THE LIVING GOD A CONSUMING FIRE

#Fire consumes!  Just look at what took place in #Paradise, California.  Here in the heart of Georgia we have had #turbulence, #wind, #rain, and now #freezing temperatures which require so heat even in the south.  Wouldn’t you know my furnace quit on me.  I had to wait three days without heat during 20 degrees nights for a part to be delivered to the repairman.  Just so happened to have  a wood pile under the deck, but it was wet from all our rain.  Inside I had several dry logs which worked to get the fireplace started.  I had forgotten how much you have to tend to a fire to keep it going.  When I put those wet logs on the hot embers they really smoked; however, after awhile they still put out heat.  My son-in-law brought over a load of fresh cut wood and filled the wood storage for me – true blessing.  One forgets how awesome the warmth and beauty of a glowing fire can be.  When the wood is not prepared and cured then you get smoke in your eyes and a mess that your constantly adjusting.   All this took me to God’s Word and reminded me of the warmth and inner glow which He imparts to all those He indwells.  “Yet, once more, signifying the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.   We receive a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve GOD acceptably with reverence and godly fear: FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE”  Hebrews 12:27-29     May GOD consume our lives by removing the dross (sin) thereby leaving us with His beautiful warming glow that can radiate to others.

The whole world is #divided.  We see it all day every day at #work, at #school, and in the #news.  It is solidly divided between Believers and non-believers.  But, did you know that Christians are also divided between those that are filled with the Spirit and those who are not?  What is a carnal Christian and how can you avoid being one?  Is the Spirit filled Christian life just for a chosen few?  Why should we be filled?  How do we get filled?  What are some misconceptions that we have about the Holy Spirit?  How is the Spirit filling us similar but better than being intoxicated?  What are five results that every Believer can expect from being filled with the Holy Spirit?  Are you truly thirsty?  What is the difference between a vessel and a channel?

THE LIVING GOD’S SAVOUR

We detect #odors all around us.  Some stores not only have #perfumes inside but spray their classic #scent outside to entice buyers to come inside. They give away small samples which they hope will make you want that aroma.  I hate to tell you, but many of these artificial substances make me sneeze, whiz, and produce a whopper of a headache.  Ever been there?  I remember a family friend from my childhood would come through the door and give me a hug.  I would hold my breath, because she reeked with garlic – it was on her breath, pores, and clothes.  I was very aware of her presence.  Dogs can sniff out a person’s trail by their noses for we all have a distinct chemistry.  Have you ever contemplated that we have an odor to God?  11Corth.2:14-17 “Now thanks be unto GOD, who always causes us to TRIUMPH in CHRIST, and make MANIFEST the SAVOUR OF HIS KNOWLEDGE BY US IN EVERY PLACE.  FOR WE ARE UNTO GOD A SWEET SAVOUR OF CHRIST in them that are saved and and them that perish; to the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life.  Who is sufficient for these things:  For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”  May we choose to follow the real true words of God and ask to be surrounded with the sweet savour of the blood of the LAMB Jesus Christ covering our sins with purification!  Original ionization.!..

Pertinent means #important and #applicable and Brother Tommy is about to take us through all the important and applicable ministries of the #HolySpirit.  What are the seven ways the Holy Spirit is blessing believers?  How can a non-believer get a new birth?  How does a new believer get the power to do God’s will and work?  What are the four common elements of any baptism?  When does a believer receive the Holy Spirit?  What gives a believer security in their salvation?  How does the Spirit sanctify the believer’s life?  How does He invigorate our life?  How do we get filled with the Spirit as opposed to having the Spirit?  How do we produce the fruits talked about in the Bible?  How do the fruits differ from the gifts?  How does He provide guidance to believers?  Can we still be anointed?  What is a steadfast life and how can we obtain it?
