Fire

Hebrew 12:28-30
28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our "God is a consuming fire."

Consuming Fire
it only takes a small spark to get a fire started
once that fire has taken place and starts burning it produces LIGHT and WARMTH

I believe that the spark has already started to take hold.
Yet there are soo many things that can put it out.

Let the fire spread
May this generation be the one where miracles are seen
Where lives are changed
People see and hear
and understand

but sometimes I gotta ask
Where is the fire that once burned soo brightly?
fire can't burn without something TO burn.
it needs fuel, a medium

WE Christians are the medium that God chooses to use
If there are so many of us then why isn't this WHOLE WORLD consumed in God?
Why isn't the fire catching on?

Is it because we're wet?
that is the only explanation
too drenched in sin
drenched in selfishness
soaked in fame
soaked in pleasure

Imagine if we could just get a small fire going?
If we could dry ourselves?
What amazing things could happen? can happen?
Will happen?

I see a Church that is burning so brightly it attracts people like bugs to a bond fire.
A church that prays, that shares, that burns everything it touches.
wouldn't that be AMAZING?

"Set our hearts on fire"
