Around the time of Pentecost/Shavuot I was
worshipping the Lord and began to sing about the fire coming down on Sinai at
the giving the of the law which was the first Shavuot and about the fire coming
down at Pentecost. As I did I began to think about the previous blog post
about not abandoning the ship when God pours out His fire. As I did I
heard the Lord say, "If you embrace My fire and let it do its work, you
will no longer be afraid of Me, but you will walk in the fear of Me." So I encourage you once again to embrace
God's fire and let it do its work.
Our God is a consuming fire. I believe
that fire is the fire of His love.
Hebrews 12:28-29 NASB
Therefore, since
we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let’s show gratitude, by
which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29 for our
God is a consuming fire.
Fasten me upon
your heart as a seal of fire forevermore.
This living, consuming flame
will seal you as my prisoner of love.
My passion is stronger
than the chains of death and the grave,
all consuming as the very flashes of fire
from the burning heart of God.
Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire
being.
7 Rivers of pain and persecution
will never extinguish this flame.
Endless floods will be unable
to quench this raging fire that burns within you.
Everything will be consumed.
It will stop at nothing
as you yield everything to this furious fire
until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice
anymore
