Fire From Above
Fire From Above
I anticipate fire from above and below during 2005!
"And the angel took the censer, and he filled it with fire of the altar and threw it on the earth." (Revelation 8.5)
"I have come to cast fire upon the earth." (Luke 12.49)
"Everyone will be salted with fire." (Mark 9.49)
"Fire from the Lord out of heaven." (Genesis 19.24)
"In danger of hell fire." (Matthew 5.22)
I see a year in which fire will fall down upon us from heaven, and at the same time fire will come up out of the ground from underneath us; one kind from Heaven and the other out of hell.
Those who love and receive the fire from on high will be minimally affected by the fire from below. However those who care little for the fire of God (even though they might be Born again) will be burnt and harmed by the fire from below. We are free to choose what we love the most.
Yesterday morning I wept as I watched the movie "Soldiers and Saints"...the true account of the massacre of US soldiers by Germans during WW2. As I was watching it I was carried into the picture and out the other side to today. The Western world and its church's present crusader-like, warfare approach to the threat of militant Islam is going to fail. The killing of Islamic fighters is going to spawn even more and at the same time corrupt us.
Only our God who is "a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12.29) can save us now!
