The Fire Inside!!

Today, I wanted to write something that I feel is very necessary for all of us to walk in. We must all walk in a NEW LEVEL of Intamacy with the Lord. God is looking for those that will truly worship Him!! Worship is a lifestyle, that is produced in your daily walk with Him. Elijah fought the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel at a time when most were not intimate with God. They were intimate with other things. He challenged the prophets of Baal to a showdown!! The God that answers by FIRE will be the true God!! He made a statement before this in addressing the people, "How Long will you be of 2 opinions?" I believe that is what the Lord is asking today? Who do you really serve?

When Elijah showed up on the mountain, I believe He was HOT with intamacy. He had been spending time with the Lord. He was prayed up, worshipped up and READY!! We must be believers that are ready!! Ready for the onslought of the enemy at any time. We ought to be ready when we get to church!! Not have to be pumped and primed to worship. If you live a life of worship, then you will show up on fire!! See, Elijah was praying for FIRE, but he already had fire in him!! When we really are intimate with the Lord, it lights a fire in us to become what we have never been, do what we have never done, and experience what we have never experienced before. I want you to see the picture here!! 1 vs. 450. Some of us everyday face huge odds, but be of good cheer, if God is with you, you are in the majority!!! I challenge you to become more intimate with God everyday!! Take your life to a new level and really experience the deep things of God!! Worship is one of the key elements of your life, remember worship is not what just what you do at church, its your LIFE!!

Get HOT for God!! Let a effectual and fervent Hot prayer come from your mouth!!! There are so many things God wants to do for you!! Become more intimate with Him and see what you have never seen before. This experience of Elijah to me is more about worship than anything else. He worships God by: Rebuilding the altar, providing a sacrifice, by giving a huge offering (4 barrels of water, drought for 3 1/2 years)(this was one of the most precious things around at the time), and praying with all FAITH that God was going to prove himself to the people. I challenge you: Become intimate and HOT for Jesus!! This will put the devil on the run!!
