FLAMES OF FIRE 8-30-19 VIDEO DEEP THOUGHTS
We are supernatural flames of fire. Rekindled by the breath of God to move forward in the power of his word. The glory of the Lord looks like a consuming fire. Jesus looks like fire and we look like he does. We are filled with the glory of God. On the day of Pentecost we were immersed with tongues of fire. The church ministers are engulfed by fire. So we ministers burn with the same glory of God and the fire of his word.

15 His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.
16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. AMP

13There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account. TPT

FIRE- This was the pillar of fire that led Israel from bondage into the promised land. The same pillar of fire manifested here to initiate a new beginning from dead religious structures into the powerful life of the Spirit. Each believer received an overpowering flame of fire, signified by the shaft of light that engulfed them. It was as though each one received his own personal pillar of fire that would empower him and lead him throughout his life. This was the promise Jesus gave to his disciples of the one like me who would be sent by the Father and never leave them. Today every believer is indwelt by the Spirit of Christ
FILLED-There are two Greek words used here for filled. In v. 2, it is pleroo, which means filled inwardly. it is pletho, which means filled outwardly or furnished and equipped.
