Sweeping Through Like a Fire

[S] Ezekiel 20:47 --
47 and say to the forest of the Negev, 'Hear the word of the LORD: thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched and the whole surface from south to north will be burned by it.

[O] While this fire may have been the consuming fire sweeping through, the power of God nevertheless is depicted here.  When His fire is kindled, there is nothing that's going to get in its way.  God actually gave me the picture of His fire of revival sweeping through our church as the Holy Spirit kindles our heart.  The flood gates are about to open up and God wants to move through our congregation.

[A] Continue to stay humble and keep focused on His cross of grace.  All the great things are nothing to do with our performance but His abounding grace poured into our congregation's hearts.

[P] Sweep through, Lord Jesus, in the midst of our congregation.  Give us the humble spirit to know that You are the head of our church and leading us into the wonderful presence of God.  May we praise and adore You!  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
