Get on Fire

“Satan isn’t fighting you because you’re weak. He’s fighting you because you’re strong.” Amen!
If Satan wasn't threatened by you, he wouldn't be messing with you.  If you didn't scare him, he wouldn't try to stop you.  If we are lukewarm, Satan leaves us alone; he doesn't care about us.  But when we get on fire, that's when he comes running to try to shut us up. ;)  But don't let that stop you from getting on fire.  Don't let a fear of Satan be greater then a desire to get on fire for God.  Amen!

God I pray that our fire would burn so bright for you that the whole world would see it.  I pray that we wouldn't be timid Christians anymore that hide or are ashamed to speak up for you on our Facebook page or with co-workers or anyone!  God give us a boldness for you!  Help us to not fear man but rather to only fear you and seek to honor you in all that we do.  God don't let us get distracted by people.  Don't let us loose our focus on you when Satan uses people to try to insult us or to bring us down.  Help us to keep that fire burning.  Help us to keep fighting the good fight and running the race as best as we can.  Help us to stay strong in our passion even if other people say we don't have a fire or say we are lacking in anything.  Help us to see our own fire for you even if others minimize it or down play it.  Help us believe we really can be and are on fire for you. :) Help us to not worry if we don't have a certain gift that others have.  You gift us the way you see fit.  AND you give us the gifts that we most want.  Some desire tongues, others desire to teach etc.  God you know what will work best for us.  You know what can get us the most fired up for you.  Not every gift is meant for everyone.  God help us each to use the gift we have to stir up our own fire within us and within others.  Help us to not worry about gifts that other people have but to just focus on our gift and use it to defeat the darkness.  God you know that comparing just distracts us and brings us down.  We get uncomfortable when others are different from us but you created different gifts of your same Holy Spirit to reach different people.  Some reach others with the miraculous gifts and some reach others with teaching.  God help the war to end in the Christian church all over the world between the two sides.  You use both and both are good but one does not have to be what the other is.  We all need to accept being different and be ok with that.  There are different parts to God's body, the church, but all are important and serve great purposes.  Amen :)

May God bless you all!
