KEEPER'S of the FLAME - Keir Tayler

Hearts on Fire:
Exod 2:11-15; 3:1-22
The oil within causes the fire upon.
It’s not what the church can do for you, but what you can do for the Kingdom. Jesus said, "the Kingdom of God is at hand". It is a declaration of another kingdom which supercedes any upon earth. History is primarily a study of what man has accomplished. So often believers look at the world through the perceptions of the church, and not from the heart of God in heaven. One is earthly the other is heavenly. So interpretation becomes dwarfed by man's limitations instead of God's revelations.
In the book of Acts men are like us except – the only difference is they preached the gospel with fire.
The voice of the believer is to no longer be heard as an echo of history, but a bugle/scream of reality.
Bugles awaken from slumber - a church dormant to a church militant.
A keeper of the flame remains marinated in jet-fuel and not lemon-juice.
Get to a place to get it. Get to a place to release it. Get to a place to do both.
Squirrel religion, does nothing but hoard nuts. ..and that's what drive's us - NUTS!
Why does the flame go down:
1. You stop giving out.
2. A meeting cannot be a meeting any longer – it has to be God in meeting - He is ever-present. 3. False doctrine is never endorsed by the Holy Spirit. 4. Having no faith or compassion.
5. Fires burn when the gospel is preached.
6. Storms may come against the kingdom; yet the fire can carry you through the kingdom. (Peter on water)
7. Fire is the glory as the presence is the light. Don't lose them.
8. He is with you all the time – keep Him, don't lose Him...He is the same yesterday, today...forever.
9. When He is telling you to do things, do you do them?
10. Purpose in your heart to carry the "flame" regardless of persecution and what others think.
11. Religious blanket of peoples opinion.
12. Not about position, security, recognition - it is about those lost and dead in sin.
13. Check what you are listening to; spending time with; dream about....dilutes the fuel of compassion within you.
14. Unity in the home...fight with wife, office, bitterness, jealousy, guilt and others etc.
15. Know you can be used of God when you know we can do what He did too.
Church is about what happens in between meetings.
It is on the "streets of no name" not "the streets of some name" where you can put your hand in the flame and see people change, as some would prefer to remain in, "The 1st Church of St.Mattress with prophet Pillow, and Apostle Duvet."
It is not taught, it is caught
Fires are to rage and not to be sat at. Silent – graves are.
The great commission is not the great suggestion, … so healty churches may be a empty, as all have gone out to win the lost.
