Three men are at the pool.
One of them is afraid to go in so he wades in the water with his feet.
One of them heads to the kiddie pool and goes in. He’s waist deep in the water. He splashes around there.
Kids look at him as the intruder that he is.
One of them asks, "Hey mister, why are you in the kiddie pool?!"
Sheepishly, the man responds, "I like it here."
The kid says to him, "But you don't belong in the kiddie pool."
The other kids chime in with agreement.
The man is ashamed. He leaves the kiddie pool and joins the man who is wading with his feet in the water.
The kids look on and shake their heads. They go on about having their pool fun.
Meanwhile, the third man is in the deep part of the pool. He has dived off the diving board with daring moves and exercises. He’s swimming with strong strokes. It’s obvious that he is in a place of immense enjoyment. He’s having a ball with the other deep swimmers. It’s a blast!
The two water waders look over at the deep activities. The waders look at one another - "Naw" - they agree. They stay ankle deep.
That scenario is like some of what goes on in Christian communities.
There are those who desire to be ankle deep in GOD - a little something something with GOD.
Then there are those who desire to be in the kiddie pool - about waist deep - - some more of GOD but not all of GOD.
Then there are those who desire deep water experiences with GOD - all the way in - fully covered.
Are we wading, kidding - or swimming in the high tides?
Scriptures from the King James Bible:
1 Corinthians 13:11
...but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

DANCE OF FIRE
I wrote the content on this blog with sincere and holy intentions with the knowledge that I had at the time... We live, learn and amend...as errors are exposed and more truths are revealed...
Only GOD is perfect. It's vital that you seek the Lord to expose any errors that you've embraced. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness to you and for what is necessary to do to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

Flames of fire dance joyfully as dreams of fervor conjure up images of red hot passion for the gusto of life.
Sizzle, spark, explode -
Fireballs light up the sky. Wow! a thunder flash with a clap -
The flames are vivid with the awesome glow of orange colors blended with yellow highlights that accent the blaze.
This display is the bomb torched with a rocket plan. Such rapture has lit our fire. We are dynamite on this journey.
Come on fire, fall on us. Pour your liquid potency. Ignite our souls that we may be engulfed with magnified intensity.
Blow up our hearts. Dance with us....
