Kindle your Fire

When was the last time you kindled your fire? The fire you had when you were first saved? How do we rekindle the fire if it has grown cold?

Isaiah 50:11 says...

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

I don't want to talk about the last part of the verse. I want to talk about the first part. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. 

Our fire should be burning so bright for the Lord that sparks fly through the air. You know like when you build a bond fire and the sparks flies off the large fire. THAT is how we should live our lives. My Grandmother has lived her life like this. People from all over know who she is. They know her life and the love she has for our Lord. They see the way she has worked for the past 40+ years to further the Kingdom of God. She WALKS in the sparks of the fire she tends to on a daily basis.

When you build a fire to warm your house you start with the kindling then you add to it. Your fire started when you asked the Lord to save your soul from Hell. Now it is your job to keep the fire going. How do we do that? We do that by reading the Word. By praying. By private worship  and public worship. By singing out loud. Even if you think you cannot sing, you have the DUTY to sing to the Lord. It is what He wants. If you don't then the very rocks will cry out. I don't know about you, but I do not want the rocks doing my job.

Ezekiel 24:10 

Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

When was the last time you laid a big "night log" on your Spiritual life? Do you just have embers glowing? Take the time to build your fire up. I promise you that your life will be MORE. Heap on the wood, which is the prayer, Word and worship. People say that they want Revival yet they don't want to put in the time that it takes to spend with God. Jeremiah talks about the "fire, shut up in my bones" That Holy Ghost fire burning in your life.

Don't you want that? I know I do. If you do not have that, if you don't know Jesus as your personal Savior, I invite you to ask Him right now to forgive you of your sins, and to come into your life and clean you up. He will not let you down. .....Now...if you have done that, find a Bible believing church near you and go to service. You will need people of "like minded faith". Build up the fire that He has put into you. Now....if you have been a Christian for a long time but you have only embers glowing...you CAN build your fire up again. Lay on the kindling, then build up with the wood, It can be done.
