The Fire that heals
Fire a strange element. It has the power to destroy, kill, clean, open, shut, cleanse, to bring light, to bring danger. Fire the He is an all consuming fire. The most important part is who is in control of the flame? There exists this beautiful fire that heals the fire of the Holy Spirit. It purifies, it protects, it is a friend. The same fire that heals us is the same fire that consumes our enemies. This burning flame that melts away fear, and our flesh than it wraps around us and fills our entire bodies. It pushes us past every natural boundary that ever existed to man, with this fire we are able to scale a wall. The impossible becomes possible. By you Holy Spirit.
My brothers and sisters any of you who are fully committed to Jesus Christ knows exactly what I am referring to. A painful type of cleansing and purging. The kind we often refer to in the refining of gold and silver. Yes, fire is reserved for the most beautiful of masterpieces. Only our Heavenly Father's Fire He only knows how to detox us from this world.
Ouch, and this process can be very intimidating, for the wounded hearts and souls, or for any of our souls that are undergoing the change required to be used for the Kingdom of God.
I feel to share this process with many to illuminate that if you are in the flame that I am here with you. We are being transformed into the Kings beautiful piece being made whole.
In the beginning, it can feel like pending and sure demise and doom. Whatever curves of life that led us here remember it all was apart of His grand plan. If Jesus led us to it, He will lead us through it. I am convinced that nothing can or will separate us from the love we have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The fire roots out a lot of hidden things, attitudes with one touch. We cannot be fake when touched by this fire. This Holy fire will expose every false motive I've ever even thought, thoughts or fears you might not know existed. Do we really love and trust Jesus Christ as we profess with our mouths. The fire will make liars out of some and glorify others.
It is the ride and die moments of no playing games you are all in or not at all.
The entrance stretched me in a way I have never experienced from anything in my life prior. Where everything we have learned about Jesus and our faith is put to the test. In the coals roasting, sweating, the temperature rising. Our devotion is tested unable to even contemplate doubt or you are toasted. Sometimes it feels like for lack of a better analogy I imagine being at gunpoint the pressure on moving the wrong way. Not in the sense of the forcefulness but in the sense of the intense pressure of the flames.
Just engulfed with consuming flames. The only way out is through, and upwards. I just feel to share this experience from my journey because this refining process is tough, and we all go through it more than once as we are always growing in the Kingdom. Let it be hope and encouragement for anyone of you out there who may think you're cursed. You're not! Quite the opposite dearly loved and being perfected as His beautiful vessel.
Realizing the living God is inside of us all the time, it is harder to remember in testing, and purging. It is a divine revelation that only Jesus himself can reveal to you. His Spirit, precious Holy Spirit. It is surprising to know how many of us know very little about the Holy Spirit. Most of our family is unaware of His ever moment presence waiting and wanting to be one with us in everything.
I walked around the mountains in circles because of this. Never the less thank you, Jesus, for saving me.
Unleash the power of faith. Faith in the valleys of circumstance. Tested by fire. Refined like gold.
My life is not my OWN! Nothing is MINE. Ownership is the Lords. Jesus Christ ALONE. We OWN NOTHING, WE ARE MANAGING STEWARDING HIS PROPERTY INCLUDING OURSELVES!
HALLELUJAH!
Blind bound and broken open my gates to the King of Glory.
Let it BURN!
Father in the name of Jesus,
Thank you for salvation the precious gift you freely give to all those who seek your face. Thank you for the cross, Jesus, thank you for your precious blood. You died for me, I don't deserve anything. Holy Spirit thank you that you dwell in us to teach and guide us in the ways of our Father in heaven. Thank you, Father, for your love that you pour out constantly in my life. Let me magnify you, for your praise and glory. I am yours! how blessed I am to have a glimpse of you. Thank you for loving me enough to want to teach, correct, and prepare me. Enough to say NO! I pray for each one of my brothers and sisters in the furnace right now that you would give them strength to endure the process and love when they are about to quit. Let us not break but be burned beautiful into your image Jesus. Let us look like you more, and less like our selves. Let us let go of our ideas of who we think we are and embrace the Kingdom and your truth. For those lost souls out there I pray Father that you would give them life and that more abundantly. Touch lives Jesus in the way only you can do. I pray this encourages all who read including myself. May I never forget WHO YOU SAY I AM. Let the truth of your grace, mercy, and love rain down on all. It doesn't matter our resumes what or where you we came from, what we've done, that you Lord Jesus come right where we are! That you are always willing Jesus! I pray the power of the Holy Spirit manifests in each of our lives in a new and deeper way. Thank you, Abba, Jesus, Holy Spirit, leads us in the way to everlasting. Create in us a pure heart and steadfast spirit.
In the name of the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS
Jesus Christ
Cleanse us search our hearts.
For your love endures forever!
