Flaming Spirit

Do not put out the Spirit’s fire. 1 Thessalonians 5:19

The Holy Spirit is on fire, and He wants to set you on fire today.

Too many Christians are afraid of false fire, misfire, or backfire. Don’t allow your fear of fire to keep you from encountering the fullness of Christ. 

When the Apostle Paul tells the Christians in Thessalonica, “Do not put out the Spirit’s fire,” he is not telling them to start a fire. You do not need to start a fire for God. You simply need to allow God to set you on fire.

Fire gets challenging when it gets out of control. Most people resist the Holy Spirit not because of theological issues, but because of control issues. It is impossible to be filled with the Holy Spirit unless you are willing to give Him control.

What do you say -- will you give Him control today?

Father God, today I relinquish control to the fire of Your manifest presence. Fill me now with Your Holy Spirit. I receive. Take control of my life—spirit, soul, and body. Set me on fire now. I trust You.
