I hear your cry, says the Lord, to burn brightly in this world of darkness. Will you allow Me to add fuel to your fire so that you will burn fiercely? In this ‘burning’ I will refine you, getting rid of false assumptions, cultural compromises and your past. All the rubbish and lies which lead you astray along ‘dead ends’ will be destroyed.
Will you let Me do this? I will not burn you but you will be made pure to carry My Word, to speak with clarity and love. Remember the burning bush was not consumed and neither were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the furnace.
You are My beloved one, the apple of My eye and more precious to Me than gold. As others observe you in this process they will be drawn by your obedience, they will draw close to look again and they will find Me. Your obedience will open doors to their hearts and minds.
Activation:
As a daily discipline, ask Holy Spirit to highlight idols in your life which have priority over time with Him. Take time to listen well, and prayerfully consider the revelation. Are you willing to repent, to set this ‘thing’ aside for the joy of His purity in your life. This is a testing time but only such a time produces a testimony to capture the hearts and minds of others. Physically take this ‘idol’ off your body and put it on God’s altar as a sacrifice asking God to send His consuming fire.
So Moses said, “I must turn away [from the flock] and see this great sight—why the bush is not burned up.”
Exodus 3:3 (AMP)
He answered, “Look! I see four men untied, walking around in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”
Daniel 3:25 (AMP)
“The LORD your God is in your midst,
A Warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with joy;
He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins],
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP)
