Leviticus 6:12-13 AMP ~ “The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it shall not [be allowed to] go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and offer the fat portions of the peace offerings up in smoke on it. [13] The fire shall be burning continually on the altar; it shall not [be allowed to] go out.”
God is calling you to put it on the Altar; the place where the fire never goes out! You have work to do! Get up and get at it, you can’t just be sitting around doing nothing, you have more to do than just offer your thoughts, you have got to pray and keep the fire burning! This is your job, to keep the fire on the altar of sacrifice at full blaze! It’s time for you to rekindle the flame that has been diminished.
In order for your fire to burn brightly, everything that’s not like God has to be found, cut, examined and laid on the altar. The ashes and residue have got to be removed and most importantly that fire, God said, “shall not go out.” Just like they had to do to the animals for the sacrifice, we also, must keep that fire burning, that is your ministry to God! We must praise, fast, pray and read His Word in anticipation that the voice of Heaven will break through everything in our minds, and our fire should not be faint it must be a blazing fire!
Don’t allow anything or anyone to stop you from walking with God! Steady yourself so that you can breathe upon the embers to rekindle the fire that God has put on the inside of you. Throw off all the weights of oppression that are causing you to be spiritually drained. Don’t allow the cares of this world to weigh you down and drag you into a place of complacency. Don’t let the fire of your faith die down because it will cause your heart to grow cold quickly and when that happens, it’s hard to get the fire burning again, and it takes a lot of energy and effort to kindle a blaze!
The priests had to add new and fresh wood every morning to fire, and it had to be in a certain order, it couldn’t just be thrown up there any kind of way. Well, the same thing applies to you, you cannot go to God any kind of way. It is time to refocus and renew the passion that you’ve once had for prayer, let the passion that God put in your heart come alive and burn again that His Glory can be released in your life!
Every morning it’s important for you to get up and add fresh fuel to your faith, by being in worship and prayer. You cannot afford to forego this part of your day, because If you wait until later, or only use a little fuel for the altar of your heart, you will burn out before the day is halfway done, and your fire will go out and you know you can’t afford for your fire to go out, to many things and people are depending on you and your prayer life!
Take your eyes off the natural realm, and look to the supernatural realm, which is unseen, it’s there that God will empower you to accomplish what He assigned for you to do. Today, receive the fresh impartation of His fire and allow the embers to reignited to a blaze. As you take the limits off God and what He can do, He will ignite a new passion in your prayer life, and you will experience His Power and Presence like never before! Don’t resist the change that is taking place on the altar, let the fire burn and allow His Word to penetrate your heart as fire is shut up in your bones and you just can’t keep it to yourself!
Let’s Pray:
Lord. Thank You, for the truth of Your Word and for this reminder today to keep my fire burning. Lord, I want the fire of my faith to burn bright and hot for everyone to see! Father, continue being the passion that fuels the fire in my heart. Father as You allow Your fire to consume my life, I pray that Your Word becomes an inferno in my life and that it will be a blaze for Your Glory to advance Your kingdom on this earth as I do what You have assigned me to do. Father, I pray that Your fire always burns in my life and that it never goes out! Father, show me today what to do with the fire that You have given me and how I can share my fuel to get someone else’s fire started. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Minister Jean
