Fan the Flames & Stoke the Fire!
The Lord showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot. The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them. The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame.
The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings. Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out. This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Some of you need the fire of God ignited in your life once again. It is time for us to remove anything that is preventing this fire from being rekindled.
The Lord says; You have built an altar before Me, you have made a sacrifice which I have set My fire upon, but you have not kept this fire burning. I am calling My bride to rekindle the flame that has diminished. I am calling you to rekindle the fire once again that the enemy has continually tried to extinguish. Don’t allow anything to neutralize your walk with Me or annihilate your zeal for Me, but stir yourself up once again. Allow Me to breathe upon the embers to rekindle that fire that has died out. Throw off the weights of oppression that are causing you to be spiritually drained. Renew the passion that once burned in your heart and allow Me to release My glory in your life in an unprecedented way. Don’t allow the cares of this world to weigh you down and bring you into a place of complacency. It is time to refocus and renew the passion that you’ve once had. As you take your eyes off the natural realm and open your eyes to the realm which is unseen, I will empower you to accomplish all that I have assigned for you to do.
Receive the fresh impartation of My fire and allow the embers of your heart to be reignited once again. Remove any debris and anything that is causing the embers to smolder, and as you do, expect to receive new encounters. As you take the limits off Me and allow Me to ignite a passion in you, you will once again experience My glory. Allow Me to remove discouragement and set you ablaze with My glory once again. Don’t resist the changes which are needed to bring you into the fullness of what I have for you. Allow My Word to penetrate your heart as a fire shut up in your bones. Do not allow weariness and defeat to overtake you but resist any spiritual fatigue that tries to put out this fire. Do not be moved by adverse situations but fan the flames and stoke the fire once again. As you allow My fire to consume your life, it will soon become an inferno and you will become ablaze with My glory to advance My kingdom on this earth says the Lord.
Leviticus 6:13 “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.”
Leviticus 9:23-24 “Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.”
Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
2 Timothy 1:6 “(Amplified) That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands with those of the elders at your ordination].”

Matthew 13:22
Amplified Bible (AMP)
22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the Word, but the cares of the world and the pleasure and delight and glamour and deceitfulness of riches choke and suffocate the Word, and it yields no fruit.
