THE REASON FOR THE BLUE FLAME BACKGROUND

I WAS ONCE TOLD THAT IN EVERY BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN THERE IS A FLAME OF HOLY SPIRIT THAT CONTINUES ON LIKE A SMALL BLUE PILOT LIGHT IN EACH OF US. THIS IS OUR LIFE LINE FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CHRIST. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN A PILOT LIGHT YOU KNOW WHAT I AM REFERING TO. THIS LIGHT STAYS LIT AND FANS TO LIFE WHEN WE ARE AT OUR BEST MOVING GOD'S WORD, OR WHEN WE ARE IN A SITUATION THAT REQUIRES GOD TO MOVE ON OUR BEHALF.

I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT CHRIST WAS MADE UP OF THIS PURE FLAME, THAT CHRIST HAD IT IN ABUNDANCE WHICH WAS WHY HE WAS ABLE TO DO SO MUCH WITH HIS LIFE. OH, HOW I WANTED TO BE MADE UP OF THIS PURE FLAME, TO BE SO CHRIST LIKE THAT EVERYONE COULD SEE AND ASK, "WHERE DID YOU COME BY THAT GLOW THAT YOU HAVE?", AND I WOULD ANSWER WITH, "WHY CHRIST GAVE IT TO ME, DO YOU WANT IT TOO? I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO GET IT."

I ASKED GOD TO MAKE MY PORTION OF BLUE FLAME JUST AS HUGE AS CHRISTS'; THAT I WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE HIM. THE HOLY SPIRIT ASKED ME A QUESTION INSTEAD.

"ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE THE SAME SACRIFICES FOR HIM THAT HE MADE FOR YOU?"

I ASKED THE HOLY SPIRIT WHAT THE QUESTION MEANT, AFTER ALL WE WERE ALL TO WALK IN CHRISTS' SHOES, WASN'T THAT WHAT WE ALL AIM FOR? THE ANSWER WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED TO HEAR, YET IN A WAY IT WAS...

"THE DAY THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO WALK THE SAME PATH AS THE MASTER OF ALL THAT LIVES WALKS, IS THE DAY THAT YOU WILL BE MADE UP OF THE PURE BLUE FLAME JUST AS HE IS. TO WALK IN HIS WALK YOU MUST GIVE UP EVERYTHING THAT IS, AND BE ALL THAT IS NOT KNOWN TO THIS WORLD. TO GIVE YOUR LIFE NOT ONLY TO HIS MISSION BUT TO GIVE IT LITERALLY AS WELL. TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE THOSE WHO WISH YOU A MANTLE OF DEATH TO KEEP YOU FROM USING THE MANTLE OF LIFE. ARE YOU WILLING TO BE THAT PERSON? WILL YOU NOT BE CONTENT WITH THE FLAME THAT YOU HAVE?

IT SADDEND ME TO THINK THAT I WAS SO FAR FROM BEING WHERE I NEEDED TO BE. THAT I WAS SO SELFISH WITH MY LIFE FROM FEAR OF DEATH, THAT I EVEN HAD ONCE ASKED GOD TO KEEP ME FROM HAVING TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE I MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE IT UP.

HERE I WAS IN A POSITION WHERE I HAD TO GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION I KNEW WAS GOING TO KEEP ME UP AT NIGHTS. WAS I WILLING OR WAS I NOT WILLING TO DO THOSE THINGS. WAS I MORE CONTENT TO JUST GO WITH THE SMALL PILOT LIGHT THAT I HAD BEEN GIVEN AND HOPE THAT ENOUGH OPORTUNITIES WOULD COME MY WAY TO FLARE IT INTO LIFE NOW AND AGAIN.

MY ANSWER WAS NOT WHAT I HOPED IT WOULD BE. I HAD TO BE HONEST WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, AFTER ALL IT WASN'T JUST THE HOLY SPIRIT ASKING THE QUESTION, IT WAS CHRIST AND THE FATHER AS WELL.

"I FEAR DEATH AS DO MOST OF US, BUT IN MY HEART I KNOW THAT IF THERE IS SOMEONE WHO NEEDS MY HELP, EVEN IF IT MEANS THAT I HAVE TO PLACE MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR THEM...THAN I HOPE THAT GOD WILL GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO DO WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE."

THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS CONTENT WITH THIS ANSWER AND REPLIED THAT I WOULD BE GIVEN A SLIGHTLY LARGER PORTION OF BLUE FLAME. THIS WAS TO AID ME IN A MINISTRY THAT WOULD FOLLOW IN CHRISTS' FOOTSTEPS.

SINCE THAT CONVERSATION MY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS CHANGED SOMEWHAT. I HAVE LEARNED MORE OF WHAT MY COUNTRY STANDS FOR. I THINK MORE ABOUT CHRIST IN MY LIFE AND TRY TO NOT DO THINGS BY MYSELF, AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT ASKING CHRIST FIRST...I TRY, BUT AM NOT ALWAYS AS SUCCESSFUL AS I WISH. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN YET.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE JOINED A OFFSHOOT OF THE TEA PARTY AND WITH HIS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AND MY ONLINE MINISTRY, WELL, I FIGURE WE ARE ON SOMEONES LIST FOR SOMETHING.

I ONCE HEARD A POLITICIAN TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE EIGHT THOUSAND PRISONS PREPARED TO BE USED AT A FUTURE DATE (?) IN THE UNITED STATES BY THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (MORE LIKE MISMANAGEMENT) AGENCY (FEMA); AND HOW THIS WORLD WOULD BE BETTER WITH TWENTY-FOUR MILLION LESS PEOPLE, (I BELIEVE HE WAS REFERING TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I). I PRAY WITH YOU FOR THAT DAY WHEN THE UNITED STATES WILL ONCE AGAIN TURN TO CHRIST FOR REDEMPTION. UNTIL THEN I PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM AND FOR A CONTINUED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ONLY TRUE ALLIANCE ISRAEL. MAY WE NEVER TURN OUR BACKS ON HER.

IN JESUS CHRIST NAME...AMEN!
