Ablaze for God - Day 1 Devotional

“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.”
Matthew 3:11

“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how
I wish it were already kindled”
Luke 12:49

A word from Pastor Mark:

Welcome to the “Ablaze for God” journey. In the next 50 days, we are going to seek a fresh outpouring of God’s presence on our lives and in our congregation.

Together, we will experience significant spiritual breakthroughs. We will find our hearts refreshed and renewed. We will examine our lives, and make things right. God is going to show up in a powerful way.

Our daily devotionals, the Sunday morning messages, and Monday night gatherings will be based on a mighty book, Ablaze for God, written by Dr. Wesley Duewel.

I consider it a favorite classic in my library. Over the years, this little book has provided spiritual strength and inspiration for me. Although written primarily for ministers, I heartily recommend Ablaze for God for any follower of Jesus who desires to be “on fire” and rise above the ordinary.

You can obtain a copy of the book at God’s Country Christian Bookstore. Here, we provide devotionals for the next 50 days. Written by members of our own congregation, they express the heart of what we sense God is calling us to be as church.

Please pray that God will do a mighty work among us. Pray that God will prepare your heart to receive ALL He wants to give you. Don’t let busy living, burdens, or annoyances hinder you from receiving God’s best!

Ask God to set your heart aflame with love and spiritual passion. Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit. Watch! Dive in! Join us on the adventure! Something good is going to happen.
