The Fire of God…

Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. It’s too cold to spend my time outside with the Living God the way I like to, but I can’t resist stepping out to see the Touch of the Master’s Hand and snap a photo to share. I’m not a photographer and I don’t spend time setting up the shot…I point and shoot. When I looked at this image a little later on all I could do was smile. It’s as if the sky was reflecting what my Heart feels. My Heart is on fire for the Living God and I’m blinded by His Love. So, when I looked at this image I immediately thought about the Fire of God that reaches from Heaven to earth…a fire only He can create…a fire only He can ignite. His fire cannot be managed by man and the Results of exposure to His Fire can’t be faked. Isn’t it just like the Living God to burn a message on the Heart of this humble servant using an unusual shot of the morning sun?

Things are pretty simple when it comes to our relationship with the Living God. We either Love Him…or we don’t. Kind of loving Him isn’t acceptable to Him and it equates to “hate” in His eyes. Faking “faith” for the sake of pride or image or to humor someone else won’t end well for the “hypocrite” because God will not be mocked and He can spot a “fake” from zillions of miles away. Unfortunately, the Church is filled with “fakes”…spectators going through the motions BUT not on Fire for God at all…people doubting (or denying) the Power of the Holy Spirit, and critics on the sidelines attempting to snuff out what God is doing. We can definitely put a stop to revival when man attempts to intervene BUT we can’t stomp out His Fire no matter how hard we try. Genuine Revival is a Supernatural showing up of God…a Fire reaching from Heaven to earth. Revival can’t be created by man. It can’t be invented or mirrored. You can’t plan for the Fire of God to show up…it just does. Revival is not an event on the calendar, although we schedule them in hopes of seeing changed hearts. Revival is a spiritual wave of Almighty God that comes crashing in and Ignites a Holy Spirit Fire within humbled hearts while it crushes hard hearts to bring them to their knees supernaturally. Revival is driven by the Fire of the Holy Spirit and I am confident that I will see the Fire of God right before my eyes the same way I feel it in my Heart. That’s what Faith looks like!

I’m excited about what God is doing. In the Kingdom. Through Revival. In my Heart. In my Life. In my Journey of Faith. I have a Supernatural Fire within me that no man can snuff out because I guard my Heart like a fort. I have an adversary that would love to throw cold water on the Consuming Fire I feel but he is Destined to lose the war and I’m Determined to fight the battles. I want more of His Fire. I want more of His Word. I want more of Him. And I want to see the Fire from Heaven to Earth. I long to see Revival with my very own eyes BUT I won’t be chasing it around and I won’t be trying to copy it. I’ll continue to Believe and I’ll make sure my Heart is a worthy witness instead.

How about you?
