Father Has No Apathetic Angels
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
Exodus 3:1-4 KJV
Fire Changes Everything
We praise the LORD for continual references to combustion throughout His written word: The Holy Bible, the KJV in English.
Flashes of light that give our spiritual eyes a glimpse of His Great Purpose in creating us.
Fire intrigues, and frightens, man because, however unwittingly, he sees himself in eternity, from a divine perspective.
That’s why Moses was drawn to turn aside to see the burning bush, that’s the reason the wandering Israelites fell prostrate and fearful at the foot of flaming Mount Sinai, why the Holy Ghost was poured out symbolised as tongues of fire, and why God’s angels are still constantly aflame reflecting His Glory;
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb. 1:6-8 KJV
Children of God On Fire
And every genuine believer in The LORD has the same fire in his and her heart, burning whatever is carnal, transient, and worthless. AMEN.
Understand that no one satisfies the LORD by fulfilling their ambitions, achieving their goals, or building an empire.
Throw those frivolities away, and yield to the Spirit of God: Let Him ignite you with the Fire of Heaven.
When Father lights your heart the only ambition you will have is His, the only purpose you live for is to glorify Him with your brief time on Earth.
First Love
Perhaps, you were on fire when you were born again, filled with joy, and eager to do Father’s will, but since then the things of this world have doused your furnace, and you are now empty and weak.
If so, stir the embers, turn from worldliness and sin, seek the fullness of God’s Spirit, hold nothing back, and the coals will ignite once again.
That’s precisely what the Glorified Christ meant when He said, in Rev. 2:1-7 KJV;
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Is That You?
Respond to God’s Word, hear Him, return to Him, your First Love.
God is Love, He loved you long before you knew He existed.
You were grateful and adoring when you were a babe in Christ, basking in His Mercy and unfailing Love for you.
You asked Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit so that you could please Him, and be an effective witness to those around you.
You received the Power Baptism with the same initial evidence as the 120 in the Upper Room. Acts 2:4 KJV;
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
That is the place you receive His Fire.
Where Romans chapter eight is the testimony of your life in Christ.
You sing these words with a heart forever free, because of the grace of God,
There is therefore NOW no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk NOT after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE from the law of sin and death.
Rom. 8:1-2 KJV
Free, free, free, My LORD has made me FREE!
Glory, Halleluia AMEN! Jn 8:36 KJV;
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
If you have not yet been set free from your guilt and sin, and you want to walk with God at peace, in step with His Spirit, you can know His mercy, love, and grace by Doing Two Simple Things…
And for those Christians who want The Power that Christ died to give every believer you can be filled with the same Holy Ghost who led and empowered The LORD Jesus Christ.
The Holy Ghost brings divine life and health to your mortal flesh, Romans 8:10-11 KJV;
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
No More Sickness
Whether you believe it or not, it’s an eternal fact: The LORD Jesus Christ bore your sicknesses in your stead when He hung on the cross.
Why?
To Heal You Now
The Prophet Isaiah saw it seven centuries before it happened, Isa. 53:4-6 KJV;
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew was an eye-witness of it being fulfilled in his day, Mtt. 8:16-17 KJV;
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Peter demonstrated it throughout his ministry, summarising the fullness of redemption by writing, 1 Peter 2:24 KJV;
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Wholehearted Believers
If you want to see God’s Truth confirmed in your life, you must believe His word wholeheartedly, you are going to have to repent from all unbelief and embrace those accomplished facts in your heart, only then will you walk in divine health by trusting in The Faith of Christ.
This blessing is for believers in Christ, it’s not for doubters who accept disease in their bodies, so they die prematurely, but when you perceive this truth, you will resist every attempt of the Devil to put sickness and infirmity on your mortal frame.
Make-believers assume we must die diseased and infirm: No, that is how the world perishes.
Father does not use; cancer, atherosclerosis, stroke etc., to bring His children home. His plan is that you walk in divine health, honouring His word, then when your ministry ends, He takes away your breath, so you are gathered to Him in perfect health, as a ripe harvest of corn, Psalms 104:29, Job 5:26-27 KJV;
… thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
