put into action certain spiritual forces that operated exclusively in the spirituals in relation to the storm. One of the purposes of the storm was to establish and strengthen the glorious things which were loose and scattered. Through the action of the storm of affliction and persecution, they were made to shine in a wonderful development.

A vision of the Possession of Land is the next stage that comes for those who wish to be the Channels of Light or “Light Bringers” It was a position that The LORD was offering His Elect who would be willing to let go of the cords that held them to other things apart from Him.
Possessing the Land
In prayer today I saw God give to His own ones what seemed to be a certain possession of land which they must occupy. Some of them, who occupied only a part of the land that was given to them, were taken into a crisis place and brought into an encounter with God Himself. There He asked them for all that they had occupied, in order to give them yet another opportunity to occupy the portion of land that was left. If this latter operation of God was unsuccessful, all their possession – both occupied and – was taken from them.

Those who possess the land will be brought into a place where they will be endowed with The Power to Build.
Power to Build
I saw God take His own ones into a place which He called the “power to build”. God brought them into this place without their knowing either the entrance or the exit. There they found even more than they had expected or hoped to find. It was necessary for them to find the “power to build” in order to be able to carry this power out with them. God then took them to other places where this “power to build” would go forth and raise up buildings. Without this power, which they had to find in this special place, they could not build. If, being in this place, they did not find that power to build, it remained in their memory only as a nice place that they had visited. They were not taken on forward into the positions of building for Him.
