On FIRE?

DanMan said:

About being "on fire." A big part of it is who is fueling the flames? Are you trying to get into the Word and pray because it's good for you? Or are you doing those things because you are seeking after God with all you got. Are you loving God with all your heart, mind and soul? Being on fire comes from one thing and one thing only: Your desire to know God better. And when you've got that desire, he fills you up and fuels your flame. But if you're going to church, reading the Bible, and praying because it's the Christian thing to do and you want to be a good Christian, it's like artificial fuel. It's not from God, it's your own efforts. It's like eating an artificial apple. YUCK! It comes only from God filling you ever growing desire to grow closer and deeper with him.

Tracker,


I have to agree that Being on Fire is a burning passion to live for the Lord. It like fire shut up in your bones. the lord wants us to be close to him. God is a jealous God--He does not want anyhing before him.

We must be passionate about reading the word, loving one another, and spreading his word---Like you can't wait to get out and tell someone about this fire and express your joy of the Savior.

I will keep you in my prayers. The fire is contagious--People will see you as a different person and want to know the joy you have.

hang in there.

Take care.
