Scriptures are from the King James Bible.
1 Kings 18:38, 39
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

Today I read a post on her blog titled, "The Old Paths." In the subject post Susie asks, "Why has the fire stopped?"
I wonder how much we Christians are responsible for much of the cease fire and low burns.
After I finished reading the subject post on Susie's blog, I commented there about the fire matter, and informed that I would do a post. I didn't know that it would be today as I had already posted a topic today. Our Lord, though, quickened me to write it today. This is what He spoke:
"Some have asked, 'Where is the fire?'
"I AM the fire. Hebrews 12:29 says, 'For our God is a consuming fire.'
"Stoke your furnaces, and add solid fuel. Blaze for Me. Inspire Me. Motivate Me -with your holiness. Many say, 'God bless you.' I say to more, 'Bless GOD.' Seek more of My face and less from My hands.
"Who is ready for My Holy Spirit fire that is poised to launch in blazing explosive glory? Now is the time to gird up for the set time is now. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry - Habakkuk 2:3.
"Remember the ten virgins described in My gospel of Matthew. It says in Matthew 25:2-4, 'And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.'
Exodus 32:26 asks, 'Who is on the Lord's side?' 1 Kings 18:21 says, '...How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.'
"My eyes are upon all the earth. Revelation 19:12,13 says, 'His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;... And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.'
"Right now I have people at the ready for My Holy Ghost fire revolution. More are assigned to join. I AM a pure holy fire that cannot be quenched. Come blaze with Me - in holiness - forever!"
Isaiah 24:15
Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel...
Hebrews 1:7
..and his ministers a flame of fire.
Revelation 11:5
...fire proceedeth out of their mouth,...
Luke 12:35
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Ezekiel 37:10
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
1 Chronicles 12:8
...men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions,...
Joel 2:3,5,7
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:...
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:11
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel 3:16
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
PRAYER:
Glorious and holy Father, please help us to steadfastly be fully armored with what Your Word commands in Ephesians 6. We need to be vessels of honor who live holy - otherwise we cannot be of the camp that is in league with You to generate Holy Spirit fireworks.
You command us to be doers of Your Word. Our beloved COMMANDER IN CHIEF, we report to You for orders and for Your divine guidance. You never lead us wrong. Let us continue, please, to abide under Your shadow, Almighty ONE.
Thank You, Lord - Amen .

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....
Sandra

Here am I..send me.
I wanted to stop by and say hello...found your blogsite on Crown Of Beauty's blog..... enjoyed reading your post! : )

ReplyDeleteOH the fire of the HOLY SPIRIT blaze forth, blaze forth!!
Thanks for sharing this word.

I had a dream once. It was supposed to be our old family home but it wasn't one I had seen. We were having a family reunion. A river ran beside it. I asked if it ever flooded. Someone answered, "It used to flood all the time. The waters would come and wash everything away. It hasn't flooded in a long time." And my spirit whispered that it had been the Holy Spirit that had once washed through, covering the family - and it was needed flood again, washing away the debris, the dirt, the dust and bring life once again.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded me of that dream, but instead of the Holy Spirit as water, you use fire. The passion that is in that fire. I am so glad to read a Fire and Power of the Holy Spirit message where sometimes being quiet and gentle needs to make room for battle and movement.
Blessings to you. I am by from Lidj's - your post so blessed me there, too! I am glad to have met you!

@bluecottonmemory: Remember the old songs we sang, Some through the fire, Some through the flood, but all through the blood! What a beautiful memory that brought up.
ReplyDeleteGreetings -
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting.
@Marijo
...praising GOD with you, Marijo...
@Susie
It's a pleasure to know that you are in.
Love that Isaiah 6:8 reference!
@ So I Begin this Journey
I appreciate your visit. You are certainly welcome here.
@bluecottonmemory
Wow! That is deep - your dream. Our Lord speaks in so many marvelous ways!
You expressed, "I am so glad to read a Fire and Power of the Holy Spirit message where sometimes being quiet and gentle needs to make room for battle and movement."
Amen
Our Lord reminded me again today that He expects demonstration of lamb and lion attributes. JESUS is the Lamb of GOD...and the Lion of the tribe of Judah!
Blessings to you, too..
Thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased to meet you, as well, Maryleigh.
@Susie
I remember that song. Reading some of the lyrics brought back pleasant memories of the song. Thank you for reminding of those glorious potent words.
To GOD be the glory...!
Sandra, you've got me all fired up! Yes!!
ReplyDeleteLast week at church, I bought this necklace - the pendant looks just like a dog tag (that the soldiers wear). It says, "Fear Not." I'm starting to wear this - my dog tag as a soldier in the LORD of Heaven's army.
I LOVED this line of yours - "Seek more of My face and less from My hands."
I will be pondering that tonight - much food for thought in that statement. Our pastor talks about not wanting a "vending machine" God. I don't either. I just want Him...
GOD BLESS!
Another Spirit filled post, dear Sandra.
ReplyDeleteWe are truly in the days of His presence and outpouring,He who has ears to hear let Him hear.
Love
Lidj
Another great post Sandra,
ReplyDeleteYes, let us all be doers of the Word.
The Bible does say a lot about fire, doesn't it.
Thank you for sharing these scriptures and your insights.
Blessings,
Ken
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThe lyrics of the chorus of an old song we used to sing in the 90's came back to mind, "Blaze Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire. Flow river flow, flood our hearts with your grace and mercy, send forth your light, Lord and let there be life." I can't remember how the song begins any longer, it's been so long since I've heard it. (If anyone can remember the title of the song, please share it so I can look it up on line and get all the lyrics. It is such a powerful song.)
Just got the beginning of a one of the verses, "Lord the light of your love is shining, in the midst of the darkness, shining. Jesus, light of the world, shine upon us..."
I bring it up because if I'm not mistaken, it has embodies the appeal of your post: Blaze, Spirit, blaze. Set our hearts on fire!
Amen.
I remember the song!!! "SHINE, JESUS, SHINE." Yea!

@Sharon
Glad you are fired up for our Lord, warrior sister.
You expressed, "Last week at church, I bought this necklace - the pendant looks just like a dog tag (that the soldiers wear). It says, "Fear Not." I'm starting to wear this - my dog tag as a soldier in the LORD of Heaven's army."
Wow! I love that, Sharon. Are such dog tag necklaces readily available? Do you know where I can get one?
@Lidj
It is wonderful when our Lord fills us with His spirit. Glory to His name.
Yes, Lidj, I agree that "We are truly in the days of His presence..."
@Ken
Thank you for your kind words, Ken.
Yes, the Holy Bible does mention fire numerous times...
My prayer is that the fire of our Lord will blaze in abundance in our souls and that we will share the fire, in love...with others...
@Beverly
Yes, sister warrior, as you expressed,
"Blaze, Spirit, blaze. Set our hearts on fire!
"SHINE, JESUS, SHINE."
Glory - Yes, JESUS, PLEASE SHINE ON AND THROUGH US...
Thnak You, Lord - Amen
Hey Sandra - Awesome sister warrior of the Lord!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the necklace can be found at bobsiemon.com.
Just type in "fear not" in their search box, and scroll down - you'll find it. I think it's like $6.99 (not including shipping...)
I just love mine.
It makes me feel invincible...in the Lord!!
love you...GOD BLESS!
