The word for today is - Fire !

Happy 4th of July!

The word for today is - Fire !

 

 You see, Jeremiah was called by God to be a Prophet to Judah, Jeremiah said, it's like fire shut up in my bones. You see this fire came by the direction of the Lord, it was sent from above, from heaven by God,"he rules over it"and "directs it". Now, that is powerful! That is the power of God!!! Read Jeremiah 1:4-5, Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Now, read Jeremiah 20:9,Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing (of holding back) , and I could not stay ( this means endure it) . And Jeremiah 20:10,For I heard the defaming (mocking or slander) of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. Now, Jeremiah 20:11, But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.   You have to understand this fire, it's "A Burning Fire"  it is the word of God and the Holy Ghost like a burning fire in your sanctified Soul, Heart, Mind and body. Wow! Now, Jeremiah cried out with Praise, unburdening his heart to God. He had faithfully proclaimed God's Word and had received nothing in return but persecution and sorrow. Yet when he withheld God's Word for a while, it became fire in his bones until he could hold it back no longer. When God's living message of love, salvation and forgiveness becomes fire in your bones, you also will feel compelled to share it with others, regardless of the results. You must do the will of God (speak His word) and know that the Lord is with me and you; this was the promise of God to this prophet Jeremiah. So, now read Luke 9:23-26, it says,And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.You never have to be ashamed of what you do for Christ. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!
