Part 1 – Get God’s Fire

 

1. What is ‘having the Fire of God?’

The BIG Picture

A. What do you think the Fire of God is?

B. Having the Fire of God is being deeply and completely zealous, passionate, desperate, hungry, and fervent for Jesus by the power of the One Spirit who is Holy.

C. True spiritual Fire is a chemical reaction of 1. God’s touch on a person’s life and 2. their reaction/dedication to it

D. Having the Fire of God necessitates continually and repeatedly stirring up zeal for God

E. Having the Fire of God means giving the only reasonable response to the extreme call to give everything.

F. What is Fire, what is it about, what does it look like, and why is it important?

-It’s not just emo

-Let me wet you appetite…

-It’s about being jealous for God (zeal for house)

-Getting a hold of that passion in life that we were all made for

-What’s it look Like? Enthusiastic, but different and better

enthusiastic” [en_thu_siastic: meaning, “God-possessed.”]

-Having God’s Fire suggests that you are being consumed (Rom_12:1; Mk 9:49-50)

Having God’s Fire means being consumed for Jesus

 

God’s Fire answers the demand for zeal for the infinite God

 

The Detailed Picture in Languages

Hebrew, Greek, Spanish, and Latin are all alike: jealous/zealous = same word (unlike English):

 

Hebrew: “קנא (qânâ') G2205

Greek: “ζῆλος” (zēlos); G2205 (often: ζηλω);

Spanish: “Selo” (SRV);

Latin: “zelo” (Latin Vulgate)

 

2. God is Fire

Having The Fire of God becomes significantly more important when we see what God is like

 

A. Consuming Fire

Deu_4:24 KJV-Based For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

 

Heb_12:29 KJV For our God is a consuming fire.

 

Isa_42:13 Brenton  The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy [LXX: ζῆλον (zahlon) - zeal], and shall shout mightily against his enemies.

 

Eze_36:5 Brenton  therefore, thus saith the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken...

 

B. Light

1Jo_1:5 KJV …God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Jam_1:17 KJV/WEB Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Isa_42:6 WEB I, Yahweh…. give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles

 

Question: Where do you think that the light comes from? –We’ll come back to this…

 

C. Abrahamic Covenant

Gen_15:17-18 KJV And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram…

 

[Animal parts, covenant: Jer_34:18-19]

 

D. Burning Bush

Exo_3:2 KJV And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. (Also see: Angels ministering spirits/fire Heb_1:7; Rev_10:1)

 

E. Mt. Sinai (Mosaic Covenant)

Exo_19:18 KJV And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

 

Exo_24:17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

 

F. “Pillar of Fire”

4 Places: Exo_3:21-22; Exo_14:24; Num_14:14; Neh_9:12; Neh_9:19

 

G. Jesus’ Eyes of Fire & Seven Lamps Of Fire

Rev_1:12-16 KJV-Based And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shinning in his strength.

 

Rev_4:5 KJV And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

 

(Also in: Rev_2:18; Rev_19:12. Jesus the same as yesterday & forever: Heb_13:8)

 

H. More “God = Fire” verses:

2Sam_22:9; 2Ch_7:1-3; Rev_20:9

 

Transition…

I. God likes things to be HOT

Rev_15:2 – Sea of glass mixed with fire

 

Rev_3:15-16 WEB "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

 

J. We Should be like Him

Not only is He fire, and not only does He like fire, but He wants us to be like Him in fire

 

1Jn_4:17 NKJV Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness ß on the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. (Conversely: 1Jn_3:2-3) ß

 

3. We must have God’s Fire

Salt, Light, City, Lamp

Mat_5:13-16 Salt…You are the light of the world, city, lamp (all light was made by fire!!) ß

(“Salt” necessitates “Fire”: Lev_2:2-16, Ezk_43:24, Mar_9:49-50. Also Read Luk_4:33-35)

 

John the Baptist!

Joh_5:35 WEB

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

 

Filled with Holy Spirit

Act_2:3-4 MKJV-Based And tongues as of fire appeared to them, being distributed; and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

 

Zeal

Psa_69:9 WEB For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. [see: Psa_69:7-12]

 

After driving out the money changers:

Joh_2:17 CAB Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal for Your house will consume Me."

See: Jesus Got Angry

 

Fervent in Spirit

Rom_12:11 not lacking in eager/diligent/business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

 

Always Zealous/Right Zeal

Gal_4:18

 

Remember Phinehas Num_25:5-13,

Others: 1King_19:10, Pro_23:17, Tit_2:14

 

Call on God!

Isa_64:7 CAB  And there is none that calls upon Your name, or that remembers to take hold of You…

Ý

Awake and Shake ß

Isa_52:1-2 WEB Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments… 2 Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit on your throne, Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.

(Also: Samson Jdg_16:20.)

 

Fire Makes or Breaks You

Mar_9:49-50 WEB For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

(and compare previously: Mar_9:41-48 - Gehenna Fire)

Testing

 

So God’s Fire Means

Either get jealous for God, or get jealously consumed by God!

Purification or Punishment… It will Make you or Break you

See: What it did to Edom

See: God’s Jealousy Makes Hell (Deu_32:9-23)

 

Ax, Holy Spirit, Fire, Purification!

Mat_3:10-12 MKJV And now also, the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. But He who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; 12 whose fan is in His hand, and He will cleanse His floor and gather His wheat into the storehouse; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Also Luk_3:16-17)

 

Trials That Purify

1Pe_1:7 KJV That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

 

Division Fire

Luk_12:49-53 WEB "I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled. 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. 52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

 

Note: if you are not getting persecuted by the church (at least eventually), you can be sure you are not proclaiming the Division Fire of Jesus’ Truth to them.

Phinehas

Num_25:10-13 CAB  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,  11  Phinehas the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused My wrathH2534/G2372 to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealousH7065 [ζηλωσαιG2206 / ζηλονG2205] among them*, and I did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousyH7068 [ζηλωG2205]. 12  Therefore say, Behold, I give to him My covenant of peaceH7965 [εἰρήνηςG1515, as in peacemaker: Mat_5:9-12: εἰρηνοποιοίG1518];  13  and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealousH7065/G2206 for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

 

*Greek: ζηλῶσαίG2206 μου τὸν ζῆλονG2205 ἐν αὐτοῖς

Hebrew: Same Hebrew >>and Greek?? word used for jealousy! (Examples: Gen_30:1; Num_5:14 & Num_5:30)

 

Psa_106:30-31 CAB  30  Then Phinehas stood up and made atonement, and the plague ceased.  31  And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations forever.

 

(Also compare the actions of Nehemiah: Neh_13:23-25)

 

Phinehas was a real peace doer like Mat_5 says! You want real peace??

>> DO a peace that was not there before!

 

Mal_2:6  The [a] law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity [lit. unrighteousness, or as NETS has it, “injustice”] was not found in his lips: he walked *before Me directing his way* [NETS: “uprightly with me”] in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness [ἀδικίας – same word as before]. 

- Have salt in yourselves (as seen previously under “Fire Makes or Breaks You”)

- through fire on the earth! (as seen previously under “Division”)

- not like the world gives…

- john the bap…

 

>> most church people think you should “have SUGAR in yourselves and be at peace among yourselves” but the Bible says…

>> Have SALT in yourselves (like Phineas) and be at PEACE with one another

 

John the Baptist -- Wild & Burning!

Mar_1:2-6 WEB As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face… 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness… 4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. 5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him… 6 John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey.

 

Joh_5:35 WEB [About John the Baptist…] ß ß

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.

 

Jeremiah

See Jeremiah’s persecution below

 

Road to Emmaus – Does the “Opening” of the Scriptures Burn in You?

Luk_24:31-32 KJV And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

 

Paul & Epaphras - Zealous/Jealous for the Body of Anointed One

2Co_11:2 KJV For I am jealous2206 [zealous] over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

 

Fervent Prayer

Col_4:12-13 KJV Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

 

(compare earlier in chapter 4: Col_4:6 - From Favor to Fire)

 

The Apostle John

(Remember? Rev_1:12-16)

 

Kamikazes For Jesus?

 

Kamikazes always produce fire! (911)

 

But for us…

 

“…the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, (2Co_10:4 MKJV).”

 

And there is a right and a wrong way to burn…

Let’s compare Kamikazes with getting angry… Did Jesus ever Get Angry?

 

Jesus’ Anger Foreshadowed in the Psalms

Psa_69:7-12 CAB  For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face.  8  I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.  9  For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You have fallen upon me.  10  And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.  11  And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.  12  Those that sit in the gate talked against me, and those that drank wine sang against me.

 

Repeated in Psalm 119

I had to correct this translation from the Greek LXX:

 

Psa_119:139 CAB  Your [the] zeal [ζῆλοςG2205] [for your house]* has quite wasted me; because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

 

[* “ὁ ζῆλος τοῦ οἴκου σου” – same as Psa_69:9]

 

This Means Jesus Got Angry

Joh_2:14-15 CAB And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there.  15  And having made a scourge out [ἐκ] of cords, He drove* [ἐξέβαλεν (exe-ballen) – lit. threw out (fig. drove)] them all out [ἐκ] of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and He poured out [ἐξέχεε] the coins of the moneychangers, and He overturned the tables.

 

* “Cast Out” Analysis

This “Cast out” word is extremely stoked with connotations beyond even the provocative astonishment its literal (actual) rendering causes:

 

·          It may be somewhat spiritual (and or “so-to-speak”) as in: Mar_1:12; Mat_9:25; Gal_4:30; Mat_9:38; Luk_10:2; Jam_2:25; Luk_6:22; Mat_12:20; (from Isa_42:3); Mat_12:35; Luk_10:35

·          It can even be a kind act (i.e. when the “exit” (εξ) is shared (εξαγει/εμπροσθεν) with the “caster” Himself): Joh_10:3-4

·          Or it could be literal and or figurative at the same time, as in: Joh_9:34-35; Act_16:37; 3Jo_1:10 (stronger literal in this case); (compare Mar_9:47) 

·          But it may very well be literal as in “He overturned the tables”;

·          this is very powerfully seen in the following examples where this word is used: as in Mar_1:12]

·          Particle out of eye: Mat_7:4-5; Luk_6:42

·        Demons: Mar_16:9; Mar_7:26; Mat_7:22; Mar_1:34, Mar_1:39; Luk_9:40

 

 

Mar_11:16-17 CAB And [He] would not permit that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple.  17  And He was teaching, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a 'den of thieves!' " [also in Mat_21:13]

 

Joh_2:16-17 CAB And He said to those selling the doves, "Take these things away from here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"  17  Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "The zeal for Your house will consume Me."

 

Jesus Got Angry Over Their Unwillingness for Him to Heal

Mar_3:4-5 CAB Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent.  5  And looking around at them with anger [οργηςG3709], being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

 

G3709 ὀργή orgē or-gay'

From G3713; properly desire (as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind), that is, (by analogy) violent passion (ire, or [justifiable] abhorrence); by implication punishment: - anger, indignation, vengeance, wrath.

 

Summary of Anger

·        Jesus flips over the tables, (Joh_2:14-17; Mar_11:16-17) and gets mad over unwillingness to approve of healing on the Sabbath (Mar_3:1-5). We should be like this too.

·        In all of this remember: be angry, and don’t sin: Eph_4:26 [Moses struck the rock (Num_20:7-13)]

·        Right anger is a critical sign of Biblical zeal. (Compare: Luk_6:22, Luk_6:26)

·        Also See: Paul’s anger over idols (Act_17:16 – G3947 παροξύνω)

 

 

Elkanah

A Hebrew name “Elkanah = “God has possessed” or “God has created”” (BDB)

אלקנה from H410 [El] and H7069 [Kanah]

 

H7069 קנה qânâh kaw-naw'

A primitive root; to erect, that is, create; by extension to procure, especially by purchase (causatively sell); by implication to own: - attain, buy (-er), teach to keep cattle, get, provoke to jealousy, possess (-or), purchase, recover, redeem, X surely, X verily.

 

Wasted Without Fire

If you do not yet have the Fire of God, If you have been settling for less, then the sad news is that you’ve been duped to giving your life away to worthlessness. But the good news is, you don’t have to stay that way!

Is what your living for worth dying for? If not, then it’s not worth living for either. Jason Dueñas recently spoke on “wasted” (Don’t waist your life)

 

Guard against getting wiser than your youthful zeal. Any “wisdom” that casts scorn on more zealous beginnings is a purest form of utter foolishness.

 

5. The Salvation of Fire

Add: Solomon showed that the proof of a real mother was that she could not bear to see her child cut into.

the proof of a real christian works the same way...

How emotional are we about the truth of Jesus? To this same degree we are real christians. But so many want to come along and claim relation to Jesus and we act like we are wise if we condemn Solomon's skepticism!

12/17/10

 

Test Your Salvation in General

--fromFear God” in the “Repent of Words” Bible study--

2Co_13:5 WEB Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don't you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified G96. [αδοκιμοι G96 (adokimos) – that is, “not” (a) “aproved” (dokimos)]

 

Ú Don’t be too offended and proud than to examine your Salvation!

Ú He’s not asking you to do anything that he’s not willing to do himself (Compare Gal_2:2; 2Jn_1:8-9)

 

1Co_9:27 WEB but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected G96. [αδοκιμος G96 (adokimos) – that is, “not” (a) “aproved” (dokimos)]

----

 

So how Does “Testing” Relate to FIRE?

Rev_3:14-20 EMTV  "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write, 'These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God:  15  "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot.  16  Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth.  17  Because you say, 'I am wealthy, and have become rich, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,  18  I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been tried by fire, so that you may become rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and eye salve, so that you may anoint your eyes, in order that you may see.  19  As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.  20  Behold, I stand at the door and I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and I will dine with him, and he with Me.

 

[Entire context: Rev_3:14-22]

 

They are not Zealous

Rev_3:15 - works not hot or cold

Rev_3:16 - lukewarm = spit out

Rev_3:19 - be zealous [“ζηλωσον” (zḗleue); Greek: Imperative V-AAM-2S or V-PAM-2S] & repent

 

Why are they not zealous?

The Extreme Devotion of Fire

Luk_14:25-27 WEB Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple. 27 Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.

READ Verses 28-32

 

Luk_14:33-35 MKJV So then, everyone of you who does not forsake all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple. 34 Salt is good, but if the salt has become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? 35 It is not fit for the land, nor for manure, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. -Read: Mat_10:31-39-

 

Mat_10:37-39 WEB He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. 38 He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

 

Jesus Doesn’t Jive With Quick Shallow Commitments

[Taken from “Connection” teaching]

 

Mat_8:19-23 WEB A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." 20 Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." 21 Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father." 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead." 23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

 

Eat flesh drink blood, Joh_6:1 (ect)

 

Remnant Mentality

[from “Foundations” teaching]

 

Rom_9:27 WEB Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved; [See Isa_10:22]

 

Remember He says later:

Isa_64:7 WEB There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you

 

[The remnant is specifically mentioned 16 times as a theme throughout Isaiah. Do you see that the remnant is the few who stir themselves up?]

6. Summary of this Salvation

 

Fundamental Call

Fire is at the very core of the basic fundamental call to follow Jesus

This Basic Call to discipleship, the only way to not be “spit out”

 

The Wrong Question

So many ask the wrong question: “Are you saved?” “Are you Born Again?”

When we should be asking, “Are you completely burning hot for the real Jesus, and are you and purified from all sin?”

 

Be Ready

Be ready, or get cut into pieces (Mat_24:40-51)

 

Only Option

Fire is not optional. It’s not just something cute that youth groups get pumped up about.

 

Going extreme for Jesus is the only way to live

 

“The church has been sub-normal for so long that when anyone gets up to a healthy normal temperature, they think he’s got a the flue!”

(Lenard Ravenhill)

 

Few answer this call… Few will Make it!

Luk_13:23-24 WEB; also think Joh_12:39 “Could not believe…”

>> Remnant!

 

[repeat]

Isa_52:1-2 WEB Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments… 2 Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit on your throne, Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.

(Also: Samson Jdg_16:20.)

 

7. Enemies of Fire

A. Examples:

Laziness… Complacency… .

 

B. TV

Don’t expect God to give you that truly adventurous life of his fire if you are still filling Your mind and desires with its counterfeit portrayed on TV!

we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spirits and powers and…” (Eph_6:12)

ð Samara Story: “why do some parents lie to their kids about Santa Claus?”

[Because they are not living the adventure of Jesus]

 

C. Lack of Love for Holiness

Heb_12:14 ISV “Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”

(Similar to Principal: “The Holy Spirit never makes light of sin.”)

 

Don’t think that you are going to get the real fire from God without holiness;

You won’t even see Him

 

Kid’s Quest Story (“Without holiness…”)

 

8. Fake, Strange Fire

Lev_10:1-3 WEB Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, "'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, And before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.

 

A. Self/Demon-generated

Often burns solely off of emotions, not the reality of obedience to God. · Often puts value on your loud personality instead of the depth of True fire.

 

B. Doesn’t last

(“they look like they are on fire!” – But they soon “burn out” )

Mat_13:5-6 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. [Not remaining fruit: Jn 15:16]

 

C. It allows Sin

When someone is “On Fire!” and they have sin in their life, then it is the fake defiling fire based on sinful man. Unredeemed emotions quickly and easily counterfeit God’s Holy Spirit, in an unholy way.

Think: Vega Story in Puerto Rico (Kissing in basement then… “God really moved today in church!”)

 

D. Loud people,

especially former drug addicts/street people are much more prone to it

 

9. Repent Of Zeal

 

Summaries of Huge Passages

Gal_5:20 – Works of the Flesh (ζῆλοι, θυμοί,)

Jam_3:14-16 - Bad Zeal is, selfish, soulish, demonic

Jas_4:1-2 - Lust makes bad zeal: "ἐπιθυμεῖτε" (v. 2a) > "ζηλοῦτε" (v. 2c)

Jas_4:5 - God's Passion (ἐπιποθεῖG1971) vs. your zeal:

See: Heb_10:27; Zep_1:18; Zep_3:8;

Rom_10:1-3 - Israel's Zeal (and see Saul's: Phi_3:6)

2Sa_21:1-11 – Saul’s Punished, wicked, Counterfeited Zeal

Gal_4:17-18 - Zealously affected in Good thing (Mat_23:15)

Rom_16:18; Phi_2:21; - Religion of own belly (Luk_14:25)

 

“Zeal” – Used as (bad) Jealousy

Act_5:17; Act_13:45; Rom_13:13;... Gal_5:20;... Gal_5:20

> From: “...meaning envy, jealousy, anger (Act_5:17; Act_13:45; Rom_13:13... Gal_5:20... with éris (G2054), contention... Gal_5:20).”

(Word Study excerpts on G2205)

 

Warning Examples Of bad Zeal

Gen_4:1-16 - Cane Murders Abel

Especially:

Gen_4:4-7 - Offering (Heb_11:4 - by faith)

Gen_4:8-12 - Murder

1Jn_3:12 - …and why did he slay his brother? (unrepentant zeal for personal religious works)

 

Mal_2:11-13 - Profaned holiness of the Lord… (He Love you, and His holiness, but you like a prostitute profane His holiness as my relitve did to their brother, to polute their kindness unto you)

 

Be Warned!

If you are zealous for your own things, you will always rage against the truth and anyone who ever seems to represent it.

(Luk_6:11; 2Ki_19:27-28)

 

Do not zealous (Jealous, envying) to preserve yourself against people (1Co_13:4) or truth (Jam_3:14).

 

Repenting of zeal may make more sense if we look at the application of the word "Passion":

 

Good And Bad Passion

Luk_22:15 – Pain linked to Passover: “πασχαG3957”/ “παθεινG3958

Uses: ἐπιθυμία = desire/lust

Act_1:3 – “παθεινG3958,” translated as the word “passion” (KJV)

1Th_4:5 – “πάθει” - Passions... of lust; (compare: Rom_1:26; Col_3:5)

Uses: ἐπιθυμία = desire/lust

> For a translation analysis: see no dating (Scrip & List); Sin Lists; Woes of Wordiness;

 

Same word used for sorrow...

Job_30:31; Pro_25:20

And especially see how it is used here!:

2Co_7:7-12 - "ἐπιπόθησιν"G1972 (2Co_7:7; 2Co_7:11)

(Compare: Jas_4:1-2, -above-)

Etymology: G1972 < G1971: ἐπί + ποθέω

 

Good Zeal

2Co_11:2-4 - Godly zeal

Col_4:6 - From Favor to Fire (Col_4:12-13)

Mar_9:49-50 - Fellowship of Fire (REAL Love and Peace!)

 

Summaries

Pain = Passion > Desire (Lust) > Zeal (Jealousy/ Envy) > Fire of God (brought by Grace Col_4:6) or Fire of Hell (Brought by sin Deu_32:9-23; Heb_10:27)

 

If you have Proper Passion, it Produces Powerful Pursuit; But Poisoned and Polluted Passion Produces Permanent Perdition

 

So what does this have to do with “Love”

Php_4:1 – “Longed for” - Hurt with loving passion for people who hurt to be with Jesus (compare: Rom_8:23)

 

10. True Fire

A. It burns bugs (Exo_3:2)

 

B. Jeremiah’s Fire/Zeal

Depressed…

1Ki_19:4 WEB But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take away my life

 

But still Truly Zealous…

1Ki_19:14 KJV And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

(Zealous, but obviously not based on Emotion)

 

C. It is deep and It remains: Joh_15:16

 

Part 2 – Fire & Spiritual Understanding

 

1. The Proper Use Of Emotion

Courage is Proceeded by Consolation

Emotional Courage is Proceeded by Psychological Consolation (Healing of the Soul) and Corporate freedom is Promoted and Encouraged by corporate Faithfulness

 

- Speaking to one another in psalms…

- if you want to promote Fullness, then be faithful and provide a basis for trust.

- I cannot not trust anyone in a NT sense when I guard and sympathize with myself more than they do; (same holds true for sharing possessions)

- We are not emotional prostitutes here as so many “free” Pentecostals who are sure they have corporate approval because they never take a controversial stance. Such freedom is a shallow illusion made of fluff and only works when you are impressed with people who live in sin.

- Don’t be a willing party in despising, competition and distrust

 

Well, this is not quite emotion. But it is exuberance

- Speaking to one another (Eph)

- we need things like dancing

For things like that to happen, there has to be total trust, and for that, total faith in and for each other, which means total faithfulness toward each other. An environment of no despising. Safe and corporatly true, as the book of acts.

 

Story: one of the worst betrayals ever - laughing during communion.

 

A. David Had Emotion In Worship

 

2Sa_6:14-16 KJV And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

 

B. A Man After God’s Own heart

he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will, (Act_13:22 KJV; Also see: 1Sam_13:14; 1Ki_15:3, 1Ki_15:5).

 

C. So what do you think God is like??

--We see him in David--

Zep_3:17 KJV+ The LORD3068 thy God430 in the midst7130 of thee is mighty;1368 he will save,3467 he will rejoice7797 over5921 thee with joy;8057 he will rest2790 in his love,160 he will joy1523 over5921 thee with singing.7440

 

joy1523H1523 גּוּל גּיל gı̂yl gûl gheel, gool

A primitive root; properly to spin around (under the influence of any violent emotion), that is, usually rejoice, or (as cringing) fear: - be glad, joy, be joyful, rejoice.

singing.7440 H7440 רנּה rinnâh rin-naw'

From H7442; properly a creaking (or shrill sound), that is, shout (of joy or grief): - cry, gladness, joy, proclamation, rejoicing, shouting, sing (-ing), triumph.

 

D. And what did He command for us to do?

 

Mat_5:11-12 / Luk_6:22-23 – Rejoice in the face of persecution

If we rejoice in the face of evil, how much more should we in the presence of God?

 

Hebrew & Greek Words for Rejoicing:

Hebrew:

“H5970 עלץ âlats aw-lats'

A primitive root; to jump for joy, that is, exult: - be joyful, rejoice, triumph.” (Strong’s)

 

Used in 8 places: 1Sa_2:1; 1Ch_16:32; Psa_5:11; Psa_9:2; Psa_25:2; Psa_68:3; Pro_11:10; Pro_28:12;

Greek:

“G21 ἀγαλλιάω agalliaō ag-al-lee-ah'-o

From ἄγαν agan (much) and G242; properly to jump for joy, that is, exult: - be (exceeding) glad, with exceeding joy, rejoice (greatly).” (Strong’s)

 

“To exult, leap for joy, to show one's joy by leaping and skipping denoting excessive or ecstatic joy and delight… Often spoken of rejoicing with song and dance (Sept.: Psa_2:11; Psa_20:5; Psa_40:16; Psa_68:3).” (Word Study)

 

“G4640 σκιρτάω skirtaō skeer-tah'-o

Akin to σκαίρω skairō (to skip); to jump, that is, sympathetically move (as the quickening of a fetus): - leap (for joy).” (Strong’s)

 

Used as a reference to how to rejoice in Luk_6:23

 

Psa_5:11 CAB  But let all that trust in You be gladH8055 / G2165 in You: they shall rejoiceH7442 / G21 * forever, and You shall dwell among them; and all that love Your name shall rejoiceH5970 / G2744 in You.

 

[*Psa_5:11: “αγαλλιασονται” - not so directly marked in Stong’s, but almost exactly the same as “αγαλλιασθεG21” in Mat_5:12]

 

E. Self Control!

Think: “Spirits of prophets are subject” (1Co_14:32)

-If their spirit is subject, how much more their emotions!

-Emotions are fundamentally different than spirit, so make the distinction!

-“I just want to be lead by the spirit…” [Then have self control]; But we make ‘being lead’ out to mean: ‘I just want to be jerked about by my emotions .’ - If you are looking to be jerked around, you open your self to other spirits that will tickle your emotions. The devil will gladly give you an experience if that’s what will get you to take on a counterfeit “holy spirit”.

 

Exuberance of Zeal

 

In times of morning

1. "we hung our harps" - better to hang your harp than profane your rejoicing. - we can't do this pagan style now, like the Babylonians, we got to be monotheistic here.

 

Psa_137:1-6 CAB For David, A Psalm of Jeremiah. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Zion.  2  We hung our harps on the willows [see Isa_15:7 (MT)] in the midst of it.  3  For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away asked a hymn, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.  4  How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?  5  If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.  6  May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

[TSK on harps: Psa_33:2, Psa_81:2; Isa_24:8; Eze_26:13; Amo_8:10; Rev_18:22; – bank is the same place as Ezekiel and Daniel saw visions: Eze_1:3; Dan_8:2)

2. Because James says to rejoice at the right time.

3. Blessed be the son of David, because he will dance when there is righteous occasion to celebrate.

 

1Sa_29:5 CAB Is not this David whom they celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

 

2Sa_6:16 CAB And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the City of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw King David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

 

Also: 1Ch_15:29

 

 

2. Two Goodly Fires

· There is fire by choice, but there is also fire by Revelation!

ß

A. Two Well-established, Conversing Principals:

Rom_9:16 WEB So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

 

Heb_11:6 MKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek 1567 Him.

 

ß Hebrews Tangent About “Seeking” ß

Seek1567 ἐκζητέω ekzēteō ek-zay-teh'-o

From G1537 and G2212; to search out, that is, (figuratively) investigate, crave, demand, (by Hebraism) worship: - en- (re-) quire, seek after (carefully, diligently). (Strong’s)

 

Þ 2Ch_7:14 KJV If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways… (Also: Zac_8:21-22)

(This is important because these two principals reflect the Two types, or “aspects”, of true fire)

 

So What does this mean?

So anyone can seek God and find Him, but in the end no one can do anything unless God has mercy on the work of His hands, and causes it to happen upon His helpless creation.

Both of these realities are gloriously displayed in the Allegory and representative symbols of the Two Alters:

 

The Tabernacle

B. Two Altars

The First Altar is Sacrificial, (AKA: “The Brazen Altar”). Sacrifice is your choice, it is practically self-initiated, (though it is still a sweat smell to the Lord: Gen_8:21, Lev_1:9…, *Eph_5:2, Phil_4:18).

 

Psa_116:17 WEB I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.

 

(Also: Amo_4:5, “of praise”: Jer_33:11, Heb_13:5,)

 

The Second Altar is the altar of incense, where God has his angels add incense to our prayers, and they ascend before Him; The incense is an addition of Grace. In this fire we are God-initiated and closest to God. Without such from the Lord we are ultimately left to our own resources, especially when it comes to fire.

 

· The "fire on the altar" before the Lord is not the sacrificial altar, but the altar of incense and prayer.

 

Luk_1:8  CAB So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

Luk_1:8  ᾿Εγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἱερατεύειν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ ἔναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ,

Luk_1:9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was selected to burn incense when he entered into the temple of the Lord.

Luk_1:9  κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἱερατείας ἔλαχε τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου,

Luk_1:10 And all the multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

Luk_1:10  καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἦν τοῦ λαοῦ προσευχόμενον ἔξω τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ θυμιάματος.

 

Rev_8:3-5 KJV And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar…

 

 

The Example of Jeremiah

Think: all of the Prophets

Jer_20:7-9 WEB Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me. 8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. 9 If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain.

ß (Sounds like) ß

Psa_69:9 WEB For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. [see: Psa_69:7-12]

 

The Example of Isaiah

Isa_6:1-7 (KJV-Based) In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried unto the other, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 And the posts of the door shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, “Look, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.

 

The Example of The Apostle John

The fire that he saw in Jesus' eyes stayed with him!

(Remember? Rev_1:12-16)

 

Saul's vision of Jesus, fall: Act_9:1-9 (Jason + I thought of it at the same time)

 

Remember the Road to Emmaus?

Luk_24:31-32

 

This (alter) leads to revelation/ open eyes

 

D. A Comparison of the two altars

Can’t completely separate the two, but…

 

The first altar is bronze, but the second is gold, indicating the second is superior, just as revelation from God is to our choice to pursue Him.

 

Important Saying: There is nothing like sacrifice to catapult you into the fire of God, and even less is there anything that will completely consume, captivate, amaze, overtake, and push you over the edge into the fire of God like Revelation!

 

3. General Admonitions & Summations

A. Don’t get caught up and distracted by the glamour of being “On Fire”

If you do then you will never get it. [You’ve got to have Truth, and it has to remain]. –I’m NOT saying, “Don’t get pumped up”

B. It comes best by CLEAN Spiritual experiences! (Why do you think that the prophets are so zealous??)

[Because they have seen things from God!]

C. The priest will not start a fire on the altar until you first bring a sacrifice

D. The only way to do this is to pray! Many come to youth group wanting the glamour, but aren’t willing to pay the price. (Remember the ‘Fervent + Effective prayer’ of Jas_5:16)

 

4. More Scriptures/ Extra Thoughts

 

Israel Consume Esau

Oba_1:17-18 KJV But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

 

Shake and Awake

Psa_35:23 KJV Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

 

God’s Jealousy (Zeal) Makes Hell

Deu_32:9-23 KJV  For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.  10  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.  11  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:  12  So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.  13  He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;  14  Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.  15  But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.  16  They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.  17  They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.  18  Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.  19  And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.  20  And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.  21  They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.  22  For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.  23  I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

(More on Hell: Jon_2:5-7)

V: Changing Jealousy to Jealous seems clearer to me.

I think I like #1 so far

 

(A) could imply that the fire burns out of jealousy ; (B) seems to imply that jealous is a quality of the fire that is burning

(A) Jealousy Fire; (B) Jealous Fire

(A) Jealousy (Noun); (B) Jealous (Adjective)

(A) Adjective, Noun, Noun (B) Adjective, Adjective, Noun

(A) the focus is on the center word "Jealousy" (which is what i want)

(B) the focus is on the end word "Fire"

 

Hd: wife likes (B) in a "conversational sense", but might not accomplish the (A) idea

 

V: After repeating both titles over and over again I think I like B (Clean Jealous Fire) better as a stand alone title. I feel like A (Clean Jealousy Fire) needs more explanation or prior knowledge to fully get the magnitude of what is being said

The Shortest Path to Zeal

the shortest path removes excuses

 

>Scrip

isn't my word like a fire... what is the weat to the chaff

 

generally compare all of the words of the prophets how they are loaded with passion and with Zeal over broken relationships...

 

all of their profound statements are skipping the line of complacency and going straight to the point of zeal...

 

Jesus wants us to be like the prophets as well, and at the very least He wants us to be either hot or cold.

 

even "polarizing" is the shortest path to Zeal, because it gets straight to the point of whether you are in or you are out, and there is a lot of polarizing in the words of Jesus and the rest of the prophets.

 

---------------

...

what are some examples we have thought of?

 

>>Scrip:

show us the father

---------------

the shortest path to Zeal is the righteous posture of Justice.

 

this applies to personal prayer, as well as corporate prayer...

 

this has the great potential to increase your perception...

 

most of the time the things that are blocking us are issues of Justice, this is why Zeal can so often save us out of ruts.

 

if only Cain had gotten zealous about the Truth which God was saying, he would not have been stuck in the Injustice of killing his brother and not loving God.

 

 

 

---------------

 

Get indignant to always clear yourself.

Example: don't walk outside without clothes on.

 

Sometimes zeal is another word for real faith

 

Zeal Helps Perception

When you are faithful to remain addicted to this posture it can help your perception...

it can make you default to the right conclusions!

 

And what are you getting zealous about?

it can be summed up in one word: Justice

(remember Phineas again)

 

The Path

When we talk about it being a "path" we are including the aspect in which there are things that need to happen in order to reach the goal of zeal...

 

Don't drive faster than your skill set, nor be more zealous than your level of integrity and Truth.

 

Repent, get garbage out, then get up as fast as you can with Phineas and get zealous to apprehend Truth in front of you.

 

Indeed, your tongue may stick to the roof of your mouth, and you may sit in silence and be confounded for hours...

but if you at least maintain the obsessive goal of getting to zeal as fast as you can, then you can win.

 

The Extended Path

 

When you take the long path of procrastinating justice...

·         you are liable to commit sins along the way

·         you damage others with Injustice

·         you hold back the blessedness from those who more Worthy then your own theology

·         you delay and endanger your greatness

 

Zeal is The Answer

Like we have said numerous times before : Zeal is the antidote for depression

Just when you feel the most limp and Droopy, it may be time to jump!

 

How do you know when the Creator has assigned sorrow to you, as opposed to when you should instead be jumping up and rejoicing?

If the Injustice of complacency and the lacking of Zeal is ever happening in your sorrow, it is time for Zeal -- it has been placed upon you, and it has been required of you, from above...

 

1Sa_30:6 WEB  David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David ·strengthened himself [ויתחזק” – i.e. grabbed himself into strength/urgency; (KJV (fig): encouraged himself)] in Yahweh his God.

1Sa_30:6 CAB  And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, each for his sons and his daughters.

Agony & Beating Body

no Agony, no heaven

10/18/17

>> YT / Open Air

>> mk note in LO!!??

 

>> no, not the completely empty and vain “cross” taught with worldly wisdom of theoretical fairy tails of churchianity

 

Jesus taught that you got to agonize to get literal and 'hear and do' to enter into the narrow gate

~Sep-Oct 2017; 11/7/17 (compiled)

you must agonize in prayer to take a hold of "hearing and doing" to enter into the narrow gate...

this includes beating your body like Paul says in 1st Corinthians 9

God told Abraham to be perfect

Jesus commanded his followers to be perfect

striving to enter into this perfect narrow gate can cause quite a bit of agony!

heads up : I know there are countless Seas of mindless perversions and heresies that will immediately protest and contradict with all kinds of unbiblical blasphemy from worldly wisdom and perverted doctrines of demons...

 

this means that you have to enter into the agony of anointed one, witch agonized in the garden, or in other words, you have to take up your cross and follow Jesus to the Cross to even be a candidate for being a disciple, or as Paul says as well, you got to beat your body in willingly crucifying yourself to run in such a way as to win.

 

>>Scrip:

If we are conformed to the likeness of his death… also resurrection

 

>> no agony, no saving resurrection

>> i.e. in the end: you are not saved!

 

how do you know when you have succeeded in truly entering into anointed ones agony?

 

not when you are a goofy Pentecostal or charismatic preacher who Huffs and puffs with made-up imaginations and hyped up pep talks!

vainly fantasizing in your own drama of shallow imaginations produces nothing but deception and counterfeits and falsehoods and more of the same sin that the world is already drowning in.

 

the way that you know that you have entered into anointed one's Agony is, as Jesus and Paul both teach, that you are truly crucifying your flesh to sin, or even as Peter says that he who has suffered In the Flesh has ceased from sin! (1Pe_4:1)

 

when you take up your cross willingly by faith in the spirit through prayer, truth is accomplished in your mortal body, and what is done in clean truth in the spirit results in real fruit in your life when you are dead to sin and walk away from living in crimes.

 

one who is gluttonize in evil cannot find any power within himself to cease from sin. but one who has fallen in love with the anointed one, and taken up his cross together with the truth, and has been deep and real and spiritual enough to apprehend crucifixion by faith, he has denied the pleasures of this life and starved out the lust of evil together with anointed one in the wilderness of fasting and prayer, and clean abstinence from the fornication of this life...

 

the agonizing and suffering In the Flesh together by faith with anointed one causes a person to die to the Flesh and achieve freedom from sin, so that, unlike the fairytale superstitions that everyone else believes, the agonizing of anointed one only leaves truth and perfect an absolute Purity behind.

 

The Honorable Agony of anointed one leaves absolutely no room for the perversions of shamefulness  and evil.

 

you know when there is lo

Zealous Fighting or Lazy boy Religion?

YouTube

8/10/17; 11/7/17

-- Under Construction --

 

You have your pretty, well-composed smart-sounding religion, but you are dead!

You have your hypocritically civilized faith which so conveniently flatters itself into complacency…

The real Jesus takes up all fiery zeal and courage with absolute determination to do good and denies every fiber in His being to work out true love on the earth in an amzing diplay that all religious coward never even dared to dream of…

 

 

1co9 Paul describes himself as exerting all of his effort to punch, beat, box, and run in an agonizing competition of fighting...

there is no laziness allowed at all in full Zeal in fighting against sin and the devil.

some people think that they can be lazy and go to heaven, but Zeal is part of the Gospel that you need to believe in order to be saved.

this agonizing word that Paul uses is the same word used to describe Jesus's Agony when praying In The Garden of Gethsemane.

Jesus's blood was first shed in this Garden when He took up his cross by faith before anyone had even set a nail or a whip toward him...

the gospel in the Bible demands that you not simply believe in a fairytale cross, but that you actually truly believe the real cross of the real Jesus enough to take up your cross and follow Jesus and do the same agonizing competition with all your exerting effort that he did in order to win.

now some people agonized for perishable crowns then, just as they do now in basketball and football, and even sometimes (although more rarely) in church.

some people work really hard and give all of their effort to advance in the corporate world, others give all of their effort to build up a treasure of on this Earth for their family (to give them a gold nest), and some people even become the devil's martyr, giving their life for heresy and absolute perverse and absurd vanity.

 

Zeal does not prove true, but lack of zeal proves false

so while agonizing competition does not prove that you are true, however if you are ever struggling to get zealous, let me suggest to you that this proves that you have a heretical gospel that you're Toying with, because the real gospel has an all out complete agonizing competition in order to win.

look at the heresy that underlies your complacency! You filthy perverted Protestants believe that you don't have to do anything to go to heaven, and here's Jesus agonizing while you sit back in your lazy boy!

you sicko Heretics make up your heretical doctrine of 'salvation by faith alone', which is nowhere in the Bible, while the real Jesus is bleeding in agony in his prayers, and demands that you to take up your cross and follow him in the same way before you even begin to claim that you believe him or have anything to do with being his disciple (luk 14).

...

eventually someone is going to ask, how do I know that I'm not earning my way to heaven, or doing my own works, or trusting in my own righteousness when seeking to take up my cross?

the only way to mess up is when you do things out of Faith, because when you actually truly believe the real truth, then faith is the gift of favor.

100% of your problems of trusting in your own works include unbelief and the works of the flesh.

you might say, how can I tell the difference between my own works and the works of faith?

I could mention how the works of Faith always work and succeed in virtue. I could say that truth always produces the most healthy reality in you. I could guide you with a few other solid principles of truth that the Bible lays out as boundaries for how do you know when you are in the truth, but ultimately if you want to know the difference between your own works and the works of Truth, you have to see it worked out in reality right in front of your eyes, and that's what discipleship is all about.

enduring in discipleship and drinking in the faith of Bible obedience is the real solution which God has given to humanity for them to be exposed to the truth and saved in righteousness and faith.

and if you say, but my pastor doesn't have any Zeal and can't teach me how to be motivated to live or how to be zealous!

that just proves the point that we are making here, that the Bible is true, absolutely true!

you really do have to really forsake all that you have to go find real discipleship...

Jesus told people to leave everything they had in common follow him, and right now, you can leave all that you have to come get discipled on how to really follow the real Jesus.

stop with the ridiculous excuses, and stop stalling out in perverted unbelief on the sidelines.

your pastor still needs to be discipled, (he is not wise, but at most only educated by this world, because there is no wisdom that can decrease zeal) but most the time he's way too heretical and proud and perverted to admit it. Are you going to perish in the same Wicked fate as he is about to be destroyed in?

in the Bible they did passionate things like beating themselves on the breast and crying out...

Jesus stayed up all night praying

they use passionate please in Desperate words of fire packed burning

and you? You can't even remember the names of the genealogies, and you quickly conclude that they are boring?

you think that the Bible is mostly boring because it is hard to understand, but it is hard to understand because you are so pathetic...

here is why you're pathetic

even at a young age, the Thorns have choked Your vitality and zeal

you are already grown up before you are 12 years old, and started dying the death of meaninglessness and complacent vanity

 

God made spouses to be passionate into each other, but we do in strangle and drowned it with feminism

 

God made women to cry out and be passionate when birthing babies, and we inoculate them with drugs so that they don't even feel it

 

God made humans to be passionate about spiritual things and Truth and we drown it with vanity and indulgences and worldliness and the worst of all, church

 

we are so dull we can't have fun even if we have a real opportunity for Quality fun.

 

we can't party for 7 days like they did in the Bible, but we will be lucky if we just get by with one day of artificially stimulated electroplastic Indulgence.

 

the good and passionate things that God made us to burn with like marriage and babies and families and reading the Bible we are losers at, and the evil indulgences which God forbid us to even enjoy that we faked and stimulate with artificial drunkenness.

CBN’s Satan Worship of Non-Fire

http://theblazingcenter.com/2011/07/being-radical-for-jesus-is-boring.html

 

You are Dead if You’re not Changing, Even While Listening Right Now

You are not spiritual if you can’t hear spiritual words

We are not doing the Satan worshiper Protestantism here. 

We’re doing the actual Bible were God can still declare truth today

Even right now, as you listen to potential discipleship and truth that is pure and perfect they could save your soul

For most people listening to these words, they are optional, because spiritual things are not the critical absolute vitality of their being.

They are not listening to these words as their only lifeline and hope for life

They are not being changed while they hear

They are treacherous thieves

Cherry picking from God’s vineyard

Stealing what belongs to Him and adding it to their own filthy house of harlotry

They are using the words of truth to add to their own preexisting faith (superstition)

 

You Are Just as Dead as CBN

You might think that you are not like Old church people, but the fact of the matter is, if you don’t recognize life and truth and living Words when you hear them, and you’re not moved by spiritual things, it doesn’t matter how you dress up your old dead corpse --

You can dress up in a suit, or you can wear flip flops to church in your postmodern vanity, if you’re not spiritual and loving spiritual truth, and moving, and being Vitaly revolutionized and changed and moved, you are sick and dead.

 

Being in love with Satan and changing by “growing worse and worse” is not a virtue.

In the end you will be stuck in death.

I have seen worthless live come and go so many times you make anathematizing apostates a life-long rutine!

 

If you are older than me and don’t believe, this just simply proves my initial point: you are a pervert and you are dead.

 

If you are younger than me and don’t believe, this displays the utter apostasy and sick age we live in, to where I watch young people “get older than me” and die in completely wasted lives.

Gal 4:18 KJVA  But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.

Side Note:

[This, by the way, is the only time this word is conjugated this way in the whole Bible.  That is why KJV translates this conjugation of  Strong’s # 2206 as “to be zealously affected”].

 

It is one thing to be deeply affected, (which is much needed by our generation) but it is another to be both deeply and zealously affected.  It is yet even a rarer thing to be affected this way by and for the right things.

ð So how do I know what is that good thing that I should be zealously affected by?

 

Heb 5:14 MKJV  But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

 

The point is to be zealously affected, but only once you have found the right things to be zealous for.  But once you know them, then be completely zealously affected with out any thing to hold you back.

Throwing Out  a Smoldering Log that was neither Hot or Cold

On 10/13/14 I remember dealing with a log in a wood burning stove and wondering, "what kind of parable is this?" because I basically ended up thinking of a saying within myself to a smoldering log, "I wish you were flaming or cold but now that you are just smking up my room I am going to cast you out of the stove and my room..."

By constantly smoking without a flame, the log was more of a nucanse than if it sat there cold. All of the investment that had gone into it and now instead of the fruit of a flame, it returned not only uselessness, but disgust and trouble to bear since the whole room was troubled with smoke...

Some Journaling from Repent of Zeal

Until you know truth, you need to be the most weak, passive, unexpressive, quiet, self-contained person there is:

Because if not...

(A) You will pollute others, and you have to have the integrity to not love satan in this way

(B) Because you have no right to care about anything that is not truth.

--

The more truth you have the greater you can be zealous

(Always remember: the goodness of God...)

But like it or not, or able to or not, YOU BETTER GET ZEALOUS!

Also, these things are not an excuse to not be zealous:

1. if you wait you can be zealous

2. If you can believe in truth you can be zealous (You are as far as faith)

3. You already have some things that you do know are true, so be zealous in what you do know

Zeal does not require Age. It requires wisdom. A new follower is as far away from zeal as they are from truth. But the longer that you sit around here, the less excuse you have to not know truth, and the less of an excuses you have for not having wisdom, and the less excuse you have for not Burning with zeal!

Isn't this the opposite of what we expect: "the older you are, the wiser are, but young people are zealous!" - But the less zealous you are, the more foolish you are, since zeal is what happens when you are truth.

Wisdom is the opposite of complacency. (how long sleep sl.)

therefore it is the friend of zeal...

You will never be more wise than you are zealous, because what is "wisdom" without truth, and zeal is the acknowledgement of truth, when you embrace it in your actions.

"Wisdom" without zeal is a game of trivia. Very unimpressive to God. Knowledge is information, and wisdom is the management of that information. Without zeal, you’re a knowledgeable fool.

Phinehas:

Num_25:10-13 KJV-Based And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous7065 for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy7068. 12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous7065 for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
