Fire in Christianity is a symbol of purification and light, and is often equated with the Holy Ghost.
In the book of Revelations,Jesus addresses the seven churches,once of which is Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
We have let out Holy Spirit Fire be flooded! We stopped public prayer in school FOR our children:we then stole the moment of silence from them,as well. We killed The Spirit of God's Freeing Spirit,we drowned it with babel. We decided to be politically correct ,and not say "under God':we have become as a fire gone cold,and as are prey for the predators of the dark,even actively engage,willfully and conciously in sin against our own flesh,let alone soul!
How then do we take back what was stolen from us? What do we need to do to CPR faith in God's Love? How shall we restore what was destroyed?
We beat our breasts and lament.
There is a way out from these chains. Jesus. Find the person we most despise because of their 'being holy' and ask for hot coals! Proverbs 25:22 points the way. In the days of that time & culture,man lived by fire,warmth,cooking,light to see by and very crucial:protection from the predators who shunned light. If your fire went out,you were in dire straights. A neighbor would bring hot coals to relight your fire.
Father,we ask that You Send Your people to go out from their own cozy campfire with Your Holy Fire,that all have their needs met and their souls restored into Your Kingdom of heaven on earth. It is in The Name of Jesus we both ask & thank You,aman.amen.

Proverbs 25
ReplyDelete20 Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
or like vinegar poured on soda,
is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.
Matthew 23: 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, g“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And ha second is like it: iYou shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 jOn these two commandments depend kall the Law and the Prophets.”
