[revival-fire] Is it in you?

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

All this talk about war can be tiring.  Allow me to clarify some points.  Declarations of war do not always have to be made.  They just are.  When the sun rises in the morning, it does not come to trumpet blasts or much fan faire.  It just comes.  The declaration of war does not come from some bold proclamation, it comes from the core of who the sun is.

It burst forth and cannot be stopped or contained.

There is no striving in these war concepts, there is only getting out of the way.  Getting out of the way and being broken.

When we learn to die to ourselves, then it allows the supernatural of Christ to increase and shine forth in our lives.  The battle is not with the world around us, the battle is normally with our own flesh.  Overcoming the world does not seem to be the issue.  It is the choice God has given us, to submit to God, resist the devil.

The greatest battle comes down to choice.  It was the greatest battle for Adam and Eve.  It was a great battle for Abraham (which he won!)

It was a great character battle for Moses (which he lost over and over again!)

It was a great character battle for David (which he lost over and over again!)

And the list goes on and on.  The beauty for those like David, when they lost these choice battles of character, they knew how to be broken. And in that brokenness, God shined forth!

When we learn who is in us, and the power that is in us, and the promises that we have, we don't have to yearn to battle, we just live.  We live supernatural lives that are spirit filled, and as we walk.  As we move as light, darkness fades. 

Our very being is a declaration of war. Yet darkness can never invade the light.  Darkness can never take back the light that is in you. 

We can only concede territory to the night. 

That does not mean that we don't have to do anything.

Christ said it in one word – GO!

Our very being is a declaration of freedom, yet if we never move and invade, then we can never posses the land.

If Joshua never attacked, they never would have had the promise land, yet the promises was still, "Go, take the land, I have given you the city!"

But they still had to GO!

The whole healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons.  That should just be happening.   That is just the result of light shining.  That is the result of darkness fleeing.

We don't need more books on healing.  Not in America.

We don't need another book in concepts or ways to cast out demons.

Nope!

What we need are more books titled "Get Out of the Way!"  Learning to die the God way.

How to become broken 101 – it starts with the battle that is in you.  The Spirit and flesh.

The greatest battle on the earth takes place with Christians deciding that they are not fulfilling the destiny of God on their life, and they long for more.  They long to Live to Die.

Wild stuff, I know.  I will hit this more as the revelations pour. 

I love it, cause there is an awakening to the destiny of the bride taking place.

We are finding that revival does not come from a preacher, but can burst forth from inside of each and everyone of us.

Praise God….

Well, I got to go,

The Sun is rising – and this should be a good battle.

See ya on the front lines
