*How 2 Maintain the Activated Fire in You.
1. Feed The Flames With The Word Of God Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4) This is not about the morning devotion we do with sleep in our eyes I am talking about hungrily searching the scriptures for the voice of the Lord within their pages. Search it with hunger ...allow him to explain the scripture for u 2. Stoke The Furnace With Prayer..... There are 3 things u need to have a blazing fire. Fuel, oxygen and heat. Prayer is the oxygen u use to stoke the flames high. Spending time in prayer is spending time in the presence of God, and the presence of God is the air that our souls need to be on fire. When you pray, you are breathing. You are taking in the vital element that gives life to your soul. 3. Worship The Lord With Extravagance....... One of the things that keeps a fire small is containtment. You cannot have a big fire in a small metal box. The way to break these walls of containment is to worship the Lord with extravagance . Go beyond your comfort zone... Offer up sacrifices of praise with your lips in greater degrees than u are comfortable with. Make praise and worship a true sacrifice of your self- conscious and self-inhibitions. Make a decision that u will praise God in a more vocal, uninhibited way this moment than ever before. If you need help praising God, play a recording by one of your favorite Christian artists and sing along. Challenge yourself to learn how to raise your hands, bow on your knees in worship, and even get flat on ur face..... These things will break down any walls of containtment where you are keeping the fire in a small metal box.... 4. Allow The Holy Spirit To Move.... The Apostle Paul gives us a very pointed exhortation in 1 Thessalonians 5:19. " 19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit." Is there anything in your life that is hindering the Spirit's work? Are you resisting doing something or giving up something that you.
