the FireCarrier

Our bodies are to be sanctuaries. As believers, the Holy Spirit abides within us. We as a corporate church and as individuals are sacred to Him (1 Corinthians 3:17, 6:19). We are responsible for what we allow and maintaining a holy lifestyle. I’ve found that God often brings things to light in natural ways to remind me of spiritual principles. And the LORD said to me, "Son of man, take careful notice; use your eyes and ears. Listen to everything I tell you about the regulations concerning the LORD's Temple. Take careful note of who may be admitted to the Temple and who is to be excluded from it.” Ezekiel 44:5 (NLT) I’d gotten out a teaching CD to listen in the car on my commutes to and from work. I found an interesting reminder. The speaker was stressing the importance of our spiritual eyes and ears. We are to use our eyes and ears. Throughout scripture we are reminded as to the importance of our spiritual eyes and ears. In keeping from certain things their acuity increases.

Have you learned who you are? Ask of me. Be prepared to listen. Feed my people what I give you. In me you are complete. Learn from me. I will hold back nothing from those who seek me with their whole heart. Is that you? I look at you wondering if you will be the one. Are you the one who will move beyond your perceived weaknesses? Listen to my leading you each day. Stop striving. Lock your eyes into mine. I am moving. Come move with me. My Spirit is hovering over those yet to find me. Feel the wind of my messengers. Be prepared to move into new realms. The day of preparation is before the Sabbath. Be filled with my spirit. The chariots blaze with fire of steel on the day of his preparation for battle. Rest in me. Be prepared to move forth. You can go as far as you allow me to move. Bring forth only that I ask for. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat--that is all you may do. Learn who you are in me. Ask and be prepared to receive what is needed. Fe

Though the world be older, the need for, nor the news has not changed. We are not to fear what God is saying. He is still sending messengers with a word of hope. We should be joyful that this message remains for us; in fact we can be sharing this same message with all people we are in contact. Take the time this Christmas season to ask yourself, "'Where is my joy?" Take time to be renewed and relaigned properly with our creator. He has not changed. His message remains the same as one heard by the shepherds working in the field that one night, long ago. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for take note, I proclaim to you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people: Luke 2:10 (NET)

Then I asked the angel, "Sir, what do these chariots mean?" He answered, "These are the four winds; they have just come from the presence of the Lord of all the earth." Zechariah 6:4-5 (TEV) Stand firm. You are not alone, but in a time of growth. Seek after me. Call out to me. Know I am answering, yet you may not sense it in your natural man, I am growing your spiritual perception, so you may walk in fuller manisfestation. I am about again to make myself known in new ways.

Increase your spending this Christmas season. God encouraged me by explaining that He desires to spend time with each of His children. He wants to build relationships with His friends. Expectations are a natural part of building maturing relationships. We are to begin to expect God in unexpected places. He wishes to reveal Himself to us, as well as to the lost. Ask Him and see if He brings us dreams and visions in the night (Daniel 7:2). He wishes to show us His ways and plans. Are you not His child?He wishes to teach us even as we sleep (see Psalm 16:7, Psalm 17:3, Psalm 42:8). He wishes to challenge His people to grow in His way. Begin to ask for more. There is much to be done. We are to receive from God so we might give to others. Allow James 4:2 to remind us that we are to pray/ask God for the things we want and need. It is in our growing relationship with God that we can see how faithful he is to reveal His word. "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes,

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. Deuteronomy 11:20 (ESV) We serve a mighty God. He is one who remembers us. He knows our frailties and failures and yet loves us. When we forget his ways he will send reminders. We are tested. As long as He knows our hearts are sincerely seeking Him, He pursues us. As I initially sat down in church Sunday 11/20, I searched my brief case for my pocket watch. I wanted to have it handy to look at, as I knew I must leave the service early. I found the watch. I thought the two year old battery must have died as the hands on the face had stopped at 08:02. I shook the watch and reset it to the proper time, but it made no difference. Several minutes later I re-looked at the watch, but it remained at the time I had previously set. I set it aside as the service
