Jesus wants you to be a hot briquette and light people up with the Word of God!

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Revelation 3:15-16 NKJV

The bible was written for us today. Why would Jesus say such a thing to us?

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 2 Timothy 2:20 NKJV

Jesus has a plan and a purpose for the righteous and the wicked. God uses both.

God chose Moses to lead His people out of bondage in Egypt. He chose Moses to deliver the law to His people. God used Moses to do great and might works such as the parting of the Red Sea.

God also used Pharaoh the king of Egypt. The bible says God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. God raised him up for a specific purpose. God used Pharaoh to glorify His name in all the Earth.

I am sitting at my computer writing down the words God gives me. This message will go out to thousands of people. I am stepping out in faith. God is being glorified. I will be done in a few minutes. What I do the rest of the day will determine if I am hot, cold or lukewarm.

If I am hot (filled with the Holy Spirit) God will use me to glorify Himself. If I am cold God will transform me and be glorified. If I am lukewarm (playing church but living like the devil) I will bring shame to Jesus and lead others away from Christ!

Jesus wants you to be on fire for Him today!

Jesus did not create you for mediocrity (lukewarm). He created you for greatness. I am not saying Jesus wants everyone to be rich and famous. I am saying Jesus wants all His people to be full of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus wants you to be more than a conqueror. He wants you to be an over comer.

God wants people to see Jesus in you today!

God raised you up for just such a time as this. He has chosen you to lead His people out of bondage to sin and unbelief. Jesus has chosen you to deliver the Word of God to His people!

God chose you to be a vessel of righteousness for His glory and honor today!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus wants you to be a hot briquette and light people up with the Word of God!
