We are this weekend celebrating pentecost, this day the Holy Spirit changed His people from hopeful ordinary, yet fearful people into a supernatural, world changing flock.
The Holy Spirit changed uncertainty into a blessed powerful assurance, igniting the hearts with an earnest desire for holiness and deep need to please God.
What does fire do?
1. Fire burns away dross and impurities. So does the Holy Spirit fire, once our hearts and minds are exposed to it through God’s Word, renewal and regeneration takes place, removing the dross and filth it has been engulfed in and allow the Holy Spirit to mold our attitude and way of thinking into Christ likeness.
2. Fire sets things ablaze. Holy Spirit sets hearts ablaze for God
3. Fire gives warmth. That warmth of the Father’s love that brings you closer to Him and which will make you a powerhouse of love to reach out others by His unfailing love.
4. Fire gives light, that light which brings conviction and opens the eyes of the blind as others will see the light in you and they will be attracted to it, as you point them to Jesus.
5. Fire melts, it melts any longings that are not in the will of God, no more addictiona, no more worldly entanglements. Yes through the Holy Spirit fire you are free indeed in Jesus Name
6. Fire binds, fire not only melts but it also serves to binds, it brings our hearts to the Father and to one another as one family in Christ.
7. Fire awakens. Touch fire when you are asleep and see how fast you wake up. The Holy Spirit fire revives a weary and heavy laden soul and brings a fresh new wave of power and willingness to be all that God called us to be.
8. Fire is a source of energy, the greatest example is the ball of fire we call the sun. The holy Spirit fire boosts us with His energy and power to be a witnessing machine and to move in His calling for our lives.
9. Fire is passion, that is what the Holy Spirit dies, it instills in you a passion fruit in your heart for the Lord, for His people and a deep compassion for the Lost
10. Fire spreads and it spreads fast. One person ignited with Holy Spirit will set ablaze people around Him by the was he or she talks, lives, move and have their being
So let us pray for the Holy Spirit to set a fire down in our soul that we cannot contain that we cannot control, so that He will completely take over and use us for the glory of His Name and for the furthering of His glorious Kingdom.
