Man-made fire?

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

The Lord has started a Holy fire within all those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. It is a Holy fire that will always be lit but will only be as big as we allow it to be.

Has the fire been lit within you?

Last night Garrett and I had dinner with an amazing young couple of whom the Lord has called into the ministry. During our conversation Ryan Burchett made a comment about the statistics of those who attend church. He said 80% of people who go to church are not Christians.

Wow, 80% of the people who attend church don’t have a real relationship with Christ, how can that be? How can we get up on Sunday’s and go to church, go into our Father’s house and yet have no relationship with Him?

And then it hit me, because there no Holy fire within, it is man-made fire. When the Holy fire is lit within us, there is no way we can walk through this life without being convicted, tested, pruned, and 100% completely changed. The Holy fire that is lit by Christ is not like any other fire, it is a fire that is constantly purifying us and is always revealing and removing the impurities. Man-made fire burns out, fuels off of self, and has little to no impact for the Lord.

Prayer: Lord I pray that the fire within me will be so big that all who are around can feel Your heat coming off of me. Amen
