CHRIST MAKES FIRE STARTERS

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:27–28). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations What is mere physical pain, compared to a life ablaze with the joy and zest of Jesus? The gospel is a fire lighter. The Holy Spirit is not given just to help you preach eloquent sermons. He is given to put a flame into human hearts. Unless Christ sets you alight, you can bring no fire to earth: “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Jesus instructed the disciples not to do anything until they received “power from on high” (Luke 24:49). When that power came, the Spirit revealed Himself as tongues of flame sitting upon each one of them. Previously, Jesus had sent the disciples out in pairs. It reminds me of Samson sending foxes out two-by-two, as the animals carried torches for an arson raid on the enemy’s cornfields and vineyards. The disciples also were sent out two by two, carriers of the divine torch, fire-starters for God, scorching the devil’s territories with the fire gospel. They were new Elijahs bringing fire from heaven. Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke. Copyright © 2016 by Reinhard Bonnke.
