TAKE STOCK IN THE FIRE

May 14, 2008

2 Timothy 1:6

That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].

Philippians 2:5-7

Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, but stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.

I heard the Lord speak two words: "Stock and Fire." Peering at what seemed to be a bonfire on the beach, I see people tossing wedges of paper into the fire as it ignites even higher than it was originally. I heard the Lord say, "take stock in the fire."

"Fire, fire, fire, I say the fire of the gift that would reside in you must ignite into a roaring wildfire, if you would declare Me, says the Lord. Ignite a burning within you to reclaim the gifts of what I have placed within you, for there is a burning in the Holy Spirit that would come upon you with a renewed fervency for the gift. Believe that I say, those who would cry fire, will become ignited as I direct the gift inside of you to rekindle once again. There is a feeling that will come upon you and an urgency to run forward in ministry. You shall be filled with the fire and fuel of the Spirit. Take stock in the fire. Fuel the gift inside of you by becoming more of the supernatural man I called you to be."

"There is only one thing that can stop those who would not receive the ignition of the Spirit and that is equality with Me. You can never become My equal and must submit yourself in humility as the gift that lays dormant takes flame. You will walk with Me in humility as I begin to stir up the desire to stir up the gift to stir up the flame to stir up the fire to stir up the passion of the Christ inside you. It's about Me you see. There is no equality with Me if you desire to use the gift frequently. Submitted in all humility with the glory that I shall place upon you, for there is a walk of humility that will guarantee what I have said. Toss your life in the fire and find it in Me," says the Spirit of the Lord.

Bless is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says....
