Fan The Flames
I am excited about what God is doing in the earth today. There is a fresh wind of His Spirit blowing across the land. That wind is stirring the embers of those who have almost had the fire of His anointed Presence extinguished.
Fire is very interesting. It takes oxygen to burn steadily and dies down when it is not being supplied. What was once a small glowing ember can become a blazing fire when fed and blowed upon. I am asking the Holy Spirit to blow the wind of His anointed Presence into people’s lives in whom the circumstances of life have quenched their fire.
The Holy Spirit wants to stir you to move into new heights of His Presence. That is accomplished by spending time with Him, doing nothing but waiting upon Him. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
Joy is the oxygen that will fan the flames again. And the joy of the Lord is our strength. Stir up the excitement of being with Him like the excitement you had when you first got born again. Do you remember the wonderment of being with Him? Do you remember how exciting it was to talk with Him and walk with Him? Do you remember getting up early just so you could be with the One Who loved you so much?
It’s time for all of us to respond to the love of our life. His name is Jesus and He is One Who loves us without condition and beyond measure. He is so kind and so patient and never tires of waiting for us to come to His side for a time of rest and refreshing.
Let us all make a fresh commitment to come into His Presence for no other reason than to be with Him, to sit at His feet, to listen to His words of encouragement and instruction, to read His Word quietly and ponder what He has done for us. It definitely will take an eternity to consider all that He has done and is still doing for us. For starters, consider this: He loved us so much that He died for us, suffered unmercifully for our sakes and purchased our life back from an enemy who was a tyrant.
I don’t know about you, but what Jesus did for me has become a fresh and new realization for me once again. What a God we serve! What a loving Savior we have! What an ever-present Holy Spirit we have as our indwelling partner!
For the next week, purpose in your heart and mind to spend just 10 minutes a day quietly considering all that the Lord has done for you and continues to do for you. It will make a gigantic difference in your life. For one thing, it will cause you to walk in life with a much more positive attitude and outlook. He does change the way we think.
