Carrying the Fire is the second volume in The Prophet's Journey series, addressing the questions that belong to the longest and most costly stage of prophetic life - the middle years. By the time the prophet reaches this season, the calling is no longer new. They know what it costs. They are paying it with their eyes open. And sometimes - in the long seasons when the silence stretches and the fruit is not visible - they ask the question Jeremiah asked: can I stop?
This volume covers seventeen chapters drawn entirely from Scripture, addressing the wilderness seasons that feel like abandonment, the hardest discernment questions of the mature prophetic years, the distinction between the soul and the Holy Spirit, prophetic intercession, the anointing and the mantle, fasting and its relationship to prophetic clarity, household darkness, the ten-year night of sustained suffering, prophetic loneliness, spiritual warfare, proximity to the occult, false prophets, the corrupt church, faithful delivery of the word, the prophet's marriage under pressure, worship and prophecy, and how to hold on when everything in the prophet wants to stop.
Every answer is drawn from the prophets who carried the fire across the decades before you - Jeremiah, Elijah, Job, Habakkuk, Paul, Daniel, and Hosea. The fire does not go out. This volume is proof that the God who placed it is the God who sustains it.
