Exodus 6:13 – “Fire shall be kept burning continually on the altar; it is not to go out.”

The symbolism and theology of this passage are expansive.   The Altar represents a dual thought – the place of prayer and the condition of our hearts.   The Fire represents the Holy Spirit and His anointing.   The question is, “How do we keep the fire continually burning in our hearts?   The simplistic answer is, “By prayer, commitment, and obedience. “

We are a kingdom of priests.   Therefore, we are all ministers or witnesses and proclaimed of the Good News.  In 1 Corinthians, Paul repeats the reality that preaching or witnessing, which is just words, thoughts, ideas, concepts, or even revelations, is incomplete without the accompanying Power of the Holy Spirit.

What is the Power?   It is the manifestation of God through the supernatural.   Preaching, which is mere words without power, is extremely deficient.   Yet, that is too frequently what is transpiring today.

Too often, our preaching is just words, thoughts, and oratorical excellence but powerless.    No matter how we slice it, without the power of God, our attempts to fulfill the Great Commission and Isaiah’s prophecy about the anointing become nothing more than theory.   Theory does not transform our lives or others.    The Power of God validating the Word does.  It captivates and captivates, then transforms!

We must remember that we are All ministers.   We are all to manifest God’s supernatural power.   He said, “ALL POWER is given to Me, and I give it to you – Go Ye Therefore AND…”   Expectation is the missing element for most of us.

Too often, we see the situation, the confusion, the need, and the bondage and offer words rather than through God’s Holy Spirit’s command to change.  Knowing what the Bible says is of little value without the demonstration of the Power of those truths manifested.

My goal for you and me is to be filled with expectation and demonstrate the power of God in changing the environment around us (I’m not talking about weather but people and conditions).

We have authority.  Why Not Use It?   Why tolerate the devil having illegal influence?   Why allow powerlessness to prevail when we are one with The Power?   Today, decide that you will dare to believe what God says and expect the supernatural.

Have a victorious day in Jesus!
