FAN TH FIRE

FAN THE FIRE FROM HEAVEN! There is a church who has the motto.."Wake up, sing up, preach up, pray up, pay up. But never give up, let up, back up, or shut up until the cause of Christ in the world is built up. They must have agreed with Timothy ... Stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning the gracious gift of God the inner fire that is in you") 2Timothy 1:16 AMP. SAMUEL CHADWICK, AN ENGLISH EVANGELIST SAID " FIRE IS THE CHOSEN SYMBOL FOR MORAL PASSION. IT IS EMOTION AFLAME. GOD IS LOVE. GOD IS FIRE. THE TWO ARE ONE. THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTIZES WITH FIRE. SPIRIT FILLED SOULS ARE ABLAZE FOR GOD. THEY LOVE WITH A LOVE THAT GLOWS. THEY BELIEVE WITH A FAITH THAT KINDLES. THEY SERVE WTH A DEVOTION THAT CONSUMES. THEY HATE SIN WITH A FIERCENESS THAT BURNS. THEY REJOICE WITH A JOY THAT RADIATES. LOVE IS PERFECTED IN THE FIRE OF GOD." Fire is often a sign of God's presence in the Bible. The songwriter said I've never rained fire down from the sky, but YOU CAN with your sacrifice. Trough out the Bible we are told God is a consuming fire. Jeremiah said the word was like a fire shut up in his bones that could not be contained. John G. Lake said on his first missionary trip to Africa liquid fire pumped through his veins. When John Wesley was asked how he got the big crowds to come out and see him that he set himself on fire and they come to watch him burn. People are like kindling that is dry, cracked and highly combustible. Once they come into a contact with a life that is burning for Christ they will be ignited with the fire of God. All it takes is one spark to change a dry life into a life that burns with passion and purpose. YOU ARE A FIRE STARTER POSITIONED TO IMPACT THE WORLD. FAN THE FIRE WITHIN YOU AND YOU WILL FLING SPARKS AND IGNITE YOUR WORLD. GOD BLESS, LINDA
