I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled!”
When awakened by the alarming sound of sirens wailing in the distance and billows of smoke spiraling skyward, we know this is a sure sign that something is ‘on Fire’. Our minds instantly visualize the very fact that property could ultimately be destroyed or that a human life could be lost, FOREVER.
As recorded by Luke, Christ Jesus DECLARES HIS mission of PASSION. God’s Promised Holy Spirit is given to Believers, coming to inhabit tabernacles of flesh instead of stone temples, which God so deeply and lovingly desires to intimately dwell, the very heart of man.
Whenever a FIRE breaks out, there is a source of FUEL from which the blaze began, generated by a spark which in turn IGNITES the available kindling. Then the blazes begin raging upward and spreading outward, much like our desire to honor our Lord and King with Praises and share our burning Passion for HIM with others.
As a Believer in Christ, I must not only Confess Jesus as my Lord, but also be willing in my heart to be set ‘On FIRE’ by HIS Spirit. I too must be OBEDIENT in bringing others to HIM so they may also be totally consumed by God’s Holy Fire, Holy Spirit burns unquenchably within my heart a passion for the lost. Refining me in every way, to be presented as a purified vessel, used effectively in HIS service.
O’Lord, release from heaven YOUR purifying Fire, to burn within my heart, YOUR PASSION for souls. Engulf this generation of Believers, with Flames, an unquenched and raging furnace. No man’s flesh can stand in YOUR Holy Presence, only those souls that have endured YOUR refining FIRE. I shout Praises to YOU my LORD, for YOUR Spirit is the Living Oil Refining Disciples, Amen]]]]> ]]>
