Open Heaven 6 August 2020: [Thursday] – How Hot is Your Fire
HOW HOT IS YOUR FIRE? – Thursday August
6th 2020
Memorise: So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelations 3:16
Read: Revelations 3:2-6 (KJV)
2 Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I
have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold
fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a
thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their
garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess
his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
Message:-
There
are three possibilities with your fire. It could be burning bright low or
completely out. If the fire is burning bright, be careful. 1st Peter
5:8, says:
Open Heaven 6 August 2020 – How Hot is Your Fire
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
1st
Corinthians 10:12 says:
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed
lest he fall.”

When
fire is burning bright, demons take note of it and are watching closely. Since
they cannot touch the fire, they await a time when it will burn out, so they
can pounce on the fellow. Make sure you stay connected to God (John 15:5).
If
the fire is burning low – you still go to Church, still look and walk like a
Christian, but inside, you know you are not as close to God as you used to be,
that is being lukewarm. Being lukewarm is dangerous (Revelation 3:15-16)
Revelations 2:5 is a great warning:
Open Heaven 6 August 2020 Thursday: Prayer Point
“Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and
repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
Cry
to God for a fresh baptism of fire if you have become lukewarm.
On
the other hand, if you fire is completely out – if you have gone back to the
filth of your past and are now doing those things which are completely against
the word of God, know that though you have drifted far, God has not rejected
you. The fact that you are still alive means He is still interested in having you
back. Ezekiel 37:1-10 makes it clear that dry bones can live again. In John
21:15-19, Peter missed it by going back to being a fisherman, but Jesus came to
meet him there and restored his destiny. Peter’s repentance was genuine; he
wept bitterly and was restored. You too can be restored if you cry genuinely to
God.
May
your fire always burn bright and never go out in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer Point
Father, please help my fire burn bright always
and never go down, in the mighty name of Jesus.
