My first thought this morning was literally, "There is power, power here in this hour." and "God let Your fire fall again. Its burning in my soul." I love when even while I'm asleep He is directing my thoughts and the cry of my heart!
I bet you can guess were we are going from here. If you guessed Jeremiah 20:9 you would be correct. ".......But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back. And I could not!" I don't know if you have ever experienced the kind of burning in your soul that the song is talking about or as Jeremiah put it; 'a fire in your bones' but I know that I have! To be honest I am even feeling it in this moment with this message.
In Mark 1:40-45 is the account of when Jesus healed the leper who asked Him if He was willing. After Jesus had told him He was and He healed Him it says that Jesus strictly warned him and told him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." Jesus very clearly told him not to tell anybody. The man did not obey. It says in verse 45 ..."But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every quarter,"
This man, even though Jesus had told him not to, couldn't contain himself. He went out and began to proclaim it freely and what that means is he had a 'fire in his bones' or 'a burning in his soul' to tell everyone and everybody all about Jesus and his experience with Him. He couldn't contain it! It was too much to hold back; He blabbed to everyone and everybody to the point that Jesus had to minister differently from that point on. Because of one man's testimony the people flocked to Jesus wherever He was. When they heard He was in a certain house they flocked there and filled it to the point that they had to go through the roof to get to Him. When they heard He had gone across the lake, the crowd crossed over to find Him.
One man. One man with a testimony that glorifies the Almighty is all it takes to cause the multitudes to come looking for THE ONE who can make all the difference. One man with with a 'fire in his bones' or a 'fire in his soul' is all it takes draw a multitude to the kingdom.
He told Ezekiel to, Prophesy to the breath, prophecy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breath on these slain, that they may live.' He told him to prophesy to the wind because the army had no breath in them. When he spoke the words that God told him to the wind came and brought the army to life!
So? So, people of God speak to the wind! Speak to the wind, in this day, in this hour! Before the sun goes down today, speak to the wind and ask Him to bring new life, new fire, to your life and ministry! Speak to the wind to come with signs, wonders, and miracles and then go and proclaim the praises of your God to the nations! People of God, speak to the wind. With one voice, one resounding cry ask Him to bring the breath of life to the army of God so that revival fire will burn in the souls of His people. If ONE MAN with a testimony that couldn't be contained started the multitudes flocking to Jesus in his day; how much MORE could A PEOPLE with a 'burning in their soul' proclaim Him to the nations of the world today, in this hour!
People of God, speak to the Holy Spirit and receive! There is power, power, here in this hour. Receive His revival fire and then you too will be proclaiming to the nations, "ITS BURNING IN MY SOUL! I CAN'T CONTAIN IT!"
