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.’"

 

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

God's word, when spoken through His prophet, is powerful, consuming, and purifying—like fire. Fire is a living, breathing entity: it “eats” and destroys whatever is in its path and “breathes” to remain alive. If the Word of God is like fire shut up in our bones, as Jeremiah 20:9 describes, then the only outlet for that fire is through our mouths. 

The Word of God is a weapon—yet it must be used appropriately and powerfully. The Word 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, it is a revelation and a force. 

The Word of God is such a great weapon that in Revelation 11:5, God assures us that fire will pour from the mouths of His witnesses against anyone who seeks to harm them. It is like firing spiritual missiles against adversity. 

Speech is part of our daily lives, yet there is also “a time to be silent” as Ecclesiastes 3:7 says. Maintaining silence when others are speaking is a mark of respect as seen in Job 6:24, and controlling our tongues when entrusted with confidential matters shows discernment and discretion according to Proverbs 20:19. 

You may be in a place right now where you feel tempted to give up on what God has placed in your heart—but like Jeremiah, you must let the fire shut up in your bones come out of your mouth as a two-edged sword. When we pray, the words we speak are like fire—either consuming the works of the enemy or reaching out like a hook to draw in what grace has made available and what faith has paid for. 

In 1 Kings 18 and 2 Kings 1, Elijah used fire as a weapon both to defend his faith and to protect himself. Whatever other weapons we may use as Christians, the Word of God remains the primary and most powerful—it is a double-edged sword, a hammer, and a fire capable of breaking, consuming, and bringing victory. 

God promises we will not die in Psalm 118:17, yet the power of life and death is still in our mouths according to Proverbs 18:21. The power to change circumstances lies within us. When provoked, we must remember that the Word of God in our mouths is a weapon of fire—and we must use it with holy wisdom. 

On the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, cloven tongues like fire came down on God’s people—the same fire that is given to us when we receive the Holy Spirit. Those tongues of fire symbolized the heavenly language of power. How great is our God that He has given us a language of fire! This fire is ours to use. Let us speak boldly and release the weapon of fire from our mouths!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

-         In what ways have I experienced the Word of God as a consuming fire in my own life? 

-         How can I better control my tongue so that my words release life, not destruction? 

-         Am I daily speaking God’s Word over my situation, or am I allowing silence and fear to hold me back? 

-         How can I grow in using the “language of fire” (Spirit-led words) in prayer and spiritual warfare? 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for the power of Your Word, which is like a consuming fire in my mouth. Let my lips speak only what aligns with Your will. Teach me to use my words as holy weapons—to tear down strongholds, overcome adversity, and release Your life-giving promises into every situation in Jesus’ mighty 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. ...
