God is a Consuming Fire

“For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29

This consuming fire comes after everything that has kept you from being your authentic self which is a passionate lover of Jesus. One who is ferocious about your relationship with Him. It consumes all things that cause fear and apprehension about who you are. It is important for us to develop in our daily lives what this consuming fire looks like day to day. I love how The Passion Translations tells us we are no longer a part of the old order, anything that causes the foundation of our faith in Abba to be shaken because we are of an unshakable Kingdom.

“Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain. Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom, we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. For our God is a holy, devouring fire!”

Once and for all Abba is removing, consuming all of the old things that caused us fear. How does He do this in our day to day? He speaks to us in every moment. So why are we not hearing Him in every moment? We aren’t paying attention. We aren’t listening for His voice. It’s hard for some to believe the Father is always speaking because we were taught something different about Him.

As you lay down your life in absolute surrender to our beautiful Father who is a holy, consuming, devouring fire you will realize with every breath you take He is there speaking to you. The light of His fire guiding you yet at the same time consuming anything that would hinder who you really are in Him. Any thoughts that tell you something other than what He says about you will be consumed in His fire of love. The words spoken over you from childhood no longer get to speak to you because they are consumed in His fire of love. The rejection. Consumed. The painful past. Consumed. The fear. Consumed. The anxiety. Consumed. The worry. Consumed. It will all be consumed by His love. He is jealous for your heart to be whole.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your relationship with the Father if you will let Him finish the work He has begun in you one day you will wake up with no concern of tomorrow. His consuming love will devour all those things that have hinder the authentic you that He created from the foundation of the world.
