"Keep
the Fire Burning"
January 22, 2020
Leviticus
1:6
And
the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in
order upon the fire:
In the
Old Testament every priest had a responsibility to chop down enough wood to put
it on the altar so "The Fire on the Altar" would never, ever, go
out--day or night. It was the "Fire on the Altar" that consumed every
burnt offering they had to offer. Let me ask you, "Can you imagine
carrying around huge animals all day and putting wood on the altar to burn, so
it will never go out?" Fact of the matter was, "If the fire went out
you were discounted a Priest in your service unto God."
Of
course, "The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross" was the Perfect
sacrifice and the Father consumed His Love for mankind and His Son "By
Fire!" It is written, God will be a "Wall of Fire" around us.
(Zech. 2:5) Hallelujah!
"The
Fiery Love of God would insulate all those who acknowledge God's Rest in their
hearts, through Christ Jesus, and is a a Wall of Fire around us." However,
as every believer lives in God's Rest and releases God's Word through Christ in
us, "His Word goes through that Wall of Fire and becomes fiery spears of
dominating potent prayer to consume our foes on every side." It is written
"His Fire goes before us." (Psalm 97:3) We are seasoned to guard
God's Rest in our hearts in powerful prayer as King's and Priests to keep the
Fiery Love of God burning from the Blood Stained Wood of the Altar--the Cross,
where the perfect Lamb was slain. Hallelujah!
No
wonder every enemy of the finished works of God's Rest through Christ in
us--wants us to keep our eyes on worry; sickness; disease; division; curses;
opinions of what people think or say--more than our position of God's Rest in
us through Christ as our Righteousness.
There
is an old sacred hymn we used to sing, "Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet
hour of prayer
That
calls me from a world of care..."
Confession:
Today I acknowledge God's Rest in me and that I am surrounded by a Wall of Fire
and insulated in Righteousness, through Christ. I take from His Fire to bask in
His Love and enforce & release the Fire from the Cross through Christ --by
speaking God's Victories and Word into my situations in my day. In Jesus name.
Amen.
