Hebrews 12:28-29The Message (MSG)
28-29 Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!
There are things and thoughts growing
in your heart. Things like trees, so strong,
and grass growing everywhere. There are
even leaves that fell from the trees. You
sit back and wonder, "What do I do with
all of this?" I want it clear and clean for
New Love to come in.
My thoughts grow like weeds in the woods.
One by one I can't get rid of them by just
picking them. What else can I do? I try to
pick them each day by renewing my mind
but they keep growing back. I am trying to
think of the strongest thing that I can get rid
of them by.
Prescribed burn is a way to leave things behind.
It is a fire that burns everything in its path before
it is time for it to be reborn. It is something healthy
to do to the trees and grass. It makes them regrow
more healthier and beautiful. It is a process that
makes us be more thankful for who we are then
who we were.
When it starts, you can't see through the smoke.
there is a lot of it. That is the same with out hearts
so many things get in there and the Lord can't get
in. He starts burning the bad things and ideas until
He can get in. He is torching the bad things that
needs to be burned. He is not just going to stand by
and let all those bad things get in our hearts.
God just wants to make me new and beautiful. He
is just cleaning His house, which is my heart. He
wants to burn away all the old, wrong lessons and
teach me new ones that are right. He wants to make
me a New Creation just like the tress and grass in the
Springtime. God is the Consuming Fire within me!
That is the kind of prescribed burn that I want within
me.
