Advancing Fearlessly and on Fire

What does it really look like to be on fire for God? What does that even mean? If you've ever seen a forest fire, their attack is fierce and can overcome the largest of areas. If we can come together as a people wholly devoted and sold out to being on fire for Him, we could take down so much more than we ever thought imaginable. A fire, if not taken in hand and stopped, can spread to the far reaches of an area. We need to be like that. We need new anointing and resolve and to decide that WE CANNOT BE STOPPED. Fire takes territory. Not with merely little bits of gusto here and there, but with immense power and authority. We need to stand up as the people of God and take back what the enemy has taken from us, and conquer what he has tried to establish. One really cool thing about fire is that in an instant, it can set other things afire as well. Walk in the power and authority He's given you and touch the lives around you. Before you know it, if we're truly dedicated and passionate about what He wants to do in and through us, we'll have set a fire ablaze, a group so committed to the things of God, nothing else matters. YOU can start a forest fire. Take the territory He has put in front of you. No complacency, no fear. Just wholehearted devotion and passion to change your world. That is how we can and will change our generation. We are not merely little lights to our world. A mere candle can be trampled or blown out. But a fire takes so much more to stop. The enemy will be using all he can to put out the fire within you. Stand firm in Him and allow it to grow.
