KEEP THE FIRE BURNING โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Last Sunday, Ptra. Ruth delivered a powerful message about keeping our intimacy alive with the Lord.
๐ God is calling his people back to intimacy, hunger, and holy fire โ to become burning believers again.
โ The greatest danger is being spiritually asleep while looking like you're spiritually active. Often times, believers function without the hunger for Jesus. We must not wait for the next service, for the next church gathering to have an encounter with God. It must be our daily discipline every day.
๐ฅ God is an All Consuming Fire. He consumes everything in us that is not holy.
โญWithout the presence of God:
- worship becomes performance
- preaching becomes information
- ministry becomes duty
- church becomes routine
1. We must keep our altar BURNING. [Lev 6:8; 12,13]
"The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the burning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it."
Our intimacy with the Lord cannot be borrowed nor shared. Our oils need to be refilled every day. We need to have our own oil. We cannot rely on each other's anointing.
2. Remove the ASHES. [Lev 6:11]
"Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean."
Ashes symbolize:
- old sin
- compromise
- old minset
- past encounters
We must remove the ashes because it SUFFOCATES the FRESH FIRE.
Add wood to the fire every single day. Offer up a sacrifice [of holiness, forgiveness, obedience, and devotion] at the altar โ it is the one that sustains the fire.
God is calling us to become hungry believers again. A sign of death [spiritually] is the lack of hunger. Dead things do not hunger. You will not be [spiritually] sleepy if you are constantly hungry.
The more you feed yourself with His Word and His presence, the more you hunger and thirst for an encounter with the Lord every day.
"For in Him we live and move and have our being." - Acts 17:28
Praise God for His powerful Word!
