“Igniting Hearts” by Meghan Williams of Dyed4you Art
I sense a holiness movement coming and with it, the fire and glory of God. For those who desperately hunger and thirst for more of God—for all of God—He will come and ignite you. He will consume all of you in His fiery love! All of Him for all we are….
For those who are hungry and willing to become living sacrifices in His presence, God will honor their sacrifice. He will strip away and consume all aspects of the carnal nature with the fire of His love. He will burn away things you thought defined you but were only an illusion, a twisting of your divine nature as a child of God. God’s fiery love will seek and consume any misaligned thoughts, behaviors, ideas, and any false sense of self within you. These patterns of being have come from generations of a false image of God reflected in the world and imprinted upon you.
But God says, “No more! I will consume all until only I remain!” In His zeal for His beloved, God will answer the deep cries of your hearts. He hears your desire for more of Him—more of His presence, more of His heart, more of His ways, more of His kingdom on earth. Deep call unto deep. In response to your hunger, heaven will respond. God’s presence will descend from above, and He will baptize you with fire. He will gather the wheat (the mature seed of His Word sown in you) and burn up the chaff of the flesh (your carnal mind). He will prepare your inner being for the renewal of Christ’s Spirit.
For just as the Israelites had to construct the Tabernacle in the wilderness according to the precise heavenly specifications Moses received on the mountain, so your inner mind must reflect the template that exists in heaven above. Your mind must be renewed until it conforms to the blueprint and image of the mind of Christ. For when heaven sees its counterpart reflected on earth, it acts as a magnet. God will pour His presence into the ready and willing vessel.
Until now, the patterns of this world have influenced and shaped your mortal minds. But God says, “No more!” He is jealous for Zion, for His resting place—His people. In place of the false images and ideas His fire will remove, God will pour out the fullness of His nature—His perfect image as reflected in Christ. He will fill you to overflowing with Christ, and you will be One—one in Him, one with His firstborn son, one with all your spiritual brethren, one with all of heaven and earth. One new man.
Stamped and sealed with this fiery kiss of your Bridegroom, you will walk in a double portion of the might and authority of the Spirit, just as Jesus promised. You will walk the earth as children of God, as His kingdom made manifest. And through you, other souls will catch hold of the unquenchable fire of God’s love! Other children will awaken from their slumber in the dust and into their kingdom identities and destinies.
For this is the day of your unveiling. This is the time of the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. This is the hour for the kingdom of heaven to be made manifest on Earth! Step into your inheritance, beloved of God. For as you let go of the old man and embrace the one new man in Christ, Spirit will unleash the kingdom of heaven upon the earth through you. Through you, all nations will be blessed!
Malachi 3:1-4 (NIV) I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.
Malachi 4:1-3 (NIV) “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
Matthew 3:11-12 (NIV) I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Song of Songs 8:6-7 (NIV) Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Philippians 2:5-9 (AMPC) Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, but stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name….
