The Lamps That Are Ablaze
The Call to Write is answerable through your faith that He will speak to you.
If you believe that the Voice of the LORD is powerful, which it truly is, then the power of God is going to meet you where you are.
If you believe that the Voice of the LORD is full of majesty, which it truly is, then the Word of the LORD that is sent to you will carry with it the essence of the Holy of Holies, where the 24 elders,around the throne of God cast their crowns before the LORD, and the four living creatures night and day cry out “Holy, Holy Holy is the LORD God Almighty, Who was, Who is, and is to come!” (Revelation 4).
In the Holy of Holies, there are seven lamps that are ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
They are called the seven Spirits of God. The lamps are not just flickering lamps to light up the throne room.
The flames are BLAZING with the fire of the Spirit. I believe these lamps are the flames referred to when John the Baptist spoke about the coming Messiah, where he said;
“There is One coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire.”
The Book of Revelation had not been written yet, but John, I believe had a vision of what was yet to be written by John, the brother of Jesus, (Revelation 4).
On the day of Pentecost, while waiting in the upper room in Jerusalem,where Jesus told them to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit, tongues of fire appeared over the disciples and they all spoke in various kinds of tongues, foreign languages, where the Jewish visitors from other countries were witnessing the hearing of their own languages, hearing about the wonderful works of God.
These foreign visitors knew that the ones speaking in tongues were all Galileans, (Acts 2).
I also believe that the same fire is referred to in the book of Jeremiah where it says;
“Is not My Word like fire. Is not My Word like the mighty hammer that smashes the rocks,” (Jeremiah 23:29).
The rocks refer to your unbelief. In Romans 10:9 it says
“Faith comes by hearing; and hearing by the Word of God.”
It is this Rhema Word of God that smashes the rocks of your unbelief.
The Fire of Holy Spirit in the Rhema Word That Is Sent makes this Word living and active.like the double edged sword, dividing joints and marrow, soul and spirit.
It is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is nothing hidden from Him to which we must give an account.
it will bring about the transformation leading to the renewing of your mind, (Hebrews 4, Romans 12).
Every day He is sending forth His Word, and it will not return to Him void. It will accomplish the purpose for which He sent it.
Jesus is The Word That Is Sent.
As stated in John 1,
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We beheld His Glory, the Glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Every day He is sending His Word to be realized by you, that He has a wonderful purpose for the Word He has sent you.
It will transform you into the likeness of His dear Son.
It will draw you into the Holy of Holies and you truly come to know that,
“The Voice of the LORD is powerful. The Voice of the LORD is full of Majesty,” (Psalm 29:4).
