The word "Fire" resounds in my heart. God is calling a people to him that will be on fire. They are unable to hold in the fire it burns in their heart. it consumes them, it purifies them, it lights others on fire, drawing man not to themselves but to God. We are part of something bigger than ourselves. bigger than "callings" and "dreams" "giftings" we are part of a movement of fire that is sweeping the earth. He is calling men and women to "stand on the pyro line" as a woman in CoSpgs. once spoke to me. We always talk about the world getting darker. I personally think that we are getting brighter and that is why the world is getting darker.
God is not putting up with this "living a mediocre life crap," He has drawn a line in the sand a "pyro line" either we step up or we stay back, however we decide-He is moving forward. He will not beg us to come but He will provide opportunity for us to follow, to obey. God once told me "Sarah you can stay here, but I am moving." ouch. but back to the point: I KNOW He didn't call us to hide our fire or to just barely keep it alive. We are to feed it, we are to build it up, we are to allow it to consume us, "for the glory of God and so that others may live." People are drawn to fire. I have noticed that a lot of Christians are feeling a tugging on the inside, they are challenged, the crap that they/we have allowed to settle is being brought up. We cannot compromise, He is calling fire to PURIFY his people. (We always think of purity in terms of sexual purity. But God is calling purity in all areas...) We say "the world is getting darker" He says "I am calling you to be brighter. be consumed by me, allow my fire to consume you." May the word of God be like fire in your bones.
"But if I say, I will not mention or speak any more in his name, his word is in my heart like fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed I cannot." -Jeremiah 20:9
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kingss to the brightness of your dawn." -Isaiah 60:1-3
