I truly believe that we are entering a new age where the Earth will be governed by burning ones that carry the heart of the Father and live in a place called secret. We will begin to call those things that are out of order back into God’s creative intension. For far too long, the church has lived with too much passivity concerning how things are transpiring throughout the earth. We have been more concerned with how to have great church services than we have been concerned on how to manifest the image of Christ in the earth!
For far too long we have measured success by the standards of the world instead of the standards of the Kingdom. We have wanted microwave results that will ultimately lead us to build systems that will cater to the needs of man instead of creating an atmosphere that caters to the desire of God wanting to meet with man face to face. The reason this ideology is rampant in the church is because it’s much easier to create systems that make men and women feel good about their apathetic lifestyles than it is to learn how to dwell in a place called secret until we burn with hunger that refuses to feel the warmth from an inferior flame.
We will never see societal transformation until we are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to deal with the deep places of our souls, which will lead to a life that manifests the truth of what a renewed mind looks like, because transformed people transform territories. Hebrews 1:7- And of the angels He says “ Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.” We are taught throughout the Word that we are all Kings and Priests, and we have been given a mandate to first minister to the Lord and secondarily to the people that we have been given influence with. We have been given the responsibility to sit with Lord in the secret place until a fire ignites in our bellies that permeates throughout our entire bodies. The world will only be affected by people that have learned to burn in the presence of the Lord!
Revelation 1:14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire .When we are willing to get close enough to Him, we will see that the fire burning in His eyes is a reflection of His ministers. You have to get really close to someone to see what is reflecting in their eyes. I truly believe that we are entering a passionate pursuit to see the reflection in His eyes! Who wants to be a burning one??? Let’s go Burn together!!!!
