FIRE IN MY MOUTH!

Jeremiah 5:14 NET

Because of that, the LORD, the God who rules over all, said to me, “Because these people have spoken like this, I will make the words that I put in your mouth like fire. And I will make this people like wood which the fiery judgments you speak will burn up.”


We are in a generation now that seems to think the fire has gone out of God’s word, but not so according to our text. Fire is potent, and the scriptures use fire as a representation of purification, destruction, God’s presence, transformation, and divine retribution.

Fire is a representative symbol of God’s presence and an instrument of His power, either in the way of approval or of destruction, according to Exodus 3:2 and 14:19. There could not be a better symbol for God than fire, and one of His names is the Consuming Fire in Deuteronomy 9:3.

Fire is a living, breathing entity—fire eats and destroys whatever is in its path and breathes to remain alive. If the word of God is like fire shut up inside us, as Jeremiah 20:9 puts it, then the only outlet for that word is through our mouths. The word of God is a weapon, but only when used appropriately and powerfully because it needs to be declared verbally for the heavens to put it to work, as stated in Job 22:28.

God’s word will never fail. Like fire in our bones, God’s word is a revelation. The word of God is such a great weapon that God assures us in Revelation 11:5 that fire will pour out of our mouths against anybody who wants to harm us. It will be like firing missiles out of our mouths against adversity.

Speech is part of our daily life, but we do not need to talk all the time. In fact, the Bible says that there is “a time to be silent” in Ecclesiastes 3:7. Maintaining silence when others are speaking can be a mark of respect, as seen in Job 6:24. According to Proverbs 20:19, controlling our tongues to keep quiet about a confidential matter gives evidence of discretion and discernment, and we must learn to restrain our tongues when we speak. You may be at a place right now where you could easily give up on what God has placed in your heart, but like Jeremiah, you must let the fire that is shut up in your bones come out of your mouth as a two-edged sword weapon. When we pray, the words out of our mouths are like fire thrown either at the enemy or a hook reaching out to procure for us what grace has delivered and what faith paid for.

In 1 Kings 1 and 2 Kings 18, respectively, Elijah used fire as a weapon to defend his faith and himself. Whatever weapons we use as Christians, the word of God is the main and most powerful one. It is a double-edged sword, a hammer, and fire that can do more damage in any situation than any manufactured weapon.

God promises we will not die, but the power of life and death is still in our mouths, according to Proverbs 18:21. The power to change any situation is still within us. When we are provoked, we must understand the power of the word of God as a weapon of fire in our mouths and be careful how we use it.

On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, cloven tongues like fire came down on God’s people, the same fire that comes on us when we receive the Holy Spirit. The tongues of fire were the emblem of the language we all speak. How great is God that He gave us a fire language of our own! The fire is ours to use; let’s use it, speak, and spit out the weapon of fire in our mouths.

PRAYER: Lord God, pour your Holy fire on me for empowerment, inspiration, and fervor for my faith in Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
