Are you being smothered?

"Remember the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out." Leviticus 6:13

He will do whatever it takes to keep your fire from burning. There is a reason the Lord says he prowls around like a roaring lion waiting for someone he can devour. Not only does he prowl but he is like a thick suffocating blanket just waiting to be spread out and placed over your heart. Making your fire become almost non existent, lacking oxygen.

He will use any method possible, your past, present, and future. He will fill you with doubt, resentment, disappointment, and he will twist and turn your thoughts and others words even God's words around. Making you believe things that are so far from the truth.

He will continue to cover up your heart and the "Holy fire" as long as you let him. Until eventually you are so confused and vulnerable.

As for me he has filled my thoughts with doubt as though I am useless and giftless. He has led me to believe that I have no useful gifts that will benefit the Lord.

But today I can rest assured that I am of great value and full of some gift that does bring glory to my Heavenly Father. Though I am and will never be a Beth Moore I am a Kristi Morgan that only I will be. My Father has made me unique and I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I might not ever truly know my gift but there is one thing I know for sure and that is that I am a true child of God who is passionately in love with her Savior and filled with the "Holy fire" that can never be put out no matter how much Satan tries to smother me.

Prayer: Jesus thank you for reminding me of how valuable I am to You. Thank You for allowing me to be able to see how deceiving and sneaky Satan is. I know with the help of the Holy Spirit we can fuel Your fire to burn Satan so bad he will not just flee but he will flee screaming from the hurt of Your fire. Amen
