THE TORCH AND ITS BEARERS
Torches are the Light of God, Jesus Christ,
in every Believer.
Torches are meant to be burned in the darkness
and change the atmosphere.
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
JOHN 8:12
In Jesus' day, when they spoke of a light being cast across a room they were speaking of fire.
So, when Jesus said, "I Am the Light of the world," He was saying
"I Am the Fire of God come to ignite My Church."
Is your fire burning?
Psalm 50:2/Matthew 11:29-30/1 John 1:7/Luke 12:49
MANY CALLED, FEW CHOSEN
MATTHEW 22:14
Jesus started the Fire of the New Covenant.
He was called to ministry on the earth and during His life He proved to the Father He could be chosen to represent Heaven. This meant He could be entrusted with the Keys to the Kingdom.
Every Believer is called to be a Minister.
This calling is the invitation to be chosen to carry His Presence. The core requirement for being chosen is...
Time in His Presence.
Time spent receiving His Love and Loving Him back.
Only in His Presence do we have the spiritual strength to carry the fire.
Acts 2:2-3/Rev. 2:5/1 John 4:16/Matt. 11:29-30
In Christ You're a New Creation
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
A Disciple must learn quickly to keep their eyes on Jesus.
To successfully follow Him our eyes must stay on eternity
and not be distracted by the temporal.
This allows God's Word to be alive and is seen as
never before. Then, when we make the Holy Spirit Lord we can begin to experience freedom for ourselves which empowers us to go to people, families and even communities
with that same freedom.
Now the Lamb can begin to receive His reward.
Matt. 16:24-26/Gal. 5:24/Romans 8:13-14
