Is your fire a flame or is it a heap of ashes
-----
Look deep within yourself. Is your fire red hot or is it cold as ash. My Word says to STIR UP THE GIFT THAT IS WITHIN YOU. Do you not realize that the gift is me. I am always there but your awareness needs to actually be revitalized of me within you. therefor cause the fire of my SPIRIT to be fanned into flames for I AM a consuming fire devouring all that comes near. to the wood, hay and stubble destruction but to that which is built upon me the foundation of your faith I will cause it to be purified.
Teaching that the LORD spoke to me:
How do we cause the fire to be fanned into flame. first in the natural you need three things for a fire to exist. They are fuel, oxygen and heat. without one the others will not cause the fire, To me the oxygen is the breath of GOD that blows upon the word which is the fuel and that causes my passion to become hot which is the heat.
If we are not passionate with the LORD is evident in all we do. It seems to be a burden, that is cold. In the natural when you don't have a real passion for anything it becomes routine and cold. The word says the LOVE of many will wax cold in the last days. Guard your hearts from waxing cold and fall in love with the creator so as to keep your passion (heat) alive.
If we do not read the word there is nothing there to feed our passion. There will nothing there for the HOLY SPIRIT to put into your heart to keep the flame alive. To bring back to your remembrance the love of CHRIST in your lives.
Finally without the HOLY SPIRIT or THE BREATH OF GOD in our lives the spark will not flame up but will die out. Be in the place where the SPIRIT is moving and let GOD blow upon you the BREATH OF LIFE as he did to Adam and you will be resurrected again to be aflame with GOD.
I pray that GOD will keep my passion for him fresh and alive. I pray that I also be in the right place at the right time to have the BREATH OF GOD breath upon me for without these three things working in my life I am as a ash heap. AMEN.
humbly submitted In CHRIST
