When we diligently associate with the reality of God Himself through the work of the Spirit and the Word which we condition ourselves by disciplining ourselves by reading verses of Scripture and praying about it, automatically our spiritual frequency will continue to be directed only to God. This is what makes us accept His heart. We can know with certainty what He wants to do, and in that way, we give life to partner with God Himself as an awareness that we truly belong to Him. Our part as workers is to stay connected to His Word! This is part and also the essence of a true believer’s life!

John 15:1-4 (NKJV) “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

What is the main barometer of our existence attached to the Word of Life? Our spirits are burning!

Luke 24:32 (NKJV) And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

The problem is that all this time we think ‘there is no use for a burning spirit’, so we don’t take our condition too seriously:

1. We fail to understand that in fact the outer condition is very much determined by the spiritual realm.

2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV) By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

If we were aware of this, we would be more active in fellowship with the Word and pray and speak it until our spirits are stirred up. Thus, the outer things that have been suppressing our lives will experience changes according to His Word without us having to struggle to make changes in the outer world. Our lives can continue to focus on doing God’s will, not being distracted by anything.

2. When our spirits are blazing, we are actually conditioning ourselves to become ‘instruments of righteousness’, which God will use like ‘dynamite’ that can destroy various high things that exalt against the knowledge of God.

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

The word “power” is written with the Greek word “dunamis”. That is the root of the word dynamo, dynamics, and also DYNAMITE. So, we can already imagine that if our spirits are burning in the power of the Spirit, surely, we will become effective tools in God’s hands. Just look at how Peter’s speech influenced the minds of thousands of people who opposed the knowledge of God!

Acts 2:14 (NKJV) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Acts 2: 41-42 (NKJV) Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

I’m sure the same thing will happen to us who diligently stir up our spiritual man by reading, digging, and speaking the Word!

3. Our minds will be controlled in peace and joy by the Holy Spirit.

When we follow the will of the Spirit, namely focusing on reading and praying the Word, our minds will automatically be filled with things from the Spirit!

Romans 8:5 (NKJV) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Philippians 4:8-9 (NKJV) Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

During this time there are many people who are looking for peace in various ways, they get peace that is temporary. But all of that only comes and goes, because eternal peace and joy can only be obtained from the Holy Spirit. And that has been given to us children of His kingdom!

Through our burning spirit like a dynamo that gives rise to movement, then truth and peace and joy will spread to as many people as possible and explode various forms of deadly works that have made men live in sorrow! Movement will be born and move powerfully, starting from a spiritual revival inside us that has HIGH EXPLOSION!
