Morning by Morning, February 21 - “Fan into Flame” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me begin this day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ... “Fan into the flame the Gift of God, which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6). Holy Spirit, You are the Gift of God, which is in me. You’re the very Presence of the Living God, here within me and within every son and daughter of God who’s opened their heart to let You in. “Or do (we) not know that (our) body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within (us), whom (we) have from God?” (1 Corinthians 6:19) “(We) are not in the flesh; (we) are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in (us)” (Romans 8:9). Be fanned into flame, Holy Spirit of God. Burn in my heart, as I carry the Fire of Your Presence with me everywhere I go. Let the Life of Your Spirit bring the Life of God to all who’d touch with Your Flame through me. Give me a deeper understanding and greater revelation of all that it means to carry Your Presence and give away the Gift of God that’s in my heart. As The Message version expresses this revelation of Truth: “If God Himself has taken up residence in (my) life, (I) can hardly be thinking more of (myself) than of Him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about. But for (us) who welcome Him, in whom He dwells--even though (we) still experience all the limitations of sin--(we ourselves) experience life on God’s terms. It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into (my) life, He’ll do the same thing in (me) that He did in Jesus, bringing (me) alive to Himself? When God lives and breathes in (me)--and He does, as surely as He did in Jesus--(I am) delivered from that dead life. With His Spirit living in (me), (my) body will be as alive as Christ’s! (Romans 8:9-11 The Message) Flame of God, residing and abiding in me, let me be fanned into flame, set ablaze, to burn for You today. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
