Consecrated

When of old we could only see God's fire: in the pillar of fire marking God's presence for the Israelites, or in the burning bush blazing into Moses' face - and what a breathtaking, mindblowing, blinding manifestation this was! - today we ourselves are ablaze with the fire of God.
Every believer has been consecrated with His tongues of fire (Acts 2), so that we can rightfully praise God - by His Spirit, He draws the 'Hosanna' from our mouths. We could not even declare His name without His assistance... but more than that: "he makes ... his ministers a flaming fire." (Psalm 104:4) Thus, He in us will blaze into the face of the world to draw his people back to His warmth and light, like Simon Ponsonby says, "By His power, I want to become this shining light that is ever pointing to the beauty of the Father. The Holy Spirit, the fire of God, did not come for our entertainment, but for our empowerment for evangelism."

O Lord, fill me to the fullness with this powerful Spirit of Yours, for Your glory!
